Andrey held a solemn but simple funeral for the four crew members, and dozens of crew members and members of the action team stood on the deck to pay a moment of silence for their final journey.

The sea is calm, but under the calm, there are countless dangers.

After the funeral, the members of the action team and Andre sat in a small conference room in a daze, originally everyone wanted to arrange today's operation tasks together, but now it seems that the next operation may not be so simple.

Not to mention the giant tower at the bottom of the sea, the strange human head last night alone was enough for them.

Hua Ye sat silently in the corner on the side, he held the captain's diary in his hand, no one on the ship knew Japanese except him, so he had to personally sort out the information in the diary, hoping to find something useful.

After a moment of silence, there was a knock on the door of the small conference room.

Andre looked a little listless, after losing four of his own crew members, he raised his head tiredly, and said softly: "Please come in." ”

The door opened, and the person standing outside the door turned out to be Katyusha, who looked a little haggard, but this added a touch of charm to her beautiful face.

There was also a man standing beside her, who was in his sixties, with a thin face, a dark complexion, dressed in a white sailor suit with some yellow grease stains on it, but these were not his greatest characteristics, and when they looked at him, they saw that he had an Asian face.

Andre was a little surprised when he saw this person, and asked puzzledly, "What are you doing here, Lao Li." ”

This person's name was Lao Li, and he didn't answer. But he looked embarrassed. glanced obliquely at the Katyusha next to him.

Katyusha had walked into the small conference room. Whispered: "Comrade Andrei......" On the boat, she seemed to keep calling his father Comrade Andrei, and she continued: "I don't want to disturb you either, but ...... But Lao Li has something to say. ”

Andre looked a little indifferent, but still explained to everyone present: "This is Lao Li, he is also a Chinese, and he is also a good Cantonese cook, he is the oldest person on my ship." ”

Talking. Andre smiled kindly and said to Lao Li: "Lao Li, if you have anything to say, just say it here, they are not outsiders." ”

Lao Li looked a little embarrassed, as if he didn't want too many people to hear what he was going to say, but since the captain said so, he sighed, paced into the small conference room, and stood in the doorway, looking a little cramped and uneasy.

"Comrade Captain......" Lao Li said in a distinctly Cantonese Chinese accent, "I had already slept last night, but I heard gunshots. I followed everyone to the deck to watch the excitement, and the result was ...... As a result, I saw the Japanese ship. And the ...... on board"

His voice trembled suddenly, but he continued, "And that thing on the ship." ”

Originally, Andre still had a smile on his face, but he didn't expect Lao Li to talk about the incident last night, so he couldn't help but lose patience and said impatiently: "Lao Li, what do you want to say, we have all seen that thing, but I bet none of us want to mention it again." ”

Lao Li seemed to have made a lot of determination, clenched his fists, and then said in a trembling voice: "Comrade Captain, that thing from last night, I ...... I know. ”

"What did you say?" André almost jumped out of his chair, because they had sat in this small conference room early this morning, and although no one had said anything, there was no doubt that everyone's mind was thinking about what had been on the ship last night, and that was undoubtedly their biggest problem now, but none of them knew about it, or even heard of it.

Now Lao Li, the Guangdong cook on the scientific research ship, actually took the initiative to come to say that he knew that thing, which is definitely something that none of them could have imagined, and it is also the information they need most.

Captain Andre jumped up from the chair, and the other people reacted similarly, Gao Chao and the fat man also immediately stood up and looked at Lao Li, Hua Ye put down the diary in his hand, sat up straight, and also looked at Lao Li to say something.

But without waiting for them to ask, it was Katyusha who almost cried and asked, "Lao Li, what ...... What exactly is that thing? ”

Katyusha is undoubtedly one of the victims last night, although she was lucky to be rescued by the fat man, but the fear hidden in her heart has never been dissipated, if it weren't for her strong personality, if it were other ordinary girls, she might have even had mental problems.

So when she heard that Lao Li knew that kind of thing, a complex feeling burst out from the bottom of her heart, human beings are always like this, the more she feels afraid of something, the more she will want to understand, and the more interested she will be.

Lao Li looked at Katyusha, his dark face turned a little sallow, and said: "When I was a child, I once saw a fisherman catch that kind of thing, and the whole village went to see it, and some old people recognized it and called it Hai Niangniang." ”

"Sea Lady?" The fat man suddenly said, "I seem to have heard of you saying that." ”

Gao Chao hurriedly pulled the fat man and motioned him not to interrupt Lao Li's speech.

Lao Li then continued: "At that time, the old man in the village said that Hai Niangniang was a ghost who died unjustly in the sea and became a sperm, and it would be unlucky to meet her, and also said that our whole village will not be peaceful in the future, some people are afraid, so they asked how to deal with it, the old man said that Hai Niangniang loves to eat children, so let the village find a pair of boys and girls to feed her, praying that she can leave safely and not come back in the future." ”

At this point, Lao Li sighed and said: "At that time, many people looked at the appearance of Hai Niangniang with their teeth and claws, and they were so scared that they wanted to die, so they agreed to the old man's proposal and discussed using the method of drawing lots to choose two children from the village. ”

His voice was a little hoarse, and he continued: "That night, about three or four young men came to the place where the sea lady was locked up, and they dragged up the fishing net that locked the sea lady, and hung it on the coconut tree by the sea, and then raised a bonfire below, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, and set all the hair of the sea lady on fire, and the three young men thought that this could burn her, and added firewood to the bonfire, but the flame was too high, and the fishing net was also burned, and the sea lady took the opportunity to escape. It is said that in the blink of an eye, it rolled into the sea like a fireball. ”

The fat man couldn't help but listen to it, and said, "That...... And what about later? (To be continued.) )
