Ghost ships have been found all over the world, some of them very old. All legends have the same beginning, that is, at sea, a ship was found intact, but there was no one on it.

On some ships, there is even a half-eaten dinner, but the person who eats has disappeared and will never be seen again.

What did they encounter while eating? Where is it going, it will always be the subject that suspense novelists are most willing to explore,

A-Ning held a wind lamp and illuminated the number on the oxygen cylinder, which was stamped in black ink - K5-883.

I don't think I've seen this number anywhere, but I can't remember it.

A-Ning explained, "This is the ship number of the ship hired by your third uncle, and our company's regulations stipulate that all inspection equipment must be numbered the same as the ship's number." ”

My mind turned: "Ah, yes, I saw this number when I read your report on the plane, but strange, how did the third uncle's boat drift here?" ”

A-Ning said that this is not surprising, in the storm, the flow of water seems to be chaotic, but in fact, there is still a certain vein to be found, and we probably happen to fall in the same vein as the ship, drifting in the same direction.

This boat drifted here along the current, and it seemed to be a big coincidence that it met us who fell into the water, but in fact, it was inevitable to some extent.

The wind outside was getting louder and louder, and the big waves were crashing against the side of the ship from time to time, making the whole ship sound like it was about to be torn apart, and the damn storm didn't know how long it was going to blow.

We found a dry place in the warehouse and sat down, took the hanging stove to keep warm, I sneezed several times in a row, A-Ning smiled and shook his head at me, and took out a few bottles of soju from a wooden box for me to drink.

I saw that she was familiar with the ship's stop, and she knew everything exactly where and where it was, and I felt strange in my heart.

She told me that the foreign exploration mechanism is very perfect, from the purchase of instruments to the stacking order of goods in the warehouse, there are relevant regulations, which usually seem unreasonable, but when it comes to an emergency, it will play an effective role, you see we are now, if there is no such regulation, maybe nothing can be found.

I sighed in my heart that foreign explorers have a strong ability to survive in the wild, and they have worked the details, which is really worth learning from in China.

Our wetsuit did not pull on the waterproof training before falling into the water, to hang the stove to bake, the sea water inside the clothes formed a layer of white powder, very uncomfortable, A-Ning took out the spare diving suit, took the wind lantern to walk behind a pile of goods to change clothes, she grew up abroad, very open, I looked at the graceful figure illuminated by the wind lamp, I couldn't help but get up.

Halfway through the change of clothes, A-Ning suddenly screamed, poked his head out and called me, "Mr. Wu, come over quickly." ”

I was drooling over her shadow, and when I heard her call me, I was startled and asked her what was wrong?

She neatly wrapped her plump upper body into a wetsuit, stepped out and said to me, "There seems to be something in the pile." ”

I walked over and picked up the wind lamp to shine it, and found that there was a black thing in the gap between the cargo box and the wall of the ship, hiding in the shadow of the gap, and it was difficult to find it if I didn't take the wind lamp to shine it. This thing curled up in a ball, and at a cold glance, he thought it was a human head, no wonder A-Ning was startled.

I reached over and touched it, and found that it was a backpack, a very ordinary kind, and I don't know why it was hidden here.

A-Ning was relieved to see that it was really only a bag, I wondered in my heart, is there something important in the bag, someone on the ship hid the bag, does it have anything to do with the disappearance of the people on the ship?

I was honest, you were not welcome, I opened the bag and poured out the contents of the contents, a bunch of documents and a change of clothes, I picked up these clothes, and found that under the clothes, there was an old waterproof bag, the rubber had cracked, inside the bag, there was a notebook that was almost falling apart, I looked at it, and a few words were written on the cover:

Archaeological record of Xisha Wanjiao, in July 1984, Chen Wenjin donated to Wu three provinces.

I didn't expect this bag to be the third uncle's, and I was very surprised at the moment.

This notebook may have been given to the experts when they were archaeological in Xisha Wanjiao, and the third uncle probably kept it as a souvenir until now, I don't know if there is anything recorded in it that I don't know.

I was curious, so I just flipped through it.

The third uncle's education level is not high, but he is a very serious person who does things, he uses the same format for every day's records, and the list is clear, I saw that the first page is the first day they set off, on July 15th, there is a list on it, the team leader is Wu Sansheng, what is the name of the stuffy oil bottle, I remember that the third uncle mentioned that he seems to be surnamed Zhang, and when I looked for it, there was a person named Zhang Qiling, could it be him?

The main content of the front is to find and determine the specific location of the sea bucket, very detailed, to the point of wordiness, even the type of rope, and the process of reasoning are written, I already know these contents, there is no need to read it again, just speed up, until the next few pages.

The last few entries caught my eye,

On July 21st, we were ready to enter the submarine tomb for the first time, and I had already found the entrance, and after figuring it out, this ancient tomb was not complicated.

On July 24th, we went in once, and found a strange phenomenon inside, it seems that the tomb is not "clean"

Seeing these two lines, I was stunned, what is going on, could it be that the third uncle had already sneaked into the ancient tomb once when he was investigating.

What he told me at the time, "I won't say anything if I bring it to the grave," does it mean that when he was conducting an investigation, he entered the ancient tomb that was theoretically impossible to enter?

So what did he encounter when he went in? Here he writes: What strange phenomenon is the discovery of a strange phenomenon? What does it mean that the tomb is not "clean"?

In just two sentences, the doubts brought to me were even more fierce than the waves outside, and I felt that countless question marks were about to burst my brain.

I went through the notes a few times to find more clues, but the rest was all blank.

Recalling the third uncle's attitude on this matter, there are too many strange things, which are very different from his previous personality, and behind this matter, I am afraid there is an inside story that I can't imagine. But I don't know when these secrets will be solved.

Between thoughts, A-Ning snatched the notebook from my hand, and looked carefully, I don't mind letting her know these things, anyway, the content in it doesn't touch the core of the problem at all, and the more you look at it, the more confused you become.

We ate a little, boiled hot water, and wet our towels to cover our aching hands.

After this toss, our physical condition quickly improved, and although the wind was still raging outside, I no longer felt nervous.

After eating, I asked A-Ning to rest first and look around by myself, I slept on the boat and was in better spirits than her, and now I can't sleep if I want to.

I took the hanging stove and hot water to the outer warehouse, so as not to wait for it to shake down and burn people. When I was done, I lit a cigarette and sat down in the cab, looking at the rough sea in front of me and wondering what to do next.

I don't know if the ship can still start, and if it drifts like this, it won't be too dangerous for a short time, but if it drifts into the reef, it may run aground and sink.

Human beings are too small for the ocean, even if the two of us have wisdom, we can't resist the power of nature, we can only be saved today, it can only be said that it is lucky, but how long can such good luck last?

I was fascinated, and I don't know how long it took, when a few waves hit the front window of the cab, and the glass buzzed, and it seemed that the wind direction had changed.

At this time, I found that A-Ning was awake and was yawning over, the tights were lazily half-pulled, and half-plump breasts were exposed intentionally or unintentionally. I don't know if it's her habit or if she's deliberately seducing me, so I ignore it and turn my head to look at the sea.

Although I'm not Megumi Yanashita, but in this case, I don't want to mention the love of men and women.

She greeted me and walked over to the stove to warm up and asked if I would like to go to sleep for a while.

I have something on my mind, I'm afraid I can't sleep, I'm half asleep and half awake is even more tired, I shake my head and say no, let her continue to rest.

She smiled, sat down next to me, lit a mint cigarette, and looked at the sea in a daze.

I didn't understand one thing, so I asked her: "When the third uncle came to you, only a few words from him, how did your company believe this matter, and contributed money and efforts, as far as I know, your kind of company inspection procedures are very strict, and the credibility of the information must be discussed by the expert group, the third uncle's words have no basis, according to the usual practice, your expert group should not hesitate to shoot this project." How did it pass? ”

A-Ning nodded and said: "I'm also very strange, I heard that it couldn't be passed at first, and then your third uncle showed the expert group something, and I don't know how to succeed, what the specific situation is, I can't know the bottom layer like me." ”

I thought to myself that the third uncle did have the means, and it must be a very crucial thing to convince those shrewd Americans.

Ah Ning said to me: "Your third uncle looks like a very strange person, that is, earthy and foreign, looks rude, and very careful, he gave us a very detailed plan, it is almost all-inclusive, even the matter of us coming to you, he also planned in advance - in the emergency handling method, the first person to replace him is you." I think in some ways, this plan is a prophecy, and many of the things he lists have actually happened. ”

When I heard this, I vaguely felt that things seemed to be a little wrong, the third uncle hated plans the most, he had lived a messy life for most of his life, why did his temperament suddenly change drastically?

I asked her if she could recall anything special about the third uncle's plan, and A-Ning thought for a while: "Then I didn't pay attention, but there is one thing that is really strange, he requires that all the equipment must be prepared in two copies, one in the port for backup, because of this, we can make the trip so quickly this time." ”

At this time, she told me that she seemed to hear something behind the cargo hold, and asked me to take a look.

I thought to myself whether it should be a mouse, so I picked up a stainless steel pipe on the side and walked over with her.

After passing through the hold was the sailor's lounge, and then there should be the bow of the ship, and I turned on the windlight to look at it, and found that the bow of the ship was separated by an iron wall, and the partition was welded to the hull on all sides, and there was an oval steel door on it, and on the door there was a rotating sealing lock like a car steering wheel.

A-Ning went up and spun a few times, but the lock didn't move at all.

When I looked at it, there was a layer of rubber between the door and the frame, which completely isolated the space inside and outside the door.

Such a door is generally used on large ships, and in case of an accident, it can seal the room and isolate the seawater, but I don't know what it is used for preventing it here.

When I was wondering, suddenly from the iron door, there was a sound of fingernails scratching, the sound was very clear, as if someone was grasping the iron door inside.

I sighed, and said in my heart that all the missing people were locked inside, and this was okay, and A-Ning shouted: "Quick, those people may be in this, quickly open this lock!" ”

I lifted the steel pipe in my hand, inserted it into the lock disc of the rotary seal lock, made a simple rotary lever, and then with a strong force, I heard a crack, and the lock cylinder began to turn.

Once this lock began to turn, it was very labor-saving to open, and I turned eleven times in a row, and there was a series of pimple sounds from the door, and the lock disc of the rotary sealing lock began to turn on its own.

I pulled A-Ning back a few steps, and before we could get ready, suddenly there was a loud bang, and a large amount of water rushed out of the door, and we were instantly thrown to the ground, and rushed straight down the current to the cargo hold, and I hurriedly pulled a ball of canvas to stop myself.

The steel door was swung back and forth by the water, making a creaking sound.

I sat up straight and saw the wind lamp fall on the side of the door, flooded, and the flame inside kept flickering, as if it was about to go out. I wanted to go and pick up the wind lantern, but suddenly A-Ning grabbed my hand and wouldn't let me pass.

I looked up, and behind the steel door, I don't know when a huge face full of scales and two green eyes came out, staring at me silently like a ghost.
