Verse 23 Phantom in the Mist

It's noon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

The originally bright vision was suddenly obscured by a fog that came from nowhere, and the whole process was like everyone getting into some kind of enchantment that could not be discovered from the outside.

Chen Yin lowered his head and looked at the monocular in his hand, its brass outer wall was just smooth enough to illuminate the shadow of a person, but in this short period of less than 1 minute, the smooth brass surface became blurred, and then quickly condensed a layer of water droplets to the extent that it was visible to the naked eye.

“…… What's going on? Vittoria wiped the water from her face and said, "We're going into the Sea of Mist?" Why are there no signs at all? ”

"That's it." Chen Yin climbed the handrail and looked down.

The fog around was getting thicker and thicker, and even the deck could not be seen from here, except for a large black shadow showing the location of the ship's hull.

"Let's go down...... Be careful, I always find this fog a little weird. ”

Vittoria nodded.

The two of them slowly slid down the mast to the deck.

"Are you two alright? Why don't you say yes? Angel was a little worried and a little complaining.

"It's okay...... But I didn't hear anything, huh? What about you? Chen Yin was stunned for a moment, and turned back to ask Vittoria.

"Well, I didn't hear that either." Vittoria didn't hear it.

"I remember that there were only the two of us talking on the mast, and even I could hear your breathing, if there was anything else, I would definitely ......" In the middle of speaking, Vittoria suddenly stopped and looked at Chen Yin in a daze.

"That's right!" Chen Yin also sounded, "I just felt that there was something wrong with this fog, and now I finally remembered...... It was so quiet just now that you couldn't even hear the sound of the waves and the sailors talking! ”

"It seems that the fog will also isolate the transmission of sound." Angel said, "What about the captain? ”

Vittoria replied, "He's ...... Helm platform, wait for me to call him......"

"No, we'll go." Chen Yin stopped Vittoria.

……

When the fog first fell, the sailors were in a little commotion, but they were still busy amid the boatswain's shouting and whiffing.

However, when Chen Yin passed between the sailors, he could still see the panicked expressions on their faces.

"They don't know where it is, do they?" Chen Yin was a little worried and asked through the soul link.

"I don't know, only the captain, first officer, second officer and navigator know the route on the ship, but these people are all controlled by me, you don't have to worry." Vittoria said nonchalantly.

"But...... The mentality of the sailors seems to be somewhat shaky. ”

"It's okay, the captain said he could still control it." Vittoria patted Chen Yin on the shoulder, squeezed past him, and climbed up the stern deck first.

Chen Yin and Angel glanced at each other and continued to follow.

On the helm, the captain looked into the distance with a serious face.

"How's it going?" Angel asked.

The captain took off his hat and saluted to Vittoria first, then bowed down to Chen Yin and Angel for a while, and then slowly straightened up and said, "The wind is stable, but it's ......."

"But?" Vittoria raised an eyebrow.

“…… There is something wrong with ocean currents. The captain looked ahead of the fog and said worriedly, "When the fog just started, I was going to slow down and turn around, but ...... Our direction didn't change even after the steering wheel turned......"

"Could it be the illusion of no reference?" Chen Yin looked at the dense fog around him and said.

"No, first of all, the direction of the compass hasn't changed." The captain opened the compass he was carrying and gestured, "Next...... Our wake has not changed. Please note that...... Left rudder fifteen. ”

"Left Rudder Fifteen!" The steerer repeated, and quickly turned the wheel.

"Fifteen degrees left."

With the steering sailor's report, the spinning Doron stopped again.

Normally, a 15-degree deviation would have been able to clearly see the trail of the wake change, and the fog was so heavy that it would obscure the track, but the people standing on the helm platform saw nothing, and the two wakes were still spreading straight to both sides.

"See?" The captain said with a heavy face, "I suspect that there is a problem with the current......

"......" Chen Yin looked at the track suspiciously, and suddenly his heart moved, walked to the side of the ship, and looked down......

Here you can see the water splashing under the ship, and if the light is good and the water is clear, you can even see it three or five meters deep.

However, with the current visibility, it is obviously difficult to see the underwater situation, on the one hand, the light is not enough, and on the other hand, due to the fog, the water surface is pitch black from here, like a deep pool, with white spray.

"Left full rudder." Chen Yin, who was staring at the black water, suddenly ordered.

The captain was stunned and looked at Vittoria.

It is rare to operate a boat with a full rudder, and such a drastic action can cause a lot of danger, especially in the case of ocean currents, when a sudden left full rudder will make the hull roll sideways and tilt to the right.

Vittoria didn't understand this, and since Chen Yin wanted to be full of rudders, she agreed, so she waved her hand impatiently and motioned to the captain to hurry up.

Now that Vittoria agreed, the captain didn't say much, and ordered, "Left full rudder." ”

"Left full rudder." The sailor at the helm quickly hit the steering wheel to the far left, and then held the steering wheel and reported: "Full rudder left!" ”

Chen Yin's eyes stared at the pitch-black sea without blinking, but unfortunately the splash on the bottom of the boat did not change at all, and there was no reaction when he turned around, which should have been rapid.

“…… Give me a rope, and I'll go down and see. Chen Yin frowned.

"Be careful! We don't know when we're going to run into those sea monsters or something...... "Angel worries.

"It doesn't matter." Chen Yin took the cable from the sailor, tied it to the mast and tugged hard, and then jumped off the ship without saying a word, and hung down to the sea.

Chen Yin grabbed the rope with his left hand, and the whole person hung in the air at the stern of the boat. The wreckage of the rudder can be clearly seen here......

That's right! The original huge rudder is only a small wreck still hanging on the hull! It's a ghost when the steering is useful! It's not a matter of ocean currents at all!

"The rudder is broken." Chen Yin shouted upward.

"You...... What......" Vittoria's voice came as if it were nothing.

It was only a few meters away from the stern of the ship, and even then Vittoria's voice had become as if it were hundreds of meters away. From this point of view, in this strange fog, the effect of the fog on the sound is not very obvious at the same level, but the sound insulation effect is very significant at the vertical distance.

“…… The rudder is broken. Chen Yin shouted, but his voice still couldn't be transmitted,

Just as Chen Yin was holding on to the rope and was about to climb up, suddenly a black shadow swept over the corner of his eye.

"Something!" Chen Yin turned around violently, the light in his hand flashed, and a sharp long sword appeared.

There was silence all around.

"Whoa...... Whoop ......"

In the sound of the waves crashing against the hull of the ship, Chen Yin hung on the stern of the boat and swayed gently, staring at the surrounding sea with his eyes.

Although he didn't see what the black shadow was just now, he was sure that he wasn't dazzled—something was disturbing the two white wakes, but the thing fell back into the water before Chen Yin's gaze could be shifted, leaving only the slowly diffusing waves that slowly diffused, disrupting the straight wake.

After a while, after making sure that there was no danger around, Chen Yin put away his long sword and slowly climbed up.

"What happened just now?" As soon as Chen Yin came up, Vittoria dragged him and asked, "What were you shouting just now, and then drew your sword again...... Are you in any danger? ”

The following will be revised, 1600 words about 1 hour.

Vittoria said nonchalantly.

"But...... The mentality of the sailors seems to be somewhat shaky. ”

"It's okay, the captain said he could still control it." Vittoria patted Chen Yin on the shoulder, squeezed past him, and climbed up the stern deck first.

Chen Yin and Angel glanced at each other and continued to follow.
