Chapter 16: New Puzzles
It turned out that Dickens had also joined the tug-of-war lineup. Seeing that I was rescued, everyone softened like a deflated ball.
As soon as I wanted to go through the hard-won notebook, I heard the sound of "sparse lala" behind me. Duoduo hurriedly shone a flashlight, and she shouted in surprise: "Hurry up and retreat, they are coming up soon!" β
I hurriedly put my notebook in my bag, and immediately picked up my gun and jumped to Duoduo's side. looked down at her flashlight, and instantly gasped! My God, those undead skeletons were stacked one on top of the other, and they set up a "human ladder" to climb up.
Where can I still calm down, so I quickly pulled the trigger, and "da-da......" a burst of strafing. Although it didn't have much effect, it broke them up and knocked them off a lot. I hurriedly turned around and said to the old ghost and Lisa, "You two will help Dickens back to the ship first, and this will be handed over to Commander Ben!" Rest assured, we'll be there later. β
The old ghost and Lisa then helped Dickens back to our own ship. On my side, where can I take care of what waves do not waste bullets. Give me a lot of lighting, and I just split my head and covered the ground, giving them a "rain of hot bullets", and immediately beat them to pieces. Watch the old ghost they arrive safely, and Lisa has loosened the cable. I glanced at Toto, it was time to retreat.
Duoduo immediately understood and put away the flashlight. I fired again, then took out two grenades, pulled the bracelets, and threw them into the cabin. "Boom, boom" twice, I felt the fire behind me, reflecting the entire deck of the ship. Duoduo and I also took three steps and two steps and ran back to our boat. When Lisa saw us on board, she took the cable.
The three of us worked together to push the Carol Dearing back, and the two ships separated.
As far as I could reach, I threw three more grenades hard. After the three explosions of "bang, bang, bang", it may have caused some flammable materials or oil on the ship "Carol Dilling", and a series of explosions followed, and the "Carol Dilling" was immediately destroyed in the flames. A freighter with the significance of the symbol of the times disappeared from the world.
Looking at the firelight in the sky, our hearts finally settled down.
"Fortunately, you don't have anything, otherwise, I wouldn't have peace of mind for the rest of my life!" Dickens, who stood with us at the back of the ship, said, "Let's all get rest, we have to hurry to-morrow morning." May God willing, nothing ever go wrong again! β
With that, Dickens told everyone to go back to the cabin and go to bed. Early tomorrow morning, we have to leave for Savannah.
After the life-and-death struggle just now, where can we calm down for a short time? Although they returned to their respective quilts, they couldn't sleep at all. Since I can't sleep, I simply chatted with Kan Dashan. While chatting, I became sleepy again, and soon fell asleep again. After that, the night was quite calm, and I slept soundly.
At dawn, we were woken up by Dickens. He told everyone to pack up and get ready to go. I looked out the window, and although it wasn't yet dawn, the fog had cleared outside.
We slept comfortably and thought about going home, but we immediately became energetic. They all moved quickly, and soon they were ready to go. By this time Dickens had turned his engines and turned our ship around at full speed in the opposite direction from which it had come.
Less than half an hour after the ship sailed, the sky was completely bright. We took the opportunity to enjoy the dreamlike sunrise again, and couldn't help but feel the beauty of time and the magic of nature. For a while, all those troubles and dangers were left behind.
I thought that after the sun came out, it would be another sunny day. But unexpectedly, as soon as the sun was fully revealed, it was obscured by a cloud on the horizon. The clouds, against the backdrop of the sun, were as red as blood. One by one, endlessly. To describe it in the language phrase I have learned, it is: "The sun is like blood, staining the whole sky red." β
Duoduo and Lisa are mesmerized by the stunning scenery and lamenting that they don't have a camera. They didn't expect that there would be wind and rain for a while, and they probably didn't want to think about it. I heard Dickens sigh slightly, imperceptibly. After thinking about it, I understood what Dickens was worried about. As the saying goes: "If you don't go out in the morning, you will travel a thousand miles in the evening". Such a delicate and rich morning glow is not a good sign.
If there is a morning glow, there will be rain in ten days. On the sea, there is "no wind and three feet of waves", not to mention wind and rain. Under normal circumstances, as long as it rains, it will definitely not be light. We've seen storms at sea, and we don't want to experience them again. Dickens hurriedly told everyone that it was best to turn up the highest alert and be prepared for the storm.
Sure enough, as I expected, it was not that they didn't know, but they didn't want to mention it. As soon as Dickens said this, they immediately ceased to have the grace to enjoy the scenery. Picking up my mood, a trace of sorrow crept up her brow, and I looked at it and my heart tightened.
Duoduo is a lively girl, and from the day I was with her, I vowed not to let her have any more sorrows. But then it turned out that the idea was extremely naΓ―ve. As long as you are human, as long as you are alive, you will have feelings and troubles. Later, I could only reduce her sorrow as much as possible. I don't know why, every time I see her frowning and worried, I feel extremely distressed.
After these things, Duoduo's state of laughing happily has become less and less. In my heart, it's like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, and the taste is mixed. But I feel that I can't help it, and this feeling is really bad. We can't go on like this, we must do our best to find a way out and find the truth behind the matter.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly found the notebook that I had worked so hard to get and see if there were any new clues on it?
As soon as I opened it, I felt a musty smell and the salty smell of seawater, making me want to cough. I simply patted it and couldn't wait to open it. However, it turned out to be full of English, and no matter how you look at it, you can't see it. I struggled with my brain, but I could only understand a few words.
After watching it for a long time, I still didn't see why. In desperation, he handed the notebook to Duoduo. Her English is better than mine, and she should be able to understand better than me. Duoduo looked at it carefully for a long time, and didn't say a word, just watched attentively. I'm anxious on the sidelines, and it's hard to urge. However, since Duoduo looked at it so carefully, it means that she can understand it.
I didn't ask Duoduo, if she read it, she would tell me. It's useless to ask now, so it's better to let her study it quietly and carefully.
As soon as I thought about it, I found that Duoduo's face became more and more unsightly. I finally couldn't help but ask her, what the hell happened? Duoduo didn't gnaw, but his face was blue and white for a while. After about five minutes, Duoduo finally finished reading.
I hurriedly asked again, "Seeing that your face is so bad, what's wrong?" What is written on it? β
"I don't know what to say." Duoduo shook his head, sighed and said, "The people who died tragically above and below were all framed!" The names of those murderers were also listed, among whom was my grandfather. β
"Your grandfather?" My jaw dropped to the ground in surprise, "How so?" β
Duoduo shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand it either.
I suddenly remembered the blood words I had seen with the old ghost in the cabin, and I told Duoduo about it. Duoduo was also speechless in surprise, obviously not expecting it. Hurriedly asked me what was my grandfather's name? When I told her that her name was "The Ark," Duoduo immediately pointed to the name listed in the notebook and said, "Yes!" β
Lisa and the old ghost looked at me and Duoduo and said that they were surprised, and they were curious, so they also came over to join in the fun. As soon as we saw that we were discussing the notebook, Lisa snatched it and said, "I'll take a look too." β
The old ghost watched Lisa snatch the book and leaned over to read it. After watching it for a long time, looking at his expression, it was like reading a book from heaven, and it is estimated that he can understand it. But he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get over his face and couldn't afford to fall into this position, so he hurriedly pulled me on his back: "Boss, you spent a long time working hard, and you almost took your life to get this broken book out." This dare is good, but the result is all in English, I can't understand it! β
I shook my head: "Damn, just because you can't understand it doesn't mean that others can't understand it." β
When the old ghost saw that I was on the point, he stopped talking. At this time, Lisa suddenly shouted: "Nonsense! That's all nonsense! How could my grandmother be a murderer? β
Patronizing and arguing with the old ghost, he actually forgot about Lisa, and he didn't notice the change in Lisa's mood when she saw the note. was suddenly called by her, only to find that Lisa's expression actually changed from sunny to cloudy, and then "thunderstorm". What makes her love fluctuate so much?
At this time, Duoduo hurriedly asked, "Lisa, what's wrong with you?" What did you mean when you just said, 'Your grandmother is not a murderer'? β
Lisa's love fluctuated greatly, and she was speechless for a while, and only after calming down for a while did she say, "This mentioned my grandmother, and said that she was the murderer." This is a frame-up and a naked/naked frame-up! My grandmother has stayed abroad, but how can she be a murderer if she is such a good person? I'm sure it's not what this note says. β
When Duoduo and I heard this, we looked at each other, and Lisa's grandmother was actually on the list. How many people are still involved in this matter? Originally, it was confusing enough, but now a new puzzle has appeared. What are the secrets behind this?
