Chapter 12, Human-Faced Ghost Flower
After a few of us sat down in Jenny's rest room, Mai Lao asked, "Zhongyi, what did you encounter with Kuroko?" How could this happen? ”
Jenny was also nervous and said, "yes, Zhongyi, what the hell happened?" Kuroko died too miserably. ”
"yes, what the hell is going on?" This time, the sailor door is no longer noisy, but they are anxious one by one, and even Li Xin, who usually doesn't talk much, is worried.
I stretched out my hand to signal everyone to be quiet for a while, and then I asked Jiao Ba for a cigarette and lit it, and after a few puffs of hard puffs, I could calm myself down, although I had only known Kuroko for less than a month, but when I saw him die in front of me, I still felt a little unbearable, especially when I saw him finally turn into that green skeleton, I couldn't talk about fear, but I was helpless, because I couldn't save him.
Junko brought me a hand towel, I wiped the rain off my body, took another puff of cigarette and said, "I don't know what I encountered, it was under the deep sea"
I recalled everything that had just happened, and slowly recounted it, the strange thing still hovering in my mind, and when I finished telling it in detail, the other people had strange expressions, some frightened, some stunned, and some at a loss.
"Zhongyi, you don't have a fever, do you? Is there anything in this world that you are talking about? Jenny was skeptical, she didn't believe everything I was saying.
"I don't believe it, how can there be such a thing in the sea, I think you are scared stupid." Li Xin said lukewarmly in the back, this woman is too cold, I don't bother to talk to her.
What the? Or am I scared silly? I really want to scold her a few words, I guess if she sees that thing, her soul will be scared, "Believe it or not, what I said is the truth, don't ask, this is the answer." "I didn't bother to explain, I talked too much as if I was making up nonsense.
Jenny looked at Mai Lao, hoping that this marine biologist could give an accurate answer, but unfortunately, this old guy also shook his head and sighed, and he didn't know what it was.
"Is it a human face flower?" Jiao Ba's words came suddenly.
"No, what kind of flowers?" I asked.
"According to what you described, I feel that what you encountered should be a human face flower." Jiao Ba said very seriously.
"Human-faced flowers?" There were ignorant expressions on the faces of several of us, I was so big, it was the first time I had heard of this kind of flower, what the fucking bullshit.
"Actually, I haven't seen this kind of flower, but I heard my grandfather talk about it, he said that when people are buried in the ground after death, they will absorb the essence of the earth and the power of moonlight, and after a hundred years, a bouquet of small flowers will grow in front of the grave, and this flower is the beginning of the human face flower." Jiao Ba continued to explain.
I thought about it carefully, what Jiao Ba said did make some sense, I had seen flowers blooming in front of the ancestral grave, but the flower was very small, "Old Ba, I have also seen what you said, but the flower is very small, not at all what I saw today." ”
"I just said, that's just the early stage of the human face flower, listen to my grandfather, this kind of thing is very evil, it is a kind of evil spirit, if you want it to grow, it is not enough to rely on the moonlight and the nutrients of the earth, but also rely on blood to feed, and every hundred years, can grow a stage, so if the human face flower wants to grow completely, it will take hundreds of years."
"And in these hundreds of years, there must be enough blood to feed it, before the human face flower grows, there is no harm, but once it grows, there will be a fatal danger, its appearance is no different from ordinary flowers, just relatively large, but the heart of the flower is a human face, the appearance of the human face, depends on the appearance of the dead person, what the person looks like after death, what the human face flower will grow into."
"But anyone who has been touched by it will almost definitely die, it will release a powerful toxin to suck the flesh and soul of humans, this is a very terrible creature, but also an abnormal creature, it belongs to the yin, but I haven't heard of the existence of such a creature at the bottom of the sea, which makes me a little puzzled." Jiao Ba frowned and said analytically.
"It's very simple, there are dead people on the bottom of the sea, since there are shipwrecks, then there will definitely be dead people, the Ming Dynasty is hundreds of years away from us, when people died and buried at the bottom of the sea, after hundreds of years, the so-called human face flowers will inevitably grow, the creatures of the sea are killed every day, there is no shortage of blood here, only one point, there is no moonlight on the bottom of the sea." I looked at Jiao Ba and said.
"Moonlight doesn't really matter, as long as there is blood and the essence of the earth, it is enough, it seems that the shipwreck should be not far away." Jiao Ba looked at everyone and said.
After listening to Jiao Ba's words, the big guys all looked at each other, and seemed to be a little skeptical of his words, but judging from the current situation, they don't have a better explanation, and they can only believe it temporarily, but I and Junzi are convinced, because I met, and Junzi completely believes me, and he knows that I don't need to lie at all.
Jenny also asked with some skepticism, "Jiao Ba, is what you said true?" ”
"I'm not sure, after all, I haven't seen the human face flower grow with my own eyes, this is all from my grandfather, but according to what Brother Yi said, 90% of it is this thing, I really didn't expect that such a difficult thing to encounter was let us touch." Jiao Ba said very casually.
"It's nonsense, it's pure alarmism." Li Xin suddenly came up with such a sentence again, this woman is really annoying sometimes, her appearance is obviously inversely proportional to her IQ, how many things in this world can't be explained by science, she has to turn this bull's horn.
"Is it alarmist, you will know later, eighth, no need to explain, let's go back and rest." I got up and was going back, but now that I was so tired that I wanted to get some rest.
After a few of us walked out of their lounge, Mai Lao suddenly grabbed me and said, "Zhongyi, I believe what you say, because when I went to sea before, I also encountered some things that science can't explain. ”
I nodded and smiled at him, and Mai Lao said, "Let's rest for two days first, and then go to the sea in two days, I also feel that the shipwreck is not far away." ”
Jiao Ba interjected and said, "It should be in the sea near the human face flower, not too far." ”
"When to go to the sea, just let me know, I have to rest, I'm sorry Mai Lao."
I didn't talk any more nonsense, I hurried back to the rest cabin to sleep, if I didn't rest I would fall apart, I lay on the bed, dazed and asleep, in my dreams, I dreamed of the horrible appearance of the human face flower, and the screams of the sunspot before he died
