Chapter 26, The Strange Man in Black

The sailors are tired, this is really a large-scale operation, the big guys are resting on the deck, the diving suits are all off, Mai Lao suggested that we take inventory of the salvaged things tomorrow, today first rest for one night, after we have dinner, we will go back to the rest room to rest, during this time the big guys are very tired, lying on the bed, I also fell asleep in a daze.

At midnight, I woke up suddenly, this is a habit I have developed in the army for many years, I can control the time of my sleep, tonight, I am going to open the coffin in the wreck to find out, I waited for a few seconds, except for the sound of snoring, I can't hear any other sounds in the rest room, it was quiet, I slowly sat up and got out of bed, glanced at it, Shunzi and Jiao Ba they were sleeping very comfortably.

I got dressed, quietly opened the hatch, and crept out, the wreck was parked near our fishing boat, and although it had been salvaged, part of the hull was still submerged under the water, and I came to the deck just as I was about to leave.

Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out of the window on the other side of the cabin, this black shadow jumped directly into the sea, with lightning speed, quickly swam in the direction of the sunken ship, this person is very skilled in water, the speed is quite fast, just like a fish in the sea.

I was shocked, who could it be in the middle of the night? I didn't have time to think about it, so I went over and took a look first, so as not to attract the attention of the other party, I put down the lifeladder and slid all the way into the sea, if I jumped directly into the sea, the other party would definitely be heard.

The midnight sea seemed extra quiet, and by the moonlight, I saw that the tattered wreck was swaying and stopping not far in front of me, and the moonlight reflected on the wreck, making the already very strange wreck even more evil and terrifying, just like the legendary ghost ship, which made people look hairy.

I was a little retreating in my heart, when I thought of the female corpse in the coffin, my back was whistling with a cool breeze, the sea water seemed to be getting cold, I shivered coldly, but when I remembered the black shadow that just came out, my spirit came again, I had to go over to see what was going on, I marched all the way quickly, trying to control the sound of water in the smallest range.

The wreck is getting closer and closer to me, a minute or so, I reached the tail of the wreck, I grabbed the side of the ship, and climbed up softly, the black shadow can no longer be seen, but I know very well in my heart, the black shadow must still be on the sunken ship, who will it be? What is the purpose of his here? Mysteries remain in my mind, and I'm a little confused.

Could it be that there are people who, like me, want to open that coffin? Or is there some little-known secret hidden in that coffin? Looks like there's going to be some takeaways tonight.

I leaned against the hull of the ship, like a thief, and walked softly to the deck, and from time to time I looked left and right, for fear of attracting the attention of the black shadow, and just as I was about to reach the deck, I accidentally saw by the moonlight that in the sea not far in front of me, there was a figure swimming, and it was obvious that this man was also running for the sunken ship.

What's going on here? How can there be someone, originally I thought that tonight would be my own 'activity', it seems that I misestimated, it turns out that everyone is different, I decided to see who this person is first, I quietly hid next to the deck, patiently waiting for this person to appear.

After a while, there was a little movement next to the wreck, and a black shadow climbed onto the wreck in embarrassment, although the action was not very skillful, but it could be seen that there were two clicks, this person looked left and right, as if he was looking for something, and then quietly walked towards the hatch of the ship on the deck.

I hid in the darkest corner of the shipwreck, I was sure he couldn't see me, but I could see his every move very clearly, except for one thing I couldn't see, which was his appearance, but I was a little familiar with this person, as if he was someone next to me.

Little by little, I moved to his side, just as he was about to enter the cabin, I slammed his hand behind him, I strangled his neck with one arm, and blocked his mouth with the other hand, this person instinctively screamed twice with his nose, stretched out his hands and wanted to grab my head, I retreated, my arm was slightly forced, and this person suddenly lost the ability to resist.

He hurriedly grabbed my arm with both hands, trying to resist desperately, I was going to faint him, but I looked down, and then I saw clearly who he was, this person was actually Jiao Ba, the moonlight reflected on his face, I saw it very clearly, but I also knew in my heart that I was lowering my head now, he couldn't see me at all, except for a black dragon Kuo, he couldn't see anything.

I hurriedly lowered my voice and said in his ear, "Shh~~ Don't speak, it's me." ”

After I finished speaking, Jiao Ba really stopped struggling, I slowly let go of him, Jiao Ba's face was red from my strangulation, he just wanted to cough, I blocked his mouth again, "Don't make a sound, there are people here." "I turned my voice to the lowest level while my ears listened to the sounds nearby.

Jiao Ba nodded vigorously, and then I let go of my hand, he gasped and asked in my ear, "Why do you think of this?" ”

I glared at him and growled, "Fuck, I was about to ask you, how did you get here?" ”

Jiao Ba said softly, "I saw you coming, so I came to take a look, I'm afraid something will happen to you, Brother Yi, do you want to open the coffin?" "My every move is very clear, Jiao Ba is very clear, this grandson really has two hits, he is worthy of being a tomb robber, I didn't even notice that he was following me.

I didn't hide it at all, "Well, I'm going to come and see what happened, you kid, when will you follow me?" ”

Jiao Ba Thief laughed and said softly, "Hehe, I didn't sleep at all, I knew you couldn't bear it, but I still advised you Brother Yi, it's best not to hit that coffin." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, it's all here, and it's not just me, it's everyone else." I whispered something in his ear.

"Who else?" Jiao Ba showed a look of surprise.

I don't have time to talk nonsense with him, I need to hurry up and see who the other dark shadow is, I shook my head, "You'll know when you go in, keep up." ”

The two of us quietly walked into the cabin, there was still a lot of seawater in the cabin, it had not passed my knees, the whole wreck was dead silent, neither of us had any lighting tools, the moonlight outside could not shine in, the aisle of the cabin was extremely dark, I couldn't see anything, it was similar to the legendary ghost gate, I was a little cautious, and I could even feel my heartbeat accelerating significantly.

Jiao Ba followed closely behind me, and the two of us walked forward step by step, the pace was very slow, very slow, there was sea water under our feet, once we walked fast, the sound of sea water flowing would attract attention, and the two of us almost dragged forward on two legs.

The purpose of my visit was very simple, that is, to find the coffin, so I didn't look at the other cabins at all, and I knew in my heart that the man in black was also coming for the coffin female corpse, because we had carefully inspected the other cabins, and only this one was left, and when we were about halfway there, I could vaguely see a faint light ahead.

Jiao Ba touched me, stretched out his finger and pointed ahead, I nodded, the two of us stuck to the side of the boat, all the way forward, the light got closer and closer, sure enough, the light came from the last cabin, it was the cabin containing the coffin, the fear in my heart disappeared all at once, and the rest was excitement.

Jiao Ba and I quietly came to the hatch of the ship, I vaguely heard movement inside, I bent my waist, and looked inside in my most hidden way, as I expected, next to the coffin, there was really a person, this person was holding a flashlight in his hand, was checking around the coffin, and one hand was touching the coffin.

I seem to know the figure of this person, but the memory is very vague, I feel that he seems to have a mysterious color, and the most incomprehensible thing is that he actually wore a black night clothes, which is the kind of clothes used by ancient knights, the most popular and Ming and Qing dynasties, the head is a black cloth, and the face is also a black cloth, which really surprised me, just ask today's modern people, who would be bored to play this kind of trick? Who the hell is this person? I really can't think of it
