Chapter 19, Haunted by Nightmares
"What's that? Demon insect corpse? "Jiao Ba's words, I can't accept it for the time being, I'm so big, I've never heard of any demon insect corpses, I know that there are zombies and zombies in legends, this is still known from watching movies, what kind of ghost is this so-called demon insect corpse?
And it's not just me, when Jiao Ba's words were finished, almost everyone who sat down again was at a loss, except for Mai Lao, who didn't show any surprised looks, his face was calm, as if he was completely in his control, this old guy was sometimes difficult to figure out, I don't know if he really understands, or if he is pretending to be an old uncle.
Junzi was stunned and asked, "Old eight, what did you do with this demon insect corpse?" ”
"Damn, if you ask me, who do I, if I know how to do this, I won't have to go to sea with you to suffer." Jiao Ba replied to him angrily.
Jenny was beside her, and said with an embarrassed expression, "What is this?" Oh my God, since I went to sea, I haven't had a smooth time, why is there a demon insect corpse coming out again, Jiao Ba, you're not kidding, right? ”
Before Jiao Ba could speak, Mai Lao said, "This is not a joke, there was indeed this kind of thing in ancient times, in the early Ming Dynasty, many dignitaries died unexpectedly, and their families chose to use this method in order to preserve the youth of the deceased forever. ”
Originally, I wasn't so surprised, but after Old Man Mai finished speaking, I was really surprised, and I was surprised that this old guy actually understood this? How could this marine biologist know so much about this evil way?
Jiao Ba looked at Mai Lao with a very surprised look and said, "Mai Lao, do you know very well, what you said is also very right, the demon insect corpse has been handed down since the early Ming Dynasty, but I am very puzzled, few people know about the demon insect corpse, unless it is also a person who follows our crooked path, how do you know?" ”
Mai Lao chuckled and said, "I also saw it in a book. ”
"What book? I don't remember any books that write about this. Jiao Ba continued to get to the bottom of it, staring at Mai Lao with a pair of eyes.
Mai Lao said quietly, "I also forgot, I saw it a long time ago, if you hadn't mentioned it today, I wouldn't have thought of it." ”
After Jiao Ba heard this, he nodded with suspicious eyes, in fact, not only did he suspect, but I also suspected that this old guy actually understood this, which is really extraordinary.
But I want to know how terrifying this demon insect corpse is, and whether it can be a threat to our lives, "Old Ba, what kind of demon insect corpse you are talking about, what will happen if we overturn her coffin?" ”
Jiao Ba said nervously, "Hehe, I estimate that you will die very miserably, that thing is very evil, and the longer it is, the greater the energy, if it is a Ming Dynasty, you calculate, it has been six or seven hundred years since now, how much energy do you say this demon insect corpse has?" ”
", I want to know how capable she is, I still have to ask you? Hurry up, don't grind. "I'm a little out of breath, since Jiao Ba finished speaking, I always recall the way the female corpse opened her eyes in my mind, and it lingers, which makes me feel very irritable.
"Oh, my brother-in-law, are you using me as an encyclopedia? It's the first time I've come into contact with this thing, and I really don't know how powerful this thing is, but I've heard my grandfather say that the power of the demon insect corpse, even if it is a high-ranking monk, may not be able to surrender, and this thing itself is an evil body among evils, so I advise you to give up. Jiao Ba looked at me and said very casually.
"No, it's absolutely not okay to give up, Jiao Ba, since I'm looking for you, you have to find a way for me to solve this matter." Jenny had a cold face, and it seemed that she wanted to throw away the wreck, which was impossible.
Jiao Ba said helplessly, "Eldest sister, what can I do, I haven't touched that ghost thing, how do you let me deal with her?" ”
At this moment, I suddenly remembered and said, "Old Eight, what if we don't touch the coffin?" Just go directly to the sea to salvage the wreck, then you can have whatever you want in the coffin, let's just touch it, do you think it's feasible? ”
"This should work, right?" Jiao Ba was obviously unconfident in speaking this time, it seemed that he really didn't know much about this demon insect corpse.
Mai Lao suddenly said, "It's okay or not, it's going to be like this, don't move the coffin for the time being, and when the wreck is salvaged, it's not too late to open it again." ”
It seems that there is only this way, "When will you go down to salvage?" I asked.
"Let's do it tomorrow afternoon, everyone rest in the evening, Jiao Ba, you have to go to the sea with us tomorrow." Mai Lao directly made a final decision.
Jiao Ba said helplessly, "Huh? I have to go too? ”
", can you not go?" I gave the grandson a scoop, and we went back to our rest pod.
After a few of us returned to the rest warehouse, Junzi lay down and prepared to sleep, Jiao Ba went out, and this grandson didn't know where to run.
Gangzi asked me with a very dull face, "Brother Yi, do you think something will happen to the salvage tomorrow?" ”
I forced a smile and said, "Probably not, it's so easy to get into trouble." ”
"But as soon as I heard the demon insect corpse that Jiao Ba said, I was so nervous, I always felt that the woman's face appeared in front of my eyes, and I didn't have any bottom in my heart." Gangzi's appearance is very gentleman, an absolute gentleman, he has taken the lead in going to the sea several times, but I didn't expect that this kid was actually scared.
As soon as Junko heard this, a clever man also got up and said, "Yes, Brother Yi, I haven't been born since I went to sea, and now when I think of Kuroko's death, my heart trembles." ”
I patted them on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, don't worry about it, how can it be as scary as you say, Jiao Ba's grandson loves the whole thing, don't listen to his nonsense, it's not so scary, hurry up and go to sleep, Ming'er still has to work." "I didn't wait for them to speak, I went down first, in fact, I was trembling more than anyone else, but if I don't say much, how can this team be bringed, no way, just scalp.
At night, nightmares repeatedly, the female corpse in the coffin appeared in my dreams several times, I actually saw her smiling at me with her eyes open, but in an instant, she became a hideous face, in the dream, I knew I was dreaming, but I just couldn't wake up, no matter how I struggled, I couldn't get out of this dream.
I dreamed that a few of us went to the sea again, and when we were about to transport the coffin to the sea, the coffin lid suddenly exploded, and the female corpse slaughtered us like a ghost, and the whole seabed was covered with blood, and I was crazy to escape from here, but no matter how I swam, I never saw the sea, and the oxygen became less and less, and I felt like I was going to suffocate to death.
"Brother Yi, Brother Yi, what's wrong with you?" When I was dying, I heard my name being called again.
"Ah~~" I screamed, and finally woke up, I sat up suddenly, I found that I had been soaked in sweat, but in time, I didn't feel a little temperature, cold, very cold, it was the kind of cold from the heart out.
Junko sat on the edge of my bed and asked with a worried face, "Brother Yi, are you okay?" In the middle of the night, I saw you shivering all over, what's wrong? Are you sick? ”
I think he woke me up, and I shook my head and said, "It's nothing, you go to sleep, it's just a nightmare." ”
Junko nodded and said, "It's okay, call me if there's something." Junko turned around and went to sleep.
But this night, I couldn't sleep anymore, not that I didn't want to sleep, but I didn't dare to sleep, everything in the dream was too real, I lay on the bed, and had to rest in a daze
In the afternoon of the next day, we began to prepare to salvage the wreck, and under the overall command of Mr. Mai, we lined up the floating barrels one by one and put them into the sea, there could be about eight to ten, and after the floating barrels were put into the sea, we filled the floating barrels with seawater, so that the floating barrels sank one after another.
Jiao Ba and the other sailors changed into diving suits, this time all the staff must be dispatched, we connected the wire rope and rope buckle, this is ready to go into the water, the sun has set, although the sky is not completely dark, but the deep water must be dark again, Mai Lao suddenly said, "I hope it can be salvaged smoothly." ”
"Why do you say that?" I asked in confusion.
Jiao Ba moved his body and said, "You'll know in a while, let's go." After saying that, he jumped into the sea, this grandson, at all times, did not forget to be handsome, and we followed closely behind, all the way underwater.
