Section 97 Truth and Legend
In Zhang Tianbai's diary, there is actually very little about the part of Desperate Island. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Most of them are documenting his research process, after all, he just happened to bump into this sea trip.
As a well-known scientist, he naturally has a very adventurous spirit, and he happens to be qualified to participate in the new route plan.
It's a pity that he didn't know that there was a so-called expedition plan behind the scenes.
Therefore, in his diary, the most important record about this sea trip is how to escape from the hands of pirates, and the apocalyptic scene when thousands of monsters gush out of the bronze door.
This section of Desperate Island is really brought over in a few strokes.
The average person may not notice these words.
But Han Le instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Because of the second brain domain, his soul power is actually much higher than that of a normal musician, but he can't realize it for the time being.
The higher the soul power, the higher the occult perception - that is, the higher the so-called sixth sense, which is also something that has been proven by humans in related research.
He could sense that there was a lot of important information in this passage.
Maybe even Zhang Tianbai himself didn't notice it.
......
He stood on the dock, the rest of the diary continuing to flash through his mind.
In fact, Zhang Tianbai didn't write much about this, but only mentioned that because the Xinyuan sounded the alarm and stopped the ship urgently, the captain ordered everyone to take safety measures according to the highest threat level, so when they landed and went ashore on Desperate Island that night, they also carried important belongings ashore as much as possible. It's just that it turned out to be a false alarm, and everyone could only bring their things back on the ship with complaints.
The diary mentions that there is nothing wrong with the new Yuan after the restart, and the fault seems to be healed.
Everything seemed to be perfect until the bronze door was encountered.
The only thing he was a little puzzled about was that although he hadn't been at sea for a long time, he still clearly felt that the speed of the Xinyuan had become faster.
It's as if the ship has become lighter.
Of course, he was not an expert in navigation, and he had little interest in this area, so he ignored it.
If it weren't for the complaining complaints in the diary, Han Le probably wouldn't have been able to notice this detail.
"Inexplicably landed on the island, and also ordered everyone to bring their belongings. ”
"The seasickness of the collective crew, including the sailors, is the same...... As a result, I woke up when I got on the boat the next day. ”
"After the resumption of sailing, the speed of the ship becomes faster, and it is possible that the ship becomes lighter......"
These clues quickly flashed through Han Le's mind.
At this moment, even if he didn't play Detective Conan's war song, it was not difficult for him to guess the truth of the matter.
His gaze was fixed on the hidden dock where no one was in the middle of the night.
This pier can accommodate just two boats.
No more, no less, just two.
Thinking of this, Han Le couldn't help but jump onto the riverbed below.
By this time, the tide has risen and part of the riverbed has been moistened by seawater.
Everywhere Han Le's eyes could see, it was quiet and peaceful.
Suddenly, Ziluan let out a crisp roar.
In terms of perception, it is the desolate beast that is more sensitive.
It found a huge cave in a hidden spot not far away!
The cave was sealed with soft mud and quicksand, and the water usually rose because the water would enter through the gaps in the sand, so it would not be exposed.
The entrance to this cave is so large that if the riverbed below is deep enough, it can barely hide a boat!
Han Le's eyes lit up, and at the moment, regardless of whether the tide spread might fill the cave, he directly pushed away the soft mud at the entrance of the cave and looked inside.
It was pitch black.
But he could hear the sound of the air moving.
"Windy ......"
"The space of this underground cavern is bigger than I imagined!"
Han Le was overjoyed, looked at the tide, and estimated the time.
Within two hours, it shouldn't have spread here.
The speculation in his mind had proved that he was most likely close to the truth of the year.
At this moment, how could he choose to retreat?
He wanted to know what secrets were still on the original Xinyuan!
Han Le let Ziluan control the wind at the entrance of the cave, and he plunged headlong into the darkness!
......
In fact, from a long time ago, Han Le began to wonder.
The sinking coordinates of the Xinyuan are fixed.
He Qingzhi didn't die at the beginning, he returned to Dragon City alive, and died soon after.
In this time, he was enough to report to Dragon City on the whereabouts of the important ship laden with valuables.
And in the dossier files of Dragon City, the coordinates of the Xinyuan are indeed recorded.
Although it is very difficult to salvage a shipwreck in the deep sea, and the Xinyuan has also experienced the Battle of the Bronze Gate, the salvage plan organized by Dragon City is not fruitful!
Not even a bit of wreckage has been found, which is a bit unscientific.
Some gossip said that Dragon City actually found a wreck, but the material comparison between the wreck and the Xinyuan did not match at all.
Moreover, when the people of Dragon City found the ship, the ship was already in tatters, and there was no way to confirm that the ship was the Xinyuan.
And most importantly, they found only the dismantled ships, not the most important cargo. That's why they can conclude that the ship is not the Xinyuan.
If these news are true, then where did the real Xinyuan go?
Han Le was slowly advancing in the cave, and at this moment, his mood was very excited.
This feeling of solving historical mysteries is always refreshing.
If he guessed correctly, the "Xinyuan" that sank at the beginning was not the voyage sailing ship that set off from Seaside Town at all!
On Desperate Island, that ship was dropped!
Right in plain sight!
Just under the seasickness of everyone!
Two ships that are almost identical in appearance, but are actually of fundamentally different materials, have been blatantly dropped!
"He Qingzhi is one of the people who started the expedition, so it is reasonable that he cannot know the danger of the Bronze Gate. is as strong as Yu Baiyi, he is entangled in Konghou, he will definitely be mentally prepared. So it is impossible for him to face the appearance of the bronze gate with the real new Yuan. ”
Zhang Tianbai felt that the Xinyuan had become much faster after restarting, but in fact, the ship had been dropped. ”
"At the beginning, there were many laymen on the Xinyuan, and it was good to be able to maintain their own condition in a situation similar to seasickness, and it was impossible to distinguish two ships that were almost identical. ”
"And those who know the inside story, such as experienced sailors, are mostly silenced. ”
"He Qingzhi didn't tell Long Cheng the news, did he want to hide his smuggling? The Xinyuan not only carried a huge amount of wealth, but also treasures that were said to be able to resist the evil power of the bronze gate, and even Ah Qing also mentioned that there was a key to open the bronze door on that ship. He chose to hide such important news before he died, what was it for?"
Mystery after mystery flashed through Han Le's mind.
In his hand, a folded rod of flame appeared.
Like man-made campfires, this flame rod is not really a flame, but a very useful lighting tool for field adventures.
The cave was deep, and he walked very fast, down at first, and the dirt beneath his feet was soft.
But soon, he began to climb noticeably.
The land has also changed from wet silt to hard rock.
This underground space is very large, as long as there is enough seawater, it can definitely be accompanied by a sailboat of the level of the Xinyuan.
Judging by the condition of the cave, this cave was not excavated by man, but was formed naturally.
"This kind of natural cave is rare, after all, this is a deep-sea island, He Qingzhi and others must have spent a lot of effort to find such a cave to hide people's eyes and ears, right?"
The scenery in the underground cave was amazing to Han Le.
In the distance, a pitch-black silhouette appeared.
Han Le threw a simple flare over.
In an instant, the entire underground cavern was illuminated by white light!
At that moment, at the first glance, he saw a prominent structure!
That's the keel of the ship!
"Sure enough, it's the new Yuan!"
"The real New Ao!"
Han Le clenched his fists excitedly!
However, in the next second, when his gaze scanned other places, a cold current surged in his heart!
......
On the Firebird, on the dreary deck.
The sailors on duty watched vigilantly around the situation, and the lookouts hung on the masts all night to prevent other ships from approaching.
An old sailor was telling a story to relieve his fatigue, and it happened that even the after-drinking shop who came out to go to the toilet was also attracted to it.
Three or five people gathered in the firelight, and the old sailor's voice was low and hoarse, and the story told was like a real story:
"This story is a legend, but in fact, I personally feel that it is a true historical story. ”
"Do you know about merfolk?"
"A long, long time ago, when humans first came out of the shelter, our ancestors were fishing in the East China Sea, and they met a mermaid, a creature that had an upper body similar to that of us humans, but a fish's tail on the lower body. They have their own language, most of the merfolk are vicious and anomalous, and they fight the wild beasts of the sea in exchange for their own living space. ”
"The contact between the merfolk and the humans began with a war and ended with a catastrophe. I didn't really know what happened at first, but I also heard an old man say that seventy or eighty years ago, fishermen who went out to fish near the Upper East China Sea could often see mermaids. Merfolk occasionally do business with humans, mostly unrelated, before the relationship eases somewhat. ”
"Some humans who have befriended merfolk have even been invited to visit the mermaid's lair in the deep sea...... Of course, many people say that those people never came back. They may have been mermaids...... Eaten!"
At this point, the old sailor's voice suddenly rose an octave.
Everyone else couldn't help but shudder. It's as if the legendary mermaid is right in front of them.
"Less bragging. A young man was unconvinced and said, "If there were mermaids, why wouldn't we see them now?"
The old sailor said quietly:
"Because according to legend, the mermaid tribe of the East China Sea was sacrificed alive by a human powerhouse. ”
