The Watch of the Long Night Chapter 178: The Secret of the Ghost Ship
In the history of navigation with magnificent waves and fighting the vicissitudes of the sea, there has never been a shortage of heroic epic voyages that swallow mountains and rivers, and there has never been a shortage of tragic and tragic shipwrecks in the world. Some shipwrecks are caused by natural disasters, such as tsunamis, icebergs or reefs, while others are caused by man-made disasters, such as scurvy from not being able to eat vegetables, or ammunition depots under the kitchen......
But among the various strange distress postures, there is one that is the most bizarre. Its shadow has been hanging over the heads of all voyagers from the Age of Discovery to modern times and even modern times...... It's the ghost ship phenomenon!
In the vastness of the sea, voyagers would find a kind of ship every now and then: it looked normal, but all the people on board were gone. All the daily necessities and valuable cargo on board are in perfect condition and well organized. There are even traces of crew members still working and relaxing, eating and defecating until a certain time.
But death suddenly came, and the crew seemed to suddenly evaporate, leaving only a dead empty ship. The occasional ghost ship that can leave corpses as clues is a ghostly sight! The corpses are generally of unknown causes, and their deaths are distorted and extremely terrifying! Not one of the survivors in ten thousand has also gone crazy and is completely unable to communicate. At most, some domestic animals and pets with green eyes are left hungry......
Like lonely ghosts, these ghost ships drift aimlessly in the vast and mysterious ocean until they sink in obscurity with all their secrets. Or it can be discovered by other ships before it sinks, leaving behind even more surprising mysteries.
Coincidentally, Greece in the West and China in the East have a similar set of legends about ghost ships. That is, there is a kind of kraken on the sea that can tempt sailors with beautiful songs, make them jump into the sea, and make ships touch the rocks. In Greece, they were called sirens. In China, they are called mermaids. In the imagination of modern people, they have become mermaids......
And now, the luxury passenger ship that travels between Swim Trunk Island and Kai Island is rapidly developing into the most intuitive type of horror in ghost ships. At this moment, most of the people on the ship have died inexplicably, and only some people with slightly stronger physique are still convulsing and struggling.
In the small conference room, several mind cultivators who had been summoned by Minister Wade Habsburg were struggling to hold on, or at least it seemed.
Professor Cesar's pale lips trembled as he recovered from his injuries as he harnessed the Sages of Creation's ability to control matter to solidify the air around him while protecting himself and Sino-Julius. This work, which was supposed to be easy and enjoyable for the sages, seemed very laborious under some kind of great high-energy threat. But even so, Professor Cesar glared at Wade on the side. The look that almost kills, as if the latter had just released 12 stinky farts in a row in this confined space.
"Dear Cesar, if memory serves, it is timely for you to be reminded to do your best to solidify the air. You don't recognize it, but why should you glare at the contemptible ones?" said the Inspector General politely. He also solidified the air around him to protect himself and Diego Mussolini, but he was clearly more at ease, because he even had the energy to sip a cup of tea.
"Your acting skills are too bad!" Professor Cesar said through gritted teeth, "I'm also a university professor after all, and although I'm not good at physics, I still recognize infrasound!"
"Ahem, ahem!" Wade choked on a sip of tea at the sudden title of "Boshen", then raised his head and said angrily, "I said! Even if 'Boshen' is the title given by the headmaster himself, I refuse to accept it! Call me 'Sonic Family'!" After speaking, the double gong on his back shook in response, as if to make a footnote to it.
Professor Cesar, who poked Wade's sore foot, pointed to the core of the problem and said: "Whether you are a 'wave god' or a 'sonic man', I have reason to suspect that the situation of suddenly encountering high-energy infrasonic waves now has something to do with you!"
"Oh, according to what you say, Benjamin Franklin is to blame for a man being killed by lightning, and Isaac Newton is to blame for a man to be killed by thunder?" Minister Wade sneered, "When a storm of great energy rubs against the ocean, if it happens to produce vibrations with a frequency of 3 to 17 hertz, it will produce infrasound waves that can resonate with the internal organs of the human body with sufficient strength to cause death." It's just an unfortunate coincidence!"
"Yes, of course you won't admit it! You will admit that you are too weak to rescue Hao Song and Edward. Professor Cesar laughed sadly, "Heh... Hehehe... What a big deal! What a great majesty! In order to kill two criminals, the Habsburgs were so mad that they dragged a whole boatload of people to accompany them to the funeral!"
"I'm sorry for not being able to rescue my two dear students. It was a sad coincidence, but it was a defense of the majesty of the Habsburgs! They deserved to die!" Minister Wade's eyes burned with frenzy and excitement, almost half-acknowledging this bloody and crazy act of prestige.
In fact, Professor Cesar, Snow, Diego, and even Hao Song himself had a hunch that the disappearance of Zad Habsburg and the death of Suan Scipio would cause Habsburg and Scipio to take revenge in a violent storm, and the first to bear the brunt of the battle between Hao Song and Edward, who directly fought with them. But no one expected that the Habsburgs would dare to bypass the Night's Watch organization, omit the process of investigation and trial, and blatantly take direct action!
There is no need for an investigation, no need for a trial, just let us know that you are directly related to the matter, die!!
What arrogance this is! What arrogance this is! This is the hideous features of the powerful and powerful Habsburg family! The Habsburgs, who have been noble for hundreds of years, regard other human beings as pariahs, and only other families of the Night's Watch can barely make them face it. The identity of the bloodline and the style of extreme calf protection form an extreme cohesion, which is the secret of the old Habsburg family to this day!
Of course, this retaliation may seem unscrupulous, but it is still unassailable. First of all, Wade did not leave any evidence of his attack, and even the three people present will become his witnesses! Second, this Liwei operation did not cause substantial harm to the other mind cultivators on the ship, so the Mussolini family and the Julius family would not run to dismantle the stage for the life and death of the two criminals. And thirdly, and most importantly, the president of the Night's Watch, who was most feared by the Habsburgs, whose power was unfathomable and unthinkable, was still in seclusion......
The architect of such a bloodthirsty and crazy but cold and rational plan of action was actually the newly appointed head of the Marshallese headquarters Double-headed Eagle Castle, Gerard Habsburg Jr. Compared with the rough and bold style of the original director Zade, the little Gerald, who is as efficient as a cold machine, is obviously a more formidable opponent.
Even though Professor Cesar believed that Hao Song and Edward were doomed, both in words and thoughts, he managed to keep the air solid and walked out of the room. Just as an ordinary person can easily hold his breath for a minute, but it is difficult to hold his breath for 20 seconds while walking, maintaining the solidification of air and moving at the same time is a huge drain on Professor Cesar's mental energy level and physical energy. However, he still wanted to check on Hao Song and Edward as soon as possible, even if it was likely to be in vain.
Wade Habsburg followed unhurriedly. However, he was confident and convinced that Hao Song and Edward would die. Because he knew that in addition to infrasound, just in case and confusing the public, Gerald Jr.'s plan also prepared a trump card to cut the grass and get rid of suspicion......
At this time, in a luxurious big bed room, a big cat with a length of more than two meters and blue and purple fur like satin was lying on the big bed. Faintly visible beneath it, Edward Mierlo, unconscious, lying face down on the comfortable and soft mattress and quilt, looked as if he had been cat-sunned.
On the carpet on the side, Hao Song sat cross-legged, trembling all over, nosebleeds, at first glance, I thought that this thing was too exciting to see the live version of the beast XX and had a nosebleed.
"I said Uncle Cat, you are old ...... Are you sure that in this case...... 'Tiger Skin Egg' can be activated passively?" Hao Song squeezed out this passage from between his teeth. Now he felt as disgusting as listening to Wolverine scratch the blackboard with his paws while riding a roller coaster with a pendulum. "Why don't you incubate me to block the infrasound waves?"
"Hatch your big-headed ghost meow? Do you think this king is a hen!?In order to help you kid protect this golden retriever, do you know how much energy this king wasted to become this big meow?"
"It's never more than that lump of nuclear fuel vomit... Hmm..."Hao Song muttered halfway and then shut up, because he suddenly felt a twitch in his brain, well, strictly speaking, the "tiger skin egg" in his mind, and suddenly began to operate!
"Oh ho ho ......" The bad feeling that was originally like soaking in an electrified acid solution gradually became comfortable, just like soaking in a hot spring in winter, Hao Song was so refreshed that he couldn't help but moan.
The last time the "Tiger Skin Egg" transformed a single and huge amount of energy into a chaotic and weak energy, Hao Song was in a coma, and his proprioception was basically zero. And this time, in his waking state, he was amazed to feel that the "tiger skin egg" weakened the unbearable infrasonic energy into other energies such as heat, high pressure, magnetic field, electricity, and radiation that he could bear.
Hao Song hurriedly seized the opportunity to use idealism and various subtle energies to repair the internal organs that were injured by infrasound waves in the state of inner vision, and the excess energy was used to activate the sleeping genes. So the infrasound, which was regarded as the god of death by others, became the "Ten Perfect Tonic Pills" here in Hao Song. But at the cost of the "tiger skin egg" becoming even more bleak, almost like a lump of soot.
Hao Song, who was very comfortable, noticed his lungs and stomach again under his inner vision, and the red and black dots that he had ignored in the nuclear energy quiet room last time had gradually begun to connect!
"What the hell is this!? Even if I bring my own mosaic, it should be on the reproductive system, huh?"
But the situation changed again, so that he didn't have time to think about it.
"There's some kind of upright creature approaching!" Pixiu in the big cat state prompted, its glass-colored eyes flowing and spinning like lava, and its vertical pupils glittering with incandescent fire.
"It should be Cesar who teaches them, you quickly change back. Hao Song whispered with joy and surprise.
"Not really. The king's dull sense of smell smelled the smell of dried fish that had not been seen for a long time!"
