Chapter 261: Strange Demons (I)

After Andy left, Xu Changqing and Gu Weijun also lost the mood of chatting, said goodbye to each other, made an appointment for another meeting, and then got up and left the hall. When those young students saw Gu Weijun standing up, they couldn't stay any longer, so they got up one after another and reluctantly followed out of the hall.

After leaving the hall, Xu Changqing did not immediately return to the room, but came to the deck at the bow of the ship. Compared to the noisy cabin, it is very quiet, and there are only a few couples snuggling up to each other, enjoying the cool sea breeze at night and listening to the waves around them, and the atmosphere is very romantic.

Xu Changqing walked to the side of a boat, leaned on it, closed his eyes slightly, held the holy relic cross in his hand, and stroked it gently, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, all the surrounding couples returned to the cabin, and Xu Changqing was the only one left on the deck, and he suddenly opened his mouth and said to the empty cable pier on the side: "You have been staring there for so long, isn't it too monotonous? Come and talk!"

The words fell, and there was no change in the surroundings, and the abnormal sound of the waves outside the boat slapping on the hull of the boat was like a mockery of Xu Changqing's abnormal behavior.

Xu Changqing frowned, and was about to cast a spell to pull out the peeping person, but soon his expression changed again, revealing a trace of surprise, and said to himself: "Hey, I actually escaped! And I escaped in my divine thoughts, which is really surprising." As he spoke, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and then his face became stern again, and he walked to the cable pier, leaned over and sniffed, and a trace of doubt flashed on his face: "The smell of sulfur?

Xu Changqing's brows tightened, and he felt a little puzzled by the things in front of him. Just after he had cast a spell on the foreigner, he felt that someone was paying attention to him, but he couldn't find where the man was, so he came to the deck alone to separate the man from the chaos of popularity. The stealthy snooper followed him to the deck as he wished, and as time went on, slowly approaching, finally stopping at a cable pier a foot away.

Originally, Xu Changqing thought that his strength would be enough to catch this snooper, but he didn't expect that the invisible snooper would suddenly disappear under his divine control. This disappearance is not the disappearance of extreme movement, but the disappearance that spreads out like a mist and eventually dissolves into a real invisible shadow. Although it was not known what the true strength of this snooper was, this ability to get rid of Xu Changqing's divine thoughts alone was enough for Xu Changqing to regard him as a fierce rival.

Since he couldn't find a clue, Xu Changqing had no interest in staying here, turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly the cross in his hand automatically flew out of his hand and landed on the cable pier. A faint white light from the cross swept over the surface of the pier, and then a sizzling sound was heard, and a puff of green smoke rose from the top of the pier, and the surroundings were instantly filled with a pungent smell, which gathered even under the blowing of the sea breeze.

Xu Changqing stepped forward, picked up the cross again, and looked at the cable pier again. I saw that the pig iron on the cable pier seemed to have been corroded by strong acid, and two footprints were formed, and these two footprints were not human footprints, they looked more like two big goat hooves, and there was a faint five-pointed star pattern in the middle of the hooves.

"It's them! I wonder if they're here specifically for me?" said to himself, with a disdainful smile on his face, and then turned away from the deck and back into the cabin.

What happened on deck went unnoticed until the next morning, when the Joan of Arc arrived at Lampung Port and the sailors came to untie the ropes, that the gravure on the cable piers was revealed. At that time, this incident caused a great sensation, and even invited a famous local priest, and when the priest saw this concave mark, his face suddenly lost blood, and he fainted to the ground, and when he woke up again, the whole person was already crazy, and he only kept muttering the name "Baphsm" in his mouth.

This incident caused a lot of commotion on the ship, and most foreigners who believe in Western religion clearly know what the name Baffu represents, which belongs to the most famous sheep-headed demon in the West. This gravure is weird enough, and coupled with the commotion at last night's ball, the passengers on board can't help but think that the ship is cursed by the devil, and they have asked for a refund, or to disembark early and wait for the next ship bound for Europe at the port of Lampung. The wave of refunds did not stop until the captain brought in several local priests from the port of Singapore, hundreds of miles away, to baptize the whole ship and exorcise evil spirits, and to ask them to take away the big-nosed foreigner and the women who had sex with him last night. Although the turmoil passed, in the end, more than half of the people got off the ship, most of them were passengers in the upper class, and the loss was self-evident.

Xu Changqing didn't want to know how the turmoil on the ship was going, and after the ship docked at the port, he got off the ship with Andy and entered the urban area of Lampung Port.

The Port of Lampung is one of the major ports in Southeast Asia, and most of the rubber and spices from the surrounding islands are concentrated in the Port of Lampung first, and then either transported to the Port of Singapore for transshipment or directly from there on large cargo ships. It is not only an important port for maritime trade, but also a famous holiday destination in Southeast Asia, with crystal clear waters, blue skies, and abundant sunshine.

The city of Lampung Port is very lively, no worse than the big counties in China, and a few towering stone buildings stand out among the large number of timber-framed houses, which are the offices of those trading companies. The city was divided into pieces like a cake by the crisscrossing roads, and the city streets were designed to be extra spacious when they were built to facilitate the passage of various carriages, even if six carriages ran side by side, there was still a lot of room for them. The port of Lampung now nominally belongs to the local governor, but in reality it is controlled by several large trading companies, which belong to the British, French, and Dutch.

After Xu Changqing and Andy got off the ship, they went directly to a Dutch trading company and applied for a certificate similar to a road guide to facilitate the passage of the two in the surrounding area. Recently, the area around Borneo has not been peaceful, and many local indigenous people have rebelled, which has caused panic among the colonists. From time to time, armed men can be seen on the streets, and the short, dark-skinned natives of Southeast Asia are the most severe.
