Chapter 50: The Seven Deadly Sins
On the surface of the Three Gorges, on the salvage boat, the third mate stood at the bow of the boat with an umbrella, silently looking into the sea.
Dark clouds covered the sky, and his vision was dim. Only when lightning strikes, a ray of light is drawn to sweep away the dullness caused by darkness.
"They're running out of oxygen." , the third pair lit a paper cigarette and took a deep breath: "Such a rainstorm weather will really make people feel a little shadowy in their hearts." ”
"I'm fine." Standing next to him was the second officer in a poncho, who never smoked, so he chose a more comfortable and simple poncho: "This type of salvage work, if it's in good weather, then I will have a shadow." ”
"Is it Greenland?" , the third mate glanced at the man beside him: "I remember that time you were just the chief mechanic on the ship, and you stayed in the cabin every day, what shadow do you have?" ”
The chief engineer is the ordinary crew member of the ship's engine department, and is responsible for organizing and arranging the mechanic on duty, as well as the cleaning and daily maintenance of the engine, furnace and pump room under the direct leadership of the large pipeline.
"It's because you can't see anything that there is a shadow." , the second officer lay on the railing of the salvage ship and sighed a long sigh: "Have you ever heard the whale song?" ”
"Yes." , Although I didn't know what the second mate meant, the third mate still nodded: "I used to run boats in the waters of eastern Australia some time ago, where there is a large whale population, with more than 10,000 humpback whales. ”
"How did you feel when you first heard it?" The second mate said as he glanced down at his watch.
It had been a full hour since Chen Wang and Jiu De Mai dived, and it stands to reason that their oxygen levels should have been exhausted.
"Desolate and mournful." , the third mate replied without hesitation.
"Yes." The second mate nodded: "If you hear a voice like this in the cabin, but you can't walk away because of the things in hand, you will only feel scared." ”
"Hell, what does this have to do with what we talked about earlier?" , the third pair looked a little confused.
"I mean, the time I was in Greenland, I heard the dragon's groan." , the second mate sighed and was about to spit a mouthful of water into the river, but found that ripples appeared on the surface of the water.
Countless bubbles rose from the bottom of the water, white smoke rose from the surface of the water, and the molten steel light flowed under the water, as if a volcano was about to erupt underwater.
The second mate's pupils shrank suddenly, and he ran to the captain's room with a rolling belt, and roared loudly: "Open the boat!" Left full rudder! I don't know what is coming up in the sea! ”
The three mates, who didn't react, stood by the railing in a daze.
He saw the river boiling, and the blazing white gas rose into the sky, making a thunderous sound.
The next moment, the surface of the river cracked, and hundreds of tons of hot sea water surged towards the sky, and then turned into droplets.
Water droplets sprinkled onto the pitch-black scales and quickly evaporated.
A huge, indescribable creature burst out of the water, looking up to the sky and making sounds that sounded like laughter and crying babies.
The unfinished paper cigarette in the hands of the three deputies fell.
But the behemoth didn't seem to mean to destroy the ship, and it floated silently by the side of the ship, bending its neck and bowing its head.
Two figures slowly walked down from its body, to be exact, it was Chen Wang who walked back to the boat from the dragon's head with Jiude Mai in his arms.
"Good afternoon, third mate." , Chen Wang put Jiude Mai on the ground, and then untied the bronze box tied behind his back and threw it on the deck, he smiled softly: "We managed to come back before the oxygen ran out." ”
The three of them didn't speak, and looked at Chen Wang's eyes as if they were looking at a monster that was more terrifying than the Dragon King.
Jiude Mai held two daggers and an arc-shaped long knife, and did not speak, the reason why Chen Wang walked down from the dragon with her just now was because Chen Wang took the initiative to ask in the process of floating, saying that "the appearance of a hero saving beauty can highlight his temperament when he returns from the dragon."
No one cheered for the return of such a pull, Chen Wang sighed lowly, stretched out his hand to the dragon, and waved it twice.
The huge black shadow let out a roar at the sky, and its long tail slammed into the river, cracking a crack in the water, and the dragon's head made a perfect arc in the dark clouds.
The surface of the water closed after a moment, leaving only a huge circle of ripples.
"Let's inspect the goods." , Jiude Mai quickly calmed down, and in the torrential rain, she took off her wetsuit directly without any scruples, revealing the swimsuit inside.
She is like a butterfly in spring, showing her beautiful figure in this world and world.
"Actually, I think it's better if you take off your wetsuit when you go in." , Chen Wang scratched his head: "Aren't the clothes inside you wet with the rain again?" ”
Jiude Mai was stunned for a moment, looking at Chen Wang's eyes as if she was looking at a mentally retarded person: "Is there any difference between a wet swimsuit and a non-wet swimsuit?" Are you going to wear it as underwear inside? ”
“......”
Chen Wang closed his mouth in a rare way and walked straight to the ship's room.
He deeply felt the gap between him and Mai Jiude, as a novice diver, for example, in the aspect of the wetsuit.
Mai Satoku wears a waterproof swimsuit underneath his wetsuit, and he wears a pair of Doraemon boxer briefs.
......
Chen Wang changed his outfit and met with Jiude Mai in the captain's room.
As soon as he entered, he heard a voice like chopping vegetables, and he frowned and saw that on the table in the captain's room, there was a 150 cm long two-handed blade.
The cutting edge has a graceful curve and is about a finger thick.
"The system is close to the Song Dynasty's horse chopping knife, and it is named because it is held in both hands, and the horse's head can be cut off with all its strength." , The wine in front of the captain's table turned her head and said expressionlessly to Chen Wang.
She was still wearing the swimsuit, and it seemed that she couldn't wait to come and inspect the goods.
"Your eyes seem to be wondering if this thing can cut off my head." , Chen Wang sighed, pulled over a chair and sat next to Jiude Mai, to be honest, he was not interested in this so-called "Seven Deadly Sins": "Is this thing genuine?" ”
All he had to do was make sure that this thing was genuine, and then hand it over to Lu Mingze.
"Yes."
Jiude Mai nodded: "Each handle has a different dragon inscription, the dragon text can't be deciphered, fortunately, in addition to the dragon text, there is also the ancient Hebrew text, which is likely to be the name of these seven weapons, which are arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust." ”
"It's the so-called 'seven deadly sins' in Christianity." Chen Wang nodded, "The Latin words are 'superbia', 'invidia', 'ira', 'accidia', 'avaritia', 'gula', and 'luxuria'. The combination is a medieval Latin word 'salogia'. ”
"As a science student, your liberal arts are very good." , Mai praised the wine.
"Nope." Chen Wang shook his head slowly: "When I was in high school, I studied the writing and interpretation of 'lust' in various languages, and I happened to see the 'seven deadly sins', so I memorized it. ”
"I see." Mai thoughtfully set her gaze on the shortest of the several weapons, which looked like a short knife: "It sounds like this 'lust' should be made for you. ”
