Chapter 17: Choices
Stayed in the cab for a while.
Yan Jing saw many people approaching the stern of the boat.
Standing behind the wheelhouse door and looking at the stern of the boat, it seemed as if something had been fished out of the sea, and then the crowd was a little noisy, and some of them retreated and whispered to each other.
It wasn't until Uncle Zheng shouted a few words that he stabilized.
What's going on out there?
It didn't take long for the whole ship to suddenly stall.
The hull of the ship, submerged in the wind and rain, stopped moving, and then the city rose and fell in the increasingly frantic wind and waves.
Soon a crew member came over to inform the two people in the wheelhouse,
"The propeller at the stern of the ship got stuck in something and broke down, we can't go anywhere else tonight, the captain said stop the ship first and sort out the cargo on the deck."
"Understood."
Lao Du stopped the boat with a familiar car, and then whispered again,
"What a fucking evil door, first caught a little devil, and the boat stopped again...... Nothing will happen, right? ”
"What's the catch?"
Yan Jing on the side didn't hear clearly, and couldn't help but ask.
"Corpse, a corpse of a little devil with ancient armor on the outside, you just stay here, don't ask more, when the time comes, I have to take care of you, Lao Tzu doesn't have so much leisure."
Explaining casually, Lao Du obviously didn't look down on Yan Jing a little, and he didn't want to say much.
However, before the matter outside could be resolved, several crew members who were on their way to the deck to carry cargo suddenly screamed.
Yan Jing, who was already a little sensitive, hurriedly got up, and saw a large area of dark green seaweed crawling up along the side of the boat, hooking up into a net with each other, and the other end was submerged in the seawater, and along with these seaweeds, there were terrifying corpses clinging to it!
Dressed in tattered nails full of holes, they either carried long, rusty knives in their hands, or they were simply empty-handed, but with a mouth full of shark-like triangular teeth, they rushed towards the crew on deck.
"Monster! There are monsters! ”
Yan Jing couldn't help but exclaim, his heart was beating extremely fast, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
He saw Uncle Zheng holding a harpoon in his hand and leading the team to entangle with the monsters, at first he still had a slight upper hand, but the rattan nets on both sides of the ship still had a steady stream of corpses climbing up.
Soon some of the crew members were thrown to the ground, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
In the final analysis, everyone is just an ordinary person working at sea, and although Captain Zheng is tough, he is not young, and it is obviously impossible to take care of all aspects.
Seeing that the situation was about to collapse, Yan Jing only heard someone shouting outside,
"Oil! Get the oil out at once, we're going to have to burn these rattan nets!"
If he remembered correctly, there were two barrels of oil on the right side of the cab, and when he looked up, he saw two stacks of red fuel tanks stacked together.
"Uncle Du, let's hurry up and send the fuel tank out to them, it's almost impossible to hold it outside......"
Yan Jing subconsciously got up, but stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, because he saw that Uncle Du beside him had already left his position, and pulled out a string of familiar keys from the cabinet next to him.
That seemed to be the key to the escape speedboat.
The wind and rain outside the wheelhouse suddenly rose sharply, the wind and rain beat against the windows, and the shouts on the deck became more and more urgent, mixed with a few screams of the crew and the sound of falling into the water.
"Boy, don't blame me for not reminding you, you won't be able to hold it outside, now follow me, with people on the deck dragging us, we should be able to escape smoothly, staying here can only become food for those monsters outside."
Lao Du walked to the door of the cabin and shook the key in his hand, which was the hope of escape.
The oil drums needed by the crew on deck were in the corner behind Yan Jing.
Go ahead and abandon ship to escape.
Go backwards and lift oil to save people.
After a short silence, Yan Jing suddenly got up and took a few steps forward with a pale face.
Lao Du leaned against the door frame, still shaking the key in his hand, but his eyes were indifferent.
But in the next second, Yan Jing grabbed the key in Lao Du's hand, and before the latter could speak, he saw him throw the key directly to the deck.
"Are you crazy, how can you escape without a key?"
"Uncle Du, I think it's just the two of us, we can't even drive that speedboat, it's better to go down and fight with Uncle Zheng and them, it's really not good, how about we escape again?"
Turning around and grabbing a bucket of oil, Yan Jing's lips trembled, and he couldn't say anything, but he hugged the oil barrel tightly in his arms, rushed out with his head stuffy, and at the same time did not forget to remind Lao Du,
"There's still a barrel of oil left, and you're going to go down anyway, why don't you carry a barrel too?"
The moment he stepped out of the door, Yan Jing's figure froze, and his eyes suddenly became clear.
There was also a smile on his face.
On the premise of not changing the course of things, he is disturbed by the seven emotions and six desires, and faces the choice in another state.
This is the test of Hades.
Yan Jing undoubtedly made the right choice, and this was just the beginning.
The moment he returned to his senses, the cockpit behind him was like an oil painting soaked in water, dissolving into a chaotic mass of colors.
The wind and rain outside suddenly stopped, and in its place a ray of sunlight fell from the sky.
A large area of trees rose from Yan Jing's side, and in a short time it formed a dense forest and dozens of martial arts warriors in different costumes, scattered and ambushed.
Yan Jing was in the middle of it, and everything he had just experienced seemed to have been completely forgotten.
I only heard someone shouting in the woods,
"The sound of horses' hooves is very close, at most a small half column of incense, everyone prepares their own!"
That's right, this is exactly the scene at the beginning of the first solo otherworldly event that Yan Jing experienced.
The scenes of Hades are all from the memories of those who are tested.
Only in this way can the truest thoughts and emotions in their hearts be stimulated.
This time, Yan Jing had to choose whether to save people from the iron hooves of the Demon Rider while he might lose one of his arms, or to let his companions be trampled to death by the Demon Rider in order to save his arms.
Not surprisingly, the choice was right.
You must know that the Hades Mansion has set up this knock heart level to test a person who is about to become a gold medal patrol, which means that the level will be biased towards the duties of the patrol without exception.
I just met Yan Jing as an exception!
As a tested person who mixed in, Yan Jing should have been in a dilemma in the face of these trials, but even Hades would not have thought that he would appear here at this time as a person who had been constantly being tested since he became an apostle of the remnant.
These choices were too pediatric for Yan Jing.
It would be difficult for a person who was able to achieve the lowest settlement rating in each event or conscription mission released by the Torch to be a bit difficult to overturn in such a test for the Patrol.
Even at the beginning of each test, Yan Jing would lose his memory.
Something in his soul will still make him instinctively make the right choice.
Therefore, while Bai Ruosu was struggling in the environment, Yan Jing had already finished knocking on his heart ahead of schedule and embarked on the path of reincarnation.
This time.
Yan Jing's memories were not erased.
After a brief moment of drowsiness, the darkness around him gradually dissipated.
In its place, a remnant sun hung high in the sky.
At the foot is a winding mountain road, and on the right is a steep mountain wall, and you can see a group of Shangqing Taoist priests who are trekking hard ahead.
It's still the scene from the first otherworldly event.
A terrible scream came from the bottom of the cliff on the left, and Yan Jing, who had just remembered the origin of this scene, moved his steps and looked in the direction where the sound came from below the cliff.
In my memory, it should be a deep and dense forest, but when I looked down at this time, I saw an extremely miserable scene.
In the chaotic mountains, hundreds of naked men and women are being chased and trampled by evil spirits.
Every time they caught a man, the demons would manifest a pair of red-hot iron tongs, forcibly pry their mouths open, and then put the pliers into them, pulling out their tongues.
Blood and water mixed with minced flesh sprayed out, and the screams were incessant.
The scarlet blood light even overshadowed the orange afterglow of the sunset.
This is...... Tongue Pulling Hell!
Last night, in order to cope with the test of becoming a gold medal patrol, Bai Ruosu consulted a lot of information, and Yan Jing also saw a lot of it while standing on the side.
Supposedly, this tongue-pulling hell is supposed to be aimed at the kind of people who lie and deceive people, how can it be here?
Just as Yan Jing was pondering, someone's voice suddenly came from behind him,
"In Xia Qinghong Sword, Gu Qianfang, who lives in Gujiazhuang, Yingshan County, after I die, bring my sword back."
Looking sideways, Yan Jing saw the man talking.
His clothes were stained with blood and dust, his hair was scattered over his shoulders, and his face was full of tiredness and stoicism.
There was also a tall bald man beside him, with a ring scar on his head, holding an iron rod in his hand, with a smile on his mouth, but his eyes were crimson.
"Hu Fei, Tianlan City, Ping'an Hutong, after I die, just send a letter to my mother."
Several people also reported their names and addresses......
The moment you see them.
Yan Jing was stunned for a moment, and then his expression suddenly became heavy.
According to the agreement between them, Yan Jing, as the last survivor, should bring their bones back to their respective hometowns for burial.
He didn't live up to his promises, and even what he said at the beginning was an improvised lie.
Footsteps stopped, Yan Jing looked at the righteous men in front of him, who were full of wind and frost, but desperately followed the team for the righteousness in their hearts, and finally fell on the way.
He wanted to say that he had finally completed his mission.
not only destroyed that obscure thing, but also succeeded in killing Luo Yan and avenging everyone.
But when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't open his mouth.
Suddenly, he raised his hands and clenched his fists in front of his chest, Yan Jing spoke in a deep voice,
"In Xia Yanjing, my family lives in the Luojiang Mountains, on the face of the Luofeng River, because I was in another world, I deceived all the righteous people, and failed to fulfill the promise between us, and I am willing to be punished by pulling out my tongue."
If you don't do it, you don't do it, and a lie is a lie!
As the words fell, Yan Jingjing opened his mouth and spit out his tongue.
The few people in front of him suddenly turned into hideous ghosts, and stepped forward with red iron tongs in their hands, and they were about to punish him!
Yan Jing just closed his eyes, his expression extremely calm.
However, after waiting for a long time, the tongue was not harmed in any way.
Open your eyes again.
What I saw was a group of heroic heroes who looked at themselves with a smile and left with their fists clenched.
