The blue sea is covered in silver with a crescent moon, and a few seabirds fall from the sky and rest on the mast of a sailboat to quietly comb their feathers.

It was a small dhow, no more than 8 meters long, and it was empty.

But the strange thing is that there are a series of sighs from this ship where there is no human figure in sight.

"Alas, it's been a few days and I haven't seen anything."

"Can anyone tell me what the hell this is?"

With the sound, thousands of rays of light converged like stars, condensing on the deck into a boy with the appearance of seven or eight years old.

His name is Hades, or the ship is called Hades, and he is the ship's spirit.

Hades was at first uncomfortable with the idea of being transformed from a man into a ship, until he wandered the sea for days without seeing food or fresh water, and he began to rejoice that at least as a ship, he would not starve to death.

Then there is the question of crossing, and he wonders if he has run into a game, because as he becomes a ship, he also gets a system called the [Boat Spirit System].

Unfolding the system interface, his name, structure and information are clearly recorded.

[Ship name (ship spirit name): Hades]

[Full length: 800cm]

[Height: 700cm]

[Structure: keel; Hull; Deck; Mast; helm room; Warehouse; 】

[Detailed description: This is a small wooden dhow, both in appearance and structure, it has no characteristics, but because of special influences, it gave birth to self-consciousness, which is commonly known as the ship spirit in the outside world.] 】

Skip the [Basic Screen] and go to [Build Options].

This function is very similar to the game, Hades can freely modify the ship through the collected materials, and if the materials on hand are insufficient, you can also buy them from the system by exchanging gold coins, of course, the price is very expensive.

With the exception of the Basic Interface and the Build Options, the rest of the system functions are still in the ??? unlocked status.

The gold coin in the upper right corner of the system is displayed as "0", and the only resources that can be used to modify the hull are a few planks in the warehouse.

Faced with such a state of poverty, even if there is a system in hand, it is equivalent to nothing, and Hades is undoubtedly in a stalemate.

"When is this day going to be the end?"

In the darkness of the night, he took on a human form and jumped onto the bow of the boat.

Because the body is a ship, Hades does not need to rest, so time is undoubtedly long for him, and loneliness and the unknown of the world have been constantly eroding him.

Suddenly, a flame appeared on the sea level in the distance, standing out against the dark night sky.

Accustomed to seeing the same sky and sea, he was stunned and rubbed his eyes.

There is a case!

Hades suppressed his excitement and adjusted his direction to move towards the firelight.

As he got closer, he finally saw clearly, it was a ...... No, two ships that collided.

......

"Boss, there's a ship approaching in the southwest!"

"What?"

As the words fell, the man with the butcher's knife snatched the telescope from his subordinates, and sure enough, on the surface of the sea, a sloop that almost blended with the night was approaching them strangely.

"Boss, this ship is a little weird!"

"It's not the navy, what weirdness can there be, it's buy one get one free, and another big fish has been caught!"

The man didn't care, and then raised his arms and shouted, "Little ones, divide a team of people and greet new customers with me!" ”

"Roar! ——！ ”

......

At the same time, Hades was driving the boat closer and closer, but as the distance got closer and his vision cleared, he realized that something was wrong.

He seems to have been ransacked by pirates!

In the light of the fire, the hull of the merchant ship was broken, the mast was broken, the deck was littered with broken wood chips and the corpses of sailors, and the smoke rose to form a column of clouds in the sky, covering the entire route.

The scene before him was far more real than any movie, and Hades came to his senses and quickly turned the bow of the ship to get out of this danger zone.

But it was too late.

"Boom" sounded, and I saw a harpoon tied with a thick rope shoot from the muzzle of the opposite ship, piercing the bow of Hades, connecting the two boats together.

Before he could struggle, a few more cannons rang out, and a succession of harpoons were fired, and seven or eight ropes held the small sloop firmly in place.

The body was pierced by someone with a connector, and the pain of empathy was transmitted to Hades's body.

The tingling sensation came to his whole body, and Hades felt as if he had been pricked with a needle, and he cried out in pain.

"What sound?"

The pirates had boarded the ship, and Hades, who had been hiding behind the mast, exposed himself with a muffled grunt.

"Boss, there's a kid here!"

"Oh?"

The man known as the Boss paced closer, and this person was none other than the Captain of the [Meat Pirates].

The fat body squeaked as it stepped on the wooden deck, and the expression on his face was hideous.

He first watched Hades playfully look at his prey, and then involuntarily pulled out his pistol and aimed it at his chest.

"Bang".

The bullet came out of the chamber with a sharp whistling sound, and a flash of fire streaked through the dark night sky.

From the discovery of Hades to the shooting, it was only five seconds.

His body was hit by a bullet, he lost all his strength, and he collapsed to the ground, his mind blank.

In fact, he could have lifted the ship spirit form a long time ago.

But he thought about it a lot. For example, if the ship is empty, he is not afraid of pirate looting; For example, he wanted to get some information from them, at least to know where he was; For example, encounters in the game often trigger missions, and he wants to see how the system reacts.

But he only overestimated the humanity of this group of guys, and killing people has long been accustomed to killing in their eyes, even if it is an unarmed child, he will not be soft at all.

When the pirates saw that the captain had killed someone, they screamed and cheered twice, and then drew their weapons and began to search every corner of the ship with impunity.

It didn't take long.

"Boss, it's all searched, and there's nothing on the ship!"

"Huh??" The man leaning on the deck waiting for news frowned.

"The ship is empty, not only is there no cargo, but even no one is seen."

The speaker pointed to the cabin behind him, where the huge warehouse was empty except for a few spare wooden planks, and not even the necessary household utensils were seen, as if the ship was not for people to live in.

In the darkness, the already slightly strange ship became even more bizarre after saying this.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the water, and the pirate who had been sent to search underwater shook off the water trail from his body.

"Boss, I've seen it underwater, there's nothing, unless the people on the boat ran away before they saw us, otherwise it can't be so clean."

The man's face darkened.

"Boss, it's not that I talk a lot, this ship seems to be really weird......"

“......”

"Old! ...... Top dog! ”

The successive exclamations finally stirred up the man's anger.

"What's wrong again?!" The man's fat-headed, big-eared face was full of hideousness, and he angrily rebuked at the comer.

"Yes just now...... The body of the little boy he just killed is gone! ”

“......”

"Pop", this time, the atmosphere changed suddenly.

The man who was about to get angry suddenly felt like someone had poured cold water on him.

Looking in the direction pointed by the crew, sure enough, the body that had fallen to the ground behind the mast was actually gone, and the most strange thing was that the ground was clean and tidy, and there was not even a drop of blood.

An obvious guess came to everyone's mind at the same time.

"Ghost ...... Quiet...... Ghost ship?! ”
