Chapter 284: Something Sneaking Into the Dark
"I don't think it's that simple. Yue Qingli said.
Jiang Yinchen also nodded: "Indeed, this thing is weird everywhere. ”
They had only discovered that the ship was sailing in the wrong direction, and that night they had discovered that the Big Dipper was in the wrong position.
Then it was Yue Qingli who found this thing on the boat, no matter how you thought about it, this thing was weird.
"Then what should I do with this thing?" asked Yue Qingli.
The crowd looked at the thing in the cage.
Although it was said that the face was really beautiful, the thought that it had no body and only a slender tail made everyone shudder.
Yue Qingli and they are okay, after all, they have seen a lot of strange things before, but Jiang Zheng is really the first time to see such a strange thing.
Shu Yicai said: "Since you're afraid, don't look at it." After saying that, he stood in front of her very considerately.
Jiang Zheng glanced at him gratefully.
"Let's keep it for now. Jiang Yinchen said, "I always feel that this matter should not be over yet." ”
That night, Yue Qingli had been thinking about the thing in the cage, and he still couldn't fall asleep.
They had been floating on the sea for days now, and nothing else had been found except for the one in the cage.
Although it was a bit strange to find out that the ship was sailing in the wrong direction, and then discovered the position of the Big Dipper, it did not help their situation at all.
Even Jiang Yinchen was a little powerless about the current situation.
But fortunately, he was more prescient and asked He Minghui to prepare a lot of food on the ship in advance, so it was not a problem for everyone to eat now, even if it was a word, it would not be a problem to stay at sea for a while longer.
But the anxiety in her heart did not change.
After all, their situation is really strange now.
Although there is no danger to my life, I don't know when it will happen.
Yue Qingli really wanted to settle the matter here as soon as possible.
It's best not to look for anything else that doesn't know if the Pearl of the East China Sea is not there, how good it would be for them to go straight back to the Dark Bone Gate.
Thinking like this, gradually Yue Qingli slowly fell asleep.
It's just that tonight is destined to be an unquiet night.
The cage that kept the thing in was a little scary to see because the contents were cold. They didn't want to take the cage back to their rooms.
So in the darkness, something snuck into the cabin.
The thing jumped up and down in the cage, and although there was a lot of movement, it was relatively clear under the cover of the night, but because everyone had fallen asleep, no one noticed it.
Something slowly approached the cage.
There is a lock on the cage, just open the lock, and the cage can be opened directly.
But the moment the thing approached the lock on the cage, a flash of fire suddenly lit up, and the thing was on fire at once.
The thing began to roll silently around the room.
And the things in the cage seemed to be frightened by the firelight, and they didn't dare to move.
At this moment, the originally dark room became cold.
Jiang Yinchen held a lamp and looked at the things rolling on the ground.
Shu Yicai took a wooden stick and poked it twice: "So ugly, what is it?"
He Minghui held the lantern and looked closer: "It seems to be ...... Is it an octopus?"
Shu Yicai's eyebrows tightened: "The octopus is so ugly?"
The octopus, which had been burned unconscious, moved its claws as if to express its displeasure.
"Anyway, we collected it here all night, and the mastermind didn't see one, but the shrimp soldiers and crabs will send a lot, when will this kind of day be the end?" Shu Yicai sighed.
"No way, who put us on the weak side now. He Minghui said.
"It's okay, let's catch one of them, we can't fit it on the boat, so we peel these things and hang them on the stern of the boat, maybe we can catch a few fish." Jiang Yinchen said, a smile on the corner of his lips.
The octopus, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, heard this, and moved its claws slightly.
Shu Yicai didn't see it: "That's right, I think charcoal-grilled octopus should be good." ”
"Charcoal-grilled octopus doesn't taste good, it has a fishy smell, it's better to put it in a pot, cook it on high heat for an hour, add various seasonings, and it will definitely taste good out of the pot. ”
Before the words fell, the octopus, which was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, ejected like lightning
The three of them calmly watched the octopus bounce out, and they didn't say anything for a long time.
I don't know how long it has been, Jiang Yinchen said: "Since the matter is over, let's go back and rest." ”
"What if that thing comes back later?" He Minghui asked.
"Don't you see that thing's timid appearance, since you don't even have the guts to come back immediately?" Shu Yicai said on the side.
When He Minghui heard this, he went back.
A good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, when Yue Qingli came over, he found that the cage had been burned by fire.
"What's going on?"
Before Jiang Yinchen could speak, He Minghui preemptively said: "Last night, an octopus came to grab the ugly thing in the cage and was burned by the rune paper on the cage. ”
As soon as he heard that a monster was coming to grab the things in the cage, Jiang Zheng suddenly froze.
Jiang Yinchen added: "It's okay, the octopus has already run away." ”
Jiang Zheng suddenly didn't dare to move: "Ran away?"
Shu Yicai saw Jiang Zheng's fear, so he comforted: "It's okay, don't worry, the octopus should be more afraid of us now." ”
After all, the three of them are the culprits of arson.
"But it's better to be awake when you go to bed tonight. Jiang Yinchen said: "Maybe that thing will be found tonight." ”
Although I don't know what the hell is behind it, everyone has seen all kinds of strange things under that thing, and they are much more vigilant about it.
And since that thing dares to make trouble at sea, I believe it won't be easy.
It's just that it's always hiding its head and feet, which makes people a little unaccustomed to it.
Yue Qingli nodded: "Okay, I will." ”
Although Jiang Zheng was a little scared, he also nodded.
Xuan Rui kept listening, and at this time her eyebrows tightened: "I don't know when it will come, why don't I live with Qingli and Jiang Zheng at night." ”
Hearing her say this, Jiang Yinchen still agreed.
Shu Yicai said: "That's fine, you have a response to each other." ”
He Minghui looked at the thing in the cage and couldn't help but say, "Actually, after looking at this thing for a long time, I don't think it's so ugly." ”
Xuanrui immediately scoffed at him.
He Minghui touched his nose and didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing this, Yue Qingli smiled a little helplessly. She glanced at Jiang Yinchen, and the two of them smiled tacitly.
Although they don't know anything now, according to the clues they have so far, everyone has a little understanding of the current situation.
Now all they need to do is wait for what's behind them to come into view.
During the day, it was still peaceful, and everyone did what they had to do, as usual.
Although it seems calm, everyone knows that there are still some things that are different.
Night fell quietly, and the sea was plunged into darkness, and nothing could be seen.
There was only a little light on the ship, illuminating the surrounding sea.
With nothing to do on the boat, Yue Qingli and the three girls entered the room early, leaving only the male one and the three of them still guarding outside.
Yue Qingli was a little worried, and kept looking nervously at the direction of the door.
Xuan Rui knew her worries, so she comforted: "Qingli, don't worry, with the senior brother here, there will be no problem." ”
Although Yue Qingli knew that there would be no problem, he still couldn't stop worrying in his heart.
Xuan Rui didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only stay next to her silently.
Jiang Zheng was not so familiar with them, and he didn't know what to say when he saw this, so he could only stay quietly alone.
Xuanrui glanced at her and said nothing.
Yue Qingli looked at the two of them and knew that Xuan Rui had an ambivalent attitude towards Jiang Zheng. After all, Shu Yicai takes good care of Jiang Zheng now, and sometimes even Yue Qingli can't stand his gentle appearance.
In fact, Yue Qingli knew that Shu Yicai was feeling uncomfortable now, but because of Xuanrui's existence, she didn't want to favor Shu Yicai.
After all, when it comes to this matter, it is Shu Yicai's fault.
If he hadn't been so hesitant, Xuanrui wouldn't be like this now.
What's more, now Shu Yicai has also involved Jiang Zheng, which makes Xuanrui more and more displeasing to Jiang Zheng.
So all the problems are Shu Yicai's fault.
She knows everything in her heart, but she is only good to herself because of Shu Yi, and some things can't be said clearly.
Especially now that Shu Yi is here, it's entirely because of himself.
Time passed little by little, the night was getting darker, and Yue Qingli didn't know what was happening to Jiang Yinchen outside.
She wanted to go out and take a look, but she remembered Jiang Yinchen's advice before leaving, no matter what happened, don't come out. Although I knew that he would say this because something would definitely happen at night, so he didn't let himself go out. But the concern in my heart still exists.
Jiang Yinchen and Shu Yicai were staying in the cage, everything around them was calm, but they couldn't tell where something frightening could come out.
The night was deep, and I knew that it would be hard to see what was going to happen in the dark.
Just then, there was a soft noise, and something crept onto the boat.
Jiang Yinchen instantly became vigilant, he glanced at Shu Yicai next to him, Shu Yicai received his prompt, and he was also alert.
Seeing this, He Minghui, who was guarding the other side, made a gesture to them.
The three of them quietly stood aside.
At this moment, there was a slight sound of lapping on the water, and the song sounded faintly, and I don't know what was surrounding the boat.
In the darkness, the three of them widened their eyes and looked at the place where the voice came from without blinking.
A very beautiful face suddenly appeared on the ship, and with some vigilance on it, quietly looked around.
