Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 302

[Chapter 302 Set foot on the ghost ship]

A ship “rises” up from the sea in a shocking way, and appears in front of Fan Na and Nina.

The waves on the sea haven’t stopped yet, layers of turbulent currents are spreading around the rusted ship as the center, and the sea water keeps falling from its rusted chimneys and deck buildings, making a loud and noisy sound. Swaying slightly between the waves, the slanting sunlight sprinkled on its deck, as if diffused with an unreal color.

Nina was dumbfounded, and it took several seconds to react, and immediately yelled: “Ah! Ship! A ship! A ship suddenly appeared!” Then

she suddenly turned to Fan Na, speaking very fast “I’m going to tell Uncle Duncan!”

The girl had already turned around and ran across the deck like a gust of wind, and ran towards the stern before she finished speaking.

Fan Na was still staring at the strange ship that suddenly emerged from the sea, observing the decayed traces and every detail on the ship.

She noticed a row of huge letters on the side of the bow—the letters were covered with serious rust marks and dirt, making it difficult to decipher, but she managed to read them out: “The Obsidian.” The mysterious ship suddenly appeared

in

the There was a lot of movement on the sea surface, and of course Nina and Fanna were not the only ones who noticed it, but after a while, other people who were resting in the cabin also gathered on the deck, including Morris, Shirley, Ah Including the dog and Alice, they came to the bow of the ship in amazement, looked at the strange ship not far away, and guessed its origin. Soon, Duncan followed Nina to the deck of the bow.

“Mr. Duncan,” Fanna said immediately after seeing Duncan, “There is no sign of living people on that ship, it may be…a ghost ship.”

When the word “ghost ship” was said, the young judge The expression on his face was somewhat odd.

“Come with me,” Duncan replied casually, and then looked up at the “ghost ship” that seemed to be only half the size of the Lost Home. He first noticed the chimney structure on the upper level of the ship, “It looks like a steam ship. Can you guess the approximate year and origin of the ship?”

“No need to speculate,” Morris’ voice suddenly sounded from the side, and the old scholar gazed at the distant sea with a trace of complexity in his eyes, “I saw its The name—the Obsidian, a steamship, sank in the frosty sea six years ago.”

“Huh?” Shirley, who was stretching her neck beside her, looked at the old man in surprise, “Master, do you know that ship?”

“Brown Scott got into an accident on that ship,” Morris said in a slightly low voice, “but…how did it suddenly appear here? And in this way…”

Alice on the side listened to the other I looked up at the “Obsidian” in the distance, and then looked back at Morris and Duncan. After thinking for a long time, I finally came up with a sentence: “Captain, is this normal? The sinking ship will float up from the sea “

“Of course this is not a normal situation,” Duncan glanced at the foolish man, “It’s called a ghost ship…and I suspect it’s not just a ghost ship.” As he was

talking, he heard the voice of the goat’s head suddenly It sounded in my mind: “Captain, do you want to fire two cannons? The cannons said that they were a little hungry and thirsty looking at this suitable angle and distance, and couldn’t help but want to throw a few shells at them…” “Let them bear it

! “Duncan interrupted Goat’s Head without hesitation, then pondered for a while, then turned to look at the people around him, “We have to go and see the situation.” “We want… to go to

that ghost ship?” Shirley Hearing this, he shrank his neck immediately, “Could I be a little rash, I’m not afraid of anything else, but what should I do if the ship suddenly sinks back, after all, it came out of nowhere…” “Aiyi

will He brought us back.” Duncan glanced at the girl lightly, “Of course, if you don’t want to go, you can stay here, this is not forced.”

Xue Li opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Agou on the side broke the silence first: “Let’s go, let’s go! Serving the captain’s life is our duty-bound mission! We are so happy!

” Then he started talking to his partner in his heart: “Agou, can you have some principles…” “Why is it

not a principle to see the situation clearly and actively participate in group activities?” Agou plausibly said in the spiritual connection, “Big brother You don’t have to worry about safety when leading a team, of course you have to show yourself well…” “

I mean, can you give me the chance to hold your thigh next time? I get snatched by you every time…”

Agou thought for a while: “… …Shirley, can you have some principles?”

Duncan didn’t care what Shirley and Agou were talking about in a daze at the same time (he knew that these two ‘people’ must be muttering in a spiritual connection when they were silent), Instead, he looked up at the others: “Do you want to go together?”

“I’m going!” Nina was the first to raise her hand, and she even seemed a little excited, “Hey, I only heard about ghost ships from legends and stories. However, I have never seen it with my own eyes.”

“The Lost Home is also a ghost ship,” Duncan had to remind the girl, and then looked at the others, “What about you?” “Maybe you

can find the ghost ship before Brown’s accident on that ship.” The clues left behind,” Morris nodded, “I’ll be with you.” “I’ll

go too,” Fanna followed up, “The phenomenon of ghost ships is probably related to heresy or evil erosion. I have some experience in this regard.” Experience.”

“I don’t know,” Alice thought for a while, looking at Duncan, “but I want to be with the captain.” “

Then go and see the world,” Duncan said casually, and turned to the captain. The mast not far away beckoned and called down the pigeon that was basking in the sun and resting its eyes, “Ai Yi, take us to that ghost ship.

” There was a sudden rise on the ship, and a moment later, the huge skeleton bird soared into the air, and rushed towards the “Obsidian” which was shaking slightly with the waves not far away.

Then the deck of the Lost Country fell silent.

This silence lasted for a short while, and a small boat hanging near the side of the Lost Homeland suddenly made a creaking sound and shook in frustration.

It was a shuttle boat, which is normally used to quickly transfer personnel between two ships that are approaching at close range on the sea.

The two cables coiled around the edge of the deck made a rustling sound, squirmed like a snake and came to the side of the shuttle boat, raised the end of the rope and patted on the hull of the boat.

The goat’s head staying in the captain’s room certainly sensed the situation near the deck, it sighed slightly, and chatted with the old guys on the ship who had been together for a century: “How about…you guys should practice on the small boats in the sea. Use your paddling skills…”

The creaking sound of the boat became louder…

On the other side, Ai, who flew over the Obsidian, did not land immediately, but was the first to land there under Duncan’s command. The ghost ship hovered several times, and after roughly confirming that there were no moving targets on the entire ship, it landed on a seemingly clean and stable deck.

The dark green flames blazed into the sky, and the figures of Duncan stepped out of the flames.

An obvious filthy smell penetrated into everyone’s nostrils almost immediately – it was the stench brought about by soaking in sea water, mixed with some indescribable smells of corruption.

Nina was the first to frown when she came to the deck: “Ouch…the smell is terrible…”

“Not all ghost ships are as clean and tidy as the Lost Homes, and they have unlimited French fries. Supply,” Duncan said to Nina with a smile, “If this ship is really the Obsidian, it has been

immersed in the deep sea for six years.” steam ship.

Rusted, dilapidated, and stained—it may have been a beautiful and advanced mechanical clipper, but now there is only a pile of lifeless steel and wood left here, and the weirder thing is that, as a just The boat had just floated up from the sea, but the sea water on it was gone.

The deck is dry.

Even the many sunken places in the deck, where water should have collected easily, were now dry.

Fan Na obviously noticed this too, she squatted down, rubbed the ground with her fingers, and frowned slightly.

She still remembered the scene when the ship floated up from the sea. At that time, a large amount of sea water poured down from the Obsidian, which looked like an endless waterfall. The sea water washed all corners of the entire ship—from common sense Judging, there can be no dry places on this ship.

“Vanna,” Morris turned his head after roughly observing the surrounding situation, “do you feel the breath of heresy or evil corruption?” “…No,” Fanna frowned and shook her head

slowly , she has been paying attention to this from the moment she first stepped on the deck, and is always aware of whether there are fluctuations of extraordinary power around her, “There is no trace of extraordinary energy, but this is even more wrong-the deck is dry, which is obviously abnormal , and there must be supernatural power behind the abnormal phenomenon.”

“Then it may be supernatural power beyond your perception,” Duncan said casually, and then walked forward, “Anyway, if there is really something hidden in this ship, What is it, then we just need to look for it more, it will definitely come out.”

Nina quickly ran two steps to catch up with her uncle Duncan: “What if something really jumped out?”

Duncan stopped and smiled. Turning her head in a hurry: “Anyway, try to reason first…”
