"Little brother, why is the wind blowing again!"
"I just sent away a typhoon not long ago. Is this going to bring another typhoon?"
Fukui, like Xinke, is close to the sea. Jin'an is flying against the wind, and the sound of the roaring wind and waves can be heard all over his ears. The rustling trees are like ghosts hiding in the dark mountains with teeth and claws dancing.
The island itself is not big, and since we are flying in the sky, there is no need to take a long detour, so we arrived at Xinke Port before Haishi.
As soon as the flag ship landed, everyone noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the fleet. It was too quiet and not even a single sailor was seen on the deck.
"Where are the people?"
"Where have all the sailors gone? Why are there only empty ships?"
The Criminal Investigation Department talked a lot.
The old Taoist priest looked worried: "It seems that my little brother has guessed that there is something going on with the fleet!"
Jin An looked around, then led the old Taoist priest and the others towards the ship building.
Knock knock.
Jin An knocked on the door: "I, Jin An."
As a result, there was silence behind the door.
Jin An frowned slightly and frowned again: "We are back. I know there is someone behind the door. Open the door. I have something to ask you."
Liu Tai and others looked puzzled: "What's going on? Why doesn't everyone open the door?"
When something happened to the fleet, Jin An had no patience to whisper and directly used his inner strength to shatter the door latch.
But before they could see clearly what was going on inside the ship, they were attacked by a large number of arrows.
Jin An seemed to have known the situation in the cabin in advance. With a roll of his Taoist robe, a strong wind blew from his inner energy, easily deflecting all the arrows.
Only then did the old Taoist priest and others standing behind Jin An fully see the situation inside the ship. There were many sailors sitting quietly in the ship, their eyes fixed on them. Some looked wary, some looked desperate, and some looked frightened.
disturbed.
As you walk into the ship building, you can see more space. There are several mutilated corpses on the inner deck and walls of the ship.
The corpses all died in the same way. Their upper bodies exploded in a fan shape, and the flesh and bones of their upper bodies spread like colorful moldy spots. It looked like rotten and moldy pork that had been left for a long time. It was very unappetizing to look at. The decks and walls were all covered with mold.
These disgusting mold spots exploded on the upper body.
There are these disgusting corpses hanging from the ceiling.
The most horrifying thing was a few people sitting on the ground. Their lower bodies were still sitting in a sitting position, while the flesh and blood of their upper bodies exploded to the ceiling. The exploded colorful mold stains stuck to the ceiling and were still connected to their lower bodies, looking like open-umbrella mushrooms.
, this visually shocking picture has exceeded the psychological endurance limit of ordinary people.
I don’t know how the sailors in the shipyard could endure this kind of fear and still remain quiet.
Jin An frowned: "Can anyone tell me what happened here?"
But these sailors were all sitting motionless, and no one was willing to answer him.
Jin An led the people behind him towards the second floor of the ship building. No one stood up to stop him. The sailors remained numb and sat motionless.
Jin An was sure that these people were alive, but he didn't know what happened to the fleet during their absence, which caused these people to behave strangely. It seems that the truth of the matter can be found out only by finding General Wang Lu.
On the fifth floor of the flag ship, it was not difficult for Jin An to find General Wang Lu. General Wang Lu was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, looking motionless in a certain direction of the fleet...
Next to General Wang Lu, there were a dozen personal guards standing, but the upper bodies of three of them were blown into mold and stuck to the ceiling.
There is a fourth corpse beside General Wang Lu. Judging from his clothes, he is the adjutant of General Wang Lu. He is also dead.
Jin An naturally sat down next to General Wang Lu. This seat was exactly the seat where he and General Wang Lu sat side by side when they were sailing on the sea.
Jin'an also followed General Wang Lu's example and stared in a certain direction of the fleet.~~
At this time, the storm at sea was still increasing, the fleet was rising and falling with the waves, and a bigger storm was moving towards the East China Sea.
Jin An first briefly recounted the events of the past few days. When it came to the visions of heaven and earth, what he saw and heard along the way, and when he was worried about the safety of the fleet, he came all night and stood behind General Wang Lu.
The expression on the face of the surviving bodyguard finally changed, becoming grateful, moved, and solemn.
"What happened?"
"Is it related to that... warship?"
Jin An raised his hand and pointed to a warship in the fleet with a calm voice. That was the source of all the weirdness.
General Wang Lu, who had been sitting still, spoke up. Perhaps it was because the sailors had suffered too much, or perhaps because the guards and adjutants who were traveling with him were killed one after another, which was a huge blow to him, and his voice was hoarse and heavy...
After the first batch of masters from Yujing Golden Tower, Zhenguo Temple, and Tianshi Mansion were all destroyed, a second batch of teams were sent to explore the ghost ship.
This time more people were sent, but it still ended in failure and a large number of experts were lost.
The heavy losses made Shenzhou dare not easily send people to board the ghost ship, so General Wang Lu issued an order to cut off the iron ropes and attack the ship with rockets.
But all the people sent to cut the iron rope died.
This incident was like a living person violating the taboo of the dead. Strange things not only happened on the ghost ship, but also began to spread to the surrounding areas. The panic was intensifying. Some people chose to jump into the sea to escape and swam desperately to the shore. However, they all fell into the sea like stone.
Jump into the sea and disappear, no one alive or dead, no corpses.
Being unable to cut off the iron ropes and jumping into the sea to leave the fleet was a huge blow to General Wang Lu who ordered the formation of the iron ropes. He blamed himself in his heart. If he hadn't given the order, maybe everyone would have had a chance to escape.
What happened next was accelerating and serious, and more people died one after another. Everyone had one characteristic before death, that is, they were panicked and yelled.
After discovering this detail, since they could not find out the truth of the incident, everyone finally chose the most helpless method, asking everyone to stay in the cabin, seal the doors and windows, stop running around, keep quiet and don't make any noise! No matter tonight
Whoever knocks on the door and asks to open the door, no matter what noises are heard outside the ship, do not open the door or answer the door! Let’s get through tonight’s crisis first, and wait until dawn tomorrow to make long-term plans!
This did indeed control the number of casualties.
Boom, boom, boom.
After listening to General Wang Lu's hoarse voice, Jin An placed his right middle finger on the armrest of the Grand Master's chair and tapped the wood with a thoughtful expression.
"Panic, upper body, explosion, it seems that the cause of death of these people is that they scared themselves to death. When the human heart can no longer fill the fear, they die of fear."…
It is said that the authorities are confused and the beholder is clear. Jin An calmly thought about it and gradually figured out the clues.
When it comes to this matter, he always feels very familiar, as if he has seen similar weird and strange stories somewhere before. He has strong ideas, quick thinking, and a photographic memory. He soon thinks of where he has seen this familiar feeling.
~~
A similar case was encountered in "Quang Binh You Shuo Synaesthesia Record" written by Quang Binh Sanren. It was said that a small town was plagued by evil spirits and the people behaved strangely. They believed that letting babies cry at night would scare away the ones who stole the baby's food.
Mountain sprites, so at night, the town is filled with the sounds of babies crying.
Even if the baby becomes hoarse from crying and the parents prick it with needles or pinch it with their hands, they still try their best to make the baby cry. They are afraid that the baby will be taken away if he stops crying.
So there are a lot of mute and disabled children in that town.
The San people of Quang Binh saw this ridiculous thing, so they asked the townspeople, have any of you seen with your own eyes a child being stolen by Shan Pang?
The townspeople answered that they heard who said it, the lady next door said it, or their wife said it herself, but no one said they saw it with their own eyes.
In fact, there is no such thing as child stealing. It is just an evil spirit who took advantage of the strong preference for boys over girls in that town. Many baby girls were abandoned by cruel parents after birth, or some wives lied about giving birth to children because they were afraid of being scolded by their husbands.
The baby boy was later stolen by Shan Fang, so the evil spirit-eating ghost used people's selfishness to spread rumors and let himself feed on people's fear, thus continuously strengthening himself.
People are afraid, and for some evil spirits it is a great nourishing tonic.
Thinking of this case recorded by Guangping Sanren, and then thinking of the current situation, Jin'an already had some idea of the various strange things happening in the fleet.
There is something in the fleet that is feeding on the fear of thousands of people and having a feast.
