Chapter 1397 Thirty-nine. The Immortal Giant’s Horror
The sea breeze lifted up his black hair and windbreaker hem, and Lu Li saw the real culprit who caused the scream:
The crew member who discovered that Lu Li had fallen into the water fell from a seven- to eight-meter-high watchtower. His limbs and neck were weirdly twisted into ropes, causing blood to spatter in a radial pattern. A crewmember who happened to be standing under the watchtower had his face sprayed with blood.
Fortunately it was night and foggy, so not many passengers were on deck.
The third officer who was patrolling the deck rushed over and asked the crew to form a human wall to prevent panic from spreading and evacuate the passengers on the deck.
"Madam, please return to the cabin first."
"Why did that crew member become like that..."
"He accidentally fell from the watchtower..."
"Would the hands and feet fall like that?"
"Uh...he...he hit the guardrail..."
Lu Li listened to the crew member persuading a woman next to him to leave the deck.
Seeing the twisted limbs through his shaking legs, Lu Li knew that this was just the beginning.
"Sir, something unexpected happened..."
The crew member blocked Lu Li's view.
"I'll leave now." Lu Li turned around and stepped up the stairs.
"Sir, there is the bridge above, sir -"
The crew member raised his head and shouted several times, but when he saw no response, he reluctantly continued to evacuate other passengers.
Lu Li came to the upper deck and broke into the bridge.
"Sir, you have no right to—"
The raised flintlock choked the crewman's words back in his throat.
"I am an exorcist. There is something strange on the ship. I will temporarily take over control of the ship. Tell me to set sail immediately."
The crewman stared at the flintlock gun in front of his forehead and slowly raised his hands.
"But the anchor has fallen..."
"Anchor in the deep sea?" Lu Li frowned.
"I, we are very close to the farmland..."
The Immortal Giant has approached the Cultivated Garden continental shelf.
"Where's the anchor?"
"At the bow!"
Lu Li put down his flintlock gun, and the crew members breathed a sigh of relief.
But simply leaving the crew might be disobeying themselves - they won't think that disaster awaits just ahead.
At this time, new noises came from the deck, and the crew ran and screamed, because a shadow like a dark curtain appeared in the sky. A frightening shadow was slowly approaching from the depths of the thick fog.
The crew members on the side of the ship screamed like girls, fell, ran away and crawled.
"What is that..."
Panic gripped the hearts of the crew as they watched the Immortal Titan sail past with a silhouette like a ship.
"The reason why I asked you to set sail."
Compared with the approaching shadow, Lu Li cared more about the dark curtain covering the sky, "I'll weigh the anchor, you stay here."
"Wait a minute...here's the winch key!"
The crewman took off a bunch of keys from the wall and threw them to Lu Li. He already knew what to do correctly.
Back on the deck, the crew paid no attention to the passengers on the deck. Some passengers came out of the restaurant. They were covered with blankets or their companions' clothes. They stood in the sea breeze and looked at the crew strangely as they ran and shouted something.
Lu Li, who encountered no obstruction, came to the bow of the ship. He inserted the key into the winch, put the flintlock gun next to his feet, grabbed the winch and slowly pulled up the anchor.
"What is this gentleman doing-"
Finally, several crew members noticed Lu Li and ran towards him exclaiming: "Please leave immediately -"
"I am an exorcist. There are monsters in this sea area. The captain wants you to raise anchor and set sail immediately."
Lu Li continued to turn the winch without looking back.
These crew members experienced the strange time before and saw the key on the winch, so there was no doubt that he was there.
"Need help?"
As Lu Li and the four crew members accelerated to raise the anchor, a surprised voice sounded from behind them: "Stealed my gun and hijacked the passenger ship again... Are you an exorcist or a robber?"
"Miss Kate..."
The crew looked at each other
"I'll return it to you later." The flintlock gun was still useful to Lu Li, "Help me keep an eye on the bridge and set sail immediately after the anchor is raised."
Kate stared at Lu Li strangely, then turned and left the deck.
Lu Li and the crew turned the winch, and the heavy anchor broke away from the water.
But as the anchor gradually rose, the faint and beautiful singing voice shielded the chaos on the deck, penetrated the ears, became clearer and clearer, and filled the mind.
The crew members became stiff and hesitant due to the singing, and Lu Li was the only one who ignored the siren's song.
"continue."
Lu Li turned the winch much slower.
At a certain moment, Lu Li suddenly realized that the siren's song was getting closer and closer as the anchor rose - when all the iron chains were retracted into the winch, the clear song could be heard outside the ship's side.
The crew lost their minds during the singing and rushed to the side of the ship. Lu Li grabbed one of the crew members, but the frantic crew member opened his mouth and bit Lu Li. After throwing Lu Li away, he and his companions jumped into the sea one after another, and were swallowed by the rolling waves.
Lu Li stared at a female silhouette shrouded in mist, sitting sideways on the corner of the anchor, singing a siren song.
In that beautiful song, Lu Li seemed to have a glimpse of a beautiful world without weirdness and with Anna.
Resisting the invasion of the singing, Lu Li slowly retreated until the singing and the silhouette disappeared into the thick fog, then turned and approached the bridge.
A massacre was going on on the deck... The screaming lady was stuck by the spider web hanging from the air, and the crew member who tied himself to the mast was torn in half by the suction cup deep in the mist. The spontaneously combusting passenger rushed to his companion, letting his companion join him.
Stained with evil fire.
Lu Li ignored the strange things along the way and stepped up the steps, when he suddenly saw a pale face peeking out from the corner.
Some kind of force grabbed his heart, making Lu Li frown. But the crew members who fled with him covered their chests, spit out the broken heart fragments, and died miserably.
Shaking off his pale face, Lu Li came to the upper deck. The locked door blocked him.
People on the bridge heard the noise and looked over.
"Go back to the cabin, this is your last chance!" Flavichman yelled angrily.
Lu Li calmly stared at the chairman of Hodkin Royal Sailing Company in the bridge:
"Do you know what you are doing?"
With bloodshot eyes, Flavichman approached the door and spat violently through the window: "I won't let you take away my big ship...don't even think about it!"
Lu Li held the flintlock gun, and then let go of his hand. Because of the silhouette of Flavichman appearing behind him.
"This sea area is shrouded in a strange fog, and reaching the shore is your only chance of survival."
However, the current situation of Wanghai Cliff will not be better than that on the ship.
"you--"
Flavichman, who was knocked unconscious by the silhouette behind him, hit the door.
The first mate moved him away, unlocked the door, and looked at Lu Li complicatedly: "I saw those monsters... You are right."
"You did a great job."
Entering the bridge. In addition to the first mate, Kate and the crew were also there: "The anchor has been raised."
Lu Li handed over the control of the Immortal Titan to the first mate. He grabbed the microphone and contacted the boiler room, and then said to Lu Li: "We need time to heat up the steam."
"how long."
After a short silence, the first mate said with an ugly face: "Thirty minutes..."
The people on the Immortal Titan will have to persist in the strange fog for thirty minutes.
