"Staying on the deck will only trouble us, but staying in the cabin will kill us."
Is the trouble she's talking about a strange shadow? Or something else?
Lu Li still didn't know what the root cause was, and the woman in black robe didn't want to talk too much about it.
Five minutes after returning to the captain's cabin, the fourth wave of shadows climbed out of the deck and rushed towards the captain's cabin under the command of the shadow captain.
"The interval between their returns is shortening." Lu Li said as he looked at the woman in black robe who shot the shadow captain's head off with a shot and blocked the doorway, waving the psychic gun like a fire stick.
"Feel it."
Said the woman in black robe who poked the shadow's head with the gun barrel.
The time is now 4:55, less than an hour before dawn.
The interval between their appearances has changed from the first ten minutes to seven or eight minutes now - this means that after time is delayed for half an hour, they still have to face more than six waves of shadows.
"Is your sanity worth holding on to?" Lu Li asked.
"At least it won't be more serious than you are."
"You got it?"
"Um."
Lu Li didn't ask her how she knew. He stood behind the black-robed woman and helped her deal with the shadow that suddenly appeared from the floor.
Half of the shadows were eliminated, and the remaining shadows dispersed on their own. After a five-minute rest, the fifth wave of shadows crawled out of the ground.
The sixth wave, the seventh wave, the eighth wave...
Bang!
After scattering the twelve ghosts, and then shooting the captain's shadow on the deck more than 20 meters away, the woman in black robe put away the gun, panted slightly and said to Lu Li, "Get ready to leave."
"Where to go?"
"Shipside, waiting for dawn."
"It's difficult to defend there." Lu Li frowned.
"There is no other choice. If we stay here, we may not be able to catch the sunrise. We don't know the specific time."
This sentence made Lu Li think of something. He put his palm into his pocket and took out a pocket watch.
Opening the cover of the watch, I found that the time on this useless, damaged bag watch had solidified, pointing to 5:30.
Does the time on the bag watch given to him by the whale monster shadow be a metaphor for something...
The woman in black robe next to her noticed what Lu Li was holding: "Where did you get it?"
"In the cabin."
"That may be a clue, indicating the time of dawn."
"I think so too." After closing the lid, Lu Li tilted his head and asked, "Would you like to try it?"
The woman in black robe stuffed the last two bullets into the barrel of the gun and clicked it into the breech: "I can do it."
Lu Li lowered his eyes for a few seconds, then raised them: "Then stay in the captain's cabin and wait until the time approaches to go to the ship's side."
5:15, there are still 15 minutes until dawn, and the third minute since the last shadow attack.
The ninth wave of shadows crawled out from the black material covering the deck and slowly walked towards the two people in the captain's cabin.
The black-robed woman's movements began to slow down. Lu Li borrowed a psychic gun from her and swung it like a blunt weapon to scatter the surrounding shadows.
At 5:19, there are still 11 minutes until dawn, and the second minute since the last shadow attack.
The tenth wave of shadows appears.
A shadow walked silently from behind Lu Li. He reacted in time and dispersed the shadow. However, his arm was inevitably touched by the shadow's fingertips, and a large amount of black material penetrated his almost dry shirt.
"Don't be touched by it. The place where the shadow touches will produce black mud and slow down the speed. I think you should know."
"Um."
5:21, nine minutes before dawn, one minute after the last shadow attack.
The eleventh wave of shadows appears.
The woman in black robe raised her arm, wrapped her bandaged finger and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
Thick black smoke came out of the muzzle, and the captain's shadow on the deck dispersed, but after more than ten seconds, his shadow crawled out from the ground again.
The shadows began to appear without any gaps, and the two of them were no longer given time to rest.
The woman in black robe lowered her arms: "We can't hold on any longer. We can't let them entangle us. Find a way."
Lu Li asked: "How long can you last?"
"30 seconds."
"Go to the cabin entrance and I'll figure it out."
"Walk."
The woman in black robe approaches the stairs.
At this moment, Lu Li turned to look into the captain's room and wrote down the time: 5:22.
She threw a psychic gun as a consumable. The psychic gun scattered the two shadows, lost its strength and fell on the stairs. She was kicked away by the woman in black robes who followed closely behind.
The psychic gun shot out, smashing the head of a strange shadow and falling to the distant deck.
The woman in black robe pulled the trigger toward the bottom of the stairs, and there was a loud "bang" sound, and all the shadows on the stairs were instantly cleared away.
And almost at the same time, shadows crawled out of the deck again, walking silently.
"Retreat into the cabin and attack again if they get close."
Taking advantage of the gap, the two of them fled to the cabin. Lu Li left a message, turned around and ran into the cabin.
The woman in black robe withdrew her gaze and looked at the dark shadows surrounding her.
Almost within the thirty seconds she said, there was a chaotic sound deep in the cabin, and Lu Li rushed from the depths of the cabin, followed by a hideous and strange dark figure.
She raised the psychic gun, pointed it at the cabin, and put it down again.
Lu Li ran not in a hurry, and those strange figures were not chasing Lu Li.
Lu Li came to her, and the strange shadows passed by them, rushing downstream like rocks in a stream.
The four- to five-meter-tall whale monster is like a giant beast, rampaging unstoppably. The octopus monster wears a pair of boots and uses its tentacles to cut off the chest of a shadow in a ridiculous move. The chef monsters wield machetes and cut open the shadow. Shark
The strange shadows turned into afterimages and shuttled between the shadows, leaving a scattered shadow behind them. Several short strange shadows jumped on the backs of the shadows, wielding tools and smashing them down. The bullhorn monsters rushed to the front while holding axes and chopping.
Bang!
There was a vibration under the feet, sawdust on the deck flew everywhere, and several shadows flew into the air. A tentacle-like vine that was several meters thick emerged from the wooden planks of the lower cabin and violently smashed down onto the deck, one by one, onto the shadows.
On one side is destruction, on the other side is infinite rebirth.
The surrounding pressure disappeared instantly, and the woman in black robe put away her psychic gun and walked towards the side of the ship.
"Why would they help you?"
"Because I helped them."
"interesting……"
On the messy deck, the two came to the side of the ship. The woman in black robe looked at the battle on the deck: "The time is coming, do you have anything to say to them in the end?"
Lu Li took out the water bottle, poured the remaining water into his palm, and threw away the empty bottle.
"Thank you for coming to Belfast on your own time."
He said to the strange figures on the deck who were helping him.
"It's really your style." The woman in black robe commented and started counting down: "Ten seconds, nine seconds, eight seconds... three seconds... one second."
"Jump!"
The time arrived at 5:30.
Wiping wet palms across his eyes, Lu Li jumped into the dark sea. The moment his feet hit the sea, all the pressure disappeared, as if the sea was a thin film, and he crossed it to reach another brand new world.
The sky was spinning and the earth was briefly rushing to the surface of the sea. At this moment, Lu Li saw the golden dawn tearing through the clouds and pouring over the entire ocean.
