"What is this? I have to float in the sea for several days for no reason. I didn't tell you that. The fortune teller said that I am born with fire and avoid water, so this is a good time. What are you afraid of?" After the meeting, Mrs. Sun Xianglin said
He chattered all the way like he was possessed.
I got tired of hearing this, so I turned around and said to him: "Great Sage, when did you have a fire life again? I remember last time you said you had a gold life, and you also said you had a 24k gold life." I said this
At that moment, the money rat in Fatty Sun's hand suddenly squeaked and nodded at me. The rat seemed to understand what I said and even agreed.
Fatty Sun grinned at me: "They're all the same. Didn't I say, Lazi, haven't you heard that real gold is not afraid of fire?"
"Just talk nonsense." I laughed and scolded him: "Great Sage, in a few days, you will be metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and you will have all five lives."
"Xiao Lazi, who do you think has all the five poisons?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind me. Without turning around, I could tell that it was Monk Xiao who had arrived.
Before I could speak, Fatty Sun frowned and said, "Old Master Xiao, what kind of ears do you have? I'm not telling you, you have also worked in a film and television entertainment company, and you have seen a little bit of the world.
Just to enjoy the boat ride for a few days, why don't you take the initiative to come over and deal with the aftermath?"
"You know shit." Monk Xiao rolled his eyes at Fatty Sun and said, "What's the good thing about working hard at the Bureau of Investigation? What's wrong with staying on the ship for two days to be free..."
Early the next morning, our boat returned to the dock. After putting Gao Liang and his party down, it took a few of us back to the area where we saw the ghost ship yesterday.
Our follow-up work this time is to recover the glass bottles containing charms and cinnabar that Gao Liang and the others put in this sea area. In the past few days, they have put a total of forty-nine glass balls. These glass bottles use special
This method controls the flow range of glass bottles.
Fatty Sun used a net to fish up a football-sized glass ball from the sea. He turned back to Hao Wenming and said, "Hao Tou, I'm not telling you, why do you have so many glass balls? How old are you, and you are still drifting?
bottle?"
Hao Wenming rolled his eyes at Fatty Sun and said, "I don't know what disease I had in the first place. It's only during the internship that I was able to let you pass." After trying to express his luck to Fatty Sun for a while, Hao Wenming said helplessly: "
The glass ball is used as a warning. As long as a ghost ship passes nearby, the cinnabar in the glass will explode and dye the water in the surrounding sea red. Based on this, we can guess the route of the ghost ship."
Salvaging these glass bottles is not as easy as imagined. The sea area where the glass balls are dropped is too large. It took a few of us a week to salvage more than 20 glass balls, as well as the total amount of glass balls dropped.
Yes, it's still more than half way behind.
Fatty Sun was the first to lose his temper. When he salvaged the twenty-third glass ball, he said to Hao Wenming with a grimace: "Hao Tou, it's not me who said it, why are there only so few bottles? Those glass balls
Could it have been broken into pieces? Or was it swept to other sea areas by the waves?"
Hao Wenming tacitly agreed to Fatty Sun plagiarizing his catchphrase, but when Fatty Sun said "I didn't say that" in front of him, Hao Wenming still raised his head and glared at Fatty Sun, and said: "I told you, glass ball
It is filled with Ouyang Zianzuo's special cinnabar. If it is broken, you can see it at a glance. Also, the glass ball itself is also made of materials, so it is impossible to be swept away by the waves. In short, keep looking. I'm not saying
, we can go back only after we gather all the glass balls."
After another four or five days, our luck got a little better. Before dark, we found a total of forty-seven glass balls. We thought we were done for today, but we didn't expect that when we were bragging on the deck after dinner,
I saw a bright light flashing in the sea, appearing and disappearing on the sea. A closer look revealed that it was the glass ball dropped by the polling bureau into the sea. There were more than one. There was a waterweed that separated the two glass balls.
Tangled together, including these two, forty-nine glass bottles can be found.
The last two glass balls were salvaged, and Po Jun placed the forty-nine glass balls neatly on the deck. After a final count,
When our attention was all focused on the glass ball, Fatty Sun suddenly said: "Huh? When did it get foggy?"
Is it foggy? I raised my head and looked towards the sea. The sea in the distance was already a vast expanse of white. In just one minute, a thick fog started to fall. I saw that the fog had drifted over, and our boat was completely covered by the fog.
shrouded.
"Lazi, do you think this heavy fog is similar to the heavy fog when the ghost ship appeared?" Fatty Sun suddenly said to me.
I glanced at Fatty Sun and said, "There is something different about the fog? Monkey King, don't scare yourself. Boss Gao has already determined that the ghost...treasure ship will not come out until twenty years later. Do you think it is for rent?"
Car, just wave and he will come over." As I said that, I also made a waving gesture.
When I just raised my palm, I suddenly saw a black shadow suddenly appear in the center of the heavy fog in the distance. Judging from the size and shape of the black shadow, it was exactly ten days ago that Fatty Sun and I saw the ghost ship.
.
Fatty Sun's eyes were already straight: "Didn't I say it would come out in twenty years? What does it count now? Time traveled?"
As soon as Fatty Sun finished speaking, there was a loud "Bang!" sound in the center of the deck. The forty-nine glass balls exploded at the same time, and the cinnabar dust in the bottles instantly enveloped the entire deck. Fortunately, we were already surrounded by the explosion.
The ghost ship attracted and left that area, so no one was hurt.
After the explosion sounded, the captain didn't know what was going on. He came out of the cab to check the situation, but was stopped by Hao Wenming: "Set the ship! The faster the better."
The captain was recruited by Gao Liang through special channels. Although he cannot be regarded as a person officially recruited by the polling bureau, we cannot hide what we do from him. Now I see that the expression on Director Hao's face has become nervous and distorted.
The captain said no more nonsense and turned around and returned to the cab.
Seeing the ghost ship in the thick fog getting closer and closer, but our ship had no intention of lifting anchor and sailing yet. Hao Wenming became anxious and rushed into the cab. He saw that the captain was sweating profusely and kept
Instruct several crew members to switch operations back and forth on the console.
Hao Wenming frowned and said, "Why doesn't the ship leave?"
The captain wiped his sweat and said, "The anchor can't be retracted. It seems to be stuck somewhere?"
"It's stuck..." Hao Wenming was stunned for a moment, and then his face instantly turned pale, as if he had thought of something. Ignoring the captain, he turned around and walked back out of the cab. He shouted to a few of us: "The ship is sailing."
It’s no longer possible! Come over and help!”
While talking, Hao Wenming had already reached the anchor position. Although the fog was very heavy, I could still see that the sea surface where the anchor had dropped was densely packed with countless bubbles constantly rising up. With these bubbles as the center,
The surrounding sea water has turned dark green.
Monk Xiao followed Hao Wenming. When he lowered his head and saw this scene, he immediately frowned and cursed: "His grandma, the water ghosts are also joining in the fun."
Fatty Sun stood next to Monk Xiao. Among these people, his eyes were the weakest. He took a so-so look at the situation below. When he heard Monk Xiao talking about water ghosts, he then asked: "Old Master Xiao, what do you mean?
Are there water ghosts below? Didn't I say that a few water ghosts dragged the anchor?"
"How many water ghosts?" Monk Xiao sneered and said, "There are countless water ghosts down there. They can change the color of the sea water. There are at least thousands of them down there."
"Thousands... tens of thousands?" Fatty Sun's face also changed color: "How long will it take to solve them one by one?"
Hao Wenming raised his head and glanced at Fatty Sun: "I didn't tell you, who told you to solve them one by one?"
After Hao Wenming finished speaking, he turned around and walked quickly to the center of the deck. He looked around and found a piece of canvas on the deck. He wrapped the broken glass bottle fragments together with the cinnabar and the charm inside into a package.
Po Jun went over and took his hand, and together they carried the bundle containing cinnabar powder and glass shards to the previous location.
Hao Wenming took out a small knife, cut his finger, and dropped a few drops of blood on the dark green sea. In an instant, one wave after another rolled up under the sea, and it looked like a boiling pot. The color of the sea water
It is getting deeper and deeper, but the area is getting smaller and smaller. In a few seconds, it has turned from dark green to pitch black.
Hao Wenming and Po Jun shook their hands at the same time and poured the contents of the canvas bag into the sea. The already boiling sea calmed down for an instant, but the calm at this moment lasted for less than a second.
The scene that followed was like throwing a handful of salt into a boiling oil pan. With a "boom!", the seawater that came into contact with the cinnabar and the charm exploded. Then, light yellow water appeared on the surface of the sea.
Amid the smoke, the water that was already as black as ink returned to normal.
After seeing that it was almost done, Hao Wenming turned back to the captain in the bridge and shouted: "Weight anchor!"
As the noose turned, the anchor, which had been motionless just now, was slowly lifted up. There was a sound of motor, and the ship finally started to move.
The captain turned on his full power, and after a few minutes, he drove the ghost ship far away until the ghost ship was completely invisible.
"No, we're going the wrong way." When he couldn't see the ghost ship approaching, Fatty Sun started talking more: "Didn't I say, Master Xiao, weren't we just here to find the ghost ship? When we saw the ghost ship, we were
Shouldn’t we rush over?”
Monk Xiao rolled his eyes at him and said: "Nonsense, both people and guys were taken away by Fatty Gao, what should I do with him?"
Hao Wenming also glanced at Fatty Sun: "Great Sage, there is a chance. I am not saying that if the ghost ship can appear for the fourth time, it can appear for the fifth or sixth time. Director Gao will come back sooner or later. I will work with him
He suggested that you should be the first to board the ghost ship."
Fatty Sun laughed and said, "How can it be that easy? We only catch up with you once in five or six hundred years. Who is so lucky to catch up with us again? Right, Lazi?"
Watching Fatty Sun smile at me, I felt a little anxious in my heart. Just as I was about to remind him to keep a low profile, before the words came out of my mouth, I saw the captain walking out of the cab and pointing straight ahead towards Hao Hao.
Wen Wenming said: "Director Hao, come here and take a look. What is in front of you?"
Following the direction of the captain's finger, in the thick fog, a gloomy large sailing ship blocked the front...
Fatty Sun sat down on the ground, looked at the ghost ship and murmured to himself: "Why are you back again?" After staring at the position of the ghost ship for a few times, he suddenly turned to the captain and said: "I didn't say that,
Who asked you to drive the boat back?"
The captain waved his hands repeatedly and explained with strokes: "I saw that the GPS is walking in a straight line, and it is impossible to go back. This is really a ghost..."
Damn it... When he heard these three words, Fatty Sun's pupils shrank instantly and he stopped talking.
Seeing the ghost ship getting closer and closer to us, Hao Wenming finally couldn't help it and shouted to the captain: "Turn around and leave here at full speed!" At this time, Monk Xiao's mouth moved, as if he had something else in mind.
He meant it, but after hesitating for a while, he swallowed the words in his stomach. But when no one was paying attention, he took out a small plastic bottle, and when we were not paying attention, he poured the liquid in the plastic bottle into the sea.
inside.
After a lot of fuss, our ship turned around relatively smoothly, and the captain turned on its full power. A few minutes later, the ghost ship disappeared from our sight again.
But this time our mood was far from as relaxed as before. Several of us stood at the bow of the boat at the same time. No one spoke. Even Fatty Sun, who was usually a talkative man, kept his mouth tightly shut.
After about ten minutes, a small black spot suddenly appeared directly in front of the bow of the ship. The small black spot slowly grew larger in the fog. It was exactly the same as the previous encounter. The ghost ship suddenly appeared in front of us again.
Hao Wenming's face was livid, and he wanted to ask the captain to continue turning around. However, he was stopped by Monk Xiao: "Little Hao, it's useless, we've been spinning in circles." After saying that, he pointed to an area on the sea that was dyed black and said:
"That's the hair dye I just poured into the sea. Our boat went around in a circle and came back again." After a pause, Monk Xiao said again: "There is something wrong with this fog..."
"Impossible" Po Jun, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "Even if we are confused by the fog, the GPS on the ship cannot be confused, right?"
There is something wrong with the fog... Monk Xiao's last words made Hao Wenming understand. After hearing what Po Jun said, Director Hao thought of the answer. He turned around and entered the cab. He said to the captain: "I didn't say that.
,Are all GPS on the ship normal?”
"No problem..." The captain was stunned by the question: "The GPS on board is the latest model required by your senior leadership, and there is no problem at all. Why don't you take a look for yourself?"
Hao Wenming couldn't understand the navigation-specific GPS map positioning system, but he still pretended to look at it a few times. The captain even used his hand to explain to Hao Wenming on the screen.
Suddenly, Hao Wenming suddenly grabbed the captain's palm. Before the captain could understand, Director Hao's other hand had already inserted a hidden steel needle into the captain's ring finger bone.
The captain screamed in pain, and before he could curse, Hao Wenming had already let go of his hand and said, "Look again, is the GPS still the same as before?
"What on earth do you want to do! What's the difference..." Halfway through the words, the captain had already noticed the anomaly in the GPS: "It's impossible, we have been circling in this sea area just now?" He opened the book as he spoke.
I read the previous records, and the more I looked at them, the more frightened I became. Finally I didn’t dare to look at them. I raised my head and said to Hao Wenming: “I just looked at it and it was not like this. It’s completely the opposite.”
Monk Xiao was really right. Hao Wenming took a deep breath and said to the captain: "I didn't say that, what about now? Is there no problem?"
The captain hesitated for a moment and did not answer. His eyes were in a daze for a while. The scene just now shocked him so much that for a moment he might have had the illusion that he was still dreaming. Hao Wenming looked at him, sighed, and grabbed the
The captain's hand hit another steel needle against his thumb. The steel needle pierced his bones, and the captain let out another cry of pain.
"Are you awake?" Hao Wenming looked at the captain and said.
"Well, just tell me directly next time. Even if you have to get an acupuncture, let me be prepared." The captain covered his fingers and sighed, and said in a different tone: "I know what to do." He said,
The crew member in the bridge said: "Recalibrate the navigation route, turn on all the motors, and move forward at full speed!"
"Wait a minute." Hao Wenming stopped the captain: "I didn't tell you, who told you to sail the ship?"
The captain was stunned: "Then what do you mean?"
Hao Wenming said calmly: "Lower the anchor and stop the ship where it is." When Hao Wenming said this, we had all entered the cab. Fatty Sun's eyes widened and he said: "I didn't say that, Hao Tou,
What do you mean? We can still leave now, so we don’t have to fight the ghost ship."
Before Hao Wenming could say anything, Monk Xiao said first, "Can you leave? Little fat man, you go out and have a look before we talk."
"What are you looking at? It's all foggy. Master Xiao, if you have anything to look at, I'm not telling you, Lazi, come with me to go out and have a look." Fatty Sun muttered and walked out of the cabin, and he didn't forget to pull me with him before leaving.
"It's still foggy, what's there to see?" Fatty Sun reached the deck and raised his voice a few degrees.
"Great Sage, take a closer look." I already felt the meaning of Monk Xiao's words.
