To be precise, Mu Enli didn't think that he really had the qualifications to be a captain, even though he was a former navy man and had the reputation of being an engineer, but after all, he was too young.
He didn't even know how to manage the many employees on the ship, even though he had returned to this country he had never met before, and even though the people he worked with were people of the same skin color as him.
But Mu Enli had to admit one thing, that is, the cultural differences between the two different societies were too great.
Seagulls flew low over the whistle. One summer evening, Mu Enli stayed alone somewhere on the cruise ship. He took off his hat, leaned against the railing feeling extremely tired, and secretly secretly
Drinking wine.
Not long after, a figure climbed up very quickly, wearing the clothes of an ordinary sailor, with his head lowered, and walked towards Mu Enli.
"Mu Enli, why are the routes repeated this time? We should take as many different routes as possible so that we can detect more areas."
Here we go again... here we go again.
Mu Enli silently looked at the... monitor walking towards him. He couldn't understand why this woman still didn't understand?
Or maybe she was just pretending to sleep...and she could never wake up someone who was pretending to sleep?
Mu Enli didn't know exactly what country this monitor was from. What was clear was that she was obviously of yellow race, and her name... codename: Yuna.
As for the code name... I also have a temporary code name called king, right? Mu Enli suddenly laughed at himself.
The hat Yuna wore wrapped her hair well. From a distance, she looked like a relatively thin crew member. But Mu Enli knew that except for him, no one on the ship could shout.
I can tell what her name is.
Because she has always occupied her bedroom, of course, for convenience, the two of them live together.
One day while Yuna was waiting for the mission to be completed, the mysterious people who ordered him requested at least two years of data... Now almost a year has passed.
It stands to reason that Mu Enli might be free in another year, if nothing unexpected happens... Yes, if nothing unexpected happens.
However, in the past three months, Yuna has not been in contact with the mysterious guys anymore, and she has gradually begun to become abnormal.
"The routes are all arranged, and even I can't change them at will." Mu Enli looked into Yuna's eyes, frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you not to mess up? Wan
What should I do if I’m discovered?”
"Are you afraid that I will bring up ghost legends again?" Yuna's face was calm, "Don't worry, I have adjusted and recovered, and I will never do such stupid things again. Because, yesterday I contacted the headquarters again. Mu Enli
, we can continue with the characters.”
Yesterday...yesterday you just talked to yourself all night.
Normal? I’m afraid it’s getting worse, right?
Is the brainwashing those people did to you really so terrifying?
Mu Enli even looked at this woman with some pity for living in his imagination. He didn't understand what the meaning of this woman's existence was.
"Yuna, what is the most important thing to you?" Mu Enli looked at the sea that was dyed red and asked suddenly.
Yuna said nothing and said with great determination: "Complete the mission."
Mu Enli suddenly became a little irritable, perhaps because of the influence of alcohol, or because he had lived in a straight-forward society for the first half of his life. He suddenly grabbed Yuna's arms and forced her lips hard.
Kissed.
Yuna bit Mu Enli's lip angrily and pushed him away with a cold face, "I'm here to help you, not to tempt you. Mu Enli, if you dare to harass me again, don't blame me for being rude."
!”
Mu Enli wiped her lips and laughed: "Isn't she also a woman! Hahaha!!"
Yuna snorted coldly and turned around.
Mu Enli shook his head, lay down directly on the deck, covered his face with his hat, and hummed a tune casually.
It seems...even if I come back, I am not as free as before.
I'm back...what's the point?
…
Mu Enli thought of another way, a way for Yuna to wake up from her imagination.
"Look! This is an internal document sent by the shipyard company. It already states that there is no 'treasure' on the ship! In addition, those people still have no instructions!"
"Are you crazy! You actually did such a thing? What if you are exposed?" Yuna looked at Mu Enli, like an enraged female cat, and she directly tore up the document.
"You are really determined to give up. If you have the ability, you should contact your so-called headquarters now." Mu Enli shook his head.
Without saying a word, Yuna took out a suitcase from under the bed. After opening it, there was a set of communication equipment inside. Yuna took out the detached communicator and put it on her face, "Call, number shg10,
Yuna...Yes, I am Yuna. Regarding this incident, I want to report...Yes, this matter..."
Mu Enli took the suitcase, took out the instrument, and said angrily: "The power has been out for a long time, who did you tell me!"
Yuna just glanced at Mu Enli hatefully, then gathered all the scattered things around her in a panic, and then said to the communicator again: "Headquarters, you heard me, the signal here is not good, please wait a moment
Wait...is it better...Yes, I will continue to report..."
"Crazy, really crazy..."
"Yes... Mu Enli has rebelled... I know it, I will clear it up immediately..."
"What...what do you want to do?"
Yuna stood up and rushed towards Mu Enli suddenly.
It took him a lot of effort, and even after a deep wound on his arm that was visible to the bone, he reluctantly subdued the monitor... This was also due to his many years of military experience.
…
In the separate bathroom in the bedroom, the mouth was locked... and a large amount of sponges were posted here to prevent Yuna from going crazy.
But even so, Yuna's body is still full of scars... If Mu Enli hadn't played some music loudly in her room every night, people outside might have noticed her movements.
"This is the latest tranquilizer released...Take it."
Mu Enli held Yuna's chin and stuffed the pills into her mouth through the gap. It had been two weeks, right? She had been given a lot of tranquilizing drugs that could be bought, but in addition to letting her
Apart from being groggy most of the time, it seemed to have no effect.
"Mu Enli, let me go. Let's continue to complete the mission. They won't blame you... Mu Enli..."
Yuna's eyes were blank and she lay on the cold floor.
Mu Enli slammed the door in annoyance, sat on the bed by himself, and covered his face with his hands. He could no longer stand Yuna's madness.
He began to grab a bottle of strong liquor, drank it in large gulps, and then turned on the speaker in the room, amplifying the loudest sound... Only in this way could he reluctantly fall asleep.
Day by day, no matter how noisy the environment was, he seemed to be able to hear Yuna speaking to him. Finally... alcohol could not stop the lingering voice in his mind.
One night, Mu Enli fell like mud under his bed, and got up with a splitting headache. The many days of insomnia and fatigue made him extremely nervous.
He picked up the fruit-peeling knife from the room, held the wine bottle in one hand, took another swig, then dragged himself closer step by step...opened the bathroom door.
Looking at the half-asleep woman inside, with a numb face, lowered her head and showed the knife in her hand, she muttered in her sleep: "I gave you a chance...I gave you many, many opportunities. I,
I even thought of many ways, but why don’t you wake up? Why? Why...why!!"
He roared suddenly, grabbed Yuna's hair with one hand, pulled her up, and penetrated her upper body into the water in the bathtub. Yuna's head was completely under the water, and she struggled painfully instinctively.
"Wake up! Wake up!!"
He lifted Yuna's head again, and her wet hair was completely stuck together. Yuna coughed and gasped in pain, looking at it coldly but indifferently.
"Look at you! Do you still look like a human being? You don't! Just a puppet!!"
"What is the most important thing to you?" Yuna said suddenly.
"I have my new life, I have my new future! I have my life! I have everything!! What do you have?!"
"I have the meaning of my existence...you don't..."
Mu Enli screamed angrily, and stabbed Yuna fiercely with the knife in his hand!
The sharp knife cut open the skin on Yuna's arm in an instant, and the blood immediately dyed the water in the bathtub red. Mu Enli's eyes widened with a ferocious look on his face, "It's okay to lie to me! Just say you're normal!!"
Yuna! Stop thinking about the mission! You are free!! Live your life again! Don’t force me to kill you!"
"coward……"
Finally, his nerves were stimulated to the extreme.
It was in this bathroom that the ugliest, evil, and despicable thing happened... The young captain of the White Jade assaulted the equally young Yuna.
He covered her mouth and penetrated her body again and again. The distance between his eyes and hers was never more than ten centimeters from beginning to end.
Shocked again and again, he was like a hungry wolf eating a rotting corpse, and she was like a body that had lost its soul.
This place is like a silent hell.
This evil mirror-like hell continues... He has completely degenerated into a demon. He gets extremely drunk every night, and then opens this place full of sin, venting the evil in his body again and again.
The ugliness lurking in it.
This is like a nightmare, a never-ending nightmare buried deep in my heart...the ugliest nightmare.
They have been peeled away layer by layer, and then dug out again and again...these things that have been diluted in memory.
Finally, an old hand completely scratched them into pieces.
…
Like a breakthrough from one latitude to another, this old palm tore apart the world in memory.
It stirred, continued to tear, and continued to stir, as if it wanted to completely knead them into a ball.
But in the end they unfolded again, forming a circle, constantly rotating in this evil mirror-like hell.
What the hell is this place?
"The place where your memory is deepest."
"My life has come to an end, why should I face this matter again... Isn't my shame enough?"
"What did you see?"
"The ugliest me."
"anything else?"
"Hate my Yuna."
The fragments of memory rotated again, and the evil mirror-like hell once again opened in front of him. He couldn't bear the pain, and he had no choice but to cover his ears with his hands.
Until a newborn cry sounded.
He raised his head again. In this world that had come into existence from scratch and was pieced together from memory fragments, he finally saw... the boss who gave him the last time.
The boss reached out and grabbed a fragment from the countless fragments... Among the spherical memory fragments, a child who had just come to this world and had not yet opened his eyes made his first voice.
The boss sent the fragment to Mu Enli, "So, what do you see now?"
His hands were trembling slightly, like a lost traveler in the desert, devoutly waiting for the rain to fall in front of him, "I...my child."
"Your and Yuna's child."
"Yes, me and her child."
"Captain, once again, let's take a look at these memories of yours." Luo Qiu said softly: "You should be able to feel it now when you look back on your life."
Mu Enli subconsciously looked at those sin-filled memories.
Yuna was sitting in front of the window, with her hands on her bulging belly, silent. Next to her, the young captain was talking nonstop.
"At this time, Yuna no longer struggled, but she never said a word to me. No matter what method I used... I just wanted to make up for the mistakes I had made."
On another fragment, a woman lowered her head and gently caressed the child in her belly, with a rare smile. The young captain next to her was watching dreamily.
"She still refused to talk to me. I knew she had never forgiven me...but I saw the brilliance of motherhood from her face. It was so sacred. In front of her, I was like the humblest sinner."
Another piece of debris.
"She started quietly making clothes for the children...but as soon as I came back, she would hide the things."
Piece by piece.
He began to look at the most despicable thing that had been buried bit by bit.
"Premature birth... What I was most worried about finally happened! I originally planned to take the risk and send her to the hospital no matter what! I even made arrangements, but in the end she was born prematurely!"
Yuna used her last strength to give birth to this sinful child. When the young captain realized it...he was dead.
Finally, the old man looked at the memory of blood, sin and life with fascination.
The young man sadly held his newborn child and knelt down beside the bed, while the woman closed her eyes forever.
"Yuna...why is she smiling like this? Did she have one at the time?" The old man looked at the boss blankly.
"Captain, this is your memory, there is no error. So it naturally exists." Luo Qiu said calmly: "Now... what did you see again?"
The old man finally put all the memory fragments into his arms, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "I gave her a reason to live. When I first felt the intention to kill, she even hoped that I could really kill. After all, she was still in too much pain."
"You are right, you can only understand it when you look back." The old captain's eyes gradually returned to calmness, "It's just that I never dared to face them."
"But sin cannot be wiped away."
"Yes, I never thought about cleansing myself of my sins... In the end, I just got a relief."
"Okay?"
"It's enough, it's enough." The old man shed two lines of tears and said softly: "I missed her smile... It's enough to be able to see it again."
"As long as you are satisfied."
…
…
In the cave.
Boss Luo suddenly loosened the restraint at the beginning of his palm, giving this completely dark ball of light a chance to escape. It was just a spirit body.
The darkness slowly sank in front of the tomb, and then took on the shape of the old captain, who finally came to the tomb again in the form of a spirit body.
The gray substance gradually began to dissipate.
The boss took out the handkerchief and buried the bundle of hair wrapped in it in front of the simple tombstone.
It finally returned to its pure white appearance, shining brightly.
The maid picked up the old leather suitcase from behind Luo Qiu and placed it next to her before returning to her master's side.
The contents in this box are not gold, silver or jewelry, but some simple old objects.
Some baby clothes, bottles for feeding children, small toys, some small objects such as small shells... some truly valuable things for a father.
"Old sir, this is your treasure, and I have sent it back here."
Luo Qiu said softly: "You said that you hope you can be buried here... your last wish has been fulfilled."
The white ball of light slowly rose from the ground, as flawless as if it had been washed by running water for a thousand years, and finally fell into the boss's palm.
…
"Do you think I just do boring things?"
Sitting in front of the beach of Haibei Island, the sea water was barely able to reach Luo Qiu's side, but on the moist sand, the maid lady was standing barefoot against the sea breeze.
After hearing the master's words, Youye turned around and said with a smile: "It's mainly the master's wish, there is nothing boring."
Luo Qiu thought for a while and said, "Old shopkeeper, how long did it take you to eliminate all your feelings?"
"Youye doesn't know." The maid said softly: "But from the moment I woke up, the previous boss has been like this."
Boss Luo suddenly remembered something that Black Soul No. 9 said, and looked at You Ye and said calmly: "I found...it seems like it can't peel me anymore."
"Altar?" The maid lady was slightly surprised.
Luo Qiu shook his head and nodded again. It seemed that even the maid lady, a doll with a history of more than 300 years, could not fully understand the complexity.
Boss Luo finally said thoughtfully: "Or maybe it's just an illusion... But at least I feel that my direction is not wrong. As long as it complies with the rules..."
"Master, what did you just say?" The maid cast a doubtful look at this moment, "Youye seems to be unable to hear you."
Luo Qiu was stunned. With Youye's ability, it was impossible to say that his voice could not be heard... That was the only possibility.
Even You Ye...isn't he qualified to listen to the conversation between me and 'you'?
Luo Qiu looked at the edge of the sky.
A strong feeling of loneliness quietly came to his mind, and his consciousness seemed to be withdrawn in an instant, and the small island in front of him began to quickly become smaller.
The sea, the earth, the sky...everything began to shrink.
In the end, there was only a naturally rotating world in front of him. At this time, he seemed to be able to glimpse countless creatures in this world at the same time.
Even in this self-rotating world, there are many twisted places... They are entangled with the rotation of the world, and they also rotate independently.
One thought enveloped everything.
…
At the same time, in a cave on a mountain peak in the distant Jerusalem, a rugged old man with white hair slowly walked out. Before he took a step, he seemed to be squeezing out the little life left in him. He looked extremely
of hardship.
In front of the cave, the old man stared at the sky for a long time before he sighed slowly and murmured to himself like a sigh: "It's too fast... You're too fast... But it's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
.”
The old man returned to the cave again. There was nothing here except an ancient music box placed in front of the stone bed. The old man opened it, listened to the crisp sound, and murmured in his sleep: "If I could have walked like this before,
If there is a road...that would be great..."
…
In front of the beach, You Ye's voice reached Luo Qiu's ears again, causing his consciousness to fall to countless levels in an instant, and finally returned to his body.
The sound of sea water washing and the sound of wind made everything become tangible again.
"Master, what happened?" Youye looked at Luo Qiu with slight horror.
Luo Qiu shook his head, stood up, smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, I just thought about something and was a little distracted."
The maid lady cast a doubtful look again.
Luo Qiu just chuckled, "I'll think about it and do another boring thing..."
As he spoke, Luo Qiu turned around and stared at the woods of the island. At this moment, his body rose into the air... The body of the maid was also lifted up by something and followed Luo Qiu.
In the sky, a huge cloud layer began to form, blocking the entire island.
A hundred meters above the sea level, Luo Qiu stretched out his hand and pressed lightly towards the small island. The small soil slope where the few old trees in the island forest were located was the center point, with a diameter of about two hundred meters. At this time, the
sink.
The resulting earthquake caused the seawater around the island to surge crazily... It wasn't until this area finally sank into the earth that the seawater outside the island turned into huge water columns from all directions, pouring into the sunken area.
in the space.
After a long time, the sea water has filled this place and turned into a small 'lake' within an island.
"No matter what you want, as long as you can pay us enough, then, no matter whether it is good or bad, whether you are a good person or a bad person in life, we will achieve it for you."
Looking at the lake in the island, Luo Qiu said calmly: "Right or wrong, since you chose to remain silent, I will give you this final grave."
He has committed indelible crimes, and he also has the respect of everyone on the White Jade.
Ugliness and glory at the same time.
"Your secrets will be buried here forever...guest."
With that said, Luo Qiu took out the old pocket watch and threw it towards the small lake on the island.
There seemed to be a slight sound of falling into the water. The moment it fell into the water, the huge force broke open the clasp of the pocket watch, and the opened pocket watch sank slowly in the water.
On one side is an old, yellowed and faded photo.
And on one side is time, time that has stopped: October 2, 1987, nineteen o'clock, twenty-three minutes, and forty-seven seconds.
Everything about Mu Enli sank silently into the deep sea.
