Chapter 29 Self-rescue
The biggest difference between ghosts and humans in legend is that they have no shadows.
After all, no one has ever seen a ghost, and we cannot arbitrarily judge Wang Gui to be a ghost just because he has no shadow.
But one thing is certain.
Wang Gui is different from them. The role he plays in this test is not just as simple as a guide.
Liu Jianan's brain is working rapidly, his face is calm, and he eats normally like everyone else.
Someone at the table couldn't sit still: "It's a mess outside, how can you still eat? Anyway, I'm leaving!"
He raised his fist and swung it at Wang Gui.
Wang Gui took a step back, and the man's fist landed in the air, but he had violated the third rule that Wang Gui and his daughter are not allowed to attack.
A flash of white light passed by, and he disappeared without a trace.
Everyone present felt a chill down their spine when they saw this scene, and they couldn't even eat.
Who knows whether that person has returned to the real world, or just died quietly.
"An An, it's a good thing you reminded me not to break the rules." Hu Jianye was terrified.
He was a person who couldn't stand loneliness. If Liu Jianan hadn't reminded him to follow the rules, he would definitely not be able to control his desire to go out for a walk.
Zhang Wenqian whispered, "The rules here are so overbearing. I don't know what tricks they will use to make things difficult for us next."
Liu Jianan knew in his heart that the punishment for violating the rules was not as severe as everyone thought. That person was just sent out.
I don't know if that person will regret it in the future when he finds out that the longer he stays, the more benefits it will bring to his body.
Those who were ready to make some moves, after seeing the man's fate, also stopped and concentrated on eating. After
everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Wang Gui waved his hand again, and all the leftovers were taken away.
"Everyone, please enjoy the moonlight on the boat." He bowed slightly and walked past the crowd back to the cabin.
Some people wanted to follow him to find out what was going on, but were stopped by others: "The rules say that you can't go back to the cabin after the sun sets!"
"Then he went back?"
"He's different from us. He might be the one who made the rules, so of course he doesn't have to abide by the rules."
Make the rules?
Liu Jianan's eyes flashed with contemplation. They were in the test of Lingbao, so the owner of this ship should be the gift of Jialin River. The only one
who has the right to make the rules is the gift of Jialin River.
He is not sure whether Wang Gui is Lingbao or not, but Wang Gui must have a thousand connections with Lingbao.
Perhaps the breakthrough in finding Lingbao lies in Wang Gui.
The evening breeze on the sea is cold, and many people are wearing seasonal single clothes, which inevitably makes them feel cold.
The kind young girl releases her supernatural power to illuminate the dark night.
"My supernatural power is fire. Everyone come to me and warm up your body."
In the cold night, the girl held the flame in her hand, and the warm light reflected on her delicate features, making her more charming.
People sat around her, chatting with each other.
Soon Liu Jianan knew that the girl's name was Chang Siqin, 18 years old, and a student at a local high school.
Leisure time is always short.
Just when everyone was getting to know each other and discussing some games to play, the whole boat suddenly started to shake.
At first, it was just a little swaying, and everyone supported each other to hold on.
As the shaking became more intense, everyone gradually lost control and fell to the ground. Some people with weaker physical conditions vomited the food they had just eaten.
Seeing this, Zhang Wenqian quickly called Zhang Bao out: "Everyone hold on to the piglet, don't fall off the boat!"
Although he is a piglet, Zhang Bao is not small in weight, and he stood there as still as a mountain.
Relying on Zhang Bao's stable chassis, everyone pulled each other and finally survived the sudden turbulence.
The deck gradually became stable, but before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, a dark tentacle suddenly dropped from the sky and whipped the deck, leaving a deep whip mark.
"There's a sea monster, everyone be careful!"
Liu Jianan looked at the snarling tentacles. From his perspective, he couldn't tell what kind of sea monster it was. He could only see dozens of tentacles as tall as a person, rampaging across the deck.
Everyone hurriedly retreated to the entrance of the cabin, which was the farthest from the deck and the safest.
But they were shocked to find that even if they retreated here, the tentacles could still attack them.
Unless someone stood in front and was used as a target by the tentacles, their safety could not be guaranteed.
Liu Jianan immediately realized: "The tentacles are longer than what we have seen. If we want to survive, we have to fight."
He thought to himself, if this is part of the test, then with the gentle test method of Jialin River, it should not be difficult to deal with the sea monster.
In their group, there are ten other esper besides them.
Except for Chang Siqin's fire ability, the rest are body enhancement esper.
Body enhancement esper has a very obvious feature, the stronger the esper's own physical fitness, the greater the increase brought by the esper.
For example, Shi Yuning, relying on only a speed ability, is enough to join the ranks of the Poacher Alliance's strongmen, relying on his strong physical fitness and fighting skills.
For most ordinary people, body strengthening abilities can only help them transform into psychics and improve their physical fitness. However,
the increase in combat power is extremely limited, especially when everyone only has a level one ability.
Seeing these psychics in a mess, Liu Jianan simply gave up communicating with them, pulled Hu Jianye along, and prepared to find a breakthrough.
"You are crazy, there are so many tentacles, you don't hide but rush forward, are you going to die?"
A middle-aged man next to them saw it and quickly advised them not to go.
Liu Jianan knew that the other party had good intentions and nodded to him.
The middle-aged man's companion said, "Why do you care what they do? It's hard to persuade the damned ghosts with kind words. It's not bad to let them take the lead and explore the way for us."
Zhang Wenqian was furious when she heard this: "Hey, you look like a dog, I thought someone let you out because the chain was not locked properly."
"You!"
"What do you mean you? I'm talking about you!" Zhang Wenqian pointed at the man, "You are older than the two children combined. If you want to hide in the back like a turtle, it's your business. A turtle that lives for a thousand years will live for ten thousand years. I wish you to be a turtle that hides its head for the rest of your life!"
The barrage of words made the other party speechless.
Even the middle-aged man, with a red face, left his companions and hid aside.
"Aunt Zhang is right. At this time, we should save ourselves. Hiding is not a solution."
Chang Siqin stood firmly beside Zhang Wenqian. She looked very determined despite her frail appearance. "Although we can't do anything, we can help them attract firepower."
"I have observed the frequency of tentacles' attacks. As long as we dodge when we see the tentacles raised high, we will definitely avoid the attacks of tentacles." After
the girl finished speaking, she ran out of the safe area, followed by Zhang Wenqian and Hu Deyi.
More than a dozen people followed and rushed onto the deck. In a blink of an eye, there were only eight people left at the cabin.
Seeing that the middle-aged man was also going, his companion quickly grabbed his arm: "Old Xing, don't be silly! Let them show off if they want to, we need to save our lives."
Old Xing looked at his companion in confusion, as if he had just recognized the man in front of him on the first day: "Even little girls know to save themselves. We are both over 40 years old. Are we not as good as a little girl?"
"Old Xing!"
"I can't be as cold-blooded as you. Take care of yourself."
As Old Xing rushed to the deck, a thick tentacle quietly drilled out from the cabin and rolled all the remaining seven people into the cabin.
"Ahhh!"
The seven people only had time to scream before they were dragged into the endless darkness.
