On July 12, 2002, I used the pretext of a gathering to call together all my childhood friends who had come on the ship with me. I put sleeping pills in their drinks. That night, except for me, they should have all been sleeping like logs.
However, at midnight, Song Hao, who had been asleep, suddenly sat up straight. His expression was ferocious, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Those are not the eyes that a normal human being should have.
I was terrified.
He picked up the knife from the table.
It circled around all of us.
Finally, it stopped beside Zhou Wu.
Suddenly, he plunged the knife into Zhou Wu's neck.
I didn't even have time to stop it.
I could feel hot blood splashing on my body.
I don't know why Song Hao wanted to kill Zhou Wu.
Just as I was about to get up, I suddenly noticed that Song Hao's head had suddenly split open.
Like a blooming fleshy flower, it was divided into four petals.
It swallowed Zhou Wu's head whole.
I suddenly remembered a legend about this sea.
The slit-mouthed siren.
Legend has it that once it boards a ship, it will devour everything on board.
I don't know why Song Hao turned out this way.
However, I know that if we don't kill it, the crew members on the ship will become its meal.
At the time, I didn't know where the power came from.
I stood up and fired six shots at Song Hao's body with my revolver.
On July 13, 2002, Song Hao and Zhou Wu died. I threw their bodies into the sea. The crew asked me where they were. I knew I couldn't hide it anymore, so I told them the truth to put their minds at ease, because I had killed the Slit-Mouthed Sea Monster.
[On July 14, 2002, I don't know why, the crew members were still disappearing. Everyone was going crazy, and trust between people was beginning to crumble. I was thinking, maybe I shouldn't have told them the truth.]
[On July 16, 2002, half of the people on the ship died in the past two nights. The fleet, which originally had more than 100 people, now has less than 30 people left. Zhao Jin also died in the civil war last night. My heart is sad.]
May the sea god protect us and help us land quickly.
[...]
Bloodstains began to appear on the later pages of the diary.
The handwriting on it also started to become less neat and became increasingly messy.
[July 30, 2002, dense fog, hahaha, dead, all dead. I don't know where the ship drifted to. All the food on board disappeared. Every night there were sounds of flesh being devoured. The three black cats grew stronger and stronger...]
[July 31, 2002. Still foggy. Those three black cats have been staring at me all day, their eyes like they're eyeing prey. I shot at them, but missed. I knew death was drawing ever closer; I could already hear its footsteps.]
This concludes my diary entry.
There are a few more pages.
Ye Li flipped through it casually.
Until the very last page.
A few words were written crookedly in blood.
Destroy this ship immediately.
Watch your back.
Ye Li's heart tightened suddenly, and a chill ran down his spine.
Before he could even turn around, the longsword in his hand had already pierced towards the top of his head like lightning.
"brush!"
A flash of sword light.
Ye Li hurriedly looked up at the top of his head, where a wisp of green smoke was slowly dissipating.
A gust of cold wind blew out of the room.
Hehehe~
Hehehehehe~
"......"
A sharp, eerie laugh echoed through the cabin.
The gray smoke that had been spread on the ground suddenly swirled up as if disturbed by something, like a raging gray whirlwind that instantly filled the entire cabin.
"Master, there's a ghost!" the little stone monkey cried out.
"Don't be afraid. If it dares to come, we'll make sure it can't even be a ghost."
Ye Li snorted coldly.
Purple-gold flames rose from his body.
The silver lightning pulsed incessantly.
