Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a person to drown himself. When the head is submerged in the water to a certain depth, the body will instinctively struggle to get out of the water.

Therefore, the act of holding someone's head down to drown them requires a lot of strength, because that is when the person's struggle is the strongest.

However, Captain Gustav actually drowned himself by holding his own head.

This is really weird.

Lu Ban did some more searching and found that among those who had experienced the Allure incident, the rates of mental disorder, self-harm and suicide were quite high. Some experts believed that the depressing atmosphere at the time led to mental illness. Some victims' families also organized protests, trying to get more compensation from the owner of the cruise ship. Some were found to be scammers pretending to be mentally ill, making the whole incident even more confusing.

As for the rumors about the ghost ship, they became popular some time ago. Lu Ban discovered some suspected film and television materials, photos, etc., but some of them looked fake at first glance and were synthesized by PS. Some of them were hard to tell whether they were real ghost ships or just disguised using the previous photos of the Stars.

The reason why the legend of the ghost ship is popular is mainly because the incident of the Starship has too many doubts and has not attracted much attention.

The production of the film is still proceeding in an orderly manner. In addition to studying film, Lu Ban also learned about the culture, beliefs, history and geography of the Pacific Rim.

Pohnpei Island is located in the western Pacific Ocean, north of the Solomon Islands. It is a volcanic island. The island retains the Nan Madol ruins dating back 700 years. These ruins are composed of huge basalt pillars, each weighing between five and fifty tons. At that time, it took 600 years to mine such pillars, and at least 1,000 years to transport and build them. It is hard to imagine how these buildings were completed.

After all, this building, which is as difficult to build as the pyramids, is not located in the vast desert of the Egyptian Kingdom, but on a small island. The lack of manpower is enough to make construction extremely difficult.

Moreover, among these ruins, there are still remains of buildings from 200 BC. The newer buildings were built on the remains of these buildings. The architectural styles of the two are very different, and they seem to come from two completely different civilizations. However, according to the records on the island, there have only been the Sauderer people here from beginning to end.

According to local legend, the megalithic structures on the islands originated from a powerful wizard who could manipulate objects, causing these megaliths to fly here and automatically form buildings.

In a documentary from the 1990s, researchers tried all kinds of modern methods to move the huge stones, but it was difficult. There was also a story that during the war, a soldier broke into a tomb in the ruins, but died suddenly the next day.

In short, the island itself is quite mysterious, so it seems not surprising that something would happen.

In early July, all the universities started their holidays, but the business hours of the back street of Jiangcheng University did not change. There are several residential areas nearby, and even if there are no students, residents in the communities often come here to consume, which is enough to support the store's opening costs.

What's more, there are still some students staying in school, so it's not that deserted.

At this time every year, campus ghost stories start to become prevalent again. Fortunately, this year's Jiangcheng University graduation went smoothly, and there were no students committing suicide by jumping off the building like last year.

Lu Ban packed up his things and sent messages to a few acquaintances, especially asking Qin Tiantian to keep an eye on everyone and tell them not to work too hard, and then came to Jiangcheng Airport.

The weather in Jiangcheng in July is already very hot and humid, and it is hard to imagine life without air conditioning.

Feng Yu was wearing a sea-colored skirt, and looked no different from the tourists at the airport who were preparing to go on vacation. Whenever this happened, Lu Ban would ignore the fact that she was not human.

"Where's your luggage?"

Lu Ban asked.

"It's already been checked in, so you should hurry up and get your boarding pass."

Feng Yu pointed to the area for checking in luggage and exchanging boarding passes.

Lu Ban put his luggage into the machine.

The lady at check-in had a smile on her face, but when she saw the X-ray camera in the security check, her smile suddenly froze.

"What's this?"

She pointed to something with a long pole in Lu Ban's box.

"It's a crowbar."

Lu Ban answered without hesitation.

“Why do you need to bring a crowbar when you travel?”

The young lady was stunned and asked.

"Can't I put this in my suitcase on board?"

Lu Ban looked at the list of prohibited items on the sign above his head and confirmed that there was no crowbar.

"Well, not really..."

The young lady checked in Lu Ban with suspicion. At the end, she stared at Lu Ban's back for a long time as he left.

Lu Ban and Feng Yu walked towards the boarding gate while chatting.

When going through security check, Lu Ban threw his backpack into the security check machine, took off his coat, put his cell phone and other items in the basket, and walked to the staff in charge of security check.

drop--

The machine in the security guy's hand made a prompt sound. It was the metal buckle on Lu Ban's belt.

Just as he was about to let Lu Ban go, he caught a glimpse of the X-ray screen on the security machine.

In Lu Ban's backpack, in addition to the usual spare clothes, chargers, etc., there is also a suona.

"Suona?"

He had a question mark in his mind.

However, musical instruments were not contraband, so he did not ask any further questions.

There are no direct flights from Jiangcheng to Pohnpei. You need to transfer from Jiangcheng to Guam first, and then transfer to Pohnpei from there. This requires three flights. At the same time, there are only three flights from Guam to Pohnpei per week, which is quite rare.

For this reason, facing the long journey, Lu Ban decisively chose the first class cabin.

You only need to spend an extra six thousand yuan to enjoy the highest level of service, which is very cost-effective.

There is also a VIP waiting room in the first-class cabin, where Lu Ban enjoyed a simple meal and then took a look at the weather conditions.

"It was sunny all the way, and it looked like we were lucky."

Typhoons in the southwest Pacific mostly occur from November to April of the following year, which is exactly the opposite of the northern hemisphere. The western Pacific in July should be clear and mild.

"I hope so."

Feng Yu didn't eat anything. He didn't know whether it was because his wound had not healed yet or he simply felt that the food was greasy.

Anyway, Lu Ban had the mentality that if he didn't eat it, it would be a waste, so he ate a little.

Thanks to the fine weather, the plane checked in on time, and the two boarded the plane, traveling from Jiangcheng to the island country, and then transferring from the island country to Guam.

The first class cabin is relatively quiet and has more personal space. Compared to the economy class cabin where even sitting down feels crowded, you can even lie down and take a shower in the first class cabin, which is truly a pleasure.

After Lu Ban had his lunch on the plane, a rather sumptuous meal of island cuisine, he prepared to take a short nap.

But just as he lay down and closed his eyes, Lu Ban heard Feng Yu from next door come into his single room.

"Something's wrong on the plane."

Feng Yu's voice was very soft.
