Chapter 224: The Pirate Captain Returns
As the speedboat sped along, a tiny outline of Haigong Temple appeared in the distance on the sea level. According to the current distance, it was clearly just a black dot the size of a soybean, but the moment it appeared, Pubu Gesang and others as well as the audience in front of the screen frowned.
The moment I saw it, a feeling of fear and a desire to escape arose in my chest, a bit like how humans would instinctively close their eyes and dodge when they see something sharp pointed at their eyes. It is an instinctive warning of hidden danger engraved in their biological genes.
The special forces soldier in charge of driving the speedboat obviously also noticed this instinctive resistance. He frowned, but the speedboat did not slow down and continued to move forward at a constant speed.
During the years of training he had gone through, he had been training himself to have the physique and courage to defy biological instincts.
Pubugesang lowered his sun-shaped sunglasses halfway to reveal his round eyes. “This place is indeed weird. It looks wrong even from a distance.”
Miao Yue hummed and picked up the telescope beside her to observe in detail.
Mu Xingchen leaned over to watch together.
Qi Gu and Lin Hanzhi turned a deaf ear to this. Qi Gu picked up a fishing net with a long pole that was casually placed on the deck, hung it beside the fast-moving speedboat and paddled in the sea water a few times - he obviously had no talent for catching fish, and after paddling for half a day he only managed to catch a mineral water bottle.
[This Haigong Temple is really uncomfortable to look at, much more uncomfortable than the previous places. It feels evil even watching it through the screen, just like the feeling when my boss was trying to find fault with me and deduct my salary a few days before salary payment]
[I have now covered that area with a napkin]
【I also】
I feel okay? Is this a psychological effect?]
Qi Gu put down the fishing net and glanced at the screen, saying, "Everyone has a different body constitution, so what they can feel is naturally different. Some people have a more yin constitution, so they can feel more, while some people are born with strong yang energy, so they can feel less. This is why some people often feel sleep paralysis while others have never experienced this."
【Learned】
[It seems that I am one of those people with sufficient Yang energy. Does that mean I can live for a long time? 】
[That's right, dear. When a ghost is strong enough, even if you can't sense it, it won't stop it from killing you.]
[…You upstairs]
[How can dying without knowing it not be considered a benefit? Euthanasia costs hundreds of thousands (lightly)]
Currently, public opinion on the Internet regarding ghosts is roughly divided into two camps. One camp believes that the world will be in chaos and ghosts will run rampant, while the other camp believes that the former is talking nonsense and increasing anxiety.
The few netizens just mentioned obviously belong to the former.
However, before something actually happens, the latter will always have evidence to support it.
[If you can live, live. If you can’t, die… Going to work is annoying anyway]
【Upstairs Play Me】
[So you don’t care that Gugu only caught a mineral water bottle after ten attempts? 】
[Gugu, it’s normal. His luck is always outrageous.]
[Wait... isn't this what we got? 】
[Oh my, could it be that Gugu’s luck has changed? 】
Upon hearing this, the audience looked towards the screen and saw Qi Gu energetically collecting the net with his eyes wide open and his anticipation very obvious. As the fishing net was completely retrieved and placed on the deck, the drone was finally able to take a full picture of what was inside - it was a transparent jellyfish that looked an awful lot like an unfolding peach blossom.
Qi Gu's fingertips were eager to try, and he leaned over and pulled the crooked fishing net a few times, wanting to take a more complete picture of the moon jellyfish.
[What are you doing, you silly girl! 】
[Emm, I really shouldn’t have overestimated Gugu’s luck]
[Fuck, I'm so unlucky that I can actually catch the rare moon jellyfish in this kind of sea]
[For those who don’t understand, this jellyfish is extremely poisonous and can kill people. Don’t touch it if you see it.]
At this moment, millions of viewers cheered sharply in front of the screen.
I thought to myself, what if Gugu wasn't defeated by the evil spirit, but instead got into trouble because of bad luck and caught a poisonous jellyfish...that would be a huge mistake.
However, this speculation is not actually true. Qi Gu just thought that the jellyfish was beautiful. After looking at it for a few more times, he threw it back into the sea.
Then he raised his eyes, staring at the sparkling deep blue sea, and said, "Did you notice that since we left the sea area where the human-faced snail is, there have been more marine life, but when we get closer to the Haigong Temple, the marine life has begun to decrease sharply."
He was fishing with a fishing net just now, not because he was addicted to fishing, but because he was observing the surrounding environment and getting clues.
[I really thought Gugu was so relaxed that he could still catch fish when he was close to his destination, hahaha]
【I also】
[After all, this is not the first or second time]
Just as the audience began to overturn their previous assumptions, they heard Qi Gu continue to say: "It's not bad to experience the fishing project in the sea. It's much more cost-effective than the game in the mall where you can only fish three times for 20 yuan and the fishing net is very small."
Lin Hanzhi said: "If you like, I will ask them to equip it with a large fishing net after I buy the yacht."
By then, even if Qi Gu was blind, he would be able to catch a few fish.
[Okay, okay, I’ll let you guys show off your affection again]
[Not only showing affection, but also showing off wealth (gritting teeth)]
[The person upstairs is showing his teeth, send it to Pan Hong]
[So Gugu's fishing is killing two birds with one stone, right? He saved twenty dollars and observed the surrounding environment at the same time ()]
[Going back upstairs, Gugu swung the pole eleven times in total, so he probably saved eighty strokes.]
[You guys really are (holding your forehead and smiling bitterly)]
[Wait, did you see that? There seemed to be a flash of silver in the water just now. Was it a fish? 】
Qi Gu also stared at the flash of silver light and subconsciously looked at Lin Hanzhi.
Lin Hanzhi understood his meaning smoothly, and then picked up the fishing net and plunged it into the water. A few seconds later, a fish with a silver-white color like flowing light and a tail like the hem of a skirt was caught by him.
It was not another fish, but an old and familiar fish of Qi Gu - the blind fish.
The blind fish was placed in a plastic bucket, and the water attached to its scales floated out, greeting the people in a low voice.
The blind fish said in a clear and lively voice: "Long time no see, human. Are you here for tourism as well? If so, please stop the boat quickly. There is something wrong with the temple over there."
Without waiting for Qi Gu to speak, the blind fish proudly swung its beautiful tail and showed off: "Shui Shui and I have traveled to many places during this period. We swam along the rivers and all the way to the sea. Along the way, we saw many landscapes that we had never seen before, big ships, tall buildings, and very long cars..."
Blind Fish is a talkative fish. After Shui Shui came out, she talked even more.
Shui Shui was still wearing the one-eyed pirate eye patch that Mu Xingchen had given her. Seeing that Blind Fish had just said a few words and then started to change the subject, she couldn't help but say, "Okay, let's talk about this later."
Then he looked at Qi Gu and said, "Brother, it's very dangerous ahead. The shore there is full of those red conches. We have seen them clinging to the skin of sharks and hunting a shark. It doesn't take long for them to eat a shark clean, leaving only a skeleton."
