Chapter 153 Ghost Ship
Qin Muxue's heart was pounding. Just as she was about to answer, there was another knock on the door. Her good time was interrupted and Shi Yan could only show a disappointed expression.
"It's okay, we'll have plenty of time later."
Qin Muxue opened the door and it turned out to be Qu Yanbai. Seeing the two people blushing, he realized that he had disturbed them. "I am a big light bulb, and I really ruined your good things."
Qin Muxue said with a smile: "If it's not a very important matter, I will beat you up."
"It's really important. There are a lot of ice blocks on the sea ahead. If we follow the established route, it will be difficult for us to get through. But after Mu Wanwan communicated with the whale, the whale said it would take us to an island. It's not a problem for us to wander on the sea, so I wanted to ask for your opinion."
Qin Muxue followed him to the cockpit and looked at the sea not far away through a telescope. As expected, she found that the temperature of that sea area had begun to return to normal. The closer they got to the sea area, the colder they could feel.
If you insist on following the planned route, you really don’t know what will happen.
The two whales beside the ship had been wandering around the ship with their little whale. If they wanted to harm them, it would be easy for them. Now that they wanted to repay their kindness, Qin Muxue thought it would be better to do as they wish.
To be fair, she still held a vote, called everyone together, and informed them of their current situation. "So now I want to ask everyone, should we follow the whales' instructions and sail in the direction they are pointing? This time we will adopt the majority voting method, in favor of or against."
Some people below were wondering if it would be too dangerous to follow the whale's instructions, while others thought that continuing on would be a dead end, so it would be better to follow the whale's instructions.
In the end, there were more supporters than opponents, so they decided to change the direction of their voyage and head west. During this time, Mu Wanwan would communicate with the whales.
The endless ocean is connected with the sky. There is no island in sight. It seems that the whole world is submerged by the sea.
Until one day, they finally saw a large ship approaching.
At first, everyone was a little excited, but after thinking about it carefully, they began to doubt because they didn't know whether the other side was an enemy or a friend.
Captain Wei reminded everyone, "Don't be too happy yet, let's try to see if we can contact them by radio."
There was no response from the radio until the evening, when a distress signal was sent out from the radio. The sound inside was extremely noisy, and there seemed to be strange screams.
"It's very strange. I suggest that we should not approach that ship. No matter if there are people on it or if there is any danger, we should still put our own people first."
However, there are always some kind-hearted people who think that they should rescue them. "After all, they are all the same kind. If we just ignore them, we will feel guilty."
Qin Muxue did not object. "If you want to go and save them, I won't stop you, but only those of you who are willing to go can go. Those who are unwilling to go can stay."
After hearing this, those people with a naive heart stopped talking. They only needed to talk, but this concerned the lives of everyone on the ship.
And the ship seemed to have gravity, getting closer and closer to them, and the closest one almost hit their ship.
They could not observe any situation on the ship from the deck, as if the ship was shrouded in a layer of fog.
"What should we do now? This ship has come to our door on its own."
What's worse, the spiral angle of the ship seemed to be entangled by something and it could only move forward by relying on the waves.
There are two problems they must solve now. One is the mysterious ship in front of them, and the other is the algae-like thing inside the propeller.
Shi Yan decided to go down in a diving suit to see what was going on below.
Ever since he sobered up on his wedding day, Shi Yan remembered his rude behavior when he was drunk and had not dared to face Qin Muxue. Every time Qin Muxue wanted to tell him about what happened that day, he would always change the subject. Therefore, although the two of them lived in the same room, they were like roommates sharing bunk beds and there was no substantial breakthrough.
But just like Shi Yan said, there is a long time to come. Qin Muxue didn't have much opinion on this. Instead, she found it very funny every time she saw his awkward look.
Now that Shi Yan was about to go into the water, Qin Muxue was extremely nervous. She felt that the things underwater were not simple. "Why not let me go? I can control the sea water and won't suffer so much."
After the two argued for a long time, Qu Yanbai suggested, "Why don't you two go down together? That way you can have someone to look after you."
Finally, the two of them put on diving suits and oxygen tanks and decided to go down together to see the situation.
The two of them grew up in coastal cities and are both good at swimming.
When they arrived at the propeller, they found a black hair-like thing entangled in it. Qin Muxue gestured to Shi Yan to drag the black thing out.
Shi Yan wanted to pull it away, but he could always feel a strange gaze staring at them.
They were clearly at the bottom of the sea, so why was someone watching them...
Qin Muxue couldn't help but get goose bumps on her back, and she also felt that there was danger around her.
The mysterious ship actually drifted towards them and almost hit them. Shi Yan dragged Qin Muxue to the side and the two of them survived.
At this time, they could see black filaments gradually growing from the hull and slowly approaching their ship. The black mass they originally saw seemed to be this.
It seems that there is a problem with their ship. It is not a problem with the ship itself, but this "ghost ship" will not let them leave.
Qin Muxue hadn't seen the whale that had been following them for a whole day.
The black line seemed to sense their presence and gradually moved closer to them.
Shi Yan wanted to cut these black lines, but once they touched them, these black lines seemed to grow wildly and almost surrounded them.
Qin Muxue immediately used her special ability, and the two of them floated up along the current, "Quick, pull us up."
As soon as it left the water, the black line disappeared immediately, but Qin Muxue still remembered the feeling of being entangled by the black line and almost suffocated. She and Shi Yan were almost killed by the black line.
She took a few breaths and said, "Sure enough, it's because of that ship."
There are too many unknown things on the seabed, and their movements are inconvenient.
Mu Wanwan swallowed and said, "This ship is really scary. It feels like a ghost ship. Are there ghosts inside?" she asked timidly.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started to get nervous. After all, Qin Muxue and Shi Yan both said that this ship was very strange and they were almost dragged down by this black line.
"Could it be some water ghost?"
The water ghosts they are talking about are what people call water monkeys, which are the ghosts of drowned people. According to folklore, water monkeys have enormous and mysterious power in the water. They will catch people who fall into the water and drag them to the bottom of the water, causing them to suffocate to death. It is even said that water monkeys suck human blood and eat human nails and eyeballs.
When this was mentioned, several older people became superstitious. "There was indeed such a rumor in the village before. We can't beat this water monkey."
Qin Muxue shook her head. From what she saw it didn't look like a water monkey. If it were that kind of thing it would be easy to deal with. But it was probably a creature that was more difficult to deal with than a water monkey.
Shi Yan had just lifted Qin Muxue up and was choked by a few mouthfuls of sea water. His face was pale now. Qin Muxue patted his back and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay. I think if we want to find out what it is, we must first go to that ship and find the cause."
But when looking at the ship, everyone felt an inexplicable fear in their hearts, exuding a strange atmosphere.
Manman checked their bodies and found that there was nothing serious.
But she also felt a little uneasy about the ship that was so close. "Why don't we try to destroy the ship with weapons? I wonder if it will work?"
She really didn't want to let the people around her take risks again. Besides, this ship was so strange that it was still a question whether they could come back after going on board.
“You can try.”
Anyway, they have no other choice now, so they can only try to use munitions to see if they can destroy the ship.
When Qu Yanbai tried to shoot at the ship, he found that the bullet went straight through the hull, but the ship was not damaged at all, as if the ship did not actually exist.
Everyone on the boat was dumbfounded. No one could think of any other reason except that it was a ghost.
Qu Yanbai tried firing a few more shots, but there was still no response, and he didn't know where the bullets hit.
At this time, everyone discovered that the sea area they were in was filled with fog and they could no longer tell the direction. The direction pointer kept spinning and they had no idea when they had arrived at a mysterious sea area.
"What is this place?"
They didn't see it clearly just now. Now the sky was gradually getting brighter and everything around them was hazy. They looked up and found that the Hell Star had disappeared.
Qin Muxue stared at the sky in a daze, "Does this mean that we are no longer in the original time and space..."
Due to the magnetic field, the sea is very prone to chaos. After experiencing so many things, it is very likely that they have come to other time and space.
I just don’t know what era they have arrived in, but Qin Muxue can be sure that it is definitely the time and space when Hell Star did not appear.
While everyone was surprised, they saw music coming from the ship next to them and the sound of cheering from the crowd, as if someone was having a party.
"This is so scary, is it really a ghost?" Mu Wanwan hid behind Qin Muxue. It was her first time encountering a supernatural thing, and she was so scared that her voice was shaking.
The older people began to recite scriptures.
"What on earth is going on?"
It seems that their only option now is to go up and find out what's going on.
"Shi Yan is right. Our only option now is to go up and see what's going on."
Perhaps when the hulls came together, they were no longer in the original time and space.
Qin Muxue planned to go up with Shi Yan to take a look. Manman was worried and wanted to go with them, but was rejected by Qin Muxue, "Do you think you can go with us in your current physical condition?"
Qu Yanbai consoled them, "I'll go with you. Manman, you stay here for now. The ship is at least safe now. Captain Wei, I'll leave everything up to you."
"Okay, I'll take good care of them."
Mu Wanwan volunteered, "Take me with you. I want to go with you. Maybe I can help."
Although Mu Wanwan was very scared, she still wanted to go with Qin Muxue to see it all. She was very interested in these mysterious events, and after seeing it with her own eyes this time, her curiosity overcame her fear.
"Okay, let's go together."
As for the other psychics who stayed behind, some of them wanted to follow, but this time Qu Yanbai did not agree, "You guys stay for now. If you encounter any danger, you still have the ability to resist."
If all the output went with them, the safety of those on the ship would not be guaranteed.
After being fully prepared, they stepped onto the deck of another ship.
As soon as they stepped on it, everyone felt a chill, and the originally lively music also became quiet at this time.
There seemed to be some kind of party going on on the deck. Men and women were dancing, but the moment the music stopped, everyone stopped moving and stared at the uninvited guests.
Qu Yanbai was standing there at this time, not knowing whether to retreat or move forward. Instead, Shi Yan walked in front of him and came into the crowd on his own.
Nothing unusual was found from a distance, but when looking closely, one could see that these people all had pale faces and dull eyes, and they were just staring at them according to their movements.
This feeling made Mu Wanwan, who was seeing this kind of scene for the first time, shudder. "No, it can't really be a ghost ship. Why are the people on this ship so strange?"
They are clearly a group of brightly dressed young people, but why do I feel so creepy?
Mu Wanwan greeted them stiffly, "Hi, hello."
Because at first Mu Wanwan thought that this group of people were looking at them, but after she greeted them, this group of people still stared at the place behind her.
At this time, Shi Yan also understood that this group of young people at the party were not looking at them, but at someone who was standing where they were.
One of the young men came up to them and said with a wry smile, "How dare you come here? Aren't the punishments we gave you before enough? Do you want to try some more intense punishments? Oh, I forgot to mention that your girlfriend has a great figure. It's a pity for me to enjoy her alone." The young man waved his hand, and several people brought over a woman with a good figure, "Entertain his girlfriend well in front of him!"
This group of men were touching the woman all over, but no one around was helping. They just watched the scene and even laughed in a mocking manner.
Until the woman's few clothes were violently pulled off, and because she kept struggling, the man slapped her hard. Blood flowed from the corner of her mouth and she shouted, "Ziping, save me! Save me!"
As she shouted, tears welled up in her eyes, "Don't let these people touch me!"
The man standing in their position should be Zi Ping. It is not known how Zi Ping reacted, but the woman finally said disappointedly: "Ziping, I don't want to go on like this." Her hands and feet were restrained, and seeing that the man was about to succeed, the woman bit his ear hard, then ran towards the bow of the ship, but was caught by several young women.
These women knew that once she died, one of them would be tortured, so it would be better to let her continue to suffer.
"You can't die." The two women dragged her hair and threw her back into the group of men.
Mu Wanwan couldn't bear to watch it. She wanted to step forward to stop them, but she passed through the bodies of these people. Only then did she realize that all this was an illusion and they could not change anything that happened here.
Just like the man named Zi Ping, they could only watch helplessly as a group of men bullied a weak woman.
The sharp screams echoed in Qin Muxue's ears. She could no longer bear such a scene. "Do you remember an incident reported on TV before the disaster? This incident was quite famous."
Shi Yan and Qu Yanbai shook their heads. They didn't care about this kind of news at all, so naturally they had no impression of it.
Mu Wanwan seemed to have an impression. "Well, I remember that the rich second generation took his friends out to sea, and then all the people on the boat disappeared. A total of 26 people were missing. The rich second generation's family spent a lot of money and time looking for the ship, but they had no clues. It became a famous case at the time. So, the ship we are standing on now is..."
Mu Wanwan felt colder and colder. Thinking of what she had just done, her scalp began to numb. "So, what is going on now?"
"The magnetic field on the ocean is inherently unstable, so some mysterious events often occur. Perhaps this ship accidentally came to another space, which is the space where we are standing now." Qin Muxue explained but felt something was wrong. If this was the case, why could they hear and see what happened on the ship before? What was it like in reality?
"Perhaps, from the moment we stepped onto this ship, some of us have already been chosen..."
Qu Yanbai stretched out his hand and found that he could touch the man in front of him, "Li Ziping, are you tired of living? Do you want to stop it?"
A huge force pulled him over, and she felt like she was being stepped on, but she couldn't stop it.
Fists rained down on him, and several men beat him mercilessly. The rich second generation was still not satisfied, "Aren't you very good and powerful? Why do you become a coward when you come here?"
Qu Yanbai didn't react at all to what happened. Instead, Qin Muxue suddenly remembered, "There is a special power called reincarnation space. If the chosen person doesn't break it, he will be in reincarnation forever until he has a mental breakdown. We can't touch the people here. Qu Yanbai is the chosen one!"
"You've been talking so much nonsense. Tell me how to break this cycle!"
Qu Yanbai is obviously a strong man of 190cm, but now he is suppressed and unable to move.
"If we want to break the reincarnation cycle, we must find out who is the supernatural being in the reincarnation space!" Qin Muxue vaguely remembered this, "Yes, we must find him out."
Mu Wanwan asked in a trembling voice: "Isn't it this man called Li Ziping? Otherwise, how could Captain Qu become Li Ziping."
"It shouldn't be. This person must be among them." She pointed at all the people in the cabin, both men and women, a total of twenty-six people, who were like a big puzzle to them.
The current Qu Yanbai is Li Ziping. Li Ziping was originally about 180cm tall and quite strong, but facing the siege of several men, he had no power to resist. He raised his head, glared at the rich second generation viciously, and spat at him angrily, "Coward, what else can you do besides bullying women? Come and beat me up if you dare! Let those people beat me up!"
This was purely because of Qu Yanbai's sense of justice. He couldn't bear to see a woman being bullied. It seemed that this woman and Li Ziping were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. No one could stand watching his girlfriend being bullied.
"Hahaha, you're really funny. What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me? It doesn't matter how I torture you. You can't resist anyway."
Who knew that Qu Yanbai exploded at this moment? He pushed aside several men around him, rushed to the position of the rich second generation, and pinched his neck hard, "Let her go quickly, or I will kill you."
"Hehe, you actually treat me like this, aren't you afraid... aren't you afraid that your girlfriend will be killed by me?" Even when facing death, the rich second generation still had a mocking smile on his face.
Qu Yanbai was moved by Li Ziping's emotions and tears flowed down her face. She hesitated for just a second before being controlled by other men.
The rich second generation laughed out loud, not angry at all, and even found it somewhat amusing, "You love her so much, I'm going to play a game now!"
Seeing that everything on the ship had entered a white-hot stage, Mu Wanwan asked anxiously, "Is it Li Ziping's girlfriend, the woman named Cong Ning? She hates the people here very much. It is very likely that she will activate her supernatural powers and let all the people who hurt her die here."
Qin Muxue tried to walk to the person called Cong Ning, but her body was still virtual. "Never mind, let's try one by one. The one we touch that is real should be the person!"
This is probably the stupidest way, but also the most efficient way at present. However, Shi Yan knows that it will not be that simple.
If you really meet that person, there will definitely be a fierce fight.
They tried everyone and found that they were all virtual.
Shi Yan lowered his eyes, as if he suddenly remembered something, "There is a twenty-seventh person on the ship!"
