Chapter 11: The Clouds Disperse, the Ghostly World
Of the six people in the 705 laboratory, except for Han Qin who was holding a shotgun and the middle-aged lady wearing glasses, the other four were slightly older.
They are still where they were just now.
Seeing Qi Shanshan, Li Weiyi, and Gao Huan coming back from the ninth floor, Director Yang hurriedly went to meet them and apologized, "Thank God, it's great to see you back. I forgot to tell you earlier that there is an unpredictable danger at the stern. Don't run over there out of curiosity."
"This is most likely a funeral ship!"
"The ancient garden at the stern of the ship may not be the ship owner's bedroom, but may also be his tomb."
Can you forget this?
Li Weiyi and Gao Huan no longer had any favorable impression on Director Yang and responded with perfunctory and polite words.
Qi Shanshan changed her face in front of Director Yang and said with a smile: "Thank you for your reminder, Director! These two guys, even if they have the intention, they don't have the courage. The rows of human figurines over the nine-story ship building are scary just by looking at them. Hey! Haven't the immortal things on these white bones been taken away by everyone? Director, what are you still researching?"
Director Yang said: "Study the cause of their death! And I think that the most important treasures on them are not those immortal things at all, but these armors and weapons. Unfortunately, they are too heavy and no one can lift them."
"They are probably the legendary heavenly soldiers and generals. These armors and weapons are all magical tools. How can mortals like us use them?" Qi Shanshan said.
Li Weiyi looked at the meter-long ancient spear on the ground. It was as black as ink. Although the spear barrel was rusty, the tip of the spear was still sharp and gleamed with a cold light.
If there weren't so many people present, he really wanted to bring it up to test what level of power he had reached after practicing extraordinary skills.
It should be possible to lift it.
After Qi Shanshan and Director Yang exchanged greetings, the three of them returned to the medical shed at the bow of the ship.
Li Weiyi couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Qi, what is this immortal thing you just mentioned?"
Qi Shanshan put her hands in her pockets and didn't look back. "They are some accessories and clothes from the skeletons. There are dragon-patterned rings, three-headed snake bracelets, cross pendants, scripture belts, silver-thread gloves, etc. They have survived thousands of years without decaying. I think they are not ordinary things."
"As soon as those skeletons were discovered, everyone rushed to take them all. After that, everyone hid them very well, and no one knew how many good things they had."
"What I just talked about are just a few of the most talked about things in recent days, and many people have seen them."
"It is said that when Xie Tianshu took off the dragon-patterned ring, a faint dragon roar was heard, which was very magical. It is also said that after Kong Fan got the two silver-thread gloves, his arm strength increased greatly and he could lift objects weighing three or four hundred kilograms."
Li Weiyi asked, "Kong Fan? Chef Kong? With his body shape, can he lift something weighing 300 to 400 kilograms?"
Qi Shanshan nodded her head slightly, her eyes filled with envy, and she sighed, "Now you know why everyone is so eager to find the Buddha's relics, and why they are targeting you, right? No matter how good these treasures are, they are far inferior to the Buddha's relics."
“Bang!”
Gao Huan slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Ouch!" "What have I missed? So many thousand-year-old treasures, but I didn't get any. Li Zi, we shouldn't get hurt!"
Li Weiyi remained calm and said, "The man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Is it a blessing or a curse? Who can tell?"
…
The Ghost Bear King is still alive and may make a comeback at any time.
The people on the bronze ship were not as honest as they used to be. They were worried about the upcoming shortage of food and water, and they also coveted the treasures in each other's hands. The conflicts became increasingly acute.
In addition, many people thought that Li Weiyi had swallowed the Buddha's relics and were eyeing him covetously.
This is the fifth day of crashing onto the bronze ship!
From then on, with every day that passes, the possibility of conflict and danger will increase by one point.
Driven by survival, greed, jealousy and desire, there must be many people secretly accumulating strength and planning. Li Weiyi only took a walk outside and clearly felt the dangerous atmosphere.
All it takes is a fuse to ignite everything.
Li Weiyi was extremely alert and mobilized the hot air flow to nourish the injury on his left arm with all his strength.
Two days later.
Everyone fell into the seventh day of the bronze ship.
At nine o'clock in the morning, outside the medical tent, there were bursts of screams and noise, and the sound of running footsteps was heard everywhere.
"It's dawn, and the dark clouds are gradually dissipating."
"Great, are we about to reach land?"
…
Everyone in the medical tent was awakened.
Li Weiyi was also extremely surprised. After tidying up a bit, he quickly got out of bed and went to the deck.
The place outside was already crowded.
The thick, dark clouds in the sky really began to thin, floating like a veil, and the stars could be vaguely seen above.
"Sea, I see the sea water!"
A young member of the scientific expedition team lay on the side of the bulwark, pointing at the bottom of the ship and cheering wildly.
When everyone gathered around, they could see the sea surface more than a hundred meters below, with waves piled up one after another. However, because the dark clouds had not yet dissipated, they could only see a vague outline.
It's exciting enough.
It is like a blind man regaining his sight, or like dawn ushering in the eternal night, bringing people infinite hope and longing.
"What is that? A steep mountain in the sea?"
Someone rushed to the front of the bow and pointed into the distance.
"It's not a mountain, it looks like a stone pillar... more like a stone tablet with words engraved on it."
"Oh my God, how can there be such a tall square pillar-shaped stone monument standing in the sea? The part exposed above the sea must be more than two thousand meters high."
"What's the difference between this and a stone peak?"
…
Li Weiyi walked towards the bow of the ship with everyone else.
The dark clouds above were almost completely dispersing.
The ocean is dark.
In front of the bronze ship, dozens of kilometers away, the stone tablet was like a majestic mountain peak, rising straight up from the ground and rushing into the sky. Even from a distance, one could feel its momentum.
On the boundless ocean, it appears extremely lonely and abrupt, which of course makes it even more majestic and magnificent.
There are four strange and powerful characters engraved on it, which are deep into the stone and seem to be carved by a heavenly knife, and are extremely clear.
"What strange words, how come they look like some kind of symbol?"
"Is this still Earth? I've never heard of any sea area on Earth with such a stone pillar monument."
Many people originally still had the illusion that when the clouds dispersed, they would be able to see the familiar sea and then return to their motherland, their families and their campuses.
After the fantasy is shattered.
Some members of the scientific expedition team who missed their families very much burst into tears.
Cai Yutong stood at the outskirts of the crowd, looking up at the completely scattered sky, and said, "Don't you think the starry sky is a little too low? And... why doesn't it look like the Milky Way, or the starry sky we are familiar with."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
As soon as he finished speaking, something strange happened.
“Wow!”
In the starry sky, billions of light balls fell, like dense rain, falling towards the endless sea.
The ball of light nearby can be seen clearly, and it seems to be... human-shaped.
Everyone was stunned by the sudden change, not knowing what was happening and feeling horrified.
The starry sky is raining people!
"Come and see what's in the sea?" Gao Huan waved his hands vigorously and called out to everyone.
After the dark clouds dissipated, the sea surface could finally be seen clearly.
In the vast ocean as dark as ink, there was a terrifying scene with densely packed people swimming in it.
Not only in front of you, but also in the distance.
Countless.
Their bodies were translucent, emitting a faint glow, and there were men, women, young and old, but mostly the elderly. Some floated on the sea surface, while others sank to the bottom.
Not a person with flesh and blood, more like a ghost.
Most of the dead souls had dull eyes and were in a daze, but some were extremely active, shuttling through the sea to prey.
“Hehehe!”
"roar!"
One of them, an old man with disheveled hair and a shriveled face, felt the many gazes on the ship. He raised his head and let out a fierce and shrill cry, then jumped out of the sea and jumped onto the deck more than a hundred meters high.
How could anyone have ever encountered such a strange thing?
In horror, they retreated one after another.
Some people were so frightened that their legs went limp and they couldn't move their feet, and were pushed and trampled.
“Swish!”
The evil old man had just approached the bronze ship, about ten feet away from the deck, when he was torn into pieces by a mark that appeared out of nowhere and exploded, turning into a ball of light particles.
It was like a crack in glass appeared in space.
Suddenly appear and suddenly disappear.
The other evil spirits that were eager to try all showed expressions of fear, made strange noises, and moved away from the bronze ship.
"There is an unknown force guarding the bronze ship. They can't get aboard." Li Weiyi called on everyone to remain calm, and together with Cai Yutong, they helped up the two old professors who were trampled.
After the evil old man exploded into light particles, they scattered into the sea, immediately causing many confused souls to scramble and devour them, causing splashes of water.
Not everyone can remain calm. People are in panic at the moment, and many are frightened.
Strange, weird, terrifying, what kind of world is this? The joy I felt when the clouds dissipated was gone.
Director Yang couldn't help but sighed, "In the boundless black sea, the souls of billions of people are swimming. Under the starry sky, a ship sets sail that has been a mystery for thousands of years. Where is the end? Where can we land?"
Someone twisted his arm hard and felt the pain, and then he was sure that the scene before him was real.
"We are no longer in the North Pole, or even on Earth, but have come to the legendary underworld, or the ghost world." There was no trace of loss or sadness in Xie Tianshu's eyes, but instead excitement.
He exchanged glances with some people in the crowd and felt that the time was ripe. There was no need to worry about anything anymore and they could start! …
The sea of soul is boundless, I don’t know where it is going, nor do I know where it will return.
Li Weiyi was in a very complicated mood and asked, "Is this the place where the souls of the dead on Earth return? However, there are more than trillions of souls in the sea. Where do so many dead people on Earth come from?"
"The vast universe, the endless sea of stars, perhaps the souls of all the dead on all the planets return here." Someone stared at the starry sky above his head and made such a guess.
Whether in the scientific community or in religion, most people firmly believe that the Earth is definitely not the only planet with life in the universe.
The sky is densely populated with stars, and when viewed in the soul rain of light, it looks very brilliant and dazzling.
But they are very close to the sea surface and not as far away as deep space.
It doesn’t look like stars, but more like a “gate of light”, “soul channel” and “wormhole in the sea of stars”.
Because the dense balls of light and soul rain flew out from these "stars", then fell onto the dark sea and transformed into human souls, all of which can be seen by the naked eye.
It is for this reason that some people come up with the bold guess that "the souls of all the dead in the universe return here."
