A booklet with a yellowed cover and wrinkles all over it, it looked like it had been carried around for a long time.
Zhang Yuanqing opened the first page and found that it was a sailing diary. The first entry was written in March 1987, and the diary contained some meaningless stuff.
A few days before going to sea: Ah, the sea, my home, every time my body ripples in the waves, it is as if I have returned to my mother's arms, as if a soldier has arrived at his battlefield.
I went out to sea for half a month: I ate so much fish that I vomited. Life at sea was dull and tedious. I missed Julie from the Pink Bar. Her plump breasts and big white ass appeared in my dreams all day long. Her screams were so sweet.
One month at sea: Damn, today I saw Sailor Chang’s butt and it felt round and attractive. When will the mission be over? I want to go home.
As expected, those who write diaries are not serious. Zhang Yuanqing flipped the pages quickly, occasionally looking up at the door and listening to the noise in the corridor.
Soon, he saw the diary entry on August 12, 1900: "This voyage mission is to salvage a comet that fell in the southern ocean. The soldiers are not in a good mood. Although the coalition government manipulated public opinion and suppressed the legend of the sea monster, rumors of the South China Sea sea monster are still circulating in the small fishing villages and trading companies in the southern coastal towns. They say that the comet was scattered by the devil on earth, and creatures that approach the comet will be contaminated by the devil's power."
"Some also say that there is alien life hidden in the comet, and that the sea monster was created by aliens as the first step to destroy the earth. In short, no matter what, this mission was terrible. Fortunately, before I returned to the team, I sprayed Linda six times, a full six times. It was an unimaginable record. Even if I died in the mission, I would have no regrets."
"There is a very strange thing. Why is a cruise ship used for deep-sea meteorite salvage? Although the cruise ship has been modified and equipped with torpedoes, it is not heavy and cannot carry large salvage equipment. Does it rely on frogmen to salvage in the deep sea?"
August 16: "Oh God, today's experience will be unforgettable for me. We encountered mermaids in the South China Sea. They look similar to humans, but they are so ugly. They are covered with scales, have ugly fish heads, and eyeballs that are about to pop out of their sockets. Their hands and feet are full of claws, and they can climb up the hull of the cruise ship."
"I finally understand why we dispatched a modified cruise ship instead of a warship or a heavy salvage ship. This is because the bishops, nuns, and priests of the Vatican are all angels blessed by God. They have the ability to fight against demons, stir up strong winds, stir up the oceans, and release lightning. Those ugly and terrifying mermaids are as fragile as children in front of them. I wish I had the same abilities and the same strong body as them so that I could sleep with women every night. No, I want to sleep with six women a night."
The following content is not very nutritious, just some daily life and Stephen Simpson's comments on the nuns of the Vatican.
Zhang Yuanqing knew that there were two nuns in the Vatican's spiritual realm walker team, namely the Wind Mage and the Siren. This was deduced by Zhang Yuanqing based on the abilities displayed by the two nuns. In terms of level, they should be saints.
The Horror Cruise copy is a "small" copy. There are not many spirit realm walkers among the NPCs, and they should all be important characters.
It is impossible for an extraordinary NPC to appear in the S-level copy of a level 6 saint.
The wind mage who attacked her last night was called Isabella. Lieutenant Stephen's evaluation of her was: she had an angelic face, full of holy aura, making people want to violate her at will.
Another thunder mage is called "Paggie". Stephen's evaluation of her is: She has a devilish figure and a peach-like butt. When she twists her body, I can't help but want to go to the toilet to release nucleic acid.
But the II beauties all possessed extraordinary powers, so the soldiers on the ship could only fantasize about them silently in the middle of the night and raise their heads in silent salute under their blankets.
It was not until August 25 that Zhang Yuanqing finally saw valuable information: "I had spent a thrilling day, with octopuses bigger than cruise ships, tentacles that blocked out the sun, schools of fish-men, sea snakes more than 20 meters long, fish with baby-like arms and legs that could spray venom, and shells that could make women cry and arouse people's desire.
My God, if I tell others about today's battle, no one will believe it, but I swear on my grandmother's honor that everything is true.
I survived thanks to luck, God's blessing, and of course the abundant weapons reserves on the cruise ship.
"The meteorite was salvaged from the seabed. It was definitely a demon seed that Satan had cast into the human world. It was like an egg, five meters high, with pores and blood vessels all over its surface, beating like a heart. When I saw it for the first time, I felt like a second personality had appeared in my body. The flesh and blood made strange sounds, as if it had its own thoughts. I was not the only one who had this feeling. Many soldiers vomited on the spot or cried with their heads in their hands."
Fortunately, it was soon splashed with holy water by the angels of the Vatican and purified by the holy water blessed by God. The cardinal took it to the bottom of the cabin and strictly forbade the sailors to approach it.
It will be sent to the Vatican and looked after by God. I hope the return journey is safe!
August 7: "What's going on? I've been hearing strange whispers for two days in a row. I heard someone wandering in the corridor outside the door. The footsteps were very mechanical, like an unconscious corpse. I told Chuan Chang about this phenomenon. Chuan Chang comforted me and said that this was the sequelae of the demonic aura contamination a few days ago. I just need to get some sleep."
August 28: "Today, while having lunch, I heard that Anthony had a sudden illness and went to heaven. The news was too sudden. Such a young life left just like that. He did not die in battle, but died of disease. I hope there is no disease in heaven. I wanted to see him, but the captain said that Anthony died of an infectious disease and his body had fallen into the ocean. Alas, he can't even go home. I hope I won't hear any more strange noises tonight."
August 29: "Last night I heard footsteps in the corridor again, rustling and rustling, as if some kind of arthropod was crawling, I didn't dare to go out to see. In the morning I found slime on the wall of the corridor. I told Chuan Chang about my discovery. Chuan Chang took it very seriously and promised to investigate it thoroughly."
August 30: "Chuan Chang suddenly changed his attitude today, saying that I was in a bad mental state and had hallucinations. How could this be possible? He didn't investigate properly."
August 31: "Two more comrades died of disease! The captain asked the crew to go to the infirmary for a physical check-up every day to prevent infection. I think the disease may be brought by the demons. Didn't the cardinal of the Vatican purify the demons? I will take a good bath these days and maintain personal hygiene. I want to go home alive. There is more and more mucus in the corridor."
September 1: "Another person died of illness today. In addition, everyone has become so strange, I can't explain why. They are familiar comrades, but I always feel that they are strange. When I was patrolling at night, I saw Justin and William standing on the deck in a daze. I drove them back to the dormitory. Their state was a little strange, as if they were bewitched by the devil. It was so strange that it was scary. There was mucus where they stood."
September 2: "Justin and William have turned into monsters!! I just secretly followed them to the public bathroom to take a shower, and I saw it! I saw scales growing on Justin's body, and I saw slippery tentacles growing on William's tail vertebrae. Oh my God, they are like sea monsters, they have turned into some kind of terrible creatures. I will tell the captain, tell the captain..."
September 3: "There is something wrong with the boat, there is something wrong with the boat, God, please help me..."
The diary ends here. This last short diary is written crookedly. When Stephen wrote this sentence, his mentality must have exploded.
I can't even hold the pen steadily.
"hiss...."
Zhang Yuanqing put himself in Stephen's perspective and suddenly felt a little desperate for him. After reading the contents of the diary, the context of the incident became very clear. After the "demon seed" was salvaged, the protagonist Stephen heard mysterious and terrifying whispers every night and found that the familiar crew members were contaminated and had undergone strange changes.
Among them was James, the captain and ship's captain.
Well, there is a high probability that there are also the Vatican team in the bottom of the cabin. They are closest to the "demon species" and will definitely be the first group to be contaminated.
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly remembered the telegrams between the cruise ship and the Naval Headquarters. The captain stopped telegraphic exchanges with the Naval Headquarters on August 30th. However, in the diary, on the 29th, the captain James still vowed to find out the problem of the mucus.
But on the 30th, he was uncharacteristically perfunctory in his response to Lieutenant Stephen.
The details matched; the ship was polluted on the 30th and became a seemingly normal but actually crazy monster.
"The diary stopped on September 3rd, and September 4th was the day I entered the spiritual realm, which was yesterday. Hiss, Stephen may have died on the 3rd, and I took over his identity."
"The ship has been contaminated, and most of the Vatican's fleet has also been contaminated, as well as some of the crew. This is the most conservative scenario. The worst case scenario is that the entire ship's crew has been contaminated."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing felt his scalp tingling. I have fallen into a wolf's den!
"So, if I had acted rashly yesterday and forcibly opened the drawer of the ship, or if I had forcibly stabilized the dream today, it would have likely disrupted the current balance and caused the crew members to become alienated?"
"Fortunately, I was smart and didn't act rashly. It only took me one day to find out everything."
"If the entire crew of the ship has been transformed, then my situation is a bit bad. The nuns are all saints, and the cardinal is at least at the peak of level 6. Add to that the demons in the bottom of the cabin... Tsk, this is worthy of being an S-level copy. It directly teleported me to the wolf's den."
"Should I just reveal my true feelings now, or should I pretend to be ignorant and hide it for a few more days? Let me think..."
Bilge.
James, wearing a double-breasted ship's uniform and a navy cap, walked up the steps to the entrance.
The two knights did not stop him and let him enter the cabin.
James walked among the piles of sundries, goods, and tools, and stopped in front of the small mountain of flour under the dim light of the gas lamp.
James said in a deep voice: "I tried it, and he seems to have noticed something is wrong."
An old voice came from behind the hill of flour: "It's faster than I thought...Hold the ceremony!"
James thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it tonight. I'll arrange for him to patrol tonight, and then I'll arrange for someone to forcibly control him."
"I'll let the knights outside cooperate with you." The old voice responded.
"The big boss may be a demon, the small boss is the cardinal, the spirit walker of the church is an elite monster, and the other mutated crew members are ordinary monsters. You should clear the small monsters before fighting the boss."
"Then I can't show my cards. I'll first find an opportunity to kill the ship's owner and crew, or kill the elite monsters of the Church, and then go to the bottom of the cabin to fight the boss."
"Aren't we on patrol tonight? Let's take this opportunity to kill some monsters." Zhang Yuanqing was a decisive man and he quickly came up with a plan.
The Vatican's team of spirit realm travelers will probably not leave the bottom of the cabin and will be the last enemy to be faced.
Kill the crew and the captain first, then concentrate on dealing with the enemies in the bilge.
Judging from the situation on the ship, the role of the demon species in the copy should be a powerful source of pollution.
It has the ability to amplify the Deformers and the ability to pollute him as a spiritual walker, but it is not a direct enemy.
Otherwise, the demons would have transformed into monsters and started killing people.
Therefore, he would have to be alert to the distorted skills of the demon species and guard against himself being contaminated.
