A fishing boat filled with all kinds of ghosts drifts on the sea, seemingly drifting with the current, but in fact there is a ghost that can be compared to a Picasso painting at the helm.
Of course, it is difficult to judge for the moment whether the other party is really in control of the direction of the ship or just standing there pretending, because Lin Mo is now trying to talk to the voice on the radio and has no time to deal with the person driving the boat.
Apparently, all sorts of strange things have happened since Lin Mo and Zhang Xu had their dream on the sea.
This fishing boat happened to pass by here, and this boat turned out to be Zhang Xu's family boat. But the problem is that according to Zhang Xu, his family's boat could not still be floating on the sea.
Lin Mo actually has a guess about this.
This means that one sits at home while his soul wanders on the streets.
The same principle applies to boats: the boat is docked at the shore, while the soul is floating on the sea. In other words, what they are in at this moment is the soul of the boat, which is the projection of the fishing boat in the nightmare world.
This boat not only drifts, but also carries a boatload of ghosts. Is this a coincidence or intentional? If it is intentional, then their getting on the boat may have been planned, and where the boat will go next is very imaginative.
These are all Lin Mo can think of for now.
Lin Mo went over and called Zhang Xu in. Zhang Xu had been feeling uncomfortable after staying outside alone for a long time, so when he saw Lin Mo waving at him, he naturally ran over immediately.
"Expert Lin, how is it?"
"Everything is fine, come and check the radio."
Since it is Zhang Xu's fishing boat, the other party must be more familiar with how to operate the radio than himself.
"radio?"
Zhang Xu was a little surprised. When he heard Lin Mo's explanation of the situation, his face looked a little strange.
"This is a nightmare world. How can there be radio communication? Even if there is, the other party must not be human."
"I know this. See if I'm doing it right."
Lin Mo demonstrated it to Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu nodded.
Just say there is no problem, and if the other party does not respond, then they are deliberately not responding.
"Understood."
Lin Mo confirmed this, picked up the radio, pressed the button and started talking.
"Whoever spoke just now, hurry up and say hello."
"Hey, hey, hey, talk, talk!"
"No one can hear me? Hello, stupid pig, crying for you, Sawadee Ka..."
Finally, after a barrage of attacks, the thing on the other end of the radio couldn't help it anymore.
"Please be quiet."
Spoken.
"I knew you were eavesdropping. This is the Zhang family's small fishing boat No. 059. Where is your side?"
Lin Mo asked.
Releasing the button, Lin Mo listened to the rustling sound on the radio.
After a while, someone inside pressed the communication button and the rustling sound disappeared, but the other party did not seem to speak immediately. After waiting for a few seconds, a voice came.
"This is the Silence."
Silence? Lin Mo was cheered up.
I didn’t expect to receive good news shortly after I fell asleep.
"Where are you?"
Lin Mo asked again.
This time the other party didn't say anything.
"I want to take the Silence. Please make an exception."
The other party hasn't said anything yet.
The radio remained silent.
Lin Mo continued to bombard.
Maybe the other party was really upset and said, "The fishing boat No. 059 you are on is heading to the Silence. You will get what you want, but I hope you won't regret it when the time comes."
After saying that, the other party seemed to turn off the radio.
"You should have told me earlier. I wouldn't have asked you so many times if you had told me earlier."
Lin Mo did not put down the radio immediately.
He seemed addicted to playing.
I consulted Zhang Xu and learned about the fixed channels for communication at sea. Generally, there are two channels. The emergency channel is used by the government for various weather and emergency reports. The other channel is used by ships at sea to communicate with each other and is a public channel.
If you want to adjust it, you can only switch back and forth between these two channels.
Lin Mo tried it and talked into the radio for a long time.
You know what, I did hear some messy noises.
Sometimes the other party presses the call button but doesn't say anything, and you can only hear some strange noises, like the sound of heavy objects being dragged on the deck, and the sound of liquid dripping onto the floor.
Apart from that, one could occasionally hear a woman sobbing softly.
Lin Mo asked, but the other party remained silent.
"It seems that there are quite a few ghost ships floating on the sea. This radio is a good thing, but why are they silent?"
Lin Mo felt that in this sea area, even if one was talking, one had to lower the voice, and the voice coming from the radio was like that.
It seems that here, noise is a taboo, and only quietness is the rule of survival.
"Could this have anything to do with Silence?"
Lin Mo's old problem came back again.
When he encounters some strange things that are difficult to explain, he likes to guess. But unlike some novices who use their imagination without knowing anything, Lin Mo has a lot of experience to support his reasoning.
First, there was the person who spoke on the radio at the beginning. He also spoke in a low voice and claimed to be on the Silence.
According to Zhang Xu's recollection, it was indeed very quiet on the Silence.
From this perspective, it seems to make sense, but Lin Mo is still very skeptical.
The reason is very simple. Zhang Xu said that he saw his father, who had died at that time, appear in the nightmare world, and his father had no mouth at that time.
Zhang Xu's original words were that it seemed as if his father did not have a mouth at all.
Without a mouth, one naturally cannot make any sound or speak.
Perhaps everyone who boards the Silence will have their mouth removed.
Since the person on the radio was on the Silence, he should not have a mouth, but he could speak, so this was very strange.
Either the other party has a special identity and enjoys "privileges" on the ship; or, the other party was talking nonsense before and he was not on the Silence at all.
"It may be that the ghosts from other ghost ships are playing tricks on me and deliberately trying to prevent me from going to the Silence!"
This is another judgment of Lin Mo.
It may seem messy, but there is a very crucial point here.
Silence.
The people on the radio knew about the Silence, and it was obvious that the influence of the Silence was very great in this area of sea.
So we have an idea of what to do next.
First, ask all the 'passengers' on the current ship to see what they know; then look for other ghost ships and ask them as well.
Or if you are lucky, you can find Silence directly.
This is how veterans think.
Just like Zhang Xu, his mind is probably in a mess right now and he has absolutely no clue at all.
Then start by asking about the ghost closest to you.
Lin Mo walked towards the Picasso-like ghost at the helm.
"My brother, I can tell at a glance that you are worth a lot of money. Can we have a chat?"
"If you don't say anything, that means you agree. There is one thing I'm very curious about. Where are you going to sail the boat to?"
"Forget it. If you don't want to talk, I certainly can't force you. How about this, you take a break and I'll drive for a while. I've driven a car before, but never a boat."
After saying that, Lin Mo reached out and grabbed the ghost, trying to pull it away.
But Lin Mo found that as soon as he exerted force, it was like grabbing a cloud of smoke and the other party broke free in an instant.
The opponent apparently possesses the ability to switch between solid form and smoke.
"OK!"
Lin Mo walked to the corner of the cabin and found his cardboard box.
"Doudou, Daddy found something fun for you, but it's hard to catch. If you catch it, it's yours, okay?"
Doudou was taken out of the box by Lin Mo.
Like other children, Doudou is full of curiosity and longing for the new toys.
Lin Mo pointed at the man driving the boat: "That's it."
"Dad, it's so ugly." Doudou inherited Lin Mo's straightforward personality.
"Don't think it's ugly, but it's fun."
"Really? Then I'll try."
Doudou couldn't resist Lin Mo's urging, so he rubbed his purple hands and walked over.
As a result, Doudou grabbed its arm.
The opponent wanted to use the same trick again and turn into smoke state, but unexpectedly found that this ability of his was suppressed.
"Walk!"
Doudou pulled hard and directly pulled the twisted ghost figure aside.
With a bang, the ghost fell into the cabin.
Before I could stand up, Doudou was already riding on me.
That's touching and pinching.
The ghost tried to turn into a mist several times but failed, and couldn't break free from Doudou.
Lin Mo ignored it and called Zhang Xu over.
"Come, Zhang Xu, you take the helm."
Zhang Xu was also confused, and asked how he could steer the boat when the engine wasn't even running.
"Then try to start the engine."
Zhang Xu thought it made sense, as he was very familiar with how to operate his own boat. So Zhang Xu fiddled with it for a while, and with a rumble, the boat actually started to move.
The roar of the diesel engine is extremely harsh in this quiet sea.
The ghosts on the boat looked over instantly.
It's like when someone suddenly shouts "hooligan" in a quiet study room, and you immediately become the focus of everyone's attention.
Not only the ghosts on the ship, Lin Mo felt that if there were other ghost ships around, they would definitely be able to hear the engine sound here.
All of a sudden, all the ghosts on the boat rushed in.
"Turn it off!" A ghost lowered his voice, but one could feel its fear.
"Turn it off quickly, or something terrible will happen." Another ghost also warned.
Even the female ghost who was holding the child at the stern came in.
She stared with bloodshot eyes and reached out to grab Zhang Xu.
"Don't move, I'll kill anyone who moves."
When Lin Mo saw this, he immediately pulled out his sickle, and his aura suddenly surged.
The ghosts around took a step back.
At this moment, the two sides confronted each other.
Seeing this scene, Lin Mo suddenly realized something.
The ghosts on the boat were so quiet before, probably not because they liked quietness, but because they were afraid.
The voice on the radio must have deceived me. This ship was most likely not going to look for the Silence.
The result may be just the opposite.
They were trying to escape the range of the Silence.
It was a close call. I almost fell for these ghosts' tricks.
At this time, the radio made a rustling sound again, and the previous voice appeared again.
"Shut off the engine immediately."
Lin Mo sneered.
"Just don't turn it off!"
"Then you will die." The voice on the radio was angry.
It seems that the other party did lie just now. What about being on the Silence and that this ship will eventually find the Silence are all nonsense.
"Does my life or death have anything to do with you?" Lin Mo felt that the other party was inexplicable.
The ghost on the radio was silent for a while: "It's okay, but if you want to die, don't drag us with you. We finally found this boat, hoping to escape from the sea of suffering, but you came on and said you wanted to go to the Silence. Can I not lie to you?"
Lin Mo thought about it and thought, that’s right.
"Then you lied to me before..."
"I was wrong, okay? I apologize to you. I shouldn't have lied to you. I'm a jerk. I'm wrong. Please stop the engine now. It will be too late if you delay any longer."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, this wouldn't have happened."
At this moment, the original sound of sea water around suddenly disappeared.
It seemed that at this moment, the only sound was the engine of the fishing boat, and all other sounds disappeared.
The voice on the radio said, 'It's over!'
The next moment, the radio automatically turned off and there was no sound.
The other ghosts in the cabin rushed out as fast as they could at this moment, and then jumped into the sea without hesitation.
What made them so scared? Lin Mo looked outside.
Not far away, an extremely huge ship was approaching.
Strangely, the ship was silent.
"Silence?"
Lin Mo was also a little excited.
He had imagined many possible situations, but to be honest, he was somewhat surprised to find the Silence so quickly and easily.
At this moment, a white hand stretched out from behind Lin Mo and turned off the engine of the fishing boat.
Lin Mo was stunned.
Glancing down.
"Xiaoyu, you now... understand."
Lin Mo patted Zhang Xu on the shoulder, then went over, picked up Doudou, rushed out of the cabin, and jumped into the sea.
Zhang Xu was not stupid and followed closely behind.
In the sea, the ghost who jumped down before saw Lin Mo also jumped down. He was stunned at first, and then looked at her with contempt.
Lin Mo was thick-skinned and remained unmoved.
"Why, you can jump, but I can't? If I jump, what can you do to me?"
The female ghost holding the child swam over immediately and covered Lin Mo's mouth with her hands.
Then she came over and whispered in Lin Mo's ear: "Brother, killing is not the right thing to do. We have no grudges against each other, why do you have to kill me? Brother, I know you are fearless, you are the most powerful, okay? Even if I beg you, please stop yelling, if not for my sake, then for the sake of this child, please give us a way out."
The little kid in the ghost girl's arms was now grabbing Lin Mo's clothes, with a pleading look on his face.
Good job.
This is a bit frustrating.
However, Lin Mo did not say anything this time. Xiaoyu's behavior just now has fully demonstrated the horror of the "Silence". People are under the eaves and have to lower their heads. It's not a big deal, not to mention that this ghost mother and daughter are begging desperately.
So Lin Mo nodded.
The female ghost breathed a sigh of relief and pulled her hand back.
At this moment, none of them in the water dared to move. They all remained silent, as if even making a sound in the sea water would bring about fatal disaster.
The next moment, the huge Silence was approaching.
And it stops when it says stop.
At this moment, he was standing on the sea, motionless.
This ship feels a bit bigger than the Glutton.
Then several figures appeared on the fishing boat.
These figures had pale faces and cold eyes, and most importantly, they had no mouths.
They searched the fishing boat but found nothing.
Then they began to look around.
Those eyes were like light bulbs, shining brightly, like small searchlights. When a mouthless man looked over, the female ghost next to him immediately pulled Lin Mo into the sea.
I guess it must not be seen by those eyes, otherwise something will happen.
As for what would happen, Lin Mo soon found out the answer.
A ghost hiding in the water was seen.
Although separated by the sea, Lin Mo still saw something suddenly reach down from the Silence, dive into the water, and catch the discovered ghost.
It looks like an arm that can extend infinitely.
"If we are caught by these hands, wouldn't it be easy to get on board?"
Lin Mo thought of this idea now.
Just when he was wondering whether to expose himself, suddenly several hands reached down from the Silence and grabbed Lin Mo and the female ghost holding the child.
Then the two were dragged up directly.
In mid-air, Lin Mo saw pairs of strange long hands reaching down from the Silence, grabbing the ghosts hiding in the sea one by one.
He saw Doudou and Zhang Xu.
The next second, Lin Mo was pulled into an open window by this hand, and fell to the ground with a bang.
