Deep Sea Embers

In this way, a ship "rised" from the sea in a shocking way and appeared in front of Vanna and Nina.

The waves on the sea have not yet stopped, and the layers of turbulence are spreading around the rusty ship. The seawater continues to fall from its rusty chimney and deck building, making a huge and mixed sound. It is under the waves. The room swayed slightly, and the slanting sunlight shone on its deck, seeming to diffuse an unreal color.

Nina was stunned, and it took her a few seconds to react. She suddenly shouted: "Ah! Ship! A ship! A ship suddenly appeared!"

Then she suddenly turned to Vanna and spoke quickly: "I'm going to tell Uncle Duncan!"

Before she finished speaking, the girl turned around and ran across the deck like a gust of wind to the stern of the ship.

But Vanna was still staring at the strange ship that suddenly emerged from the sea, observing the signs of decay and every detail on the ship.

She noticed a row of huge letters on the side of the bow - the letters were covered in severe rust marks and dirt, making it difficult to read, but she still managed to read them out: "Obsidian."

The sudden appearance of the mysterious ship on the sea made a lot of noise. Of course, Nina and Na were not the only people who noticed it. However, within a short time, other people who were resting in the cabin also gathered on the deck, including Morris, Shirley, Agou and Alice were included. They came to the bow of the ship inexplicably. They looked at the strange ship not far away and guessed its origin. Soon, Duncan followed Nina to the bow of the ship. on the deck.

"Mr. Duncan," Vanna said immediately after seeing Duncan, "there was no sign of living people on that ship. It might be a... ghost ship."

When he said the word "ghost ship", the expression on the young inquisitor's face was somewhat strange.

"Come together," he replied casually, and then looked up to observe the "ghost ship" that seemed to be only half the size of the Lost Home. He first noticed the chimney structure on the upper floor of the ship, "It looks like a A steamship...can you guess its approximate year and origin?”

"No need to speculate," Morris's voice suddenly sounded from the side. The old scholar looked at the sea in the distance with a hint of complexity in his eyes, "I saw its name - Obsidian, steam clipper, six years ago Sunk in the frosty sea."

"Ah?" Shirley, who was craning her neck next to her, glanced at the old man in surprise, "Old man, do you know that ship?"

"That was the ship where Brown Scott got into trouble," Morris said in a slightly deeper voice, "But...how did it suddenly appear here? And in this way..."

Alice on the side listened to the conversation of others, looked up at the "Obsidian" in the distance, then looked back at Morris and Duncan, thought for a long time and finally said: "Captain, is this normal? It's sinking. Will the boat float up again from the sea?"

"Of course this is not a normal situation," Duncan glanced at this silly person, "This is called a ghost ship...and I suspect this is not just a ghost ship.

As he was talking, he heard the goat-headed voice suddenly ringing in his mind: "Captain, do you want to fire two cannons to see? The cannons indicate that they are a little hungry at this suitable angle and distance, and they can't help but I want to throw some cannonballs over there..."

"Let them endure it!" Duncan interrupted the goat head without hesitation, then pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the people around him, "We have to go over and take a look at the situation."

"We want... to go to that ghost ship?" Shirley immediately shrank her neck when she heard this, "Isn't it a bit rash? I'm not afraid of anything else. I'm just afraid that the ship will suddenly sink again. Yes, after all, it appeared suddenly..."

"Ai will bring us back," Duncan glanced at the girl lightly, "Of course, if you don't want to go, just stay here. I don't force this."

Shirley opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Agou on the side broke the silence first: "Let's go, let's go! Serving the captain is our unshirkable mission! We are both happy with it!"

Shirley was stunned for a moment, and then she started talking to her partner in her heart: "

Agou, can you have some principles..."

"How come it's not a principle to see the situation clearly, be proactive and actively participate in group activities?" Agou said plausibly in the spiritual connection, "As a boss, you don't have to worry about safety when leading a team. Of course you have to show yourself well..."

"I mean, can you give me the chance to hold your thigh next time? You always snatch it away from me..."

Agou thought for a while: "...Shirley, can you have some principles?"

Duncan didn't care about what Shirley and Agou were communicating when they were in a daze at the same time (he knew that these two people must be muttering in their spiritual connection if they were silent), but raised his head and glanced at the others: "Want to come together?

"I want to go!" Nina was the first to raise her hand. She even looked a little excited. "Ghost ships, I have only heard about them in legends and stories before, but I have never seen them with my own eyes."

"The Lost Home is also a ghost ship," Duncan had to remind the girl, and then looked at the others,

"what about you?"

"Perhaps we can find clues left by Brown before his accident on that ship," Morris nodded, "I'm with you."

"I'll go too," Vanna said, "The ghost ship phenomenon is probably related to heresy or evil erosion. I have some experience in this area."

"I don't know," Alice thought for a moment and looked at Duncan, "but I want to be with the captain."

"Then let's all go and see the world," Duncan said casually, waving to the mast not far away and calling down the pigeon that was basking in the sun with its eyes closed and relaxing, "Ai Yi , take us to the ghost ship."

A group of green flames suddenly rose on the Lost Home, and a moment later, the huge skeletal bird rose into the sky and pounced on the Obsidian, which was swaying slightly with the waves not far away.

The deck of the Lost Home fell silent.

The silence lasted for a short period of time, and a small boat hanging near the side of the Lost Home suddenly made a creaking sound and shook in frustration.

It was a shuttle boat, which was normally used to quickly transfer personnel between two ships approaching each other on the sea.

The two cables coiled around the edge of the deck made a rustling sound and squirmed like snakes to the shuttle boat. They raised the rope heads and patted the outer shell of the boat.

Of course, the goat head left in the captain's cabin sensed the situation near the deck. It sighed slightly and talked to the old guys on the ship who had been together for a century: "How about... you small boats should practice in the sea. Just use your paddling skills..."

The squeaking sound of the boat shaking became louder. On the other side, Ai, who flew above the Obsidian, did not land immediately. Instead, under Duncan's command, he first circled the ghost ship several times, roughly confirming After there were no moving targets on the entire ship, he landed on a deck that looked relatively clean and stable.

Green flames burned in the sky, and the figures of Duncan and others stepped out of the flames.

An obvious foul smell almost immediately penetrated everyone's nostrils. It was the fishy smell caused by soaking in sea water, and was also mixed with some unspeakable putrid smell.

Nina was the first to frown when she came to the deck: "Ugh...it smells so bad up there..."

"Not all ghost ships are as clean and tidy as the Lost Home and have an unlimited supply of French fries," Duncan said to Nina with a smile. "If this ship was really the Obsidian back then, it would have been there. I’ve been immersed in the deep sea for six years.”

As he spoke, he looked around the steamship, which was full of weirdness.

Rusted, dilapidated, and stained - it may have once been a beautiful and advanced mechanical speedboat, but now there is only a pile of lifeless steel and wood left here, and what's even more strange is that, as a ship just now The boat just floated up from the sea, but the water on it was gone.

The deck is dry.

Even the many recesses in the deck, where water would easily accumulate, are now dry.

Fanna obviously noticed this. She squatted down and rubbed it with her fingers.

Rubbing the ground, frowning slightly.

She still remembered the scene when the ship floated up from the sea. At that time, a large amount of seawater poured down from the Obsidian. It looked like an endless waterfall. The seawater washed all corners of the entire ship. Judging from common sense, , there can be no dry place on this ship.

"Fanna," Morris turned his head after roughly observing the surrounding situation, "Do you feel the aura of heresy or evil and corruption?"

"...No," Fanna frowned and slowly shook her head. She had been paying attention to this from the moment she stepped onto the deck, and was always aware of whether there were any fluctuations of extraordinary power around her. "There is no trace of extraordinary power." But this is even more wrong - the deck is dry, which is obviously abnormal, and there must be supernatural power involved behind the abnormality. "

"Then it might be an extraordinary power beyond your perception," Duncan said casually, and then stepped forward, "Anyway, if there is really something hidden on this ship, then as long as we look more, it will definitely appear. Come.”

Nina hurriedly ran two steps to catch up with her Uncle Duncan: "What if something really jumps out?"

Duncan stopped and turned his head with a smile: "Anyway, let's try to be reasonable first..."
