Idle game leads to another world

Since he was free anyway, Li Chengxi decided to go with Gan Xiaoyan.

Gan Xiaoyan was waiting for Li Chengxi to say this, so she immediately contacted her colleagues and arranged the flight tickets in a few words.

Yes, he still had to take a plane. The small northern city where Li Chengxi was located was far away from the sea.

He took his laptop and stuffed two pieces of clothes into his suitcase, then got on the car of Section 9 and rushed to the airport.

A few hours later, he got on a plane at the airport and headed straight to Guangdong.

It is said that the ghost ship appeared in the coastal area from Guangdong to Fujian. The analysts of Section 9 are working overtime to study the more specific location. Anyway, he had to go to Guangdong first so that he could respond quickly.

This trip almost spanned half of China, but taking a plane was not a big deal. He set off at noon and arrived at the hotel arranged by Section 9 before dark.

It is more comfortable to travel in China. At least the food is acceptable. It is not like the last time I went to the UK, where the local specialties I brought were simply not edible.

After staying in the hotel for one night, Li Chengxi, Lei Lei, and a large group of Section 9 personnel led by Gan Xiaoyan drove straight to the seaside pier.

Next, they had to take a boat to the sea, which would not be as comfortable and relaxed as on land.

But there were more than just a few people who came to do this.

When they arrived at the pier, they could see that someone was already waiting there.

Gan Xiaoyan communicated with local colleagues, and then she introduced Li Chengxi:

"This is the local assistant, Comrade Fu Haoran."

He looked to be about 30 years old, not very old, wearing a very modern sailor shirt with big shorts, and flip-flops on his feet.

His skin was dark, as if it was tanned, and he felt that he might be someone who worked at sea for a long time.

He shook hands with Li Chengxi politely:

"Nice to meet you."

He spoke with a Cantonese accent, which was a good match.

"This is Jiang Zhe from Shanxi, who is also here to assist us."

Jiang Zhe looked very young, and it felt like he had just entered high school, and at most he was about 15 or 16 years old.

Wearing delicate gold-rimmed glasses, he seemed to be wearing a school uniform.

When Li Chengxi shook hands with him, he smiled shyly. When Lei Lei changed his face, he blushed, like an honest boy.

"The last one is Feng Xiuqing from Fujian, a civilian who often cooperates with the local Ninth Section."

Feng Xiuqing is a middle-aged woman who looks almost 40 years old. When Li Chengxi and Lei Lei shook hands with her, they acted more serious, not enthusiastic but not distant.

There were only five civilians who came to help, plus Gan Xiaoyan and the local Ninth Section staff, a total of more than 30 people.

The main task this time was to investigate and find out what the ghost ship was all about, whether it was dangerous or not.

If it was an object that needed to be eliminated, the Ninth Section would add more people. Considering that the situation was unclear and the danger might be higher, Gan Xiaoyan called Li Chengxi to come to support, at least to save everyone's life.

——This sounds like a dragon's den or a tiger's lair.

But then again, although Li Chengxi didn't know the abilities of the three people besides Lei Lei, since they were asked by Section 9 to help, they shouldn't be weaklings.

Maybe Li Chengxi was just traveling this time, and it wasn't his turn to take action. Anyway, he was free, so he came.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The ghost ship appeared on the sea, and there was no record of it appearing near the coast, so after a brief introduction, everyone immediately turned around and boarded the ship.

Section 9 arranged a fishing boat, which looked like a fishing trip at first glance, and would not arouse suspicion from the uninformed people. In addition, military ships, including the coast guard, would also patrol and cruise around with the fishing boat to provide support at any time.

To be honest, with this lineup, it was just a ghost ship, and Li Chengxi felt that it should be easy to handle.

Since everyone was there, it was natural to set off immediately without further delay.

The fishing boat quickly left the port and sailed towards the depths of the sea.

The person driving the boat was Fu Haoran. Li Chengxi asked around and found out that Fu Haoran was a captain who fished at sea. Although the boat was not his, he had no problem driving it and did not need to find someone to control it.

When he went to the UK before, Li Chengxi also took a boat from France to the UK and crossed the English Channel.

But to be honest, taking a boat is only interesting when leaving the port. Once you enter the sea, you can see rolling waves all around you. There is nothing else.

Gan Xiaoyan said that there were a lot of reconnaissance ships leaving the port with them, and they locked the exact location of the ghost ship in the form of casting a wide net. However, the distance between the ships may be relatively far. Anyway, Li Chengxi did not see any other ships nearby when he stood on the deck.

Since the time and place of the appearance of the ghost ship are uncertain, the rules have not been fully figured out yet. This trip to the sea may take a long time before seeing the real owner.

The people in Section Nine seemed to be quite nervous. When Li Chengxi was walking around the boat, he could see that they often stayed on the deck and scanned everywhere with binoculars, or checked a lot of instruments that they brought on board that they didn't understand.

The people who came to help, including Li Chengxi, were all quite relaxed.

Fu Haoran was driving the boat, Jiang Zhe seemed to be hiding in the cabin doing exercises, Feng Xiuqing was watching a drama on her phone, and Lei Lei also brought a laptop, and like Li Chengxi, she found a single-player game to pass the time.

The ship drifted aimlessly, from morning to afternoon, and from afternoon to dark.

The space in the cabin was relatively narrow. To be honest, squatting in this place always gave me the illusion that my whole body was compressed.

Li Chengxi saw that it was dark outside, stretched his body, and wondered when to have dinner.

"Brother Li!"

At this time, Gan Xiaoyan knocked on the door and came in and said:

"The ghost ship appeared!"

Well, it seems that there will be no dinner for the time being.

Li Chengxi followed Gan Xiaoyan out of the cabin and stood on the deck. At this time, the lights of the fishing boat had been turned on, and it could be clearly felt that the fishing boat was turning and seemed to be heading in another direction.

Just over ten minutes later, Li Chengxi saw sporadic lights on the sea. When he got closer, he noticed that those lights were reconnaissance ships that looked like speedboats.

Looking further away, two destroyers were vaguely visible in the darkness. This should be the firepower cover that Gan Xiaoyan said the military would provide.

When the fishing boat gets closer, you can see the so-called ghost ship.

It is similar to what you see in the photo, a very old cruise ship with three large chimneys on the deck, and you can even see the paddle wheels on both sides of the hull. It feels like a coal-burning ship two centuries ago.

Simply put, it is a bit like the Titanic, but not that big.

——It is a bit unlucky to say that.

The people from Section 9 did not try to get close immediately, but immediately fiddled with the instruments they brought. Several laser beams of different colors were directed at the ship, probably detecting something.

But from Li Chengxi's personal perception, he felt that there was indeed something wrong with this ship. It looked real to the naked eye, but it gave him a hazy sense of illusion, like a mirage.
