I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

"Is this how your race resists pollution and acquires knowledge?"

Thinking of this, Lu Jian couldn't help asking.

Feng Yu didn't answer, just blinked his eyes.

Even this matter is a kind of knowledge, which also contains pollution.

If Feng Yu told Lu Jian so directly, it would also bring some irreversible erosion to him.

In a silent place, knowing too much is really not a good thing.

"So, the deeper reason you mentioned just now, you can't tell me directly, can you?"

Lu Jian asked again.

"Yes, but I can show you."

Feng Yu nodded slightly.

Just like the last time I took Lu Yi to see a horror movie theater in his own world, Feng Yu can teach him knowledge by showing him directly.

"Do you have time in a month? At the beginning of July, I mean the time to go abroad."

Feng Yu asked.

"Going abroad? Where are you going?"

Lu Jian asked subconsciously.

"west Pacific."

Feng Yu thought for a while, then spoke.

"Are you aware of the incident on the Constellation cruise ship?"

"Is that the incident where the ship was trapped by the typhoon and finally caught fire?"

Lu Yi immediately remembered the reports he had seen in the news before.

That cruise ship took a lot of tourists from Jiangcheng, encountered a typhoon in the western Pacific Ocean and was trapped on an island called Pohnpei, and finally caught fire due to an accident, causing a lot of casualties. Many of the tourists died this year. Returning to China at the beginning of the year, Lu Juan had seen a tourist who was stimulated and became mentally disturbed in the Jiangcheng Mental Hospital before.

"Now there is a ghost ship in the western Pacific Ocean. According to the descriptions of the fishermen who saw it, that ghost ship is exactly the same as the Stars that has been destroyed by fire and sank to the bottom of the sea, but there is no one on board. This ship No fisherman ever boarded the boat, which was surrounded by thick fog and sometimes high winds and waves when it appeared, but two fishing boats went missing in the weeks following reports of the ghost ship. More than ten fishermen are missing."

Feng Yu said simply.

"Why can they be sure that it is the Stars, maybe it is some other ship, the fishermen misread it?"

Lu Bian was curious.

"Although the words 'Stars' are written on the body of the ship, and there are photos for comparison, but if I want to say it, because I have boarded that ship and confirmed it, it is the Stars."

Feng Yu said lightly.

"Your wound is because of this?"

Lu Jian didn't know if it was appropriate to use "wound" to describe Feng Yu's changes.

"You may think so."

Feng Yu nodded, then continued.

"The Stars may have become the strangeness of this world. By exploring its cause, we can gain more knowledge about this world, or the place of silence."

"Ghost ship?"

Lu Bian thought to himself.

In horror movies, the ghost ship is also a classic scene, whether it is a horror cruise ship that will make people fall into an infinite loop, or a cruise ship that cut off a deck of people with a single cable, or the elusive Black Pearl, in the vast The ships floating in the sea always give people a mysterious and strange feeling.

In this way, perhaps all the mysterious rumors in this world are not false, but some strange projections in the long history. Since the horror movie theater is real, it is normal for the ghost ship to be attached to the Stars.

Understanding the real reason and process of the weirdness is also a part of protecting the world for Lu Jian. After all, even if there is no other pollution from foreign lands, the weirdness that comes with this world will also hurt others. If it is not stopped, perhaps future some day

"No problem, I will arrange the time."

Lu Yi promised that most of his work can now be handed over to the company's people, and he can focus on his studies and exploration of the world. It is perfectly fine to travel to the Western Pacific for a week or two.

"Then, I'm looking forward to the first trip with you."

Feng Yu blinked, and Lu Jian saw something like tentacles flashing past her eyes.

The first monthly pass in October plus 3/3

===289. Here it comes===

"Regarding the investigation report of the Qunxing, the Qunxing departed from Yangshan Port on October 2020, 21. The estimated journey is [-] days and months. During this period, it will pass through island countries, Solomon Islands, Australia and other ports, and finally arrive in New Zealand. It’s quite rare for sailings to feature ocean views as their main selling point.”

"However, ten days after departure, the Constellation encountered a rare sea storm in the western Pacific Ocean, so it was forced to dock at Pohnpei Island, north of the Solomon Islands, to wait for the storm to subside."

"During the long and abnormal duration of the storm, the Constellation had many accidents, and on November 21, a serious fire broke out. The hull tilted and entered the water. A week later, the rescue failed and sank into the sea."

"The passengers on the ship returned to China after the off-season storm in the Pacific subsided completely in January. Among them, a considerable number of passengers developed mental problems to varying degrees. The aftermath of the Stars is still in progress."

Lu Jian saw the investigation report of the Qunxing incident that could be made public.

He remembered that during the storm, the passengers of the Stars seemed to have captured some videos of the stormy islands and urban architectural relics.

Lu Jian searched the Internet, and most of the videos have expired with the passage of time, but on the old video website, someone left an archive of the second screen shot.

He re-watched the videos carefully.

In the storm, you can indeed see the shadows of some buildings. Most of those buildings are towering spiers, with a strange style that does not belong to this era. In fact, Lu Juan did not see the buildings of any era from these buildings. Style, they exist there like art and aesthetics born out of this world, like a black spot on a white paper, distorted and unnatural.

When I first saw it, I didn't have such a strong feeling, but now Lu Jian is almost sure that these buildings are not human creations, but palaces of some weird, mysterious and indescribable existences.

As for the accident on the Qunxing, Lu Jian thinks it might be caused by weirdness.

He read some interview materials, most of which were with the captain, crew, and passengers. Because the accident was already considered serious, there were many speculations left, and there were different opinions. Some people thought that there was a mutiny among the crew, while others thought that It was the plunder commanded by the captain, and some people thought it was haunted.

In fact, the testimonies of these individuals are also contradictory.

For example, Lu Juan saw the clip of the first officer Zhao Liren being interviewed.

"At that time, I told the captain that there was a problem with the equipment in the engine room and needed manual maintenance, but the captain didn't seem to care too much and didn't agree to my request. As a result, within two days, the equipment in the engine room broke down and caused a fire. No, no, I didn't say what the captain did was wrong, but his behavior at the time was not calm enough in my opinion. Even if the fire spread, he did not take effective countermeasures. I have known the captain for several years, and he is not that kind of person , something must have affected him, maybe there were too many accidents during this trip, and the pressure overwhelmed him."

In this clip, the chief mate believes that the captain's insufficient response was the main cause of the accident, which sounds reasonable.

In the mouth of a tourist, things have become different again.

"Those crew members were very fierce. They didn't let us walk casually on the ship at the beginning, and locked us in the room like prisoners. They could only come out to breathe every day when we were eating. Especially in the days when the storm intensified, I felt that the whole ship The ship is sinking, I haven't seen the captain, but the first mate spoke to us, very harsh, he seems to have encountered something, the dark circles are heavy, until later, when we disembarked at the port, things got a little better , we didn’t even notice when the fire was happening because the storm was so big, so big.”

From what he said, the first officer restricted their movements, guarding them like jailers, and behaved a little nervously, which was not at all the calm state that the first officer himself said.

"These crew members are taciturn and not talkative. It wasn't like that at the beginning. Since the storm started, they have become a lot more serious. I can understand that such a storm at sea is very dangerous and shouldn't be joking, but after experiencing the storm, they seem to be I have changed a lot, and I have been depressed a lot. For our safety, the crew told us not to move around. I understand. I talked to a crew member. He said that the current situation is very hopeless, and the ship may be destroyed. Yes, I thought he was scaring us at the time, but who knew that after a while after landing, the ship caught fire. Fortunately, we were all in the hotel at the port at the time, and it seemed that some crew members were burned to death on board? I don’t know Too clear."

Some tourists showed another scene. The crew seemed to change because of the severity of the storm, and the measures to restrict personal freedom were also for safety.

Lu Jian saw the interview with the captain, Johnson Gustav again.

This is a German with a beard and looks very haggard in the interview.

"I've answered these questions many times, the storm we had was historically rare, and for that, I had to make sure all the crew and passengers were safe, so they all stayed in their rooms, yes, that's right, on the ship Some crew members had mental problems due to stress, and I asked the ship doctor to give them medicine, at least when we docked to Pohnpei Island, all problems were not serious."

"What's really serious is that after going to the island, those people on the island are very strange, I can't tell. Sometimes they stand in the port, stand in the storm, and make some strange gestures of worship towards the center of the storm. Some islanders even sneaked onto the boat, not knowing what to do."

"I went around the island, and there are many strange statues on it. On the mountain in the center of the island, there seem to be ancient temples, all of which are primitive beliefs."

"Those statues look like octopuses, or some kind of soft-bodied creature mixed with humans. I know that the natives of the sea always have inexplicable worship for the creatures in the sea, but those statues give people a very uncomfortable feeling. , although that temple has been damaged, but I don’t know why, whenever you look up the mountain at night, you can always find it at first sight, just like it emits green fluorescence.”

"After the fire broke out, the people on the island did not participate in the rescue. They just stood in the rain, stood on the pier, and made sacrifices to the burning cruise ship. I swear, I have never seen such a weird sacrifice. Thanks to the movement, I once suspected that these people were occupied by some kind of monster."

"It's just that, in the light of the fire, I seem to have seen something rise from the ship and flow into the storm. It's hard to describe that feeling. I think maybe my spirit is not normal, no, it should exist , it's there, I know, it's coming, I'm sorry, I don't know what to say, when the Astral ship sank, I felt like it really came alive, and each of us was a witness to its birth."

"what is it?"

The reporter who interviewed asked curiously.

"It's it it's the stars, it's the stars, it's coming, it's coming soon!"

Captain Gustav became hysterical and the interview was interrupted.

Lu Juan saw the final outcome of the captain. After being interviewed, he rested at home. A month later, he drowned himself in his own washbasin. It is said that when he died, both hands were twisted behind his back, and He held down his head, as if those two hands were forcing him into the water to prevent him from raising his head.

He drowned himself!

===290. Ponapei Island===

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a person to drown himself. When the head is plunged into the water to a certain extent, the body will instinctively struggle to get out of the water.

Therefore, the act of holding down the head and drowning other people requires a lot of strength, because at that time the degree of human struggle is the strongest.

However, Captain Gustav drowned himself by pressing his own head.

This is just too weird.

Lu Jian searched again and found that among the people who experienced the Qunxing incident, the proportion of mental disorders, self-mutilation, and suicide was quite high. Some experts believed that the depressive atmosphere at that time led to the emergence of mental illness, and there were also protests organized by the families of the victims. , Trying to get more compensation from the owner of the cruise ship, and some were found to be liars pretending to be mentally ill after inspection, which made the whole thing true and false, confusing and uncertain.

As for the rumor of the ghost ship, it became popular some time ago. Lu Jian found some suspected film and television materials, photos, etc., but some of them are fake at first glance, they are synthesized by PS, and some of them cannot be said to be true. The ghost ship is still just disguised with the previous photos of the stars.

The reason why the legend of the ghost ship is popular is mainly because the incident of the Stars is too suspicious, but it has not attracted much attention.

The production of the film is still going on in an orderly manner. During this time, Lu Yi not only studied the film, but also learned about the culture, beliefs, historical geography, etc. around the Pacific Ocean.

Ponapei Island is located in the western Pacific Ocean, north of the Solomon Islands. It is a volcanic island. There are 700 years ago Nan Madol ruins on the island. These ruins are composed of huge basalt pillars. Between 600 tons and 1000 tons, at that time, it took [-] years to mine such a stone pillar, and at least [-] years to transport and build it. It is hard to imagine how these buildings were completed.

After all, this building, which is as difficult to construct as a pyramid, is not located in the vast desert of the Kingdom of Egypt, but on a small island. The lack of manpower is enough to make construction extremely difficult.

Moreover, in these ruins, there are still architectural ruins from 200 BC, and those newer buildings were built on the remains of these buildings. The architectural styles of the two are very different, and they seem to come from completely different Two civilizations, but according to the records on the island, there are only Saudrell people here from beginning to end.

According to local legend, the megalithic buildings on these islands originated from a powerful mage who could manipulate objects, causing these megaliths to fly here and form buildings automatically.

In the documentaries of the 90s, researchers tried various modern methods, but it was difficult to move these boulders. It was also reported that during the war, soldiers broke into the mausoleum in the ruins, but died suddenly the next day story.

In short, the island itself is quite mysterious, and it seems that it is not surprising that something will happen.

At the beginning of July, all the schools were on vacation, but the business hours of the back street of Jiangcheng University remained unchanged. There are several residential areas nearby. Even if there are no students, the residents of the community often come here to spend, which is enough to support the store's opening costs.

What's more, there are still some students staying in the school, which is not deserted.

Every year at this time, strange campus stories in the school began to prevail again. Fortunately, Jiangcheng University graduated smoothly this year, unlike last year when some students committed suicide by jumping off the building.
