The huge waves were rolling, and the sirens fighting among themselves because of "competing for prey" did not attract the attention of the admiral, because this kind of harpies were indeed wild and ferocious, and it was not uncommon for them to have internal fighting occasionally, and they didn't care about the occasion.

It's just that one person beside the admiral whispered to himself: "Wings that are close to black? It's a very special color..."

Seeing Luo Xiaobei falling into the sea, Liu Shi hesitated, but the admiral had no intention of saving people, and it was not convenient for her to be a soldier.

At the same time, another figure touched her side while taking advantage of the chaos.

The middle-level field is no longer limited to areas. Her teammate is called Chandler, who has always had a cold face. Liu Shi went to say hello to him for the first time. This man with curly hair stared at She didn't say a word, so Liu Shi thought she was unlucky and went to Luo Xiaobei instead.

This time the attack came suddenly, the curly-haired man hesitated for a long time, opened his mouth, and spoke a string of English.

Liu Shi: "...I, I don't understand much!"

Chandler: QAQ

The background setting of this scene is similar to the age of great voyages, so the contestants' brains are disabled. The two contestants stared at each other for a long time, and Liu Shi suddenly realized that it was not that the other party did not want to cooperate, but that modern social technology It is too developed, and people have long been accustomed to the real-time translation function of the brain. Liu Shi's English is poor, and Chandler's Chinese is the smoothest.

This is even more heart-warming than taking pictures of the waves.

The light tower NPC doesn't have this kind of problem. Liu Shi heard them speak their mother tongue, and what Chandler heard was his mother tongue, but there was no way for the contestants to do so.

Moreover, Chandler stumbled and told Liu Shi that if members of different groups spoke different languages, the light tower would automatically switch them, because Liu Shi and Luo Xiaobei spoke just now, and he could understand Luo Xiaobei's words.

"Fuck the dog tower!" Liu Shi cursed.

It’s not enough to rely on language to judge whether the opponent is a player from another group. Only players in the same group do not provide automatic translation. Instead, players from outside the group have their own language conversion. The design of the light tower is clearly a point of view when strengthening the confrontation , and increased the difficulty of cooperation within the group.

Chandler picked up the rope on the deck and pointed to the sea: "Help?"

Luo Xiaobei was not the only one who fell into the water. There were many soldiers shouting and rising with the huge waves. The ropes were thrown down, but some soldiers suddenly yelled before they could catch the ropes, and were dragged into the water by some mysterious force. deep sea.

Liu Shi was shocked: "There is not only one kind of sea monster?"

At the head of the huge wave, many slender fish tails flashed by.

The questions of the contestants were uttered by the admiral, and the middle-aged NPC walked across the deck seriously: "Which one is the most beautiful siren?"

If the sea monster refers to bird sirens, then just keep fighting monsters and catch the most beautiful one. But if there are mermaids in the sea, who knows whether the king likes birds or fish? How do different types compare?

Both Liu Shi and Chandler tactfully remained silent.

Compared with being rewarded for fulfilling the king's orders, no one cared about the soldiers who fell into the sea.

hula-

Huge waves beat against the side of the ship, causing the ship to sway and shudder, but Liu Shi suddenly saw with sharp eyes that a drenched person was blown away by the waves, lying on the side of the ship, trying to climb up. There were sharp claw scratches on the shoulders and back, and blood was still oozing.

Luo Xiaobei cried while crawling, but fortunately his face was full of sea water, so his nose and tears could not be seen.

The sea monster he saw underwater was clearly Brother Lu!It's a pity that he didn't wait for the surprise expression on his face to finish, and his brother Lu directly pulled him out of the water with a tail!

That big tail! ! !

Look at this tail, it's big and long!

Luo Xiaobei was crying, and at the same time resigned himself to his fate and climbed onto the boat.

The crowd pulled the escaped companions onto the deck and treated the injuries briefly. Soon the raging sea subsided, and the sirens flew away in groups and disappeared from sight.

Liu Shi dragged him up.

"Are you okay, huh? Did you hit your nose?"

Luo Xiaobei pinched his bleeding nose and nodded vigorously.

Not knowing what Brother Lu was going to do, Luo Xiaobei hurriedly diverted his attention, no, no, no, thinking about it, Brother Lu's nose bleeds even more.

Moreover, Yuan Xingzhi was also classified into the sea monster race. He belatedly recalled the man with black wings on his back, Brother Yuan's muscles that could not be covered by feathers...

"Hey, why can't your nosebleed stop?"

The sound of flapping wings gradually faded away.

The sea was calm again.

But no one looked calm—because it was getting dark.

Krakens love the sea and the sky. They will appear in groups during the day and attack passing ships. At the same time, the system said that when the lights are on at night, other things will come to the ship.

The fog fell with the night, and when the lights on the boat were lit, Luo Xiaobei grunted in his throat. After thinking about it, he didn't know whether he should propose to turn off the lights.

Fu Chongming, the Duke of Rose, sat on the steps, looking at the uneasy contestants in front of him.

"Turn off the lights? Why?" Fu Chongming said lazily, picking up an orange.The contestant's eyes fluttered, sailing in the sea is very easy to get scurvy due to the scarcity of fresh fruits and vegetables, but this pirate leader just gnawed an apple and an orange, which made people's eyes hot.

"Because..." the contestant hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Because of deep sea ghosts, don't you know? There are water ghosts in this mist, which will be attracted by the lights at night and climb onto the deck ! Sailors know it!"

The contestant concealed his nervousness very well, but unfortunately Fu Chongming is a master scout, so such subtle changes in expression and body would not be missed by him.The contestants are respectful and apprehensive on the surface, but their bodies seem humble, but their muscles are tense and ready to fight back.

Fu Chongming hooked his fingers, leaned close to the contestant's ear, and whispered softly: "Then do you know that Duke Rose is much more dangerous than water ghosts? Huh?"

The contestant was nervous for a moment, Fu Chongming laughed, waved his hands and said to the new first officer at the helm, "Just follow the usual practice."

Fu Chongming had no idea how the pirate leader had dealt with it before. It would be better to let the NPC play freely. The first officer kept silent and hurriedly ordered his subordinates.

By convention——

The practice of the black pirate ship is, whether you are a god or a ghost, the Duke of Rose is the boss.

So Fu Chongming raised his eyebrows, watching the lights on the boat go out one by one, and then the first officer thoughtfully brought him a delicate small oil lamp, placed it beside him, and left with a flattering smile.

have to.The corner of Fu Chongming's mouth twitched.

The whole ship turned off the lights, and the pirate leader committed suicide, just like lighting up a lighthouse.

What is this operation?To be honest, Fu Chongming was a little confused.

The lamp was given by the chief mate, with a natural expression, so the pirate leader's character set comes with the item of lighting a lonely lamp at night. If you don't follow it, it may cause other crises.

Fu Chongming thought for a while, and found out the doubts in this link: since the opening of the light tower clearly reminds that the lights will attract some bad things, the contestants will definitely find a way to turn off the lights.

But if the lights can be turned off so easily, then what's the point of setting up the crisis at night.

He has a very strong memory, in order to prevent omissions, he wrote down that sentence on paper - "When the lights are on, those who have been lost in the deep sea for too long will follow the lights and return from the sea , board the deck, and return to the world of the living."

But Fu Chongming didn't quite understand that if the captain on other ships was an NPC and not a player, it would be difficult to turn off the lights, but since he is the one and only Duke of Rose, why couldn't he turn off the lights?

Therefore, there must be a reason on this ship that the lights cannot be extinguished.

And his fighting instinct told him not to easily experience the consequences of turning off the lights.

Luo Xiaobei snorted, opened his eyes, and wiped his saliva. There were scratches on his back, half of which were scratched by Yuan Xingzhi and Baiyu Siren, and half were scratched by Brother Lu. Luo Xiaobei wanted to cry but had no tears, but I can sleep on my stomach.

The position was so uncomfortable that he woke up several times in the middle of the night.

Warships have disciplinary inspections. Soldiers who are not on duty must sleep and cannot run around. Luo Xiaobei appeared in an office at the beginning of the day, which is an independent office. Who knows that there is no independent bedroom when he sleeps at night. The smell was a bit strong, so Luo Xiaobei sighed, clutching his nose stiffly and lying on the bed, feeling seasick.

He turned his head sleepily and saw a figure walk through the door.The cabin door opened, and the salty sea breeze outside the door blew into the cabin, and some people muttered a few times in discomfort.

The damp breath hits the face.

Another disciplinary inspection.

Luo Xiaobei's eyelids were a little heavy.

But suddenly, he was startled awake.

No, the light is coming from the deck, and the disciplinary inspector will bring another one himself. Why doesn't this man have a light?

The shadow of this person was swaying in the dark cabin, Luo Xiaobei took a closer look, and his mind was suddenly overwhelmed——

That figure was clearly wearing a big skirt!

His hand covering his nose suddenly changed to covering his mouth, and he held it tightly, absolutely not making a sound.

The figure of the woman moved forward slowly, there was no sound of footsteps, but another voice was very clear, even the swaying waves did not cover it.

——It was the sound of water droplets.

pat, pat.

The sound of water droplets breaking through could be clearly heard on the wooden deck, Luo Xiaobei was shaking all over, and in a prone position, he buried his face in the smelly pillow to prevent himself from screaming.

He is timid but rational: when he is haunted by ghosts, he shouts indiscriminately, whether he can wake up his companions or not, but it is safe to attract the attention of ghosts.

So Luo Xiaobei didn't move at all, his slight trembling didn't attract the attention of people or ghosts in the swaying cabin.

The cabin was dead silent, Luo Xiaobei thought for a while, and tremblingly activated [Quantum Mechanics].

Question: If I keep quiet tonight, will I die?

The answer came a little later: no.

Luo Xiaobei breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't dare to look up, the dim light on the deck made the cabin gloomy, and the shadow of the big skirt swayed in the room.

After a while, what seemed like a long time, the sound of water droplets gradually faded away.

Luo Xiaobei didn't know when he fell asleep.

But he was awakened by a scream.

Not too far from him, a group of soldiers in disheveled clothes surrounded a bed with bulges in the quilt. Luo Xiaobei went over to take a look, and immediately he was dizzy, nauseated, and fell to his knees and vomited violently.

The quilt, pillows, and sheets on the bed are all good, and the person in the quilt is still lying down.

It's just that many people screamed or vomited when they looked closely. The man's eyes were staring, his skin was pale and swollen, his hair was covered with seaweed and conch shells, his open mouth was filled with sea water, and there was a starfish in his clothes.

The military doctor on board quickly followed the admiral to arrive.

The military doctor looked terrified: "This man, yes, drowned!"

This person's nose is stuffed with water plants, and there is still water in his mouth.

But this person's clothes were dry, and he kept his sleeping position, covering himself with a quilt that was a bit dirty but definitely not wet.

Even if the man sneaked out, fell into the sea and drowned, who brought his body back?

Admiral: "What did the person on duty yesterday find?"

"Report sir, no."

"Sir, I, I seem to see someone walking on the deck."

"I'm sorry, sir... I thought it was some colleague who couldn't sleep and get up to blow the air, so I... didn't care."

The admiral looked gloomy: "What else?"

The military doctor suddenly said: "There are water stains on the ground!"

Traces of sea water dragged from the door to the bed and disappeared on the deck.

The military doctor's face was ugly: "Is it a water ghost? It must have been attracted by the lights last night! We can't turn on the lights tonight!"

"Nonsense!" the admiral said angrily, "You are shaking the morale of the army. With the lights off at night, we don't even have a guard post. If we are attacked by black ship pirates in the middle of the night, will it be yours or mine? Are you colluding with pirates? ?”

Two soldiers drew their knives threateningly.

"Although those pirates temporarily accepted the king's order, who knows if those guys are trustworthy? We are now in the open sea. When they kill us, the king will never know!" the admiral reprimanded.

The military doctor took a step back from his yelling, but didn't make a sound.

But Luo Xiaobei paid attention, the military doctor's expression was very unconvinced, he was not very in awe of the admiral, he was probably a contestant.

He thought for a while, but didn't speak.

Liu Shi leaned over to the window. This female contestant was bolder than the surrounding NPC soldiers. She looked at the corpse carefully and frowned slightly.

The sea water did come out of nowhere, and the man seemed indeed drowned, but Liu Shi picked up a piece of kelp from his neck, and found a strange red mark underneath.

As soon as she looked up, the admiral had already left, and two soldiers were coming in to carry the body away for disposal.

Luo Xiaobei glanced at her, Liu Shi was immersed in her own world, she raised her hand and compared the strange marks on the corpse's neck.

...it seems, not like being drowned.

The time of this game was fast-forwarded, Luo Xiaobei calculated, it was less than six hours during the day, and the siren attacked again in the middle, and after they exhausted themselves to drive away the siren, it was dark again.

The hours of day and night are half of normal.

Luo Xiaobei secretly observed that the military doctor was a contestant. After the admiral announced his dismissal, the military doctor did not go back to work honestly, but walked around on the boat. The excuse was to check yesterday's wounded. He also checked Luo Xiaobei's Injured, Luo Xiaobei didn't say anything unnecessary.

The two sergeants next to the admiral seemed to be contestants, and they seemed to be two female contestants, because the noble officers and soldiers on this official ship had the habit of wearing wigs and spraying perfume, so the female contestants were all disguised perfectly, but Luo Xiaobei I bumped into them when I was looking for a convenient place, and the two turned around and went out when they saw Luo Xiaobei was there.

In the evening, a system announcement suddenly broke the silence.

[Contestant Abby successfully knocked out contestant Zhang Pan, she shined brilliantly, rewarded with 1000 points, and rewarded with a clue about the most beautiful siren. 】

All the players were startled.

Someone really did it.

Everyone became more and more cautious, it was like dominoes, some things couldn't start like this.

What's more, drifting on this perilous sea for a few more days, the dangers will multiply every day, and that Abby just got a clue.

Night soon fell again.

Fu Chongming was still sitting on the bow of the boat, looking at the fog at night, with a single lamp beside him.

There was a plate of oranges next to him. No one dared to disturb the captain at night. He was trying to use the communication chip implanted in his body.

There are murmurs, but no echo.

Professor Charlie said that during the competition, if even the smart brain and the mobile phone are disabled, it is estimated that the communication will be impossible, and you can try it in the competition hall.

His ears moved slightly.

someone!

Fu Chongming got up suddenly, and threw out the S111 saber.

On the pitch-black deck, the saber reflects the moonlight.

Fu Chongming's eyes swept across the dead darkness, the waves beat against the ship's side, and the solitary lamp did not know what it was made of, and it burned quietly without smoke, no matter how strong the sea wind was, it could not be extinguished.

But the light seemed to flicker, Fu Chongming once again sensed the sound behind him, grabbed S111, turned over and jumped onto the bow in two steps.

There is a glimmer of light in the huge waves.

Fu Chongming saw four big and sharp characters beside the lonely lamp.

Somebody wrote four words on the deck with seawater. The handwriting was hasty, and the strokes were a little clumsy, but there was a sharp edge in each stroke.

"Can't turn off the lights".

On the pitch-black sea, the moonlight shone, and there was something reflecting the cold moonlight on the waves, Fu Chongming took a light breath.

The author has something to say: Fu 36: I think I saw something extraordinary. (cover nose)

Mr. Shuang: Donate the eyeballs if you don’t want them!

Little Xingxing: Uh, what to do, it’s actually because I’m too embarrassed to surface. (tail flick)
