Overshadowing the sun is always a demon
Chapter 144
When this commotion broke out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Such a big living person seemed to be melting in water, and he would be gone if he said nothing.
Old Pu got anxious and yelled at the sailors: "Whoever saw someone, tell me!"
A young man named Leopard stood up: "Da Meng followed me when I entered the water, and then separated."
Du Wei pressed, "Why did you separate?"
"The bottom of the water over there is very muddy. Da Meng gestured to me to search separately, so we went our separate ways... I thought he had come up long ago."
Zhao Xiaobo frowned: "Couldn't it have been drawn in by an undercurrent?"
"No, Dameng is one of the most fierce men on this ship. He has gone through a lot of swords and fires, so he won't make such a mistake." Du Wei shook his head, "At that time, I was shopping in Xisha..."
Old Pu immediately interrupted him: "Dawei!"
Only then did Du Wei realize that there was an outsider, Fadu, and immediately stopped talking.
Mengzi is their jargon, that is, sailors who salvage things at sea. Of course, they say they salvage sea cucumbers and sea urchins, but it is hard to say what they are actually doing.Before Yu Tian said that this ship came from a wrong path, and the pirate ship contacted Xisha to search for goods, so he could basically guess where they came from.
Fadu didn't care about that much, he just urged: "Why are you so dazed, don't you go down and save people?"
Old Pu remained silent, and no one in the sailors below said anything. After a while, Old Pu sighed: "Fill the gas cylinders, and go down to look for them."
The sailors took out the large cylinders containing compressed air to inflate the other small cylinders. Old Pu kept looking at the water surface with a sullen face, and the wrinkles on his forehead could kill mosquitoes.
Fa Du looked anxious for them: "Could you hurry up? Can you save people if this goes on?"
"Save someone, he is already dead right now." Zhao Xiaobo shook his head with a wry smile, "Do you know why everyone is quiet? It’s also useless. Even if you are lucky enough to find it, it will be thrown into the sea for burial in the end, do you think it makes any difference if you fish it or not?”
Fadu was stunned: "Then how do you explain it to his family?"
"Ten out of ten people on this boat are homeless people, orphans, abandoned babies, or orphans who grew up in orphanages. How can there be any family members?" Zhao Xiaobo's answer surprised Fadu.
"Then you...don't have a family?"
"Doing this business is precarious, what kind of family will you become?" Zhao Xiaobo just smiled wryly, "We just hope that one day we can make a fortune, and then go ashore to find a wife and start a family, and never go to sea again. The result... ...Look at Old Pu, at this age, he is still floating on the sea, occasionally picking up some small leaks, what does windfall look like, who has seen it?"
Fa Du followed with a smile, the diamond mine and the bone burning cave outside the Huasheng Temple, the gold pool in the desert king's tomb, there are endless treasures in the world, but everyone who has seen them is dead.
In a way, being poor is a good thing.
"Okay, let's go to the sea." Du Wei greeted, and the tired and paralyzed sailors all got up cursing, put on their equipment and prepared to jump into the water.
It was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was shining obliquely on the water surface. The clear blue between the waves and shadows of the water had turned into a deep blue, and the world under the water surface seemed even more mysterious.
This time the atmosphere in the water was much more dignified. Before the departure, Lao Pu had equipped all the teams with spear guns and underwater lights.
Fadu lay on the side of the boat and kept watching, but there was nothing to see, because the depth of the water was enough to cut off the light from the lights, and the sailors could still see the ray of light above their heads when they first entered the water. increase, this point of light also slowly returns to darkness.
The distance is only seven or eighty meters, but they don't know what's going on below.
"Fado, what are you doing?"
Xiaobai's voice made Fadu shudder suddenly, and then replied without embarrassment: "It's nothing, just take a look."
Xiaobai came up and unceremoniously broke his face: "Why is your reaction so strange?"
This time Fadu felt even more embarrassed, thinking of the scene of attacking Xiaobai before, he simply didn't know what expression to use to face him.
"You don't have to think about it." Xiaobai seemed to see through his thoughts, "People are already dull, and they think about so many miscellaneous things all day long, can your brain hold it?"
Fadu knelt down on the spot, hero, are you sent by heaven to punish me?
Xiao Bai lowered his voice: "You don't have to think about anything else, but you must beware of Yu Tian."
"Yu Tian?" Fa Du was puzzled, "Yu Tian's injuries haven't healed yet, and there is Rex on board this boat, why are you afraid of him?"
"I always feel that Yu Tian's words are incomplete and untrue, as if he is trying to hide something. This place is definitely not as simple as he said, so don't take it lightly." Xiaobai paused, "Besides, are you sure that Rex is really on our side ?"
Xiaobai's words made Fadu stunned: "What's wrong with Rex?"
"Since he came here for you from the beginning, why didn't he reveal his identity earlier? He tried his best to help us, but he didn't covet what we were looking for. The reasons he said were extremely attractive to us. Treasure hunting trials, inheriting the clan are all his one-sided claims, and no one can prove them. There must be something unknown under his innocent and harmless appearance."
"Do you think there is a problem with Rex's identity?"
"No." Xiaobai shook his head, "I think he has problems all over his body."
Just as Fadu was about to answer, a bone-chilling chill suddenly surged through his heart, and he stood up with a bang.
Xiaobai looked up at him: "What's wrong?"
"Did you feel... no, did you smell a fishy smell?"
Xiao Bai frowned: "I've been enduring the stinky fishy smell since I got on this boat."
"It's not the smell of fish, that smell... yes, it's the smell of corpses." Fadu trembled, and the chill traveled over his body, taking away all the warmth.
Xiaobai glanced at the surface of the water: "Your senses are sharper than mine, there must be an accident underwater."
Sure enough, all the underwater sailors came up in a short time, and as soon as they came out of the water, they crazily climbed towards the ship, shouting in disorder, and couldn't make out what they were shouting.
Fadu quickly stretched his head to look, and saw a faint green light shining more than ten meters below the sailor who was coming up. Although the light above was much brighter than the underwater lights, he couldn't tell what it was. , just followed behind the person unhurriedly, as if it was a cat teasing its prey.It followed until it reached near the water surface before suddenly turning and sinking into the water, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
"Come up, come up quickly!" The people on the ship were helping to drag the sailors onto the ship. The sailors on board were pale and collapsed on the deck. No one spoke for a long time.
Old Pu asked: "What's going on, what did you all see?"
"Ship." Leopard shook like chaff, pointed at Fadu, "There is an angel statue on the bow, and a skeleton on the top of the mast... It is a ghost ship he has seen..."
Du Wei asked: "Does this scare you like this?"
"We also saw... saw..." Leopard became hesitant, as if he couldn't be sure whether what he saw with his own eyes really happened, so he turned his head and looked at the sailor next to him who called Master Ban.
Master Ban was older and more experienced and calm among the sailors. His face was pale now, and he didn't even care about the water on his body. He only knew how to light his cigarette tremblingly, and it took a long time. Opened his mouth: "We saw Dameng."
"Seeing the corpse? Why didn't you bring it back?"
"No...it's not a corpse...he...he's alive..." Master Ban shuddered and couldn't continue.
Leopard swallowed: "He stood on the bow and smiled at us... he didn't even wear a respirator, and there were many balls of light around him, and he couldn't tell what it was..."
"Nonsense!" Old Pu interrupted him, "Da Meng has been with the boat for more than a year, and he is obviously a living person. You have seen people who can stay in the deep water for so long without wearing a respirator, and can Laughing at you?"
"I'm not talking nonsense...it's true! If you don't believe me, you can ask other people! The bright ones can be seen from far away!" Leopard cried out in disbelief, "I heard that ghost ships would catch people on board a few years ago. As a sailor, this time I really see you!"
Old Pu didn't believe what they said at all: "Impossible, it's because you are all too tired and nervous all the time to have hallucinations."
The leopard yelled: "So many people have hallucinations together?"
With such a commotion on the deck, people who were not alarmed were also alarmed. Rex came out from behind: "It is also possible for a group of people to hallucinate collectively. In such a dark and tense situation, if someone gives a hint, others will probably get the same judgment, just like a large-scale hypnosis show .”
Deng Chuan followed suit and nodded: "It may also be a kind of force that directly acts on the human cerebral cortex, so the same hallucination is produced."
"No, it's impossible." Master Ban shook his head, "I'm close, and I can see it clearly. I can tell whether it's a living person or hysterical. If you don't believe it, you can go down and see for yourself."
As soon as he said that, everyone on the deck fell silent, only the sound of white waves lapping against the bow of the ship was heard, and the deep water looked even more mysterious and terrifying.
"Okay, let's all go back and rest, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Old Pu finally sighed, turned his head and went back.
That dinner was very dull, everyone had their own concerns, and hardly spoke much.
There is no entertainment at sea, and everyone goes to bed early.Xiaobai lay down peacefully, not sure if he fell asleep or not.Fadu lay down first, then got up and began to meditate.
Xiaobai suddenly said: "Don't rest yet, aren't you tired?"
"So you haven't fallen asleep." Fadu smiled wryly, "It's okay, you go to sleep."
Xiaobai pointed out the problem once again: "Your behavior is not controlled by your thoughts at all. It is useless for you to try to suppress yourself with practice."
Fadu was immediately discouraged: "This is the only way I can think of."
"You don't need to take care of me in the first place. Even if I don't have a golden body, I can't fall into your hands." Xiaobai said.
Fadu looked at Xiaobai's pale cheeks, and suddenly laughed out loud: "I just thought of a word right now, it's about saving face..."
Xiaobai's eyes looked so cold that he wanted to kill, Fadu didn't dare to say anything.
After a long silence, Xiaobai suddenly said quietly in the darkness: "Fadou, I regret it."
Fadu replied in a daze, "Huh? What?"
"Knowing that this is Yu Tian's trap, I still let you step in step by step. Ever since I mentioned the return, I feel that this trip is more dangerous, maybe... I shouldn't take you into danger." Xiaobai's There was a rare emotion in the voice.
Fadu shook his head again and again: "I wanted to come here on my own, and it has nothing to do with you. It's just that instead of being able to help, I'm holding you back."
Xiaobai's tone immediately turned into the usual meanness and indifference: "That's right, the reason why you care so much about this mission is not because of my golden body, but because of extending Tang Shaolei's life."
Fadu: ...
Before Fadu had time to refute, he heard a knock on the door outside.
Rex shouted at the top of his throat in mandarin with the taste of Northeast China: "Oops, those sailors quit, and they all said that they will return tomorrow!"
Old Pu got anxious and yelled at the sailors: "Whoever saw someone, tell me!"
A young man named Leopard stood up: "Da Meng followed me when I entered the water, and then separated."
Du Wei pressed, "Why did you separate?"
"The bottom of the water over there is very muddy. Da Meng gestured to me to search separately, so we went our separate ways... I thought he had come up long ago."
