sincerity of lies

In a small room, the headlights were turned off.There is only one table lamp, which illuminates the square-inch table top, and there are several cracks horizontally on it, leaving dark cracks that even the light cannot penetrate.

A dark shadow loomed heavily.

It was a man who took a key to open the locked drawer of the desk and took out a thick notebook from it.

The black shadow opened the book, revealing the old yellowed paper sandwiched in the book.This book seems to contain a lot of such things, so it looks very heavy.The black shadow picked up the paper and shook it off. On the front of the paper, "Engineer Log" was written.

Engine log:

The 8th voyage March 1976, 3

Host

prime mover

Switchboard

……

Duty officer

Person on duty: Yang Jie Successor: Zhao Dasheng

Event: Conflict with the captain

Heiying turned over the 40-year-old voyage record. On the back of the logbook, several handwritten diaries were glued on. The paper of the diary was also yellowed, and the time written on it was also 1976.

The light reads out the contents of the diary silently.

1976. 3, 23

…It’s time for the boring sailing again. Get up, check the equipment, see the same sky and ocean as yesterday, and tear away a day of your precious life like tearing off a piece of light calendar paper.Such extravagant waste and extreme boredom will continue for another year, and life will be spent in this way until old age.As a result, looking back on the past, life is meaningless, and I dare not think deeply.

And I who wrote this line did not know that only 10 minutes later, I would get the biggest surprise of this trip.

When I was doing a routine inspection of the ship's power equipment, I found Miss Huo hiding in the box, Boss Huo's daughter, Huo Qiying.

The impact of that moment, the poor beggar dug up a box of gold, and the traveler walking in the desert saw a clear spring.This kind of excitement that reaches the soul comes not only from this unexpected meeting like a novel, but also from Miss Huo's beauty.

When I was still shocked, Ms. Huo had already recognized me, and she cried to me, crying about the strictness of her parents, the depression at home, and the sadness of being buried in the grave before she saw the world.

Of course I know, those of us who have been lucky enough to be in Boss Huo's house know that Boss Huo is strict with his daughter, but I always thought it was inevitable in the past, 'there is nothing wrong with beauty, the ones who covet beauty are the ones who are wrong' , This kind of words are just casual words from bystanders who are far away from the whirlpool. Being in the whirlpool, Boss Huo wants to protect his family and daughter, so he uses secular methods to control his daughter. There is not much to criticize For example, a person who is very wealthy will inevitably suspect that everyone who passes by him is a robber and thief.

But in terms of the world, how mediocre and boring is the life of the vast majority of people!

When Ms. Huo appeared in front of me and talked to me, I found that I could not use my reason to judge this matter, nor could I use the correct but mediocre way in the world (that is, tell the captain of Miss Huo's existence and ask the captain to turn around. Returning to the voyage, we have just set off for two days, and turning around at this time will not affect anything) to solve this matter.

I hid Miss Huo where she was.

Not intentionally, but I know that today, I have become a thief.

Steal the Blue Tears from Boss Huo's cache.

1976. 3, 26

It was only the third day, and everyone knew about Ms. Huo's existence, and I can't say that everyone knew about it. The chef in the kitchen, Chu Xingfa, knew about it.It was the result of my deliberation that Chu Xingfa found out.Ms. Huo is not a pet, so I can't feed her with some food every day, and every time I go to the kitchen to make a small stove, it also arouses Chu Xingfa's attention. From this point of view, it is beneficial for me and Miss Huo to let Chu Xingfa find out the truth, at least He has a few hands hidden, and the delicacies he cooks only when he is in a good mood are really good.

Chu Xingfa found out, and Lin Xiaodao, who was helping him, also knew about it. Lin Xiaodao and the sailors had a good time and lived in the same room, so the sailors knew about it, and the secret spread like this.

However, although the secret was passed on among the sailors, the management didn't know anything about it, and it was no surprise that the people above were often too lazy to look down. The premise of this was that everyone could keep a low profile.

Things backfired.

Chu Xingfa used precious ingredients to make delicious food from morning to night, and the sailors clamored to give Miss Huo new clothes. Of course there were no beautiful fabrics on board, so they focused their attention on the embroidered curtains.

I felt uneasy, but I couldn't stop it.

Their actions are not for me, but for Blue Tears. They want to stop them unless Blue Tears speaks.

In fact, I also want to dress up Blue Tears...

1976. 3, 31

The captain snatched my blue tears.

I have read all the diary pages glued to the back of this engine log.At the end of each page of the diary, there is the following line:

I, Lu Kun, promise that all the diaries on this page are written by myself, and I hereby explain.

After reading the contents of the front and back of this engine log, Soi Shadow folded it and put it back as it was, then picked up the pen again, took out another notebook from the hole in the table, and wrote:

September 2016, 4…

The mirror in the bathroom reflected Ji Xun's face, and on the sink under it were gold rings, gold necklaces, a suit jacket, and a silver mask.

The water from the faucet gurgled down into the porcelain basin, fingers, palms, backs of hands, and wrists. Ji Xun slowly cleaned his hands, dried them with paper, and then put on a suit jacket and a gold necklace in sequence.

"We will arrive at our destination in an hour."

The voice came in on the smell of nutty cigarettes.

Silver Lions.Meng Lingshan always smokes this brand of cigarettes, a man who has such a long love for cigarettes.Thinking about it, Ji Xun picked up the gold ring on the table and put it on his finger.

The rings are too big, one set will fall down after entering.

Ji Xun bent his fingers, hooked the ring, and pinched the ring with the other hand. With a little force, he pinched the ring with the hollowed-out Six Paths Vajra Mantra tightly, pinched it small, and pinched it to fit his finger, like a circle of curse seals, tightly Hitch your fingers.

"And this man?" he asked.

"Put it in the tool room. After we board Mr. Liu's boat and the boat returns, my people will take him away and keep him under surveillance."

The person they communicated with was lying on the tiled floor of the bathroom, sound asleep, and he didn't know who he was.

"The process after boarding the ship?"

"do not know."

"I don't know?" Ji Xun whispered.

"I've only been there once, so how could I know so much." Meng Lingshan said unhurriedly outside, "Let's play it by ear. Those things that are illegal and shocking are bound to happen."

Yes.

Meng Lingshan only got on the boat with Chen Jiashu once.

Later, Chen Jiashu died.

None of them mentioned Chen Jiashu, as if it was just an unimportant matter.

"By the way," Meng Lingshan said again, "I heard that there will be a grand event on this boat, so there are many people here."

"Not surprising." Ji Xun, "Today is April 4th."

"Yeah." Meng Lingshan bit his cigarette, his voice was a bit vague, "In two days, it will be Mazu's birthday."

"Is the camera ready?" Ji Xun asked again.

"Ah."

"Take it with you?"

"Hmph." Meng Lingshan teased, "You think you can handle it?"

From the small boat to the big boat, in addition to the confiscation of mobile phones, everyone will go through strict security checks, all of which are to prevent someone from bringing shooting storage devices on board.This inspection is not only aimed at the guests who come here, even the staff here are not spared.

Mr. Liu turned the ship into a gorgeous island.

It's just that I don't know if the people on board have the consciousness of stepping into a cage.

But imagine that the equipment must be brought on the ship, otherwise they will take the risk to get on the ship and get no results... Presumably, Meng Lingshan has also made safe arrangements for these camera equipment like the people under his feet. What kind of arrangement will it be? Woolen cloth?

Ji Xun put the last silver mask on his face, and the stranger was reflected in the mirror.

He opened the bathroom door and walked out, Meng Lingshan passed him by.

He walked into the cabin all the way, and every boss in the cabin wore a silver mask, and fell on the seat during the boring voyage.Those identical silver masks devoured people's faces and expressions, turning every living person into a dull statue.

Ji Xun walked through the cabin where no one could see anyone, and sat in the seat that belonged to him.

He turned his head and looked out of the boat. The water gushed under the window, and the sun in the distance was slowly falling into the deep sea stained red by its blood.

With a sound of "hum--", the hull of the ship shook, and they arrived at their destination.

At this time, the sun has been swallowed by the sea, and it is dark outside, but the cabin is illuminated by incandescent lamps. The statues crooked on the seats seem to have crashed into the soul with this collision, and they are impatient. Jumping up from their seats, they lined up in the aisle of the cabin, eagerly waiting for the front hatch to open.

Ji Xun walked at the end of the line.The long line crawled forward like a snail, and after Ji Xun counted from 1 to 100 and back to 100 from 1 for three rounds, it was finally his turn.

As soon as he lifted his foot and stepped out of the cabin door, the sound of the sea wind and waves became intense instantly. Ji Xun squinted his eyes, and after his eyes got used to the darkness, an orange life jacket was handed to him in front of him.

"Wear it." Still the smell of cigarettes with a nutty smell.

"Forget it. From the small boat to the big boat, just pass the gangway for a few steps, and we can still fall into the sea?" It was not Ji Xun who spoke, but the person behind Ji Xun.The man said impatiently, "I fell into the sea between the two boats. It's useless to wear a hundred life jackets."

"This is the rule, it has always been like this." Meng Lingshan kept his expression on his face, he was talking to the people behind Ji Xun, but his eyes touched Ji Xun lightly, "Boss, please don't make it difficult for the people under us."

Ji Xun didn't speak the whole time, just took the lifejacket from Meng Lingshan's hand and put it on his body. At this moment, he realized where the camera they were going to bring on board was hidden.

— in lifejackets.

clever.

So smart.

As he moved forward, he thought.

If it is placed on a human body, it cannot pass the security check at all; if it is placed in other places, how can it be safely transported on a giant ship like an isolated island in Shanghai?

It is only safe and convenient to hide in a life jacket.This thing that belongs to the giant ship will not attract additional inspection by the staff, and because it is used for boarding and disembarking, it will be stored centrally and properly.

After the strict security check when boarding the ship is over, the people on board will no longer suspect that someone is carrying camera equipment. At this time, he or Meng Lingshan sneaked into the storage place, got the camera equipment, and walked a hundred steps after boarding the ship. Just left halfway.

While thinking about it, when the gangway was finished, the people in front of him suddenly fell into the giant ship like white ghosts in the night.

Ji Xun followed on board the giant ship, and the lights were instantly bright. He stepped on the scarlet carpet as soft as a woman's body, and he was already in a luxurious and cold world.
