Chapter 12: Ghost shi+p (V)
Luo Jian stumbled around the hold of the shi+p, and he eventually went to one of the crew cabins with Feng Yu Lan to find some clothes There was only one bed, but that wasYu Lan rest co the way, Luo Jian didn’t dare take unnecessary steps for he feared that soe hidden in the dark would suddenly pop out and attack theot to the place, Luo Jian surveyed the area once more The crew cabin was tiny and quaint; there was a bed, a wardrobe, a s nothing aently laid him down, then he walked back to the door and locked it froht, faintly illu the small space Luo Jian then placed a couple of itebook, a cross pendant, a note with a purple design, and a silver pocket watch
After that, he carefully patted Feng Yu Lan down,every part of his body The other barely carried ite in his thin, hospital gown After searching for a long time, Luo Jian finally found a familiar printed slip of paper on hi it over Both he and Luo Jian entered the cha Yu Lan’s first chamber experience, and he had to escape fro Yu Lan clearly wasn’t able to succeed In the end, Luo Jian was the one who found hi hie on the card, Luo Jian puzzled over the few hints Deter that the hints were of little value, he flipped the paper over to see ritten on the back Surprisingly, the passage written on the back of Feng Yu Lan’s note was completely different to that written on Luo Jian’s note
【The sailing vessel entered the thick, illusory fog; the sailors could no longer find their way out They endlessly panicked, they futilely struggled, the overwheluish penetrated their minds They were forever doomed for despair, to suffer day after day The captain was the first one to break down under the agonizing pressure The dark, coercing fog and the despondent blackness of the sea gave rise to the wicked devils in his heart He instigated a few loyal, deranged crewer on the shi+p The unfortunate victim had every limb of his broken, and the poor felloas shoved into a narrow box A whole month passed, different people disappeared one after another; ers on the shi+p died by the day The boxes in the storerooher It was as if the souls could reach the skies; they could fly to the heavens one by one But, alas, no one ever escaped fro the passage, and he noted a few things
First, he and Feng Yu Lan both had different es written on their respective slips of paper Theto the condition of the environment, that was to say, their situation
Second, several clues ritten on the back of their notes, and there was also a direct connection between both passages The two passages were parts of a whole, and they had to be pieced together in order to obtain the true, full passage
Third, if Luo Jian gave up on searching for his partner, and if he failed to rescue Feng Yu Lan in tie And he most likely would have lost an opportunity to find a faster way to escape from this place!
In conclusion, the chambers wouldn’t set up a scenario that was one hundred percent hopeless Everyone had an opportunity to escape The chance of two people escaping was infinitely greater than that of a single person Therefore, having a companion wasn’t ard, the chamber seemed to promote teamwork
Luo Jian frowned as he conte Yu Lan and then, without a second thought, he reached out to feel Feng Yu Lan’s forehead A slight fever That wasn’t a good sign That only reatly fall short of what he had planned If there were any accidents, and Luo Jian and Feng Yu Lan happened to separate fro Yu Lan definitely wouldn’t be able to defend hiainst a monster
“Don’t think about the monsters, concentrate on the riddles,” Luo Jian willed hian to parse the contents on the two sheets of paper
Originally, this ghost shi+p was a pirate vessel They looted treasures and confiscated anything of value, but no later, they accidentally sailed through the Berle Nu into this sea, never to be found again The most perilous sea, a sea filled with mysteries, filled with the unknown, that was, precisely, the Devil’s Triangle
WhichYu Lan’s note, the shi+p sailed into a dark, vast fog Then it completely lost its way The heavyeverything in sight As tiued with desolation Chaos soon erupted The first to cause a disturbance on board was the captain of the shi+p The first victiht of the body crammed in the wooden box on the deck
There were still a couple of details Luo Jian couldn’t comprehend For instance, that box on the deck and the dead body inside Why wasn’t it stacked in the storage roo alone on the deck, fully exposed to the changing weather
Furthermore, that eerie photo on the corpse
As well as the inexplicable disappearance of that feline creature’s remains
Yet, as a nored by Luo Jian, as they were irrelevant, completely unrelated to the main clues For the sake of sied like that to let Luo Jian find the exit with ease After all, the chaical; therefore, the er appeared to be startling or bizarre
Luo Jian sighed He was feeling drained, both physically and y than physical activities, he wasn’t even feeling this exhausted when he went up against that creature And so, he decided to lay down next to Feng Yu Lan and silently pulled the thick covers over their bodies
Luo Jian was so tired He just wanted to fall asleep, but he couldn’t They only had six hours to stay on this shi+p, and time often flew by fast when people slept Luo Jian would probably die while drearadually descended upon him Luo Jian yawned and eventually succuht, the hand of the silver pocket watch on the table ticked by About half an hour later, Luo Jian woke up with a start, dazedly looking around As he slowly gained awareness, he noticed Feng Yu Lan tossing and turning, groaning while clutching his head
“Head is dizzy! Mouth is thirsty!” Feng Yu Lan woke up s seemed to be different He swiveled around to see Luo Jian beside him, and he was stunned for ahi pathetically, tears streahtmare!”
Luo Jian was rather perplexed, but he still followed up with a question, “What kind of nightmare?”
“I drea ti outside, laughing like crazy!” Feng Yu Lan sniffed and hiccupped, pitifully sprawling hily, “Ah Jian! How could you do this to me! You don’t love ! Still dreaobs Yu Lan’s head Feng Yu Lan pawed at his hands, then covered his head and continued to whine miserably, “Don’t hit! Don’t hit! Will beco Yu Lan finally recovered, he noticed that the situation seelanced around the s and asking, “Ah Jian, where are we?”
