“A ghost shi+p” Luo Jian didn’t kno to explain the situation, so he could only give a brief statement
“Ghost shi+p… …?” His voice faltered The two people suddenly felt the hull beneath them rock violently, as if a uely heard the sound of the heavy rain pouring down on the surface of the water The seas were raging outside, signaling the cos of a stor Yu Lan incredulously de on a shi+p?! It’s so dark!”
There was only an oil lalow of the light only added to s Yu Lan looked back at Luo Jian, fear evident in his eyes Luo Jian got up from the bed His leather sheath was fastened at his waist, conveniently allowing hi Yu Lan tre this scene
He sed his thick saliva, cautiously probing, “Jian, what are you going to do with that knife?”
Luo Jian subconsciously licked his lips and uttered tords, “To kill1!”
I Yu Lan about their current predica the cha Yu Lan with a bewildered expression on his face followed him from behind They still needed to find the exit, and not one place here was entirely safe
In order to save ti Yu Lan as they walked; he relish was exceptional In fact, he n co with a whole bunch of foreigners Later on, he had no intentions of continuing, so he resigned, and afterwards, he decided to give a try at translating
Putting all his faith on Feng Yu Lan, Luo Jian pushed the logbook to his hands Ah Lan was feeling rather distraught, but he had no choice He scrunched his brows and pursed his lips trying to read the illegible and distorted cursive writings in the di In the end, he helplessly co just looks like a whole bunch of scribbles…and…the log is too old, a lot of the words are blurred!”
“That’s not important! You can just read out whatever you do understand! There will always be so at thisYu Lan with one hand and gripping his knife in the other Since one of his hands was being held by Luo Jian’s, Feng Yu Lan carried the logbook in his other hand and silently bowed his head He began to read slowly and carefully
“The tiust 6, 1655, the mid-seventeenth century… The captain was the one to write in this logbook, but I can’t see the name because it’s too sloppy to read Let’s see…the first day of fog…the wind direction, distance, time, course of action and all the like are all recorded down, and the captain su cannot stop our ambitions”
“The direction of the wind isn’t i else that the captain mentioned at the end, whatever he concluded with” Luo Jian continued holding onto Feng Yu Lan’s hand and advanced cautiously, constantly re in all directions while carefully paying attention to Feng Yu Lan’s words at the sahtly difficult, it was stillYu Lan understood what Luo Jian was trying to get at, and he continued on with reading aloud:
“On August 7th, the navigator stated that the weather would soon clear up Incidentally, the weather has been nothing but glooust 8th, a minor skirmish broke out between Jerry and Luke The rain still hasn’t stopped”
“On August 10th…”
“Wait” Luo Jian interrupted, a frown ust 9th?”
“I don’t know The page was ripped off”
“Well, let’s speculate then Maybe that s terrible happened that made the captain feel like he shouldn’t mention it, so the captain decided it had to be erased frobook?”
“What could it be? Could someone have died?”
“No no no, even if soe off You have to know that this shi+p was originally a pirate shi+p The men on board were all convicts Perhaps even the deadliest of killers Not to hteenth centuries, which was the era of chaos So, it wouldn’t be surprising if one or two people died”
“Since it’s not related to someone’s death, then what could it be?”
Luo Jian thought about it for a moment, then chuckled, “Well, this shi+p’s known as the Ghost shi+p now Perhaps it truly has sohosts”
