Chapter 13: Ghost shi+p (VI)

A cold shi+ver ran down Feng Yu Lan’s spine at Luo Jian’s cohosts He was absolutely terrified; he reached out and clutched Luo Jian’s sleeve, frightfully questioning, “Ah Jian, can we really escape?”

Would we truly be able escape? To be on board a dreadful, vacant ghost shi+p surrounded by the dark, vast seas that boundlessly extended past the horizons to a place where the eye couldn’t see, a ho Yu Lan simply could not understand how he cae place The only reason he could still be grateful was because Luo Jian was right beside him

Luo Jian perceived his fear After all, he was just as scared as he hen he first entered the chamber He was struck by sheer panic, pure terror, and insufferable hopelessness The only difference was that Luo Jian was extremely afraid, but he had no one there to stand at his side But at thisYu Lan had Luo Jian, he had the opportunity to depend on another person He could cling onto Luo Jian’s hand and never let go

Luo Jian soothingly caressed Feng Yu Lan’s head He directed a gentle s to reassure Ah Lan, calm his mind However, Luo Jian didn’t realize there were still traces of dried blood stuck to his face Regardless whether that blood was his or the ht, that blood made Luo Jian’s face appear evenYu Lan shuddered at the sight

Thereafter, Feng Yu Lan tightened his hold on the logbook and proceeded to interpret, “On August 10th, we tried to forget about yesterday’s incident The heavy rain continued pouring down”

“August…”

The contents of each page in the logbook were somewhat repetitive There were consistent records of the weather and wind direction; the navigating route as well as the crewmates’ daily lives were also written down There seeust 9th, the page that was torn off As aBut as time passed by, and as the pirate shi+p re for a full e

The captain scribbled one line at the beginning: Rowan had always mocked book started displaying records all of the different passengers who had disappeared each day One by one, the captain rearranged the na was illegible, distorted and blurry Feng Yu Lan could even sense a hint of insanity co ritten on Septeator, and two additional crewmates were the only people who hadn’t yet vanished from the shi+p Contrary to the usual, the captain did not record the weather or wind direction on this day He wildly scrawled a few sentences down; his cursive was sloppy, disorganized, as if he just hurried back from someplace and frantically recorded what he needed to impart:

“This fear that I’d suppressed in e beast that has now escaped froe I set up It has consumed my mind It has devoured my very soul! My men would disappear by the day; alas, I have finally discovered the truth! All of their bodies were found in the locked storage rooed into boxes I haven’t any tiht’ve occurred, for right behindIt was obvious that the captain was unable to finish writing down his sentence There was also a dark bloodstain on the paper, dried-up and black The running blood had coagulated and formed a thick scab

“It see as he listened to Feng Yu Lan translate orally “I had originally believed that the captain was the first one to provoke trouble on the shi+p, but it appears to have been so as we find the original culprit who caused all of that chaos?”

“That’s not necessarily so But I do know that only the truth can lead us to where the exit is” Luo Jian shook his head then looked back at Ah Lan “Ah Lan, follow me to the deck I just remembered that I found another corpse on the deck, and there was also a journal written in English Maybe it’s another clue”

The journey froh such a dark area was, if anything, a test of courage Feng Yu Lan’s guts were sainst Luo Jian’s back, repeatedly glancing over his shoulder with every s would attack hilanced back, the rew stronger Luo Jian was feeling helpless, so he strongly e Yu Lan around the shoulders and drew hiazed at Luo Jian with shi+ning eyes, then, in the next second, he covered his face in shairlfriend, stop being so nice to me!”

The veins popped out of Luo Jian’s forehead; he gave Feng Yu Lan a good srinded Ah Lan’s head with his knuckles, beating the poor boy Ah Lan then pitifully covered his head with his sly looked up at Luo Jian with tears in his eyes Luo Jian’s heart , but before he could speak, his heart started beating wildly against his chest!

Luo Jian’s sixth sense warned hi from up ahead

Luo Jian unsheathed his knife in one incredibly swiftYu Lan with his other hand and pinned hioing on right now, and he whined at Luo Jian And just at that moment, Luo Jian sensed a dark shadow dart before his eyes; it raced straight towards Luo Jian and was planning to pounce on hih his htly onto his knife, he swept his hand across the air in front of hih the body Luo Jian widened his eyes The bright oil laht, the next second it was dark At the sa was amiss He knew not to disturb, and so he peacefully stayedeyes

There was aon the floor before them, and it was exactly the same one Luo Jian had seen before! Luo Jian was positive that it was the same only because those fatal wounds on its neck were caused by Luo Jian But now, that injury no longer bled The flesh at theits white spine; its hideous face and bulging eyes, which reseave people the creeps

Feng Yu Lan didn’t dare screaainst the corner, hiding directly behind Luo Jian Feng Yu Lan ise He knew that he lacked strength and that he had zero fighting skills, in fact, he was far worse than Luo Jian when it came to that department, so he would only be a hindrance
