Chapter 169: White shi+p

Translator: Lonelytree

Although Gu Jun could not catch sight of the sun or even a wisp of a cloud, the sky was blindingly bright The heaven stretched forth like a wiped-out canvas The sea was still shrouded inthat suggested waves or aquatic activity There was definitely so supernatural about the h it, the mist appeared impenetrable, but should he try to look up into the sky, the ht at all From the moment Gu Jun stepped onto the deck, it felt like he was transported to Neverland With a little pixie dust and happy thoughts, he would lift himself up into the sky However, the wooden floor of the deck under his feet felt real and concrete; it did not feel like he was drea

Both he and Wu Siyu e a ninety-seven autoainst each other, covering the other’s blind spot as per their professional training The barrels of the guns swept their surroundings

The shi+p looked like a medieval era pirate shi+p The spacious deck was quite deserted There were three woodennylon ropes, and doors that appeared to lead deeper into the cabins The cabin door was blackened froed exposure to the elements It was left half-ajar, so Gu Jun could see the shape of the stairs that led below

“Be careful, I feel like we’re not the only ones…” Gu Jun whispered to Wu Siyu

At the saun”

“Yours too” Gu Jun sahat sheinto wisps of s completely Not only the automatics, the sniper rifles on their backs, the pistols strapped to their waist, the grenades and explosives, cold steel like daggers and knives, all the weaponry had all dissolved into smoke and become part of the mist

Gu Jun reached hurriedly toward the toolkit around his waist and let out a breath of relief The three medical Carlot instruer ical instrus, and syringes were left behind They quickly took an inventory of their other belongings Their phones, binoculars, flashlights, lighters, watches, water bottles, compass… those had all vanished Currently, other than the clothes on their backs and the snowshoes on their feet, as well as a few

“Okay,” Gu Jun said darkly, “it appears like we have officially landed in the dreas but leave the medical supplies for us?” Wu Siyu voiced the question out loud

“I have no clue” Gu Jun shook his head

Without the gun in his grasp, the anxiety gripped at his heart He was reminded of what Mr Chandler had said in the watcher’s dairy, ‘It is a glorious world, but glory comes with its risks… Should you happen to be one of the chosen ones, heed this advice—do worry about bringing anything with you You won’t want for anything there’

This was a dangerous world, and the island that they were searching for would be populated by cultists and zombies Without the protection of their weaponry and the depleting store of mental power to cast any more spells, Gu Jun felt instantly deflated

“Take this” Gu Jun handed the surgical scissors to Wu Siyu while he held onto the scalpel “At least they’re going to fare better than our bare fists”

After Wu Siyu accepted the scissors, she kept snapping them Click, click, the scissors went “Sorry, I suddenly felt the urge to cut soo toward the cabin to take a look” Gu Jun led carefully ahead He was tuning his ears to their surrounding as well as putting his sensors out for anything supernatural The pair ot closer to the door, they could hear so from the botto out, their screahtened There appeared to be some creatures locked at the bottom

Just as he was about to lean forward to take a better look, Wu Siyu behind him suddenly yelped in surprise “Ah”

Gu Jun instantly whipped his head around and saw that where they had just been stood, right next to the empty wooden barrels, stood a person as not there earlier

“I blinked,” Wu Siyu said, “and he was there”

The newcomer was an old man with a bushy beard He wore an old burlap robe without any stylistic decoration that outlined his thin body Even though the old man had a human face, he did not resemble any known huray beard dropped down to his chest But the strangest features were the wrinkles that pleated his face For a split second, Gu Jun thought he saw the wrinkles wiggle along his face like worms

Gu Jun shot a look at Wu Siyu as he slowly turned his body around He posed a question in Chinese “Old sir, how do you do? Can you understand us?”

“In this world, co as the speaker is willing to be understood, the listener will naturally understand” The gray-bearded elder responded casually The reply exe perfectly because the old e It did not reseuage, or the R’yleh language, but the pair found the the elder perfectly However, when they tried to reply in the sae, they found themselves unable to do so
