I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chapter 525 Ghost Ship

"Well, I'll let you know as soon as I find anything, but we won't stay here long."

"Then please."

The boss bowed deeply to the two men.

"I have already booked a flight to the next stop. I thought things in Kai Village would be very troublesome, but now they have been completed ahead of time. There are very few flights, and I can't sign them yet. We need to stay here for one more day."

"Uh... ok."

To be honest, Chen Xi didn't want to stay here any longer, but things had come to this, so he could only nod and agree.

"The scenery here is so beautiful, don't you want to travel?"

"The weather at sea is unpredictable, so it's better not to run around."

"Oh? I didn't see you so scared the last time we went to the Great Ocean Road."

"I'm not scared at all. I'm just worried about my safety." Chen Xi buried his head in his food, trying to hide the expression on his face.

"Haha, your reaction is really weird. I want to see the Heart-Shaped Reef and go skydiving."

"Ok."

Seeing that Shen Xinyi wanted to go so much, Chen Xi could only agree.

For girls who come to Australia to study, the Heart Reef has undoubtedly become their first choice romantic landmark.

The Heart Reef, with its unique and charming heart-shaped outline embedded in the blue sea, is not only a masterpiece of nature's magic, but also a symbol of love and dreams in the hearts of countless people.

"Please!" After the meal, the boss bowed deeply to the two of them before leaving.

"Don't hold out too much hope. By the way, how did your niece disappear?" Chen Xi felt that this uncle was a bit pitiful, so he asked.

"She went to the beach alone and never came back..."

"understood……"

Chen Xi hesitated to speak.

Kaicun actually had quite a few Sakura countrymen providing special services here. He guessed that the girl might have been abducted into the prostitute industry by her fellow countrymen, but how could he say such a thing?

"This girl is so pitiful. She is so young..." Shen Xinyi said after leaving the store.

"Actually, many people disappear abroad every year, so it's better not to travel to remote areas alone." Chen Xi recalled the experience of going to Uluru in his previous life. It is located in the central area of ​​Australia and has the famous Ayers Rock, the world's largest rock. The road is all desert, even more desolate than the western part of the United States. There is no signal on the mobile phone, and even GPS sometimes cannot be used.

You need to drive two or more cars to go there. If something happens there, such as being captured by criminals or indigenous people, you will really disappear from the world.

The indigenous people mentioned here are not the kind seen on TV. They also use lighters to live, but they still retain the habit of hunting with bows and arrows. Some of them even speak English.

They are divided into several tribal groups that gather once a year. They have their own language, social structure and religious customs.

According to legend, a superpower once used the desolate land in central Australia as a target range for nuclear tests, which led to the disappearance of many indigenous people, which made many local indigenous people hate white people. However, this is just hearsay and should not be taken seriously.

Kai Village is next to the sea, the weather is unpredictable, and most importantly, there are illegal immigrants. If the girl is unlucky and sees something she shouldn't see, she may be killed.

"Okay, don't think about it. We are just here on a business trip. Saving people is the police's job." Chen Xi took out his cell phone and called a taxi.

"I originally thought you were the kind of chivalrous man, but now it seems that you are not."

"Knights? That thing only appears in TV dramas. My style of doing things has always been to mind my own business."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, if it were other boys, they would probably pretend to be righteous in front of others in order to win the favor of girls. Why do you do the opposite?"

"That's something only kids can do to show off. I'm not Batman." Chen Xi smiled, opened the door of the taxi, and made a gesture of invitation.

Late at night, Chen Xi was lying on the big bed in the hotel, talking on the phone with Shazhi.

"Baby, I'm leaving now. How is Jin Nana?"

"Why are you so concerned about her right away without asking me how I'm doing? Are you really going to turn your fake into real?" Saori's teasing voice came from the other end of the phone.

"How could that be? She is your best friend."

"I often read news reports about a man having an affair with his wife's best friend, and then marrying his ex-wife's best friend after the divorce."

"Hahaha, you really know how to joke."

"Don't worry, Nana is fine. She even took me shopping today. By the way, I forgot to ask who you went on the business trip with."

"And...and Shen Xinyi. But don't think too much, we sleep separately." Chen Xi didn't want to lie to her, so he told the truth.

"Well, don't let any more of them come out. I can't stand it if any more." Saori didn't make a fuss unreasonably, but just reminded him lightly.

The meaning of her words was very clear: don't create another Zhao Lingshan.

Oh, I finally understand how difficult it was for the ancient emperors. With so many women, there were more things to do, and it was so difficult to get along with them.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xi sighed.

"Ding Dong." Suddenly the doorbell rang. Chen Xi opened the door and saw Shen Xinyi standing at the door, neatly dressed.

"I can't sleep, how about going down and having a couple of drinks?"

"Ah, you still drink?"

Chen Xi had rarely seen Shen Xinyi drink, and thought that she didn't like drinking.

"it is good."

He responded and walked out of the room.

It was the World Cup qualifiers right now, and the bar was still very lively. The two found a seat and sat down.

Watching the football game on TV, Chen Xi's mind was in a daze. He didn't realize that it had been three years since he was reborn.

"Yo, we from Sakura Country must be in the top three this time!" shouted a Sakura Country drinker with a slicked-back hair.

"Top three? Haha, I've never seen an Asian team make it to the top three." A foreigner took a swig of beer and teased the Asian in front of him.

"Why not? Our country's football team is number one in Asia! And in the future it will be number one in the world!" The man with the slicked-back hair was obviously drunk and started talking nonsense.

Chen Xi laughed in his heart as he listened to this. Although the Sakura Country team played well, they were still far from being the best in the world. Any team in Europe could beat them.

"Asians don't have good physical fitness, and have never had a place in extremely physically demanding sports like basketball and football. Your Sakura Country team can only bully the Korean team and the Chinese team in Asia. By the way, why does the Chinese team perform so poorly every year? Don't they have a large population? Is it so difficult to select a few people to play football?" Another foreigner interrupted.

"I know this! In Chinese culture, lawns are considered accessories to flowers and trees, and the Chinese regard them as a whole. They have been taught since childhood not to destroy flowers, plants and trees at will, so when they grow up they form the concept of not trampling on lawns at will. This is why Chinese players cannot let go when playing football on the lawn!" A tattooed man explained loudly.

"Cough~" Chen Xi, who was drinking, choked. He really admired the imagination of this foreigner. He could actually come up with such a weird explanation.

"Haha, these foreigners have a rich imagination." Shen Xinyi also laughed. In this era, despite the surging tide of globalization, many foreign friends still have a relatively one-sided and backward understanding of China.

It was as if there was an invisible wall separating China from the rest of the world. Their knowledge of China usually came from old books, news reports, and those yellowed old photos.

Take Chen Xi's first homestay host as an example. He was an ocean researcher who had been to other countries more often than other foreigners. When Chen Xi chatted with him, his impression of China was still that the streets were full of bicycles. It is easy to imagine what other foreigners think.

When it comes to Chinese football, its unsatisfactory performance is not entirely due to the physical fitness of the athletes. Looking back, Chinese football was once glorious, defeating strong enemies with its strong power, such as its glorious record against the Korean country in the past. The current reversal actually reflects the complexity of the development of football, involving profound changes and challenges in multiple levels such as culture, system, and youth training system.

Therefore, for the outside world, to fully and deeply understand today's Chinese football, it is not enough to just watch a few games.

"Foreigners look down on our football so much, why don't you go up and say a few words to show your patriotism?" Shen Xinyi playfully raised her glass and clinked it with his.

"What they said was the truth. If I insist on pretending to be rich, that would be despised. Besides, this football problem cannot be solved by just one sentence from me."

Chen Xi tilted his head back and took a big sip of wine.

"You guys are really weird. Many Sakura people have disappeared recently. As their compatriots, you don't even go to look for them. Instead, you are here drinking and watching the World Cup."

"What does it have to do with me? I didn't take the person away. This matter should be handled by the police." The man with the slicked-back hair felt that those foreigners were deliberately teasing him, so his tone became a little harder.

"I heard that a ghost ship appeared on the sea recently. Could it be that those people were captured by the ghost ship?" said a drunkard drunkenly.

"Hahahaha, it's the 21st century and you're still telling ghost stories."

"That's right. This isn't Bermuda. Where did the ghost ship come from?"

"I think you're just drunk and talking nonsense."

"He's not talking nonsense. I have seen a ghost ship. Once when I was out to sea..."

"Alright, alright. You two can go home and get some sleep."

The words of the drunkards seemed very funny, but when Chen Xi heard them, they felt a little strange.

There have been several foreign movies about ghost ships, which unfolded a gripping plot around the legendary "ghost ship".

These stories begin with a ship forgotten by time that mysteriously emerges on the sea surface. It floats alone, attracting people on passing ships to board this ominous ship out of endless curiosity and desire to explore.

However, every time they approached, the crew members would mysteriously disappear, as if being swallowed by an invisible force, and this sea area was gradually shrouded in a thick layer of fear and mystery.

As time went by, the horror legend about the ship spread in the surrounding waters. People were terrified when talking about it, and regarded it as an ominous symbol and avoided it as much as possible. However, behind the layers of fog, there is a more shocking truth. The ship is not inhabited by supernatural ghosts, but hides a coveted huge wealth - gold.

It turns out that all these terrors and disappearances were conspiracies of greed and evil. All those who boarded the ship were killed by criminals. There was no such thing as any supernatural event at all.

However, movies are movies, and reality is reality. This is Kai Village, a famous tourist destination. If there were any ghost ships around, they would have been dealt with by the Australian authorities long ago, and there is no way they would still be drifting on the sea.

"A ghost ship, it sounds scary, what do you think?" Shen Xinyi's eyes were gleaming with a tipsy light, she bent her five fingers and made a scary gesture. This was very different from her usual gentleness and generosity, but unexpectedly added a bit of rare playfulness and cuteness.

"Can you trust what drunks say? In addition to drinking, they might also take drugs. Some people are afraid of being discovered by the police, so they go to the beach or the sea to secretly have fun. Most of them are hallucinating."

"So how do you think these people disappeared?"

"I don't know. It's probably related to some criminals. Some businesses are not acceptable, such as illegal erotic services, and some... Look at the missing girl. She's young and beautiful, and she's a foreigner. She's exactly the target of some organizations."

"Hehe, you sound so scary. Tell me, if I get caught by those organizations, will you ignore me?" Shen Xinyi played with the wine glass, her cheeks flushed, looking very tempting.

"No." Chen Xi said seriously.

"Those illegal organizations are very dangerous. They should have knives and guns. Aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid."

"Are you afraid you'll still save me?"

"Ah."

Chen Xi nodded, and the two exchanged glances, neither of them staying on this topic. Both of them understood each other's feelings.

"Hahaha, we won. I said our Sakura team is the best in Asia. Your Australian team is all white, but they are not as good as us. Physical fitness is bullshit. Cooperation makes up for everything!" The Sakura team won the game, which made the big-slicked-back hair very happy. He stood up and mocked the foreigners just now.

Although Australia belongs to Oceania, its football matches are classified by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). Although Australian football is a strong team in Oceania, it cannot represent anything because the overall football level in Oceania is relatively low.

The Sakura Country team and the Australian team are about the same, with Sakura Country slightly higher than Australia in the international ranking.

"Why are you so arrogant, you Japanese? Be careful or you might disappear one day. I heard that all the missing people are Asians, and it seems that they are all you Japanese..." The drunk foreigner retorted rudely.

"Let's go, we've had enough to drink. I think if we stay any longer, these two groups will end up fighting sooner or later." Chen Xi secretly pointed at the two quarreling gangs.

"Yeah." Shen Xinyi nodded and stood up shakily.

At night in Kai Village, the air was filled with a slightly cool breath. Shen Xinyi had just left the bar when a chill passed over her shoulders. Seeing this, Chen Xi took off his coat and put it on her shoulders.

The two walked side by side, slowly pacing towards the hotel in the long night. The moonlight and street lights intertwined soft light and shadow, outlining a warm and romantic outline for the couple.

Not long after they left, there was a crackling sound in the bar, and it was obvious that a drunk man with a slicked-back hair started performing karate.

The next day.

One of the popular tourist activities in Kai Village is skydiving, which is divided into two types, one is 7500 feet and the other is 15000 feet.

The price is probably a few hundred dollars, but taking photos will cost a few hundred more, so the total price is about one thousand dollars.

The whole process of skydiving is accompanied by a professional instructor, who will let you coordinate with the movements in the air, mainly to let you experience free fall and paragliding. In fact, for most people, this project is purely for taking photos and showing off.

Chen Xi felt that it was not as practical to fly a glider. He used to fly a plane for only two thousand dollars each time, which was much more cost-effective than this.

Damn ghost ship, I didn’t even see it when I was so high in the sky just now.

Chen Xi, who came down from the sky, complained in his heart.

He just looked around on the paraglider and didn't see any larger boat.

There were only a few speedboats on the sea, and the ghost ship he imagined was at least a cargo ship.

"I'll keep the photos, otherwise your girlfriend will be jealous if she sees them." Shen Xinyi came over with a few photos.

"It's nothing. I told her that we are going on a business trip together."

"Oh? Then I'll give you one?"

"never mind."

"Giggle."

Seeing Chen Xi's embarrassment, she couldn't help but laugh.
