Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 439: The shadow on the boat, the singing suddenly reaches 4k+
"Well, I'm going back to my room to sleep.

Do you want me to bring you a light? Oh, no, that's fine, you should go to bed early, and if you want to eat something these two days, just tell me, you're welcome.

By the way, just in case, just in case you remember anything, remember to tell me."

Liu Yonglu came out of the room carrying a tray. This room was vacated for Pastor Fengse to live in.

Although the savage had been inspired by the saint on the isolated island that day and had tried his best to recall the past, perhaps those fragments were too unbelievable, or perhaps the long period of isolation had brought Fonsai's will to the brink of collapse. In any case, the information obtained from him was still intermittent.

The way to get deeper into the Mermaid Sea lies beneath the eerie singing, and the thing that made the singing set a trap, and Fonsai's other companions died in the trap.

There was no other choice but for Liu Yonglu to take Pastor Fengse back to his dog Riding Rabbit.

There had been occasional smuggling ships passing by the island before, but Pastor Fonse never dared to go with them. He had a natural fear of the fog and singing that were everywhere on the sea. This time, only because Saint Balaam was there did he dare to get on board with them.

Liu Yonglu's plan was to take him to the southern continent after they got out of the Mermaid Sea. If there were people from the Saint's Sect there, they would send this poor man back to the Holy See on the way.

"Sing... sing... sing..."

Looking at the pitch-black sea, Liu Yonglu muttered to himself.

He threw the dishes on the tray into the kitchen sink, washed his hands, and prepared to go back to his bedroom to rest.

kindness?
Liu Yonglu's eyes caught sight of the wastebasket next to the sink, and he bent down and picked up seven or eight crumpled cardboard cards from it.

When he spread it out, he saw that they were the cigarette cards he had collected before. This set was a picture of the Saint receiving gifts. There were eight cards in total, and Liu Yonglu had collected five of them. The pictures in this set all depicted the Saint, and told the story of the Saint accepting gifts from the Prophet on the mountain after the end of the holy war.

Eh? I had clearly put it in my notebook before, and the notebook was in my coat pocket, how come it was suddenly thrown into the box?

Liu Yonglu was a money-grubber. He was thinking about collecting cigarette cards while smoking Cosmos brand cigarettes, so that he could redeem the prizes at the Holy See when he had the chance.

He can search his own coat pockets and even dares to throw his own things away. No need to ask... it's just a grain of rice.

Liu Yonglu scratched the back of his head, and seeing that the light was still on in the captain's room, he pushed the door and walked in. At this time, there was a pile of books on the large table in the captain's room, and Millie Tang was sitting at the table wearing glasses and writing furiously.

Millie Tang actually has no problem with her eyesight, but sometimes when she reads late at night she will wear round-framed gold-rimmed glasses. She says it is to prevent fatigue.

"Mi Li'er, are you still... busy? It's so late, why don't you go to bed first?"

Liu Yonglu originally wanted to tease Millie Tang with the cigarette card, but he felt embarrassed to joke when he saw that she was still working overtime.

“Well, I did some research before entering the Lost Sea, and I thought it was quite sufficient. But after entering, I found that the situation in the Lost Sea was far more complicated than I imagined.

Go, make me a cup of black tea."

Perhaps she was tired from reading, Millie Tang was rarely trying to do two things at once. She raised her head, clenched her hands into fists, and stretched them behind her back.

"Is there so much work to do? Fonsai has provided a lot of information. Now we just need to wait for that strange song to appear."

Liu Yonglu happily found a tea bag to make tea.

“The information he provided was indeed very helpful, but what is the connection between the trap in the mermaid’s sea, the myth found in the Holy See, and Lin Brown’s experience?

The evil god rooted deep in Lin Brown’s soul is of high status…”

Millie Tang recalled the scene when she and Liu Yonglu entered Lin Brown's room in Baldwin Monastery. Being able to control a person for nearly ten years and repair his body infinitely... this ability is incredible.

Considering that the cat god Bastet had only resurrected himself eight times in dreams, Milly Tang felt that this mission was a bit tricky.

"Now we should be sure that the cursed island mentioned by Lin Brown is in the Mermaid Sea, so the song will directly guide us to the cursed island?"

Mili Tang pursed her lips, took Liu Yonglu's black tea, took a sip, and asked herself:

“It doesn’t seem like it. Rembrandt didn’t mention the white fog, and Fonsai had never seen a temple-like building.

That is to say... the Mermaid Sea is only the first step to the Cursed Island.

Considering the size of the entire sea area, the cursed island should most likely be in these three places."

Millie Tang may have forgotten that Liu Yonglu didn't understand at all, and she pointed at the map with a pen and began to analyze it with great interest.

"Hey, you are really knowledgeable."

“Besides, there are no supply points after entering the Mermaid Sea. I thought that I should try to solve the troubles on the Cursed Island within 10 days.

This way we still have enough supplies to reach Kurt. Of course, I left enough time because I was worried that the Kurts would not be so friendly to us. I made a backup plan to land in other places, such as Alawi. "

Millie Tang talked incessantly, and Liu Yonglu, the poor chess player, occasionally gave some advice.

“There’s nothing for you to do here, remember to visit Mr. Shani before going to bed.

By the way, what are you holding in your hand?

After all, Mr. Shani is a member of the gods' family, so Millie Tang is not completely confident in him. After Xiaohu and Ling'er left, only Liu Yonglu can control him. So Millie Tang assigned Liu Yonglu a task, which was to make up a reason to go and see his disciple every night.

"Oh, this... this... I was just eating melon seeds and I squeezed the shells. I'm throwing them away now."

Liu Yonglu is not an ungrateful person. It's just a few cigarette cards anyway. There's no need to quarrel with his wife, especially since Mi Li'er has been having a hard time during this period. Don't let others think you are petty.

He smiled and moved to the corner and threw the cigarette card into the trash can from behind.

Less than three minutes after Liu Yonglu left, Millie Tang stretched her neck to look at the door. When she heard no more footsteps in the corridor, she walked to the trash can and looked inside. She couldn't help but smile.

The door leading to the deck from the cabin of the Dog Riding Rabbit was opened by Liu Yonglu, who held an oil lamp in one hand and wrapped the collar of his sailor's uniform with the other.

After coming out of the captain's room, he went to Shani's bedroom first. He knocked on the door but no one answered. He turned around and took a look in the kitchen. The lights were off and no one was there.

It was strange. Where had his fat apprentice gone in the middle of the night? Fortunately, there was a crew member on patrol in the ship. When Liu Yonglu asked him if he had seen Xia Ni, the crew member pointed to the hatch.

Due to the white fog, there was no light at night in the Mermaid Sea. Although Liu Yonglu was holding an oil lamp, his visibility was still less than five meters. Fortunately, the wind and waves were not strong at this time, otherwise Liu Yonglu would feel a little weak. If a wave threw him into the sea, others would not know where to find him.

"Wow!"

As Liu Yonglu walked, he heard a noise coming from the starboard side of the expedition ship, and the bookmark in his hand silently turned into a black shield. As the dim light flickered, a huge and uncoordinated black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.

Liu Yonglu has been an investigator for so long that he has gradually developed the habit of being bold and careful. Even though his attention was attracted by the black shadow, he still did not forget to look at the road under his feet.

"Flutter, flutter."

Sea fish of various sizes were floating at his feet, mixed with a lot of shrimps and crabs. Liu Yonglu stepped over carefully and continued walking forward.

The reason why the black shadow is uncoordinated is that its lower body is no different from that of a normal human, but its upper body is particularly bloated and has a feeling of contracted breathing.

"Master, why did you come out?"

Liu Yonglu finally felt relieved when he heard the voice coming from the darkness.

"Why are you here drumming so late at night?"

Only when he got closer did Liu Yonglu see clearly that Mr. Shani's lower limbs still maintained a human appearance, but his upper body had revealed its original form.

The black, muddy, gelatinous body was gradually shrinking, and its right hand had split into countless tentacles of various sizes. Its head could no longer be seen, and its voice came out of its cavity, so it sounded a bit muffled.

"Didn't you say you wanted to eat mantis shrimp for dinner? I thought I'd get some for you tonight."

"Okay, with this kind heart, Master and his wife have not loved you in vain. Did you get it? If you did, hurry back to the house and don't freeze anymore."

While he was talking, Mr. Shani had already transformed back into a human. The fat man was cautious and only wore a pair of trousers, for fear that his coat would be torn when he transformed.

There was a mermaid mystery in the white mist on the sea. The master and his disciple did not sleep and squatted on the ground to divide the fish!
"Master, why didn't Xiaohu and Ling'er come back with you this time?"

"Well, the kids have grown up and have their own things to do, and the parents agree to let them gain some experience, but it doesn't matter, we came out this time to find them.

Let's treat Lin Bei's illness first, then repay your mistress's favor, and then we'll meet up with them. "

"Oh, okay, I'll listen to you, Master."

The master and the apprentice were chatting about family matters in the light of the lamp. Just as the fish were about to be divided, a ethereal singing voice suddenly floated over from the sea.

"Whispering in the wind, a bloody crown.

Gold turned to rusty chains.

We once danced lightly and sang and played all night.

Now I am sinking with the waves, drowning in time..."

"Hey, apprentice, it's time for us to show up. Didn't we talk about it at dinner? Why didn't we sing this unlucky song? Now it's here!"

With Fengsai's information, Liu Yonglu had a general idea in his mind. No matter what happens, the most frightening thing is to be completely in the dark and be caught off guard. That is the most frightening thing.

Now that he was prepared, Liu Yonglu no longer had so many concerns.

Mr. Shani kicked all the unwanted fish and shrimp into the sea, and put the food for tomorrow into the basket. Instead of going into the house, the master and his disciple walked towards the direction where the singing came from.

The two of them were originally standing on the starboard side, and the sound came from the port side. Liu Yonglu and Mr. Xia Ni deliberately did not stand together, leaving a certain distance between them, preparing to attack from both sides and achieve a surprise victory.

Liu Yonglu was quick-witted. He first blew out the oil lamp and then put on a cloak, entering a semi-spiritual state. The world was full of blue potholes, which was equivalent to turning on a night vision goggles.

The two tiptoed to the lifeboat and saw a figure doing something stealthy.

The singing still did not stop at this time. If you suddenly see some unusual movement in front of you, most people's first reaction would definitely be to strike first.

"Here you go!"

In the pitch-black night, Liu Yonglu roared loudly! He and Mr. Shani rushed over from the left and right.

Liu Yonglu's small body was of course useless, but Mr. Shani was big and strong, and he pinned the black shadow down with a bear hug.

The black shadow was frightened at first, but he quickly reacted and took out the sharp knife in his arms and stabbed it into Shani's chest. However, this level of attack obviously had no effect on Mr. Shani.

"The world is bright and clear, the sun and the moon are shining, how can we allow such a mean person to do this..."

Liu Yonglu grabbed the black shadow by the collar from behind, and only when he got closer could he see clearly. Hey, he misunderstood again. The person he was holding down was Lin Brown.

"Drenched in quilt, what's wrong with you guys so late at night? Why are you standing here making noises instead of sleeping?"

"The singing has appeared. I am going to go and take a look."

The three men climbed up from the deck, and Liu Yonglu could see clearly that Lin Bulang had a bag on his back and a weapon on his waist. He was dressed neatly and it was obvious that he wanted to go out and do something at night.

Although Lin Brown looks cold, he is actually a very worried person. During this expedition to the Lost Sea, he knew that Captain Ricky had other important things to do, but the other party helped him find the Cursed Island without saying anything. He kept this friendship in mind.

After finding Fonsai yesterday, Lin Brown learned a lot of information from him, and everyone also discussed at the dinner table how to explore this dangerous sea area.

One of the plans that is more feasible is to send a group of people to follow the singing and take a look, while another group of people will take over from behind. This is also a common work flow used by investigators.

Although Fonsai spoke in a confusing manner, the general meaning was clear. The people singing were an obvious trap. These people would lure the ignorant crew members into the trap and then suck the blood of the victims.

But this madman doesn't know the specific methods and the secrets of the island.

Lin Bulang was afraid that Liu Yonglu, Millie Tang and others would encounter danger while serving as bait, so he left a note in advance and prepared to take the risk alone, waiting for others on the boat to see the note and come to pick him up.

Unexpectedly, he had just gone out and had not yet lowered the lifeboat when he was hit by the master and disciple.

Since the arrangement had been "exposed", there was no need to hide it any longer, and Lin Brown told the truth.

"Hey! This is exactly what's wrong with you, Lin Bei. You treat us like outsiders! We've been through life and death together, what kind of friendship do we have? Do you really need to be so polite?

It would be fine if I didn't run into him today, but since my master and I are going to run into him, let's go together and have a good meeting with this masked singer!
I want to see if he has three heads and six arms, and he is just bragging to you. Just listen to his singing style and rhythm, and it is completely different from mine!"

Before Lin Brown set off, he felt lonely. He was not afraid of death, he was just afraid that he would implicate others. After hearing what his captain said, he could only shake his head helplessly, not knowing what to say. After a long while, he walked over and patted Liu Yonglu's shoulder heavily.

The three of them then lowered the lifeboat and decided to take advantage of the night, break through the fog, and explore the mermaid mystery!
