Codex Pirates

Chapter 335 Pink Skull

The sea area of ​​the Magic Triangle is full of thick fog and dark all year round. Even though it is already daytime, the people on the Starlight still feel that they are in the dark at this time and cannot distinguish things. The only thing that can help them identify the direction is the record pointer and the permanent pointer in the hands of the navigator.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but since a signal flare was detonated, the sailors on the ship felt that the temperature dropped sharply and felt chilly.

Portia walked towards her room with a heavy heart, clutching the cross pendant around her neck tightly in her hands, while the girl Kaslana in navy uniform comforted her in a low voice behind her.

Since entering the Magic Triangle waters, there have been more and more weird things. In addition to the sudden drop in temperature, some crew members suddenly went crazy and shouted at night, claiming that they saw ghosts. The "crazy talk" of this crew member continued to affect the morale of other people, and he was imprisoned. At first, the crew member was fine, but he was a little nervous and scared, but after a while, he seemed to be extremely nervous. Hating his own existence, he even started to self-mutilate, banging his head against the wall while crying and muttering that he should not have come to this world, even though his head was bleeding, he still kept moving, as if he wanted to remove his own existence from this world. Like erasing the world.

This strange situation, like being possessed by a ghost, made the scalps of the ship's owner Portia, Captain Joey Ferro and others present numb. They couldn't understand why a strong man who was in good health and usually in good spirits It will suddenly become like this. Is it true that the legend about the haunted waters of the Magic Triangle is true?

Kaslana, a female naval officer, did not believe such nonsense at all. She knew that this ship had placed all of Portia's hopes and most of her wealth, so she was inevitably suspicious and worried about gains and losses. She had been reassuring Portia.

Kaslana once again comforted Portia, saying that the self-harming crew member was nervous and mistaken what he saw in the mist for a ghost. Portia stopped suddenly while walking and listening.

Kaslana followed Portia's gaze, and saw that the two were in front of the aisle, under the cover of thick fog, a black shadow was curled up there, and a faint red light loomed.

Both Portia and Kaslana were taken aback, but Kaslana was the most courageous and the first to react, striding over and getting closer, only to realize that it was William, Arkin, and Selko The three of Ke squatted behind the guard to avoid the sea breeze, and were lazy. The red light was the flame from William's pipe.

The crew are basically working on the deck now, and Kaslana didn't have a good look at these three scary bastards hiding in the aisle: "Are you lazy again?"

"Everyone dare not rest in the cabin, for fear of encountering a 'ghost', they all ran to the deck to work, there is no place for us to help, come here to get some air, smoke for a while, isn't it a crime?" William raised his eyebrows. Lifting his pipe, he said lazily.

"I wonder where you got so much tobacco. Did you only think of bringing this kind of thing when the ship was shipwrecked?" Kaslana sneered.

William Qi was so strange that he was obviously a victim, and he looked naked when he was rescued, but he could always take out shredded tobacco from his pocket, and then get together with Akin and Selkirk and hide in various places. In the corner, he smoked from his pipe.

Kaslana is a naval sergeant, which is an unembarrassing position. On the one hand, she has not yet reached the level where most of the military discipline regulations are ignored. Different from soldiers, as a navy with a certain status at a young age, she is a little conceited, so she doesn't like William and others who are slovenly and lazy, especially when people are panicking. Not used to their behavior.

"What do you know, this thing is hard currency on board, and it is more effective than Bailey in many cases." William said disapprovingly.

Kaslana said: "Then I hope that when you inhale your thing that is worth more than Bailey into your lungs, be careful, and don't mistake your companion for a ghost when you are puffing, and then scare you." Gotta yell."

Ah Jin's face darkened, and William laughed loudly, "I'm not afraid of ghosts, ghosts should be afraid of me!"

Kaslana let out an obvious sneer. William's behavior on the boat during this period was amiable at best, but submissive at worst. She thought William was pretending to brag, but Portia pulled her clothes behind her, Hearing the two talking about the strange incident that happened on the ship before, the only lady in the field who was only an ordinary person, Qianjin, seemed very disturbed.

A Jin glanced at the slightly pale Portia, and said with a chuckle, "It's funny, you are not afraid of going to the Chambord Islands, but you are afraid of ghosts?"

Kaslana and Portia didn't understand what Akin said, so the former wanted to say something, William's expression suddenly changed, and he made a gesture of silence, and Akin and Selkirk also looked serious.

Until then, Kaslana and Portia heard an ethereal singing voice coming into their ears.

In the next second, the hoarse shout of the sailor in the mast of the ship interrupted the singing: "I found the ship!"

William stood up from behind the guard and looked at the sea in front of the merchant ship. In the thick fog, he could vaguely see the outline of a large ship appearing in his field of vision. He did not know when this ship came close to the Starlight, until It has only now been discovered, and the singing seems to be coming from the direction of the ship.

Standing in the aisle, several people could hear Joey Ferro's roar from the bow deck. He was loudly ordering the sailors to control the merchant ship and avoid this large ship with unknown intentions.

The merchant ship finally completed its turn within a very short distance from the strange big ship. The people who had already raised their guard and were ready to fire at any time were relieved after seeing the appearance of the big ship at close range.

It turned out to be a pirate ship that was seriously damaged on the outside, most of the sails were destroyed, and it looked like it had been abandoned for many years.

But soon, the hearts of the people on the boat were raised again, because the ethereal singing hadn't stopped, and as the distance got closer, everyone was more sure that the singing was coming from the boat.

After completing the turn, the Starlight still slid a certain distance towards the abandoned ship under the effect of inertia. Up to now, the two ships are almost sailing next to each other, and the specific appearance on the deck can be seen clearly from each other.

The singing stopped abruptly at this moment.

Portia suddenly exclaimed, covering her small mouth with one hand, and tightly grasping Kaslana's wrist with the other hand, Kaslana could clearly feel her body trembling slightly.

Behind the fender of the abandoned ship, facing the direction of the Starlight, stands a human skeleton. The mouth of this skeleton is wide open. I don’t know if it is an illusion. Against the backdrop of misty mist, the empty eyes seem to be looking at the other side. living people on board.

"It's okay, it's just a dead man's bone." Kaslana comforted Portia softly.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the skeleton suddenly opened his mouth to speak, his voice was loud and clear in the silent atmosphere: "That..."

On the bow deck, Joey Ferro's sharp voice suddenly sounded out of fear: "Fire!"
