Chapter 168 Ghost Ship

"Don't panic, talk slowly." Wu Chang said calmly.

He was not surprised at all. As an A-level copy on the verge of losing control, it was almost certain that a shipwreck or accident would occur. It would be surprising if they could reach the destination smoothly.

But in the eyes of the secretary, the four great kings, and the sword star and the negotiation master who followed behind, they saw a strong calmness and confidence.

What does it mean to remain calm even when the sky is falling?

He is indeed the actual controller of Xingtian Group, the emperor of the underground world of Gaomu Country, and a hidden character with a small chance of refreshing in the copy.

What a strong thigh.

The secretary said, "The captain said that at four in the morning, there was a heavy fog on the sea, and the satellite positioning and electronic systems on the ship failed inexplicably, so the captain had to switch to manual mode."

"According to the original route, we will pass by Danshan Island for supplies at around six this morning. But when we arrived at the time, not only did we not see the signal lighthouse of Danshan Island, but we also did not see the outline of the island in the fog."

"The captain can only be sure that the Star Leap has deviated, but we need to wait until the fog dissipates and the electronic equipment on the ship is repaired before we can determine where it has deviated."

Wu Chang came to the deck on the seventh floor and looked down. He saw that the passengers on the lower floor were in chaos. Many people gathered on the lower deck. The crew was trying their best to maintain order and let people return to their rooms.

Ordinary passengers were panicked when they encountered the accident, and the upper class people on the sixth and seventh floors were not much better.

You can hear the scolding from all around without opening the door. The difference from the passengers on the lower floor is that the passengers cursed the damn weather, while the VIPs cursed the captain and the crew.

They cursed with full energy, but everyone knew that they were facing nature and were in the vast sea. Their power and wealth in human society would not play any role.

Everyone is equal in the face of death.

When everyone was panicking, it was the best time to collect intelligence.

Wu Chang did not stay in the room, but took everyone to the lower deck of the passenger ship.

All the way to the third floor, he really saw Park Changmin with a group of priests, taking the opportunity to preach to the panicked tourists.

Most of the tickets on the third and fourth floors of the Star Leap were group tickets, and the third floor was jointly booked by three private high schools.

All the people on the ship were senior high school students, who were on a study trip. They had just entered the third year of high school and faced the cruel college entrance examination sprint. This trip would be their last relaxing time.

Unexpectedly, they suffered a disaster as soon as they went out to sea.

After hearing the secretary's information, Wu Chang frowned and hurriedly asked about the students' grades. He was relieved to learn that Gaomu National Elementary School was enrolled at the age of 8 and all the senior high school students were already adults.

It seems that large-scale vicious incidents against minors are taboo topics that Abyss Game dare not touch, and the administrators of Abyss Game also have a desire to survive.

It is worth mentioning that one of the three high schools on the ship is a church school. They already have faith. Although the sects are different, the New Universe Sect used marketing when it was first established, claiming that they and many mainstream sects believe in the same Supreme God.

The suspension bridge effect, coupled with Park Changmin's instigation, has caused many teachers and students to join the New Universe Sect's prayer ranks.

Not only teachers and students, but many passengers who were not very religious at first urgently needed spiritual sustenance to help them survive the fear and also joined in the prayer.

Wu Chang could clearly see that once these people joined the prayer, they had the thought of "If the Lord really exists", and the mystical energy network covering the Star Leap would separate threads and sink into their bodies.

Where the threads sank, cracks that could not be seen by the naked eye appeared on the skin, and in the gaps of the cracks, an eye could be vaguely seen gradually taking shape.

Disasters and death are the best catalysts for the spread of religion.

When the New Universe Sect gradually took control of the situation, the cheers of the crew suddenly came from the deck outside.

"Look over there! It's land!"

Hearing the shouts of the crew, people rushed to the deck again and looked in the direction of the crew's finger.

At two o'clock on the ship, a dark shadow could be vaguely seen. People looked at the shadow with hope, hoping that it was Danshan Island where the route was originally going to stop.

Unfortunately, people's wishes soon fell through. The ship turned the bow and sailed in front of the shadow. People found that it was just a black reef.

There was nothing else on it except stones, and there was no sign of human activity at all.

The change from hope to disappointment hit people hard. People returned to the hall with heavy steps and continued to pray.

They prayed to the Lord to let them see land again.

Facts have proved that people should not think that life has fallen to the bottom and become disappointed with the current situation just because of a setback.

We must believe that fate will not be so fragile. How can it fall to the bottom because of a setback? This is just the beginning.

At least three or four setbacks must be experienced, and when you feel hopeless about life, you will think that life has reached the bottom.

As people prayed, a black shadow appeared in front of the ship again, and people became excited again, cheering and celebrating the greatness of the Lord.

But soon they could not laugh anymore. The closer they got to the black shadow, the more familiar it looked.

When the ship approached the front, people were sure that this was the reef they had just passed by!

When passing the reef before, a passenger angrily threw the beer in his hand over, and the white can was still lying on the reef.

What happened?

People began to look at the crew angrily, thinking that they were circling around the reef.

But the captain soon appeared to explain to everyone that the ship had been sailing straight without any deviation, and invited several school teachers and several upper-class guests to the captain's room to prove it.

Not long after, a black shadow appeared in front of the ship again. When they got closer, they found that it was still the reef.

Now people were completely panicked. Not only did they deviate from the route at sea, but they were also trapped in a maze.

For a while, all the unsolved mysteries in the world, such as the Millennium Quadrilateral, the sudden appearance of a cruise ship that disappeared for a hundred years, and the Flying Dutchman, all flooded into people's minds.

Some passengers with poor psychological quality could no longer bear the pressure and began to shout.

Just like at the banquet last night, Wu Chang would record those targets who did not actively approach him. In this occasion, he naturally had to focus on those targets who were not panicked.

The first person to be marked was naturally Park Changmin. The mystical ritual on the ship was arranged by the New Universe Sect. As the highest-ranking person in the New Universe Sect, he was obviously involved in the plan.

The second person who was not panicked during the deviation and remained calm even when he entered a trap was Captain Jiang Junxi.

Most of the sailors on the ship were in a panic, but Jiang Junxi, the first mate Li Yuanzhi and four or five other crew members were very calm.

Especially when they passed the reef for the second time, they invited passengers to witness and proved their innocence, as if they had rehearsed several times, not like a temporary plan.

After the captain and others, there were several people that Wu Chang had recorded in a small notebook last night.

Among the six people recorded last night, five of them were pretending to be panicked, and their acting was very stiff. They thought they would not be noticed by the crowd, but they didn't know that someone had been watching them yesterday.

Wu Chang seemed to casually order Jianxing and the negotiation master to test a few people. Jianxing, who was eager to show off, did not hide his ability to sense other people's inner fluctuations. He walked around a few people and confirmed that they were indeed panicked on their faces, but their hearts were as steady as old dogs.

Park Changmin of the New Universe Sect, Captain Jiang Junxi, and the sneaky five last night, these are already three groups of suspicious targets.

The small Star Leap is really full of hidden talents.

Wu Chang finally looked at Li Yubin who appeared last night. Surprisingly, the woman with the highest status except for his original body was unprepared for the scene in front of her.

She thought there was something wrong with the reef. While taking pictures of the reef, she was eager to take a lifeboat to the reef for a closer inspection.

Thanks to the dissuasion of the two players around her, she was dragged away from the lifeboat.

Wu Chang asked Jianxing to go over and confirm it. The conclusion was that he was panicked and couldn't believe it.

Wu Chang touched his chin. He thought Li Yubin was just setting up a persona before. Even if she was not the mastermind of the things on the ship, she was one of the masterminds behind the scenes.

Now it seems that she was implicated by chance. Could there really be such a pure child from a chaebol family?

Leaving Jianxing and the negotiation master to investigate the situation, he turned back to his room and continued to complete the second job transfer task.

This time, he was ready to change his strategy and no longer quickly advance the progress of the dungeon strategy.

As a qualified Lao Liu, the enemy is in the open, I am in the dark, the most ideal state.

As long as he keeps wearing the vest of Li Zaishe, most players will not only not be wary of him, but will be like Jianxing, with the purpose of obtaining clues, and will take the initiative to run to him as a cow and horse.

He will circle out suspicious people through performances that do not conform to the logic of his identity, and others will naturally do the same.

In order to hide, he must act like a native.

While Wu Chang was accepting the contamination of mysticism to change his body, he was also thinking about his next move.

As a native, he cannot behave in the same way as the player's goals, at least not like the player, whose goals and actions are very clear.

No, you should think differently. The identity of a native may not be a constraint on his actions. After all, the role he plays is Li Zaishe, the underground emperor of Gaomu.

If you want to avoid being suspected by the players, you don’t have to be roundabout, you can also be more radical than the players.

When the players all thought he was too radical, as radical as a native, they naturally would not doubt him.

Immersed in the transformation of mysticism, feeling the visible strengthening of the body, time passed very quickly.

In a blink of an eye, the sky outside darkened.

Of the facial features of Wu Chang's head, only the tongue had not been strengthened. The rest of the eyes, ears, nose and mouth had been polluted by mysticism and turned into a state between energy and flesh and blood.

He was about to complete the transformation of the tongue in one go and make the head completely transformed. Suddenly, a faint murmur sounded in the ears transformed by mysticism, interrupting his movements.

He listened carefully and found that the call in his ear was calling his name.

The voice was particularly kind, making him want to respond.

He stood up and walked in the direction of the voice, and walked from the bedroom to the deck on the seventh floor.

Looking in the direction of the call, there was the depths of the sea.

A strong urge surged in his heart, jumped off the boat, turned into a giant whale, and swam over!

As soon as this impulse came into being, he was interrupted by his cold snort.

That's enough, why are you still pushing me forward? You asked me to swim over, why don't you come over yourself?

Wu Chang restrained his inspiration and actively closed his ears to sense the ability of mysticism. The calling voice in his mind disappeared immediately.

The calling voice disappeared, but his expression was still solemn.

This call was not the first time he had heard it. He had felt a similar call in the sea before when he had just received the transformation of the Deep Sea Clan and was transforming into a giant whale in the Quiet Town.

That call came from the bottom of the sea, tempting him to go to the depths of the ocean.

At that time, his inspiration and will were still low, and he almost fell into the trap of the other party. Unexpectedly, he heard a similar call again in the Silent Route copy.

Why did this happen? The two copies of Quiet Town and Silent Route are not in the same plane.

Could it be that all the planes related to the sea are related to the call in the deep sea?

Impossible.

Wu Chang shook his head and denied it. He had great confidence in the solidity of the plane barrier. Even an existence like Irene who became a god in the wilderness would be suppressed by the rules of the plane. How could the wilderness accommodate a powerful existence that spanned multiple planes?

Before he could figure out what the call from the bottom of the sea was, his eyes transformed by mysticism saw that the ship seemed to have broken through a thin film.

They came to another sea area from the sea area with ghost walls.

The sign of entering the new sea area is that the reef that was like a ghost wall disappeared. At the same time, the thick fog covering the sea surface faded, leaving only a hazy layer of water vapor.

The vision became wider, which meant that it was easier to distinguish the direction and find the correct route.

Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction.

But Wu Chang didn't think so.

Since the Star Leap entered the new sea area, the mystical energy on the ship became stronger. In addition to the core node of the ceremony on the fourth deck, a secondary core node appeared in the captain's room.

The plan of the New Universe Sect seemed to have reached the next stage. They couldn't hold back and began to take action.

Wu Chang stood on the seventh deck, gathered energy in his eyes, and looked into the distance.

Under the effect of energy, his sight penetrated the remaining mist on the sea surface and continued to extend into the distance.

In fact, strictly speaking, the mysticism mastered by humans is not mysticism itself, but the rules of mysticism.

People use the rules of mysticism to pry a certain energy that originally belonged to the world and turn the energy into the shape they want.

The mystical pollution is actually the mystical energy itself and the source of mystical energy.

It's just that this energy is too powerful, so powerful that ordinary human bodies can't bear it at all.

The final form of the arcane knight, which is also the goal of the initial design, is to use the body and the source of mysticism to merge, to achieve the realm of transcending the rules of mysticism and directly controlling mysticism at will.

Now Wu Chang's eyes can do similar things.

When he uses energy to activate his eyes, his mystical eyes can directly see through the maze created by mystical energy, and can also achieve the effect that wizards can achieve using eagle eyes without understanding the rules of mysticism.

As the Star Leap moved forward, the shadow of another ship soon appeared at the end of his sight. Judging from the scale and appearance, it was also a passenger ship, no less than the Star Leap.

Are there other ships in this sea area?

He looked at the ship carefully, trying to see what was on the ship, whether it was a large number of people from the New Universe Sect who had been waiting here for a long time, or the unlucky people who were kidnapped like the Star Leap.

When the two ships got closer, he saw red dots on the hull of the ship in the distance.

Dense red dots.

Each red dot was a grudge.

Thousands of meters away, he couldn't read the information in the grudge directly, so he could only quickly go down to the third deck, wait for the two ships to get closer, and then observe carefully.

All the way to the third floor hall, he saw that the number of people praying in the New Universe Sect had more than doubled.

Almost everyone in the entire hall joined their prayers.

After a whole day of hard work, each new member had at least half of their eyes open.

It won't be long before these new believers will become mature seeds like the excellent believers who participated in the team building.

The harsh alarm sounded, interrupting everyone's prayers.

The crew of the Star Leap saw another passenger ship coming towards them.

The Star Leap sounded an alarm warning while operating the signal light to signal the other party to stop in the distance.

But the other party did not react at all and continued to sail towards them.

When the two ships were less than a kilometer apart, the ship slowly stopped and stood still on the sea.

A crew member shouted at the ship with a horn, but the other party did not respond at all, just stopped strangely.

The Star Leap slowly approached the other party, and the passengers gathered on the deck gradually saw the name of the ship.

Song of the Sea.

Such a familiar name.

People thought about the meaning of this name, and soon someone remembered that two years ago, a cruise ship departed from Basin Island and went to Midi Country. It passed through Gaomu Country and disappeared in the sea shortly after leaving. It has not been found yet.

The name of the disappeared cruise ship was the Song of the Sea.

A ghost ship that disappeared for two years appeared in front of everyone intact at this moment.

The moment this news came out, the whole ship fell into fear.
