Chapter 1 The Demonic Sea and People Falling from the Sky (1)
Thick fog like gunpowder smoke filled the entire sea area, and the sky was also gray.
Although it wasn't as dark as night, the visibility was extremely low. The floating gray mist does not dissipate slowly like ordinary smoke or mist, but hangs in the air like streamers. The original color of the sky was completely obscured by these mysterious fogs, becoming as thick as lead clouds.
This is the famous Demonic Triangle of the Grand Line, where hundreds of ships disappear every year. It is rumored that the missing ship either sank to the bottom of the sea or turned into a ghost ship floating in the boundless demonic sea looking for a substitute.
The breeze gradually picked up, the gray haze was blown everywhere, and the outline of an old pirate ship gradually appeared.
The black sail was in dilapidated condition, and the wooden fenders on the side of the ship were also severely damaged. Some crooked wooden boards were nailed to the damaged hull indiscriminately.
There was no light on the entire ship, and it was as lifeless as a comatose patient. Some empty oak barrels were dumped carelessly on the deck, and even the most precious pirate flag became dilapidated and fluttered randomly in the sea breeze.
"Bringing Binx's wine to you"
A low, slightly nasal song slowly sounded, echoing throughout the old hull, and was eventually lost in the howling sea breeze.
The fluttering pirate flag gradually increased its swaying intensity, the breeze turned into a strong wind, and the waves were blown more turbulently. Thunder and lightning flashed across the lead-thick sky, and the lead clouds that filled the sky were like boiling soup pots, and there seemed to be a giant snake twisting its body in the clouds.
"Hey, hehe, it's not good, it's thundering, a storm is coming."
"Hey, hey, hehe, someone come quickly and take the helm and put the canvas away as well."
The low singing voice stopped suddenly and turned into a panicked and calm commanding voice, with a light and joyful flavor in the voice.
"Hey, hehe, everyone, don't sleep anymore. The storm is coming soon. Get up quickly, otherwise we will be in big trouble."
With a "bang", the cabin door was pushed open forcefully, and a tall and lanky man in a straight tuxedo appeared at the door. He wore black leather shoes, a U-shaped cane, and a round top hat tilted on his curly and fluffy afro. , giving people the feeling of being extremely gentleman.
"Everyone"
The happy shouts of ho ho ho came to an abrupt end.
The dark cabin was empty, and there was no sound of response. The figure with an afro was frozen at the door, staring blankly at the empty cabin, and the voice of his words became smaller and smaller, until they were inaudible.
"Obviously I am the only one left, everyone is dead."
When he dreams back at midnight, his friends are always by his side in the dream. Even if he pretended time and time again that his friends were still around, he would only be disappointed again and again after waking up from his dream.
"squeaky"
The long-disrepaired hull made a creaking sound as it was beaten by the rough waves, and the entire ship swayed with the ups and downs of the big waves.
The Afro standing at the cabin door tightly grasped the wooden door frame beside him, looking at the strange sky in shock. Perhaps it was not accurate to express shock. Under the light of thunder and lightning, what appeared under the explosive head was a skull. A skull that should not have any expression.
The originally calm sky had undergone earth-shaking changes at this moment. The thick gray lead clouds were stirred more and more fiercely, gradually forming a huge whirlpool-like eye of the storm, with streaks of thunder and lightning winding in it, and the lightning became more and more intense. It was bright, and the thunder and lightning gathered more and more. Finally, a huge lightning connecting the sky and the earth fell from the sky and hit the bow of the ship.
In the dim bedroom, there was a mottled candlestick placed on the table against the wall. A white candle was burning on the candlestick, emitting a faint light that dispelled part of the darkness. Under the weak candlelight, it can be seen that none of the glass on the windows is intact, only the dusty glass shards are still stubbornly rooted in the window frames, and the shabby curtains have long lost their original color. The bed was placed on the wall farthest from the window to avoid the water droplets that came in from time to time. There was an antique chair placed next to it, but other than that, there was no other piece of furniture in the room. This is all what the group saw when they woke up. A weak sea breeze blew in, the candlelight swayed, and the strong breath of the sea rushed into his nostrils, letting him know that he seemed to be on the sea now.
With a slight creaking sound, the door was gently pushed open from the outside. A human figure appeared at the door in the darkness, but most of the figure was hidden outside the hatch.
The candlelight was dim, and the breeze that broke in through the crack of the door made it sway unsteadily. Unable to see the specific appearance of the person coming, the group tried their best to sit up from the bed and leaned on the wooden board at the head of the bed. The towel that was originally on his forehead also slipped down with his movements. He grabbed the towel with his right hand, supported the pillow with his left hand, sat up straight, and turned to look at the person who appeared at the door.
"Thank you for saving me. I am grateful. My name is Yi Xing."
The person at the door seemed to be extremely afraid of strangers. He shrank back slightly when he heard the group's greetings. Seeing this, the group couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"I'm thanking you for saving me. You don't have to be afraid. I'm not a bad person." He said sincerely to the door.
"I know you're not a bad person. I'm just afraid that my appearance will scare you."
The other party answered, but still had no intention of showing up.
"I'm not afraid of other people's ugliness, nor will I dislike your ugly appearance. It doesn't matter even if you are disfigured. Appearance is not everything about a person. The most important thing for a person is to have a kind heart. Really, I If you are not afraid, please show up, benefactor." The group thanked the people hiding outside the door again sincerely.
"real"
"Really, it's more real than real gold and silver."
"You can guarantee it"
"I swear to the Buddha that I believe in Buddhism. People who believe in Buddhism will not lie."
With one palm raised in front of his chest, the group saluted to the figure outside the door.
"You are a monk, no wonder you are bald."
The two got to know each other a little better, but the other party still had no intention of showing up immediately. He hid in the shadow outside the hatch and fell into a long silence.
"Okay, but I hope my appearance doesn't scare you. I've been drifting here for too long, and I haven't seen a living person for a long, long time."
After the silence, the black shadow finally made the final decision, almost squeezing in through the crack of the open door, and slowly dragged his body towards the bed. Perhaps they were only paying attention to the figure of the visitor, and the group did not notice the grammatical errors in the other party's words just now. Welfare "hongcha866" WeChat ID, see more
