Chapter 2301 - 2294: Ghost Ship
After a few minutes, the ghost ship disappeared.
"The ghost ship is gone, that’s great, we don’t have to die." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huaxia people’s courage is quite small, it’s just an optical illusion caused by atmospheric refraction, the same principle as a mirage." A Dongyin person mocked.
Suddenly, a huge object appeared beside the passenger ship, precisely the ghost ship that had disappeared. This time, it was much closer, almost sticking to the right side of the passenger ship, and even the texture on the wood was clearly visible.
An ancient, weathered aura blew in, the dilapidated ship’s hull stained with dried blood, half of the hull concealed in darkness, eerie and terrifying.
"In our Empire of Great Dongyin, even elementary school students understand this principle, Huaxia people can’t even compare with our school’s kids."
The Dongyin person was still mocking when they suddenly noticed people were eerily staring behind them.
Instinctively turning their heads, several Dongyin people were so scared they fell to their knees, repeatedly drawing crosses on their chests.
Little devils are little devils, even their beliefs follow the American people worshiping God.
"Adjust the sailing direction, full left rudder!" The captain ordered again.
A strong centrifugal force came, the passenger ship made an emergency left turn, many people were unsteady and almost fell on the deck.
Finally, the passenger ship widened its distance from the ghost ship.
Watching the ghost ship gradually disappear into the darkness, everyone gently sighed in relief, still not daring to let their guard down, as the ghost ship might reappear at any time.
Indeed, it was only a matter of minutes before the ghost ship appeared again on the left side of the passenger ship.
Everyone felt a creepy sensation; they had just made a full left rudder, turning the passenger ship left, even if the ghost ship were quick, it shouldn’t be possible to appear on the left side of the passenger ship.
This indicates that it’s a real ghost ship; otherwise, it couldn’t be so elusive. Considering a broken sailboat can catch up with a modern passenger ship is a miracle, especially now when there’s no wind!
The Big-bearded Captain was also sweating profusely, afraid to issue orders easily.
"Not good, the navigation system has failed."
"We’ve lost direction."
Bad news kept coming.
"Don’t panic, I have a compass!" A girl took off a compass that looked like a necklace hanging around her neck.
However, something even stranger happened. The compass needle spun continuously, showing no sign of stopping.
"Everyone, don’t panic, return to your rooms and wait until daylight to discuss further." The captain finally ordered everyone to go back to their rooms, then commanded the passenger ship to stop.
Anyway, even speeding up couldn’t shake off the ghost ship, so better just stop; now the navigation system is down, and the ship has no idea where it’s going. If it heads to the reef area, everyone aboard would be buried in the sea.
"Buddha bless us!"
The crowd slowly returned inside the passenger ship, the huge ship gradually coming to a halt.
Yet, the dilapidated ghost ship clung tightly to the passenger ship like a worm on a bone, very close, seeming to invite an effortless leap from the passenger ship onto its deck.
"Brother Dong, let’s go back too." King Kong’s face was a bit pale.
Wang Dadong grumbled, "You call yourself a Dragon Group special forces soldier, yet you’re scared of a little ghost ship."
King Kong pouted, "Brother Dong, if you let me fight with real weapons, sure, no problem, but this is a ghost ship..."
"A ghost ship is still a ship, let’s go check it out." Wang Dadong also heard of ghost ships, about souls looking for replacements, but he didn’t believe it.
"Really want to go?" King Kong was still a bit scared.
While speaking, Wang Dadong already took a leap, jumping onto the opposite ship.
King Kong looked at the deck and saw no one, so he had to follow Wang Dadong and jump over.
Once he was over, King Kong immediately regretted it; the whole ship seemed shrouded in shadow, the dilapidated hull full of holes, half-torn sails casting long shadows in the moonlight, a chill sweeping through his body.
He looked back, only to see the passenger ship, which should have been right in front of him, was now far away, only the light at the bow barely visible.
"Damn, this is too eerie, Brother Dong, Brother Dong, where are you!" King Kong quickly searched for Wang Dadong on the oddly silent deck, but Wang Dadong was nowhere to be seen.
King Kong’s teeth started to chatter.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a hand was placed on King Kong’s shoulder, and he immediately jumped in fright.
Turning back, he saw Wang Dadong looking at him with disdain.
King Kong sighed in relief, "Damn, Brother Dong, where did you go, you scared me to death."
"Didn’t pay attention when jumping over, tripped." Wang Dadong said casually.
"How do we get back." King Kong worriedly looked at the distant passenger ship, seemingly about to disappear.
"No worries, let’s see what strange things are on this ghost ship first."
The two began searching, the whole ghost ship seemed lost in a silent world, except for King Kong’s heartbeat and their voices, there were no sounds.
After searching, both were surprised, not a single person was on board, only some personal items and canned food expired long ago were left.
No signs of struggle, it was as if everyone aboard had suddenly disappeared, leaving an unexplained eeriness.
Finally, they found a large black coffin in the lower deck hold.
"King Kong, open the coffin!"
"Better not..." King Kong felt goosebumps rising, this spooky place was incredibly eerie, if the coffin was opened, who knows what terrifying thing might emerge.
"With me here, what are you scared of, being scared like this is why you can’t get a girlfriend!" Wang Dadong started using the provoking method.
Sure enough, provoked by Wang Dadong, King Kong took a flashlight and slowly walked to the coffin.
Before opening it, King Kong looked mournfully at Wang Dadong, "Brother Dong, you have to protect me."
Then, he suddenly pushed the coffin lid aside.
As the coffin was opened, nothing with a ferocious face and fangs emerged, just a man lying inside, calm and peaceful.
But when King Kong saw the man in the coffin, he nearly jumped eight feet high, as if struck by lightning.
"What’s in the coffin?" Wang Dadong came over.
He saw a handsome-faced man lying in the coffin, unbelievably, it was Wang Dadong himself!
Looking at two identical Wang Dadongs, King Kong trembled all over.
"Damn it, what kind of ghost is this, impersonating me, let’s see me kill him!" Saying this, a white light sword appeared in Wang Dadong’s hand, aiming to stab the Wang Dadong in the coffin.
