Chapter 525 Ghost Ship


Chapter 525 Ghost Ship

"Well, I will notify you as soon as I find anything, but we won't stay here for long."

"Then please."< br>
The boss bowed deeply to the two of them.

“I had booked a ticket to the next stop before. I thought things in Kaicun would be very troublesome, but now it has been completed in advance. There are very few flights and we can’t sign them yet. We still need to stay here longer. One day.”

"Uh... ok."

To be honest, Chen Xi didn't want to stay here any longer, but things were already like this, so he could only nod in agreement.

“The scenery here is so beautiful, don’t you want to travel?”

“The weather at sea is unpredictable, so it’s better not to run around.”

“Oh ? I didn’t see you so scared when I went to sea on the Great Ocean Road last time.”

"I'm not afraid. I'm worried about safety." Chen Xi buried his head in his rice, trying to hide the expression on his face.

"Gee, your reaction is really strange. I want to see the Heart-shaped Reef and skydive."

"Okay."

See what Shen Xinyi thinks. Go, Chen Xi can only agree to come down.

For girls who come to Tu'ao to study abroad, Heart-shaped Reef has undoubtedly become their first romantic landmark.

Heart-shaped reef, with its unique and charming heart-shaped outline embedded in the blue sea, is not only a masterpiece of nature's uncanny craftsmanship, but also a symbol of love and dreams in the hearts of countless people.

“Please!” After finishing the meal, the boss bowed deeply to the two of them before leaving.

"Don't have too much hope. By the way, why did your niece disappear?" Chen Xi felt that this uncle was a bit pitiful, so he asked.

"She didn't come back after going to the beach alone..."

"I know..."

Chen Xi hesitated to speak.

In fact, there are many Sakura people in Kai Village who provide some special services here. He guessed that the girl might have been abducted by her fellow villagers and taken to the sea, but how could he say such a thing.

"This girl is so pitiful. She is so young..." Shen Xinyi said after leaving the store.

“A lot of people disappear abroad every year, so it’s better not to go to remote areas alone.” Chen Xi recalled the situation when he went to Uluru in his previous life, where the country was In the central part of Australia, there is the famous Ayers Rock, the world's largest boulder. There is a desert area all along the road, which is more desolate than the western part of the United States. There is no signal for mobile phones, and even the GPS cannot be used sometimes.

When you go there, you have to drive more than two cars. If something happens there, such as being captured by criminals or indigenous people, it will really disappear from the world.

The indigenous people mentioned here are not the ones seen on TV. They also use lighters to live, but they have retained the habit of hunting with bows and arrows. Some even speak English.

They are divided into several tribal groups, which gather once a year. They also have their own languages, social structures and religious customs.

According to legend, a certain superpower once used the desolate land in central Tu'ao as a target for nuclear testing, which resulted in the disappearance of many indigenous people. This made many local indigenous people hate white people. However, this is something I heard and cannot be taken seriously.

Kaicun is next to the sea, the weather is unpredictable, and the most important thing is that there are stowaways. If that girl is unlucky and bumps into something she shouldn't see, she will probably be silenced.

"Okay, don't think about it. We are just here on a business trip. It is the police's job to save people." Chen Xi took out his mobile phone and called a taxi.

"I originally thought you were a knight-errant type of man, but now it seems that you are not."

"Knight-Knight? That thing only appears in TV series. My style of doing things has always been to stay out of other people's business. "

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, if it were other boys, You probably pretend to be a righteous Ling Ran in front of others to win the favor of girls. Why are you doing the opposite? "

"That's what children do, and I'm not Batman." Xi smiled, opened the taxi door, and made a gesture of invitation.

Late at night, Chen Xi was lying on the big bed in the hotel and talking on the phone with Sha Zhi.

"Baby, I'm leaving, how is Jin Nana?"

"Why do you care about her so much when you come up, and don't ask me how I am doing? You can't really act like a fake, can you? "Shazhi's teasing voice came from the other end of the phone.

"How could it be? She is your best friend."

"I often read news reports that a man had an affair with his wife's best friend and then married his ex-wife's best friend after the divorce. "

"Hahaha, you are really good at joking."

"Don't worry, Nana is fine. She even took me shopping today. By the way, I forgot to ask who you went on a business trip with."

"With...and Shen Xinyi. However, Don't think too much, we sleep separately." Chen Xi didn't want to lie to her, so he told the truth.

"Well, don't let one more one come out. I can't bear one more one." Saori did not make trouble unreasonably, but just reminded him lightly.

The meaning of her words is very clear, don’t turn out to be Zhao Lingshan again.

Hey, I finally understand how difficult it was for the ancient emperors. There were too many women, and there were too many things to do. It was too difficult to get along with them.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xi sighed.

"Ding dong." Suddenly the doorbell rang. Chen Xi opened the door and saw Shen Xinyi standing at the door dressed neatly.

"I can't sleep, why don't I go down and have a drink?"

"Ah, are you still drinking?"

Chen Xi has never seen Shen Xinyi drink. I thought the other person didn’t like drinking.

"Okay."

He responded and walked out of the room.

It was the World Cup qualifiers now, and the bar was still very lively. The two found a seat and sat down.

Watching the football game on TV, Chen Xi was in a trance. Unknowingly, it had been three years since he was reborn.

"Xinxi, our Sakura Country must be in the top three this time!" shouted a Sakura Country drinker with a slicked back hair.

"Top three? Haha, I've never seen any Asian team make it into the top three." A ghost guy took a swig of beer and teased the Asian in front of him.

"Why not? Our country's team is number one in Asia! It will be number one in the world in the future!" This big-backed guy obviously drank too much and started talking nonsense.

Chen Xi laughed in his heart as he listened. Although the Sakura Country team played well, they are still far from being the best in the world. Any team in Europe can defeat them.

"Asians are not in good physical condition. Sports that consume extreme physical strength such as basketball and football have never had a place. Your Sakura team can only bully the Kimchi team and the Hua team in Asia. "Speaking of which, the Chinese team's performance is so poor every year? Don't they have a large population and it's so difficult to choose a few people to play football?" Another ghost guy interjected.

“I know this! In Chinese culture, lawns are accessories to flowers and trees, and Chinese people regard them as a whole. They have been taught since childhood not to destroy flowers, plants and trees casually, so when they grow up, they The concept of not trampling on the lawn has been formed, which makes it difficult for Chinese players to play football on the lawn!" A tattooed man explained loudly.

"Cough~" Chen Xi, who was drinking, was choked. He really admired this foreigner's imagination. He could actually come up with such a weird explanation.

“Gee, these ghost guys have quite rich imaginations.” Shen Xinyi also laughed out loud. In today's era, despite the surging tide of globalization, many foreign friends still have a relatively one-sided and lagging understanding of China.

It is like there is an invisible wall that separates China from the world. Their understanding of China usually comes from old books, news broadcasts and those yellowed old photos.

Take Chen Xi’s earliest Homestay landlord as an example. He was a marine researcher and visited other countries more often than other foreigners. When Chen Xi chatted with him, his impression of China was still that the streets were full of bicycles. One can imagine what other foreigners think.

When it comes to Chinese football, its unsatisfactory results are not entirely due to the physical fitness of the athletes. Looking back at the past, Chinese football has also been glorious, using strong power to defeat powerful enemies, such as the glorious record against Kimchi Country in the past, which is proof. Today's reversal actually reflects the complexity of the development of football, involving profound changes and challenges at multiple levels such as culture, system, and youth training system.

Therefore, for the outside world, to have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of today's Chinese football, it is not enough to just watch a few games.

"Foreigners look down on our football so much, why don't you go up and say a few words to show your patriotism." Shen Xinyi raised her glass and clinked it with him playfully.

"What they say is true. If I have to pretend to be fat, I will be looked down upon. Besides, this football problem is not something I can solve with just one word."
< br>Chen Xi raised his head and took a big sip of wine.

"It's really strange for you people. Many people from Sakura Country have disappeared recently. As their compatriots, you don't go looking for them. Instead, you are here drinking and watching the World Cup."

"It's none of my business, people. I didn't take it away, this matter should be handled by the police." Da Beitou felt that those ghost guys were deliberately teasing him, so his tone was a little tougher.

"I heard that a ghost ship appeared on the sea recently. Could it be that those people were captured by the ghost ship?" A drunkard said drunkenly.

"Hahaha, this is the 21st century, and you are still telling supernatural stories."

"That's right, this is not Bermuda, where did the ghost ship come from."


"I think you are just drunk and talking nonsense."

"He is not talking nonsense. I have seen ghost ships. Once I went to sea..."

"Okay. Okay. You two can go home and sleep."

The words of the drunkards seemed very funny, but they made Chen Xi feel a little strange.

There have been several foreign movies about ghost ships, with exciting plots surrounding the legendary "ghost ship".

These stories begin with the mysterious appearance of a ship forgotten by time on the sea level. It floats alone, attracting people on passing ships to embark on this ominous ship out of endless curiosity and desire to explore.

However, every time they approach, the crew members disappear mysteriously, as if they are swallowed up by an invisible force, gradually shrouding this sea area with a thick layer of fear and mystery.

As time goes by, horrific legends about this ship spread in the surrounding waters. People talk about it with dismay, treating it as an ominous symbol and avoiding it. However, behind these layers of fog, there is a more astonishing truth hidden. The ship is not inhabited by supernatural ghosts, but hidden in coveted huge wealth - gold.

It turns out that all these horrors and disappearances were all a conspiracy of greed and evil. All those who boarded the ship were killed by lawless elements, and there were no supernatural events at all.

However, a movie is a movie and reality is reality. This is Kaicun, a famous tourist resort. If there were any ghost ships nearby, they would have been dealt with by Tu'ao officials long ago, and they would still be floating on the sea.

"Ghost ship, it sounds scary. What do you think?" Shen Xinyi's eyes flashed with a drunken light. She bent her fingers and made a scary movement. This is very different from the usual gentleness and generosity, but unexpectedly adds a bit of rare playfulness and cuteness.

“Can you believe the words of drunkards? In addition to drinking, these people may also take some drugs. Some people are afraid of being discovered by the police, and will go to the beach or sea to find happiness secretly. Most of them show up. Hallucination."

"Then why do you think these people disappeared?"

"I don't know, it is probably related to some criminals. Disrespectful opinions, such as illegal erotic services, and some... Look, the missing girl is young and beautiful, and she is a foreigner. She is one of the targets of some organizations. "

"Giggle, say it. It's so scary. If I were to be arrested by those organizations, would you ignore me?" Shen Xinyi played with the wine glass, her cheeks were red and she looked very attractive.

"No." Chen Xi said seriously.

"Those illegal organizations are very dangerous. They should all have knives and guns. Aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid."

"Afraid that you will still Want to save me?”

“Yeah.”

Chen Xi nodded, the two of them looked at each other alternately, and neither of them stayed on this topic. Both parties understand each other's feelings.

"Hahaha, we won. Let me just say that our Sakura team is the best in Asia. Your Tu and Australia teams are all white, but they are not as good as us. Any physical fitness is nonsense. Cooperation makes up for everything. ! "The Sakura National Team won the game, which made Big Back Head happy. He stood up and mocked the ghost guys just now.

Although Tu'ao belongs to Oceania, the football competition is divided into the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). Although Turkish and Australian football is a strong team in Oceania, because the overall football level in Oceania is relatively low, it cannot represent anything at all.

The Sakura national team and the Tu'ao team are evenly matched, with Tu'ao being slightly higher in the international rankings.

"What are you dragging about, you Sakura countryman? Be careful and disappear one day. I heard that the missing people are all Asians. It seems that they are all you Sakura people..." The ghost guy who drank too much didn't do it either. He replied politely.

"Let's go, we've almost finished drinking. I think if we stay any longer, these two groups will fight sooner or later." Chen Xi secretly pointed at the two groups arguing.

"Yes." Shen Xinyi nodded after hearing this and stood up unsteadily.

At night in Kaicun, there was a slight coolness in the air. As soon as Shen Xinyi left the bar, an inadvertent shiver quietly passed over her shoulders. Seeing this, Chen Xi took off his coat and put it on her shoulders.

The two walked side by side, walking slowly towards the hotel in the long night. The moonlight and street lamps interweave soft light and shadow, creating a warm and romantic outline for the pair of figures.

Not long after they left, there was a crackling sound in the bar, and the obviously drunk Big Beitou began to perform karate.

The next day.

One of the popular tourist projects in Kaicun is skydiving. There are two types of projects, one is 7,500 feet and the other is 15,000 feet.

The price is about a few hundred yuan, but for shooting, you need to add another few hundred yuan, so the total price is about a thousand dollars.

The entire skydiving process will be accompanied by a professional instructor who will help you coordinate your movements in the air, mainly allowing you to experience free fall and paragliding. In fact, for most people, this project is purely for taking pictures and pretending to be sexy.

Chen Xi felt that flying a glider was not as practical as flying a glider. He used to fly a plane for only $2,000 once, which was much more cost-effective than this.

That bullshit ghost ship, I didn’t even see it when I was so high in the sky just now.

Chen Xi, who came down from the sky, complained in his heart.

He just looked around on the paraglider and didn't even find a larger boat.

There were only a few speedboats on the sea, and the ghost ship he imagined was at least a cargo ship.

"I'll keep the photos, otherwise your girlfriend will be jealous if she sees them." Shen Xinyi came over with some photos.

"It's nothing. I told her. We are on a business trip together."

"Oh? Then I will give you one?"

"Forget it."
< br>"Giggle."

Seeing Chen Xi's embarrassment, she couldn't help laughing.
