Late at night, Ryan, the chosen one from the Nordic Snow Country, felt as if he was being pulled by an invisible force, and his body was sinking involuntarily. Surrounded by the cold and biting sea water, it gradually overwhelmed all his senses.
What frightened him even more was that when he reluctantly opened his eyes, he found that he was actually in the deep sea.
He struggled hard, trying to find a trace of oxygen, but his lungs seemed to be pressed by huge rocks. Every breath became extremely difficult, as if even the air had solidified and refused to enter his chest.
At this moment, misfortunes never come singly. He found that his hands and feet were tightly entangled with a soft and tough thing, which was a strange seaweed deep under the sea.
They are like living creatures, swaying in the undercurrent, but with a thrilling rhythm.
Ryan tried to break free, but the seaweed got tighter and tighter, as if to trap him in this dead sea forever.
What frightened Ryan the most was that he saw white bones scattered around the seaweed.
The eye sockets of those skeletons are empty, but they seem to be silently telling the horror and despair of the past.
Ryan realized that these seaweeds have claimed countless lives, and he may also become the next victim.
Faced with all this, even the experienced Chosen Ones are at a loss, let alone a rookie like Ryan who is entering for the first time.
Hell can't start like this. Didn't you agree to let me play the role of a salvage worker? Why is my special code at the bottom of the sea?
Should I fish for others, or should others fish for me?
In the past, Ruian would perform water prison escapes, but the water prison was a prop. This was an endless deep sea, and he had no choice at all.
As he exhaled his last breath, Ryan began to suffocate.
Fear came like a tide, and he wanted to call for help, but his consciousness continued to blur.
Are you going to die at the beginning? If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have come this time!
It is not a pity to die, but the Nordic Snow Country is about to perish!
Just when Ryan was desperate, a powerful force suddenly pulled him out of his dream. He suddenly fell under the bed, his body shaking violently with fright.
Ryan opened his eyes and looked around. He observed the faint light coming from the window and determined that he was in a dark and unfamiliar cabin.
At this moment, Ruian was sweating profusely and soaked to the skin, as if he had really escaped from the deep sea.
Big beads of sweat continued to drip from the tips of his hair, making a crisp sound as they dripped onto the cold floor.
He gasped for breath, trying to calm his racing heart, but that weird dream was like an indelible shadow, deeply imprinted on his heart.
I almost thought I was dead, but it turned out to be a dream?
But this dream was so real that Ruian felt like he was actually there.
As a rookie Chosen One, he began to think randomly in his mind. Could this dream foretell his own ending?
Just as Ryan was thinking, the rocking of the ship's hull made him feel something violently tumbling in his stomach, going straight to his throat.
The surroundings were filled with a strong fishy smell, as if rotting fish were breathing at the tip of his nose. The smell was so suffocating that he felt a little suffocated.
Lifting up the hand that had just touched the floor, he was about to cover his nose with his hand, when he saw a thick liquid adhering to it, and a feeling of nausea suddenly came to his heart.
Just when he was about to find something to wipe his hands with, his heart suddenly started beating wildly and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
There are still very scary creatures approaching. This is an instinctive fear in the body.
Before he could make a careful judgment, a violent impact caused the ship's hull to shake intensified. Ryan was knocked backwards by the impact and hit the wall hard before stopping.
At this moment, his head was bleeding and his stomach was churning even more.
As a magician, Ryan is also in good physical condition.
Many of the chosen ones with poor physical fitness vomited on the spot, covering themselves all over. After a long time, the aftermath of the impact dissipated, and Ruian slowly got up.
If it weren't for the pain in his body and the pungent smell of blood on his head, Ryan might still feel like he was in a dream.
Since he is not dead, it means that this is just the beginning of the world of ghost stories.
This is the way of thinking that several experienced Chosen Ones told him during a day of training at the Papal Palace.
Recalling what Greco and others said, Ryan began to organize his thoughts.
My teammate is the famous Pope. Perhaps finding the Pope can solve the current crisis.
In the world of team formation, if you are not very capable, it is a good choice to rely on the natives and teammates appropriately.
This is the experience summarized by everyone in the recent ghost stories.
Ryan felt that the Pope must be many times stronger than him in terms of his experience and personal combat ability. He was right to listen to the Pope's words.
After all, the Pope is one of the most sought-after teammates besides Zhang Yangqing among the chosen ones participating in the Ghost Story World this time.
But the problem came. Ryan looked around and found no trace of the Pope.
It seems that at the beginning of this strange world, we must first find a way to find teammates, or get in touch with teammates.
This outrageous start also made the fledgling Ruian a little flustered.
But he knew that staying here would be of no use and he had to take action.
As he slowly stood up and looked out the window, the surrounding details gradually emerged.
Under the dark sky in the middle of the night, a salvage ship drifted on the turbulent waves. Its figure looked particularly strange and deep in the moonlight.
The hull structure of this ship is strange, as if it is made of a twisted fusion of ancient and modern technology. The hull is covered with mottled rust and unknown symbols, revealing a sense of vicissitudes that does not belong to this era.
You could only see so much from the window. Ruian thought about his identity as a salvage worker and this was the initial place. It would be okay to go out and explore, so he bravely walked out of the cabin.
The salvage ship is not as big as a luxury cruise ship. You can walk a few steps from here to the deck.
A towering lifting tower stands in the center of the hull. A huge mechanical arm is installed on the top of the tower, like a giant outstretched hand, ready to fish out unknown secrets from the deep seabed.
On both sides of the tower, various salvage tools are arranged in an orderly manner, including sharp cutters, shining with cold light, as if they can easily tear through the darkness of the seabed.
There are complex detectors, shining with blue light, searching for hidden secrets in the darkness.
There are also those strange-shaped hooks and nets, which hang silently on the deck, waiting for the next prey to arrive.
However, what really makes this ship look weird is not its cold mechanical structure, but its crew.
On the deck, several crew members were busy cleaning up the mess caused by the recent collision. It can be seen from their expressions that such collisions are very common on salvage ships.
Seeing Ryan appear, a crew member with a severed finger came up to say hello to him.
"You're awake. It seems that this operation was successful."
Hearing this, Ruian stood there with a look of surprise.
That expression seemed to say: What have you done to my body! ?
