Chapter 219 I have always been there
Lin Qi walked slowly in the shallow sea.
It’s walking, not swimming.
This is a very magical experience. The body is immersed in sea water, but it seems to be floating in the air, but the buoyancy is slightly greater than that of air.
He can naturally gather buoyancy under his feet and float in the water as if he is down to earth. He can also return the surroundings to the state of sea water, allowing him to swim like a fish.
Lin Qi felt like there was an extra layer of slippery fish skin around his body. The clothes would slide away as soon as the seawater touched them. At the same time, he could breathe freely in the seawater and no longer had to worry about falling asleep. Drowned in the garden.
This is the Breath of Water, similar in nature to Cat's Favor, and is a gift from the King in Yellow.
According to West, in addition to drama, the King in Yellow was in charge of the power of storms in the early days, which had nothing to do with water. The power related to water and the image of an octopus were all derived from It was stolen from an unnamed deep-sea octopus-headed evil god.
So Lynch understood why the deep divers and the yellow-robed apostles started fighting as soon as they met. If he were the deep diver, he would also fight against the yellow-robed disciples.
And if you have nothing to do, you just put a mark on my soul. Are you going out for quarantine?
Lin Qi shook his head and stopped amusing himself in his mind. A dark shadow had appeared in his field of vision.
It was a huge wind-steam hybrid cargo ship, the most common offshore cargo ship in contemporary times. There were some faintly glowing corals hanging around it, which barely illuminated the dark cargo ship.
The outer surface of the cargo ship was not seriously damaged. The ship's name and emblem were also painted on the side shell.
The Jackdaw, belonging to the Morrel and Sons Trading Company, suddenly sank in the waters near the port not long ago, and all the sailors on the ship were missing.
Lynch learned from Mark’s dying will that these deep divers were hiding in the sunken ship. Although he did not know the specific location of the sunken ship, after tortured Maya to extract a confession, he used the secrets of Ladis’ kitchen to Making a full meal of steak, in exchange for detailed information about the shipwreck, the specific location was deduced.
At this time, Lynch was like a predator in the sea, hiding behind the rocks on the seabed, quietly peeping at the sunken ship.
Unlike those shipwrecks in documentaries that were surrounded by marine life, there was no life around the Jackdaw at this time. There were swarms of small fish swimming nearby, but they stayed away as soon as they approached the shipwreck. Open, as if the most terrifying death is sleeping here.
In the holes of the sunken ship, several groups of dark human-shaped shadows emerged from it, patrolling around the ship like swimming fish. A strange water wave spread from their throats, hiding in the distance. Behind the reef, Lynch could only sense a strange, dull sound.
Sure enough, this is the lair of the deep divers.
‘Neighbor, talk to me, I can’t hold it any longer. '
Entering the enemy's nest alone, with his greatest support exhausted, Lynch is not as relaxed as he looks, especially in a depressing and dark place like the bottom of the sea, where he is under tremendous pressure every second, making The fear in his heart became increasingly difficult to control.
[You can leave, neighbor, you are not obligated to take this risk. 】
‘I... like this city a little bit, and there are some people in the city, and I want to protect them too. I want to stop Princess Chloe's plot and nip the threat in the bud. ’
【Come on, Lynch, I look forward to you showing the beautiful scenery. But I want to tell my neighbors and traveling companions that truth and falsehood are not contradictory. In the world of the soul, sometimes truth is the most dangerous lie. 】
'Um? What's the meaning? ’
[I do hide a lot from you, but that’s just because I don’t want to use me to change you. So, enjoy the scenery on the journey and do what you want to do. You don’t need to care about what I mean, because... this is your journey and no one should influence your decision. 】
‘What if my choice brings irreversible danger? ’
The chuckle in his mind was as gentle as the breeze, gently knocking on Lin Qi's heart:
[Oh, why are you afraid of these? You are my neighbor, Lynch, you are my chosen one. Do you really think that the crimson moon will just hang coldly in the sky, watching her neighbors struggle on the road to immortality? Have you forgotten that on the night you really woke up, I already told you that I...have always been there. 】Ma De, why is my heart suddenly so warm?
Lin Qi only felt a warmth in his chest, and even his eyes felt a little moist. The call of water must have failed, and the gift just didn't work.
Take a deep breath, and after taking a few mouthfuls of sea water, Lynch realized that the tension in his heart was gone. He held the conch on his chest and tapped it gently and rhythmically: The target has been found. , be prepared.
Soon, the same knocking sound came from the conch: everything is ready, safe journey, waiting for your triumphant return.
So, here I come.
Lin Qi disappeared, jumping lightly against the sand on the bottom of the sea, and rushed quickly on the bottom of the sea. As the distance shortened, the cargo ship became increasingly clear in the darkness.
There were several large holes in the bottom of the ship, and the wooden boards at the holes were torn and twisted, exposing the internal waterproof layer and the cabin. From the depths of the cabin, there seemed to be a faint light coming out.
"Eleven skeleton sailors kicked the round human head, and the red-headed parrot held the bloody eyeball in its mouth..."
Amidst the harsh singing, two more deep divers swam out of the hole, holding sharp blades. It looked quite dangerous.
Lin Qi hesitated for a moment, then switched to a state where he could walk quickly on water, quietly following behind two of the fish-men. But just after following a few steps, the singing stopped suddenly, and the fishman looked around cautiously.
The seabed was silent, and no unusual figures could be seen.
“Why is the water flow so strange? It seems like someone is following us.”
Oops, I forgot about the water flow. This is how fish seem to perceive the environment.
A word that came with the water waves made Lynch immediately nervous. He stopped motionless in the water and held the heavy cane.
"There must be fish, otherwise it's a warm current. It can't be a drowned corpse or an evil spirit from a shipwreck, or a curse from an angler?"
"Don't say such terrible things, there is No evil spirit dares to come near that adult.”
"What you said is more terrifying. Don't mention it. After the inspection, go back and have a drink. The rum on this ship is all good."
That adult... seems to be very difficult to mess with. .
The two deep divers didn't take it seriously and swam out quickly, but Lynch didn't dare to be careless, so he stretched the distance and fell behind them, watching them circle around to the crooked deck. .
Seeing them disappearing from the side of the ship, Lynch started moving again, treading water all the way up, and finally stuck his head out of the side of the ship, and saw the scene on the deck up close for the first time.
At this moment, Lynch felt that his scalp was numb and all the hair follicles felt like they were about to explode.
On the open deck, he saw a huge mass of gray sludge.
The sea of silt like a small lake kept rolling and undulating, and there were hundreds of heads floating in the lake. These heads have different appearances, each with eyes closed and crying in pain, and their mouths wide open, as if they are wailing miserably.
Shit, open the door to kill, hit head-on with a critical hit.
The visual impact was so strong that Lynch subconsciously retreated and almost fell back to the bottom of the sea. At the same time, he saw two deep divers shivering into the mud and avoiding the floating heads. , got into the entrance of the cabin on the deck.
? ? ?
Are you trying to get in?
