Ultraman in the world of grams

Chapter 120 Crew
On the Boston-Atlantic-Panama Canal-Pacific route, a cruise ship quietly drifts away from the sea and sails into the distance.

This cruise ship looks very magnificent up close, and its name is taken from the myth and legend - "Hydra".

On the high observation deck of the Hydra, a series of footsteps sounded, and the employees who came to change shifts greeted David Smith with a smile.

"Oh, my dear fellow, now you can go down and have a nice evening."

David also showed a smile, stretched out his hand and gave a high-five to the changing crew, and looked at the observation deck for the last time, and the pitch-black night, there were no stars in the sky, not even the moon, it was so frustrating disturbed.

The weather was bitterly cold, and although the boat below was lively, the observation deck was not lonely and deserted.

He has been guarding the observation deck for a day, and it is time to go down and take a rest.

The crew member on shift asked casually, "Nothing happened, right?"

"Of course not." David said casually, "Except for two big fish jumping on the water in the afternoon, nothing happened."

This route is a proven safe route, there are not many reefs, and they are not heading north, so they will not encounter the original tragedy of the Titanic.

However, the post of lookout is still necessary to observe emergencies on the sea at any time.David is one of them.

"There seems to be some movement under the surface of the sea." The watchman who changed the shift was a novice who was not very experienced. He looked at the sea surface that blended with the dark night with some anxiety.

"Don't worry about it." David said casually, "It's a very normal thing for the fish under the sea to be attracted by the boat's motives."

"Really?" The watchman who changed the shift nodded, and they chatted casually, and then David walked off the watchtower.

When passing by the first-class restaurant, which was brightly lit, David glanced inadvertently.

It was found that several people who looked like explorers gathered together and seemed to be discussing something.Among them, he saw the red-haired young lady that the crew talked about.

The other people should be the expedition team from Miskatonic University that the eldest lady invited to come to the ship.Out of curiosity, David couldn't help but take a second look.

He is an old sailor who has been wandering on the sea for many years. When he first joined the job for a few years, an experienced old sailor warned him that he would meet an archaeologist at sea, and the expedition team... especially Miskatonic. University students, you must avoid them more, or you will be in bad luck.

David hadn't met this type of person yet, so he didn't really believe it.

There are always some strange rumors on the sea, but most of them are just rumors without reason.Maybe it was just a rumor made up by some sailor who thought the density was not pleasing to the eye.

David took a look and left, after all, those people looked no different from ordinary people.

He soon came to the restaurant on the lower floor.

There are several crew members of the Hydera sitting around here. It is late at night, and the dining guests have already left. Except for these few people, the restaurant is empty.

These crew members are the waiters serving the guests at dinner time, and some people are discussing with great interest the anecdotes of the passengers on the ship, and they are talking about the scholar Howard Wilson of the expedition who caught the thief.

"Before I could react, Mr. Wilson over there slapped the thief, and the security guards on the ship may not have such skills. In my opinion, he doesn't look like a scholar at all." The waiter discussed enthusiastically what happened during the day.

"It doesn't look like the clothes. How can a professor be dressed so shiveringly? He eats as if he has been hungry for three days and three nights. The feeling of talking is also a bit strange. If I didn't come with Miss Ellis, I thought it was The thief who got on board."

"Maybe all great scholars are so weird." The person next to him echoed.

"By the way, besides the thief, there seem to be other dangerous elements on board, what's the matter?" This was because the crew who had been busy with other things before missed the big search in the afternoon, so he was a little worried.

"We found the bomb very quickly, but the suspect has never been found." Another person who participated casually said, "There shouldn't be any trouble."

At this time, they found David who had just come in and welcomed him warmly.

"Hi, off work, my friend!"

"Of course," David greeted the crew with a smile.He is very popular on board, and everyone is happy to get along with him.

Just as he was sitting down to eat and chat, there was a collision, the shock of something with a carapace or scales hitting the pillar seemed to come from the depths of the ship.The vibration wasn't too severe, but it was enough to interrupt the crew's conversation.

Even the decorative vases on the table trembled slightly from the shock.

"Why are there so many fish bumped into today?" David muttered doubtfully as he swallowed the last piece of bread in his mouth.

"This doesn't seem to be the movement outside." The waiter on the side questioned in a low voice.

"It's inside the cabin...it seems to be in the lowest warehouse." Others also interjected.

"Is there something wrong with the goods?" David shook his head. Anyway, he is not in charge of the warehouse, so this matter should have nothing to do with him.

But when he was full, he suddenly became interested, and it happened that he knew the warehouse manager, so he stopped by to help him look at the warehouse.

He took a flashlight casually, and walked straight into the cabin in the dark depths.

There was a ticking sound from somewhere around, as if water was dripping somewhere.

But there shouldn't be any dripping leaks in this airtight cabin.

Quiet, quiet without any sound except dripping water.

A hoarse scratching sound came from the ground, if it wasn't for the silence here, it would be almost impossible to detect it.

Something strange streaked across the floor...

or……

climbed?

Just judging from the sound, it looks like some kind of giant beyond expectation.

An indescribable horror struck David like an electric shock.

It can't be some kind of fish!
It is impossible for fish to climb on the deck!
It is impossible for a fish to be this big!
So what exactly did he hear?
He was not far away from the warehouse, and when he opened the door on the next step, a fishy smell seemed to gradually diffuse in the darkness.

The light of the flashlight was also squeezed by the darkness, leaving only a beam of light.

David staggered and wanted to retreat, and he subconsciously turned around and tried to escape.

A scarlet crescent hung high in the darkness, illuminating his frightened face.
