Chapter 144 The Ghost Seeking Help

I don't want to die. After I die, Wenmin will have to be someone else's wife. I lost my relatives since I was a child, and I don't have a healthy family. I hope to create one with her in the future.

Even if I die, Tofu's skill is inferior to that of a woman, and I will definitely not be able to escape.Even if he escapes, I suspect that with his IQ, he will be tricked miserably in the future.Good people don't live long, but evil people last for thousands of years.In this cannibalistic society, without the help of a cruel and cruel friend like me, the little white rabbit Tofu would have a miserable life in the future.

I'm dead, who will collect my grandfather's remains?

I don't want to die, at least not at all until these things are done.

But the situation in front of me, how can I get what I want without wanting to die.My eyes were also red, and my heart was full of heat and hatred, and an idea popped up, no matter what, I have to pull a backer first.At the last moment, I planned to ignore those blood vessels and rush directly to the head of the ghost octopus to slap it flat. Unexpectedly, just as I was about to move, Tofu suddenly yelled: "Old Chen, I'm coming!"

I almost vomited blood, come, come, come!Come on!What are you doing at this time!I'm not a girl, why are you playing for love?

My eyes were hot, and I had the urge to scold my mother. At this moment, through the slits of the tentacles waving, I suddenly found that Tofu was shirtless and bare-legged, waving a ball of fire and rushed towards him. The kid set his clothes on fire?
In an instant, the fireball made of burning clothes was thrown onto the phantom octopus by the tofu. Because the skin of the phantom octopus has a layer of mucus containing oil, it will catch fire in no time, and the burning thing will shake its tentacles.These things have degraded eyesight and are cold-blooded animals that live in the deep sea. It is estimated that their ancestors have never seen fire for millions of years.

I was overjoyed. Taking advantage of this time, I rolled a few times on the spot, turned out of the narrow aisle, and hid in the spacious material room with the tofu. As the ghost octopus caught fire, it kept scurrying around, and soon Those lounges were all set on fire, and in the end, the thing was probably terrified of burning, and immediately began to crawl outside the entrance, seeming to want to hide back in the sea.

For a while, the cabin was full of fire, and Tofu and I panted heavily, not daring to argue with the ghost octopus for a while, and planned to wait for them to leave the cabin before fleeing for our lives. It can't burn people to death.

I took a few breaths, patted Tofu on the shoulder, and said, "Xiaodou, good job, that fish head was not in vain at noon during the day."

Tofu was wearing shorts. Hearing this, he was very proud and said, "Intelligence is innate. Elegance is unique...how do you say the slogan behind it?"

I choked, and said with a wry smile: "Stop talking nonsense, elegance has nothing to do with you, that grass didn't grow on your ancestral grave. I just know if your underpants are too big again, just pull it, it's about to fall off .”

This kid desperately wants to save face. When he went to buy pants, the one who sold them was a girl. He originally wore a small size, so in order not to lose face in front of the girl, he put on a calm face and said very pretentiously: "This one... I want the biggest size. "

When I said this, Tofu quickly lifted his pants and muttered: "Whoever buys a big one, I wear this size. Let's not talk about it. The fire is getting bigger and bigger. Let's go out." He took the opportunity to change the subject, Don't want to be hit again.

At this moment, the fire in the cabin had begun to spread gradually. Even without the flashlight, the cabin was still bright, and the two ghost octopus had disappeared.

Now I thought of Mrs. Tang and the others, and I wondered if they had been killed. Just as we were about to go out, there was a sudden bang bang bang sound from the fish cabin behind us.

Tofu and I were startled by the sound and turned around quickly, only to see the closed door of the fish cabin trembling, as if something was hitting it.Before Tofu and I could react, the door slammed open, and a bald man with a gun jumped out from inside, coughing violently.Tofu and I were stunned for a moment, we looked at each other speechlessly, we thought these four people were killed in some accident, who would have thought that when Tofu and I were fighting outside, they would hide in the fish cabin?

Damn, this move is too damaging.

The bald head rushed out, only looked at me and Tofu, without saying anything, immediately gestured towards the fish cabin, and said in a low voice, "Quick, come out." I saw a lot of smoke in the fish cabin, because The rest room is empty and connected to the fish cabin. It is estimated that after the fire started, the smoke went into the fish cabin, which must have smoked the four people inside.

After the bald-headed number one gestured, the bald-headed number two sprang out immediately behind, followed by the number three, and then the number four.

Tofu and I were stunned when we saw No. [-], because No. [-] had a little girl in his arms.

Before we could ask what was going on, Bald No. [-] quickly said, "Leave this ship first." The four acted in unison, but left Tofu and me behind.At this moment, the fire was already raging, and although there were many things I didn’t understand, it was too late to ask in detail. We hurried out, and when we passed the lounge, the little girl who seemed to have been frightened suddenly pointed to one of the lounges and cried Shout: "Dad, Dad." We looked towards the lounge, and there was no dad.

The little girl cried: "Daddy is under the bed."

Doufu kept quiet and didn't speak. We all know that her father who is hiding under the bed is probably dead.The little girl cried for her father, Tofu's heart softened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll drag the corpse out and touch one or two relics for the children." I didn't have time to stop him. Making excuses, I’m very active when I’m doing good deeds, and the speed with the rabbit makes me want to scold my mother, thinking that everyone is dead, why do I spend so much effort.

Tofu dragged out a corpse from under the bed and turned it over. It was a male corpse with a distorted face. When we saw his face, we froze for a moment: Mrs. Tang.

He also had no injuries on his body, and there were some corpse spots on his face, and black blood clots on the corner of his mouth. According to his symptoms, he had been dead for at least eight hours.

how so……

Could it be that the one we got along with before was always a corpse?
No, not possible.We were right next to him when he was changing clothes, and there was no injury on his body at all.

Tofu swallowed, and said, "Could it be that his ghost came out to ask us to help save his daughter?"

I said, "Impossible, there is such a nonsense."

The little girl kept crying and calling for her father. The bald-headed number one turned blue and said, "Hurry up, the fire is getting bigger and bigger."

Tofu sighed, and said to Mrs. Tang: "I don't know what you are, but we saved your daughter, so you can rest in peace." On his painfully distorted face, the eyeballs stared abruptly, a little scary .We ignored the little girl's crying, and immediately led people to run towards the entrance, our bodies could almost feel the threatening temperature of the flames.

When I left the door of the lounge, I subconsciously turned my head to look at Mrs. Tang's body. I still couldn't figure out why this happened, but when I turned my head, I suddenly found that those pair of eyes full of fear The protruding eyes were already closed.

Not to mention how complicated that mood is, I can't help but wonder, is Mrs. Tang, who has been with us all this time, not a living person?Did he make up a lie to lure us to the boat just to save his daughter?This is ridiculous.Before we had time to think about it, we escaped from the ship. Gu Wenmin and others were waiting outside, circling around in a hurry. After we boarded the ship, Professor Lin immediately shouted at the carp: "Stay away from the burning boat, don't get caught in the fire."

Under the control of the carp, our boat began to retreat, and quickly left the fire boat.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, illuminating a piece of sea surface, and the surging waves, reflected in the golden yellow dancing flames, turned into a pool of flowing amber.

We watched the fire, panting, Duan Fei and Wu Sidong kept asking what happened, but none of us could tell.

At this time, Gu Wenmin said: "Where is Mrs. Tang, has something happened to him?"

Tofu slid his throat and said, "Don't mention it, hell."

Gu Wenmin couldn't understand what she said. She frowned and said, "You haven't come up for a long time. When we were about to board the boat to search for it, two flaming things jumped out of the command room. I jumped into the sea all of a sudden, and I don’t know what it was. What did you encounter in it? Why is there only this little girl?” At this moment, the little girl had passed out and was placed on the ground.

Even I couldn't figure it out, so I asked the four bald men.I only heard from them that after going down to the cabin, there was no one there, and they were very vigilant. When they were about to kick the door to check like me and Tofu, there was faint crying in the fish cabin.Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally walked to the front of the fish cabin. The door was locked from the outside. They opened the door and walked in cautiously, only to find the little girl.

As soon as the little girl saw someone, she kept yelling to close the door, close the door, and her expression was very frightened. In order to appease her, several people had to close the door.In the end, after the little girl narrated sobbingly, they realized that the ship had encountered a major shock.The people on this ship were indeed pirates, and they hijacked the little girl's family in preparation for kidnapping.

During the process of being held in captivity, the pirates fished for fun, but they caught a ghost octopus.The pirates were startled by such a big phantom octopus, and quickly cut off the fishing line.Unexpectedly, the ghost octopus did not go away, but climbed up along the side of the ship. The guns of the pirates were useless. The ghost octopus is blocked, and the fish cabin is made of iron sheets on all sides because it is used to store fresh sea fish.Mrs. Tang hid her daughter in the fish cabin, intending to lure the ghost octopus away.

Everything behind is self-evident.

This scene happened eight to twelve hours ago.

Tofu's lips turned blue, and he said, "In other words, the one we rescued in the sea was Miss Tang's ghost."

I said: "Maybe even the name is fake." There is a folk legend about ghosts calling names. It is said that ghosts are very afraid of living people calling their names in life, and they will be scared away when they hear them. Perhaps from the beginning, this "Tang" **' just stared at us.
