Chapter 151 Evidence
Tofu didn't believe it, so he said suspiciously, "What if I don't have it?"

"If not, you don't need to dance the belly dance you owe us."

Hearing this, Tofu plunged into the narrow sink without saying a word.Due to the limited area of ​​the boat, the space is used as much as possible in the design. The tank looks like a small square, but in fact the bottom is widened to accommodate more fish and shrimp. Those widened positions, You have to dip your head into the water to see it.

It took less than a minute for the tofu to enter the water, and when it came out of the water, there were two more things in its hand, and it was the disappearing spirit bead.

Robot No. [-] said: "It seems that your belly dancing has to continue."

Robot No. [-] said: "The merits and demerits balance out, I think it can be avoided."

Robot Three said, "It's not a big deal for men to dance belly dances."

Robot No. [-] asked: "Is there any fish that slipped through the net?" Tofu spat out and said, reached into his trouser pocket, took out a living squid and threw it to No. [-], and said, "I knew it, so put The only squid that slipped through the net was caught by you, and you can roast it later, don’t be too grateful to me, I have no other advantages as a person, but people like it.” Tofu’s trick was good, and the four robots’ affection for him suddenly increased .I asked Tofu to put away his things, and the six of them returned the same way, and after a lot of tossing, they finally returned to the command room.

The entire command room can be said to be in a state of disarray now, one of the windows was shattered, the waves came in, and the command room was wet.The glass happened to be close to the command platform, and everyone was caught off guard. The command platform was instantly filled with seawater, dripping wet, and the screen that originally displayed the chart turned into a blue screen.

Not only the tofu, but I was also dumbfounded. I stared at the podium and said, "Don't tell me it's broken."

Carp grabbed his hair and said, "It's not all broken, it's just that the navigation system is broken." I almost had the urge to vomit blood, thinking that the navigation system was broken in the stormy sea, isn't that enough?Do all systems in the power system have to go on strike?At this moment, everyone had already found a piece of wood to block the broken window, and no more water came in for the time being.

The house leak happened to rain overnight. The navigation system is not just navigation. It also has functions such as signal transmission and network connection. Once the navigation fails, our ship will be completely isolated, and no one will know it when it dies at sea.Gu Wenmin shook his head slightly, sighed and said: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say anything, what about you? What have you gained?"

Tofu immediately took out the two items and said that they found them under the sink. It was already clear that the little girl took the items, perhaps out of playfulness, or for other reasons, and then threw the beads in the sink. into the water.

But is the disaster we are experiencing at this moment really related to the beads in our hands?
I turned my head to look at the spirit bead in Professor Lin's hand, and suddenly felt something was wrong, and said, "This bead seems to have changed."

Gu Wenmin's complexion was very bad, and his usually clear and moving voice was now also sinking, saying: "The previous precious light is gone, and they have become like two pearls." The two orbs I had lost all their luster, at first glance, they looked the same as pearls, only they were bigger.

Could the change of Lingzhu be related to this storm?

As soon as this idea came up, I saw Li Yu's face turned blue, and he knelt down suddenly, muttering words in his mouth, even Ah Ying's face turned ashen, and he knelt down, the two muttered words and muttered What we don't understand, the look becomes awed and reverent, much to the bewilderment of the rest of us.

Wu Sidong asked Professor Lin: "Teacher, what are they doing?"

Professor Lin frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Tofu said: "Do you still need to ask? It seems that you are engaging in feudal superstition." After saying that, he patted the carp on the shoulder and said: "Stop nagging, get up and sail the boat quickly. When killing fish, the fish has to fight two times." Next, although we are now on the verge of life and death, the chances of meeting Hades are very high, you can't just give up."

Li Yu immediately opened his eyes and said, "Quick, everyone kneel down and apologize to the Sea God."

Tofu said, "So what if it's really the sea god's mischief. Damn, we killed two of its subordinates who were working for the tiger. This is doing justice for the heavens. Why should I apologize." The carp was anxious, and said, "You don't know."

He looked at the beads in Professor Lin's hand, and then he talked about the reason for the incident.

The so-called spirit beads are naturally the orbs with souls stored in them, and the orbs have no spirit, so there is nothing surprising if the word "spirit" is removed.What we have seen before are the two pearls overflowing with precious light, which means there is a spirit in them.Before, we believed the fish ghost's complaint and took out the Lingzhu, but we didn't expect to be thrown into the water by the little girl.

When the fish finds the water, it escapes. As soon as the spirit pearl enters the water, the fish ghost has already escaped into the sea and complained to the sea god, so now the precious light is lost.It's not that the weather forecast was inaccurate, but that the weather forecast did not expect that there would be people like us at sea, which offended the god of the sea.

Hearing this, Tofu looked at the completely different orb again. His legs were also weak, and his knees seemed to be bent. It's funny to stop and move.When I heard Li Yu talk about this, I couldn't help but look at that little girl. How could this child who was mentally traumatized and had to be fed for food suddenly run away to steal those two beads?
No matter how you look at it, something seems wrong.

Carp looked at me, and also at the little girl, and said, "The fish ghost is also a ghost. This little girl has been severely injured. It is obvious that she has lost her soul. People who have lost their souls are most likely to be manipulated by those things, maybe At that time, I was driven by those two fish ghosts.” Folks believe that those who have mental problems, or those who are crazy or demented, are all because of incomplete souls. People with incomplete souls can easily be controlled by some dirty things.

In the old days, a strange thing often happened, that is, there was a stupid son in a certain family, everyone could bully him, but suddenly one day his eyes turned green, his saliva flowed, and he would bite anyone he saw. Half of the body is occupied by fox ghosts and the like.Whenever this happens, the family will invite a sorceress to beat her with a willow branch, which is called "killing ghosts".

After this dialogue, it is full of superstition, but combined with the development of the whole matter, we cannot help but believe it.

In the fishing room, Mrs. Tang tripped over Tofu again, asking us to find these two spirit beads, what is the purpose?Obviously, he was worried about his daughter, so he followed us all the time.From another perspective, he has become a potential patron saint. Whether it is the hidden ghost octopus or the current Lingzhu, he is helping us, more precisely, helping his daughter.

He tricked us into finding these two spirit beads. Do we have to start with these two beads if we want to solve this crisis?

But they have lost all their precious light, so what is the use?

According to Li Yu's words, first the fish ghost controlled the mentally disturbed little girl, entered the water with the little girl's hand, escaped into the water, and complained to the sea god, that's why we suffered this catastrophe.This statement seems unreliable, but the more I think about it now, the more it makes sense. Now that we know the cause, how can we resolve it?
I looked at the carp, and didn't want to speak, he smiled wryly and said, "I can only pray that the old man, Sea God, calms down his anger."

It was already two o'clock at noon, and the sun should have been shining brightly, but it was already dark outside, with dark clouds covering the top, and the sun and the moon were dimmed.It seemed that the old Sea God was very angry, and it was impossible to appease his anger.At this moment, Gu Wenmin stared at the front of the bow with sharp eyes, and said, "Look, what is that?" She often trained marksmanship and so on, her eyesight was very well protected, and she was careful, so she could often spot the clues of things in advance .

We followed her gaze, but saw a few huge black things looming in the turbulent sea not far away, appearing and disappearing in the huge waves.

The thing was huge and reminded me of a sea monster from an American movie.

What will it be?
Carp took a look through the binoculars, his expression changed, and he said in horror: "No, we have been pushed into the rocks by the wind and waves." I couldn't help but gasped, and couldn't say a word.Carp didn't care about praying on his knees anymore, and quickly got up, frantically wanting to turn around, and the power system was running to the extreme, but the small water machine under the boat, how could it compete with the power of the sea? , except for a little delay, our ship still inevitably headed towards those huge reefs like sea monsters.

Suddenly, I looked at the huge waves outside, and a flash of inspiration suddenly came to my mind, and I thought of a question.

Since it was the fish ghost who controlled the little girl at that time, why didn't it directly control the little girl to throw the spirit beads into the sea?Instead, throw it in our sink?
A thought came to me vaguely, and I said to myself: Is this a kind of location tracking?The Lingzhu is like a corpse, the evidence of our 'killing the fish and seizing the pearl'?

What if this evidence is destroyed or thrown away?

When this thought came together, it became unstoppably clear, I knew in my heart that now I can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and I must try any possible way out of the predicament.Everyone on the boat looked at the monster-like reefs that were getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but feel hopeless. At the critical moment, Gu Wenmin suddenly grabbed my hand, and his usually dark and gentle eyes seemed to be blinded now. Like a layer of water mist, he said, "I have something to tell you."

Tofu next to him said, "I also have something to tell you,"

I said: "Wen Min, I understand what you mean." I am not a person who likes to show my emotions, so I couldn't help but hug her at this moment.

Turning my head, I looked at Tofu and said, "What do you want to tell me?"

Tofu said: "Your pants were snagged on the deck before, did you know that?"

What?I was startled, and when I touched my butt, there was a big hole, and I got angry, kicked it over, and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Tofu took out his phone and said, "I wanted to take a picture, but the phone got wet."

I solemnly said, "It's not that your phone got flooded, it's that your brain has always been flooded." After I finished speaking, I stopped worrying about these things, and turned around to tell Professor Lin and Li Yu what I thought. When they heard it, they also expressed their willingness. After a try, we immediately decided to throw this troublesome spirit bead into the sea.
