Chapter 71 The Ghost Ship in the Fog of the Prologue
There was a lot of fog.

The youngest Guo kept wiping his eyes, as if this could make his vision clearer, but this action was obviously useless.It wasn't his eyes that blocked his vision, but the sudden fog on the sea.In such a dense fog, he couldn't tell the direction at all, so he didn't dare to act rashly.In case my small fishing boat ran in the wrong direction or hit a rock, it would be a very bad thing.

So apart from the meaningless action of wiping his eyes, the young fisherman could only wait anxiously, waiting for the thick fog to clear before he could continue fishing or go home.The weather conditions in this sea area are generally not bad. The reason why Guo Laoyao is so nervous is because of a legend that has been circulating here for many years: when the thick fog falls on the sea, there will be terrifying ghost ships appearing from the fog.The ghost boats will capture all the fishermen who are shrouded in mist and go out to sea, leaving only empty boats that have lost their owners.Other than that, nothing on board will be lost.

The most frightening thing is that in some cases, it is said that some people will witness the ghost ship with their own eyes.On the ghost ship, you can see those fishermen who have disappeared long ago. They are all still alive, but they have become slaves of the devil. They will never grow old and die, and will always be driven by the devil.

This kind of legend may seem nonsense to many people, but Guo Lao Yao firmly believes in it. The reason is very simple. 12 years ago, when he was nine years old, the uncle who raised him all the time was in the Disappeared after encountering sea fog.People found his fishing boat in the sea, which was still covered in mist. The fishing boat was full of fishing gear, food, and even many fresh sea fish that hadn’t expired. It was obviously the result of this fishing trip, but he and his However, the two companions of the two have long since disappeared.

Guo Laoyao firmly believes that his uncle was taken away by a ghost ship. Although he also hopes that his uncle will come back to relieve the family's pressure of earning money, he still dare not go to sea whenever it is foggy.After all, his own life was more important than his uncle's whereabouts.

But he never imagined that one day he would suddenly encounter thick fog when going out to sea and be trapped suddenly.Now he can only pray to the gods, praying that this is just an accidental sea fog, that it will not bring that horrible ghost ship, and that he will not become a servant of the devil from now on.

But as is often the case, the more you fear something, the more it will show up to you.Just as the youngest Guo was sitting in the bow of the boat, he suddenly heard a strange sound.The sound was like someone singing, but it didn't sound like a mouth and tongue sound. It seemed to be closer to a guttural sound, and it was quite sharp and harsh, which made him feel very uncomfortable when he heard it.

The most important thing is, how could there be such a strange sound in this sea?The youngest Guo began to feel that her legs were trembling uncontrollably, and her upper and lower jaw seemed to be colliding with each other uncontrollably.He was about to find two rags to plug his ears, but he saw a shadow gradually appearing in the thick fog.

The shadow of a gigantic creature slowly approaching from a distance.

The youngest Guo felt that his breathing was about to stop, because as the huge shadow kept approaching, he could already gradually distinguish that it was a ship, a ship with a strange appearance.

ghost ship!The youngest Guo almost collapsed on the side of the boat.He couldn't believe that fate would treat him so cruelly, and for a moment he almost wanted to jump into the sea and drown, at least he didn't have to be endlessly driven by the devil.But after all, the fear of death overwhelmed everything, and in the end he didn't jump, but just opened his eyes wide in fear, staring at the gradually expanding shadow.

Finally, the ghost boat broke through the fog and came to the side of Guo Laoyao, a small fishing boat.At such a close distance, the youngest Guo can clearly see that there are many boatmen busy on board.Suddenly, he exclaimed: "Uncle!"

He saw his uncle on the ghost ship!As if to prove the correctness of the legend, the uncle who disappeared 12 years ago really appeared on this ghost ship in the mist at this moment.Uncle was pulling a cable on the deck, his movements were stiff and weird, and there was no expression on his face.What surprised Ms. Guo the most was that his uncle was already in his 40s when he disappeared. 12 years later, he should have been an old man close to 60 years old, but the face was the same as the last time he saw it in his memory. It was exactly the same, without any trace of change.

The ghost ship that appeared in the thick fog...takes away everyone who breaks into the fog realm...turns these people into the devil's slaves...never grow old...never die...

The black legend turned out to be true!The youngest Guo was trembling all over, feeling like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.He wanted to call out to his uncle, but he didn't dare to make a sound, and forgot to flee by boat.When he finally remembered that he should run for his life, he found that his uncle's face turned to him.

Did uncle see me?He speculated, and even began to wonder with luck, whether his uncle would spare his life for the sake of the past family relationship.But he soon discovered that his judgment was wrong.Because the cable has been put down in the uncle's hand, and there is another thing.

It was a long, thin black noose.Uncle was throwing off the rope with a ruthless gesture, waving it in the air, no doubt aimed at him.

At the moment when the doomsday was approaching, the youngest Guo still had time to conjure up such a thought: It seems that anyone who is under the hands of the devil can grow in skills.Uncle was just an honest and ordinary fisherman all his life. He was forced to be drafted into the army, but he was driven back because he was clumsy and cowardly.

But now, the expressionless uncle is a cold-blooded killer who treats life like nothing.His hands waving the lasso were as stable as a rock, as if he was correcting the best direction, and then, the lasso flew out like a shooting star, and it was precisely wrapped around his nephew's neck.

The last thing Guo Lao Yao could feel was that the noose tightened his neck, and a huge force pulled his whole body into the air, flying towards the ghost ship that devoured life.

About one hour later, the fog cleared, and the sea returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.Only Guo Laoyao's empty fishing boat drifted alone with the waves, as if still waiting for the master who would never return.
