After waking up

At this moment, the boys and girls over there were no longer as calm as before. Anyone could see that they were frightened. There were also people nearby looking at them curiously, and even familiar restaurant waiters asked about their situation, but both of them shrank back. In the corner next to the door, he covered his ears with a pale face and answered questions that he didn't understand.

"The sound, the sound is so scary!"

"I'm scared! It's coming again, it's coming, it's so close, so close!"

A restaurant waiter nearby felt a little confused. He knelt down and touched the boy's forehead. Except for a thin layer of sweat on his hand, he didn't feel it was very hot.

"What's the sound? Are you sick?"

The waiter was different from the people watching with curiosity. He had a good relationship with the boy and girl. He was one of the few people who really cared about their situation. When he was about to say something else, a comment stood out more than the others. The sound came from outside the onlookers.

"Is what you hear singing?"

This voice came from Mulan who was close here. He had already whispered sorry to others, then arrived in front of the boy and girl, and handed the waiter a banknote with the king's portrait printed on it.

"Help me pay the bill. This is the cost of my meal."

"Uh, okay sir."

When the waiter subconsciously took the banknotes, Mulan was already squatting in front of the boy and girl, looking at the panic in their eyes and asked again.

"Is there no lyrics, just a humming sound?"

The pupils of the boys and girls dilated slightly, their attention finally focused on Mulan, and their voices sounded a little excited.

"You heard it too? You heard it too, right?"

"It's singing, singing!"

Mulan nodded.

"It's a beautiful song, but it gives me an inexplicable creepy feeling. Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Although Mulan spoke to the boy and girl, his voice was not inaudible, and the onlookers nearby also heard their conversation.

"Singing?" "Where is the singing?"

"I didn't hear it." "Me neither."

People around were talking, and some were listening. After all, it was okay that the boys and girls were incoherent before, but it was different when it came from someone like Mulan. But obviously, apart from the noise in the restaurant and the storm and waves outside, They heard nothing but the sound.

One of the guests tried to listen for a while but couldn't hear anything, but suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but say something.

"There's really no singing, but I did think of a rumor."

Mulan was still asking the boy and girl in a low voice, but the two just covered their ears and shook their heads with ugly faces. But after hearing the guest's words, Mulan turned his head to look at each other keenly.

"What are the rumors? Please tell me in detail."

The guest glanced at the storm outside the cabin window, thought for a moment and said.

"The Higgins lost its way in a storm six months ago. It was supposed to go to Mary Harbor. When it finally appeared, it had seriously deviated from its course. When it arrived at Glen Peninsula, there were less than half of the people on the ship. It was said to be because of the storm, but Some crew members and passengers also reported in newspapers that they heard beautiful singing in the storm."

Before the man finished speaking, a bearded man wearing a deerstalker hat beside him blurted out something.

"Do you mean to say the sea succubus?"

"This was published in the newspaper at the time, not what I said, but it is indeed easy to think of it, especially at sea in this kind of weather."

It's like telling a scary story late at night in the right atmosphere.

The words of the two made some of the boat passengers nearby tremble slightly. Even the noise in the restaurant seemed to have a chain reaction. People nearby rubbed their hands, and people far away noticed that there was no sound and subconsciously stopped. As they talked and observed, the whole restaurant gradually became quiet.

Of course, in addition to most people being hairy, there are also some young people who are curious. After all, although the rumors about the sea succubus are not good, the legend also says that the succubus is very beautiful.

"Banshee?"

Mulan had no impression of this. He thought he had not paid much attention to this before, but he immediately realized something. He took off the coat from his shoulders and placed it on his knees. Then he took out a prototype metal prototype similar to a pocket watch from the inner pocket with his right hand. Object, the cover will flip up automatically with just a slight press.

This is a direction table, something like a compass, which was a standard issue for Dilga officers during the war, so that the army could assist in ensuring its orientation during war deployment.

At this moment, the north needle of the direction table is consistent with the direction of the restaurant bar, and the direction of the bar is also the direction of the ship's bow.

At this moment, everyone including Mulan who could read the direction chart and understood its meaning felt a numbness in their scalps.

"Our ship has deviated from its course. It should be sailing northeast along Bodia Bay!"

"When did it happen?" "Then where is it sailing now?"

"I don't know, it's heading north!"

"What's ahead? What's to the north?"

The passengers beside him all panicked, and the singing seemed to be responding to everyone's fear, and another clear humming sound reached Mulan's ears.

Mulan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Thanks to the training he had received on the battlefield, he seemed extremely calm at this moment and was able to eliminate the interference of fear on his consciousness.

His intuition told him that this was probably an extraordinary event and a situation that was likely to threaten his safety.

When he finished breathing out, Mulan had already taken off the hanging bandage on his left arm around his neck and threw it on the ground. He moved his left hand that was still wrapped in the bandage, then stood up, swung his coat and put it on. superior.

"I'm going to have a look in the cab. Is there anyone with you?"

When Mulan asked this, the people around him looked at each other in confusion. It took a while before anyone responded to him.

"I will go with you."

"I'll go too!" "Count me in!"

One of the speakers was a young man wearing a sweater and suspenders, another was a man in casual clothes wearing a wool peaked cap, and the third was the bearded gentleman wearing a deerstalker hat.

"Who knows the cab?"

"I, I know." "Let's go too!"

The two boys and girls who were trapped in fear finally came to their senses and spoke out one after another. Mulan didn't care so much anymore, picked them up from the ground one by one, turned around and left the restaurant with a few words.

"Follow up if you want. Others had better stay together and don't scatter. Who knows the cab?"

Those who had just said they wanted to go together all followed. The bearded man wearing a deerstalker hat quickly returned to the table where he was dining, picked up his silver-handled cane, and hurried after everyone.

If there really is a sea succubus, then there is no doubt that they are in danger. Even if not, it is certain that the ship has deviated from the course at this moment, and there is nothing wrong with going to the bridge to confirm the reason.

Mulan led the boy and girl in front, and the others followed closely. A group of eight or nine people walked hurriedly in the cabin aisle. Some places were quiet, and some places could hear the noise in other cabins and halls. .

But they would not inform others one by one of the situation they were facing at the moment. They would only inform others of the fact that the hull had deviated from the direction when they bumped into someone on the road. From the middle cabin to the height of the hull, the team had expanded to more than a dozen people. .

In front is the driver's cab.

"Woo, woo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, boom."

The driving cabin of the Princess Ness Helier is on the high driving deck. On the cabin passage leading to the driving cabin, the storm outside is particularly obvious, but corresponding to it is the silence of the surrounding cabins.

Everyone, including Mulan, was a little nervous. The former calmed down and reached for the door handle, but before that, the bearded gentleman wearing a deerstalker hat handed over a cane.

"Sir, you must be an officer, right? This is for you. Inside the cane is a silver dagger. You can pull it out by gently turning the handle."

Mulan glanced at the other party and did not refuse. He took the cane with his left hand and gently turned the door handle with his right hand to open the cab door.

A group of people watched outside. It was quiet inside. The kerosene lights in the room seemed a little dim. Only the lightning that lit up from time to time could illuminate the cab. The entire cab seemed a bit empty. There was only one helmsman standing on the helm. Hold on to the rudder.

Just as Mulan was about to step into the cab, lightning lit up on the left side and a long figure was dragged out in front of the door. Almost at the same time, a warning sign arose in Mulan's heart.

‘There’s someone hiding by the door! ’

The next second, a figure suddenly flashed out of the cab door, but Mulan's reaction was faster than the other person. Before the other person could raise his hand, he had already kicked him out.

The huge force actually kicked the person off the ground, and then hit the console behind him with a "bang".

Then, almost at the same time that the attacker slammed into the operating platform and attracted everyone's attention, Mullan rushed into the cab and grabbed a pistol that fell from the attacker's hand.

At the moment when he caught sight of it from the corner of his eye, Mulan, relying on his battlefield instincts, had already raised his gun and shot at the black figure hiding on the other side of the door.

"Bang, bang, bang~~~"

The three gunshots were more frightening than the thunder, causing all the people outside the door to squat down, while Mulan in the room had already lowered his body, observing the surroundings while paying attention to the person who had been kicked away by him before. The man was clutching his stomach with a look of pain on his face, temporarily unable to move.

Mulan was in a state of excitement all over, and the intense tension made him gasp for breath. As an officer who had come down from a cruel battlefield, and as a soldier who was quite confident in his marksmanship, he had no doubt about the accuracy of those three shots.

But in the direction where Mulan shot, he only saw three bullet holes not far apart on the wall.

It was just a dark shadow, no one at all?

No, no, I won’t be wrong!

"Hmm~~~~Ha~~~~~"

A beautiful melody came again, and the hair on Mulan's body stood up. He turned his head in the direction of the singing. Outside the cabin of the cab, a figure was looking at him close to the glass.

This figure is a woman, her whole body is hazy, shrouded in a layer of mist in the rain. Even so, she can still see that she is naked, and her figure and face are very beautiful.

If she didn't have those five conspicuous blood holes on her body.

The blood hole was still leaking blood at this moment, like a spider web made of blood threads, dyeing the piece of glass with a red blush.

"Hmm~~ah~~~~~"

The woman opened her mouth slightly and emitted a beautiful melody, and a similar melody echoed in the ocean.

Sea succubus?

Mulan's pupils dilated slightly, then contracted sharply. He saw the woman stretching her hand in his direction. The feeling of almost grabbing him was so strong that he jumped back in an instant and threw it away. While holding the pistol, he drew his own sidearm.

A burning sensation of iron and blood flowed through Mulan's body along the revolver.

Grant you, death!

"boom--"

At the moment of the gunshot, a round of flames burst out.
