Fast Forward To three thousand and seventy seven

The boarding process was not as dangerous as expected.

On the one hand, the sea cliff is on the edge of the port. With the bean sprout vehicle, the party jumped directly from the side next to the port and landed directly in the center of the port.

On the other hand, although the monsters on the other side of the urban relics perceive the situation here, there is still a long distance on both sides. When they converge here, Xu Jiu and others have come near the ship.

Previously, in the shelter on the edge of the sea cliff, I saw only part of the ship from a commanding position.

When it is really close, a line of people will feel its particularity.

It is reasonable to say that all kinds of mottled marks will appear on the outside of the hull of ships sailing offshore or at sea. Even Xu Jiu's steel giant ship in his previous life can still not escape the erosion of barnacles and sea water.

Not to mention wooden sailboats like this.

However, the white sailboat that appeared in front of Xu Jiu was intact. Not only was there no sign of damage around its hull, but even all kinds of exquisite patterns engraved on it were clearly visible, as if the water had not caused any erosion to it.

This makes Xu Jiu more and more convinced that the ship should be guarded by some mysterious force.

Arriving at the sampan connecting the ship and the port, Xu Jiu's attention was attracted by a black silhouette standing on the edge of the port.

He confirmed that this was accompanied by the establishment of boarding sampans.

After seeing the priests in the temple because their bodies were affected by the spell, Xu Jiu was sure that these black silhouettes represented people or other creatures without exception. It was only because the two sides were in different spaces that they were presented to the public in this state.

Conversely, do Xu Jiu and others also present in a black silhouette in each other's eyes?

Zheng Yi obviously noticed that the ship was different from the one he had boarded before. After a short hesitation, Xu Jiu made the same judgment, went straight to the dark shadow standing next to the sampan and showed her ticket certificate.

Because she didn't know how to give it to the other party, Zheng Yi had to try to send it first.

I didn't expect that with Zheng Yi's footsteps approaching, the black silhouette beside the sampan directly reached out to hold the upper end of the ticket voucher. Then I saw that the voucher gradually became blurred and disappeared in his hands.

Zheng Yi widened her eyes and unconsciously tightened her fingers until the three tickets in her hand disappeared completely

Xu Jiu took five vouchers, and their team had only 12 people. Naturally, they couldn't use all of them, so the remaining two are now quietly lying in the backpack compartment behind him as his "collection".

"In a group of two, one from the different adjustment Bureau and one from the secret society. After boarding the ship, approach the other side of the deck. Don't go to the cabin. Don't look around!"

No matter how the other party gets the ticket certificate, since it is accepted, it means that he can get on the ship, Zheng yidang waved and said.

There is still a distance between the strange group in the rear and the port. We are not in a hurry. Moreover, if there is any danger hidden on the ship, rushing forward will undoubtedly make it more difficult to retreat.

Fortunately, the fact proved that Zheng Yi thought more. Madeleine, who was the first to go up, and a secret instrument, quickly put out her head and made a safe gesture, and the people immediately accelerated their steps.

When Xu Jiu at the end stepped on the deck, the people in front had leaned towards the other side of the ship according to Zheng Yi's requirements, and everyone was very careful.

Xu Jiu didn't hurry to follow, nor did she listen to Zheng Yi. Instead of looking around, she carefully observed the things on the deck.

There is nothing special. Apart from the strong mast, it is an ordinary deck. If there is any difference, it is the cabin or the captain's room.

The ebony accessories and gold decorations hanging above made Xu Jiu doubt what a luxury yacht it was. If the money in his card had already become a meaningless number, he might want to deduct some and take it back.

Anyone here?

Xu Jiu's eyes turned around the ship and never saw other passengers.

In his past, such a huge sailing boat is unlikely to serve only the ruins of the city. This is not a simple guess, but Xu Jiu speculated according to the ticket certificate and the time interval of the ship's landing.

The boat tickets in the temple can only be made five at a time. From the previous competition, we can know that it is definitely not a ceremony for more than ten minutes. Otherwise, Xu Jiu took the boat tickets, and the black silhouettes don't have to be so angry. It's a big deal to wait for a while.

There is no doubt that the ceremony will only be held within a specific time, and the interval between the two ceremonies will never be short. Similarly, the ship comes every half day. Such a huge ship can't just pick up more than ten people.

So where are the others?

Or is this city heritage actually the starting point, and you have to pick up people from other places in the future?

Xu Jiu stood on the side of the ship near the port and looked at the sampans below. He wanted to see if there would be others boarding from the city ruins. If so, he could roughly judge how often the ceremony in the temple would be carried out through the number.

One minute, three minutes, five minutes

Time passed, but Xu Jiu didn't see any black silhouette. On the contrary, the evil in the urban ruins appeared near the port again.

It's strange that all these monsters that can't be eliminated as long as there is evil energy stop outside the port. No matter how they open their teeth and claws, they refuse to get close to the ship.

Do they still have something to fear?

At this time, Xu Jiu, who was waving to these monsters on the ship and deliberately wanted to lead them over, was surprised. He knew that since the ship could stop here, there must be some means to fight the monsters, which was the reason why he deliberately recruited them.

But Xu Jiu didn't expect these monsters to be so useless.

Unfortunately, because the round bead is sealed, Lingshi can't use it for the time being, otherwise she can observe the situation... Xu Jiu can actually replace the ones engraved on her body through the strange object ring, that is, the combined spell seal in the curse ring, but this practice will continue to consume the source crystal.

Besides, the random release of the seal will cause a riot in Yuanzhu. Xu Jiu doesn't want to be expelled as the same thing as those guys outside because of the strong evil energy on the ship.

About ten minutes later, no one appeared at the port, and the black silhouette guarding the sampan boarded the ship again.

At this time, Xu Jiu suddenly realized that the ship had been parked in the port for so long, probably waiting for the person holding the other two tickets.

Yes, the two tickets that Xu Jiu grabbed and hid.

They obviously didn't think that someone could swallow the ticket voucher alone in front of all the waiting people.

Now it's time for the ship to stop waiting.

The sail heaved down again.

It's time to go to the next place.

As the ship leaves the port.

The scene of the port gradually became blurred in the continuous wind and rain.

The strange roar could be heard at first, but then there was only the "crash ~" sound of water waves hitting the ship.

The expedition gathered at a corner on the right side of the deck. Colonel Zongze formed a steam layer above with his own ability to barely cut off the rain, so that everyone had the space to observe the surroundings.

Although Zheng Yi said it's best not to look around, people are on the boat. You can't close your eyes and pretend you don't know anything, can you?

Besides, the atmosphere on this ship is really strange.

"So was the last time you came?"

Xu Jiu leaned against the side of the ship, but his eyes turned to the captain's room and the entrance of the cabin in the middle of the ship. He wanted to go in and see if there were other passengers or crew.

Yes, up to now, except for the black silhouette that came down to the port inspection certificate just now and returned to the boarding gate, there is no person or other black silhouette on board.

This is obviously not normal.

"There were crew members before... At that time, although they could not be seen, some things on the ship kept moving, such as these fixed cables and the wooden barrel over there, there would be invisible crew members moving."

Zheng Yi observed the surrounding situation, and the final conclusion made him frown.

Even if it's a ghost ship, there must be a ghost cruise on it, right?

"Since the ship can start, there must be someone in the captain's room. You stay here and I'll go and see the situation."

The situation of the ship was quite different from that of Zheng Yi before. Xu Jiu had to be more cautious. After all, he would go to sea soon. If there was an accident on the sea, it would be a dilemma.

Zheng Yi also thought of this, so she didn't mean to stop Xu Jiu. She just told them not to have a conflict on the ship. After all, they had to rely on the ship to go to the seal place.

Put on the mechanical mask again. In order to prevent being misunderstood, Xu Jiu did not use the shock step to control the air flow to block the rain, but leaned along the ship's side to the position of the captain's room in a normal state.

Observing the arrangement on the ship along the way, Xu Jiu's eyes first stopped on the mast for a while. Before, he saw the rise and fall of the canvas with his own eyes. It is reasonable that someone must do the work, but he looked around and didn't seem to be guarded.

How did the sail operate before that?

Suddenly, Xu Jiu stopped, looked left and right, suddenly raised his feet to the nearest mast, arched his waist slightly to observe the base of the whole mast.

right enough!

At the mast base where about two people hold each other, there is an annular mechanical device.

It was covered by a rain curtain just now, so Xu Jiu couldn't see it clearly. Xu Jiu only thought it was a protective device for protecting the mast from collision, but now he came close and found that it was not at all.

It's like a medieval sailboat with a radar device. It looks very strange.

Not only that, there are several pulleys connected with the above-mentioned mechanical devices at the winding position of the cable originally used for lifting the sail. The line of sight extends upward along these devices, and other supporting devices can be seen.

No wonder there is no one here. As long as you press the button installed somewhere, it will automatically complete the instruction of lifting the sail!

The ship is by no means a simple sailboat. Realizing this, Xu Jiu turns and goes straight to the captain's room. If he guesses well, there is a device to control the sails.

Climbing the stairs on the left side of the captain's cabin, Xu Jiu soon noticed the light yellow light on one side of the cabin.

If you need lights, there must be someone inside!

The pace accelerated. Just as Xu Jiu was about to come to the cabin door, the cabin door was opened first. Two black silhouettes of ordinary people came out of it, and the two sides hit each other head-on.
