After deliberation, it was decided that Victor would go up to see if he could find additional clues.
Lin Hangzhi went to drive the fishing boat, and Dong Zheng stayed on the deck with Wang Que to pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times, and by the way maintained the communication channel. Victor turned into a white cat, grew wings on his back, and flew straight onto the tall deck of the ship.
The whole ship is a nineteenth-century wooden structure, powered by a steam engine, the deck is covered with barnacles, and the strips of seaweed on it are still damp. Victor raised his claws and touched the sturdy mast. Judging from the sails and the marine creatures hanging on the mast, the ship seemed to have sunk once, and sailed out from the bottom of the sea like a ghost, floating on the sea endlessly.
The wooden box lock on the deck was rusted. Victor cut the lock with a swipe of his claws, and the box opened. Inside were the round cannonballs of the artillery. Just as he guessed, they were all soaked in water and completely misfired.
The ship was dead silent, not even a single sound could be heard. Victor went to the cabin for a walk again, but he didn't see half of the person. scrambled, and finally gave up.
Before the ghost boat and the fishing boat were staggered, he returned to the fishing boat and said, "Nothing."
"Then continue to set off." Dong Zheng sighed in relief, he glanced at his watch, two o'clock in the morning was the time when people were the most sleepy, "Everyone, go back to rest, and I will watch the night."
Everyone agreed and returned to their small rooms. Dong Zheng hadn't forgotten the water that was boiled for Cui Zuojing in the kitchen. Although Cui Zuojing had probably warmed himself up now, it was always good to take a shower.
Dong Zheng took the water back, Cui Zuojing's eyes lit up, and he took off his clothes and wiped his body with hot water. The cold that was stuck in the crevices of the bones and refused to disappear was quickly expelled. He felt much better and climbed back contentedly. The hammock, seeing that Dong Zheng did not intend to stay in the room, asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
"I'll keep watch."
Cui Zuojing snorted. He lay in the hammock and looked at Dong Zheng from the gap between the ropes and pointed to his face.
Dong Zheng stepped forward, leaned over with a smile and kissed the cheek restrained by the bed rope, then turned and left the cabin.
After that, they never encountered such a sudden incident as tonight.
The fishing boat was sailing on the empty sea, and the fog had not dissipated. In this depressing and empty environment, on the third day, everyone could not stand it more or less.
Because it's so boring, the endless sea, the destination I don't know when to arrive, and the white fog that seems to never disperse, all give people the feeling that the whole world is only left with this fishing boat, and the other on the boat. The illusion of a few people.
But for Cui Zuojing and Victor, fortunately, they have long been used to loneliness to a certain extent. Dong Zheng is also okay, he is lying in the hammock and closed his eyes, immersed in the core, since he accidentally opened the second floor of the temple that day, he will spend some time every day, gradually and carefully explore.
The opening of the new layer did not seem to give him the ability to bring him a new situation. It only further strengthened his spiritual power. Maybe Dong Zheng needed to develop it himself. In any case, the boring time on board could always be used by Dong Zheng. .
Cui Zuojing wandered aimlessly into the cab, Lin Hangzhi was dozing off, Cui Zuojing stared at the lights ahead that had been the same for a few days, and asked, "Has it changed direction?"
"Yes, I have adjusted the course several times." Lin Hangzhi said, "We are driving, and the light is moving. I hope we can catch up as soon as possible. The days at sea are too boring."
"Yes." Cui Zuojing patted him on the shoulder, "I can vaguely feel that it is not far away."
Night fell again, Cui Zuojing was standing on the side of the boat, Dong Zheng walked beside him, and the two looked side by side at the invisible front.
"To be honest, I'm looking forward to seeing Nana again, but I'm a little scared to see her." Cui Zuojing said softly, since the final battle, except for the dream that Luohuan pulled him into, he has been ten years He has never seen Chi Carp and Nana, but now that he thinks about it, he has somewhat forgotten the specific appearance of the other party.
He was afraid that after such a long time, the other party would no longer look like he was familiar with, and he was afraid that the situation of Chi Carp and Nana would be too difficult for him to accept.
"Anyway, it's the best to find her." Dong Zheng comforted, "She must be waiting for you and uncle like Fu Zhe back then."
Cui Zuojing didn't say anything. He closed his eyes and leaned his head lightly on Dong Zheng's shoulder. Only in front of the other party could he temporarily unload the heavy burden from his body, instead of being the backbone that supports the entire team. .
Time moved into midnight every second. As the ship moved, the fog seemed to lighten. Lin Hangzhi discovered this. He stared at the spot of light that had provided direction for several days in front of him, and suddenly found It's a lot clearer.
He stood up alertly, and at the same time, Cui Zuojing and Victor in the cabin also felt the familiar and unfamiliar power - the power from chaos.
Cui Zuojing ran out of the cabin and came to the deck again, followed by everyone, as the ship approached the light, in just a few minutes, the lingering fog slowly dissipated, and they entered an open circle. Area, in the center of the area, a small boat floats on the sea, a lantern hangs on the mast at the bow of the boat, and the light that never goes out illuminates every square inch.
A woman sat on the boat, her long black hair fell to the surface of the boat, her back was straight, and her slender samurai sword lay across her knees. She quietly looked at the empty front, until the fishing boat broke through the mist, and she suddenly noticed something and looked in the direction the boat was coming from.
The queen's curse came into play again, and the sealed chaotic power permeated, disregarding her wishes, all who saw her would be turned into nothingness and forgotten by the world forever, but this time, it was resisted by the same powerful force.
"Nai Nai." Cui Zuojing murmured, the figure sketched out all his memories at once, the one who patiently taught him swordsmanship and thousand techniques, the one who ruthlessly slaughtered the whole village of ghosts, and at the last moment tried his best to hold back the heir. J bought time for him... She was still the way Cui Zuojing remembered her in the last show, but her hair was longer.
Chi Carp Nana stood up. She looked at the approaching fishing boat and the group of people on the side of the boat, thinking it was another hallucination of hers. Yes, in this endless sea, how could anyone be able to see her
It has been countless times that all kinds of ships sailed to her side from the fog, she shouted loudly, but no one saw it, the moment those ships met her, under the vicious curse, they changed. Empty.
But the next moment, she recognized a familiar face in the crowd.
The boy who was 16 years old has grown up and has become more upright and heroic, but his eyebrows are still stubborn and tenacious. The man with short platinum blonde hair has violet eyes, and those gentle eyes are watching. she.
A left, Victor.
These two names were on her lips, but she couldn't pronounce them. The throat that had not made a sound for too long seemed to have lost the ability to speak. She opened her mouth and suddenly tasted the salty taste.
Countless memories drowned her like a flood, Fu Zhe, who always calmly analyzed everything, Victor, who embraced their small temper, Luo Xuan, who was full of countless fantastic fantasies, and Cui Zuojing, who was full of youthful blood. … They used to be the strongest team in the pure white world. From the confused dead to the most powerful pilgrims, blood, tears and sweat were dipped in the footprints of every step.
The fishing boat eventually came to a stop a few meters away.
Chi Li and Nana stood in a small boat that could only hold one person, watching Cui Zuojing put down the two lifeboats. He, Victor, another man and a girl sat on, and the lifeboats slowly rowed beside her. Finally got to the distance where they could hear each other talking.
"Nana." Cui Zuojing took a deep breath and asked, "Do you remember me?"
"How could I not remember." Chi Li and Nana said with a hoarseness and unfamiliarity that she hadn't spoken to for years, she smiled and said, "I finally waited for you."
"Sorry, we're late." Victor and Wang Que were sitting on another lifeboat. Seeing the current appearance of Chi Koi Nana, he couldn't tell how he felt. No one asked how she was doing over the years, because as long as she had eyes, she could see that she was not well.
Chi Li and Nana smiled and shook her head. She suppressed the turbulence in her heart, sat down again, and said softly, "I always believed that you would come one day."
Dong Zheng observed the pond carp and Nana, and tried to connect the woman in front of her with the description of Cui Zuojing. She was a Japanese woman and a famous lone wolf in the pure white world. She joined the afternoon tea party at the invitation of Fu Zhe, as their The most powerful fighting force, and cultivated Cui Zuojing into his later appearance. For Cui Zuojing, Victor is the elder, Fu Zhe is the teacher and captain, Luo Wan is a friend, and Chi Li and Nana are both teachers and friends.
"Have you been here all these years?" Cui Zuojing asked. He was actually afraid of hearing a definite answer. It would be absolutely cruel and inhuman if the pond carp and Nana had been floating on the sea in this state for ten years. experience. Victor became a cat and he was with him. His time was frozen and his family and uncle were by his side. Luo Wan was trapped in a dream. As for total loneliness. Fu Zhe was imprisoned in the old castle alone for eight years, but he can at least move around in a large area, and there are also mechanical kingfishers to obtain information about the outside world, but what about Nana
Her range of activities is only a small boat, and she is accompanied by only a light that never goes out, a samurai sword that never leaves, the endless sea and the fog that will never dissipate.
"This is just a clone of me, the real me, imprisoned in the void." Nana Chili said, how many days and nights of loneliness have finally come today, she doesn't want to talk about these years. The pain, can only laugh, the smile can not hide the bitterness.
Everyone was silent. For a long while, Nana took the lead in breaking the silence and said, "Do you know that the queen has an heir?"
"What?" Cui Zuojing was taken aback, he had never heard of the news, "Is there an heir?"
"Yes, this is the news I sensed in the void. Being selected by the forces of chaos also means that, to a certain extent, I can be everywhere." She gradually became more fluent, paused, and said, "Probably It was two years ago that I sensed the news that in addition to the current five heirs, the queen may have chosen a new heir."
Dong Zheng frowned, realizing that something was wrong. Victor caught some details from Chi Li and Nana's expression. He sank and said in a low voice, "You know something else, right?"
"Yes, after knowing this possibility, I have been trying my best to capture the relevant information, and I have probably decided on a few candidates." Chi Li took a deep breath, she closed her eyes, and seemed to be thinking about how to speak. After a long while, she finally raised her eyes, looked at the familiar teammate in front of her, and said slowly:
"After coming back, have you met Luo Xun?"
