A tall figure walked into the cabin door, wearing a neat uniform, he was the chief mate of the "White Angel".
Jack.
Jack stared at the two in front of him silently. After a long silence, he let out a hoarse laughter: "You know?"
His gaze has been fixed on the sailing diary in Yue Ze's hand.
"The White Angel... ha, it shouldn't have existed in the first place! Neither pure, nor angelic, nor ever great..."
No one answered, but Jack was in a trance, and murmured to himself: "This ship is just a phantom that should have disappeared long ago, only those people are still immersed in the false prosperity of the past, but we should have sunk to the bottom of the sea long ago .”
"We can't get out of this sea area, and we can never reach our destination."
Looking at Jack who seemed to be in a nightmare, Yue Ze was not too surprised, but opened his black book calmly.
The cover is heating up, and the plot begins to be updated.
[A group of travelers take a cruise ship and embark on a wonderful journey.]
[A journey that never ends.]
[Where should we go?]
[Where should we be buried?]
He is keenly aware that the focus of the next plot must be closely related to Jack in front of him.
"Excuse me, Mr. Jack."
Yue Ze closed the pages of the book and asked calmly, "Do you still remember his name?"
Jack's face changed slightly.
Koshizawa didn't specify who this "he" was, but Jack knew it very well.
"Samir..." he confided the name of his past lover in pain, "my boy... he sank in the sea forever, he was buried in a place with strange rocks and whirlpools..."
As if immersed in unbearable grief, First Officer Jack's face became paler, and he staggered away, ignoring the two other people in the cockpit.
Rocky places, Under the whirlpool
After the first mate Jack left, Yue Ze also frowned slightly, as if thinking of something, he continued to grope in the cockpit.
"I think you are looking for this thing?"
Suddenly, a graceful voice floated into the ears of the two of them.
After hearing this voice, Zhang Cuihua's expression suddenly changed, and she suddenly turned her head to look at the cabin door.
Starscream was leaning against the door, holding an old and yellowed map between his fingers: "The nautical chart that every ship should have... I got it in advance yesterday, one step ahead of you."
Her eyes are as graceful as silk, and she glanced at Zhang Cuihua proudly: "Are you jealous? Little girl!"
Seeing her suddenly, Zhang Cuihua looked like a cat with furry fur, almost jumped up, and yelled through gritted teeth: "Red-spider-spider!"
All the novelists in the White Tower know that Zhang Cuihua and Starscream have been at odds!
On the stone tablet of the White Tower, both of them were ranked in the top ten.
Zhang Cuihua ranked eighth and Starscream ranked ninth.
As far as Starscream was concerned, the other party had steadily surpassed her in the rankings.
As far as Zhang Cuihua is concerned, the other party firmly overwhelms her in terms of height.
Obviously, both of them are very upset!
Meeting again in the story, the atmosphere between the two suddenly became tense.
But Yue Ze's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the person beside Starscream: "...Are you here?"
With a smile in his eyes, Shen Yu slowly walked out from behind Starscream: "I'm here."
"I'm here to find you."
The corners of Yue Ze's mouth curled up unconsciously, but he said: "You are a bit adventurous."
Shen Yu: "It's worth it."
The other three: "..."
Zhang Cuihua: "Tsk!"
Starscream: "Tsk tsk!"
Good night: "Tut tsk tsk!"
The few people watching from the side suddenly felt a little sour!
Ignoring the three people whose teeth were sour, Yue Ze stepped forward and politely took the nautical chart from Starscream's hand: "We need to find out where the reefs are located in the chart."
"The vortex among the strange rocks, there is a high probability that Jack's lover is buried."
"His lover was killed, so he doesn't have the same heart with the other crew members on the ship. This is a very important clue."
Shen Yu also came up and added: "We saw water ghosts just now. These things are covered in human skin and hide among the crowd."
"The story requires us to choose a side. If someone chooses to join those luxurious 'noble people', it may mean that these people have become a 'water ghost' in human skin in essence."
"Treading on the bones of the bottom, maintaining a sense of superiority, and having fun at the top. It's like the discrimination of white people against people of color, and the discrimination of the upper class against the lower class."
"This ship just embodies this kind of discrimination and oppression."
After the two of them met again, they hardly spoke a few words, but as if they had a tacit understanding, they naturally began to analyze the situation in front of them.
Among them, Goodnight, the youngest, grabbed the life-saving tools in the cockpit and asked curiously, "Why are these things piled up here?"
Yue Ze glanced at him, and frowned slightly: "He is..."
"His pseudonym is Good Night, and he just happened to act with us this time, and he has been actively following behind me." Shen Yu explained.
"Brother Sugar!"
Goodnight shouted enthusiastically: "Your friends look amazing too!"
Looking at the young man who looked like a little golden hair circling Shen Yu, Yue Ze's brows unconsciously frowned deeper.
But Zhang Cuihua and Starscream were still confronting each other like no one else was there.
"Long time no see, the kid still hasn't grown taller?" Starscream covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes rolled around, looking up and down Zhang Cuihua's short body.
Not to be outdone, Zhang Cuihua retorted: "It's like someone's ranking, and it's also not going up, ten thousand years old nine!"
"Always only pay attention to the ranking. She is really just a little girl, just like a primary school student who cares about her grades."
"Hey, it's better than a ranking that someone can't show. Haven't you been squeezed out of the top ten?"
The two confronted each other tit-for-tat, fighting with each other, and you came and went. After a few rounds, neither of them took advantage of the verbal advantage.
In the end, the two had no choice but to snort coldly, and turned their heads away from each other.
Under the dim sight, Yue Ze had already adjusted the direction of the cruise ship according to the position on the chart.
"You know how to sail a boat?" Shen Yu asked curiously.
"I understand a little bit." Yue Ze said, "According to this sailing speed, maybe after dawn, this cruise ship will be able to reach the nearby reef and shallows."
"The living environment of the lower cabin is very harsh, and the safety of the upper cabin is not optimistic. We need to end this story as soon as possible..."
Before he finished speaking, the cabin suddenly trembled violently.
Yue Ze stopped his voice and looked at each other with Shen Yu.
Under their feet, in the lower cabin, there was continuous sound of deep water one after another.
As if thinking of something, Yue Ze's eyes trembled suddenly.
Mate Jack!
Just now he mentioned Jack's long-dead low-level lover. Maybe the other party was stimulated again, and now he has become the only variable on this ship.
But what did Jack do in the lower cabin
Soon, the exclamation outside the cab answered his doubts.
"... Water, it's leaking! The cabin is leaking, it's sinking—"
"Shipworms! Shipworms are everywhere!!"
Noisy yelling, scolding, and chaotic footsteps were intertwined, clearly coming from the cabin on the bottom floor.
The faces of the people in the cab suddenly changed.
…
At this moment, in the cabin on the bottom floor, which had already been a mess, everyone huddled together in panic, looking at a white man full of decadence in horror.
First officer Jack's uniform had already been taken off. He was tall and gloomy, kicking over the iron barrels in the cabin one by one.
The iron bucket contained all the shipworms that had been cleaned up in the past two days.
The hungry shipworms were dumped on the ground, and immediately began to frantically gnaw on the wooden planks at the bottom of the ship.
The surrounding water leaks became more and more serious.
"It should have sunk long ago..."
Jack opened his arms, took a deep breath of the dirty and filthy air at the bottom, and said with a face full of intoxication: "This criminal ship, and the criminals on board."
"Noble white angel, sinful white angel!"
