Chapter 181, Innocent

(the second update of the series.)

Since ancient times, sailors have been the most superstitious profession. Whether they are ordinary fishermen, ferrymen, merchant sailors, or even trained navies, they are taboo about all kinds of maritime superstition. They will avoid every superstitious taboo like the plague, and one accidentally falls on the sail. Some kind of seabird on the pole, a word that should not be said, and a person who should not be taken to the boat will cause their strong reaction, resistance and fear.

Because driving on the vast sea, you may not see land for several months, and the weather on the sea is unpredictable, any slightly extreme weather may cause the whole ship to be swallowed up by the sea.

Therefore, out of the awe of the sea and a comforting explanation for the unpredictable sea weather, all kinds of superstitions and taboos appeared. These legends became more and more bizarre, and all kinds of sea demons were imagined, and every sailor was deeply concerned about it. No doubt about it.

For example, in ancient times, women could not board the boat, especially ocean voyages, because sailors firmly believed that women would bring storms. If there were special circumstances, women had to board the boat, but it was better not to really encounter storms, otherwise, angry sailors would desperately push women into the sea.

However, even a man, even a sailor and an old sailor on this ship cannot guarantee that he is absolutely safe in superstition legends. For example, if a sailor performs a certain job when sailing on the sea, such as on duty at night, steering, and looking out, it is very occasionally a few times in a row. When encountering strong winds and waves, storms, or pirates, he may also be regarded as cursed by other sailors and think that he will bring bad luck. Once this happens, he will be completely unlucky. From then on, all the bad things he encounter will be blamed on him, whether it is true or false. If he is lucky, he can still return to the port safely, and then find a psychic to help him relieve his bad luck. If he is unlucky, even if there is only a slight breeze in the next voyage, other sailors may push him into the sea like crazy!

Because no matter how valuable his life is, it can't be more valuable than the life of the whole ship!

In modern times, although all kinds of superstitious legends have really become legendary stories, the fear of the unknown sea imprinted in the professional memory of generations of sailors is still retained, and at some moments, it will still show its effect from time to time.

And what happened in front of us that could not be explained scientifically couldn't help but make everyone on the ship's hearts thump!

However, after all, the old captain is an experienced and calm. He quickly comforted the crew and said, "Maybe there is something wrong with the GPS and the ship's self-driving computer system. Maybe it's caused by some bastard playing games on the computer with a virus-infected game CD. Everyone went back to each other. Since my work, just let the ship continue to run normally. With my decades of experience in this route, I can drive the ship back to the port even without GPS navigation equipment!"

The seafarers had no choice but to follow the order and return to their respective positions.

The old captain finally came to care about Fan Kang's physical condition, but when he looked at Fan Kang's eyes, he was a little strange, with some uncertain suspicion.

Not long after, with the sound of three sirens, the ship sailed again. Fan Kang looked at the island that was gradually moving away, frowned deeply and said to himself, "Try it again, maybe... it's just a coincidence."

The next day, the development of things fully verified the old captain's words. All the performance of the ship was in the best state. Nothing strange happened again. The ship was moving at full speed towards the destination according to the prescribed route.

Soon, the depression and tension surrounding the whole ship eased a lot. Most people began to think that the scene that happened during the day was indeed just an accident or illusion caused by a computer failure.

Except for one person, Fan Kang.

Fan Kang returned to his room, still like yesterday, pretending to eat, pretending to sleep, pretending to do everything, and make himself look like a normal person, but only by looking carefully into his eyes can he see a deeply hidden solemnity.

It was late at night again. Fan Kang lay in ** and waited without closing his eyes all night.

When the sun rose again and shone into the golden sun from the small window above his head, suddenly, Fan Kang's eyes trembled slightly. Then, he slowly sat up from **, sighed gently, jumped to the door with one foot, opened the door, and clearly came a chaotic sound from outside. It's more messy than yesterday!

Fan Kang came back to the deck and saw that the ship stopped again, and the deck was full of people. Almost all the sailors of the ship came to the deck at this moment, staring at the north one by one.

Fan Kang also looked over and looked at the island that appeared on the sea.

The whole deck, except for the sound of sea breeze and waves, is silent, and everyone's face is full of inexplicable tension and fear.

There was also an old captain in the crowd. He could no longer say anything to comfort him, because out of caution, he sat in the cockpit all night and personally directed the ship's progress. He didn't know how to explain the extremely strange scene that happened at dawn. ,

Not long ago, in front of his eyes, like a momentary, representing the small red dot of the ship, on the screen of the GPS system, it suddenly moved from the front end of the forward trajectory to the position that stopped yesterday, which was exactly the same. Looking out of the glass, the The strange island also appeared in the north again, no different from yesterday.

It's really a ghost!

Soon, there was a burst of restlessness among the crew,

"We met a sea monster, and we definitely met a sea monster!"

"Not a sea monster! It may be some alien, such as the Bermuda Delta..."

"Whatever it is, we can't leave this damn place!"

"No! I want to go home! I still have a wife and children, I...!"

With that, more and more people began to look at Fan Kang, who was standing alone on the fence not far away, and silently looking at Fan Kang on the island.

"It must be him! It was he who brought bad luck...!"

"Yes, it was the ship he boarded at this time two days ago!"

"I have also begun to suspect him for a long time. How can a disabled person live alone at sea...!"

"And his scars all over his body, there must be something inside...!"

"It's him... Even if it's not him, he's sure...!"

At first, these people just whispered, and then they simply shouted loudly without scruples. There is only one theme, that is, such a strange thing, which must be the reason for Fan Kang!

The old captain saw that the situation was not good and reprimanded everyone, but at this time, the sailors had obviously lost their minds. They completely ignored the old captain's order and began to ask for Fan Kang to be driven off the ship!

What's more, he has taken out his pistol and aimed it at Fan Kang!

"You, get off the boat! If you don't, I will kill you!"

"What are you doing!" The old captain immediately stood between the gun and Fan Kang and shouted, "What do you want to do? Do you want to kill? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the law?!"

"Captain, please get out of the way. We don't want to hurt you, but we want to go home. As for the law... If we can't go home, what's the meaning of the law? My child has just been born for half a year, and I want to go home!"

"Yes, captain, I want to go home, and my mother is the only child...!"

"Put him off the boat! He was originally saved by us. If we don't go back, no one will know!"

"Yes!"

......!

"Shut up!" The old captain shouted again, "No one has the right to take other people's lives until things are clear!" We are not barbarians, we are...!"

"Dir the captain away!" As soon as the words fell, several sailors came up and couldn't help saying that they wanted to pull the old captain aside, but the old captain just disoed and was still struggling desperately.

Finally, those people lost their patience,

"Shut up! If you don't give way, we can only take you...!" With that, the sailor with the gun hit the old captain with the handle of the gun.

But at this time, suddenly, a hand grabbed his wrist!

Everyone present took a breath of cold air and couldn't help taking a few steps back!

It's Fan Kang. He has only one leg, but his speed is amazingly fast... He is simply not a human!

Fan Kang took down the gun, looked at the crowd coldly, and then rubbed it with both hands. * The gun was directly kneaded into a ball like a dough and threw it on the ground. Then he bent down and helped the old captain who was also dumbfounded.

But at this moment, the gunfire sounded!

Fan Kang was shot directly in the back, and blood gushed out!

It turns out that there is not only one gun!

Fan Kang slowly turned around and looked blankly at the frightened crowd, looking at the young man with a pistol in his trembling hand and his face full of ferocious tension and fear.

Fan Kang shook his head. He was not angry. Even if he killed all these people for two seconds, it may not take two seconds.

He turned around again, smiled gratefully at the old captain, and said "thank you."

Then, he jumped on one foot and jumped towards the fence. When he came to the edge of the deck, he stopped, looked ahead, and said calmly, "Lord, if you want me to go back, I will go back now. It has nothing to do with these people. You let them go, thank you."

With that, he jumped up and jumped towards the sea in the stunned eyes of the crowd!

With a plop, the sea swept in crazily, and there was a sound of water flowing in my ears, which seemed to be mixed with the old captain's screams!

"Alas..."

Suddenly, Fan Kang heard a sigh in his ear,

He was shocked that he was in the sea now. Who sighed in his ear?!

He suddenly turned around, but was stunned to find that he was actually... standing in a bush, not in the sea just now!

This is...?!

Fan Kang turned his head again, and what he saw in front of him shocked him!

Only outside the trees...

"Just... can you protect me? Oh, yes, and the sister next to him... Oh, and the soldier brother... Um, and the sister in the suit!"
