Whispering Verse

Chapter 323: dark sea

In the terrible darkness, Shad faintly heard the singing accompanied by the waves.

And when he woke up again, everything around him seemed to be shaking. The raindrops falling from the sky hit his back, and the biting wind made him tremble uncontrollably.

"Oh~"

The headache hadn't subsided yet, and the simple act of opening his eyes made him feel throbbing pain in his temples.

He turned over and sat up, took off his mask and breathed heavily. Looking around, he was on the dirty deck of an old ship, and everything around him was dilapidated.

Looking up, the terrifying and breathtaking black vortex actually hangs upside down in the sky above the head. The primitive fear at that moment almost made Xia De cry out.

Looking around, there is no doubt that this place is still the sea. The ship was floating on the rough sea, and the sea was surrounded by thunderstorms in all directions. The deep darkness seems to be swallowed from afar, and the sound of huge waves makes one's heart tremble uncontrollably. Because there is no light, the sea surface presents a kind of thick black, and under this black sea surface, there seems to be a larger and darker terrifying thing swimming, Xia De just glanced at it and immediately retracted his sight.

If you are a timid person, you will probably faint from fright when you see this scene around you. And even though the outsider had seen many things in this world, he still couldn't completely control his panic at this moment. This is the most primitive human fear of the deep sea and darkness, not to mention the whispering elements in space, trying to erode the soul all the time

"are you still there?"

[I am always with you. 】

When the familiar voice sounded, Xia De suddenly felt relieved. It was just that Miss Princes could not be seen on the dim shabby deck, and neither could anyone else.

"But why did you encounter this kind of thing just after you went out?"

[To put it simply, the power on this ship is very similar to the curse on the girl with red hair but dyed blond hair. 】

"Is this ship attracted by the [Mermaid Song] curse on Miss Prince?"

Thinking of this, Xia De frowned in the rain, looking around, the dilapidated ship was shaking, as if lost in the dark and terrifying sea, and Xia De was the only living person on board.

【No, she's not that important. The curse only resonated with the pirate ship of the same origin, which made her feel something. 】

"So, the mermaid statue and this pirate ship are really different steps of the same ceremony, and we happened to bump into this ship...how could there be such a coincidence..."

Xia De barely maintained his balance, recalled Miss Prince's last words, looked over the rain curtain, and looked at the entrance of the cabin.

He stretched out his hand to check the things he was carrying with him, and made sure that nothing was lost. Then, because of the violent shaking of the deck, he staggered and almost fell down again.

"Speaking of which, since there is no light source around, how can I see the deck clearly?"

Thinking of this, he lowered his head to look at his wrinkled hands that were soaked in blisters, just like when the [Box of Darkness] lost control, it was Shad himself that was shining. The brilliance of the silver moon emanated from the surface of his body and was not bright, but at least it prevented him from being completely swallowed by the darkness.

He reached out and wiped the rainwater off his face, not daring to observe the terrifying sea above his head or around the ship:

"Aside from whispering elements, are there other abnormal things nearby?"

[Not yet, but this ship is trying to assimilate you and keep you here permanently. 】

"I don't feel it."

The dense rain hit the skin, and he couldn't stay in the rain for too long.

[Trying to assimilate any creature with divinity is the most stupid act, you can't feel it because it doesn't work. 】

"clear."

He clenched his fist, because his body was not in good condition because of the hypothermia. Miss Prince said that she couldn't leave the ship, and Xia De didn't have the guts to throw himself into the sea in such a weird sea, so it's better to find a place that can shelter from the rain first.

The swaying ship made a creaking sound, as if it would fall apart in the next moment. Sniffing the smell of the ocean, Shad stumbled towards the entrance of the cabin on the deck. He didn't intend to create too much light in this weird environment, so he just used the little light from his fingertips to illuminate the surroundings.

The dilapidated deck was being hit by dense raindrops, and wooden boxes and some goods were piled up in the corner. Occasionally, you can see black stains that even the rain can't wash away, and [Echo of Blood] told Xia De that most of them are blood stains.

There were no living people on board, but there were quite a few corpses, and those corpses had already turned into bones, sliding on the deck due to the tilt of the ship. Xia De was very worried that the skeleton in it would get up suddenly, but until he touched the rusted iron door leading to the cabin, he was still the only one moving on the boat.

The iron gate seemed to have been hit hard from the inside in the long past. The deformed door was stuck in the door frame, and it couldn't be pushed no matter how hard it was. Xia De could only call out the big silver sword, slashed a few times, and broke the iron gate.

The sound of metal falling to the ground was covered by the sound of violent rain and thunder, as if the black entrance that could **** souls was opened, and a strong stench gushed out from the cabin.

But at least the boat wasn't leaking, and the interior of the cabin was fairly dry. The ship probably belonged to the Fifth Age, and had no steam power system, so it couldn't rely on the pipes in the walls to find those important rooms.

Stepping on the creaking floorboards into the cabin, and momentarily letting the sword disappear from his hand, Shad bent to light the sunken door panel on the moldy floor with his fingers. The original inward side of the door panel not only had traces of being hit by a huge force, but also dozens of sharp scratches. The observation of [Blood Echo] showed that there were traces of blood in the scratches, indicating that it was most likely traces of a forcible grab with hands.

"What the **** happened here..."

Startled in his heart, he suddenly raised his head and looked forward. The silver radiance illuminated the floor in front of it, and on the dilapidated floor covered with disgusting moss and dust, ash rose suddenly, and then the rotting figure made of ashes rushed straight over.

"It's not a hallucination, is this an undead?"

The moonlight in his hand chopped forward, and after splitting the undead made of ashes, he flew straight along the cabin to a place farther away. It was also through this light that Xia De saw that except for the area near the exit, the entire corridor of the cabin seemed to be covered with jet-black blood.

Human skeletons and remains were strewn about, while doors to rooms around the cabin were blocked with worn and damaged furniture and bones. The scene in front of him seemed to indicate that in the long past, there was a horrific massacre inside the cabin.

The feeling of headache became more and more intense, and the ship itself was affecting the spirit of the entrant, which was also one of the characteristics of high-risk relics.

If you want to move forward, go inside the ship to search for more clues. But at this time, there was a slight noise around him. Xia De immediately looked to the left. With the faint light of his fingers, he could vaguely see the photo frame behind the thick wall creep, and the sound came from the photo frame.

He frowned, and carefully peeled off the disgusting creep blanket with the pen he carried with him, revealing the photo frame body that contained dozens of black and white photos of different sizes.

"It turns out that photography technology also appeared in the Fifth Epoch..."

Most of the photos in the frame were faded so badly that only scenes from life on the ship could be vaguely identified. But only the one-person portrait in the center seems to have not been washed by time. The man with short hair and high nose bridge is looking at Xia De from the photo.

The calm expression frozen in the years slowly changed with Xia De's observation. On the slightly faded face, the corners of the mouth curled up little by little, until the grin became an angle that normal people could never do. The eyeballs that were originally motionless suddenly turned at this moment, and the look of intelligent creatures in the dull eyes recovered, and those eyes really looked at Xia De:

"Intruder!"

Amidst the piercing roar, that face was covered with thick black mist, and it turned into a piercing skeleton and rushed out of the photo.

"Silver Moon."

The ultimate light erupted from the fingers for a moment, and the light even made the ship itself vibrate. When the light went out in the next second, Xia De's fist smashed the glass of the photo frame, regardless of the punctured palm, he grabbed the haunted old photo.

When he withdrew his hand, the old photos flew out of his hand. It slid up against the yellow-green mold on the wall, as if trying to find the seam of the wall to leave. But when the photo flew to the height of Xia De's chest, the luminous holy silver sword pierced over. After piercing through the fragile photo, he directly punctured the photo and nailed it to the wall~lightnovelpub.net~Moonlight Great Sword The wall was illuminated, and the green creep quickly exited the range illuminated by the sword like a living thing, and thick black smoke, like a fire, kept coming out where the blade touched the photo. A sharp cry came from the photo, and the distorted and deformed sound made Xia De, who was already suffering from a headache, even more upset, but he ignored it.

"I surrender!"

Finally, a voice came from inside the photo. Like the "intruder" just now, it actually used a contemporary language.

Xia De waited for a few seconds before grabbing the photo with his left hand and pulling out the big sword with his right hand. At this time, a black hole appeared in the center of the photo, and the man wearing the blindfold squeezed to the side of the photo so that he could appear in the photo. He raised his hands in the photo.

"If you dare to run, you won't have a chance next time."

Xia De said, pinching the photo with his left hand hard. I was worried that the other party would not understand what I said, but fortunately the person in the photo understood:

"How is it possible? How can you still maintain a clear consciousness here?"

The voice was hoarse and weird, and at the same time, the images in the photo were constantly flashing, most of the time it was the image of a man, but for a few moments, it was clearly a monster with mixed features of a fish face and a human face.
