Chapter 234 Island (XVI)
That was the boat that Gui and Qin Ning were on.
Qiao Yuan had previously guessed that there were important clues on the ship, but they were hidden by the ghost. And obviously, only the ghost knew the hiding place, and the ghost had to hand it over voluntarily.
Fortunately, this ghost was sensible. Before the food was almost gone, Qiao Yuan heard the ghost disguised as Huo Ling offer to look for it in other places. She realized that the other party seemed to be finally ready to help them complete the task.
This time the ghost learned his lesson and did not place the boat directly in front of them, but arranged it carefully.
First, the group of seabirds appeared, and after a pretend attack, they quickly led them to another place.
Qiao Yuan pretended not to know and followed the seabird's instructions, and then saw something exposed on the ground. Although it was only a corner, the people present still recognized what it was.
Fearing that others might have missed it, the ghost said first: "The boat is actually here..."
"It looks like a ghost hid it, no wonder we didn't find it before."
Of course, it was the ship that was deliberately buried here yesterday. After all, if these people were asked to find the real place where it was stored, they would probably have to wait until their next life to find it.
If these people hadn't been so wary, it would have wanted to carry the two boats directly in front of the house.
Cheng Mengting: "But..."
Although he didn't know what Cheng Mengting was doing, he didn't want others to pay attention to her. He realized the problem, so he pretended not to hear and said quickly: "Let's dig the boat out quickly."
However, Cheng Mengting was not the type to stop talking after being interrupted, so she stubbornly finished what she wanted to say: "But it's really a bit strange."
ghost:?
Cheng Mengting frowned slightly, as if thinking: "Miss Qiao mentioned the boat yesterday, and we found it today. Could it be that the ghost did it on purpose ?"
The ghost was startled.
After all, Cheng Mengting didn't seem very sharp before, but why did she suddenly become smart this time, and even almost guessed the truth by rounding off...
Although it knew that Cheng Mengting must be imagining things, it didn't expect that it would hit the mark unexpectedly . It glanced at Qiao Yuan from the corner of its eye, but the other party didn't say anything, and it didn't know whether he was inspired by Cheng Mengting's words.
The ghost's brain was working rapidly, and fortunately an answer soon came to his mind, and he blurted out: "I don't think a ghost would think of this."
"And Miss Qiao didn't raise any questions. I think it would be better for us to listen to Miss Qiao's opinions..."
The ghost's words drew Cheng Mengting's attention to Qiao Yuan.
Cheng Mengting turned her head to look over, and Qiao Yuan looked down at the boat: "What you think is very likely."
"But let's dig it out and take a look first."
After hearing what Qiao Yuan said, Cheng Mengting temporarily put aside her doubts and became busy.
The ghost also took time into consideration, so he didn't bury him very deep.
Before it got dark, several people and one ghost finally dug out the two boats.
Qiao Yuan asked Sheng Yegui and Song Yanchi to turn over the two boats, and then looked at the bottom of the boat.
One of the ships had strange patterns carved on it, like extending vines that surrounded the entire bottom of the ship.
There were words engraved on the bottom of the other ship, but the words were blurry and difficult to recognize, perhaps because they were corroded by sea water.
Qiao Yuan looked at it for a long time and finally translated it completely -
According to the text above, they need to connect the two boats with a chain, put the bodies of the ghosts that have come ashore on the old boat, and they will sit on the new boat, and when the moonlight covers the sea, they will leave with the boat carrying the ghosts.
When the ship sails under the moon, the chain will be untied and the old ship will automatically become silent.
After listening to Qiao Yuan's words, Sheng Yegui asked in a gentle voice: "The moonlight covers the sea... It seems to mean at night."
Yu Guo at the side continued Sheng Yegui's words: "Yes, it seems to be much simpler than we thought."
Song Yanchi looked at Qin Ning and asked, "Which one is your boat?"
The two boats were not big and were exactly the same. When placed together, even after looking at them from beginning to end, Qin Ning was unable to recognize which boat was hers for a moment.
Just when the ghost couldn't help but want to remind him, Qiao Yuan judged based on the new and old, that the new boat was Qin Ning's, and the old boat was the ghost's, which made the ghost feel relieved.
Fortunately, Qiao Yuan is among this group of people...
Wait, why would it have such a strange idea? If it weren't for Qiao Yuan, it wouldn't have fallen to this point!
With this thought in mind, the genius finally came back to his senses with difficulty.
Fortunately, we can send this group of people away by just performing one last scene.
In order to avoid any further trouble, the ghost took the initiative to say, "All we need now is to find the ghost's body. Once we find the ghost, we will quickly send it away."
The ghost disguised as Huo Ling was so impatient that he naturally caught the attention of the audience in Qiao Yuan's live broadcast room.
[It seems like the ghost is in a hurry]
[After all, if we don’t hurry up, it might get eaten.]
[So this ship was also placed here by the ghost, so that the player can find it and send it away quickly]
[That's not right. This sending away shouldn't be a simple sending away, but it should be turned back into a corpse. How can it be willing to do that and take the initiative to deliver the handle to the door?]
[Did you do anything?]
[I think it is very likely]
It was even easier for the players to find the ghost. The ghost first got rid of Huo Ling's identity, and then pretended to be caught by the players. Although the ghost seemed to be in a coma and did not run away after being caught, for the sake of safety, several people deliberately used a stronger rope to prevent the ghost from escaping. Song Yanchi and others never took their vigilant eyes away from the ghost.
However, in the ghost's view, this was obviously useless. After all, it no longer wanted to escape, and the rope could not tie it up. But it still allowed these people to tie it up, just wanting to end this farce quickly.
Because so much time had passed since the death, the ghost's real body was severely decayed, like a pile of rotten flesh in the shape of a human.
Qin Ning and Cheng Mengting only took a glance and then quickly looked away, as if they were afraid of having a nightmare at night.
This time, there was no need for a ghost to mingle among the crowd to liven up the atmosphere. Yu Guo at the side had already taken the initiative to speak up and said, "Although I really want to taste the flavor of a ghost, the mission is more important."
"Let's send the ghost away tonight."
It was rare for Song Yanchi to agree with Yu Guo's words.
The chain connecting the two boats was not difficult to find, and soon several people found the chain in the room.
Several people quickly brought the boat to the shore, connected the two boats together, and then put the ghost on the old boat.
After slowly pushing both boats into the sea, Qiao Yuan and others boarded the new boat.
Although the boat was not big, it still managed to fit a few people.
As the moon rose higher and higher, the moonlight fell on the sea like a layer of silver frost.
As the boat was about to leave the shore, Cheng Mengting turned around and glanced at the island. Although she was a little sad about Huo Ling's death today, after all, she had spent quite a while with him in the past few days, but she was soon overwhelmed by the joy of leaving the island.
Great, they are almost done with their mission...
Perhaps because they had mastered the correct way to leave the island, they did not hear any sound of the system blocking them and did not encounter any difficulties .
At the beginning, it took several people to row the boats, but after leaving the shore, the surging waves were like invisible hands, carrying the two boats towards the center of the sea, and the few people only needed to occasionally keep the boats balanced.
After a while, they arrived at a place where they could see the moon by looking up, which is the so-called under the moon.
"Okay, this is it." Yu Guo looked up at the moon and then reminded: "Put the chain away."
Cheng Mengting felt very relaxed when she left the shore, but she couldn't help but get nervous after hearing Yu Guo's words. After all, this was the last step, and she was naturally a little worried about sudden changes.
Although he closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious, the ghost could still hear the noise coming from the boat nearby.
It heard Cheng Mengting and Qin Ning cheering for finally leaving the island, and heard Yu Guo calling Sheng Yegui "boss" and reminding him not to forget the money. After getting Sheng Yegui's assurance, Yu Guo smiled happily, and asked Sheng Yegui whether he liked her to call him boss or brother-in-law, as if he had thought of something.
Yu Guo's words were like a flame falling into a pile of firecrackers, and Song Yanchi was that firecracker.
The other party asked with dissatisfaction whether Yu Guo charged information fee or change of statement fee, and then Sheng Yegui dissuaded him, which aroused his anger.
Until just now, the ghost's ears finally felt temporarily quiet.
The sound of chains rattling was heard, and it seemed that the players who were close to the chains were preparing to put away the chains.
Its mood calmed down and it struggled to control the upward curve of its lips.
Great, we are finally sending these people away.
Of course, it is sent to the station of death.
After all, it did do something tricky. In fact, it was not the old ship that sank, but the new ship. It changed the old and new in the text. In fact, these people should put it on the new ship and leave on the old ship.
Because the changes were so small, even Qiao Yuan didn't notice.
If nothing unexpected happens, these people should all die.
The ghost quietly waited for the chain to be untied and the two ships to separate so that he could open his eyes.
Just the next second, it felt the entire ship sink.
ghost:???
It suddenly opened its eyes and met the faces of other people.
Although the ghost's heart had stopped beating, at this moment he felt a "click" for the first time in a long time.
Wait, why are these people here?!
But before it could ask, it heard Qiao Yuan's voice: "Throw it over."
Although he didn't know what was going on, when the ghost's eyes fell on Qiao Yuan's unsurprised expression, he realized that he had been fooled.
From the moment he saw the words on the bottom of the ship, Qiao Yuan realized that the "new" and "old" in the new ship and the old ship seemed to have been swapped.
She soon realized that the ghost had deliberately swapped the two words, but she did not say anything and pretended to be deceived.
After all, if the ghosts had discovered it, they would have known about it long ago and would not have been waiting so obediently on the boat like they are now.
It was not until they reached the destination that Qiao Yuan turned to look at Song Yanchi and the others, silently describing with his lips how to jump onto the old boat in a moment.
Although they didn't know why, Song Yanchi and others had always obeyed Qiao Yuan's orders, and these days, Cheng Mengting and Qin Ning also subconsciously listened to Qiao Yuan's words.
