The icy seawater soaking, the surrounding currents sweeping, as if terrifying hands are pulling at your body, trying to drag you into the abyss, or perhaps even before falling into the abyss, your body has already been torn to shreds by this dreadful turbulence.
Yang Jian, falling into the sea, felt an indescribable helplessness.
Because he felt that he wasnât just falling into the sea, but rather into an incomprehensible supernatural realm, a feeling somewhat akin to the first time entering Ghost Lake.
His own supernatural power was greatly affected, the ghost eye had just opened one moment, then in the next instant, the cold seawater rushed over, causing the ghost eye to quickly close again. Even more outrageous was the feeling of his Ghost Shadow being washed away by the currents, seemingly detaching from his body and drifting away, a sensation growing stronger by the moment.
If this continued, Yang Jian had no doubt that the fierce ghost he controlled would separate from his body.
Fortunately, this eerie sea wouldnât drown people like Ghost Lake would. Yang Jian tried to struggle and swim and surprisingly succeeded, managing to emerge from the water surface.
No time to be happy.
Yang Jian immediately saw a huge, deathly silent ship heading towards his direction. If he couldnât dodge in time, he suspected he would be crushed alive by that gigantic Ghost Ship.
âI must find a way to get on the ship.â
This thought instinctively flashed through his mind.
A certain intuition told Yang Jian that if he didnât get on the ship immediately, if he missed this chance, he would never be able to board the ship, nor return to reality alive.
âYe Zhen, where are you? Are you dead? If not, shout out.â Yang Jian shouted at the moment, his voice echoing around him.
âI, Ye Zhen, am fine.â
Ye Zhenâs voice rang out, at this moment grasping a rope hanging down from the ship with one hand, his body suspended in mid-air like someone without a care in the world.
âWerenât you the one who fell into the water just now? How are you over there?â Yang Jian stared at him, doubting whether he was seeing things incorrectly.
âJust a tiny setback, I quickly adjusted myself and easily overcame the difficulty, Iâm almost ready to board the ship now. But why are you in such a sorry state? Iâm starting to doubt your actual strength.â Ye Zhen said.
Yang Jian: ââŠâ
He felt that Ye Zhen was purely lucky, grabbing onto this rope dangling from the ship after falling into the sea, otherwise his fate might be worse than his own, likely being swept to an unknown place by the sea, making it hard to board.
However, thinking was one thing, Yang Jian didnât hesitate and immediately swam towards the drooping rope.
Swimming in this icy seawater wasnât difficult, but every rush of the water made Yang Jian feel extremely uncomfortable, with the supernatural power in his body seemingly detaching.
Luckily, this feeling didnât last long.
Yang Jian grabbed onto the hanging rope with one hand, then exerted his arm, lifting his body out of the water and suspending himself on the Ghost Ship.
âWell done. Letâs board the ship together. I want to see whatâs so peculiar about this so-called Ghost Ship that makes everyone so apprehensive. If possible, Iâll make this Ghost Ship sink to the bottom of the sea today, ensuring it never appears in this world again. Without the Ghost Ship, thereâs no need for this war to continue.â Ye Zhen said.
At this moment, he was eager to try, wanting to sink this ship and single-handedly end this war.
Yang Jian said: âDonât be overconfident. Thereâs extremely terrifying supernatural occurrences on this Ghost Ship. If youâre not careful, youâll perish on it. First, we need to ensure we survive on this Ghost Ship, then wait for it to reappear in reality, and only then make our escape.â
After speaking, he looked around.
At this moment, the surroundings had undergone drastic changes. Nearby was no longer an ocean, nor was there any sight of a coastal city. Instead, there was a world of darkness.
The Ghost Ship emitted a faint glow, sailing through this dark world without direction or purpose.
Ye Zhen and Yang Jian took this opportunity to quickly climb up the Ghost Ship along the rope.
Soon, with a neat flip, the two landed on the deck smoothly and unscathed.
The spacious deck was empty, with no one in sight except Ye Zhen and Yang Jian. But what caught their attention the most was the rope they had just held, the end of which was carelessly tossed on the deck, not tied to the ship nor weighed down by anything.
This was very unusual.
The weight of the two should have pulled the rope down, yet during the process of boarding, they clearly felt the other end of the rope was very firm, without the slightest slack.
However, considering this was a Ghost Ship, Yang Jian didnât dwell on this detail, just briefly noted it before focusing elsewhere.
âThis Ghost Ship is pretty ordinary, nothing scary about it,â Ye Zhen said casually, with one hand resting on the long sword at his waist.
Yang Jian didnât speak, but held his red spear and watched the surroundings vigilantly. His Ghost Eye tried to open, to spy on everything nearby, but he found that less than ten seconds after opening, the eyelid felt very heavy and slowly closed again. In the end, it fell asleep completely, and only after a minute or two did the Ghost Eye wake up again. But even after waking, it was still the same as before, opening for less than ten seconds before slowly closing once more.
He realized that on this Ghost Ship, supernatural power could be used, but it was only effective for a brief period. The Ghost Eye could last only ten seconds, with just the first few seconds maintaining a normal supernatural state. Over the next six to seven seconds, the power of the Ghost Eye rapidly weakened until it completely disappeared, and then it lay dormant for about two minutes before it could be used again.
However, this was only the situation on the deck; it might be different in other parts of the Ghost Ship.
âOur supernatural abilities on this ship will fall into slumber; if we are attacked by the ghost on this ship under such circumstances we might really die here, even if you have a Scapegoat Ghost it might be useless,â Yang Jian said.
âAn expert wonât make a mistake, you lack confidence,â Ye Zhen replied, still full of confidence.
Yang Jian continued, âWe have no idea about the situation on the Ghost Ship. I suggest we find a relatively safe place to stay for now and avoid wandering around. According to intelligence, this Ghost Ship is fully loaded with ghosts, and each one is very terrifying. If we encounter them, it would be extremely dangerous, and this time we are just here to gather intelligence, not to confront the Ghost Ship.â
âThatâs not correct; since weâre here, if we do nothing and leave, weâll have nothing to say if others ask us. Isnât that too embarrassing? I think itâs necessary to walk around inside the ship; maybe I can find a way to sail this ship back to the King Organization,â Ye Zhen said, always full of mysterious confidence.
âYou come along too, Yang Wudi; if we join forces, this small Ghost Ship is no problem at all.â
Although he was confident, he wasnât stupid, not forgetting to invite Yang Jian at this moment.
If even the two of them couldnât survive on this Ghost Ship, then the Ark Plan would be impossible to stop, and many things would be meaningless.
âThereâs no point in risking on the Ghost Ship,â Yang Jian refused Ye Zhenâs proposal.
âWhat a pity; if thatâs the case, then Iâll have to act alone,â Ye Zhen sighed, not giving up on the idea of exploring the Ghost Ship.
Seeing his determination, Yang Jian reluctantly said, âIf youâre set on this, then I can only choose to go with you; if we separate, our ability to handle danger will greatly decrease, and this isnât conducive to survival.â
âHaha, Iâm glad you think that way; thatâs how it should be! With us working together, thereâs no danger in this world,â Ye Zhen laughed heartily.
Yang Jian didnât speak; he even regretted his previous decision a bit now.
But since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to brace himself and move forward.
âIf thereâs a way to control the Ghost Ship, it would most likely be in the control room, so the first place we need to go is the shipâs control room,â Yang Jian said.
âThen what are we waiting for? Letâs head out now,â Ye Zhen was excited, eager to start.
Yang Jian looked around, identifying the direction: âWeâre on the bow deck now, the control room shouldnât be far from us, following the normal structure of ships, the control room should be there.â
As he spoke, he pointed towards a row of windows on the second floor of the Ghost Ship.
However, those windows were already damaged, inside was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
âThereâs a staircase over there; letâs go that way,â Yang Jian chose another route.
Seeing this, Ye Zhen nodded and immediately walked forward with big steps.
Yang Jian followed quickly without speaking.
The surroundings were dark, but in several places on the Ghost Ship, there were still a few dim lights, bringing some brightness to the environment so the two of them wouldnât lose their way as they walked.
Walking over the deck, everything was calm; they didnât encounter any dangers.
Soon.
They reached the rusty staircase.
The staircase wasnât stable; walking on it gave a shaky feeling as if it might collapse at any moment, causing unease.
Yet, just as they set foot on the stairs, they suddenly heard strange singing coming from the deck they had just passed.
âHmm?â
Yang Jianâs expression changed, quickly turning around to look.
Upon turning, the singing abruptly stopped, and behind them was empty, nothing there.
