I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain

The cold wind blows the bleak cemetery.

A wooden tombstone wailed in the sound of the wind, without even a coffin, it was so simple that it was too simple. Standing in front of Pamir’s tomb, Tu Fu put his hands together to mourn the old man.

During this journey, he met countless people, generous, despicable, and calculating, and met too many great people.

An old man like Wei Wei who is so ordinary that he doesn't even have a story to tell,

Tu Fu is willing to erect a monument for him.

The only living person he saw left, and he couldn't tell how he felt.

A journey is like taking a train. People come and go along the way, but after all, you are the only one who can complete all the journeys.

Wrapping tightly a coat he picked up from the house, Tu Fu silently walked towards the island port.

Compared with the countless unknown corpses on this island, even if there were no monsters, they would have turned into ice sculptures because of the "hoarfrost" and were wrapped in transparent frost, just like amber containing insect specimens.

To be treasured forever like a work of art,

Even the fearful expressions of people facing this disaster are forever engraved in the ice sculptures.

Compared with the fate of almost all the people who died and exposed their bodies in the wilderness, the luck of Pamir is actually not bad.

At least the soul and the flesh have a home.

"Take care of yourself."

Tu Fu booed the heater on his palm. The matter was far more complicated than he imagined. The death of Mr. Pamir made him face up to this problem.

"'Hoarfrost' will erode one island after another, and its scope does not seem to be limited. In the end, it may turn a sea area, or even the entire world, into a world with only wind, frost, ice and snow."

At the Pirate Conference, the big pirates discussed this issue.

Such disasters have appeared since the beginning of this year. At the beginning, the scale of the frost disaster was extremely small, and it was not enough to pay attention to.

When someone really paid attention to it, there was no solution.

They can't even locate the source of the disaster,

The strange random teleportation function of the ghost ship allows the ship to reach any place, and it is easy to avoid the search of interested people.

It will carry terrible winds and frosts, destroying all creatures on the way to the island and under the sea.

Tu Fu has always been worried about this issue. If it is as he guessed, even if he sails the Santa Maria to the polar sea, it will not be able to stop the expansion of "Hoarfrost\

,"No matter how hard you try, it's just in vain.

Faced with this level of mysterious incident, Tu Fu now only feels a sense of suffocation,

With such a confused mood, I walked to the port on the island.

This is a not-so-big mooring area, and all the steamboats that can be used have been driven away.

There are signs of scrambling everywhere.

Looking around, the only thing that can be used on the sea is a slender old boat, which is drifting alone on the sea, and the only thing that can glide on the sea is two oars.

Taking such a wooden boat, it is impossible to cross the sea to find the next island anyway.

"It can only be you."

Tu Fu sighed and had no choice, he just felt that the atmosphere here was colder than the atmosphere just now.

Some parts of his body were already frozen, and he couldn't stay on the island for too long with his physique, let alone those ordinary people, if they didn't escape, they would die.

"Wow~"

A small boat floats on the surface of the sea, facing the cold wind and frost, drifting in the sea known as the violent sea.

At this moment, with the blessing of wind, snow and ice, even the two oars were almost frozen, and the boat drifted with the fierce waves.

It is so small that any big wind and wave may wash it down.

Anyone who sees the crazy scene of Tu Fu crossing the sea on a wooden boat will admire the courage of the passengers.

"Squeak——"

Tu Fu drove the canoe all the way, while distracted to see the direction of the "compass of the heart".

Compared with yesterday, there are slight changes, but the general direction is good.

"The Santa Maria is a big ship that moves all the time. It must have shifted overnight compared to yesterday's position, so the direction of the pointer will also change."

Thinking of this, Tu Fu swung his oars quickly without reservation, and surged up in the tide after wave after wave.

There are not only violent winds and waves, heavy frost and snow, but also thick white fog. The natural disasters are not a small test for the sailors' skills.

The white mist was like the never-removing fog that Tufu saw when he was on the boat, which blocked the vision very much.

One accident caused the boat to capsize and people died.

Fortunately, using the ability of eagle eyes to see a distance of tens of meters in radius, you can drive forward unimpeded here.

While moving forward, there was only a "plop", and a sharp-billed fish jumped out of the water.

The moment the fish appeared, the body of the fish condensed frost at a speed visible to the naked eye,

Then it fell down faster.

Even Tu Fu, who has always been well-informed, couldn't help clicking his tongue, and soon he discovered that there were fish and shrimps in the shallow sea or surfacing, or birds that inadvertently intruded.

They all end up in the same end, turning into a piece of ice sculpture art.

It seems that the closer to the core of the ghost ship, the greater the impact,

This also explains why Tu Fu always sees the sea creatures on the boat.

If he had been more patient and ventured out of the bottom of the boat, he would have seen many sea creatures frozen into ice.

"Arrived."

I don't know how long it has been.

Tu Fu finally saw an orange light in the mist, which was the stern light of the Santa Maria.

Tu Fu suppressed his excitement, and kept doing mechanical work with both arms.

Even though the oars were already covered with frost, even this small wooden boat was covered with frost due to the continuous swimming in the extremely cold region, which unknowingly made the hull heavier.

"Woo--"

Tu Fu only heard a strange whistle sound in the mist, which was the whistling of the ghost ship driving in the mist ahead.

It was shrouded in heavy fog and drifted aimlessly at sea for a year.

Finally, with my arrival, everything returned to the original place.

"Huh~"

Tu Fu stood up slowly, stood on the bow of the small wooden boat, and blew forward.

The cold air that came out of his mouth immediately condensed in the air, as if it was fixed.

Wait for the cold to subside.

What came into view was a super giant ship that was so huge that it could not be added, far surpassing the technology of this era.

Tu Fu stretched out his hand to push through the dense fog, and vaguely saw a line of handwriting that was already very blurred. He muttered in familiar and unfamiliar English,

"Santa Maria..."

As more features of Julun appeared in front of Tu Fu, the strong sense of strangeness made him frown.

Only the red rusted iron remained on the surface of the hull, with only a few traces of paint.

Rather than saying that this is a huge ship, it is better to say that it is 10,000 tons of scrap iron.

Because the passage of time has made it rusty, and it has been covered with algae since it has been left unattended for too long, the emerald green makes the Santa Maria look a little more alive.

It doesn't seem to be abandoned for a year, but it seems to have been drifting on the sea for dozens or hundreds of years to get back to this state, and now it has become a veritable ghost ship.

After being separated for such a long time, Tu Fu's brows were already twisted when he saw Ju Lun again.

"what happened?"

This was by no means the Santa Maria he had seen, even when he got off the ship yesterday, it was by no means what it looked like on board.

"Unless there's something big going on, or it's not the same boat."

The strangeness of the Santa Maria made Tu Fu silent. He pondered for a moment and then made a decision.

"Santa Maria..."

With the activation of the spell of the anchoring ceremony, the dense fog enveloped itself.

Tu Fu closed and opened his eyes, and quickly saw light again after experiencing darkness once.

Using such a unique method, he returned to the deck of the ghost ship again, looking at the same scenery as before.

Standing on the deck tens of meters high, he could still see the small canoe he was driving over.

This is enough to prove that it is indeed the Santa Maria.

But what came into view was a completely different scene from what he had just seen from the angle of view. There were rust spots but only a local area, and the blood-stained doors and windows were still stained with blood.

Although it is also rusty, it is by no means limited to that exaggerated appearance.

Everything on the ship was the same as when he first arrived.

After a brutal fight, a group of survivors left traces on the ship, blood everywhere.

The facilities inside the ship are still usable, and it doesn't look weird at all.

To say that the biggest difference is not rusty iron and algae plants, after Tu Fu boarded the boat, he did not feel the same cold as when he just took the small canoe.

The area on the deck has a constant temperature, and even if there is rain, it is just a normal drizzle, unlike the "hoarfrost" that can cover one island after another.

Until now, even he couldn't tell which side he saw was the truth.

"It's not right."

Tu Fu stared at it for a while before realizing in vain, since a year had passed.

This place is exactly the same as when I first came a year ago, and this is the biggest problem.

A ship that is always sailing, and how can it not change in the slightest if no one takes care of it.

"return."

After figuring this out, Tu Fu didn't hesitate any longer, and quickly started the return teleportation ceremony.

After a "shua", he returned to the small wooden boat just now.

The Santa Maria in front of me turned into a rusty, vine-grown huge cruise ship again, and seemed to be switching back and forth between the two forms.

"I see."

Tu Fu nodded indifferently, and a name suddenly appeared in his mind.

duality.

Or should I say ghost ship duality.

Just like the optical experiment, the observation with the naked eye is indeed a wave, but after adding detection equipment, the light becomes a particle.

The same reason.

As long as he passes on board, seeing nothing but the first sight,

And what's going on outside is unknown.

When he approached the ship again from the outside world, he could see its external form,

It is a real ghost ship that has experienced a century of wind and frost.

"Which one is true and which is false?"

Tu Fu stared blankly at the 10,000-ton giant ship in front of him, activated his teleportation ability without hesitation, and planned to enter the outside of the Santa Maria with a "swish".

Whether it is true or not, you will know once you try it.
