Chapter 36 third quarter

We were doomed to spend the night in fear and bewilderment, and no sooner had we emerged from the horrors left in us by the queer Fogman than we fell into shock again, frozen by the sight before us. Who would have imagined that a few minutes ago it was still foggy and the weather was so bad that we couldn't see the opposite side. When we stood on the deck again, it was already full of stars. Could it be that these fog men have absorbed all the fog just now? This idea is extremely absurd, don't say you won't believe it, even when I first came up with this idea, I immediately scolded myself for being ridiculously stupid. Know it's impossible.

But a strange scene is really unfolding in front of our eyes. There are dots of stars floating above our heads, and a bright moon hanging in the middle of the sky like a lantern. The twinkling stars and the sparkling sea complement each other. That beauty is unimaginable to anyone who has never seen it. But this beauty is so chilling, goosebumps all over, and now we have no time to admire this breathtakingly beautiful night scene, but to determine how many Arabs have boarded this ghost ship. You may not believe it when you say it, but I also don’t believe it at all. When I figured out the real situation I was facing, I was completely stunned and didn’t react for a long time.Yes, not a single one, and not only was no one on board, but there was not even a single boat within sight of us.Our ship wandered quietly in the rippling sea, and as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but the dark water and countless bright spots that could not be distinguished from stars or waves.

Those Arabs are more like ghosts who come and go without a trace, appearing and disappearing suddenly.Those incomparably powerful cannons that I have personally felt are just like empty props in a weird dream. "Where is this place? Are we still on Earth?" Danny looked at the night sky and asked a question that sounded extremely ridiculous. "Not only are there no traces of those eyeing Arabs, even the small island we landed on is gone, and those weird... people I saw just now, where did they go?" Ningxue's voice was wooden. ask. "I don't believe it, I think I had a dream, a weird dream that can't be any weirder, I have to wake up!" Danny said, raised his arm and bit it hard, the pain made him cry out, "Oh! God, why does it hurt so much? It hurts so much even in a dream! Yi, tell me, what is going on?"

In fact, when I climbed onto the deck, I was also stunned. The scene in front of me and the scene ten minutes ago were completely two worlds: one was about to be blasted into a pile of meat at any time; the other was dead silent, as if All human beings on the earth are dead, and there are only three of us alone, floating in the post-flood ocean, looking for the only paradise where life can inhabit. "We've hit a ghost!" Danny's spirit was obviously about to collapse from this series of strange events, his voice was full of doubts and irritation, "Are we in the real world, or are we already dead?"

"Didn't you try it just now? It's life or death, you should know better!" I shook my head helplessly. "You are still in the mood to joke, I really admire you!" Danny shouted, rolling his eyes. "Then what do you think I can do?" I asked back. "Aren't you an expert in this area? Haven't you encountered many such things? If I don't ask you, who else can I ask?" Danny issued a series of question marks angrily. I continued to tease Danny: "A master is not a god, besides, these things are not caused by me, I am not responsible!"

In fact, I have no fewer doubts than Danny, but in the face of problems that I cannot solve, I seldom roar like thunder, curse loudly, and making a few jokes is my way of solving them. An expression - if most orientals are like me. "Okay, okay!" Ningxue spoke first, preventing us from engaging in these unnecessary verbal disputes, "What's the use of arguing? We still have to think about what to do next, I think this ship can't stay anymore , I don’t know if my feeling is right, I feel that the danger is getting closer and closer to us!” Danny nodded in agreement: "Yes, we should really get out of this ghost ship as soon as possible, but where can we go? Who can swim back to Miami on their own strength... It's all your bad idea, now we It’s impossible to even ask for help from the outside world.”

This really blames me for being ill-considered. Before making this plan, I only thought of normal factors, but I ignored a crucial issue-in the sea area of ​​the Devil's Triangle, abnormal factors often play a greater role than normal factors. role.But it's too late to regret it now, and besides, I don't regret it: "The main problem now is to determine where we are now, so that we can decide what to do next?" Danny looked up at the star-studded night sky: "Yi, isn't your Chinese astrology very developed? Can you judge our coordinates based on the position of the stars in the sky?"

"Navigation and astrology is a subject that involves a lot of knowledge, I don't know it." I shook my head and said, "From our experience just now, the problem probably lies on that unnamed island. There are indeed some very Special places, when people pass through these places, they will be teleported to other places, even thousands of miles away, I think we are very unfortunate to encounter such a place." "Look, they're back again!" Ningxue pointed at the shadow that crawled out of the cabin not far away and approached me. It was still those fog people, they didn't disappear, they just went down to the bottom of the cabin, and after a while, these figures formed by the condensed fog gathered on the deck again.

They quickly formed a circular circle on the deck, with a man standing in the center of the circle. This circle is very round, as regular as someone drew it with a compasses. The figure standing in the middle is not in the center of the circle, but leaning slightly to one side.He stretched out his arms, palms up, and looked up to the sky. The other people in the circle held hands and began to rotate around the middle man. The middle man kept his body posture unchanged and kept spinning at the same pace as the others. In fact, he was also Going in circles, only much smaller circles. After going back and forth for five or six minutes, the people in the circle bent down, knelt on one knee, and looked up at the sky as well.

Since their faces have only one outline, it is impossible to tell which direction their eyes are looking at the top of their heads, but it is obvious that what they are looking at should be one of the countless stars in the sky. In the distant ancient times, no matter the Chinese, the Mayans, or the Egyptians, these ancient peoples knew long ago that the arrangement and movement of the stars in the sky would have a close impact on life on earth, which is the origin of astrology.Predict the future through changes in the astrology, get some kind of indication, and provide enlightenment for the ruler's governance.Some people even believe that with the help of the power of the stars, human beings can gain powerful power. Of course, this is ridiculous in the eyes of the scientific community, but there were not a few people who believed in it in ancient times. Even in modern times, there are still many people who firmly believe in it Unswerving.

I think these fog people are performing a kind of ceremony, a kind of ceremony that can use the power of the stars to obtain some kind of power, just like what ancient wizards did in sacred activities such as sacrifices.It's just that what confuses me is, what are these fog people doing? At this time, a sea breeze blew gently, and the circle of fog people was actually blown by the sea breeze. The gathered white mist gradually dissipated among the mist, and it took less than a minute. They disappeared without a trace.
