Chapter 2 Chapter 1: The Strange Story of the Sea of ​​Fog, International Attention

The United Nations stationed in Bangkok, the office of the Commissioner for Refugees, the equipment is not very luxurious, it can be called simple.The temperature outside was thirty-four degrees Celsius. Although several old air conditioners in the room were working hard, they could not cool down the temperature to a cool level, so the people inside were still sweating and dressed casually. The commissioner who succeeded Colonel Lane was also an officer who had served in the army. He was quite young, about thirty years old, with soft brown hair and a very friendly appearance, especially when he smiled without any intentions. Sometimes, you can still find a bit of childishness on his face.

Only at this time, sitting behind the desk, he was obviously troubled by something, and his brows were tightly frowned. His name was Fan Ximen, and he had the rank of major, but he didn't like being called by his rank while his lover called him Mr. Fan Ximen. What bothered Mr. Fan Ximen was that he heard again and again about the "Goddess of Salvation of the Sea" from the refugees from the Indochina Peninsula. Originally, it had nothing to do with him. He didn't really believe what the legend said, and it wouldn't bother him. The immediate cause of his troubles began last night when a good friend of his, Nelson Jr., suddenly visited his residence in Bangkok.

Nelson Jr. had a very close relationship with him. When Fan Ximen was an excellent commander, he already knew that Nelson Jr. was an excellent intelligence worker.After the two met at a military conference in Washington, they became good friends. After the Vietnam War, Fan Ximen joined the work of the United Nations refugee affairs. He was somewhat influenced by Nelson Jr.'s advice. Fan Ximen should be happy when Nelson Jr. came suddenly, so why bother him? The reason is because of a problem brought by Fan Ximen F: after the two people met and exchanged a few words, Xiao Na straightforwardly put forward his purpose of coming - this is Xiao Na's usual way of doing things: "How many people have you heard in total?" A legend about the 'Goddess of Salvation at Sea'?"

Fan Ximen was taken aback, how many times have you heard it?He couldn't say it all at once, in short, it had only been many times. Yes, the magical "Goddess of Salvation at Sea"! Whenever the refugee ship is in the vast sea, under the threat of pirate ships, under the subversion of the wind, when the food is exhausted and the water is exhausted, a beautiful goddess will appear, and she will use her extraordinary ability to save her life. Refugees in despair. This Goddess of Salvation came and went in a flash, never saying a word, just saving people!No matter how many times Fan Ximen has heard this kind of legend, he will never be convinced.

When Fan Ximen saw his good friend, an extremely shrewd and capable intelligence officer, suddenly asked him about the "Goddess of Salvation" in a serious manner, he was a little stunned on the one hand, and on the other hand, felt quite amused. He turned the wine glass and looked at a huge white orchid tree outside the window inadvertently. The tree was full of flowers, and it was exuding a strong fragrance that couldn't be melted: "I don't remember, I have heard it many times!" Xiao Na leaned closer - Fan Ximen always thought that his good friend had eyes like a falcon.When such eyes want to search for something, the success rate is roughly 100%.

At this time, Xiao Na stared at Fan Ximen with that sharp gaze: "Try one of them, and tell me the detailed process." Fan Ximen waved his hand, Xiao Na's expression made him very uncomfortable, he took a sip of wine: "That's just the legend of refugees, sailing at sea is prone to hallucinations—" Xiao Na interrupted him all of a sudden: "Simon, that's not a hallucination. Up to now, we still can't determine what's going on, but it must be a very serious thing—" Xiao Na is not usually a person who likes to exaggerate, but at this time, he leaned forward again and looked directly at Fan Ximen: "The seriousness of the matter may be far beyond human imagination, even far beyond the entire Vietnam War. !"

Fan Ximen disagreed: "Just for an illusory woman?" Xiao Na took a deep breath: "I don't care about one or two, but the power that this one or two have. Simon, that is a terrifying power!" Fan Ximen was very puzzled, it was a real confusion, he said: "Isn't the legend mentioned a 'Goddess of Salvation'? Is the rescue operation a terrible power?" Xiao Na waved his hand vigorously again: "I won't argue with you on terms, in short, it is a terrible force, and not only I want to pursue it, but also Western intelligence agencies, all intelligence agencies around the world are doing their best. I want to figure out what's going on..."

Fan Ximen looked at Xiao Na, although the weather was a bit hot, it was not enough to sweat, but Xiao Na's nose was sweating, which proved that he was nervous and excited. He sighed: "Well, if you are interested, I can arrange a meeting. There is a person, naturally the survivors of a refugee ship, who mentioned the goddess to me. You can listen to him directly .” Xiao Na let out a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.It was for this reason that Fan Ximen was quite troubled, while Xiao Na, who was sitting in a corner of the office, seemed quite calm. He was flipping through a pile of documents fairly quickly, which was all about the refugees' encounter with the "Goddess of Salvation" at sea.

All the descriptions are written in words, and there is no real evidence to prove the existence of such a goddess. Obviously, there are more than 300 "witnesses", and some of them described the appearance of the goddess in great detail. Those who are good at painting drew the appearance of the goddess from memory afterwards, but none of this can be regarded as definite evidence. In particular, some issues that Xiao Na is very concerned about—and also the concerns of intelligence personnel from all over the world: What tool does the goddess use to haunt the ocean?What power and weapon did the goddess use to deal with the pirate ships that plundered the refugees?

None of these questions, even "witnesses", can be answered precisely... Xiao Na quickly flipped through the pages, until Fan Ximen coughed, and then he raised his head. At this time, the clerk walked in with a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man had gray hair, and in the midst of his mental distress, he also kept blinking his eyes with luck, showing that he was quite uneasy. After he came in, he saluted Fan Ximen, called out: "Sir..." and then saluted Xiao Na. Xiao Na had already looked at the man quickly with his sharp eyes, and immediately affirmed that it was impossible for such a person to tell lies.In particular, a goddess, haunting the sea to save people, even if he was asked to make it up, he couldn't make it up.

So, his narrative should be true? Is there really such a goddess? As he began to listen to the man's narration, he kept thinking about many related issues. The first thing he thought of was that in the conversation with Fan Ximen last night, he mentioned the "terrible power". Terrible power does exist. He looked at the detailed report: A small gunboat encountered the "Goddess of Salvation" in the process of intercepting the refugee ship, and suddenly broke into two pieces. The steel hull was like butter cut by a red-hot knife. Same! What kind of power is this! He also thought of the hoarse voice of a general at the emergency meeting of the highest intelligence authority: "We must find that... woman, I don't believe in any gods, and I don't believe that someone will stay here for a long time just to save people." Life at sea must have another purpose!" The general slammed his fist on the table: "It is very possible that the woman used the Cam Ranh Bay naval base we built as a base camp...we must do everything possible to find her!" Xiao Na once reminded the general: "General, according to the reports we have received, the Soviet Union and the third forces are also making the same efforts!" The general's face was livid: "The smoke screen... that may be the Russian smoke screen!" Xiao Na didn't say anything more, he had made a hypothesis, even made a hypothesis that aliens lived in the sea, but it was hard to justify it, so he decided to come to Bangkok, and more in the mouth of the refugees, Get some facts. Naturally, just visiting is not enough, he is also prepared to go to sea, hoping to meet the "Goddess of Salvation" in person at sea, and find out who she is. There are no accurate statistics on how many intelligence personnel from various countries are carrying out the same activities with the same purpose as Xiaona, but it is impossible to cover up the activities of some top intelligence personnel for a long time. For example, Mrs. Gary of the Warsaw Group and Colonel Kaya of the Soviet State Security Bureau have all gone to Asia!The female general Huangjuan is lingering in Southeast Asia, and the beautiful and petite Begonia also appears frequently on appropriate diplomatic occasions, etc., which can let people know that bright, dark, and turbulent waves are trying to figure out the details of the "Goddess of Salvation" , And each has a trick. Among them, there is a person who is also active for "Saving the Goddess", but he does not belong to any force at all, and is just a purely personal action.This person is naturally Dr. Yuan Zhenxia who we are all very familiar with. Yuan Zhenxia participated in this matter, not entirely by chance.Even if it was a coincidence that he met Lin Wenyi's man, it was inevitable that he met Colonel Shan Hu and had a fierce fight with Colonel Shan Hu later on. All of this is described in the story titled. In order to find Ah Ying, Lin Wenyi originally planned to return to Vietnam and escape as a refugee, but later, he changed his plan slightly. He bought a boat and sailed continuously in the haunt of the legendary "Goddess of Salvation" But a month passed, but there was no result at all. Lin Wenyi's purpose is naturally different from the intelligence personnel of other countries. Lin Wenyi just wants to see Ah Ying, to see his unforgettable love again. Ah Ying has regarded her as more than half of his life. That person, who recognized the goddess of salvation at sea, turned out to be Ah Ying. Yuan Zhenxia thought it was unbelievable, so he asked Lin Wenyi to contact him if his search came to fruition. More than a month later, Lin Wenyi found nothing at sea, but he saw the person who recognized Ah Ying again. He decided to invite Yuan Zhenxia to listen to the person's direct narration, hoping to use Yuan Zhenxia's analytical ability to obtain further progress. At the same time, there are many refugees who accept people of various identities and different identities through various channels, and ask them to tell about adventures at sea, including interrogation in the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees, and General Huang Juan on a luxury yacht. The interview, the questioning of Begonia in the wooden house by the small river... However, since the experiences of "Adventures at Sea" are all similar, I will only select one of them to describe in detail, so as not to repeat the boredom. Just pick the case by Yuan Zhenxia. That day, Yuan Zhenxia received a call from Lin Wenyi, mentioning that he had gotten nothing for more than a month, and his tone was very depressed. Yuan Zhenxia comforted him a few words, and he said: "I can find the person who met Aying. Come out, do you want to meet him?" Yuan Zhenxia said: "Okay, you can bring him to the hospital." So, at noon that day, when Yuan Zhenxia was resting, Lin Wenyi, who seemed depressed, walked in with a middle-aged man. The inside and outside of the new clothes, it was obvious that he had just changed into it not long ago, and his expression was extremely haggard. After seeing Yuan Zhenxia, ​​he didn't know where to put his hands. In this situation, one can tell at a glance that he is a refugee who has just sneaked ashore, and naturally comes from Vietnam. Yuan Zhenxia asked him to sit down. Originally, in the hospital, it was not very suitable to talk about, but Yuan Zhenxia was also very interested when he heard the news of Ah Ying. Because of what happened at sea at that time, the narrations of Lin Wenyi and Colonel HS are extremely illusory. If there is Ah Ying's narration, it is natural to further analyze what happened! Lin Wenyi introduced the man and said, "Mr. Chen Mantang, after counting, is Ah Ying's cousin." That Chen Mantang bowed to Yuan Zhenxia, ​​and Lin Wenyi said again: "He just went ashore not long ago, fortunately he found me, and the few people who went ashore with him were all sent to the refugee camp!" Chen Mantang's voice was extremely dry: "A boat... when it left Saigon, there were thirty-four people, large and small, and when it landed, there were only fourteen people. If it hadn't been for meeting Ah Ying at sea, all of them would have died. At sea... the price of fleeing is really high!" Yuan Zhenxia took a breath: "Meet a pirate?" Chen Mantang shook his head: "No, we met, how can there be fourteen people left, the boat is broken, the sea is stormy, everyone is tied up with ropes, maybe when there will be a huge wave, Just a few were swept away, the food and water were exhausted, and the sun burned people to death!" Yuan Zhenxia closed his eyes. It's not hard to imagine this kind of tragedy. He smiled wryly! "You said you met Ah Ying at sea, what happened?" When Yuan Zhenxia asked this question, Lin Wenyi also looked at Chen Mantang with a very eager expression.Lin Wenyi's expression made Yuan Zhenxia a little strange.Because Chen Mantang should have told him how he met Ah Ying, why is he still so eager?Is it really because Chen Mantang said it so "too mysterious" that Lin Wenyi didn't understand what happened, so he wanted to listen to it again and let Yuan Zhenxia explain what he didn't understand? Chen Mantang coughed a few times. Yuan Zhenxia went over and poured him a glass of water. He made a "clack" sound in his throat, drank the water, and put down the glass: "That night, it was twelve days since I escaped from Saigon. The drinking water has already been used up, and the fog at night is very thick, everyone is sticking out their tongues, hoping to lick a little water vapor to moisten their thirsty and feverish throats..." The following is Chen Mantang's narrative.The narration is quite long. Yuan Zhenxia left and came back several times. He also wanted to ask Chen Mantang to speak more simply, but what he said was the extreme story of a refugee drifting on the sea from Chen Mantang's dry voice. Suffering, he couldn't bear to interrupt him, so he let him continue. Of course, the description here is not the whole description. One of the great calamities encountered by a person drifting at sea is running out of water. As far as the eye can see, it is full of water, but it is water that people cannot drink. People have to look at the large amount of water and endure the torment of water shortage. Suddenly, a young man, with a hoarse voice, yelled loudly, and while yelling, he rushed to the side of the boat. Several elderly people knew what he was going to do, but they were powerless to stop him. The small wooden boat swayed because of his violent movements, everyone just begged not to fall into the sea, the two children wept weakly, and several women sighed silently. The young man threw himself on the side of the boat, leaning his body out as much as possible, yelling in a terrifying voice: "Water...water...there's water here...it's all water..." The ocean is full of water, which is visible to everyone.People who are sane know that sea water is undrinkable, but people who are delirious due to lack of water can see that water is water, so what is the difference between what is drinkable and what is not?The young man yelled, and he jumped out, his head dipped into the sea water, and everyone on board could hear his stomach making a sound due to swallowing a large amount of water in a very short period of time. There is a strange sound of "ancient soil" and "ancient soil".Then, in a very short time, the young man raised his head, and a strange and inexplicable expression appeared on his wet face, an indescribable expression that was completely unbelievable! That weird expression is like a wanderer who has been wandering outside for many years, and when he returns home, he throws himself into the arms of his loving mother, and suddenly feels that the sharp knife in the hand of the loving mother has been pierced into his back! He drank a lot of water, thinking that water could quench his thirst, but at this moment, his twisted muscles told everyone the pain he was in. He opened his mouth wide, but no sound came out, only his lips were cracked in longitudinal lines , blood beads and water beads shot out together. He grabbed his throat with both hands, as if he wanted to tear it open with the strength of his ten fingers. When he found that the throat could not be opened, his fingers moved down relentlessly, tearing at the chest, and found that the chest was also broken. It is not so easy to split, the pain in the body has nowhere to vent, when gnawing every nerve and every cell, he pulls his stomach with both hands, it looks soft and elastic, and can be pulled like rubber It has to be stretched out, but it cannot be pulled apart. The scene was crazy, and everyone who saw it couldn't help trembling, but there was nothing they could do except to watch. From the throat of the young man, a sound finally came out, and it was already impossible to tell what the meaning of the sound was. Following the strange sound, he plunged headfirst into the sea water. The sea was quite calm, except for a splash when he fell into the water, everything was so calm. Then, on one corner of the wooden boat, there were the heartbroken screams of a woman, and the panting of a man, who was holding a five or six-year-old girl in his arms, with her head and the back of her hands hanging terribly, Her eyes were wide open in a daze, and in her eyes, like the surface of the sea, there were layers of thick white fog. The little girl died, and the parents were crying, perhaps, why bother?This is the real escape, right?At least, the pain of this life has been far away.As a result, the sea water splashed again, and another life that did not belong to the sea was swallowed by the waves. The fog gradually receded and the sky began to change. It's dawn, in various environments, looking at various meanings. On the surface of the sea, in the hearts of people sheltering in dilapidated wooden boats, among the half-dead people who have already run out of water and food, the dawn means the rising of the sun, and the rising of the sun does not mean light at all, but only means the coming of death . How that long day passed, Chen Mantang really can't remember exactly. Afterwards, he talked with the rest of the survivors, and others can't remember it. They only remember that it was endless, time stopped completely, and the sun was shining in the sky. The scorching sun is like fire, scorching their lives, trying to roast them into coke. They only remembered that when it was finally dark again, they had pushed a dozen men into the sea, the dead of the day. And they also know that the remaining people will not be able to escape the scorching sun tomorrow. At that time, I am afraid that no one will push them into the sea. If they are still discovered, what will happen to them? OK. When Chen Mantang opened his eyes after the sky got dark, there was a strange reflection on the sea surface, the reflection of the water, that kind of reflection of the water, which was extremely alluring, and made him feel the cool water flowing down his throat into his body. The sense of well-being, and the desire to be revived after the cool water enters the body. He licked his chapped lips, and his thoughts became more and more numb. He didn't know why he was at sea. Didn't he always live a good life on land?However, they are forced to end their lives at sea. He felt a sharp pain in his heart, which would make him exhale heavily and open his mouth weakly. The dense fog begins to gather at night, and when you stretch your tongue, you can indeed feel a little moist. He felt something pressing up on his left side, and it took him a long time to turn around and take a look. A face he was familiar with had been deformed, leaning on his shoulder, and his life had already ended. Chen Mantang was so close to that dead face that he burst into tears uncontrollably. The wailing was intermittent, and of course there were no tears. He seemed to have entered a semi-comatose state amidst his own wailing, his vision gradually blurred, and his body felt lighter and lighter—is life leaving the body? Then, everything happened suddenly, he didn't see fresh water, but he smelled clean water! Why does clean water have a smell?Under normal circumstances, people naturally cannot smell the smell of clear water, but when they are dying of thirst, clear water has an extremely strong fragrance, the fragrance of life! At that moment, instead of feeling joyful, Chen Mantang felt a burst of deep sorrow. He didn't have the strength to open his eyes, and all he thought of was: I am about to die. Before dying, people will always feel some better things or feelings in hallucinations. After all, a person's life is too painful. Before dying, enjoying a little beautiful hallucination seems to be just and fair thing.Like him, he obviously died of thirst, but he suddenly smelled the fragrance of water... No, not only smelled the fragrance of water, but he really felt the coolness and moistness of water, and felt water approaching his lips , He couldn't wait to open his mouth, he had almost forgotten what it was like to drink water, but the water full of vitality still flowed into his dying body in an endless stream, revived him. It didn't take long for Chen Mantang to be sure that it was definitely not an illusion, but something that was actually happening! It is easy to distinguish, hallucinations can only bring people closer to death, but real water flowing into the body can revive people, he actually opened his eyes, he saw that the fog was thicker, he saw his own Holding a large basin of water in both hands, he first took a breath, and then impatiently went to drink the water, and then he had enough sanity to think about what happened. He is not a person who advocates fantasy, he has always been very practical, so his first thought is that there is a passing ship and he found himself.But the fog was so thick that at that time, he was at the bow of the small wooden boat, but he couldn't see the situation at the stern clearly, and of course he couldn't see clearly whether there were other ships on the sea. When he drank enough water, he saw that the few people around him, those who were not dead, were holding cups or basins, in short, they were vessels that could hold trickling water, and among these vessels, there was also All have clean water. He saw that the faces of those who were ninety percent dead were alive again, and their eyes began to roll.It can be seen that as long as the people who are not dead are saved at this time, but who is saving them? Chen Mantang wanted to scream, but his throat, which had been thirsty for a long time, did not listen to the will of his brain, so he couldn't make any interesting sounds.He knew that the others on board were the same, because throughout the ship, there was a strange, throat-deep sound. At this moment, Chen Mantang saw (the important thing is that, except for Chen Mantang, the rest of the people on the boat also saw it without exception), in the thick fog, there was a very slender figure in a white long coat. , the woman with jet-black hair appeared in the thick fog like an illusion, as if she was part of the thick fog. Chen Mantang was the first to call out: "Goddess!" When he was yelling like this, he had never heard of the "Goddess of Salvation at Sea", but he naturally thought that the slender figure that looked like smoke was a goddess. When he called out, the "goddess" turned around slowly.The sea was really calm, and there was no wind—if there had been wind, the fog would not have gathered so thickly. However, when the "Goddess" turned around, her movements were obviously very light, very slow, without a sound at all, but her black hair, which looked particularly eye-catching in the white mist, and her body The long white dress she wore fell apart as she spun around! Visually, it forms a pleasing and extremely beautiful impression, which can make people in extreme crisis receive indescribable comfort! Chen Mantang and the people on the boat all coincided with each other, and they naturally gave out "ahhh" praises. After the "Goddess" turned around, everyone could see the face in the thick fog, not very clearly, but clearly recognizable. Naturally, it was a beautiful, majestic, tranquil and peaceful face. After seeing it, people sincerely admire and admire it, but after seeing it, Chen Mantang was a little more surprised in his heart!He could tell at a glance: Does the face of this goddess look familiar? At that time, he didn't remember who it was, he just watched the "goddess" slowly moving her body in the dense fog. Her body should have been moved out of the small wooden boat long ago, and he didn't know what she was relying on. Can live above sea water. It wasn't until her back was almost completely melted into the thick fog that Chen Mantang suddenly remembered: That was Ah Ying, her parents and her hometown were also colleagues since childhood, and their residence and shop were on the same street. Ah Ying! When Ah Ying was young, she was not good-looking at all, but after she was fourteen or fifteen years old, it was like a miracle. She grew up and looked good every day. This is something that all the neighbors know, so it can also make Chen Mantang suddenly look beautiful at this time. I remembered: it was Ah Ying! He raised his throat and called out, "Aying!" That cry was so loud that even he himself was surprised.Moreover, in terms of feeling, it seemed that his call had an invisible force breaking through the thick fog, so that Chen Mantang could clearly see that the "Goddess" was moving forward under his call. The body stopped suddenly, and turned around. As soon as she turned around, she shot her gaze at Chen Mantang. Why did Chen Mantang feel his heart shake? He saw the lips of the "Goddess" and moved them a few times, as if she had said something, or she wanted to Say something, but no one hears any sound. The goddess also turned back immediately. At this time, Chen Mantang was even more sure that it was Ah Ying. He was absolutely sure. He called again, but it was useless. Ah Ying (the goddess) disappeared into the thick fog. After the goddess left, their water containers were full of water and dry food, and the next day, a cargo ship found them, that is to say, their drifting career at sea was over and they were rescued. Theirs is the "Goddess of Salvation", and the "Goddess of Salvation" is Ah Ying. After Chen Mantang finished talking about the story, Yuan Zhenxia waved his hands: "According to you, there are no other ships on the sea at all? Then, whether it's Goddess or Ah Ying, how did they get here..." Chen Mantang shook his head: "I don't know how she came here, and I don't know how she got there. Later, I learned that she saved many people, and they all appeared suddenly when the refugees were in desperate situations, and no one knew about her. How to come, how to go." Yuan Zhenxia raised his head and thought for a moment. It was difficult for him to come to a conclusion as to what was going on. Although Lin Wenyi didn't make a sound, his anxious gaze told Yuan Zhenxia to at least state his conjecture. Yuan Zhenxia smiled wryly: "Suppose...after Ah Ying separated from you, she was always with the..."God of Love" who saved you..." He himself felt that his analysis was quite forced, but he had to follow this analysis.He paused for a moment: "From now on, Ah Ying will be in charge of rescuing people at sea." He smiled bitterly again: "I can only have this analysis, because I don't know anything about the real situation." Lin Wenyi lowered his head: "I still want to go to the sea. I believe that as long as she appears on the sea, I will definitely have a chance to meet her." Yuan Zhenxia took a deep breath. In fact, he didn't really like Lin Wenyi, who was cowardly and despicably succumbed to strength. But at this time, he also appreciated Lin Wenyi's longing for Aying. He tapped twice on the shoulder to express his support. Lin Wenyi raised his head, looked bewildered, and let out a long sigh. The meeting between Yuan Zhenxia and Chen Mantang, or Chen Mantang's narration, did not allow Yuan Zhenxia to draw any conclusions, and other interviews or activities of the same nature elsewhere did not allow the participants to draw any conclusions. draw any conclusions. For example, Xiao Na and Fan Ximen are. In the next few days, Xiao Na received various people who had seen the "Goddess of Salvation" and listened to their narrations. Fan Ximen did not participate in most cases, only on the third night, The person I met was an exception. For Xiaona's mission, it is very important to have personal experience of this person. He and Fan Ximen spent a lot of effort to get this person. Record in any way, so, the dating location must be designated by the other party.The location designated by the other party was in the backyard of a temple in the western district of Bangkok. When Xiao Na knew the designated place, he waved his hand humbly: "Temple? Why is it in a temple?" Fan Ximen sneered and said, "Perhaps, we had an agreement not to make any kind of records. He thought that in the temple, we would not violate the agreement and not record his words." Xiao Na's voice is even more humble! "Would a scumbag who played a guest role as a pirate believe in the binding power of the gods?" Fan Ximen's words are not very respectful to Easterners or Westerners, in short, to everyone. He said: "There are as many people in the world who do bad things and call gods at the same time!" Xiao Na didn't say anything else, but just made some preparations for the date. What made them have such an unusual dialogue in advance was naturally the very special status of the person they were going to meet.That person was an active naval officer, but he was a cameo pirate, and the target of the robbery was also a refugee from the Indochinese Peninsula who fled at sea. During a looting operation, the "Goddess of Salvation" suddenly appeared, rescued the refugees in suffering, and punished the group of guest pirates. He was the only survivor. His name is Dacha. It doesn't matter what the original rank of the big difference is, the wonderful thing is that after going through this incident, he is still his naval officer, and in him, such a thing happened, it was the rescued refugee , revealed afterwards. Anyway, under the circumstances of the political corruption, no one would investigate him. After a few drinks, he still talked about why the "Goddess of the Sea" forgave him.Xiao Na was in need of direct information, so he was willing to accept the inquiry after he was paid a considerable sum of money. The agreed time was in the afternoon, and the backyard of the temple was already quite shady, with the shadows of the trees whirling around, but with a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius, no matter how fast you fanned your hands, you would still be sweating. The back of Xiaona's shirt was soaked with sweat, which made him very uncomfortable. He had to shake the shirt from time to time to create a gap between the wet cloth and his skin to let some air through. He sat on a stone bench next to Youzu Bajiao, and kept complaining.Fan Ximen seemed to be calmer than him, and Xiao Na sighed: "Wait a minute, what I heard may be the most wonderful thing in the world, the most incredible thing, and it may also be the most ridiculous lie..." Fan Ximen laughed: "There doesn't seem to be much difference between the two?" Xiao Na smiled wryly: "I hope that the information we have obtained exceeds that obtained by others..." Fan Ximen didn't say anything, just said: "Here we come!" The temple was very quiet, and Xia Chan's singing was monotonous and dull, so when there were footsteps coming, it was very easy to tell that it was not the footsteps of the monks in the temple Voice. Not long after, a figure flashed at the corner of the wall, and after a while, someone came over. The man was of medium build, dressed in ordinary clothes, wearing a rather large straw hat covering his head and face, and looked like a thief. The appearance of the brain. He came directly in front of Xiao Nei and Fan Ximen, without saying a word, he stretched out his hand.Xiao Na said solemnly: "Let me know your real identity first, you must be the person we are looking for." The man straightened up a little, turned around and left without saying a word. He hadn't taken two steps. Xiao Na, who had been prepared for a long time, raised his hand and threw a large stack of dollar bills forward. , and fell at the man's feet. The man stood still abruptly and stretched out his hand to pick up the stack of dollar bills, but Xiao Na shook his hand, the string was attached to the stack of dollar bills, and pulled the bills back all at once, Xiao Na's voice sounded a bit condescending There is no room for him: "Be sure to find out your identity first!" The man murmured something, which didn't sound like a good word. He turned around and came to Xiao Na again: "What I said in advance, there can't be any records. If it is made public, I will deny what I said. It must be said!" Xiao Na almost roared: "Prove your identity..." The man took out a certificate, and Xiao Na unceremoniously lifted the straw hat on his head, and compared it with the photo on the certificate, it proved that it was the same person.And the information he got from the military also shows that this naval officer named Dacha was once the deputy captain of a patrol boat. The patrol boat sank accidentally during a mission. There were eight officers and soldiers in the boat, and he was the only one who survived. Xiao Na knew that the person in front of him who looked more like a thief than an official was exactly the person he was looking for. 他绝不掩饰对大差的鄙视，几乎是呼喝地道：“说清楚一点，别太罗嗦，集中说你们的炮艇怎么被摧毁的经过，我要一切细节，但不要渲染，说完了，这叠钞票，就是你的……” 大差咽了一下口水，连声说“是”，之后，就开始了他的叙述。 正如小纳刚才所说的，大差所说的，可以称为世上最不可思议的事，但是也可以说是最无稽的谎言——两者之间，如何去下判断，很有点令人啼笑皆非。 大差在一开始，并不讳言他们客串海盗的罪恶行迳，他只是为自己辩护：“我比任何人都好，我绝不杀人……也不……强奸妇女……除非是有的女人自己愿意……所以，女神才放过了我。” 人在这样说的时候，甚至大有自己赞许的神色。 小纳几乎忍不住气，要向大差的脸上吐痰！ 大差继续道：“那是……四个多月前，我们都在晚上出动，在天将亮未亮时分……行事……” 天色将明未明时分，海上如果有雾的话，是雾最浓的时候。 巡逻艇在海面上高速行驶，一大团一大团的浓雾，在艇两旁掠过，艇上官兵八人，这时都脱下了制服，他们干这种客串海盗的勾当，已不止第一次了，客串海盗对付掠劫的对象，绝不会比正式的海盗仁慈，只有更卑恶贪婪。 在大雾之中，这八个客串海盗的脸上，都泛着丑恶的油光，双眼之中，也满是红筋，看来不像是人类的眼睛，艇长陡然扬手，巡逻艇的机器停了下来，他们听到，右前方有木帆船的机器声传来——那是典型的破旧大型的难民船，他们有经验，这种大木船上的难民不会少，财货自然也相当多。 艇长在倾听了一会之后，作了几个手势。由于一切都不是第一次进行了，所以根本不必再说什么，巡逻艇的机器又发动，全速向前冲出，两名机枪手，也把住了机枪，只要浓雾之中，一可以看到目标物，机枪的枪口，就会喷射出夺命的火舌！ 以前很多次都是那样的，这次不应该有例外！可是，巡逻艇全速前进的时间太长了，至少已经有五分钟了吧？ 为什么还没有看到满载难民的木船，为什么看出去，只是茫无边际的浓雾？ 艇长首先感到情形有点不对，一扬手，巡逻艇的机器再次停止，海面上，静到了极点，除了海水打在艇身上的拍拍声之外，没有任何的声响，刚才还清晰可闻，航程至多在两百公尺之外的木帆船的机器声完全消失，一点也听不到了。 艇长十分恼怒：是木帆船发现了他们，也停了机器，想藉着大雾的掩遮溜走！这对他来说，简直是一种不可容忍的挑战！ 他陡然下令：“开火！” 两挺重型机枪旋转着，向着浓雾，作三百六十度旋转的扫射，艇长知道，机枪的射程，远达五百公尺，木帆船不论躲在浓雾中的何处，都必然在三百六十度的旋转射程之内！ 而一分钟的猛烈扫射，就可以迫使躲在浓雾中的木贝船发出声响，暴露所在，甚至投降，讨饶！ 可是枪声停止，海面上仍是一片寂静，寂静得难以相信。 艇上所有人都向艇长望来，艇长侧着头，用心倾听着，在寂静之中，他陡然听到了一阵水声，那是有什么物体在水面上迅速移动的声音。 不但艇长听到，别人也全听到了！每个人都现出狠毒贪婪的神情来。 艇上每一个人，都自然而然，认为那是木帆船停了机器，想在浓雾之中溜走时所发出来的声响，艇长甚至忍不住发出了桀桀的怪笑声来，两名机枪手，也不等艇长下令，就把机枪口，转向了声音传来的方向。 这一切，全是一刹那之间完成的事，只等艇长扬起的手向下一沉，海上的屠杀和掠劫，就可以开始了，也就在那一刹间，刚才有声响传来的那个方向，浓雾，突然“裂”了开来。 那是一种十分奇妙的景象，浓雾本来浓得像是真实一样，忽然“裂”了开来，自然可以看到原来被雾遮住了看不见的东西。 艇上的人都看到，有一艘相当大的破旧木帆船，在前面不到二十公尺处，船上几十个人，都可以看得清清楚楚，这种木帆船，若是停了机器之后，在海上移动的速度，应该是十分缓慢的。 但这时，他们看到的情形却是，木帆船的移动，快捷无比，陡然一闪之间，已经闪进了浓雾之中，而且，在这时，人人可见，木帆船之所以可以移动得如此之快，并不是它本身有什么动力，而是有一个人，在木帆船的船尾部分，推了一下，就是那一推之力，令得木帆船箭一样地射进了浓雾之中，消失不见了！ 而那人，在把木船推进了浓雾之后，就转过身来，面对着巡逻艇。 那是一个极其美丽的女人！ 那女人有着令浓雾无法逼近她的力量，因为不但在她的身边，雾在翻滚着无法接近她，而且，她的眼光，那像闪电一样的目光，也能把雾逼开来，逼得巡逻艇上的各人，一时之间，不知如何才好，由于眼前的景象实在太奇特，他们都在极度的震慑之中，手足无措。 大差说话不是很流利，有点口吃，当他讲到被眼前的景象弄得手足无措之际，更是结结巴巴，词不达意。 小纳不耐烦地挥着手：“你……干脆我问，你答算了，你说得太不明不白了……” 大差咽了一口口水：“当时的情形，确然如此，我自然只有照实说。” 小纳闷哼了一声：“照实说，什么叫作'有人在木船的尾部推了一下'？木船那么大，一推之下，就能飞快前进……” 大差苦笑了一下：“我看到的情形，就是这样。” 小纳一扬手：“推木船的是那个女人，她当时站在什么东西上面？” 大差瞪大了眼：“谁去注意这些……细节呢？” 小纳几乎要骂出粗话来，在一旁的范西门道：“你仔细想一想。” 大差叹了一声：“我在事后，想过不知多少次了，可是当时一见到那么美丽的一个女人，突然在浓雾中出现，目光如电，谁也不知她是妖是神，个个都吓呆了，谁还会去注意她站在什么东西上面？她穿着十分长的白色长衣，可能根本没有双脚，谁知道……” 小纳抹了一把汗，用蒲尾赶走了绕着他乱飞的苍蝇：“说下去。” 大差道：“艇上所有人都不知怎么才好，那女人……女神……却一下子就卷着浓雾，上了巡逻艇……她那时，是站在艇首的。” 小纳继续挥手，大差也就说下去。 那美丽之极的女人，突然一下子站到了巡逻艇上，站在各人的面前，艇上的水手长是一个色鬼，突然发出一下怪笑声，张开双臂，就向那女人扑了过去。在那一刹间，他一定以为那女人是难民船中的一员了。 他一面叫，一面向前扑去，他肯定未能沾到那女人分毫，那女人就扬起手来。 没有人看清有什么动作，只觉得眼前陡然一亮——（小纳又十分详细地问到了这个经过，所以大差的叙述，也十分详细。） 那一亮是突如其来的，极像是……不像是闪电，像是强力的闪光灯，突然在近距离闪了一下，不但光亮发生的时候极光，什么也看不到，而且，在光亮消失之后，眼前也全是鲜红的一大团，仍然什么也看不到，时间只有两秒钟，或者更久。 等到又可以看到眼前的情景时，他们看到那水手长双手挥舞着，动作相当滑稽，如同在舞台上故意做出来的慢动作一样，十分不自然，有使人想作呕之感——自然，那种感觉，是来自他痛苦之极，惊骇之极，面上肌肉完全扭曲，眼珠都已突出了眼眶的可怖景象带来的！ 小纳又打断了大差的话头：“照实说，少夸张！眼珠怎么可能跌出眼眶来？” 大差咽了一口口水：“我没有夸张，真的，他的眼珠，自眼眶中跌了出来，有一大半挂在外面……我从来没有见过那么可怕的情景过，他……好像是想伸手把眼珠托回去，可是他又在向前猛冲，他没有碰到眼珠，就一脚踏出了船舷，跌进了海中！” 大差又强调了一句：“从头到尾，我没有听到什么声音，连他跌进了海中，都没有发出什么声音来。” 小纳苦笑了一下，喃喃地重复了一句：“眼珠跌了出来……是那女人打了他一拳？” 大差倒真的十分认真：“不知道，在那亮光一闪间，发生了什么事，我不知道，因为在那一刹间，根本什么也看不到。” 接下来的变故，发生得更快，艇长发出一了下吼叫声，指向那女人，机枪的枪口，立即冒出了火舌，可是才不到十分之一秒，两挺巡逻艇上的重型机枪，陡然炸了开来，这一下，不但有声响，而且还有许多连带而生的特殊效果，例如那两个机枪手，在隆然巨响，火光闪耀的爆炸之中，首当其冲，不知被炸成了多少碎片，其中有若干片，像冰雹一样打了下来，落在大差的身上，由于连血带肉，直接落在肌肤上的，还有着灼热的感觉，而且黏乎乎的，拂也拂不掉，其中有些部分比较大一些的，在半空之中，洒下了一阵血雨。 这一下变故陡然发生之后，余下来的五个人，个个都如同泥塑木雕一样，一动不动。 大差只感到，那白衣飘飘的女人，这时看起来，是世界上最可怕的形象，她站在那里，实在是和死神的化身没有什么分别，她的目光，轧透浓雾，如同闪电，先停留在艇长的身上，然后摇了摇头，现出一种厌恶之极的神情来！ 艇长正在举起佩枪来对准她，佩枪一下子也炸了开来——那令得艇长在向下倒去之际，只是下半身倒下去的，他的上半身，已在爆炸之中化成碎片了。 小纳再度打怕大差的话头：“你没看清她手中持的是什么武器……” 大差回答得极肯定：“她手中没有武器！” 小纳哼了一声：“可是她有力量，使别人手中的武器爆炸？” 大差摇头：“我不知道那是不是也的力量。” 小纳不由自主地摇了摇头，大差的叙述，以他自己来作知识上的判断，实在是不可能的事！要令他人手中的武器爆炸，总要有一种力量才是，而一种力量，总要通过一样东西，一种装置来发出来才是，否则，力量自何而来！ 难道真像他早些日子看过的中国的神怪小说那样，一翻手掌，掌心就有大量的电能发出来，称之为“掌心雷”？或者是一伸手指，就有一股雷射激光，发自指尖，称之为“一道剑光”。 他耐着性子问：“那女人，至少手部，或是身体的其他部分，有点动作吧！” 大差用力瞪着眼：“有……有的……她双眼向艇长望来……她的眼光和闪电一样。” 小纳又叹了一声：比神奇小说更神奇，只要望上一眼就能令敌人手中的武器爆炸，这是一种什么样的能力？ 他把手中的大扇子用力拍打在腿上：“解决了四个，还有三呢？” 大差上下两排牙齿在“格格”作声，那自然是他想到了当时的情景，心中还在感到害怕之故。 当时，大差虽然身为副艇长，但是和其余三人一样，失魂落魄地发一声喊，转身向艇尾部分便奔。 他们那时的行动，甚至是无意识的，巡逻艇能有多大？就算奔到了艇尾，又能逃出多远？可是他们却行动一致，只觉得离开那女人远一寸，都是好的。 在向艇尾奔跑的过程中，他们是背对着那女人的，大差并不是奔在最前，在他前面有两个人，大约只奔上三五步，闪亮的精光，连闪了两闪，大差就看到估他前面的两个人，双手掩着脸，突然之间，踉跄转了转身子，跳进了茫茫大海之中。 所以，当他突然又感到有精亮的光芒，自身后闪射过来时，他认为这次遭殃的，一定是自己了，在那一刹间，他也下意识地停止了奔逃。 然而，当他一停止之后，在他身后的一个人，挥舞双手，越过了他。 他转头一看，那人脸上的神情，也是惊骇莫名，满面都是才沁出来的血珠子，口张得大到了不能再大，却又没有任何声音发出来。 大差可以清楚地看到，那人的舌头，在他张大了的口中，可怕地发着抖！ 那人由他身边一掠过去，也转了一转身，向前直冲，跌进了海水之中。 大差清楚地知道，巡逻艇上，只剩下他一个人了！ 他在那时，绝未想到自己还能活着，他只是自然而然，跪了下来，自然而然，屈服在不知是神法仙法还是妖法魔法之下——他只知道这种法，只要一举手之间，就可以把他当蚂蚁一样捏死！ 他跪了下来，双手抱着头，伏着，发着抖，可是却什么也没有发生，不知道过了多久，他慢慢抬起头来，才一抬头，就看到女神在他的身前！ 他不住地叩头，口中杂乱地说着许多求饶的话，不敢去看女神。 在这期间，他由于实在心中太恐惧了，所以根本不知自己讲出什么，直到又是一下水声传来，令他住了口，他才看到，一艘救生艇正好离开船舷，落向海面。他不知道那是谁放下去的。 同时，他看到女神伸手，向那救生艇指了一指，大差感到那是要他上救生艇去，他仍然发着抖，但是十分迅速地跳进了艇中。 他才到了艇，就感到所有的浓雾，一下子全成了鲜红色，红得如此夺目，当他半闭着眼向前看时，看到巡逻艇已齐中裂开，断成两截，正在迅速地下沉，而那个白衣女神，已经不知去向了，雾也在转眼之间，回复了原来的颜色。 他开始拚命划艇，终于在两天之后获救。 大差讲完了他的遭遇，眼睁睁地望定了小纳。小纳向范西门望去：“这是我听过的最拙劣的故事！” 范西门缓缓摇着头：“我还以为你的工作使你有丰富的想像力！小纳，你听到的，不是故事，是事实……的确有这样一个具大神通的女神，在海上活动！” 大差连连点头：“是，从那次之后，我听不少人讲起过，巡逻艇……是客串海盗的一些……船，没有一艘能逃过去的，船上的人……只有我一个生还的，还有半截船被捞了起来——” 小纳喝了一声：“说你自己知道的！” 大差站了起来，拍了拍裤子：“我知道的事，已经全说完了。” 小纳十分疲倦地挥了挥手，大差摇摆着，走了开去。这时，已到了斜阳西下时分，庙宇建筑在斜阳之下形成的阴影，遮住了他们两人，小纳苦笑一下：“我不知如何作结论，真的，照例要写份报告的，这报告如何写法？” 范西门也摇着头：“照实写？” 小纳道：“上头还需要我的意见。” 范西门用力一挥手：“承认真有这样的一位女神，建议进一步探索。” 小纳在自己的脸用力上抚摸了一下，没有再说什么。他这时，心中在想：自己这方面，可以说一点收获也没有，其他各国的情报组织呢？是不是有收获？能不能提出一个建议：大家交换一下情报？
