Chapter 6 Chapter 5: The Sea Monster

Sure enough, after the punch came out, he uttered another terrifying cry, and loosened his hands. He was knocked to the ground by my punch, and the door of the ward opened at this time, the doctor and Mr. Moya rushed in together, I jumped up, backed up, and said: "Get out quickly! " The doctor and Mr. Moore backed out immediately. I raised my chair, rubbed my neck, and looked at Captain Moore.He fell to the ground and remained motionless for a while, then slowly stood up again.When I saw his situation, he seemed to have calmed down a lot. He was no longer afraid, nor did he attack me anymore, but just looked straight at me.

I tried to force a smile on my face: "How about it, Captain, can we talk now?" He was still looking at me motionless. I originally wanted to tell him the news about Myrlon's death, but after a second thought, I decided to lie to him, and I said, "Captain, it doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me, Myerun has already told me everything!" He shook suddenly, stretched out his hand and pointed at me, and suddenly laughed loudly, while laughing, he rushed towards me. This time, he didn't attack me, but rushed to me, hugged me, kept patting my shoulder, still smiling, I pushed him away, he was on the edge of the bed He sat down, the laughter stopped, and he still had a dull look.

I looked directly at him: "Your secret is no longer a secret, anyone knows it!" He shook again, but this time, he didn't laugh or make any other movements. I thought my words were effective, so I approached him: "Tell me, what did you see at the bottom of the sea!" When my face was close to his, he suddenly let out another exclamation. That exclamation was so terrifying that I would not easily forget it in decades. Then, he grabbed my face with both hands. , fortunately this time I was prepared and retreated immediately. He immediately grabbed the pillow, covered his face, and trembled all over.

I wanted to pull the pillow away from his hand, but he was clinging to the pillow tightly, so I gave up and said loudly in his ear: "Moah, Myrlon said it all, you don't have to hide your fear heart!" But he didn't respond, and then I spent another half an hour saying a lot of things that I thought were enough to irritate him, but he didn't respond at all, just covered his face with a pillow. The doctor opened the door again and came in: "Mr. Wei, let's stop here, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on!" I sighed and walked out of the ward with the doctor.Mr. Moore had been waiting outside the ward. He obviously knew that things were going nowhere, so he just smiled bitterly when he saw me come out.

I didn't say anything, and we went back to the doctor's office and sat down.After a long while, the doctor said: "Mr. Wei, you have already seen that your appearance will not help him at all!" I lowered my head, the meeting with Captain Moya just now caused a strange pressure in my heart. I thought for a while before I said: "It's not that it's completely useless, at least I already know that he has a big secret in his heart, which is his cause of disease. If he can tell this secret, then his disease , maybe it will improve immediately!" The doctor looked at me and smiled wryly: "Of course, what you said is in line with the actual situation, but you don't know that anyone who is insane under such circumstances is not because he is stubborn and refuses to tell the secret. , He became sober, and his current situation is that due to the great stimulation, in his own mind, this secret is blank, even if he wants to tell you, he can't do it!"

Mr. Moya said: "So, there is no other way?" The doctor said: "It took me a long time to check the records of similar cases all over the world. There are a few cases like this, and they all recovered!" I hurriedly said, "What method did they use?" The doctor said: "In front of the patient, please reveal this secret, so that the patient can be stimulated again and return to normal!" Mr. Moore and I exchanged glances. No one knows what happened to Captain Moore and Myron at the bottom of the sea except the two of them, and Myeron is already dead! Between our glances, I think, we both immediately understood what the other was thinking.

Mr. Moya stood up: "Well, no matter what he saw on the bottom of the sea, I will go to the same place and experience it again, and then I will know!" The doctor was shocked: "Mr. Moya, I absolutely oppose this. I think the result of this is that we have one more lunatic here!" Mr. Moya's expression was very excited and his face was pale. Before he said anything, the doctor said again: "Looking at your current situation, you are definitely not as good as your son. After you become a lunatic in the future, your situation will definitely be worse than him!" Mr. Moya was obviously dissatisfied, but I didn't let him speak first, and said, "I'll go!"

The doctor looked at me with an extremely surprised look. It is understandable that Mr. Moore’s proposal came from the relationship between father and son. But why am I willing to take the risk? Mr. Moore also looked at me. It seems that I am willing to take this risk, but he also does not understand why. The three of us fell silent, and it took a long time before we heard Mr. Moore say: "I think—" I only heard him say so far, and I interrupted him: "I don't want anyone to accompany me, Mr. Moore, or you don't know what I am, I like everything strange and weird, and, I don't know No matter how many strange things they have seen at the bottom of the sea, and no matter what tragedy happened to them because of it, I can bear it."

The doctor lowered his head, obviously he thought it was inconvenient to express his opinion on this matter, Mr. Moore rubbed his hands, I said: "I think we can decide on this, I must go, because that day, if it wasn't for the two of them , I had such a terrible experience at the bottom of the sea, and if I kept it from me, my result would be the same!" Mr. Moore was looking at me: "If you need any payment—" This time, without waiting for him to finish speaking, I interrupted him again: "I don't want any reward, but I need all the equipment you provide me for this trip."

Mr. Moore hurriedly said: "Yes, the Maori can be used by you." I shook my head and said, "No, I don't want the Maori, it's too slow, I want a seaplane with superior performance!" Mr. Moya said: "That's absolutely no problem." I smiled: "We don't need to discuss all the details here──" I patted the doctor on the shoulder: "Please take good care of Captain Moa, I will be back as soon as possible!" The doctor murmured, "God bless you!" I shrugged and left the madhouse with Mr. Moore.In the next few days, I made full preparations for my expedition. Considering Mr. Moore's financial resources, I made preparations and got twice the result with half the effort. I brought a lot of things that must be used. Bring some things that you might use, but don't have to.

Mr. Moya prepared a medium-sized seaplane for me. He insisted on going with me, but after I refused, he wanted to send a very famous diving expert with me, but I also refused. . He also notified the governments of other countries through the New Zealand government that a plane like mine was going to the Atlantic Ocean, and asked the local governments to provide me with convenience and assistance as much as possible. The time I took off was at 2:00 pm. In advance, I had tried several times to take off and land on the water, which proved that the performance of this seaplane was extremely superior. So after takeoff, I took a straight flight until midnight before arriving at the scheduled time. The first stop to refuel. The flight plan was very smooth. At noon on the third day, I had already arrived in the sky above the mooring of the "Maori" that day. I flew low and made a circle. With the help of the correct position determined by scientific instruments, I almost landed at the mooring of the Maori. The place. That day, when I flew to the destination, the sky was very cloudy, with dark clouds all day long, and the color of the sea water was also very deep, like the face of a person with a huge depression in his heart. After circling for a week, I started to land, and the flying field made a circle on the water and stopped. When the plane was flying over the sea, the water seemed to be very calm, but when it stopped, I began to feel a little bad.The seemingly calm sea water obviously has undercurrents, because the fuselage is shaking violently. When I stand up from my seat and walk around, I have to hold on to the bulkhead so as not to fall. At this time, I am the only one People, on the vast ocean, if there is any sudden change, I'm afraid no one can save me! I opened the door of the engine room and looked at the sea. Due to the swaying of the fuselage, the sea surface looked like a big blanket that fluctuated, which made me a little dizzy. Then, put down the applied things one by one. At this time, I regretted a little, why I refused Mr. Moore's proposal and brought an assistant. Because if there is an assistant, then at least I can have someone to help me at this time, and more importantly, when I start to feel a little scared, I can have someone to talk to and comfort each other, and now it's just me When a person feels afraid alone, the only result is that the feeling of fear becomes more and more serious. I try not to make myself think about this, the weather report proves that the sky in this area is cloudy, but there will not be any major changes, and I reckon that I will not be delayed for too long in the sea, and I will definitely be able to Find something, and take off to go back! I took off the things I used, changed into diving equipment on the plane, and walked along the rope ladder to the dinghy. I corrected my course and jumped into the water. The sea water is very cold, and once I entered the water, I shivered several times. I lay on the propeller on the seabed, and when Mellon dived into the water that day, I knew the direction he was going, so I followed his direction. , while advancing, while diving deeper. When I dived to the bottom of the sea, I saw the white sand on the bottom of the sea. The sand is so fine and white, which is beyond my expectation. I manipulated the propeller and dived forward. The bottom of the sea was very calm, no different from the bottom of any other place. I carefully observed the situation on the bottom of the sea, but time passed slowly, and I really didn't find anything special. At that point, having already made one circle, I started a second circle, expanding the radius. I estimate that in the second circle, it was about 500 meters from where the plane stopped, and then, in the third circle, the radius increased to 800 meters. The bottom of the sea still seemed calm, schools of fish were swimming around, and when I came to the northwest, I saw something! The suspicious thing I saw was about a hundred meters away from me, and I immediately approached it. At first I wasn't quite sure what it was, but as I drew nearer to it, I was sure at once that it was, without a doubt, a ship, a sunken ship! At that time, my heart was beating violently, and even I didn't know why it was beating so hard. Maybe it was because things came so easily. I only went into the water for about an hour before I saw the sunken ship. Moreover, the sunken ship looks so clear, half of the ship is buried in the sand, and the bow part is exposed on the sand, the water is clear, I can see clearly, it is a large ship in the heyday of the Spanish navy. I manipulated the subsea thrusters and quickly approached the sunken ship. When I got closer to the bow, I saw the logo on the bow again, which was the emblem I was familiar with.This ship is the "ghost ship" that Captain Moya is looking for! I immediately thought that Captain Moore and Maerun must have seen the sunken ship not long after they went into the water that day. Naturally, it was Maerun, because he was the first to go into the water, and after he saw the sunken ship, Must have told Captain Moore immediately. At that time, I was lying on the canvas chair and sleeping soundly. Captain Moore didn't wake me up after receiving the report from Mellen—I don't know the reason for this, but he himself immediately went into the water . But then, what happened?Why did the two of them emerge from the water in a panic and leave immediately, but one committed suicide and the other became a lunatic? However, no matter what happened to them that day, now that I have seen the sinking ship, I can definitely experience what happened to them in person immediately! Thinking of the results of the two of them, I felt extremely nervous, and when I came to the side of the boat, I reached out and stroked the hull. At this time, I felt a very indescribable sense of doubt.According to Captain Moya's research, this ship has sunk on the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years, but when I touched the hull, I didn't feel any rotten wood at all. What I touched was still well-maintained. Very good, very solid wood, as if the boat had only sunk an hour ago! I fixed the propeller to the side of the boat, and then, along the tall hull, "climbed" upwards, I should actually say "lifted" upwards, and after a while, I came to the deck. The whole ship is tilted at a forty-five degree angle, with the bow up and the stern buried in the fine white sand on the seabed. When I came to the deck, I was even more surprised, because, from any angle, this is a new ship, definitely not a sunken ship that has sunk in the sea for hundreds of years. I cling to the things on the deck—these things all have the special names used by navigators, and I won't introduce them one by one, but one thing must be said is that these things, whether it is my sight or touch, tell me , that's new! The suspicion in my heart is getting worse.The sense of amazement came so violently that in an instant, I almost felt that my breathing became a little difficult. I tried my best to calm myself down, and as I approached a hatch, I kept telling myself that what I encountered at this time was a strange thing that couldn't be more strange, and no matter what I saw again, I must remain calm. When my hand could touch the cabin door, I stretched out my hand and gently pulled it, and the door floated outwards. The cabin was quite dark, and for a moment, I couldn’t see clearly what was in the cabin. But I swam in first, and then turned on the lights. I saw an empty cabin with nothing in it. The cabin is quite spacious, but there is nothing there. There are two windows in the cabin, and the windows are decorated with wood carvings. Those patterns still look exquisite. If it wasn't for the entire ship in the sea, I would have involuntarily asked loudly, "Is there someone there" in such a situation and seeing such a situation! At this time, of course I didn't make a sound, but my heart was beating extremely violently, and I couldn't even imagine where I was, am I in a sunken ship?It must be, but why is a ship that has sunk for hundreds of years so new and so strange. I swam up and down in this cabin, and when I was about to inspect other parts of the ship, I suddenly heard a "pat, clap" sound coming up from below. When I heard that sound, the fear in my heart was really indescribable, as if I was immersed in ice water, I could not help but hold my breath. That kind of sound, it sounds like someone is hammering a nail! And this sound is not the first time I have heard it.That day, when I woke up from sleep, there was such a voice from the radio intercom that was abandoned on the deck of the "Maori". And now, I'm hearing it more directly. After holding my breath for a while, I gasped again, and I swam out of the cabin immediately. After leaving the cabin, the sound was even more clear, and I could tell that it was coming from the stern of the ship, that is to say, this sound was the part of the entire ship buried in the sea sand. Part of it came out! A ship has sunk on the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years, more than half of it is buried in the sea sand, and the part buried in the sea sand actually has the sound of hammering nails! I feel that my courage is gradually disappearing, and I have reached the point where I have no courage to stay any longer! I told myself I had to get out of the water immediately and get back on the plane! But what is the purpose of my coming here?Didn't I once promise to be worthy of Captain Moore no matter what strange things happen on the bottom of the sea? At this time, I began to feel that it is one thing to imagine that I can cope with something before I have experienced it, but it is another thing to really be able to cope with it when I experience it! After getting out of the cabin, I held the side of the boat with both hands. At this time, as long as I push my feet up, I can leave this strange and inexplicable shipwreck and float to the surface of the water! However, at this moment, I saw something.It was a small walkie-talkie. This walkie-talkie was placed between two wooden stakes near the cabin, and it must have been left by Myrlon.When I was on the deck of the Mauritius that day, I heard that voice must have come from this radio. Seeing the walkie-talkie, in fact, did not increase my courage. On the contrary, it increased my fear, but it also made my curiosity reach its peak.That's what dissuades from leaving this weird shipwreck. I sank down and reached out to pick up the walkie-talkie. At the same time, the "pat" sound kept coming. I also found that there was a half-open hatch that allowed me to enter the interior of the ship, and it seemed that the sea sand had only covered the exterior of the ship and had not penetrated into the hull. This is naturally impossible. Since a ship has been immersed in the sea for hundreds of years, when more than half of it is submerged by sea sand, the sea sand must also fill every gap on the ship.But since the ship is so new after hundreds of years in the sea, it is not a particularly strange thing if the sea sand has not invaded the cabin in the stern part of the ship! I tried my best to gather my mind, got in through the hatch, and swam down slowly. I had swum to the cabin in the stern of the boat, which was buried in the sand.I passed one cabin after another, and the cabins were all empty. The "pat" sound was getting closer and closer, and the panic in my heart became more and more serious. I was thinking that there must be a big fish trapped in the cabin and unable to swim out, so it was hitting the bulkhead with its body. But even when I think that way, I know it's unlikely. Because, even if there is a big fish trapped in the cabin, the sound it makes is not like that. What I heard at this time is obviously the sound of someone hammering a nail. I finally came to the door of a cabin again, and the door was tightly closed, and I can be sure that the knocking sound came from this door.That is to say, as long as I reach out and push the door open, I can see what is responsible for making that weird sound! I reached out to push the door, my hands were shaking. In the water, my hands trembled. This was the first time I had such an experience in my life. Because my hand was shaking, and it was shaking so violently, when I stretched my hand forward, there was a series of water splashes. I pushed the door, but the door didn't move. The light attached to my hood is shining on that door, and I have stretched out my hand to push the door. Of course, I can see the structure of this door clearly. This door does not look different, except that there is a , with brass hoops crossed in the shape of a cross. Moreover, based on its location, this cabin may be the captain's cabin of the sunken ship. I pushed, but didn't open the door. I was a little unconvinced, because I didn't believe that I would not be able to open the door of a cabin that had sunk on the seabed for hundreds of years, so I slammed my knees against the door. There was a thud when my knee hit the door. And after this sound, the "pat" sound suddenly stopped!When that weird sound keeps ringing in the ears, it is indeed terrifying, but when that sound suddenly disappears and becomes a silence, it is even more unbearable! My slam did not knock the door open, so I stepped back a little, and slammed forward with all my strength. I thought that this time, I would hit the door hard, but unexpectedly, just as my body was about to hit the door, the hatch opened suddenly!Don't forget that the boat was buried in the sand at an angle of forty-five degrees. As soon as the door opened, I sank immediately and sank into the door. When I stopped my sinking, I had touched the bulkhead opposite the door, and I turned around immediately. In that split second, I saw something absolutely unbelievable! Opposite me, as far as the light goes, there is a person! Yes, I said a person, not a fish, the person—I don't know how to put it in order—the person didn't have any diving equipment, just a person.He was dressed very simply, but it was obviously not the clothes of modern people. His hair floated up and floated in the water. He stared at me with wide eyes. In front of him was a rather large wooden box. In his hand, he was holding a hammer. Alone, hammer nails on wooden boxes! Such a thing, if placed on land, is really an extremely common thing. However, now it is at the bottom of the sea, in a sunken ship that has sunk for hundreds of years, I remember, I kept screaming, I saw the man, blowing bubbles out of his mouth, swinging a hammer, to me hit. His first hammer broke the lamp on my hood, and my eyes became pitch black. I have lost any ability to resist at all, because of the fear in my heart, my whole body is weak. In the darkness, I just felt that the opponent's hammer was constantly hitting me. If it wasn't in the water, I thought, I would definitely be beaten by the opponent's hammer, and the bones and tendons were broken, but the resistance of the water saved me. I only felt blows again and again, but they were not fatal. When I had the strength to push that person away, I didn't know how many blows I had suffered. I pushed that person away and floated up. A lot of air bubbles rose up, and I floated out of the cabin all at once. Opening my mouth, I immediately pressed the door tightly, panting heavily. All my actions at this time were almost subconscious, because the normal activities of my brain were almost completely destroyed by excessive panic. I can't describe the details of the actions at that time, because I have no way of knowing what I did. , I acted in a frantic mood, I didn't know how long I pressed the door, and I went up again. As I stretched upwards, my hands and feet kept moving. I kept rising. How did I get out of that boat? I don’t know. As soon as I saw the light, I swam forward with all my might. I didn’t know how far I swam. It just rose to the surface of the sea. When I emerged from the sea, I saw it at first sight.The seaplane stopped not far from me. And when I came out of the water, my first thought was: everything is impossible, all the hallucinations I had in the bottom of the sea, I swam forward again, and grabbed the ladder hanging from the hatch of the seaplane . I flung off my hood, gasping for air, and the hood floated on the water, the lights on it shattered. If everything I encounter at the bottom of the sea is an illusion, then will the lamp on the hood shatter along with the illusion? I tried my best to calm myself down, panting for breath, and went down a few more steps, picked up the hood floating on the sea, climbed into the cabin in one breath, and looked at the hood again. The reason why I looked at the hood after climbing into the cabin was because I was afraid that after staying on the steps and proving that everything I encountered at the bottom of the sea was not an illusion, I would not be able to hold on and fall into it. to the sea! At this time, I had already entered the cabin, sat down, and checked the hood again, only to see that not only the lights on it were broken, but also that there were many recessed places on the hood made of aluminum alloy. It was obviously struck with a hammer and vigorously. Immediately, the image of the person at the bottom of the sea appeared in front of me, attacking me with a hammer, and my head was still aching! This was really terrible, I was limp and paralyzed, as if I had collapsed, and I couldn't do anything except gasp for breath. I don't know how long I sat on the seat like a carbuncle, and when I was able to look around again, I found that it was getting dark!That is to say, I have been sitting in the cabin with a blank mind, unable to think of anything, like a wooden man, for hours! As if I had been stabbed by a needle, I jumped up suddenly, closed the door of the cabin, and then, with a nervous movement, I started the engine, because my mind was so flustered that my whole body couldn't move. Shivering, the seaplane rushed forward on the sea for half an hour, and I forgot to pull up the takeoff lever. When the plane was empty, panting, I contacted the nearest airport and told the airport control room that I had to make an emergency landing. At this time, the seaplane was not faulty at all, but what was faulty was me as the pilot, and my piloting skills were more than enough to handle this kind of seaplane. Especially severe malaria patients, I just ask to land and let me have a good quiet time.I didn't even hear clearly the answer from the airport control room, but fortunately I still had a sense of reason, which enabled me to fly to my destination, and this, in fact, came from the instinct of survival. When the seaplane landed, it bounced horribly on the runway and broke another wing before coming to a stop.I vaguely heard the emergency cries of ambulances and ambulances, but I don't know what will happen afterwards, because I couldn't bear it anymore and passed out. That day, when Merlon and Captain Moore came up from the water, although their faces were terrifying, they did not faint immediately. It was not that my nerves were not as strong as theirs, but because they had two Personal, and immediately saw my reason again. When a person is under extreme terror, if he is still alone, the terror will inevitably increase rapidly and become unbearable, but if he immediately encounters other people, the fear will be less. It was because I didn't have any chance to meet anyone until I landed, so I couldn't bear it and fell into a coma. Afterwards (nine days later), a psychiatrist expressed his opinion to me. He said that it is a good phenomenon for a person to faint in the shortest period of time under excessive panic stimulation, which can make people's nerves , with loose chances.If it is not to use coma to adjust the nerves, then there will be a terrible consequence - going crazy. I passed out at the time, and when I woke up, I was already in the hospital. A doctor saw me wake up before the hospital bed, and he immediately said: "Calm down, you have been greatly stimulated, I have injected you with a sedative, you'd better fall asleep quickly." I blinked and tried to sit up, but the doctor put his hands on my shoulders and looked straight at me as soon as I moved.I don't know if it was the effect of the sedative, or he was using hypnotism when he was looking at me. In short, I didn't say anything, I just felt extremely tired, and immediately closed my eyes and fell asleep.
