chapter 57 – the great squid (above)

Seeing that we are about to achieve the purpose of this sea trip, but this shipwreck biased and went wrong, tilted the bow of the Mary Sennu, has been supported by the ruins of the seabed remains, in the middle of the hull crack, the rear hull by the seabed underwater currents, gradually sinking into the wreckage of the ancient sailing ship underwater, the rotting wooden ship can not withstand the keel was suddenly pressed off, the Mary Sennu suddenly slipped into the deep water.

The cabin suddenly seems to be the sky turned upside down, we feel a dizzy suffocation inside, I do not know whether it is my lungs were hit by the leakage, gulping out countless white bubbles, the searchlight touched on the bulkhead was hit by poor contact, and also then extinguished, in the dark water, I hold in my hands the “King of the Qin Bone Mirror” in the chaotic shaking fell on the ground, and when the wreck fell on the ground, the shipwreck was suddenly broken. On the ground, such as the wreck fell on the nearby ruins of the stone columns to stop, I hurriedly re-touch the bronze mirror, so fortunate not to have been lost or damaged.

At this time, Gu Gui in the searchlight on a flurry of shooting, poor contact with the underwater searchlight to shoot bright, light flashes, I subconsciously looked at the hands of the ancient mirror, just now in the water in the dark, focusing on it back, but did not pay attention to the mirror body anyway, a look, scalp at that time on the numbness of a numbness, “Qin King Bone Mirror” back of the shadowy side of the mirror In a moment of confusion, I even ghosted the mirror.

Under a burst of confusion, I even ghostly godlike “King of Qin mirror” mirror back lifted in front of their own, think of this mirror back had shone in the ancient corpse of a thousand years, it is said that the zombie form refined and born of the corpse gas were sucked into the mirror, other I do not care, but the living by it is illuminated, is really not auspicious.

Underwater environment is too dark, I simply can not see what is in the mirror back, just a black ghost deep, I feel so odd, “King of Qin mirror” mirror back, how would be as black as being smoked and burned in general? I would like to see exactly, hastily raised his hand to catch Gu Cai holding a searchlight arm, the light pressure to the mirror body to see carefully, the original bronze mirror back, was made to seal the fire paint, paint there are evil symbols on the indentation of the seal.

I moved in my mind: “cruise ship owners probably also know that this ancient mirror evil, simply will mirror back cover, in the collection of appreciation or trafficking process, it is much safer, so it seems that three people into a tiger, the King of the Qin Dynasty mirror is an ominous legend, most likely not false.” Then the ancient mirror into the diving carry bag, to the crowd of people a shot of the bag mouth, got it, close the team retreat.

Shirley Yang to help me behind the leaking scuba unloading, diving mission has been nearly completed, a group of two oxygen cylinders less than one does not matter, but she still lightly pushed me a hand, seems to blame me for my boldness, dare to take the lamp to shine mirror back, in case the ancient mirror is not covered by the dark side, but then how?

I thought I had already face to face, even if I do not use a searchlight to see a clear and late, I will not be like the ancient guess like two eyes straight hook, in the water to catch who want to move with who, if not weigh the priorities, I will not venture to look at the back of the mirror of the dark side, but difficult to say underwater, I had to do an upward gesture, ready to lead the dive team to leave the Mary Siannu ship, when the wreck’s stern into the bottom of a drift. The wreck’s stern was plunged into a floating current under the water, under the impact of the submerged surge, the hull’s steel keel kept thrashing, in the bilge feel very real, the wreckage of the hall of that section of the road is infested with sharks, we had to look for another way out.

Four people turned to the side of the ship, a cabin has a broken porthole, the ship and the wreckage of another masted ship between the dark current, I was about to go out to see if you can go up from here, Shirley Yang but grabbed a head start, she poked out of the porthole out of the ship, waving at us to indicate that we can leave.

I asked Fatty and Gu Guchai to throw away their heavy demolition tools, so I took hold of the diving knife and followed Shirley Yang out of the porthole, surrounded by a burst of turbulence, the buoyancy of the water seems to have lost its effect, and the only way to barely move upward is to hold on to the cracks in the wreckage.

Shirley Yang and I outside the wreck, see the turbulence although more, but can be forced through, outside the ship is not so much sewage, not like the cabin turbid darkness, so the fat man and Gu Guchai successively received out, I suddenly found the turbulence is different, took over the dive searchlight, looked down into the depths of the water, the Mary Siannu ship’s huge propellers, the dark currents in the non-stop spinning, according to the ship’s power has been lost in the cabin, and did not feel signs of engine work! I didn’t feel any sign of the engine working, but the wreck was like a haunted ship, and the propeller on the bottom was actually turning at that moment.

I worry that this is the captain’s ghost of us, want to hastily evacuate, but the underwater turbulence is raging, if you do not catch the wreck will be difficult to approach the surface, the stern of the propeller whirring wildly, will be floating in the wreckage of the wooden ship rolled a shattered, hull fragments with the turbulence surging back and forth, the Mary Sennou also shaking the ground like a tremor is not, we are attached to the wreck trying to fix the body is particularly tight, not to mention the desire to move upward. We were attached to the wreck and it was very hard for us to fix our bodies, not to mention trying to move upward.

Underwater this sudden tremor suddenly stopped, the propeller suddenly emerged from a swirling current, the dark bottom of the water poked out a few huge tentacles full of suckers, as if a large gray sea serpent climbed up along the wreckage, the original Maricenna sank into the ruins, just to suppress the king squid’s cave, it will be trapped in it, usually only rely on the tentacles to feed on aquatic species passing through the entrance of the cave, it may be that just now is a king squid! The squid was plucking the propeller blades of the wreck, and when it sensed a living creature crawling out of the wreck, it immediately extended its tentacles and rolled them in.

I saw the underwater green-gray giant close to the shipwreck attack, can not help but heart gall blown, if it is on land hit what zombie beasts, gritting their teeth at least can escape with their lives, but in deep water, the water pressure makes it difficult to act slowly, the big king of the deep sea squid can drag the sinking ship, if not the heavy cruise ship original also can not press it, the four of us know which is powerful, had to climb the hull of the ship in the turbulence, desperately trying to go up.

But the human action again fast, underwater and how fast than the deep sea monster, a thick as a water tank of gray tentacles in a flash has arrived behind, turbulence in my hands to hold unsteady, “Poseidon’s dazzle” underwater searchlight fell out of hand, immediately by the king squid’s tentacles rolled in the light immediately extinguished, more than a dozen kilograms of sunken searchlight in the long full of suction cups in the tentacles. In the tentacles full of suction cups, was immediately rolled into a piece of paper.

The king squid threw off the searchlight, violently stretching tentacle feet, towards the ancient Gu Cai when the head cover down, under the foot of the dense size of the suction cups, like countless suddenly open eyes, ancient Gu Cai in the wreckage of the ship to look back, around his underwater valor, after all, the age is still small, but also could not help but stunned dumb, froze in the water, and even forgot to dodge to resist.
