Chapter 1147: Chapter 882, The Fog that Appears at Night (The power went out at home, written in an internet cafe, the big screen hurts my eyes.) A ghost ship? And a distress letter?
Wu Heng glanced at the Ghost floating beside him, also listening.
Just as he was discussing the ghost ship with two Ghosts, Xi Ligui's call happened to be about this.
“Is it the same ghost ship you told me about a few days ago?”
“Yes! Last night a ship docked, and all the people on it went mad. We used a scroll on the captain to sober him up and asked about the situation,” Xi Ligui paused briefly, then continued, “They encountered the ghost ship and were trapped in the fog for roughly half a month.”
Wu Heng's eyes narrowed, “So, there really is a ghost ship in the Emerald Sea?”
Saying this, he took out the [Jade Sea Sand Table] from his Space Ring, carefully examining every location on the sand table for any sign of a ghost ship or strange vessel.
No sight of a ship resembling the ghost ship.
Or, could there be some Pirate Ship or other vessel, disguised as a ghost ship, plotting something?
Idea after idea emerged in his mind.
“I think there should be, come over first, and let's discuss,” Xi Ligui's voice continued from the phone.
“Okay, I'll come right now,” Wu Heng replied.
He hung up the phone and put it back in his pocket.
The two Ghosts were still floating on one side, and Bella remarked, “See, the crew from the ship that docked last night went mad, and you still didn't believe it.”
“I didn't distrust you, I distrusted those sailors,” Wu Heng said while starting to change his clothes.
Bella also said, “I had my doubts too, a whole ship of madmen, how did they even get here!”
Wu Heng dressed and walked out, with the two Ghosts following behind.
“You're following me out, too?”
Ever since he became a hero, apart from some special matters, Ghosts no longer always followed him as they used to.
Now, they were busier with their affairs most of the time.
After all, given Wu Heng's current strength, not many could threaten him.
Glenda remarked, “To listen to the story of the ghost ship.”
“Right, to check it out with you,” added Bella.
“Alright then!” Wu Heng didn't say much and headed straight out.
Returning to Shanaela's bedroom, the voluptuous Wood Elf, in a burgundy silk nightgown, sat in front of the vanity brushing her hair, still sleepy-eyed.
Seeing him enter, she thought he was there to hurry her and spoke, “Alright already, I'm almost ready.”
Wu Heng stood by her side, wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and said, “We can't go anymore.”
Shanaela's head jerked up, her eyes widened, “Reason!”
“The Association sent news, claiming that last night a ship docked, and the entire crew had seen the ghost ship and gone mad.”
“A ghost ship!” Shanaela's eyes lit up, “You go, find out everything, and then come back and tell us about it.”
Uh…
She changed her attitude quite quickly!
Wu Heng hugged her shoulders, saying, “When we have time, we'll go to the Church together.”
Shanaela got up and burrowed back under the covers, waving her hand, “Go on, tell Mini I won't have breakfast.”
Wu Heng glanced at her, opened the door, and went downstairs.
After greeting the Maids, he directly used [Teleportation Technique] to go to the Association.
Steward's Office.
The elf sisters were sitting at the desk processing documents.
Xi Ligui's brow was furrowed, and Shi Yali was yawning now and then.
Wu Heng gently knocked on the door and walked in, with both sisters lifting their heads to look at him.
“What's the matter?” Wu Heng sat down nearby.
Xi Ligui walked out from behind the desk, handed him the investigation record from last night, and said from the side, “According to the sober captain, the fleet consisted of three ships, and they got lost after being engulfed by the fog.”
Pausing to look at him, she continued, “We suspect the fog carries negative energy, affecting the direction sense of the beings within, as well as gradually causing them to lose their sanity. Old-timers who sail the sea are adept at handling various situations at sea.”
Moreover, they all would have a Ranger on board, and if the scope of the fog isn't large, a Tamed Beast can find their way, usually not getting trapped by ordinary fog for so long.
Shi Yali also came over, taking out her phone, “Here are some photos taken last night.”
Wu Heng took the photos and looked at them; the dim cabin was crowded with huddled sailors, plus the surrounding environment.
It looked like a cluster of monsters nibbling on something together.
“Didn't you say there were three ships? How come only their ship came out?” Wu Heng asked.
The record stated it clearly.
This ship had drifted to the north and was discovered by a patrolling vessel which then towed it back to port.
Xi Ligui remarked, “Unclear, before he went mad, the other two were there, now only they themselves have come out.”
“Was there any monster in the fog?” Wu Heng continued to ask.
Xi Ligui shook her head, “The sober captain said he saw none but could hear some strange sounds, like the scraping of sand and stones.”
No monsters.
Makes sense, otherwise the crew wouldn't have survived.
“The ghost ship?” Wu Heng pressed.
“He saw a ship, the fog seemed to move with that ship, he was sure it was the ghost ship,” Xi Ligui seriously replied.
Meaning, a ghost ship truly appeared in the Emerald Sea.
Whether it was actually ghosts or impersonated by professionals, it had indeed trapped people inside for a long time.
“When the time comes, make a public announcement for all trade fleets to avoid the fog when spotted, and also clarify the approximate area where they got lost,” Wu Heng handed back the investigation record from last night.
“Okay!” Xi Ligui agreed, and then from her Space Ring, she pulled out a letter, “There is also a letter, sent from Holt City requesting assistance.”
Wu Heng is the Jade Sea Flag Bearer.
