Chapter 299: 298. Fish, Bandage, Four-eyed Kid_1
What was sealed inside the temple where this obelisk stood didn’t require much thought for Lu Ban; it was definitely sothing that was not good for this world.
Even if the other party had no good or bad intentions and simply wanted to get out, the re appearance of this island would trigger a massive storm that covered half the Pacific Ocean, and if it really got out, that would be the end of it!
Lu Ban could not, in good conscience, allow these creatures to set foot on the island.
However, Lu Ban was not clear about the strength of the other party. Now that he was almost invisible under Feng Yu’s power, it was a good opportunity to watch from the sidelines and gather so intelligence.
The only thing Lu Ban was worried about was the possibility that Feng Yu would join these creatures in deceiving him, creating an “Emperor’s New Clothes” scenario where Lu Ban thought he was invisible, but in fact, he was not, and the group would pretend not to see him and perform, which would be awkward.
He could only choose to trust Feng Yu.
The old squad leader probably wouldn’t betray him, probably.
“You still have a bit of conscience left, otherwise I would have wasted so much effort to save you.”
Feng Yu’s voice suddenly ca, making Lu Ban startle.
“Can you still read my inner thoughts?”
Lu Ban couldn’t help but ask in return.
“Your thoughts are written all over your face, why would I need to read them?”
Feng Yu said with disdain.
“That’s true.”
What expression Lu Ban had on his face, what words were written, he probably wasn’t as clear about as Feng Yu.
They say a mother knows what her child has in his stomach, knows everything he thinks; Feng Yu could now truly be considered the worm inside Lu Ban’s stomach.
The three individuals were gazing at the island from the front of the deck, conversing in low voices.
“The difficulty of this mission has even reached [tamorphosis]; it’s hard to imagine what kind of dangers lie in such an environnt.”
The voice of the guy wrapped in bandages had an electronic effect, like the lead singer of a band, his words echoing off their own accord.
Lu Ban decided to na him Bandaged People.
“Why has this ship appeared here? We were supposed to enter the ruins to find the seal, so why did we suddenly co to this ship?”
The rman seed to be the least experienced of the three, speaking with uncertainty.
Lu Ban decided to call the rman rman.
“The biggest challenge we are facing right now is to get this thing moving, or should we just dive in and swim over?”
The person with four eyes patted the railing of the ship, asking tentatively.
Lu Ban decided to call him Four-eyed Kid.
While the three were conversing, Lu Ban stood by, listening carefully.
From their conversation, it was clear that these three were the Chosen by Gods, and they had a system similar to the Silent Lands from their Divine Beings. Their mission this ti was to unlock the seal of so indescribable great existence inside the temple on the island.
At the sa ti, their current mission difficulty was [tamorphosis], which was the highest difficulty level Lu Ban had ever encountered.
“A [tamorphosis] difficulty mission, it seems that dangers are everywhere here, I need to be careful as well.”
Lu Ban murmured, looking out at the sea. His True Sight penetrated the sea surface, peering into the azure depths that sunlight could barely reach. Lu Ban roughly glanced within fifty ters below the surface and saw no strange creatures.
In fact, when a storm approaches, most schools of fish dive deeper to avoid the waves, and creatures like whales and dolphins try hard to leave the hurricane area, with the unlucky ones ending up as corpses in the ocean.
“Could the danger be on this ghost ship?”
Lu Ban grew curious. According to Feng Yu, she too had boarded this ghost ship and was severely polluted and corroded. Thus, could there be sothing extrely dangerous aboard?
“There is a foreign monster on this ship; I’m not sure who left it here, but it’s very troubleso. Do not let yourself be in complete darkness.”
Feng Yu reminded him.
The creature that could give Feng Yu, who possessed the ability to avoid most things, a tough ti must be formidable.
Lu Ban materialized the “Testant” in his hands.
“These ships must have an engine system, I’ll go check it out, this is what I’m best at, what do you guys think?”
The Bandaged People asked.
“I’ll stay here to check out the situation, the storm might change.”
Four-eyed Kid didn’t seem to want to enter the dark cabin.
“I, I’ll go with you.”
The rman followed the Bandaged People.
“Splitting up, that’s a big taboo in horror movies.”
Lu Ban comnted, if this were in a common horror movie, those two returning to find Four-eyed Kid’s corpse would an the Director had been exceptionally kind-hearted. Most of the ti, the person who ends up alone is bound to et a terrible fate.
He chose to follow the Bandaged People.
Mainly because Lu Ban was also curious about what exactly was inside the ship and why the creature existed there.
After all, it was strange enough to be transported directly to the ship from the ruins of Pohnpei Island. Why wouldn’t the Divine Being that brought the Chosen by Gods to this world just drop them off at the entrance of the Temple instead of on Pohnpei Island?
Like Lu Ban, so missions aren’t about opening the door and confronting the final boss directly. There is a certain process involved. At first glance, this process seems normal and reasonable, but what’s the point of such a problematic interdiary step for the Divine Beings?
The sunlight gradually thinned, and upon reaching the corridor, aside from glimpses of the azure sea and the looming stormwall through the round windows, there was boundless darkness.
Fortunately, it wasn’t absolute darkness, and the path was still visible.
The doors of the rooms along the corridor were all open, with various items arranged inside as though the residents had just left.
Lu Ban could see changed clothes, half-finished glasses of alcohol, open books, and television sets that were on but only displaying static.
The Bandaged People and the rman walked at the forefront, with Lu Ban following behind, appearing like a trio at first glance.
“I feel sothing is not right up ahead.”
The Bandaged People suddenly stopped.
The rman was startled and hurriedly stopped as well.
Lu Ban was slightly behind, about to bump into the rman.
But just as Lu Ban was about to make contact, the rman’s back sohow sidestepped Lu Ban, sending him crashing towards one side as if he’d been pushed.
Thud—
The rman collided with the wall of the corridor, letting out a pained howl.
“What happened?”
The Bandaged People turned back in alert, only to see the rman colliding with the corridor involuntarily.
“I, I don’t know, sothing pushed …”
The rman imdiately defended himself.
But when he looked behind him, he found nothing there.
A thrilling sensation spread down his spine.
The Bandaged People asked the rman to step back and extended their bandage-wrapped hand themselves, sweeping it through the space where Lu Ban had been.
“…Nothing?”
The Bandaged People retracted their arm, questions flickering in their solitary eye.
