Chapter 288
A gathering between Anomaly Bureau colleagues, Donald thought it was supposed to be an intelligence exchange and a team exchange between investigators.
Although he didn’t plan to team up with anyone, that didn’t stop him from sitting down and listening to some intel.
However, after sitting down for less than 10 minutes, Donald regretted it. He suddenly realized that no matter where the strangers meet, there are probably several stages.
at first I don’t know anyone, it’s fun to introduce each other, hello, hello, everyone.
Then find a topic, such as the Phantasmal Island they are going to go to now. At first, they were talking about the places to pay attention to on the Phantasmal Island. body jacket.
For example, when talking about a kind of exotic beast, someone will bring the topic to themselves, take out one or two pieces of equipment to display, and then someone will display it for the sake of holding it.
Talking about the price of equipment, how difficult it is to make, and how difficult it is to get it.
The people next to them pretended not to hear, so they had to echo a few words, which was considered a face to the other party.
After that, there is mutual praise, such as how powerful someone completed a task some time ago. The person being touted usually has to be humble and then bring the topic back to the person just now. on the body.
In the words of Donald’s past life, this is called business blowing.
This kind of touting naturally has its purpose, in order to show its superiority in front of other people, and then make some people with brain circuits as straight as the 200-meter track take the initiative to post it, in order to join them. And do some “effort” that Donald thinks is a bit humiliating.
It turns out that the people Anomaly Bureau is looking for are not necessarily elites, and saying that battle strength has never been equated with IQ.
Of course, Donald, who is the Inscription Master and the wizard, is the one who is sought after. Even if he sits next to him and doesn’t say a word, there are still people who take the initiative to make friends.
Shaked seven or eight hands in a row, and had some brief conversations with these people, the smile on his face was tired, and Donald chose to give up.
It’s not that Donald refuses to socialize, he just thinks that interacting with these people doesn’t make much sense. If he needs teammates, he will naturally join in, and even become the person who chooses. But it’s not necessary right now.
Rejecting everyone’s invitation to form a team, quietly exited the tavern in the cabin, and returned to her room along the corridor. Lilo was sitting cross-legged on the bed, her face facing the opened window.
Looking at the time, it was already 8:30 in the evening. Donald was shivered by the sea breeze at night, and his dull mood picked up.
“It’s better here, it’s comfortable, Lilo, you promised me to close the window.”
Going to the bed, leaning on the quilt, looked at Li next to him Luo said.
“Oh.”
Get up and close the window, imitating Donald to lean against the bedding, and after a while, turn to his side for the convenience of drinking lemon juice.
“Lilo, can I turn off the lights?”
Looking at the sound of the ocean tide outside, Donald did not choose spell Cultivation, but communicated with Lilo through spirit strength. ready to rest.
He didn’t get a good rest due to the busyness of this period. He will be close to the destination in the evening tomorrow. When the time comes, there will be a jungle adventure. He has to let him as much as possible. Your physical strength is maintained at the Peak state.
Pa Da
The lights are turned off, the sound insulation in the cabin is not bad, even the sound of the tide outside can’t be heard, but occasionally some passengers can be heard weakened footsteps after.
“Good night.”
Don’t take off his clothes, this is Donald’s habit when he is outside. He takes Finger into his arms as a warm water bag and falls asleep quickly.
Lilo on the other side turned to look at Donald, she didn’t understand why the person in front of her wanted to say goodnight, and she didn’t quite understand the meaning of these etiquette words.
But she still opened her mouth, imitating Donald’s pronunciation before speaking, silently making two mouth shapes, and then turned back to look at the sea outside.

At 5:00 in the morning, the co-captain came up from the cabin wearing a cold coat and carrying a whale oil searchlight. The coldness of the late autumn morning made him Rubbing his hands as he walked, the whale oil lamp swayed around, and the light beam passed through the thin mist around him. The hazy feeling made people look like they were still in a dream.
Crossing the deck to the captain’s room, the captain has been on the boat all night, and there are empty bottles of drinks for refreshing beside the rudder.
“Captain, go and rest, and leave it to me next.”
Putting his hands through the sleeves of the overcoat, the co-captain took the jug handed by the captain. Taking a sip, a burning sensation rushed into my mind, dispelling tiredness and laziness.
“Be careful, we are carrying a ship of uncles here. If there is an accident, it is not a reason for an overseas accident to prevaricate.”
They can drive ships of this level , in the eyes of the ordinary person, the status is already high, but in the eyes of most of the passengers on the ship, it is no different from those who walk on the street.
This mentality naturally makes some heretics look down on them.
They have experienced a lot, and in private they will also ridicule the heretics as uncles.
Of course, at most it was said in the presence of only one of my own people.
“Don’t worry, you can’t trust my skills? I had a good night’s rest last night… It’s a pity that Maggie didn’t go to sea with her this trip.”
>
“Haha, you bastard, I knew you couldn’t forget Maggie’s big ass, and I’m going to meet her in my dream soon.”
The man at sea, in his mouth There are always a lot of dirty jokes. Carrying the searchlight brought by the vice-captain, he walked out of the captain’s room and walked along the deck next to the cabin stairs.
Accidentally found that there were loops of rope scattered on the ship’s gunwale, frowned, as the captain, after whispering a few words to the sailor who was on duty last night, he leaned up and re-arranged the ropes.
The searchlight was placed on the side of the boat, and the light happened to face the water outside.
嘭oh la la
Suddenly, the sound of something heavy falling into the sea and splashing water came from the side, and the captain thought that it could not be on the deck. I hurriedly turned back to the searchlight to take a look around, for fear that something important would fall into the sea.
However, when he straightened up and turned to the side of the ship, what he saw was a once-black “wall”!
And the huge round eye with a dark yellow in the center of the “wall”!
bang
The “wall” suddenly appeared and disappeared overboard, leaving only the sea water that was left to pour the captain’s face!
Sit back a few steps, the captain’s mouth open, speechless.

Donald was woken up in his sleep. He suddenly sat up from the bed, but his mind was stunned by the temporary lack of oxygen supply.
“Who! What’s the matter… Lilo, what happened?”
At first he thought he was still in the villa, but when his reason gradually came to his mind, he realized Lilo, who was standing beside her bed, and her hand holding her quilt, realized that she was on a boat.
Donald knew that Lilo wouldn’t wake him up because of some trivial matter, it must be because she thought that something had affected the safety of the two of them.
The sanity has completely returned, and the sound of dense footsteps can be heard in the corridor outside. Donald can’t help but feel a little nervous. This is Osway Overseas, and their voyage is nearly a day. The worst result is a shipwreck, when the time comes, relying on the power of his own demon, I don’t know if I can return to the continent…
“Look outside.”
Lilo interrupted Donald’s wild thoughts, Pointing to the window of the bed cabin, she didn’t need to sleep, so she watched the sea all night until just now.
She saw something different.
Put on the boots she put on the bed, go around Lilo’s bed, put her hands on the window frame, and reach out to wipe off some of the mist from above.
“It’s nothing.”
He glanced at the sea water outside, except for the mist in the early morning, there was only a large piece of sea water glowing with azure black. The hair that fell in front of him was pushed aside, and Donald turned his head and looked towards Lilo.
“There is something in the sea.”
Lilo’s response was very simple, Donald could only turn his head back and stare hard at the sea water outside the window.
About 3 minutes later, Donald’s line of sight down, probably less than 5 meters below the water surface from the window, compared to the surrounding sea water, a huge shadow is drawing from the bottom of the boat Pass.
The shadow was moving forward, and it took five seconds for Donald’s line of sight to see the shadow gradually shrink and finally disappear into the sea.
banging
There was a violent impact, Donald didn’t have time to react, the whole person looked towards the back and fell backwards, the backpack on the bedside table also slipped directly in the impact, It slammed into place with a dull sound.
“Shit, what the hell is this monster?”
Rao had seen the giant toad in Searle Lake in Tallinn District, Donald couldn’t help but swear at this moment .
wu wu wu
The siren representing the alarm resounded throughout the cabin corridor, and it was clear that others had spotted the guy in the sea.
“There are sea monsters attacking the ship, passengers who are able to go to the deck to gather immediately!”
“I repeat, this is not a simple Sea Beast attack, there are huge The sea monster attacked the ship, please come to the deck to help the capable passengers, if the ship capsizes, no one will be able to run!”
The voice in the announcer became louder and more anxious, and the situation of meeting the Sea Beast at sea can be said to be It often happens that large ships of this size often don’t care about the usual Sea Beast harassment, and can use special alerts and notify the sea monsters that the whole ship is looking for help.
You don’t have to think about it, you know it’s a big guy!
“Lilo, grab your backpack, let’s go to the deck, remember to stand with me, you must not be too far away from me, Finger, go back to the backpack!”
Donald grabs He picked up his backpack, let Finger jump in, zipped up the zipper and put it on his back, took a few steps outside to the door, and there was a pendant in the shape of a drop of water in his neck appearing out of thin air.
Rain’s demon ability has been activated, he must consider the worst.
