[How about it? Did you have fun talking? ] Doug joked.
Austin ignored him and began to try to call Mariano: "Mariannu, have you found the accordion player Kaka?"
"No." Mariano replied almost instantly.
"Then don't look for it yet. I'm afraid we can't deal with it alone."
"OK."
[Cowardly? If it doesn't work, let me do it instead. ]
Austin's mouth twitched, wanting to curse.
Opening Benjamin's voyage diary, Austin's mouth twitched even more.
When was this thing updated? Even if it's adapted from real events, wouldn't he be able to get lost?
"Mariannu, how did you get to Gargoyle Atoll?"
"Prince Ansha's special ability can basically be used as a navigator."
"Didn't you have a fight with Kaka the accordion player?"
"No, I didn't know it was his fault at the time. If I knew, I would definitely beat him up." Austin felt Mariano roll his eyes when he said this.
"Captain, there's something unusual outside." Just when Austin was about to say a few more nonsense, Oliver hurriedly opened the door and said with a solemn expression.
Austin frowned and followed Oliver out of the captain's cabin. Once outside, the melodious sound of the accordion could be heard in his ears.
[Accordion player Kaka? ] Doug reacted immediately.
"Most likely." Austin's expression became serious and he shouted, "All crew members plug their ears with cotton or paper balls! Concentrate, recite the "Royal Soldier Code", and don't think randomly!"
This is the best way to deal with a spiritual attack at sea that uses sound as a medium, and is highly recommended by Mariano.
"Is Henry awake?" Austin asked.
That guy is basically a tin man and is immune to some of the effects of this situation.
"I just woke up a while ago."
"Call him to the deck. You go to the helm. Let Martin go to the cabin to take command. Be ready to fight at any time. Pay attention to the orders of the brass pipe."
Oliver nodded and left quickly.
Austin did not block his ears, but listened intently to the melodious music, trying to discern the direction.
"Mariannuo, the accordion player is here with me. You'd better come here quickly."
"knew."
The sound of the accordion was mixed in the sea breeze, sometimes near and sometimes far away, so ethereal that Austin couldn't tell the direction of the sound for a while.
A few seconds later, the sound of the piano suddenly changed its style, from the original melodious and soft to a joyful and lively one. All the muscles in Austin's body seemed to start to tremble with the music, and they began to twitch uncontrollably.
"Boss, did you call me?" Dr. Henry jumped over and it was difficult to evaluate whether his current mental state was affected.
Austin originally just wanted him to prepare for battle, but then he thought about it and asked: "There is a ghost ship trying to attack us now. The attack method is sound waves. Is there anything you can do?"
"Huh?" Henry seemed a little surprised.
"Um, I mean, from the perspective of alchemy technology, are there any good methods, or inventions?" Austin scratched his head, "As the times progress, some things will always be eliminated, just like using knives in the past. Like with a gun.”
The two bars on Henry's face flashed, and then he ran back to the bottom cabin: "Boss, hold him, I will come later."
[Do you believe him? ]
"Try it and it doesn't cost any money. The rest will be left to you. Your sense of danger will be more effective."
Doug grinned: "Don't worry, we will definitely win!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Doug's heart felt a stabbing pain, as if someone had stabbed him hard. The next moment, he subconsciously shouted to the copper pipe: "Full right rudder, full speed ahead, watch out for collision!"
The steel battleship turned at full speed, splitting waves on the sea, and sailed forward with the surging black-green water.
Doug looked at the sea and was horrified. Then a huge black shadow broke through the sea, grazed the side of the August Lion and floated to the surface. It violently hit a huge hole on the starboard side of the battleship, along with the entire The battleships all tilted to the left.
"The starboard side engages the enemy! A crack appears! The watertight hatch is closed, and the port side is filled with water to maintain balance! The gunner judges the timing of firing by himself!"
The black hull rose slowly like a mountain with the cheerful accordion sound. Doug barely stood up straight, his pupils trembling, and he kept cursing in his heart.
[damn it! I just picked up a new boat! Doug! Fuck this bitch! ]
"Don't worry, we are in big trouble this time. Let's live first." Doug looked at the densely lit red dots on the "mountain" and murmured with a wry smile.
[Accordionist Kaka] is the most "like" ghost ship that Doug and Austin have ever seen. The dark and damaged hull, the broken mast like a ridge, the seaweed wrapped around the hull, the barnacles and marine life all over the hull - everything is so consistent with the three words "ghost ship", except that I don't know where it came from. Where does the cheerful accordion BGM come from.
"Who can tell me." The corners of Doug's mouth began to twitch, "Why are there fucking stone bats on the ghost ship sinking at the bottom of the sea?"
"Don't worry, I'm almost there." Mariano's calm voice sounded in her heart.
"Thanks to you, I'm dying too."
Before he finished speaking, the dense red dots began to move, and the sound of flapping wings even overshadowed the cheerful sound of the piano for a moment, and a large piece of stone bats rushed over like they were desperate.
At the same time, the alchemy artillery also began to roar, and the special magical artillery shells bombarded the side of accordion player Kaka at close range, smashing out fireworks mixed with barnacles and sawdust.
The cheerful sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and suddenly changed into the roar and roar of the storm. The bats in the sky became restless, twisted into a bunch of tornadoes in the air, and slammed into the battleship.
Doug laughed wildly amidst the sound of the piano and the gunfire. The tearing pain in his heart was like a signal of attack. He jumped up on the railing and jumped onto the deck of accordionist Kaka without hesitation.
[Ship, boat, boat! ] Austin was heartbroken.
"Catch the thief first! Capture the king first!" Doug shouted, splitting the attacking bat with a knife with his right hand, firing several shots with his left hand, creating a gap, and then kicked open a wooden door on the stern.
Dr. Henry also kicked the door open, ran onto the deck with Ma Fei, and then looked around blankly, unable to find the captain.
"No, where are the captains?" Ma Fei tried to steady himself, "Where are they?"
"I can't come!" The horizontal bar on Henry's face flashed very fast, and after he finished speaking, he jumped onto the deck of Kaka, the accordionist.
"Hey, wait for me." Ma Fei shouted, pulled out the two swords from his waist, and followed.
[Can you be more careful? ]
"It's coming, it's coming, don't worry!" Doug walked in the dark corridor, and the music around him unknowingly turned into a light and ethereal tune.
[I feel something is wrong. Are you affected by the sound of the piano? ]
Doug stopped, his mind cleared for a moment, and then he slapped himself hard.
"Fuck!" Doug took a deep breath and looked around, "Where are we now?"
[how could I know? Substitute? I come? ]
"No, no, no, I told you not to worry!"
This is a dark corridor, the air is filled with the sour smell of decay and the salty smell of sea water. Looking around, you can only see black walls covered with a thick layer of unknown substances on both sides, and a small door with a slight light transmittance at the end. .
"It's too dark! It's too dark!" A layer of cold sweat broke out on Doug's forehead.
As soon as he said this, dim lights lit up on both sides of the corridor - they were oil lamps with flickering flames. I don't know why they can burn in such an environment.
The wooden door you came in from was no longer visible. You could only see endless darkness from the direction you came in, and a small door that was out of reach on the other side.
Doug licked his lips, filled the revolver with bullets, and headed in the direction he came from.
When you step on the wet ground, you will feel a disgusting sticky feeling when you lift your feet, accompanied by an uncomfortable squeaking sound.
[Be careful. ]
"Stop talking nonsense, say something useful." Although Doug said that, he still tightened the knife in his hand.
Hiss—pop—pop—
The corner of Doug's mouth twitched, and he turned to look at the black figure that suddenly appeared behind him. It was covered in thick black liquid, and its face could not be seen clearly. The whole "person" was twisted and twitching.
"What?" Doug raised his gun and aimed, and the same dense voice came from behind him.
"grass--"
Accompanying the curse words was a magical bullet that was released from the barrel. A trace of light connected the bullet and the muzzle of the gun, passing through the slimy black figure without any hindrance, leaving a hole burning with flames. But within ten seconds, this little flame was extinguished.
Doug's heart sank. He didn't expect that the magical bullets that were invincible before would be useless now.
"Fuck!" Doug cursed again, and then ran towards the other side of the small door.
When passing by the black shadow, Doug tried to give it a knife, but it was like cutting into the mud, and the feeling of stagnation was disgusting.
So he simply held his head, his heart pounding.
With a "poof" sound, Doug's vision went dark and he felt like he had jumped into the water.
When he saw the light again, Doug found that he was standing on a bare desert, and the dim starlight illuminated the gray-white land in front of him.
"This is where?"
[Do you think I will know? ]
Doug curled his lips and took a tentative step.
Nothing happened.
So he took two more steps forward.
The melodious sound of the piano came to my ears.
"What the hell? Can you drive a boat in the desert?"
Doug reloaded his bullets and looked around warily, not seeing any sign of a ship.
Doug remained tense.
There was a vibration, and the ground suddenly began to disintegrate, and then slowly rose. Doug squatted on the ground, trying his best to stabilize his body.
[We have encountered a fantasy! ]
"Did you just know?"
At this point, both Austin and Doug were stunned.
