Deep Sea Embers
Chapter 2 The Captain of the Lost Home
This is not the first time Zhou Ming came to the "opposite side" through this door.
A few days ago, Zhou Ming woke up and found that he was trapped in his room by some kind of "vision", and after the strange thick fog covered the whole world, he discovered this strange place "opposite" the gate .
After all, that door is now the only exit from his "room".
He still remembers the bewilderment and bewilderment he felt when he opened the door for the first time but saw the deck outside, and even more remembered the shock and panic when he lowered his head for the first time and saw that he had changed his body, but after that, in order to seek The opportunity to break through the predicament, he has boldly carried out several successful explorations on "this side", although he still has not figured out what happened to him, and he has not figured out that this ship appeared outside his "door" "What is the situation of the strange big ship, but at least, he has gained some experience and has some preliminary understanding of this ship.
Like the previous few times, Zhou Ming used the shortest possible time to force himself to get rid of the dizziness caused by passing through the gate, and then immediately confirmed the condition of this body. He checked the short gun in his hand, and by The memory compares all the details, and finally confirms that the items he is carrying are the same as when he left the deck last time.
"...It seems that every time you pass through this door, your body will 'seamlessly switch'... It would be great if you can put a camera on the deck, so you can confirm that you pushed the captain's cabin door and returned to the apartment room Will this body change when the time comes...
"It's a pity that the items of the two 'worlds' cannot pass through the gate, and there is no way to bring the camera over...
"However, the mobile phone in the apartment recorded the scene of passing through the gate from that side. I did walk through the black mist myself... so it is true that the body 'changes' when passing through the black mist Is it like this?"
Zhou Ming muttered, he knew that the way he stood on the deck talking to himself might look a little funny to outsiders, but he had to make some noise, on this empty and deserted weird ghost ship... he Need a little proof to prove that he is still "alive".
A gust of salty sea breeze blew across the deck, shaking the black and blue captain's suit of unknown material. Zhou Ming sighed softly, but he didn't walk towards the deck, but turned around to look at it. Looking at the door behind him.
He put his hand on the doorknob.
Turn the handle, and then just push the door open, he will see a gray-black thick fog, through the thick fog, he will return to the bachelor apartment that he has lived in for many years.
With force in his hands, he pulled the door open.
The slightly heavy oak door made a creaking sound. Inside the door was a slightly dim cabin. In the dim light, one could see exquisite tapestries hanging on the walls, shelves with many decorations, and There is a large nautical table in the center of the room, and there is a small door in the deepest part of the room, with a wine-red carpet in front of it.
Push the door open, and you will return to your bachelor apartment, and open the door, you will be the captain's cabin—and the latter is obviously the "normal facility" on this ship.
Zhou Ming stepped into the captain's cabin, and when he passed the door, he habitually looked to the left—a mirror as tall as a person was fixed on the wall next to it, and "Zhou Ming" was clearly reflected in the mirror. The way it is now.
It was a tall man with thick black hair, a majestic short beard, and deep-set eye sockets. Just by his appearance alone, he seemed to have an aura of calmness. He seemed to be over forty years old, but his heroic appearance The appearance and the oppressive eyes seem to blur this sense of age, and the well-made captain's uniform shows the special identity of the person in the mirror.
Zhou Ming stretched his neck, and made a face in the mirror—he felt that he was an easy-going and friendly person, and the image in the mirror did not match his temperament, but he soon gave up this attempt , because he felt that instead of being friendly in the mirror, he changed from a majestic captain to a psychopathic serial killer...
While Zhou Ming was doing these actions, a slight clicking sound came from the direction of the navigation table. He looked in the direction of the sound without any surprise, and saw A wooden statue of a goat's head is turning its face towards itself little by little—the inanimate block of wood seems to come to life at this moment, and the pair of obsidian eyes embedded in the wooden face are watching here faintly.
The panicked memories of seeing this weird scene for the first time flashed through his mind, but Zhou Ming just cocked his mouth, and he walked towards the nautical table, and the wooden goat's head on the table was also turning little by little. Neck, a hoarse and gloomy voice came from its wooden cavity: "Name?"
"Duncan," Zhou Ming said calmly, "Duncan Abu Normar."
The voice of the wooden goat's head changed from hoarse and gloomy to warm and friendly in an instant: "Good morning, Captain, I am glad to see that you still remember your name—how is your mood today? How is your body today? You slept well last night Well? I hope you had a good dream. Besides, today is a good day to set sail, the sea is calm, the wind is good, cool and comfortable, and there is no annoying navy and noisy crew, sir, you know a noisy crew... ..."
"You're noisy enough." Although it's not the first time Zhou Ming has dealt with this weird goat's head, Zhou Ming still feels a tremor in his brain at this moment. Come out, "Quiet."
"Oh, oh, oh, of course, Captain, you like quiet, and your loyal first mate, bosun, sailor, and lookout knows it all too well. There are many advantages to being quiet, and there was once a medical … …could also be in the field of philosophy or architecture…”
Zhou Ming now felt that not only his brain was shaking, but even his bronchi began to tremble: "I mean, I order you to keep quiet!"
When the word "order" came out, the goat's head finally fell silent.
Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and walked to the nautical table to sit down—now, he is the "captain" of this empty ghost ship.
Duncan Abu Normar, a strange name, a surname that is difficult to pronounce.
He knew this in his mind the moment he walked through the black-gray fog for the first time and stepped on the ship. He knew that his body "over here" was named Duncan, and he knew that he was the ship. The owner of the ship knows that the ship is on a long journey far beyond imagination-he knows this, but only this.
The memory remaining in his mind was vague and thin, so that only the above-mentioned key passages were left, and other details were completely blank, as if he knew that the ship had an amazing sailing plan, but he had no idea where it was going. Well, the original owner of the ship - the real "Duncan Abnomare" - seems to have died a long, long time ago.
And those things left in Zhou Ming's mind are more like the strongest and deepest "impressions" left in the world by a ghost captain after his complete death.
Instinct told Zhou Ming that there was a big problem behind the identity of this "Captain Duncan", especially in the case of supernatural phenomena (talking wooden goat heads) on this ship, the mystery of this Captain Duncan might even mean that something It was a danger that he had never imagined, but he had to wear this name to be able to move safely on this ship.
Because like the wooden goat's head just now, something on this ship is trying to confirm the "captain's identity" at any moment.
Even the ship itself is constantly identifying the captain.
It felt as if it were some kind of insurance policy, as if the captain of the ship could really forget his name at any moment, and if he did forget his name, something extremely terrible and dangerous would happen, That's why it is necessary to set up "checking means" everywhere on the ship.
Zhou Ming didn't know what the consequences would be if "Captain Duncan" forgot his name, but he believed that once he said his name wrongly, there would be no good consequences.
After all, even that wooden goat's head on the nautical table doesn't look like a good person.
But if the name is Duncan Abu Normar, then everything on this ship is quite amiable.
Anyway, they don't look very intelligent.
Zhou Ming—maybe it should be called Duncan. Duncan finished his brief contemplation and memories, and then looked at the open chart on the table.
However, there are no identifiable routes, marks or land on the sea chart, not even a single island can be seen. On the surface of its rough and thick parchment, only large areas of gray-white clumps can be seen that are constantly rolling and undulating. Those off-white, mist-like things seem to cover the original route on the paper, and the only thing that can be seen in the center of the chart is a looming silhouette of a ship in the dense fog.
Duncan (Zhou Ming) has no experience in sailing in the past few decades, but even those who don't know the charts must know that the "normal" charts are not like this.
Obviously, like the wooden goat's head on the table, this chart is also some kind of supernatural item—it's just that Duncan hasn't summed up its usage rules yet.
It seemed that he had noticed that the captain's attention was finally on the chart. The goat's head, which had been quiet for a long time on the table, finally moved again. It began to make a rattling sound of wood rubbing, and its neck twisted slightly. Go, the twisting was relatively restrained at the beginning, but soon the rattling sound reached a level that could not be ignored-in the end, the whole head of this guy started to move ghostly on the base as if the vibration mode was turned on.
Duncan was afraid that if the product continued to smoke, he would dig wood for fire on his nautical table, so he finally couldn't help but glanced at it: "Say."
"Yes, Captain—I want to emphasize again, today is really a good day to set sail, and the Lost Country is waiting for your orders as always! Are we going to hoist the sails?"
