I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain

At some point outside the door frame stood a girl with a strange expression.

The faint blue moonlight squeezed in through the gaps in the doors and windows, and fell fragmentarily on Miss Winster's flawless and soft face.

The fluffy floral pajamas were put on the girl, her head of bright brown hair was blowing in the wind, her blue eyes were as bright as stars and moons, full of doubtful expressions, her two willow-leaf eyebrows were twisted, her light figure was now frozen in place , two slender hands that were as white as snow stayed in the air at a loss.

The sudden situation in front of her made Sophie almost scream, but the good tutor made her react quickly, covered her mouth, and quickly closed the bathroom door with her backhand.

"Idiot, why don't you turn on the light!"

Sophie's face turned red like a steamed prawn, and her tone of voice was deliberately lowered, full of helplessness.

"Appreciate the moon..."

Tu Fu replied dryly, but his heart was full of turmoil. He was definitely in a better mood than Sophie. To be honest, the situation is so embarrassing that he wants to reopen directly to live in another species.

After a simple answer, there was surprisingly unanimous silence inside and outside the door.

Time passed, and Miss Winston, who hadn't seen anything, was already impatiently walking back and forth at the door, and said, "Stupid, haven't you finished washing yet?"

"immediately."

Tu Fu wiped the water droplets on his body, only to realize that the person who got up at night must be in a hurry. Just as he got up, he heard an impatient urging from outside, "I'm coming in."

A strange blush appeared on Sophie's fair face, and she rushed in immediately. Fortunately, Tu Fu got up quickly and grabbed the sliding joint at the corner of the bathtub, which divided the narrow space into two worlds.

Even so, in the quiet bathroom, the atmosphere was almost frozen to the point of embarrassment.

Even the sound of a needle falling to the ground is crystal clear.

At the same time as Tu Fu's heart was beating, Sophie on the other side of the curtain also lightly pressed her chest and moved lightly.

The mist generated by the hot water in the bathtub enveloped the entire bathroom, and even the sound of each other's breathing could be heard clearly.

Tu Fu, who was just taking a bath in the bathtub, raised his hand and turned on the shower on top of his forehead.

The small sound of water flow cannot completely cover the sound of toilet water flow on the other side of the curtain, but it greatly eliminates the embarrassing indoor atmosphere.

After a long time, there was the sound of unpacking clothes from the other side of the curtain.

Before Tu Fu could think of what to say to break the embarrassment, there was a sulky female voice from the other side of the curtain, "Listen, if you dare to spread the news today, you will be finished."

As the door closed with a bang, Sophie rolled her beautiful eyes and returned to her room.

"A good day ends with seeing Tufu."

In a sound of complaints full of resentment, the accident finally came to an end.

Strictly speaking, Sophie Winster was born later than him, so she was still the sister of the original owner. Judging from his previous behaviors, he is an arrogant and wonderful person.

"You don't even want to call me Oni-chan."

Watching the other party go away, Tu Fu made an interesting comment.

Since it is, it is safe.

The most urgent task at the moment is to settle down and collect enough information before thinking of a way to go back.

After figuring it out, Tu Fu went back to his room and lay down on the soft bed. He experienced insomnia for the first time in his life, and glanced at the faint blue moonlight outside the window with distracted eyes.

After experiencing the little embarrassment just now, Tu Fu's panic and irritability when he first arrived was gradually suppressed.

That night, he thought of many things, such as his parents, friends, colleagues, delicious food that he would never eat again, the online world full of trolls, endless overtime classes, and never-ending mortgage... Thinking about it carefully, he suddenly felt that he had traveled through time. It's not bad to come here.

"Ugh."

In the end, all kinds of helplessness and reluctance turned into a sigh in the darkness and floated to the distant place that could not return.

...

Sunrise in the east.

The gloomy blue moonlight has completely faded away, replaced by a touch of golden sun, the early morning twilight shines through the glass window, and scattered light shines into the bedroom.

Cuckoo, cuckoo~

A noisy mechanical bird popped out of the cabin, vibrating its wings and making an exaggerated scream.

The chaotic crowing of cuckoos came from the next door and the room downstairs at the same time, one after another in an endless stream, quite like a scene where all the chickens in the village were crowing at the same time.

Tu Fu, who hadn't slept all night, went into the bathroom to wash up early, took a hand of clean water and patted his cheek gently.

There was already a smell of delicious food from the kitchen downstairs.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw a beautiful woman with a beautiful face and charm, who was meticulously serving mashed potatoes, buttered bread and milk on different plates.

The lady he called "Aunt Anfeier" actually didn't like herself very much. She was always afraid that the original owner would cheat on her family's rich cabbage, just like Uncle Ethan hooked up with her once.

"Honey, you must be an angel sent by heaven to save me, hiccup~"

Sitting next to him on the sofa and drunk was Uncle Ethan, a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body, a naive look, and a large-scale receding hairline.

The aunt gave him a blank look, and impatiently helped her husband to the dining table: "Sooner or later, your angel will miss the life in heaven and return to the embrace of the Lord."

In Tu Fu's memory, the current adoptive father, Ethan, was a glorious Sergeant Major of the Kingdom's Royal Army when he was young. Perhaps due to luck, he participated in almost all the defeats of the Baia Kingdom in the first half of his life.

Relying on luck against the sky several times, he got down from the meat grinder battle where the dead were everywhere, and survived all the soldiers of the same period until he retired.

In other words, to describe this uncle's legendary experience: "He has been a soldier all his life, but he has never won."

Not long after retiring from the military, he hooked up with a lady from a wealthy local businessman. The one who violated the rules got on the bus first and then bought the ticket. The two finally walked into the marriage hall under the witness of God while cursing with the woman's family. They were born smoothly two months after their marriage. next girl.

Although the relationship between the adoptive parents is very good after marriage, small quarrels cannot be avoided in life.

Uncle is now arranged by the government to become a prestigious junior police chief in the Leeds City Police Department.

Of course, this "prestige" means that Uncle Ethan has no self-motivation at all, and the rate of solving crimes since he took office can be said to be 50-50 of that of Kogoro Mouri before he fell asleep.

Because of Uncle Ethan's straightforward and aggressive style of veterans, most people also stay away from him. Because of this, I have been working in the municipal government for a long time, but because I can't understand many things and offend people, I have been unable to get a promotion.

My aunt lived in the market for a long time after she got married, and she gradually got into the bad habit of mocking her husband.

But Tu Fu knew that the warm-hearted Uncle Ethan lent a large sum of money to invest in his relatives a few years ago. Unfortunately, under the influence of the turbulent war, stocks and bonds have become a pile of waste paper.

In order to maintain the family's expenses and the tuition fees of her two children, Aunt Anfeier secretly pawned half of the dowry jewelry she brought from her natal family.

This seemingly happy and wealthy middle-class family is actually overwhelmed.

soon.

As Tu Fu finally sat down, my aunt put the breakfast that had been prepared for today on the dining table, and the family of four gathered at the dining table.

"Children, don't go out at night." Ethan sat on a chair and warned as the head of the family, "There have been several mysterious incidents in Leeds, and the frequency is higher than before."

Sophie thought for a while, "Does the police department not care?"

Mentioning this, Ethan became angry, "We've been in charge of the release of life church recently, and we can't spare any manpower at all. You will never guess what these idiots have released this year."

The Freeing Life Church mentioned by Uncle Ethan is a group of people who claim to save the future of mankind.

They all call themselves "great benevolent people", claiming that human beings have done many sinful things for the sake of development, and they need to do good things to make up for it.

Therefore, the Fangsheng Church will release a batch of creatures into the river every year at this time.

Including but not limited to crocodiles, tortoises, and scavengers, a series of spiritual creatures drown an unknown number of terrestrial species every year, which can be described as immeasurable merit.

"There's nothing stupider than releasing piranhas." Sophie sneered and brought up last year's theme.

Last year, the piranhas released by the Freedom Church ate almost all the aquatic products off the coast of Poria, causing the fishermen in Leeds to have no harvest for a whole year, and the disaster has been endless.

Ethan smiled like a child, you are still too young, "No, it's a hundred times stupider than this. Because this year's theme is to release life...tap water."

Hearing this answer, the whole family silently took a mouthful of mashed potatoes.

It's really a meal operation.

"It's really incomprehensible."

Tu Fu also had a helpless expression on his face, "Nature spends so much effort to bestow gifts on human beings, I probably never imagined that these nature's porters would bring them back."

finished talking.

The family atmosphere suddenly quieted down.

Seeing the serious expressions of the Winsters, Tu Fu suddenly became nervous, wondering if he had said something wrong.

"Nature's porters."

Uncle Ethan was obviously interested in this combination of words, and immediately laughed, "That's right, my husband, you have a better sense of humor than before. You're right. In my opinion, the most worthy of release are the brains of members of the Church of Life."

"But when the zombie excitedly opened the skulls of the members of the Free Life Church, they could only walk away disappointed."

Tu Fu shrugged, and continued to slander with the trend.

This is a folktale from the south of Baia to coax children. It is said that zombies always crawl in from door to door every night, find those children who don’t sleep well at night, and eat their brains.

It's really a good bedtime poison.

"I guess you won't be replaced by someone's soul."

This time, even Sophie couldn't help but look at this familiar yet unfamiliar family member curiously.

The original owner was originally an introverted, sensitive, and self-respecting person. High-quality complaints like today's are relatively rare.

It's no wonder that the Winsters all looked surprised.

"A very accurate guess, even the goddess of wisdom applauded you." Tu Fu was taken aback, but smiled and pretended to be calm: "This is a century-old joke comparable to "tap water is life."

Sophie pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, and then pushed forward the breakfast that had moved a few mouthfuls. Miss Winster's stomach, which was losing weight, was as small as a hamster.

"Sophie, wasting food is a shameful thing."

The aunt scolded her displeasedly, and then Sophie pushed the dinner plate in front of Tu Fu as a matter of course, and then looked up with a proud little expression.

"Thank you for your generosity."

Tu Fu, who had been hungry for months, was overjoyed by the small amount of breakfast, and devoured two breakfasts in one go, regardless of his image.

Aunt Anfeier put her hand on her forehead speechlessly, "Oh, man, you must pay attention to etiquette when eating out in the future, otherwise people will think that Winston's family has gone bankrupt."

In terms of slandering people, Aunt can always find a unique angle.

After simply finishing the meal, Uncle Ethan had already changed into a uniform with a badge, and there were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with at work.

"Boys, it's time for me to go to work. Have a great day."

Tu Fu still has a little impression of the "police department" where his uncle works. In addition to maintaining social order and solving crimes, he sometimes encounters mysterious and supernatural factors that ordinary people cannot understand.

Soon, Tu Fu also changed into a Leeds College uniform and was ready to go to school.

A black pullover with a white shirt collar, a brown western coat, and a pair of sturdy gray trousers. Baia Kingdom's uniform is known for its simple and solid craftsmanship and monotonous color palette.

Although it is not ugly, it is not good-looking either. Fortunately, the green young man in the mirror exudes infinite charm, and it looks radiant when paired with it.

Sophie's school uniform for girls is a hoodie, a bowknot, a white and red knee-length plaid skirt, and two smooth and white slender legs that make people uneasy, but add a touch of charm to her beauty. youthful radiance.

Although it was just a breakfast, Tu Fu had a full understanding of this host family.

He noticed that his sister's clothes were always decent and elegant, and his aunt, who came from a wealthy businessman and was well-educated, was quite skilled. The clothes she sewed for her children were not high-end, but they would never be shameful.

But my aunt herself hasn't bought new clothes for a long time, she always changes the old clothes again and again.

Although he always complained that the original owner was too edible, he never starved him. Even if he didn't like joining by himself, he never deducted any living expenses that should be given.

When I looked again at the beautiful woman who was diligently doing housework in the kitchen and still complaining about how unlucky she was to be in this family.

It doesn't seem so annoying anymore.

...

The location of the Winster family's house is Crescent Street, which is ten kilometers away from Leeds Comprehensive College and needs to cross thirteen streets.

Fortunately, not far from the door, there is a traffic map on the traffic platform, which clearly marks the general route map of Leeds buses, and many people are already waiting in line.

Soon, with a loud roar, Tu Fu was pulled back by Sophie, and said lightly: "Be careful not to be stepped on."

Soon, he understood the meaning of this "step".

After a cloud of dust, what appeared in front of him was a steel behemoth speeding along the highway.

The brass-cast front sprayed out a long black mist, and the steam sprayed into the engine cylinder to push the piston. This precision was driving a set of wheels and a dozen or so carriages forward.

What surprised people was the front, eight strong horses were put on the reins, their thick hooves were wrapped by metal protective gear, and they dragged the steam locomotive to turn wildly.

"Horse... a horse-drawn train?"

Even though he was mentally prepared, Tu Fu was still taken aback when he saw him.

Sophie caught a glimpse of his unfamiliar expression, and snorted in a mocking tone, "The Leeds Transport Department ran out of money when they built the urban railroad, and they didn't complete all the tracks.

Finally, when the citizens couldn't bear it, the Department of Communications transported a black pack horse, an alien species that can carry a thousand catties, from the Southern Continent. The steam power drives the carriages, and the horses control the direction to connect the rails. This is a unique scenery in Leeds. "

"Unbelievable."

Tu Fu was silent. He didn't expect the traffic department and the Fangsheng Church to appear in the small city of Leeds.

I just don't know if eating hot pot and singing are allowed in the car.

The moment the train stopped, the waiting crowd at the station rushed in. Tu Fu and Sophie also squeezed into the compartment together, and put in a penny as the fare.

"drive!"

Seeing that all the passengers had arrived, the driver who was manipulating the reins straightened his top hat, and walked away with the dust all over the sky.

Eight fine horses drove the train carriages, and they rampaged on the Crescent Street Highway. The bumps along the way made Tu Fu's face turn pale, and he almost felt sick.

Facts have proved that no matter what era the bus driver has a racer dream.

Looking at the city full of Gothic and Baroque buildings similar to the previous life, a large number of airships are flying back and forth in the sky, and steam carriages are galloping on the ground. Those fools of the Fangsheng Church are happily giving back to nature on the river bank.

An indescribable sense of weirdness permeates this steel forest full of steam technology.

The whole city is like a grotesque old picture scroll.

Looking at this city spliced ​​by countless steam monsters, Tu Fu couldn't help but sigh;

"A real man should be a Transformer."
