Shall we go to open up the wasteland together tomorrow?
Chapter 38: Heavenly Punishment
The stairs to the next floor were not long. After a while, Ethan felt the solidity under his feet.
"Sniff~"
Ethan frowned, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder between his breath.
Unfortunately, this floor was still very dark, and he could only rely on him to slowly explore.
But he soon found out the reason.
Six cannons were neatly placed on the entire second floor.
These cannons were quite majestic in appearance, with long gun barrels and thin barrels. They should be products around the 10th century AD.
The power of the cannons at that time was already overwhelming, and the range had also made a qualitative leap.
I just don't know if these antiques from thousands of years ago can still fire.
Ethan shook his head with some regret. Anyway, he couldn't take it away.
"Pah pah pah~"
A skeleton holding a matchlock gun pulled the trigger at Ethan.
Although the matchlock gun was a relatively backward weapon, it would still kill Ethan if it hit him.
But Ethan was not nervous now, because the ship could not ignite a fire.
He had confirmed this repeatedly when he first boarded the ship. The tinder on his body was just a decoration.
A matchlock without a lit matchlock was no different from firewood.
Ethan sneered and slashed the dagger at the opponent mercilessly.
"Ding!"
The matchlock blocked the dagger just in time, and then suddenly turned and stabbed Ethan.
Ethan's dagger slipped and turned and stabbed diagonally.
The knife stabbed into the skeleton and could not penetrate, and could not cause any harm to him.
The opponent took the opportunity to sweep Ethan with the butt of the gun.
Oh my god, it's gun fighting.
Ethan jumped back and dodged.
He put away the knife and turned to use hip-hop fighting.
A slide step, followed by a Thomas spin, the skeleton was easily taken away.
Ethan grabbed a random bone from the pile of scattered bones and threw it far away.
The bone fell on the stairs and rolled down again.
The skeleton could not be reassembled smoothly, so it gave up on Ethan and crawled to find the bone.
"Ding-dong~"
"Ding-dong~"
The sound of forging continued, and the sound was getting closer and closer.
It was vaguely coming from under his feet.
Ethan searched silently in the dark, and soon he was disappointed. There was no entrance to the next floor in the gun room.
This was already the bottom of the ship's side.
Could the entrance of the sound be somewhere else?
No, he denied his idea.
He had searched on the deck before, and there was only this one entrance on the ship.
Could there be a secret room?
If it was a secret room, where would the mechanism be?
Ethan paced back and forth between the six guns.
The stiff cowhide boots made a "dong-dong" clanging sound on the old floor.
Between the third and fourth guns, Ethan suddenly stopped.
"Dong-dong~"
He kicked the wooden board with his foot.
He turned to the other side and did the same thing.
"Kengkeng~"
Sure enough, the sound coming was different, hollow?
Due to the long time of the ship, the wood on the ship has decayed.
The so-called mechanism may have lost its function long ago.
Ethan searched for a long time on this floor but couldn't open it directly, so he planned to use physical therapy directly.
He pried a piece of wood with a knife, and the wood fell off easily.
Looking at the deep space below, his face was slightly happy.
There is a door~
It's here, a hidden secret room.
What are they hiding?
Try to suppress the throbbing in his heart, Ethan exhaled deeply, and jumped down.
"Squeak~"
The floor made a strange cry, but finally landed safely.
Ethan carefully observed the environment of the secret room.
Dark, darker than the hell of the underworld.
Quiet, quieter than the valley in the middle of the night.
Feeling the slippery ground under his feet, Ethan became more uneasy.
"Dingdong~"
"Dingdong~"
The sound was indeed right beside his ear.
Ethan regained his confidence and took a step forward.
"Hehe, hahahaha, you're here~ You're finally here, hahaha~"
A series of silver bell-like laughter, three parts of surprise, three parts of charm, three parts of pleasantness, and one part of chilling desolation in the laughter.
"Wow~"
The light suddenly lit up in the room.
Ethan subconsciously tightened the dagger in his hand and looked at the glowing object.
It was a box, a box wrapped in a faint light.
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong!"
The light on the box flashed.
At the same time, the sound came from this box.
"Pride... jealousy... rage... laziness... greed... gluttony... lust..."
The charming female voice appeared in the box again.
And at this moment, Ethan's mind suddenly popped up an orange box with an Airbus logo printed on it.
Isn't this the airline he took before crossing over?
Could it be... this is the black box of that plane.
As soon as the box appeared, it began to automatically play the voices of the passengers before the plane crashed.
The two echoed each other, and it was obvious that they had a tacit understanding.
"Pride... jealousy... rage... laziness... greed... gluttony... lust..."
Ethan was surprised to find that every time the female voice read a word, the corresponding sin would automatically play in his mind.
"The endless darkness hides the evidence of the gods' crimes."
"The silent space retains the original secret."
"Don't panic, and there is no luck."
"Because each of us is guilty."
...
"Children who have heard of sin, you are qualified to receive my baptism~"
A female voice came slowly.
Ethan was shocked.
Sin? Baptism...! What baptism?
Ethan wanted to refuse. There was an extremely rare baptism ceremony waiting for him in the library of Flo University. He didn't dare to accept the unknown baptism.
But for some reason, he couldn't make a sound in his throat.
His mind was in chaos, and the voices of sin just now were still echoing.
Ethan seemed to have no right to make a choice.
His body walked towards the glowing box involuntarily.
His right hand trembled and stretched forward.
Until he touched the box.
"Buzz~"
At the moment of touch, the boxes overlapped each other and gradually merged into one.
It was suspended in the air, illuminating the entire room.
And Ethan seemed to have lost consciousness, looking ahead with confused eyes.
The woman's voice rose again:
"The one who recorded the voice of sin and came to this world, accept my baptism."
As soon as the voice fell, the box "whoosh" and drilled into Ethan's head.
The black flames suddenly climbed up Ethan's body, and flame lines emerged.
Ethan moved without wind and floated in the air.
The flames burned more and more, but they only attached to Ethan's body, and even his clothes were not burned.
"Give you the power to judge sin."
"Constrain the source of evil."
"When the box is reopened."
"Twilight of the gods will come again."
"The dawn of the world will reappear."
At this time, Ethan felt infinite coolness in his mind, and those chaotic voices finally stopped.
He seemed to have a long dream, in which he was a piece of clay, and the gods gave him life and all the talents.
Only a woman secretly told him, but he couldn't hear what she said.
In the end, he got a black box.
It was wrapped in a layer of mist, hazy and looming, but it was not clear anyway.
Until he woke up again, looking at the blazing flames on his body, he was slightly shocked.
It turned out that everything was because this black box was calling Ethan.
At this time, the name of the baptism ceremony appeared in Ethan's mind: Judgment of Heaven.
I don't know how long it took, the flames gradually subsided, and Ethan finally fell from mid-air.
At this time, Ethan, who had completed the baptism, had a strange ability in his heart, which was the ability of the ceremony itself.
It was called "Sin and Punishment".
Just like the "Greetings from the God of Light" can make people understand the ability of photosynthesis.
Ethan was also lucky.
He quietly felt the changes in his body, as if he had become different, but he couldn't tell where the difference was.
Suddenly a ray of sunlight shone on his face through the deck.
He realized that the darkness of the ruins had faded.
Everything in the room began to become clear.
This is a simple room, so simple that there is no other furniture in the whole room except a small square table.
And the small square table should be the place where the box that made the sound was placed.
The box is gone, only a picture album is left.
The cover shows a majestic ship breaking through the wind in the void, and on one side of the ship is written "Dawn of the World".
Opening the catalog of this illustrated book...
The first article says "Dragon Bone", but it is a blank page after opening it, but there are prologues written on one side of the paper.
"Ancient dragon soaring in the sky."
"Only then can it bear the blow of the sky."
"Hydra lurking in the ghost sea."
"Only then can it not fear the threat of the ocean."
...
Ethan looked at this prologue, which was probably introducing the material of the hull.
Subconsciously turning to the second article "Mast", it was also blank with a prologue.
The third article "Flag", the fourth article "Rudder", the fifth article "Ram", the sixth article "Deck", the seventh article "Room", the eighth article "Anchor", the ninth article "Crew" and the final article "Figurehead" are all like this.
Ethan was silent in his heart. This illustrated book was like a magnificent and colorful encyclopedia of extraordinary species.
He shook his head. The contents were too complicated, so he decided to put the illustrations away and study them later.
Who knew that just when he had this idea, the oak leaf badge on his chest flashed, and the illustrations disappeared.
Ethan was slightly startled, and then ecstatic. His mind moved slightly again, and the badge flashed, and the illustrations appeared in his hand again.
"Fuck, I'm awakened!"
