Whispering Verse

Bad-eyed Barry lost track of him in the city after night, so they had to act quickly.

The Witch's cruise ship did not sail into the big lake. After the ship was parked, a small steamboat was lowered. Then Shade and Megan - she changed back - took the boat into the lake and sailed in the distance. After seeing the cruise ship on the lake with more than half of the cabins without lights, they instead stepped on the water and headed towards the ship.

If it hadn't been raining heavily, Green Lake would have been very beautiful at night. But since it was raining, Shade was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery.

According to a preliminary investigation by Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals, the cruise ship floating on Green Lake only had the minimum number of sailors on board to maintain the normal operation of the ship while Bad Eye Barry was not on board. And when Shade and Megan jumped on the deck, they found that the situation was exactly as they imagined.

In rainy weather, the sailors rested in their cabins, or gathered together to chat and play cards. Since they were both in a sealed room, this time Megan used "Duart's Stunning Potion," a highly volatile sleeping potion.

The effect of this potion was very good. After Shade threw it in from the hatch on the deck, Megan only waited for five minutes before signaling to Shade that he could go in:

"Drink the antidote first. This potion has a long-lasting effect. Although you can resist the toxins in the fog on the central island and should also be resistant to this potion, it is better to be cautious after all."

For such a large ship, the only things worth searching are Bad-Eye Barry's own room and the captain's cabin. The latter might have the ship's voyage records. Both Shade and Megan suspected that this ship was also the "that ship" on the island. "Mr." has delivered supplies.

The first thing they arrived at was the captain's cabin. Four men were unconscious at the card table. The table was covered with playing cards, wine glasses and all kinds of expensive drinks. It seemed that Bad-Eyed Barry was treating his men pretty well.

The voyage records are indeed here, properly stored in waterproof oil paper.

Shade took out the two most recent books, one each for Megan. After flipping through a few pages, the two found a clue almost at the same time:

"It says - after opening the channel, we officially entered the island. The goods were unloaded at the dock."

A brief record illustrates an important fact:

"Is there a passage on the lake? It leads to another island that we can't see or hear about? Sure enough, the place where Bad-Eye Barry has unloaded goods for the past twenty years is not the central island of Green Lake!"

Shade was very excited about this discovery, while Megan sighed softly and said to Shade:

"Continuing our topic about another island in the afternoon: Do you still remember the first time we landed on the island, and then accidentally encountered space chaos, tentacles and other monsters encountered in the fog? At that time, I based on my father's life experience Just a few words to guess that they come from another space, from another island."

"Please explain it carefully."

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with the fact that there is only one island in Green Lake. But on the back of the normal space, on the 'back' of that island, there is another island that is like a twin brother. I am not sure which one How the island hidden on the 'back' appeared may be a natural phenomenon, or it may be the work of my Thirteen Rings ancestor. But the secret should be all on that island on the back."

Shade asked:

"Including the doors corresponding to those keys?"

Megan pursed her lips and nodded:

"Not sure, but there is a high probability. I have never been to another island, but before I met you, when I landed on the island alone, I fell asleep on the island due to a physical accident, and in my dream I saw the door. That’s why I said, I may not be able to take you to see the door, but I can try next time and sleep with you when I sleep on the island.”

Doctors can also use this technique to dream together. Shade and the doctor have even had many dream adventures using this technique. Of course, dreaming together requires mutual trust, which is actually a very strict requirement.

"Couldn't the fog on the island also emerge from another island? The disaster that led to the destruction of Green Lake Town many years ago was actually related to that island and the real island?"

Shade had a new suspicion, but Meghan just shook her head:

"I actually don't know much about that island. Today I saw the documents of Bad Eye Bali and the navigation records here, and I can fully confirm this. The world is really magical, even if I claim to have knowledge and wisdom, You don’t necessarily know everything.”

"A wise man may not know, but I don't believe that even this captain doesn't know how to enter another island."

Shade looked at the man wearing a captain's hat lying on the table. Of course, he could judge his identity not only because of the hat, but also because of the framed photos in the captain's cabin.

"Mr. Watson, I would like to trouble you to move him away. I want to take him back for interrogation. If the fortune teller of the Thirteen Rings uses a contract or the like to restrict anyone from revealing information, then our Pressure is likely to lead to serious consequences."

Megan said very rationally, and Shade nodded:

"No problem, but now let's go to Bad Eye Barry's room. I don't know much about cruise ships. Where is the best room on a ship like this?"

"Upper level, we..."

The sorceress suddenly froze, then looked outside:

"Someone is coming, and the warning ceremony I arranged on the deck just now was triggered."

"Isn't it the [Mirror Association] again?"

"Go out and have a look."

Megan said, pulling up the hood on her head, Shade picked up the captain and followed her.

From the dry cabin to the deck, the violent storm made people feel like they were two different worlds separated by a door.

The invisible stance opened up to protect Megan and Shade from the rain. Looking at the deck again, the defense measures were indeed triggered, but what appeared on the edge of the deck was not a human, but a water ghost that had just climbed up.

It hunched its waist in the dark night rain, its face close to a fish's face made a ferocious expression, and the back of its human body with fins made a posture about to attack.

At the same time, pairs of hands covered with fish scales appeared on the edge of the deck, and then more water ghosts were trying to climb up from the deck.

The deck is still a certain height from the water. Shade can only imagine that hundreds of water ghosts are stacked together to "push" the top water ghost to a position where it can touch the deck. This was not an accidental intrusion by a water ghost, this was definitely a deliberate attack.

"Are there so many water ghosts in Green Lake... I understand, they are hidden in the waters of another island."

Shade suddenly understood and thought of more things:

"The batch of water ghosts that the church regularly disposes of every year are not deliberately released to confuse the public, right?"

"Oh, I hate the undead the most."

Megan and Shade stood back to back to prevent being attacked from both sides. The yellow moonlight sword has been taken out by Sha De, and the bright yellow light shines dazzlingly and luxuriously in the rainy night:

"Ms. Pharmacist, do you know the art of corpse explosion? Especially the technique of serial corpse explosion."

He still remembered that during the team mission, when the space was chaotic and reached an island, Priest Augustus used the "serial corpse explosion technique" to eliminate a large number of enemies.

"First, I hate the power of the undead; second, the corpse explosion technique is very ineffective against undead that are manipulated by others; third, do you want the sound here to be heard in the city?"

Megan said, feeling the heat coming from her back. The feeling of having someone to rely on made her a little overwhelmed, but she was also a little happy in her heart.

"Is someone controlling it? Let's deal with these things first, Miss Pharmacist, try not to do anything, I'll do it."

He also remembered that although the witch's condition had partially recovered, it was not particularly good.

"But......"

"I'm here. You should still have this little trust in me."

"Okay then, I'll be responsible for dealing with enemies that are very close."

Shade threw the captain to his feet, and while he was talking to Megan, the first batch of water ghosts had already arrived on the deck. Shade did not launch an attack immediately, but pointed at four evenly spaced locations around the two of them:

"Calling Snowball!"

Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!

Four dull crashes occurred one after another, and the deck even let out a groan of dissatisfaction. Then, the dark sin chains flew out of Shade's sleeves, penetrated four snowballs one after another, and trapped the two people in a square shape:

"Thorns of the Moon!"

The red, silver and yellow thorn bushes that glowed in the rainy night emerged from under the deck, and were densely wrapped with chains of sin with five runes.

Because the "Moon Thorns" are used in a non-enclosed space, the blocking ability of the thorn bush is slightly weaker, but it is enough to block the first wave of approaching undead.

After completing the protection, Shade officially began to fight back:

"Moonlight - slash!"

This time he didn't deliberately hold back his hands. Brilliant arcs of silver light flew out from his hands one after another. Because the enemies were all on the same water surface, the light traces flying parallel to the deck could separate the water ghosts in the entire direction into upper and lower parts. Two cuts.

Green Lake in the night rain is not peaceful, with a creepy feeling of loneliness. On the yacht with lights on the lake, the continuous moonlight swept in three directions. No water ghost could block Shade's moonlight.

If the water ghosts are only at this level, then no matter how much they are, it will just be a waste of time. But soon, the entire ship was surrounded by water ghosts from unknown sources. Megan noticed something was wrong faster than Shade:

"The ship is rocking, no, it's sinking. The water ghost has leaked the ship!"

This ship is not theirs anyway, and even if it sinks, it has nothing to do with them. But facing a group of water ghosts on a boat is a completely different battle than facing hundreds or thousands of water ghosts in the water. Shade knew that they couldn't delay like this, they had to leave here as soon as possible:

"Are your followers ready?"
