Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1493 Untrue

Since he was free anyway, Li Chengxi decided to accompany Gan Xiaoyan on a trip.

Gan Xiaoyan was waiting for Li Chengxi to say this. She immediately contacted her colleagues and arranged the air tickets in just a few words.

Yes, we still have to take a plane. The small northern city where Li Chengxi is located is far away from the sea.

After picking up his laptop and stuffing two pieces of clothes into his suitcase, Li Chengxi got on Jiuke’s car and rushed to the airport.

A few hours later, I boarded a plane at the airport and headed straight to Guangdong.

It is said that the ghost ship appeared along the coast from Guangdong to Fujian. The analysts from Section 9 are working overtime to research the more specific location. Anyway, they have to go to Guangdong first so that they can respond quickly.

This trip almost spanned half of China, but taking a plane was not that troublesome. We set off at noon and arrived at the hotel arranged by Jiuke before dark.

It is still more comfortable to travel domestically. At least the food is acceptable, unlike the last time I went to the UK, where the local specialties I brought back were simply not edible.

After staying in the hotel for one night, Li Chengxi, Lei Lei, and a large group of staff from Section 9 led by Gan Xiaoyan drove straight to the seaside pier.

Next we have to go out to sea by boat, which won’t be as comfortable and relaxing as on land.

But there are more than just a few people here to do this.

When we got to the dock, we saw that there were already people waiting there.

Gan Xiaoyan communicated with her local colleagues, and then she specifically introduced Li Chengxi:

"This is the local assistant, Comrade Fu Haoran."

He looked to be in his thirties, not very old, and was wearing a very trendy sailor shirt with shorts and flip-flops.

His skin is dark, as if tanned, and he might be someone who has worked at sea for a long time.

He shook hands with Li Chengxi politely:

"Nice to meet you."

A Cantonese accent, just right.

"This is Jiang Zhe from Shanxi, and he is also here to assist us."

Jiang Zhe looks very young. It seems that he has just entered high school. At most, he is only about 15 or 16 years old.

He was wearing a pair of delicate gold-rimmed glasses and seemed to be wearing his school uniform.

When Li Chengxi shook hands with him, he smiled shyly. When it came to Lei Lei, he blushed, like an honest little boy.

"The last person is Feng Xiuqing from Fujian, a civilian who often cooperates with the local Nine Departments."

Feng Xiuqing was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her late 40s. When Li Chengxi and Lei Lei shook hands with her, they acted rather serious, neither enthusiastic nor distant.

There were only five of them who came to help, plus Gan Xiaoyan and personnel from the nine local departments, a total of more than thirty people.

The mission this time is mainly to investigate and find out what is going on with the ghost ship and whether it is dangerous.

If it is a target that needs to be eliminated, Section 9 will add more personnel. Considering the unclear situation, the danger may be relatively high, so Gan Xiaoyan called Li Chengxi over to support, at least to save everyone's life.

——This sounds like a dangerous place.

But then again, although Li Chengxi didn't know the abilities of the three people other than Lei Lei, since they were asked by Section 9 to help, they should not be weaklings.

Maybe Li Chengxi was just traveling this time, and it wasn't his turn to take action. Anyway, he was free, so why not do it? –-——–--——

The ghost ship appeared on the sea, and there was no record of it appearing near the coast, so after a brief acquaintance, everyone immediately turned around and boarded the ship.

Section 9 arranged a fishing boat, which at first glance looked like it was going out to sea to fish and would not arouse suspicion from uninformed people. Military vessels, including the Coast Guard, would also patrol and cruise nearby with the fishing boat, ready to provide support at any time.

Honestly speaking, with this arrangement, it's just a ghost ship, and Li Chengxi feels that he should be able to handle it easily.

Now that everyone is here, we should set off without further delay.

The fishing boat quickly left the port and sailed towards the deep sea.

The person driving the boat was Fu Haoran. Li Chengxi asked around and found out that Fu Haoran was a captain who fished at sea. Although the boat was not his, there was no problem driving it and there was no need to find someone extra to control the boat.

During his previous trip to the UK, Li Chengxi also took a boat from France to the UK and crossed the English Channel.

But to be honest, setting out on a boat is only interesting when you leave the port. Once you enter the sea, all you see is rolling waves on all sides, and nothing else.

Gan Xiaoyan said that there were a lot of reconnaissance ships leaving the port with them, casting a wide net to lock the exact location of the ghost ship. However, the ships might be far away from each other. In any case, Li Chengxi didn't see any other ships nearby while standing on the deck.

Since the time and place of the appearance of the ghost ship are uncertain and the rules behind it have not yet been fully figured out, this sea voyage may take a long time before seeing the real thing.

The people from Section Nine seemed to be quite nervous. When Li Chengxi was walking around the ship, he could see that they often stayed on the deck and scanned everywhere with telescopes, or checked a large number of instruments that they brought on board and which they did not understand very well.

Everyone who came to help, including Li Chengxi, felt relaxed.

Fu Haoran was driving the boat, Jiang Zhe seemed to be hiding in the cabin doing exercises, Feng Xiuqing was watching TV series on her mobile phone, and Lei Lei also brought a laptop and, like Li Chengxi, found a single-player game to pass the time.

The ship drifted aimlessly, from morning to afternoon, and from afternoon to dark.

The space in the cabin is relatively narrow. To be honest, when I squat here, I always have the illusion that my whole body is compressed.

Li Chengxi saw that it was getting dark outside, stretched himself, and wondered when to have dinner.

"Brother Li!"

At this time, Gan Xiaoyan knocked on the door and came in and said:
"The ghost ship appears!"

Well, it looks like there will be no dinner for the time being.

Li Chengxi followed Gan Xiaoyan out of the cabin and stood on the deck. At this time, the lights of the fishing boat had been turned on, and it could be clearly felt that the fishing boat was turning and seemed to be heading in another direction.

Just over ten minutes later, Li Chengxi saw sporadic lights appearing on the sea. When he got closer, he noticed that those lights were reconnaissance ships that looked like speedboats.

Looking further away, two destroyers can be vaguely seen in the darkness. This should be the fire cover that Gan Xiaoyan said the military would provide.

When the fishing boat gets closer, you can see the so-called ghost ship.

It was similar to what you saw in the photo, a very old cruise ship with three large chimneys on the deck. You could even see the paddle wheels on both sides of the hull. It felt like a coal-burning ship from two centuries ago.

Simply put, it's a bit like the Titanic, but not that big.

——It’s a bit unlucky to say that.

The people from Section Nine did not try to get closer immediately, but instead started fiddling with the instruments they brought. Several laser beams of seemingly different colors were directed at the ship, probably detecting something.

But from Li Chengxi's personal perception, he felt that there was indeed something wrong with the ship. It looked real to the naked eye, but it gave him a hazy sense of illusion, like a mirage.
