Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1494 Weird Phenomenon
God's eyes cannot be deceived by illusions. Li Chengxi was also very sure that what he saw was the real thing, not an image, and definitely not an illusion like a mirage.

But there is a feeling of unreality, and this feeling is quite subtle.

For example, it's like wearing AR glasses. You know what you're seeing is real, but you also know there's an augmented reality component.

In short, this ship gave Li Chengxi a very strange feeling. He had never encountered a similar situation before.

The people from Section Nine were busy, pointing various instruments at the ship, detecting and recording a lot of incomprehensible data.

Lei Lei moved a little closer to Li Chengxi:
"Brother Li, did you notice anything? This boat feels very strange."

"It's really strange. I always feel like it's not real, but it's right in front of me."

Li Chengxi then asked Lei Lei:

"It's called a ghost ship, what do you think?"

"Not like."

Lei Lei said with certainty:

"Although I can sense some ghostly auras, there are definitely demons and monsters on the ship, but the ship itself doesn't look like something from the underworld."

Ghost energy is another name for negative energy. It is said that monks often catch ghosts and are very good at it.

As for the ghost ship, in most cases it means literally. The entire ship is actually a ghost and should exude a strong ghostly aura.

If Lei Lei said no, then that really meant nothing. It was more sensitive than any instrument. The situation on this ship was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

At this moment, the image of the ghost ship suddenly shook, and the local ninth department personnel immediately grabbed the intercom:
"Ship No. 13! You are off course, turn immediately!"

When this ghost ship appears, thick fog will fill the surrounding area, but the fog is not so thick that you cannot see your hand in front of you. Every ship around it has fog lights and searchlights on, so the outline can still be seen clearly.

The ship that received the order quickly drifted around the corner. Miraculously, after the ship left, the image of the ghost ship returned to normal.

Gan Xiaoyan was also asking her own people to collect data, and when she saw this, she said to her local colleagues:
"It seems that the intelligence is true. If a ship approaches the bow or stern of the ghost ship, it will disappear."

"On the other hand, as long as no one gets close to it, it can exist for a long time. The longest record so far is eight hours. We guess that unless there is a change from day to night, the ghost ship will always exist and will not move."

Before Gan Xiaoyan and other helpers arrived, the people from the local Ninth Section had already conducted a preliminary investigation of the ghost ship, and all this information was obtained from the preliminary investigation.

"But is the ship the only thing that can affect the ghost ship?"

"For now, no other factors have been found."

Gan Xiaoyan and the colleague nodded and turned around:
"Let's lower the manta ray underwater robot we brought."

"Turn on the fish radar and deploy the underwater sonar."

The work of the Jiuke is extremely dependent on equipment.

After all, the vast majority of members of Section Nine are basically ordinary people, and there are very few people with special abilities. Even if there are, they are people like Gan Xiaoyan who do not have combat capabilities.

Therefore, the standard working style of the Ninth Department is to prioritize data collection and adopt different corresponding strategies based on the collected intelligence.

The underwater robot was quickly thrown down, and the radar and sonar were turned on.

Standing on the deck, Li Chengxi could see the underwater robot turning on the searchlight and approaching the ghost ship from underwater.

“There’s nothing around here.”

"Try turning on the fishing light."

This fishing lamp, not the handicraft one, is used by fishing boats to attract fish when fishing at night.

The power is very large. Once the fishing light is turned on, the surroundings are as bright as day. Even if there is fog around, it seems to be dispersed a lot in an instant.

But it was still useless, there was still no fish around.

Wild animals have much stronger perception than humans. The fish underwater must have sensed something and ran away as soon as the ghost ship appeared. Gan Xiaoyan's underwater robot didn't capture much either.

The underwater scene is not as clear as it looks in many diving videos. The large amount of plankton and organic debris makes the images captured by underwater robots look like snow.

However, the underwater robot did not capture anything, which is a clue in itself.

"This ship actually has no bottom?"

The underwater robot has swam near the ghost ship, but found that there is nothing below the waterline.

Rather than floating on the water, the ship looks more like an image of a real object pasted on the water.

Gan Xiaoyan asked the robot operator to turn around. At this time, Jiang Zhe, the youngest of the people watching the screen on the monitor, suddenly said:

"The wind and waves seem to have disappeared."

Everyone looked up and saw that indeed, the wind and waves had almost calmed down.

Even on a so-called calm sea, one can still feel the obvious ups and downs when sitting on the boat. However, now everyone did not feel any trace of waves at all, and the boat was just like it was docked on the ground.

The robot operator then said:

"The robot encountered an unknown problem and it stopped moving!"

"The signal should not be interrupted."

"It's not broken, but the function cannot be controlled."

Li Chengxi took two steps toward the bow, held onto the side of the ship and looked in the direction of the ghost ship.

In the dark sea, the underwater robot's built-in light can easily identify its position, and it always stays in one place without moving.

It looks like...

It feels like a fish frozen in ice.

Li Chengxi poured the last sip of Red Bull into his mouth and threw the can towards the underwater robot.

The red can hit the sea, making a clanging sound.

It doesn't feel like it hit the sea, it's more like it hit the ground.

This sound also attracted other people. Gan Xiaoyan immediately said to Fu Haoran who was in charge of driving the boat:

"Try to reverse!"

Fu Haoran, who was holding the steering wheel, quickly shifted into gear. At first, the fishing boat seemed to be entangled in seaweed, and one could feel the vibration of the fishing boat as if it was struggling. Then it seemed to break free and slowly began to move backwards.

Everything seemed to be back to normal again, and the slight sense of rise and fall returned to the boat.

The can of Red Bull thrown by Li Chengxi moved slowly with the waves, and even the underwater robot returned to normal, as if the sudden solidification of the sea water just now was an illusion.

"It could be some kind of defense mechanism, or it could be some kind of mechanism that makes it easier for people to get on board. I'm not sure yet. Have you collected all the data?"

“No problem, the equipment is working fine and all the data is collected.”

Usually, this kind of supernatural event will cause precision equipment to malfunction. If the concentration of magic power is slightly higher, even a mobile phone will not turn on.

We were lucky this time and there was no messy interference, so the data collection for the nine subjects went very smoothly.

In this case, Gan Xiaoyan discussed it with her local colleagues and then said:

"Lower the boat and let's try to board the ship."

No matter how much peripheral data we collect, we still can't figure out what's going on with this ship. People still have to go up and take a look.
