Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 77 What the hell?

Su Yu followed Song Shaoying inside and entered the captain's cabin, which was usually off-limits to unauthorized personnel.

This was Su Yu's first time entering such a place, which was different from the captain's cabin he had imagined for this era.

The first thing you see is a crystal screen that shimmers with a faint light.

"It's still a classic ship's cabin, but it has a near-modern command post. Is it some kind of magical device?"

Everything here tends to blend the ancient and the modern.

Watching the captain operate the control panel, Su Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

As expected, he was prejudiced and associated everything about this era with his own understanding of "the Middle Ages or the modern era".

But this world has magic, and it's not lacking in clever people.

"Su Yu, come and take a look." Just as he was thinking this, Song Shaoying had already called him to the front of the control panel.

The captain and his crew had no time to think about what Song Shaoying was trying to do with the people he brought in. In the huge storm that had already formed, even with the protection of powerful forces, their large ships were like tiny creatures, tossed about in the sea.

A feeling of being overturned by the waves at any moment filled everyone's heart.

Su Yu wasn't seasick, but the swaying and tumbling made him feel nauseous.

He had already walked to the vicinity of the control panel when the ship suddenly tilted due to violent shaking, and several people, including Song Shaoying, slid to the corner.

Su Yu: "..."

This won't do. If we can only passively accept the whims of the waves, then we'll just have to wait for the ship to sink!
The captain was still telling Song Shaoying, "Don't worry, it's just a storm—"

No, if it were just a storm, it might not necessarily cause any problems.

The problem is, they didn't just encounter a storm!
There may be further attacks during the storm. Are you just going to tough it out and wait for it to pass?

Then all we can do is wait to die.

Song Shaoying had already decided to take Su Yu's advice. After all, if the defenses failed, it would only be a waste of energy, but if an attack came and there was no preparation, it would be disastrous. He said to the captain, "The storm is nothing. There's an ambush. Get the sailors ready immediately!"

"Yes, go and call out!" the captain ordered the bosun. The bosun nodded and began to call out.

The violent howling and pounding sounds meant that even from a distance, one had to shout to maintain orders.

Then it became like the Middle Ages again, and people could only communicate by shouting.

Su Yu was speechless. It seemed that relying entirely on them was a bit risky; he would have to do it himself.

After looking at the spell crystal screen on the command platform, Su Yu said, "I don't understand the sea and storms, but I do understand spells!"

A smart person knows how to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. When it comes to marine expertise, everyone present can easily outshine him.

Magic is about defeating everyone else completely.

In fact, Su Yu had only learned some basic courses, but he took advantage of Song Shaoying and the others, who, although somewhat special, were still ignorant of the law.

Seeing Song Shaoying and the others nod, Su Yu continued, "The storm must have formed naturally. If such a large storm could be stirred up, it could wipe us out with the flick of a finger. There's no need for such a fuss!"

The words are clear and convincing.

This is not a hoax. Even in basic spell courses, the core course is energy science, and the most important indicator for judging each level of spell is energy.

A natural storm—that's practically a miracle. Do I even deserve to be treated like that?
"If it's naturally formed, why don't I feel anything?" Song Shaoying frowned, a little uncomfortable, and asked. He was the captain, and naturally had a sense of the sea climate. This was the most valuable thing about the captain, the core ability. Everything else could be replaced by other sailors, but this was something that couldn't be done.

"His attitude is actually quite good?" Su Yu understood very well that once core values ​​were challenged, the person would most likely become angry and unreasonable, so his attitude was truly commendable.

"The social value of being a top student in the academy is terrifying!"

“Mr. Song, compared to stirring up a great storm, blocking certain senses is very easy, very simple,” Su Yu said succinctly.

"I can feel that the concentration of negative energy is slowly increasing, but not by much. However, most of the people on our ship are ordinary people."

Gray particles, invisible to ordinary people, kept colliding with the body, only to be neutralized by a faint white light.

Although others are wearing protective suits, they cannot be completely isolated.

"A series of negative energy symptoms will soon appear—physical decline, reactive metabolism, and even bloodlust and hallucinations!" Su Yu said quickly, explaining that this was actually a typical experience of haunted houses.

"So what do we do now?" "An increase in negative energy concentration is unsustainable, and the area it can cover is bound to be very small," Su Yu said coldly.

Many people can't survive because they lack professional knowledge. For example, a normal person can't survive for more than a few days in the wild, but Bear Grylls can survive for half a year.

"Show your captain's qualities, don't rely on mystical senses, use your nautical expertise, and charge in the right direction to escape the negative energy zone and the storm's range!"

After saying this, Su Yu took a step back. He had already pointed out the key point; now it was up to the captains to make their decisions and put in the effort.

Just then, Su Yu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his heart skipped a beat.

I sensed a chill emanating from behind me and rapidly approaching.

Looking at Song Shaoying and the others, they seemed completely unaware.

"They didn't know, or perhaps because I have magical powers, I stood out like a torch in winter, and it found me immediately?"

Su Yu slowly turned around. In his view, a transparent, palm-sized black wooden music box floated in mid-air, its spring gently turning and emitting a soft rustling sound.

As the melody began, the surroundings suddenly turned cold.

rustle……

I think I can hear voices.

A tattered, dirty little doll, dragging its blood-stained skirt, lies on the music box.

"What the hell?!"

Su Yu couldn't figure out how it appeared.

sand……

This time, it seems to have turned into murmurs.

Thump thump thump thump, inside the room, it seems as if a young girl is dancing lightly.

"Xiaoli..."

Someone was repeatedly chanting this name.

Sure enough, it came!

In the dim light, the little doll lifted her skirt in a gesture of respect, and then began to sing during the dance.

Here comes a wave.

"A tide that is taking under"

Invisible to the naked eye, but Su Yu could clearly sense that wisps of gray light were seeping out of the music box, floating in the low air, and gradually gathering into a blurry shape.

It was vaguely discernible that she was a young girl with a pretty face and a slender figure. She also lifted her skirt and bowed, seemingly a shy and demure lady.

"Left with nothing to say"

Let the storm in

As the song played, crimson liquid seeped out, filling the air with a strong, fishy stench.

The girl's face gradually contorted with terror, her neck twisted into an unbelievable arc like an infant's, and her aura began to change.

"Originally a human, killed... and turned into an evil spirit?"

"Is this world really this cruel?"

“a hurricane”

"Destroyed my town"

A slight chill settled in Su Yu's heart. He glanced around at the seemingly oblivious people, making no attempt to move aside, until he felt a coldness, as if he had been plunged into ice water.

"system!"

With a slight sway of his body, all the illusions before his eyes vanished into thin air.
