Chapter 830: Meeting at the Wrong Place

In a uniform gray-white "channel" that seemed to fill the entire world, a huge sailing expedition ship was sailing quickly and silently. It was a phantom ghost with an illusory feeling - the illusion of the Lost Homeland covered the Brilliant Star, and the green flames burned all over the huge hull. With the help of the "mapping relationship" established by this means, the helmsman of the Lost Homeland, Abnormal 077, was controlling the ship to sail towards the boundless sea.

This seemed to be an extremely long journey home. The uniform and monotonous gray-white channel seemed to have no end. There was not even a trace of wind outside the ship. No matter how long it had been in this channel, it was impossible to see the hull move at all. Even if it had experienced more than one such "voyage", everyone found the monotony of this voyage unbearable.

As a professional "border exploration ship" and a "mobile fortress" of the sea witch, the Brilliant Star had countless dangerous laboratories and workshops inside, which was obviously not suitable for playing in it.

Shirley was lying on the railing, looking at the gray and white outside the ship, muttering: "When will we arrive... Why do I feel that we have been drifting in this gray and white most of the time at the border, including from the beginning?"

"That's not an illusion," Nina lay on the railing next to Shirley, and then sighed, "We really have been drifting in this gray and white most of the time."

"...I miss the captain a little bit." Shirley thought for a while and muttered.

"It hasn't been long since we separated from the captain," Agou's muffled voice came from the deck next to him. He looked up at Shirley, "And didn't you mutter yesterday that finally no one was nagging you to read and write every day?"

"...That's not the same thing," Shirley looked at Agou, "and I still feel...feel...Forget it, I don't have many words."

Agou buried his head and didn't ask Shirley what she "felt".

And at this moment, an unusual vibration suddenly came from below the deck, interrupting Nina's action as she was about to speak.

Agou raised his head again in an instant, and the dark green flames in his eyes jumped quickly: "Did you two feel it just now? It seems that the deck vibrated a little."

"Could it be that it is almost there?" Shirley said immediately, and at the same time her eyes had already looked at the end of the gray-white area in front of her - a hazy and strange line seemed to have appeared in the distance, "Hey, it seems that something really appeared!"

Before she finished her words, another stronger vibration than before came from the deck. This time it seemed that the whole ship was shaking, and under the cover of the phantom of the Lost Hometown, many places in the body of the Brilliant Star seemed to have heard faint alarm sounds!

Shirley was startled for a moment, and finally realized that something seemed to be wrong. She looked at Nina and ran to the control panel at the stern.

The dark iron chain between the deep demons was instantly tightened, and before Agou could get up, he was dragged into the air by the chain, jumping and jumping in the air while shouting loudly: "Hey, Shirley, slow down! At least tell me! Don't be so impatient--"

But Shirley didn't care at all, dragging Agou all the way across the entire deck-Nina was like a jumping flame, one step ahead of her.

When the two came to the bridge, Lucrecia had already arrived here. Although the sailor who was concentrating on steering the ship still held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his face now had a nervous look, and it was obvious that the situation was not good.

Nina stepped forward quickly: "Miss Lucrecia, what happened?"

"We are exiting the 'channel'," Lucrecia said quickly with a serious expression, "We are exiting early - we haven't returned to the vast sea yet."

Even with Shirley's knowledge level, after sailing on the border for such a long time, she could hear how serious this was. She widened her eyes instantly: "...Ah?! Shit... Isn't that the end? If we exit from this channel early, won't we fall directly into the turbulence? Who knows how many years it will take to return..."

Lucretia did not respond. After a brief thought, she turned to look at the sailor: "What's the situation now? Can you still control it? ? "

"No, the passage is still "collapsed", we have to withdraw from the route - it's like there is some huge "target" interfering with it," the sailor said quickly, "I can only control the stability of the ship now, get ready, we are going to withdraw!"

Almost at the moment when Abnormal 077's voice fell, a shock that was stronger and more sudden than the previous two times swept through the Brilliant Star - it was as if the whole ship was directly thrown from more than ten meters high in the air onto the sea. In the loud bang, even Lucrecia almost fell to the ground, and at the same time, the uniform gray-white "passage" seemed to be torn apart by the loud noise, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

The boundless chaotic fog instantly filled the surroundings, and the mirror-like sea surface appeared outside the ship's side. The Brilliant Star fell into a "sea area" shrouded in fog, unable to distinguish the direction, without any landmarks, and unable to determine its own position.

Shirley looked into the distance in shock, and when she saw the thick fog that was a hallmark of the border waters, she sighed, "Oh, it's over. As expected, we're still at the border..."

"What's worse is that it's not just at the border, but even six nautical miles away from the border." Lucretia frowned. She observed the flow of fog around her, her tone becoming more serious, "If it's within six nautical miles, , and it is possible to contact the radio signals of the civilized world, or at least have the opportunity to return to the Infinite Sea by 'sailing', but six nautical miles away..."

The sailor muttered: "The 'direction' is completely useless this time."

Agatha's hazy and illusory figure appeared on the deck. She already knew the current situation and came to ask about the next arrangements: "Ms. Lucretia, do you want to temporarily remove the projection of the Lost Home?"

"...No, keep it going for now," Lucretia thought for a moment and immediately shook her head, "Although it is just a projection, it is the shadow of the Lost Home after all. It can be more or less bright in this strange sea. The Star provides certain protection...is it a heavy burden for you?"

"There is no problem on my side," Agatha shook her head. "It will be easy to maintain it for a few more days. But after all, it cannot be maintained indefinitely."

"...I understand." Lucretia nodded slightly, and at this moment, she suddenly caught something out of the corner of her eye.

It was in the depths of the thick fog that a fleeting glimmer of light appeared. It seemed to be a ship's light...or was it just an illusory hope?

"There's something over there!" Shirley seemed to have seen it too. She jumped up immediately and pointed excitedly into the distance, "There's something shining!"

"Lean over there." Lucrecia put away her hesitation and nodded after weighing it briefly.

Frankly, she wasn't sure if the decision was impulsive.

After all, this is the border, and it is a border beyond the six-mile critical line. There is no shelter provided by the Four Gods Node, and there is no time and space protection brought by the "route". Anything that appears here may be a fatal threat- - Even if it's just a breeze, a phantom, a quiet call and a whisper.

When exploring the border, it is very dangerous to approach unknown entities rashly.

But now there seems to be no choice - the Brilliant Star has exited the channel early. The ship has completely lost its way beyond the critical line. The boundless thick fog around it and the broken time stream that may appear at any time are as dangerous as those weird "entities". Even more dangerous.

In this case, the entity appearing in the dense fog may be a "drift" drifting from within six nautical miles. If it comes into contact with it, it may find an entrance back to the Infinite Sea.

The Brilliant Star, covered with the phantom of spiritual fire, slowly adjusted its angle. Under the careful control of the sailor, it began to approach the light that appeared deep in the thick fog almost silently.

As the distance gradually increased, the glimmer of light deep in the thick fog did not disappear, but became more and more real.

Lucretia breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling nervous.

That light is not an illusion, but an entity - there is indeed something floating in the fog in that direction, but an "entity" that can float in the border waters six sea miles away...

What kind of evil thing must it be?

Miss Witch looked back towards the deck.

I hope that with the phantom protection of the Lost Home, coupled with the firepower and various special powers of the Brilliant Star, I can deal with that thing.

The important mission assigned by her father had not yet been completed, and she did not want to lose her life for some inexplicable reason on the way home.

Others also walked out of the cabin and gathered on the back deck. In the few words of Shirley and Nina, they quickly understood the situation and began to nervously look at the line that gradually became clear in the thick fog. light.

Then, as if the thick fog suddenly became thinner, the light and the outline behind it became clear almost instantly.

With the help of the lens group, Morris was the first to clearly see the outline behind the light, and then the expression on his face suddenly became subtle.

That's a ship.

A frontier exploration ship with a distinctive paddle wheel power unit and a ghost half.

That's the Brilliant Star.

The deck fell silent instantly, and after a short delay, many eyes from around finally fell on Lucretia.

"...It looks familiar." Shirley muttered.

Lucretia finally recovered from her shock, and she suddenly understood——

"That was the Brilliant Star... the time I crossed the six-mile critical line a long time ago."
