Chapter 259 The Cursed Ship

The town of Enki is near Disi Bay, near the sea, so Xifa knows a lot of shells.

therefore.

Now looking at the sailor in front of him, he couldn't help counting: "Five-clawed snails, pearl oysters, crown snails, clams, long-nosed snails, and even jeweled bell snails?"

Yes.

Under the crimson moonlight, there were many shells growing on the sailor's face, chest, arms, etc. Those things huddled together, clinging densely to the sailor's body, the sailor himself didn't seem to be aware of this, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

Even, in addition to being covered with shells, Xifa also saw corals, and saw fat sea cockroaches crawling between his body, and some even got into his mouth and came out from the corners of his eyes.

What happened to him?

What's going on here?

Suddenly, Xifa thought of a scary word: pollution!

The sailor in front of him seemed to be polluted by extraordinary power.

"Quick, get back to the boat!"

Xifa made a decisive decision and let the sailors leave the sinking and strange sailing ship.

Several sailors didn't dare to be brave, and retreated one after another, returning to the boat.

When Xifa also walked back, he heard a weak voice repeating a word: "Celeste, Celeste."

Holding up the lantern, Xifa looked in the direction of the sound, and it turned out to be a middle-aged man. He appears to be the captain of the ship, and wears a boat cap, double-breasted tunic, black jacket, and white linen shirt.

He sat down on the ground, his whole body was in a daze, his eyes wandered, and he kept repeating the word with unknown meaning.

Thankfully, he doesn't have any shells on his face, no coral, and no gnarled sea cockroaches crawling around.

"Who are you."

Xifa encouraged his spirituality and shouted loudly.

The man shook his whole body, then his eyes began to focus, and he looked up at Sifa: "Who am I? I'm Houston, I'm the captain, yes, that's right, I'm Captain Houston."

"Very well, Mr. Houston, what happened to you. How did your ship become like this? Were you attacked by pirates?" Sifer continued to ask, but he didn't expect him to be able to answer in full.

The captain narrowed his eyes slightly, and murmured in a low voice: "What happened? How did my ship become like this? I remember that we were going to the Southern Continent. Everything was normal today, but Old Wake said so In good weather, you might be able to catch trout."

"But afternoon, afternoon"

Houston's eyes began to show fear, his teeth chattered, and he said intermittently: "It came, it appeared. It came from the sea, it appeared from the deep. It brought poor old Wake, and many others. people took away."

"I know that they will never come back again. They must serve there until their lives are gone, until they are reduced to dry bones, and then it will not let them go."

"That's the devil, the devil from the sea!"

The captain suddenly jumped up, and when he stood up, Sifer suddenly felt a thump in his heart. The old captain looked normal on the surface, but what protruded from the waist and under the long coat were not legs, but dark red tentacles with suction cups like octopuses filled with mucus.

Sifa immediately raised the 'Praise of Blood', aimed at Houston's head, and fired.

boom!

The gunshot rang out, and the captain's head was much more fragile than normal people, like a shell that seemed hard but was actually fragile, and was easily blown away by the bullet.

His boat cap flew out, and out of his hair, out of Houston's blasted head, gnarled black sea cockroaches crawled down the deck like tides and scattered in all directions.

This kind of insect with long tentacles and multiple pairs of legs, when crawling in groups, makes a scalp-explosive sound.

Xifa almost wanted to throw a fireball out, but in the end he held back and just fired a few shots at the sea cockroaches crawling towards him. After killing a few of them, the other insects did not dare to run in his direction.

Looking at the fallen Houston, looking through the gap in his head, his brain was almost hollowed out, which made Xifa unable to understand how he was able to speak and think just now.

After all, his brains are gone!

The gunshot caught Ken's attention on the Breaker, and the captain yelled at the opposite side: "What happened!"

Xifa turned around and shouted, "Let's talk when we go back, I'll go back now."

He returned to the boat, and a moment later he was on the deck of the Breaker, and told what he had seen and heard.

"Celeste?"

Ken's complexion was not very good, he grabbed Sifer and said, "Are you sure, that person said the word 'Celeste'?"

Xifa nodded: "I should have heard correctly, Captain, what is Celeste?"

"A ship, a cursed ship."

Ken yelled at the sailors on the deck: "Go, prepare the artillery, and sink that ship for me. The people on the ship have been polluted and turned into monsters. Let them rest in peace."

After the sailors were busy for a while, the roar of the artillery rang out, and the shell hit the sailing ship on the opposite side, blowing up sawdust, completely destroying the structure of the ship, and causing it to sink into the sea at an accelerated rate.

Just as the sailboat was sinking, the sailor was still pulling the mast cables, and the sailor, whose body was covered with coral and shells, was still repeating the previous actions until his body was submerged in the sea water and disappeared.

In the captain's cabin.

Xifa was playing with a model sailboat, and Ken said, "Roger, you should have heard of 'Celeste' too, right?"

The boatswain nodded: "I am afraid that anyone who is active at sea has heard of the legend of 'Celeste'."

"Legends say that Celeste will appear on the sea every once in a while. This cursed ship is constantly looking for its captain. Before it finds the 'captain', the ships attacked by it, on board Its sailors, sailors, and even passengers will be enslaved by it."

"Those people will stay on the ship for the rest of their lives, working day and night. But no matter how tiring they work, they will not die, because Celeste endows them with strong vitality."

"They have to stay on the ship for a hundred years before they can finish their work, sink to the bottom of the sea, and die peacefully."

Ken added, puffing on his cigar, "Also, if Celeste finds the captain, and the captain is willing to free them, they can go."

Xifa asked curiously: "Is this a ghost ship?"

"No, it's worse than that. The Celeste ship itself is a monster."

Ken leaned back on the high-back chair: "From the rumors collected from various places, the appearance of Celeste is no different from that of ordinary warships. It has triple main guns, multiple layers of artillery decks, masts and sails. However, in some places on this ship, flesh and blood tissue can be seen. It can enslave humans and even other non-human creatures. Even undead and living corpses are among the slaves."

"besides."
