Chapter 314 Nightmare Sea
"Am I seeing things?" Chen Ke looked back at Laura and Nathan, unable to believe his eyes.
The plane was so huge that its color could not be seen in the night sky, and its fuselage was covered in flames.
The left wing broke apart during the fall, making a strange rumbling sound, and then fell straight into the sea, splashing huge water.
The sound of the anti-aircraft guns was still roaring in his ears, and Chen Ke felt that the whole ship was shaking from side to side. At the same time, the roar of the aircraft engine sounded in the sky.
The three looked up and saw many planes flying in the night sky, looming in the clouds, and around them were fireworks left by the explosion of anti-aircraft guns.
"What the hell is this, are we at the scene of the Pacific naval battle?" Nathan said in surprise.
Not only Chen Ke and his team, but other people on the ship also heard the movement outside. Some crew members couldn't help but look up from the stairs out of curiosity.
Chen Ke didn't know what was going on. Did the ship enter the war zone? Did the Administration seal off this sea just because there was a war here?
Or maybe, this is a time-distorted space, just like the Great Void, where a past war keeps repeating itself?
Chen Ke shook his head, feeling that none of his ideas were reliable, and for some reason, he always felt that as long as he thought, someone would want to laugh.
"What is Conrad doing...?" Laura suddenly asked.
Chen Ke looked up, his vision penetrated the bridge, and he only saw a human figure sitting in the captain's room.
He couldn't help but frown, there should be a helmsman and a navigator in the cabin... Their outlines disappeared, which could only mean that they were dead.
"I'm going to go up and take a look, you'd better stay here." Chen Ke turned his head and said.
"This is not fair, Chen Ke." Nathan shook his head.
"This is not fair, Nathan. At this juncture, let's not act against each other." Chen Ke said, and summoned a blasphemous dagger with his left hand.
Laura was mentally prepared, so she didn't feel much surprise about Chen Ke summoning the holy object, but it was the first time she saw the biological summoning process at such a close distance, and it still felt very novel.
But it was the first time that Nathan knew that Chen Ke had psychic power, so when Chen Ke summoned the blasphemous dagger, he still couldn't accept it.
"Oh... God, you mean... you are... a psychic?" Nathan couldn't believe it.
"Yes, I am a psychic. Now I want to know what you do. I hope you two can answer truthfully, because I want to judge how much you are worth." Chen Ke said seriously.
"I am an archaeologist... I am an explorer, and I have seen things you have never heard of. I can protect myself, even when facing those messy things." Laura said.
"Oh, I know that Ms. Laura is definitely not the kind of history teacher who stands on the podium to teach." Nathan said.
"Why don't you tell me what you do, Nathan?" Laura said.
"I am a treasure hunter. Excuse me, I have seen things that you may never have seen before." Nathan said.
"Oh... really...?" Laura didn't believe it.
"I understand. You are just ordinary people... So, let's go back to the cabin. I'll go up and take a look. If there is any problem, I will find a way to let you know." Chen Ke said.
"You look down on people too much, but I agree with you." Nathan nodded and turned to walk down.
"Maybe I can go to the stern to look for clues." Laura said.
"No, that thing is very dangerous... Even I can't tell what it is now... You'd better not act on your own." Chen Ke advised.
"Then be careful." Laura nodded.
Chen Ke knew that he couldn't convince these two people, and they would definitely take action, so he didn't waste his words anymore and could only pray for the best.
He patted Laura's shoulder, held the blasphemous dagger in his left hand, held the gun in his right hand, made a standard CQC posture, and quickly rushed up the stairs of the bridge.
Under the scanning of the spiritual vision, there was only someone in the captain's room in the entire bridge, but he still cut into the door very carefully and entered the wheelhouse to observe it first.
There were two bodies on the ground, lying on their backs, with their hands covering their necks, as if they had suffocated to death.
Obviously, these were the navigator and the chopper. Chen Ke squatted down to check and found that they had black handprints on their necks, and black blood was flowing from their eyes, nostrils and mouths, which reminded Chen Ke of the child in the kitchen.
He came to the door of the captain's room and saw that the whole door was covered with black handprints. The size of the handprints was the same as that of a child. Chen Ke tried to open the cabin door, but found that the door was locked from the inside.
Chen Ke looked through the porthole and saw Conrad sitting in a chair holding a photo frame and crying about something. He was completely dazed. He knocked on the door and shouted loudly: "Conrad! Cheer up! Conrad!"
Shouting like this had no effect at all. Chen Ke put the gun back into the holster, and a lot of white ashes came out of the palm of his right hand. The ashes accumulated more and more, accompanied by sparks.
That was Angele's witch fire, a magic flame with a temperature of more than 1000 degrees that could melt anything.
Chen Ke pressed his first stop against the door, trying to keep his body away from the door frame, and the air around him immediately became hot.
The high temperature from the palm of his right hand seemed to insulate his right hand, and he could not feel any temperature at all, but the entire hatch had turned slightly red and emitted an unpleasant burning smell.
With a bang, the round valve on the hatch fell off first. The structure of the entire door had been destroyed, and the upper part collapsed due to the hollow formed by the burning through of the middle part, turning yellow and black, and melting into a viscous liquid.
After burning for almost 40 seconds, 60% of the door was melted, leaving only a piece of scrap metal as big as a shield falling on the ground, and there were also charred burn marks on the edge of the door frame.
Chen Ke stepped into the captain's room, scanned the environment inside, and then walked straight to Conrad.
At this time, Conrad was already unconscious, holding the photo frame in his hands and crying, and kept muttering "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Chen Ke shook Conrad, trying to make him sober again.
"Conrad, Conrad! What happened here just now?" Chen Ke said anxiously.
"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have done this... It's all my fault... I'm sorry..." Conrad muttered softly.
Chen Ke walked around to Conrad's back and looked at the photo frame he was holding. There was a family photo in it.
It was a photo of Conrad, his wife and son taken in a place similar to a park. Judging from his face, Conrad should have been in his 40s at the time.
Conrad in the photo was wearing a military uniform and seemed to be preparing to go to war. If Chen Ke guessed correctly, that year should be the year when the Gulf War just started.
The little boy in the photo stood in the middle. He looked only seven or eight years old. He wore a blue short-sleeved shirt on his upper body and brown shorts on his lower body. He had thick golden medium-length hair and his skin was sickly white...
Chen Ke suddenly felt his scalp tingling.
On the right side of the little boy was Conrad's wife. She had long brown hair, wore a green dress, and had a string of amber beads on her right hand.
"Conrad..." Chen Ke shook Conrad's shoulder, but the other party still ignored him.
"I think I know what happened here..." Chen Ke said lightly.
