Chapter 219 I Have Always Been Here

Lynch walked slowly in the shallow sea.

It was walking, not swimming.

This was a magical experience. His body was immersed in the sea water, but it seemed as if he was floating in the air, but the buoyancy was slightly greater than that of the air.

He could naturally gather the buoyancy under his feet, floating in the water as if he was on the ground, or he could restore the surroundings to the state of sea water and let himself swim like a fish.

Lynch felt like there was an extra layer of slippery fish skin around his body. The sea water would slide away as soon as it touched his clothes. At the same time, he could breathe freely in the sea water, and no longer had to worry about drowning in the garden in his sleep.

This was the breath of water, which was similar in nature to the favor of the cat, and was a gift from the King in Yellow.

According to West, in the early days of the King in Yellow, in addition to drama, he was in charge of the power of the storm, which had nothing to do with water. The power related to water and the image that was more like an octopus were all snatched from a deep-sea octopus-headed evil god who did not want to be named.

So Lynch understood why the Deep Diver and the Yellow Apostle fought as soon as they met. If he were the Deep Diver, he would also fight with the Yellow Apostle.

And you put a mark on my soul for no reason. Are you going to quarantine it?

Lynch shook his head and stopped entertaining himself in his mind. In his vision, a dark shadow had appeared.

It was a huge wind-powered steam-hybrid freighter, the most common offshore freighter in modern times. Some slightly glowing corals were hung around it, barely illuminating the dark freighter.

The freighter's exterior was not seriously damaged. The name and emblem of the ship were painted on the hull of the ship.

The Jackdaw, affiliated with Morel and Sons, suddenly sank in the waters near the port not long ago, and all the sailors on the ship were missing.

Lynch learned from Mark's dying will that these deep divers were hiding in this shipwreck. Although he didn't know the exact location of the shipwreck, after tortured Maya, he used a secret steak meal from the Latis kitchen to exchange for detailed information about the shipwreck, and thus deduced the exact location.

Lynch was like a hunter in the sea, hiding behind the reefs on the seabed, quietly spying on the shipwreck.

Unlike the shipwrecks in the documentaries that were surrounded by marine life, there was no life around the Jackdaw at this time. There were groups of small fish swimming nearby, but they avoided it as soon as they approached the shipwreck, as if the most terrifying death was sleeping here.

In the hole of the shipwreck, several dark human-shaped shadows emerged from it, patrolling around the ship like flexible fish, and a strange wave of water spread from their throats. Lynch, who was hiding behind the reef in the distance, could only sense a chaotic and dull strange sound.

Sure enough, this is the nest of the deep divers.

'Neighbor, talk to me, I can't hold on any longer. ’

Lonely in the enemy's nest, with his greatest support exhausted, Lynch is not as relaxed as he looks, especially in such a depressing and dark place as the seabed, where he is under tremendous pressure every second, making the fear in his heart more and more difficult to control.

[You can leave, neighbor, you are not obliged to take such risks. ]

‘I... kind of like this city, and some people in the city, and I also want to protect them. I want to stop Princess Chloe's conspiracy and nip the threat in the bud. ’

[Then come on, Lynch, I look forward to you showing the beautiful scenery. But I want to tell my neighbors and travel companions that truth and falsehood are not contradictory. In the world of the mind, sometimes truth is the most dangerous lie. ]

‘Hmm? What do you mean? ’

[I did hide a lot from you, but that's just because I don't want to use me to change you. So, enjoy the scenery on the journey, do what you want, and don't care what I mean, because... this is your journey, and no one should influence your decision. ]

‘What if my choice brings irreversible danger? ’

The chuckle in my mind was as gentle as the breeze, gently knocking on Lynch’s heart:

[Oh, why are you afraid of these? You are my neighbor, Lynch, you are the one I chose. Do you really think that the Crimson Moon will only hang coldly in the sky, watching her neighbor struggling on the road to immortality? Have you forgotten that I told you on the night you really woke up that I... have always been there. ]

Mad, why is my heart suddenly so warm?

Lynch only felt a burst of warmth in his chest, and even his eyes were a little wet. It must be that the call of water has failed, and the gift is not useful.

Taking a deep breath, after choking on a few mouthfuls of sea water, Lynch realized that the tension in his heart had long disappeared. He held the conch on his chest and tapped it gently with a rhythm: the target has been found, get ready.

Soon, the same knocking sound came from the conch: everything is ready, safe journey, waiting for your triumphant return.

Then, I am here.

Lin Qi hid his figure, jumped lightly along the sea sand, and advanced rapidly on the seabed. As the distance shortened, the cargo ship became clearer and clearer in the darkness.

There were several large holes in the bottom of the ship, and the wooden boards at the hole were torn and twisted, revealing the internal waterproof layer and cabin. From the depths of the cabin, there seemed to be a faint light.

"Eleven skeleton sailors kicked the round human head, and the red-headed parrot held the bloody eyeball..."

In the harsh singing, two more deep divers swam out of the hole, holding sharp blades, looking quite dangerous.

Lin Qi hesitated for a moment, then switched his state, allowing himself to walk on water quickly, and followed two of the fishmen silently. But after following for a few steps, the singing stopped abruptly, and the fishmen looked around vigilantly.

The seabed was silent, and no unusual figures could be seen.

"Why is the water flow so strange? It seems that someone is following us."

Oops, I forgot about the water flow, and fish seem to sense the environment in this way.

A sentence that came with the water waves made Lin Qi nervous immediately. He stopped in the water motionlessly, holding the heavy cane.

"There must be fish, or it must be a warm current. It can't be a drowned corpse or a shipwreck evil spirit, or a curse from the fisherman?"

"Don't say such terrible things. With that adult here, no evil spirit dares to approach."

"What you said is not more terrible, don't mention it, check it quickly and go back to have a drink. The rum on this ship is all good stuff."

That adult... seems to be very difficult to mess with.

The two deep divers didn't take it seriously and swam out quickly, but Lynch didn't dare to be careless. He pulled away and fell behind them, watching them go around the crooked deck.

Seeing them disappear at the side of the ship, Lynch started to move again, stepping on the water all the way up, and finally holding the side of the ship with his hands and sticking his head out, he saw the scene on the deck up close for the first time.

At this moment, Lynch felt his scalp tingling, and all his hair follicles seemed to explode.

On the open deck, he saw a huge mass of gray silt.

The silt ocean like a small lake kept rolling and surging, and hundreds of heads were floating in the lake. These heads had different appearances, and each of them showed an expression of crying with eyes closed, and their mouths opened wide, as if they were making miserable wails.

Damn, open door kill, head-on critical hit.

The visual impact was too strong, and Lynch retreated subconsciously, almost falling back to the bottom of the sea. At the same time, he saw two deep divers tremblingly entering the mud, bypassing the floating head, and entering the entrance of the cabin on the deck.

??? ???

Are they going to get in?
