Chapter 1594: Her brain was filled with …
The guards, who had been brainwashed by suspicious doctrines, might not be afraid of tangible things. Even if the FBI Special Forces came, they would dare to fight with real guns and bullets. However, as long as they were theists, they would be afraid of something, especially ghosts and demons.
They were scared out of their wits by Sihwa’s ethereal yet heart-wrenching song, and their heavy breathing sounded like that of an old man who was about to die.
The firm atheists often could not understand such fear. They might be afraid when they heard a Midnight Song, but they would not be afraid to this extent, because the people they were afraid of were not ghosts.
“Don’t panic! Someone must be up to no good!”
The leader of the guards forced himself to calm down and shouted to the others.
The ones who were most afraid of her were the five executioners during the day. They were the ones who had thrown melgen into the sea with their own hands, and they still remembered the look of despair and hatred in her eyes when she was about to die.
“No! No! Boss! It was definitely the woman from earlier in the day! I understand the song, she’s cursing us! It can’t be wrong! She wanted to come back and strangle us to death, then drag us to the bottom of the ocean … Or directly drag us to the bottom of the ocean and drown us!”
The five of them s.h.i.+vered and kept retreating.
“Nonsense! With heavenly Master Li here, no wandering ghost would dare to cause trouble!” The leader scolded. In fact, he was also very guilty because the song was too strange. No matter how he thought about it, it didn’t seem like a human could sing it.
“You guys, come with me! Let’s row over and take a look. No matter who’s trying to act mysterious, I’ll skin him alive!” The leader ordered.
There were a few wooden boats docked at the dock, tied to wooden stakes with hemp ropes, and floating with the waves.
They also had a modern yacht, but the yacht was not here at this time. They were going to San Francisco to buy living supplies. They urged the farmers to work like cattle and horses, because according to the teachings of celestial master Li, they had sinned and had a job in their previous lives. In this life, they were paying off the debts of their previous lives. The guards, celestial master Li, and the Oracle, of course, could not follow them to eat rice and vegetables. After all, they were all good people of ten lifetimes, and they had no crimes or jobs in their previous lives.
Without a yacht, they could only row a small boat to the sea to see what was going on.
Upon hearing this order, the guards ‘legs went soft. If it was during normal times, it would be fine, but on this pitch-black night, rowing a small boat to get close to the vengeful spirit that was demanding their lives, wasn’t this courting death?
“Boss, why don’t we just pretend we didn’t hear anything? or we can go after dawn tomorrow …” Someone suggested, and the others all supported him.
“Bulls.h.i.+t! On such a cloudy day, there were still at least ten hours before daybreak! He was just going to let her sing for the entire night? Who can bear the consequences if we alarm the heavenly master and the divine envoy?” The leader shouted.
The other guards were speechless after being reprimanded. It was hard to say which consequence was more terrible, being killed by a female ghost or offending the celestial master.
If it was a female ghost on land, they could ask the divine cat to send a cat to investigate, but for matters at sea, they could only be cannon fodder.
They had no choice but to untie the small boats and split into several groups, each steering their own boat towards the Bay entrance.
They were big and strong, but now they were like weak girls. They didn’t put in any effort when rowing the boat. They just wanted to let the other boats go first and leave their own boat behind. If there was danger, it would be easier for them to escape.
On each boat, there was a person lying on the bow of the boat, holding a flashlight and looking forward with wide eyes.
As they got closer and closer to the source of the song, all of them were covered in sweat. Their hearts were beating so fast that they felt like they were about to have a heart attack. They were afraid to see some…Terrifying things.
However, what they were afraid of happened again. Someone’s flashlight suddenly shone on a blurry figure on the surface of the sea. He screamed in shock and even dropped the flashlight into the water.
He saw that there was indeed a woman in the sea. The problem was that this woman was not sitting in another boat, nor was she swimming on the surface of the sea. Instead … Her upper body was straight out of the sea, and her hair was disheveled as she stared at him coldly.
She … Seemed to be standing in the sea as if she was weightless.
They were very familiar with this Bay. The Bay was a natural shelter, and there were no hidden reefs in the sea route. It was impossible for someone to stand on a hidden reef with only their upper body exposed.
Then this woman … How did she “stand” in the sea?
As for her appearance, the man could not see her clearly because he was far away and panicked. He could only confirm that she was a Caucasian woman from her skin color, just like the woman who drowned during the day.
It was scary, it was scary. His sudden scream scared the others.
“What’s wrong? What did you see?” The leader shouted.
“Ghost … It’s a ghost … The woman from earlier in the day has turned into a water ghost and is here to claim my life!” The man’s face was pale as he pointed in the woman’s direction. He bit his tongue several times to the point of bleeding, but he didn’t feel any pain.
“Are you sure you’re not seeing things?”
The others felt a chill in their hearts and shone their flashlights in the direction he pointed. Their movements were so fierce that the boat swayed left and right.
However, they were a step too late. The flashlight only shone on a large splash, like a large animal quickly sinking into the sea. At the same time, the singing also disappeared.
“Did you see a seal or a Manatee? There are a lot of seals nearby, and there are also some manatees. I heard that ancient sailors thought of manatees as mermaids. Are you a brat with only women in your head? Are you treating sea cows as women?”
The leader’s explanation seemed to make sense, but how could he explain the singing?
“It could be the sound of a seal or a Manatee.” The leader tried to explain, but it was hard to convince people, because they had heard the cries of seals many times, which was completely different from the song just now.
Just as they were in a dilemma, the song rang out again, this time from the left side of the s.h.i.+p.
They hurriedly shone their flashlights at the water, but they still only saw the splash of water.
Then, on the right side of the s.h.i.+p and the back of the boat, singing came one after another, and they also ran to the source of the singing with their flashlights, like playing whack-a-mole.
They once again confirmed that this song was definitely not the sound of an animal, but a language they could not understand.
What kind of thing could swim so fast?
Even a great white shark would not have such terrifying speed, unless it was a … Water ghost.
In the face of such a strange situation, the leader finally couldn’t hold on any longer. Anyway, they had come to the scene to check, so at least they weren’t cowards. They could explain themselves when they returned.
Hence, he ordered a retreat.
The guards felt as if they had been granted Amnesty. Unlike when they had come, they all paddled back with all their strength.
However, after paddling for a long time, the boat seemed to be frozen in the sea.
The Orca flock had already lifted up all the small boats from under the boat.
