after waking up.

Chapter 6 The Flame Blooms
At this moment, the boys and girls over there are no longer as calm as they used to be. Anyone can see that they are frightened. There are people nearby who are watching them curiously, and even the restaurant waiter who is familiar with them asks them about their situation, but both of them shrank. In the corner beside the door, he covered his ears with a pale face, and answered irrelevant questions in his mouth.

"Sound, the sound is scary!"

"I'm scared! It's coming again, it's so close, so close!"

A restaurant waiter next to him felt a little inexplicable. He squatted down and reached out to touch the boy's forehead. Except for the sweat on his hands, he didn't feel very hot.

"What sound? Are you sick?"

The waiter is different from the people who are watching with curiosity. He has a good relationship with this boy and girl. He is one of the very few people who really care about their situation. When he was about to say something, a voice was more prominent than others. The voice came from outside the onlookers.

"What did you hear, was it singing?"

The voice came from Mulan who was near here. He had already whispered sorry to the others, then reached the boy and girl, and handed the waiter a banknote with a portrait of the king.

"Check out for me, this is my meal bill."

"Uh, fine sir."

When the waiter took the banknotes subconsciously, Mulan was already half-squatting in front of the boy and girl, looking at the panicked eyes of the two and asking again.

"Is there no lyrics, just a humming sound?"

The pupils of the boy and girl were slightly dilated, and his attention finally focused on Mulan, and his tone was also a little excited.

"You heard it too? Did you hear it too?"

"It's singing, singing!"

Mulan nodded.

"It's a beautiful song, but it's inexplicably creepy when you hear it. Do you have anything to tell me?"

Although Mulan's words were addressed to the boy and girl, his voice was not inaudible, and the onlookers next to him also heard their conversation.

"Singing?" "Where is the singing?"

"I didn't hear it." "Me too."

The people on the side were talking, and some people were listening. After all, the boys and girls were incoherent before, but it was different from the mouths of people like Mulan, but obviously, apart from the noise of the restaurant and the storm and waves outside They didn't hear anything except the voice.

One of the guests didn't hear it after trying to listen for a while, but he suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but say something.

"There is really no singing, but I thought of a rumor."

Mulan was still asking the boy and girl in a low voice, but the two of them just covered their ears and shook their heads, their faces very ugly, but after hearing the guest's words, Mulan turned her head sharply to look at each other.

"What rumors, please tell me in detail."

The guest glanced at the storm outside the cabin window, thought for a moment, and said.

"Six months ago, the Higgins lost its way in the storm. It was supposed to go to Mariehamn. When it finally appeared, it was seriously off course. When it arrived at the Glen Peninsula, the number of people on board was less than half. It was said that it was because of the storm, but Crew and passengers also reported in newspapers that they heard melodic singing from the storm."

Before the man could finish his words, a bearded man wearing a deers hunting hat couldn't help but blurt out a sentence.

"Do you mean to say the sea monster?"

"It was in the newspaper at the time, not what I said, but it does make people think about it, especially at sea in this weather."

It's like telling a horror story late at night in the right atmosphere.

The words of the two made some passengers on the side of the boat feel slightly hairy, and even the noise in the restaurant seemed to have a chain reaction. People nearby rubbed their hands, and people in the distance realized that there was no sound, and stopped subconsciously. After speaking and observing, gradually the whole restaurant became quiet.

Of course, in addition to the hair in most people's hearts, there are also some young people who have a curious mentality. After all, although the rumors of the banshee in the sea are not good, the legend also says that the banshee is very beautiful.

"Sea Banshee?"

Mulan didn't have any impression of this. He didn't pay attention to these things before thinking about it, but he immediately realized something. He took off the coat from his shoulders and put it on his knees. Then he took out a prototype metal like a pocket watch from the inner pocket with his right hand. Object, it will automatically flip up when you press the top cover lightly.

This is a direction table, or something like a compass, which is standard for Dilgar officers during the war, so that the army can assist in ensuring its own orientation during war deployment.

At this moment, the compass of the direction table is consistent with the direction of the restaurant bar, and the direction of the bar is exactly the direction of the ship's bow.

At this moment, including Mulan, everyone who understood the direction table and understood the meaning of it all felt their scalps tingle.

"Our ship is off course, and it should be heading northeast along Bodia Bay!"

"When did it happen?" "Where is it sailing now?"

"I don't know, it's sailing north!"

"What's ahead? What's up north?"

The passengers on the side were all panicked, and the singing seemed to be responding to everyone's fear, and another clear humming sound reached Mulan's ears.

Mulan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Thanks to the tempering on the battlefield, he seemed extremely calm at the moment, and he was able to remove the interference of fear on consciousness.

Intuition told him that [-]% was an extraordinary event, and it was a situation that was likely to threaten his safety.

When he breathed out, Mulan had removed the hanging bandage on his left arm around his neck and threw it on the ground, moved his left hand that was still wrapped in the bandage, then stood up and swung his coat to wear it. superior.

"I'm going to the cab to see, is there any one?"

When Mulan asked this question, the people around looked at each other, and it took a while for someone to respond to him.

"I will go with you."

"I'm going too!" "Count me!"

The speakers were a young man in a sweater and suspenders, a casual man in a wool cap, and a bearded gentleman in a deerstalker hat.

"Who knows the cab?"

"I, I know." "Let's go too!"

The two boys and girls who had fallen into fear finally woke up and spoke out one after another. Mulan didn't care about that much, picked them up from the ground one by one, turned around and left a sentence and left the restaurant directly.

"If you want to keep up, it's better for others to gather together and not spread out. Who knows the cab?"

Those who said they were going together just now followed, and the bearded man wearing a deerstalker hat hurriedly returned to his original dining table, picked up his silver-handled cane, and hurriedly chased everyone away.

If there are really sea monsters, then there is no doubt that they are in danger. Even if not, it is certain that the ship is deviating from the course at this moment, and it is understandable to go to the cab to confirm the reason.

Mulan took the boy and girl in front, and the others followed closely. A group of eight or nine people hurriedly walked in the cabin aisle. Some places were quiet, and some places could hear the noise in other hull cabins and halls. .

But they will not tell others about the situation they are facing at the moment. They only tell the fact that the hull is deviating from the direction when they bump into someone on the road. From the middle cabin all the way to the height of the hull, the team has expanded to a dozen people. .

The front is the cab.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

The cockpit of the Princess Nicehurri is on the high driving deck, and on the cabin passage leading to the cockpit here, the storm outside is particularly obvious, but it is corresponding to the quietness of the surrounding cabins.

Everyone, including Mulan, was a little nervous. The former calmed down and reached for the door handle, but before that, the bearded gentleman wearing a deerstalker hat handed over a cane.

"Sir, you should be an officer, right? This is for you. Inside the cane is a silver short sword, which can be pulled out by turning the handle."

Mulan glanced at the other party and did not refuse. He took the cane with his left hand and gently twisted the door handle with his right to open the cab door.

A group of people watched from the outside, it was quiet inside, the kerosene lights in the room seemed a little dim, the cab was illuminated by lightning from time to time, the whole cab looked a little empty, only one helmsman stood on the helm Hold on to the rudder.

When Mulan was about to step into the cab, the lightning on the left side shone a long figure in front of the door. Almost at the same time, a warning sign appeared in Mulan's heart.

'Someone is hiding by the door! '

The next second, a figure suddenly flashed out of the cab door, but Mulan's reaction was faster than the other party's. Before the other party had time to raise his hand, he had already kicked out fiercely.
The huge force actually kicked the person off the ground, and then slammed into the operating table behind him with a "bang".

Then, almost at the same time that the attacker slammed into the console and attracted everyone's attention, Mulan suddenly rushed into the cab and grabbed a pistol that fell from the attacker's hand.

At the moment when he caught a glimpse of it, Mulan, relying on the instinct of the battlefield, had already raised his gun and shot at the shadow hiding on the other side of the door.

"Bang, bang, bang~~~"

The three gunshots were more frightening than the sound of thunder, causing all the people outside the door to crouch down, while Mulan, who was indoors, had already lowered his body. The man was clutching his stomach with a painful expression on his face, unable to move for the time being.

Mulan was in a state of excitement, and the intense tension made him gasp for breath. As an officer who came down from a brutal battlefield, as a soldier who was quite confident in his marksmanship, he had no doubts about the accuracy of the three shots.

However, in the direction of Mulan's shooting, there were only three bullet holes in the wall not far apart.

It was just a shadow, and there was no one at all?
No, no, I can't read it wrong!

"Umm~~~~ha~~~~"

A beautiful melody came again, and Mulan's hair stood up, and turned to look in the direction of the singing. Outside the cabin of the cockpit, a figure was looking at him close to the glass.

This figure is a woman, her body is hazy, and a layer of mist is shrouded in the rain. Even so, she can still be seen naked, and her body and face are very beautiful.

If only she didn't have those five conspicuous blood holes.
The blood hole is still oozing blood at this moment, like a spider web of blood threads, dyeing the piece of glass with a blush.

"Umm~ah~~~~"

The woman opened her mouth slightly and let out a beautiful melody, and there was a similar melody in the ocean responding.

Banshee?

Mulan's pupils dilated slightly, and then immediately contracted sharply. He saw the woman stretch out her hand in his direction. The feeling of almost grabbing him was so strong that he jumped back in an instant and threw it away. Pulling out his pistol at the same time.

A burning sensation of iron and blood ran through Mulan's body along the revolver.

To you, death!

"boom--"

At the moment of the gunshot, a round of flames bloomed.
