Chapter 164 In the Sea!

The sea, oh sea, you're all water...

Zhou Ze leaned against the door frame, watching the surging waves outside with some helplessness and a headache. He felt a sense of powerlessness, like standing up from a pile of corpses after a fierce battle, only to find another group of enemy cavalry charging towards him.

It was as if all previous efforts were a joke, a farce, utterly meaningless.

"Boss! Come quickly, Boss!"

Bai Yingying suddenly shouted from upstairs, as if an emergency had occurred.

Zhou Ze looked up, then tentatively reached a hand outside, the touch icy cold, unusually real.

Actually, everyone knew in their hearts that this was fake, it had to be fake.

It wasn't like the Dragon King in myths and legends flooding Chentang Pass and forcing Nezha to death. Zhou Ze couldn't believe that the Sea God would really flood Tongcheng just to trouble a ghost messenger like himself.

Firstly, the other party probably didn't have such exaggerated supernatural powers.

Secondly, even if he did, he wouldn't dare to do so.

The seawater was fake, but the problem was that it could deceive all your senses, making every perception from top to bottom believe that you were drowning.

This could be a form of hypnosis, but it transcended hypnosis. Ghosts generally used this method to lure and kill people, but when this one used it, it was even more terrifying.

Zhou Ze believed that even if he made a wooden raft and drifted out, the Sea God could make him drift on the sea for ten days or half a month without any change, literally letting him die of thirst, starvation, or drowning.

Supporting the wall, Zhou Ze slowly walked up the stairs. Bai Yingying had just called him.

When Zhou Ze emerged from the stairwell with some difficulty, he found that he was not on the second floor of a residential building, but on the deck of a cruise ship.

"Boss, things have changed here."

Bai Yingying stood on the deck, calling out to Zhou Ze.

"Where are the old man and the woman?" Zhou Ze asked.

Bai Yingying had been assigned to the second floor to protect the old man and the woman, but now Bai Yingying was alone.

Then, Zhou Ze subconsciously sat down in a chair to the side, letting out a sigh of relief. There was a sunshade over his head, and drinks were nearby.

Zhou Ze was really tired. It was a great fortune that this body hadn't fallen apart after being tossed around so much. Now, even a slight movement caused pain in every joint.

"I don't know. I just felt a blur in front of my eyes, and then I found myself on the cruise ship."

Bai Yingying looked around and continued:

"Although I know all this is fake, similar to the illusion techniques my mistress used to use, it's so realistic. Even the salty taste in the air is the same."

Zhou Ze nodded, picked up the cup next to him, poured some ice water, took two sips, and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, this cruise ship should be the one that had the accident five years ago. Look around, that family should be here." Zhou Ze reminded her.

"What should we do if we find them?"

"I don't know, I don't know any illusion techniques."

Zhou Ze rubbed his temples. What's done is done. Since that Sea God wasn't going to give up, he could only wait and respond. After all, the two sides weren't on the same level.

In fact, Zhou Ze had always felt like he was being roasted over a fire. The key reason was that the Sea God was too high up and disdained to chat with him, let alone negotiate or discuss terms.

Bai Yingying obediently went upstairs to search. The cruise ship had three levels: the middle deck, the upper deck, and the cabin level. Soon, Bai Yingying came down from above and said:

"There's no one upstairs."

"Then go down and take a look."

Bai Yingying went down to take a look again. When Zhou Ze came up, the lower level was still the original appearance of the living room, but when Bai Yingying went down, it had turned into the cabin area.

"Boss, still no one," Bai Yingying called out after finishing her search.

"No one?"

This made Zhou Ze feel a little incredulous.

"That's right, I went to every room below and confirmed that there's no one, not even a crew member. The cruise ship is just drifting on the sea by itself."

"That shouldn't be."

Zhou Ze muttered to himself.

Those in higher positions always liked to play tricks with karma, probably because it made them seem more high-class, like Bodhi giving Sun Wukong three taps on the back of the head.

Earlier, when he saw the sea and then the cruise ship, Zhou Ze thought that the Sea God wanted them to see how that scene five years ago had happened.

Or rather, the Sea God wanted to punish the person he wanted to punish while showing off a high-end operation, impressing you so much that you could only clap your hands and shout:

"Oh,

I see,

Indeed,

Unbelievable,

666666666!"

But now, you've only created a sea and a cruise ship. Apart from himself and Bai Yingying, there were no extras?

How was this script supposed to continue?

Could it be that the Sea God's battery was low, so he only managed to do half of it?

"Check again, see if there's any other information."

Zhou Ze could only grit his teeth and stand up, walking down first, while Bai Yingying went to check upstairs again.

Please don't let it be a half-finished product due to a low battery.

Zhou Ze could only shout in his heart. If the Sea God was just setting up a stage to show off in front of him, the worst outcome would be that the Sea God succeeded, showing off in his face, and then the people who were supposed to die would die, and he wouldn't be able to save them, so the final payment would be gone. But afterwards, everyone could go back to their own homes and find their own mothers.

But if it was a half-finished product, how was this script supposed to play out?

Would he and Bai Yingying just stand here awkwardly?

God knows how long this illusion could last. He didn't know anything about this aspect. Bai Yingying might know a little, but she was just a beginner. He couldn't possibly stay in this damn place for decades, waiting for Bai Yingying to cultivate to be more powerful, or for himself to evolve further, before he could get out?

During this time, there was no plum juice, let alone food. His body couldn't last that long without eating.

Thinking about it, Zhou Ze actually deliberately stretched his head out to the porthole to look at the sea below.

Were there any fish?

If there were fish, he could survive by eating them.

But this look was important. Zhou Ze suddenly found that on the side of the hull, there was a mass of black things gathered below the surface of the water, like seaweed, constantly drifting with the waves, but never leaving the deck.

Zhou Ze subconsciously bent down, reached out with his crutch, wanting to poke it, but failed, and almost fell into the sea himself.

In his current state, comparable to a seventy or eighty-year-old grandpa, if he fell in, he could only drown, and he wouldn't even be able to struggle.

"Yingying."

Zhou Ze shouted upstairs.

"Dong dong dong..."

Bai Yingying quickly ran down.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

"Go into the water and see what this is." Zhou Ze pointed below and said.

Bai Yingying peered down and noticed the black seaweed, and immediately jumped down.

Graceful posture,

Standard movements,

Small splash.

After falling into the water, Bai Yingying continued to dive down with the help of inertia, while Zhou Ze waited above.

About half a minute later, Bai Yingying floated to the surface. At this time, the female zombie was wet all over, and even her skin was a little pale. Zhou Ze didn't think that Bai Yingying was frozen because the seawater temperature was too low.

Were zombies afraid of the cold?

Was that possible?

"What is that?" Zhou Ze asked.

"Boss, they... they..."

"Speak quickly." Zhou Ze urged.

This was related to whether he and Bai Yingying could leave this damn place.

"They are all down there, Boss, the whole family is down there."

Bai Yingying pointed below.

"All down there?" Zhou Ze was a little surprised, and at the same time thought of something, pointing to the black seaweed below and saying: "This is hair?"

"Yes, it's hair." Bai Yingying affirmed.

"They all drowned?"

"Um..."

Bai Yingying showed a very cute expression, a little tangled, a little embarrassed, and a little at a loss.

If the distance wasn't too far and his crutch wasn't long enough, Zhou Ze would have liked to raise his crutch and hit her head at this time. At this time, you're still soaking in the water and acting cute?

"Boss, you jump down and see for yourself, it's not easy to describe." Bai Yingying simply said.

"..." Zhou Ze.

If I could jump down, why didn't I jump down directly and instead called you here?

"Boss, come down, I'll catch you." Bai Yingying opened her arms, "You really have to see the things below yourself."

Zhou Ze hesitated for a moment, then simply threw down his crutch and flipped over, jumping off the deck.

With a "plop," he fell into the water,

Then Zhou Ze was hugged by Bai Yingying.

"Boss, take a deep breath, I'll take you diving. If you need to breathe, pinch me."

"..." Zhou Ze.

Immediately afterwards, after seeing Zhou Ze take a deep breath, Bai Yingying directly took Zhou Ze to dive. Her physical fitness was very strong, even surpassing those swimming athletes, so even with Zhou Ze as a burden, she was still free to move in the water.

After entering the water,

What Zhou Ze saw first was a large iron cage that was leaning against the side of the ship, as if nailed to the spot.

In this iron cage, there was also a large offering table fixed. On the offering table were the statues and tablets of the gods, which were actually that Sea God's. Even the offerings on it were fixed there, so that they remained relatively still in the water with the iron cage.

At the same time,

In the iron cage,

Twenty-odd people,

Men, women, old, and young,

Constantly drifting with the waves in the iron cage,

Some people were below,

Some people were in the middle,

There was a woman who was about twenty years old who was the most pitiful.

Her head was stuck in the gap at the top of the iron cage and was accidentally fixed,

Then her hair extended out,

Above,

Drifting,

Drifting...

Sorry, everyone, Long's body is a little uncomfortable today and there are some things to do, so the update is late. There will be another chapter later at dawn.

Don't panic,

Hold Long tight!
