Infinite Doomsday Escape

Chapter 159 The Cursed Sea Territory

A large number of water waves fainted on the blue and deep sea, and it was hard to see what was under the sea.

Under such a huge pull, the fishing net did not break open. Lan Xiaye's eyes sank, and she pulled the fishing net up with more force. This time she succeeded.

The fishing net was thrown onto the boat, and a very ugly fish was wrapped inside.

This fish is black and white, and looks disgusting like a fish that has lost its skin.

The bumps on the skin are full of dense small blisters, which are as disgusting as toads.

A pair of round eyes stared fiercely at Lan Xiaye and the fisherman, even when it landed on the shore, it was thrashing and struggling.

"We caught the fish, let's go back now." Seeing the fish, the fisherman breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately turned to the stern to pick up the oars and head back.

Lan Xiaye looked at the mutated ugly fish suspiciously, "Just catch one fish and bring it back?"

"No matter how much, we won't be able to go back." The fisherman replied hummingly.

"What do you mean?" Lan Xiaye asked.

The fisherman didn't answer any more, and silently slid his oars, turned the boat in one direction, and swam towards the beach.

Lan Xiaye, who had nothing to do, simply squatted down to observe this ugly fish. It was not big, just the size of a grass carp. It was hard to imagine that it was so strong just now, and it almost ran away.

It has been so long, and the fish, which has been out of the water for a long time, is still struggling vigorously, trying to jump up and swim into the sea.

Lan Xiaye picked up a fishing rod on the boat, trying to open the fish's mouth to see the structure of its teeth.

With a "click", the fish bit the fishing rod fiercely, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

The white and sharp teeth are distinct, and Lan Xiaye has new doubts. Since its teeth are so sharp, why doesn't it bite the fishing net and escape?
Is the net stronger than its teeth?Lan Xiaye wants to try the flexibility of the fishing net.

At this moment, the fisherman's taciturn voice said, "Don't touch it."

Lan Xiaye withdrew her hand in a sly manner, and said to the fisherman, "Brother, why is this fish so strong, I almost failed to pull it up just now."

Then the fisherman said, "This is a cursed fish."

Cursed fish?
Lan Xiaye looked at the fisherman puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

The fisherman frowned impatiently, "Didn't your boss tell you?"

"say what?"

The fisherman frowned, looked at the coastline, and there was still some distance to the shore, so he simply explained to Lan Xiaye in detail: "This sea area is cursed. A year ago, the sea water was still very clear, and there were many fish in it." It's normal, everything is normal. I forget when it started, this sea area has become more and more strange, all the fish have become like this ghost, this fish is not bad, and there are even scarier and uglier fish. At that time, fishermen and big boats going out to sea often went missing."

Speaking of the big boat, the fisherman flinched in fear, "A year ago, our largest ship went missing at sea, and a whole [-] people and a boat of that size disappeared. Until yesterday, it suddenly came back and docked on the shore , but there was no one inside."

Lan Xiaye cheered up and approached, "You mean the empty ship that has been missing for a year has come back by itself?"

"Yes." The fisherman nodded wearily. "Because of this, few people are willing to go to sea recently."

When the wooden boat docked, the fisherman had no intention of continuing the conversation. He skillfully tied up the small wooden boat and dragged the fishing net to the shore.

After such a long time, the fish in the fishing net lost their vitality and swayed their tails.

Lan Xiaye was horrified by such a strong vitality. Usually fish would die of lack of water not long after leaving the water, but this fish persisted until now.

If she guessed right, this is just a very common fish in the sea, so what will happen to other larger and more aggressive fish?
"Let's go." The fisherman dragged the fish and walked ahead, "I will return to the Water Bureau with you to hand in the task."

Lan Xiaye immediately followed the fisherman, and they walked out of the golden sandy beach, gradually the terrain became more and more flat and open, surrounded by low wooden houses.

After walking for another 5 minutes, the fisherman stopped outside a small wooden hut, and he dragged his voice tiredly: "Hurry up and open the door, I brought the fish back."

The wooden door was pushed open from the inside, revealing a boy with a hippie smile. The little boy was not tall, and he just reached Lan Xiaye's thigh. He saw the fish in the fishing net and greeted him happily. He wanted to take the fishing net, but was caught The fisherman waved it open.

"What about the promised salary?"

The boy smiled and said, "Here I will bring it to you."

He took out a few silver coins from his pocket and handed them to the fisherman, and then the fisherman handed over the fishing net to the boy. By the way, he nodded at Lan Xiaye with his chin: "This is a new sailor in your bureau, and I sent it back for you by the way." .”

The little boy uttered an oh, and beckoned for Lan Xiaye to follow him into the cabin.

The light in the cabin was very bright, a blanket was spread on the floor, several people sat cross-legged on it, and several people lay on it.

The three people sitting cross-legged, Lan Xiaye could tell at a glance that they were taskers.

A mature woman with a plump figure, a young man wearing a peaked cap, the brim of which covered most of his face, and a strong man with a cold face.

The little boy threw the fishing net on the ground and kicked each of the people lying on the ground briskly.

"Get up! The newcomers are here."

The other three missionaries raised their eyes and looked at them.

"Understood." A shirtless man scratched his hair and sat up, "You four know about the ghost ship, right?"

Except for the cold-faced strong man who shook his head, the other three said they knew.

The man glanced at the cold-faced strong man, and said it reluctantly.

It is similar to what the fisherman said, that is, a big ship disappeared for a year and suddenly returned empty.

"Then what do you want us to do?" the woman asked the man with affectionate eyebrows.

The man said: "The higher-ups want this ship to return to sea, and want you to investigate where the three hundred missing sailors have gone? What happened to this ship."

"We don't know how to sail," said the young man in the hat.

"Oh, of course, I will assign sailors and captains for you, and you only need to investigate this bizarre incident."

The man didn't give the four people a chance to refuse at all, and sent them away after telling them the time to sail the boat dictatorially.

The little boy led the four of them to their respective rooms, and the two shared a room.

Lan Xiaye shared a room with the woman, and the other two men.

The room was small and dimly lit and the two beds took up a lot of space.

The woman didn't even look at the room, she leaned up, leaned against the wall lightly, and walked towards the hall where she was just now.

　Spoiler alert, in worlds above B level, maps and events are not limited to one place, and there is no fixed number of taskers.The events are inspired by real events in the Bermuda Triangle.
