   Chapter 226 One hundred and forty one. Birth

"trouble."

   "What's the trouble?"

   "Staying on deck will only bother us, but staying in the cabin will kill us."

   The trouble she was talking about was a ghost? or something else?

   Lu Li still didn't know what the root cause was, the woman in black robe didn't want to talk too much about it.

  5 minutes after returning to the captain's room, the fourth wave of shadows climbed out of the deck and rushed to the captain's room under the command of the shadow captain.

   "The interval between their return is shortening." Lu Li looked at the black-robed woman who shot Captain Shadow's head and blocked the door and waved the psychic gun as a fire stick.

"felt it."

   said the black-robed woman who stabbed Shadow's head with a gun barrel.

   At this time, it was 4:55, less than an hour before dawn.

  The interval between their appearances has changed from the first ten minutes to seven or eight minutes now - which means that after the time is delayed for half an hour, they still have to face more than six waves of shadows.

   "Can your sanity hold up?" Lu Li asked.

   "At least it won't be worse than you."

"You knew already?"

"Um."

   Lu Li didn't ask her how she knew, standing behind the black-robed woman, helping her solve the shadow that suddenly appeared from the floor.

  The shadows are destroyed by half, and the remaining shadows disperse by themselves. After a five-minute rest, the fifth wave of shadows climbed out of the ground.

  The sixth wave, the seventh wave, the eighth wave…

boom!

   scattered the twelve ghosts, and then shot the captain's shadow on the deck twenty meters away. The black-robed woman put away the gun, panted slightly and said to Lu Li, "Get ready to go."

   "Where to go?"

   "Side, wait for the dawn."

   "It's hard to defend there." Lu Li frowned.

   "There is no other way, we may not catch the sunrise by staying here, we don't know the exact time."

   This sentence made Lu Li think of something. He reached into his pocket with the palm of his hand and took out a pocket watch.

   Lifted the watch cover, the time of this damaged bag watch that was not in use has solidified, pointing to 5:30.

   Does the time of the pocket watch given to him by this whale ghost is a metaphor for something...

   The black-robed woman beside him noticed what Lu Li was holding: "Where did you get it?"

   "In the cabin."

   "That could be a clue to the time of dawn."

   "I think so too." After closing the lid, Lu Li tilted his head and asked. "Do you want to try?"

  The woman in black robe stuffed the last two bullets into the barrel of the gun and slammed the breech with a click: "I can do it."

  Lu Li's eyes were lowered for a few seconds, then raised: "Then stay in the captain's room and go to the side of the ship when the time is approaching."

  5:15, 15 minutes before dawn, the third minute from the last shadow attack.

   The ninth wave of shadows crawled out of the black matter covering the deck and slowly walked towards the two of them in the captain's room.

   The black-robed woman's movements began to slow down. Lu Li borrowed a psychic spear from her and waved it as a blunt weapon to smash the surrounding shadows.

  5:19, 11 minutes before dawn, the second minute from the last shadow attack.

   The tenth wave of shadows appeared.

  A shadow silently walked behind Lu Li, he reacted in time and smashed the shadow away, but his arm was inevitably touched by the shadow's fingertips, and the almost dry shirt penetrated into a large area of ​​black matter.

   "Don't be touched by it, black mud will be produced where the shadow touches, slowing down, I think you should know."

"Um."

  5:21, nine minutes before dawn, one minute after the last shadow attack.

   The eleventh wave of shadows appeared.

  The woman in black robe raised her arm and pulled the trigger with her bandaged fingers.

boom!

   Thick black smoke emerged from the muzzle, and the captain's shadow on the deck dispersed, but after more than ten seconds, its shadow climbed out of the ground again.

  The appearance of the shadows will no longer have an interval, and the two will no longer be given rest time.

   The woman in black robe dropped her arms: "We can't hold it anymore. We can't let them entangle us, think of a way."

   Lu Li asked, "How long can you last?"

"30 seconds."

   "Go to the cabin entrance, I'll find a way."

"Walk."

   The woman in black robe approached the stairs.

  Lu Li turned his head to look at the captain's room at this moment, and wrote down the time: 5:22.

   She threw a psychic gun as a consumable item, the psychic gun scattered the two shadows, lost strength and landed on the stairs, and was kicked by the black-robed woman who followed.

The    psychic gun blasted out, smashing the head of a ghost, and falling to the distant deck.

   The woman in black robe pulled the trigger down the stairs, and there was a loud bang, and the shadows on the entire stairs were instantly cleared.

   And almost at the same time, the shadow crawled out of the deck again and walked silently.

   "Back into the hold and attack if they get close."

   Taking advantage of the gap, the two escaped to the cabin, Lu Li left a sentence, turned and ran into the cabin.

   The black-robed woman withdrew her gaze and looked at the dark shadows surrounded by the darkness.

   Almost pressed for the thirty seconds she said, there was a messy sound from the depths of the cabin, and Lu Li came from the depths of the cabin, followed by a dark and strange figure behind him.

   She raised her psychic gun to the cabin, and put it down again.

   Lu Li was not running in a hurry, those strange figures were not chasing Lu Li.

  Lu Li came to her, and the strange figures passed by them like rocks in a stream, rushing downstream.

  The four-to-five-meter-high whale phantom is like a giant beast, rampant and unstoppable. The octopus figure is wearing a pair of boots, and with a ridiculous movement, he uses his tentacles to sever a shadow's chest. The chef shadows wielded machetes and sliced ​​open the shadows. The shark phantom turned into an afterimage, shuttled between the shadows, leaving behind a scattered shadow. A few dwarf shadows jumped onto the shadow's back and smashed down with their tools. The bullhorn slashed forward with an axe in hand.

  !

   There was a tremor under his feet, sawdust on the deck splashed, and a few shadows flew into the air. A few meters thick, tentacle-like thick vines drilled out of the plank from the lower cabin, and violently fell to the deck one by one shadows.

   One side is destroying the dead, and the other side is infinite rebirth.

The pressure around    disappeared instantly, and the black-robed woman put away her psychic gun and walked towards the side of the ship.

   "Why would they help you?"

   "Because I helped them."

"interesting……"

   On the messy deck, the two came to the side of the ship, and the woman in black looked at the battle on the deck: "The time is almost up, do you have anything to say to them at the end?"

  Lu Li took out the water bottle, poured the remaining water into the palm of his hand, and discarded the empty bottle.

   "Thank you, come to Belfast when you have time."

   he said to the ghosts on the deck who were helping him.

   "It's really your style." The black-robed woman commented and started the countdown: "The countdown is ten seconds, nine seconds, eight seconds...three seconds...one second."

"Jump!"

   Time reached 5:30.

  The wet palm wiped in front of his eyes, and Lu Li's figure jumped into the pitch-black sea. The moment both feet hit the sea, all pressure disappeared, as if the sea was a thin film, passing through it to reach another brand-new world.

  The sky was spinning and the sea was briefly washed up. At this moment, Lu Li saw the golden dawn tearing through the clouds and pouring over the entire ocean.
