Chapter 2 A clash of legends?(1/2)
The night is as thick as ink that cannot be melted.
Tonight is also a moonless night, and the stars have disappeared. The overcast clouds have brought an extremely gloomy atmosphere, as if it is about to rain, and it is so dark that you can't see your fingers.
The sea and the sky are extremely deep, as if they have merged into a whole in the night, and it is impossible to tell where the boundary between the sea and the sky is.
Perhaps due to coincidence, a very luxurious cruise ship is quietly moored at sea. The bright lights are magnificent, illuminating a large area of the surrounding sea water, and also reflecting the facilities and luxury on the ship in the water. The sound of people
There was a lot of excitement and excitement.
People coming and going on the ship are all well-dressed and upper-class people who exude an elite atmosphere. Of course, there are also people who are full of fat and potbellied.
People come and go, have cups and cups, talk and laugh, seemingly enthusiastic, and friendships are sincere and long-lasting, but in fact, the word "interest" is inseparable from the words, but I won't say it too straightforwardly.
And often the negotiations are not concluded immediately, and we always need to test each other again and again...
Of course——
The need to go around in circles like this shows that this is not a legal and reasonable power-for-money transaction, but this is also the purpose of this cruise ship here.
"...Then it's settled, let's drink to our friendship."
On the top observation deck, the owner of the cruise ship was sitting on a lounge chair, elegantly raising the red wine in his hand, and gently clinking glasses with an old man next to him.
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had reached some consensus.
The atmosphere was very pleasant, indicating that the result of their conversation was quite good.
When the ladies and other elites who were originally scattered around saw this, they also knew that this was a signal that the big bosses' conversation had come to an end. They all looked at each other, walked over tacitly, and behaved very naturally.
Drinking glasses, chatting, and toasting made the atmosphere on the originally relatively quiet observation deck become warm again.
But at this moment, a cold wind blew by.
The unusual cold feeling is different from the normal sea breeze. It is a terrible cold feeling that is bone-chilling. The moment the wind blows, the contrast between the front and back is huge, as if a person is sleeping soundly in a warm bed, and the sudden quilt is
The feeling of stripping off your clothes and throwing them into an ice cellar.
"..."
"..."
The sudden silence was as if someone had pressed the pause button. The whole ship was lively and cheerful, as if the cruise ship that had stayed up all night had suddenly stopped all movement.
Everyone on it, including guests, service staff, and security forces, stood frozen in place like a duck that was suddenly strangled by the neck, maintaining their original movements until several seconds passed.
They woke up one after another as if they were dreaming.
With a coaxing sound, the entire ship erupted into an astonishing sound. No one screamed or shouted out of control, but in the extreme silence, they suddenly reacted simultaneously, and the sounds that broke out overlapped, so
There will be this kind of noise phenomenon.
Some people were shivering in surprise, some people hurriedly put on the coats they had taken off not long ago due to the heat, and some people wondered where the cold wave came from and whether the weather was going to change...
But there was no weather forecast before, and it shouldn't have come so suddenly, quickly and urgently. The sea breeze was just right one moment, and the sea was calm at night, but why did it suddenly become so freezing cold the next moment, like
Is it able to freeze people directly?
"Haha... the wind is a bit cold..."
The old man who was so graceful just now didn't look good. His livid face didn't seem to catch his breath. He reached out for help to put on his coat and said this in a stiff tone to relieve the awkward atmosphere. After all,
Just now, I was chatting and laughing elegantly and calmly, but in the blink of an eye, I was trembling in front of the other person. It was really embarrassing.
It is impossible for people not to accept old age. Even those young and middle-aged people cannot bear the cold wind. Naturally, he almost lost half of his life at his age...
But that's not all.
The wind is getting stronger and more urgent, and the cold feeling spreads on the sea, causing people to change their colors.
In the restless night, the air is filled with an atmosphere of fear. A few pets on the ship are roaring restlessly. There is inevitably some kind of ominous premonition spreading in people's hearts. It has nothing to do with anything else. This is just a...
This is a beastly instinct related to danger that humans have had since ancient times.
Some people were eager to go back to their rooms to warm up, while others discovered an extremely terrifying problem with sharp eyes, and screamed like crazy.
"What's going on..."
"It's so cold, is it going to snow..."
"Look! Look at the sea over there! Look! It's actually frozen!"
Originally, in this situation, they would never be so rude, whether they were people with status, or people who got on the ship due to some reasons, whether they were maintaining their status or worried about leaving behind for the big bosses.
Even if you have a bad impression, you have to maintain the most basic restraint in public.
But now it's different, because they saw extremely terrible things!
People near the guardrail looked in the direction of the shouting people's fingers, and their pupils suddenly tightened!!
In the distance that the ship's searchlight can illuminate, a layer of frost is spreading on the sea surface at a speed visible to the naked eye. From there to this side, it is as amazing and terrifying as the special effects in a disaster movie. As the sea surface freezes, the frost
The special effects are spreading towards this side, and the cold feeling in the air is becoming more and more terrifying.
"Quick! Go back to the room!" Someone finally woke up in time and shouted loudly.
"Over there! What's over there!" A very sexy lady in a red dress shrank her pupils to the size of needle tips and exclaimed. She stretched out her hand and pointed tremblingly at the sky over there, where the unparalleled cold current was spreading.
In the direction of the source, people looked up one after another.

They saw an incredible sight.
A group of knights composed of ghosts, wearing rusty armor, holding lightning-shaped swords in their hands, riding skeleton horses across the sky in groups.
The noise is getting louder and louder.
As the nightmarish cavalry got closer and closer, the stunned people could see more and more clearly, including the horns on the former's helmet, as well as the skull-like face behind the face shield. The skeleton-like cavalry rode on the skeleton-like cavalry.
On the horse, light blue flames burned in the ethereal eye sockets.
"..."
"..."
The brief silence was finally followed by the first scream, breaking the silence on the cruise ship.
The nightmarish wild hunters also noticed the cruise ship appearing on the road ahead. They suddenly turned around and swooped down towards the sea below, like eagles trying to catch rabbits!
"Help!"
"Don't! Don't——!!"
The well-dressed people on the cruise ship could no longer care about their grace and ran in panic on the deck, screaming for their lives.
The scene was a messy and chaotic scene.
I don’t know how much time has passed. On the cruise ship that had become quiet early, some closed doors were carefully opened a crack, and the eyes inside looked outside in fear.
There were no horrific signs of massacre with blood all over the ground, flesh and blood flying everywhere, and broken limbs everywhere. There were only signs that some tables, chairs, meals, and red wine had been spilled, and they were all frozen in a layer of frost.
A bone-chilling chill emanated from it.
Of course, some people who had no time to run away disappeared...
"Wild Hunt! It's the Wild Hunt..."
"I've heard that anyone who stands in the way of the Wild Hunt will be taken away!"
"Mr. Victor and the others must be like this too..."
"Call the police! Hurry!"
It seemed that the people who were surviving the disaster were trembling with fear and no longer had any upper-class demeanor. They checked the people on the ship and found that a small number of people, mainly the owners of the cruise ship, seemed to be missing. According to some people, it seemed that they were missing.
In the panic, they did not run away, but were taken away directly by the ghostly cavalry.
This is a European region, and the Wild Hunt is a very important element in the myths and legends of various European countries.
The image of this concept in culture is very similar. Groups of phantoms are fully armed in the form of hunters or armies, riding horses and hounds to chase their prey crazily across the sky or the earth... For those who are unfortunate enough to appear on the wild hunting route.
People or people chasing the Wild Hunt are usually believed to be taken away by the Wild Hunt and eventually taken to the underworld.
Such highly overlapping situations made them understand it almost instantly, and they all excitedly made the same guess.
Although this kind of speculation is a mistake, it is rare that there is no mistake in the result - what just appeared is indeed the Wild Hunt, and the missing people were indeed captured directly by the Wild Hunt. Those crazy people
The ghosts hunt their targets and continue their traditions.
It is necessary to kidnap a few weak natives and interrogate some intelligence about the current world to help hunt down the real target, or to prepare for future plane conquest wars.
Shivering from the cold, the group of people were excited and scared and called the police uneasily. The excitement was because their past world view was impacted and they saw another side of the world. The fear was because they were afraid that the threat was still there.
At the end, the safety of myself and others is still not guaranteed.
The people on the cruise ship were either well-known or wealthy. Even if they lost control of their emotions and called the police for seemingly absurd reasons, they still had great appeal.
And precisely because of this, certain things spread further...
Many people began to wonder whether there is an unknown side to this world.
