The guards, who had been brainwashed by suspicious dogma, might not be afraid of tangible things. Even if the FBI special police came, they would dare to fight with real guns and live ammunition. But as long as they were theists, they would have things they were afraid of, especially ghosts and demons.
They were scared out of their wits by Sihwa's illusory singing that went straight to the bottom of their hearts. Their heavy breathing was like that of an old man who was about to die.
Staunch atheists often couldn't understand such fear. They might be afraid when they heard the singing in the middle of the night, but they wouldn't be afraid to this extent because they were afraid of people, not ghosts.
"Don't panic! Someone must be playing tricks! "
The head of the guards forced himself to calm down and shouted to the others.
They were most afraid of the five executioners during the day. They were the ones who threw Megan into the sea with their own hands. They still remembered her desperate and hateful eyes before she died.
"No! No! Boss! It must be that woman during the day! I understand this song. She's cursing us! It can't be wrong! She wants to come back and strangle us, then drag us to the bottom of the sea … or directly drag us to the bottom of the sea and drown us alive! "
The five of them were like a sieve, constantly retreating.
"Nonsense! With Heavenly Master Li here, how would the ghosts dare to cause trouble! " The head scolded. In fact, he was also very guilty because the singing was too strange. No matter how he thought about it, it didn't seem like it could be sung by a human.
"You guys, come with me! Let's row over and take a look. No matter who's playing tricks, I'll skin them alive! "The head ordered.
There were a few wooden boats docked on the dock, tied to wooden stakes with hemp ropes, drifting with the waves.
They also had a modern yacht, but it was not there at the moment. It had gone to San Francisco to buy daily necessities. Those farmers worked like cattle and horses because, according to Heavenly Master Li's teachings, they had sinned in their previous lives. In this life, they were paying off the debts of their previous lives. The guards, Heavenly Master Li, and the Oracle, of course could not eat like them. After all, they were all good people in their ten lifetimes.
Without a yacht, they could only row a small boat to the sea to see what was going on.
Hearing this order, the guards felt their legs turn to jelly. If it was a normal day, it would be fine. But in this pitch-black night, wasn't rowing a small boat to approach the vengeful spirits? Wasn't this courting death?
"Boss, why don't we pretend we didn't hear it? Or we can go tomorrow morning …" Someone suggested, and it was unanimously supported by the others.
"Bullshit! On such a cloudy day, there were still at least ten hours before dawn! Just let her sing for the whole night? Startling the Heavenly Master and Divine Envoy, which one of us can bear the responsibility? "The leader roared.
The other guards were speechless after being reprimanded. It was hard to say which was more terrible, being killed by the female ghost or offending the Celestial Master Oracle.
If it was a female ghost on land, they could ask the Cat God to send a cat to investigate, but when it came to the sea, they could only rely on cannon fodder like them.
Left with no choice, they could only bite the bullet and untie the boats. They split into several groups and drove their own boats towards the entrance of the bay.
They were big and burly, but now they were like delicate girls. When they rowed the boat, they did not put in any effort. They all wanted to let the other boats go first and their own boat fall behind. If there was any danger, it would be easier for them to escape.
On each boat, there was a person lying on the bow with a flashlight, staring ahead.
As they got closer and closer to the source of the singing, all of them were sweating, and their hearts were beating so fast that it felt like they were about to have a heart attack. They were afraid that they would see something … scary.
But what they were afraid of happened. Someone's flashlight suddenly shone on a blurry figure on the surface of the sea. He screamed and even dropped the flashlight into the water.
He saw that there was indeed a woman in the sea, but the woman was not sitting in another boat, nor was she swimming on the surface of the sea. Instead … her upper body was sticking out of the sea, and her hair was disheveled. She was staring at him coldly.
She … seemed to be standing in the sea as if she was weightless.
They were very familiar with the bay. The bay was a natural shelter. There were no reefs in the channel, and it was impossible for someone to stand on the reefs with only their upper body exposed.
So how did this woman … stand still in the sea?
As for her appearance, the man did not have the time to see clearly because he was too far away and panicked. He could only confirm that she was a white woman from the color of her skin, just like the woman who had drowned during the day.
His sudden scream scared the rest of the people on the boat.
"What's wrong? What did you see? "the leader yelled.
"Ghost … It's a ghost … The woman from the day has turned into a water ghost and is here to claim our lives!" The man's face was pale as he pointed in the direction of the woman. He bit his tongue several times to the point that his tongue was bleeding, but he did not feel any pain.
"Are you f * cking sure you're not seeing things?"
The others felt a chill run down their spines, and they shone their flashlights in the direction that he was pointing at. Their sudden movements caused the boat to sway from side to side.
However, they were too late. The flashlight only shone on a large splash, like some kind of larger animal that was quickly sinking into the sea. At the same time, the singing disappeared.
"Did you see a seal or a manatee? There are many seals and some manatees around here. I heard that in ancient times, sailors thought of manatees as mermaids. Is your brain full of women? Do you think a manatee is a woman? "
The leader's explanation seemed to make sense, but how could they explain the singing?
"It could be the cry of a seal or a manatee." The leader tried to explain, but it was difficult to convince the others. They had heard the cry of a seal many times, and it was completely different from the singing just now.
Just as they were in a dilemma, the singing sounded again, this time from the left side of the boat.
They quickly shone their flashlights, but they still only shone on the surging water.
Then, on the right side of the boat, behind the boat, the singing sounded one after another. They ran around tirelessly and shone their flashlights in the direction of the singing, like playing whack-a-mole.
They confirmed again that the singing was not the cry of an animal, but some kind of language that they did not understand.
What could swim so fast?
Even a great white shark did not have such a terrifying speed, unless it was … a water ghost.
In the face of such a strange situation, the leader finally could not hold on anymore. Anyway, they had come to the scene to investigate, and at least they were not cowards. When they went back, they would have an explanation.
So, he ordered a retreat.
The guards felt as if they had been granted amnesty. Unlike when they came, they all used all their strength to paddle backward.
However, they rowed for a long time, but the boat did not move, as if it was frozen in the sea.
The group of killer whales had lifted all the boats from the bottom of the boat.
