[R18] Global College Entrance Examination – “Global College Entrance Examination” Chapter 61 [English]

☆, Chapter 61 Breaking the Waves

The merchant ship returned to its original position, and they were shaken around and faced the white face again.

The helmsman was thrown out by the inertia and almost got a kiss on the face.he screamed and rolled back.

“Everyone! Get off the cabin!” The captain stood on the rope-tying pile and shouted the order.

The white wind was so fierce that he couldn’t even open his eyes.

After yelling, he was grabbed by someone, and a large number of crew members jumped into the cabin in a well-trained manner.

A large number of people fled in panic, but You Huo did not retreat but advanced.

he took a few steps towards the white wind wall, as if he wanted to see something…

“Stop looking! Do you want to die?!” The first mate yelled in Chinese again, and yanked him: “Get off quickly!”

In the blink of an eye, the decks of the three merchant ships were cleared, and everyone got into the cabin.

The crew immediately sealed the trap door, pulled the rope on the door and sat down on the stairs, their faces bloodless.

The first mate leaned against the rope and gasped for a while, finally recovering from the shock.

“What is that?” he asked. “It was so urgent and chaotic just now that I didn’t even see it clearly. I just pushed the person down.”

Di Li hung on the same rope as he, and said angrily: “Your angel, come to see him off.”

First mate: “…”

He finally began to doubt the authenticity of the legend and shouted angrily: “Captain——”

The captain had just roared so hard that he was short of oxygen, and now he was holding a hat to fan himself.He seemed to be shocked by the pretty boy and not happy.

“What’s wrong?” asked the captain.

The first mate said: “Where did you hear the legend? Is it a little different from reality?”

The captain sighed, with a confused look on his face: “If a legend can be verified, will it still be called a legend?”

Di Li couldn’t understand the birdsong, but he could get a rough idea based on his expressions.

he asked the first mate after careful consideration: “Can I ask your captain, what else is mentioned in the legend? Is there anything more detailed?”

He knows very well that the clues in the NPC’s hands are definitely not the most direct. They like to use the guise of legends, notes, maps, last words and so on.

It doesn’t matter if there are some errors, as long as there is enough information.

Di Li held on to a little hope.

The first mate asked a few more questions, then turned around and explained in Chinese: “I’ve asked, but there’s nothing more. Those legends were from a long time ago, and the content is vague. Just a few repeated sentences, and the captain told you everything.”

Di Li gasped and scratched his head in worry.

The first mate said: “I’m really sorry for making you so happy.”

Not only the candidates, but also the crew members.

They thought they could leave this desert island, but they didn’t expect to be beaten back to their original shape with a stick at the critical moment.

There was a layer of low pressure in the cabin, and a gloomy cloud hung over the cabin.

Di Li counted on his fingers with disbelief: “Three of the returning merchant ships have been repaired.”

“We have counted the most precious goods and confirmed again and again that there is nothing missing.”

“The food can be bundled directly onto the ship, and it can regenerate itself. The three ships will be able to eat as long as they sail.”

“As for the heating fuel, we have plenty of it. If you save a little, it will last a long time.”

“…What else is missing? Nothing is missing.”

Wu Li’s white coat was really thin, and she was leaning against Shu Xue to keep warm.

She sat on the steps and rubbed her arms for a while, then took out a voice recorder from her pocket.

“You still carry this with you?” Shu Xue was a little surprised.

“There are many meetings and work needs it.” Wu Li fiddled with the recorder and played a recording.

[In 1957, three Dutch merchant ships were trapped in the ice-covered sea while passing through Russia. They were temporarily docked on an unnamed desert island to wait for the long winter to pass.This is the 8th month that we have lived here, and there are still 15 days until the end of winter when the sea ice melts. Candidates from each group are asked to help all members of the merchant fleet return home smoothly.】

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

This is the original question played by the system on the day we first entered the cave.

He actually sounds a little strange to us now.

Human memory is very magical, and we always subconsciously focus on a key point.The key point they focused on was “sending the merchant fleet back”.

The he foreshadowing and modifiers are treated as side details and automatically ignored.

Listening to it again now, Brother Li was suffering from occupational diseases and immediately said: “Let me pick out a word, all members of the merchant navy…”

he puts an emphasis on the word “all.”

Di Li moved his neck away from the rope: “Yes… yes! All of them! Strictly speaking, the crew here cannot be called all, and we have to add 8 people who died!”

When they were excited, the pretty boys outside seemed to be excited too.

The wind made the cabin rattle and shake.

Everyone shrank their necks and lowered their voices.

“What do you say?”

“Stay here for a while, wait until the angels disperse, and then go out. Take the crew members away with you.”

In the past, they were afraid of the late night on the desert island, because every night, someone would be given an octopus for dinner.

Now that the octopus has become its own meal, the threat is gone and there is no harm in staying one more night.

When they were happy, You Huo did not participate.

He borrowed the pocket watch from the captain and was looking at the portrait inside.

This pocket watch was actually brought back by he.

He found it in the cabin where the octopus was eating. Seeing that the pattern was similar to those commonly used by the crew, he gave it to the first mate.Unexpectedly, it turned around and fell into the hands of the captain.

But what he cares about is not these, but the person in the portrait.

It was a half profile portrait of a long-haired man, with deep eyebrows and a high nose, and the corners of his mouth were slightly pulled down, making him look a bit serious.

What’s more special is that this man has a small mole above his lips and in his philtrum, and there is also a mole in his left eyebrow.

No matter how lifelike the portrait is, there will still be some discrepancies with the real appearance, but these two moles will not.

Youhuo thought of someone the moment he saw he.

No, to be precise, it’s a face——

The first face he saw under the ice when he and Qin Zhu were touring the island.

The pale face looked up at him for a long time, and he clearly remembered that the other person had the exact same mole above his lips and in his eyebrows.He looks very similar to this portrait, so he is probably the same person.

Youhuo asked the captain: “Who is this?”

The captain’s usual cheerful expression disappeared. He lowered his eyes and took the pocket watch, stroking the edge of the portrait with his thumb.

After a moment, he raised his eyes, returned to his usual relaxed expression and said: “M’n vader.”

Youhuo: “…”

he turned around and called the first mate over.

The first mate translated and said: “This is the captain’s father and the last captain in the merchant navy.”

his words attracted the attention of the candidates.

After he finished speaking, everyone realized that the merchant navy had had many captains over the past century, and Barentsz’s father was one of them.

He joined the fleet at the age of 18. Because of his excellent ability and rigorous work, he became the captain of the merchant fleet at the age of 23. He has been in the wind and waves for many years and successfully delivered countless goods.

When he was 29 years old, he and his fleet encountered a storm and died at sea.

At that time, the current Captain Barentsz had just turned 4 years old.

Barentsz has the blood of a sailor in his bones and is destined to join this fleet.

The year he became the captain, he happened to be 23 years old, just like his father.

Over the years, he has occasionally fantasized that one day, he may be able to find traces of his father in the sea.

But he has never been found, until today, until just now…

When he boarded the ship, he saw the iron box and pocket watch piled among the debris, which were exactly the same as those in his childhood memories.

After thirty years, I actually got my wish.

***

Although they know that they are only part of the question, the candidates are still a little emotional.

They digested it sadly for a moment, and suddenly realized a problem.

“So those little -” Di Li gave himself a pause and changed his words: “Those outside… are all the crew members who died here? Are they all from this merchant fleet?”

“It should be…”

“Those bones in the broken cabin??”

Everyone looked at each other.

“There should be both crew members and candidates.”

Over the years, batches of crew members strayed into this deserted island.

The three octopuses would catch the candidates when they had them, and they would catch the crew members if there were no candidates. They would never treat themselves badly. Day after day, they piled up a mountain of bones in the dilapidated cabin.

No wonder the white-faced people were so angry when they saw the octopus…

Life is given to them.

If they are still alive, they will be someone’s parents, someone’s children, someone’s lovers, someone’s home…

***

You Huo glanced around.

There was one less person in the cabin, which he was not used to.

Taking advantage of the confusion among everyone, he opened the trap door.

The wind formed by the entanglement of human faces contains moist water vapor, like a large misty cloud, shrouding the bow of the merchant ship with a roaring and flamboyant attitude.

In front of them stood the person you were looking for.

The trapdoor creaked.

Qin Jiu turned around and looked over.

“You didn’t enter the cabin?” Youhuo rolled onto the deck.

Qin Jiu was stunned for a moment and then narrowed his eyes: “You came out specifically to find me?”

“No.” Youhuo walked to the bow of the ship and said, “I suddenly thought of something, let’s confirm it.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Check their aggressiveness.” Youhuo pointed at the white faces.

Since the pretty guys are all former crew members and candidates, maybe… they don’t have any ill intentions towards them.

According to legend, they will appear when the ice melts, perhaps just to remind those setting sail not to forget them and not to leave them here…

Youhuo planned to stop by to confirm, but Qin Ju took the lead.

However, Mr. 001 did not hear the “boy’s story”.

He said: “I was just curious to see how much they could hurt me if I had a hard fight, so I stayed in court for a while.”

Youhuo was speechless, and felt that he was not surprised.

Qin Zhu raised his left hand, and there was a blood mark on his palm. It was long but not deep.

“I was fierce at first, but now I’m honest.”

“Why?”

“I can almost make a rough guess, so I tell them when to stop and when to take them away.”

So… the pretty boys stopped in mid-air and became a large piece of quietly floating cloud.

***

Not long after, the candidates and the crew also noticed this, and they all poked their heads out from under the trap door, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.

Once you know the problem, it’s not difficult to fix it.

They ran around on the desert island, and under the leadership of the first mate, they found the eight crew members buried under the ice. They spent another night using torches to melt part of the ice and peel off the old ship full of bones.

Year after year, the bones have been mixed together, making it impossible to tell who is who.

But at least they are all here and not a single one is missing.

The crew threw down a long rope, and everyone worked hard to hold the old ship tightly behind the merchant ship.

The sky turned white, everything was ready.

The experienced crew looked into the distance for a moment and said, “It’s a rare sunny day. We can set off at any time.”

Everyone was in high spirits and climbed onto the deck one after another.

But after being happy for a while, they became depressed again…

“The system has said it personally, there will be no new melting period in the short term. This short-term concept is too general, who knows how long it will take…” Di Li became more and more courageous, and after complaining, he began to move his lips to curse the system.

After just a few curses, Qin Jiu said, “It’s not impossible to leave now.”

Di Li’s eyes flashed: “Huh???”

Youhuo glanced at he and asked: “I don’t care, are you sure you can continue to play like this? There will be no place to pretend to be so low.”

Qin Jiu laughed and didn’t care.

Di Li was confused when he saw them playing riddles.

After a while, You Huo and Qin Zhu untied the rope that bound the octopus’s tentacles, leaving only the part that bound the face.

Once the tentacles were freed, they immediately started dancing wildly and almost hit the sails several times, which made everyone terrified.

But the two bosses were very satisfied.

Then they borrowed a quill from the captain…

Di Li came over carefully and saw Youhuo randomly finding a clean piece of wood and writing four numbers on it:

922 154 021 078

***

On the small white boat of the proctoring office, four proctors suddenly received a request for help from candidates.

078 felt suffocated as soon as he saw the candidate’s name.

021 Quite the opposite, but she doesn’t show it.

922’s expression was very strange.

Only 154 said: “He actually asked for help?”

078 suddenly remembered: “Oh, yes, didn’t you receive a system message at night? They missed the thawing period, maybe they are worried now?”

Youhuo is worried!

This sentence made the invigilator feel happy physically and mentally.

078 Without saying a word, he set sail and set camp, heading straight for the deserted island.

20 minutes later, the small white boat sailed to the edge of the desert island.

Still dozens of meters away from the island, four invigilators boarded the deck.

They straightened their coats and planned to rectify their prestige.As a result, when I looked out, I saw three merchant ships not far away, wielding countless tentacles and shouting towards them with their teeth and claws.

“…”

What the hell is this?!

The invigilator turned around and got into the cabin without looking back.

078 rushed towards the rudder of the ship and swung it with his hand, trying to make a sharp turn.

But no matter how fast the reaction is, there is still a process.

The little white boat that invigilated the exam rushed forward for dozens of meters, then turned around while grazing the shore. Wherever it went, the frozen seawater melted automatically.

On the merchant ship, the captain held the iron box and gave an order, and the helmsman shouted and turned the helm.

A wall of wind composed of pretty boys rushed over in time, and the sails suddenly swelled.

The wind howled and the water surged.

Three merchant ships and octopuses with claws and claws chased the invigilator ship and pecked it to death.

Wherever the invigilator ship passed, they passed unimpeded.

***

First mate Youhuo and Qin Jiu went on the deck and called the captain.

“You’re here? Give me your address. I don’t know what you think, but I regard you as friends. If I have a chance in the future, I will write to you.”

said the captain.

At that moment, he didn’t look like an NPC at all, just like a living person.

A real person living in a certain city in a certain country.

Youhuo took the pen, raised his hand to write an N, and was stunned again.

He has lived in many places, but none of them starts with N.But somehow I wrote it subconsciously.

“What?” the first mate asked, “It’s okay if you don’t want to.”

Youhuo shook his head, crossed out the N word, and wrote the address of Yu Wen’s house: “Send this.”

The first mate handed the pen to Qin Jiu again.

Qin Zhu didn’t answer.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Youhuo’s handwriting and said, “I can’t receive it.”

Even Youhuo was stunned for a moment.

Qin Jiu laughed again, pointed at You Huo and said to the first mate: “When I can collect it one day, I will ask him for your address.”

The captain and first mate nodded in understanding.

…

Behind them, the wet old ship followed.

It had been stranded for many years and was in dilapidated condition.Now loaded with skeletons, it can actually ride the wind and waves again.

The long-lost sun burst out to guide this forcibly opened sea route.

The white mist surges, and the angel returns home.

The author has something to say: This volume is finished~ huh?
