"Let's go back to Mirror Moon Island first, what do you say, Luo Yu?" Having hooked up an Alliance Investigator, Shui Wuyue had no choice but to temporarily suspend his quest to purchase Rock Goat.
Originally, he intended to just dump this investigator on some random island...
But now that the incident is pointing directly at Mirror Moon Island, we can't just brush it off.
After all, whenever the Tidal Corpse Transformation, more than one island wants to request reinforcements from the Alliance. Which island doesn't want stronger security forces during Zombie Tide?
However, the number of fleets that the Alliance can support each member island is limited, so applying for them is extremely complicated...
Each island needs to provide a large amount of information to prove the necessity of requesting reinforcements!
Therefore, it is very important to bring this "Handsome" back to Mirror Moon Island and have him serve as a witness.
It would be even better if he exaggerated the threat posed by the Wailing Pirate Crew, so that the reinforcements might be even stronger.
As for how to get him to cooperate... obviously, we have to take him to Mirror Moon Island and treat him well!
Top-tier medical resources should be allocated, and even a new pet should ideally be provided, since it was indeed a pet that sacrificed itself to help Mirror Moon Island investigate potential threats.
"No objection. I'll call the bureau chief first and ask him to make preparations." Luo Yu took out the Communication Conch.
"I'll drive back at full speed; it shouldn't take more than a few hours, but it's good for him to be mentally prepared first," said Shui Wuyue.
"The Communication Conch..." The investigator, panting, asked, "How much did you buy it for...?"
He made a decision: his new pet would be a living Communication Conch, which would act as a liaison in the future, instead of doing dangerous work like an undercover agent!
"It was caught by his pet penguin; he didn't pay for it," Yu Wan said.
The investigator looked bewildered. "You... you caught them?"
"No? This was caught too?" Shui Wuyue was about to help Ghost Shark steer the boat when he was taken aback by these words.
He only knew from the bureau chief that Luo Yu had Communication Conch, but he hadn't heard that it was caught by fishing.
He couldn't bear to buy a new one because he needed to keep two pet animals, and had been using the ones provided by the fleet.
And you're telling me this thing can be picked up?
"Ouch... my head hurts so much." Upon hearing this, the Handsome investigator felt both heartache and headache, seemingly unable to accept that others were so lucky.
Shui Wuyue looked at him and said, "It's normal for you to have a headache, because you were also caught by that penguin. Luckily, your hair got tangled in the fishhook."
After studying it for a long time, he finally figured out how the penguin had managed to fish a person out of the water.
It's quite powerful...
The Handsome touched his bloodied scalp and looked blankly at his savior, the goose that had saved his life.
At this moment, July realized that she had actually done a good deed and saved someone, and she couldn't help but proudly puff out her chest.
"Ugh!!!" It immediately wanted to continue fishing.
But the next moment, in order not to waste time, Shui Wuyue and the Raging Sea Ghost Shark started the ghost ship together, putting it into dual-core drive, and the ship's speed soared, making fishing impossible again.
During this time, Chen Bo did not leave the room and vomited repeatedly inside, clearly unable to withstand the acceleration of the ghost ship.
Only after he had taken the Handsome to the hospital on Mirror Moon Island did Chen Bo finally leave the room, leaning against the wall.
"Why are you suddenly driving so fast? Are we at Thousand Rock Island...?" he asked.
"No, we've arrived at Mirror Moon Island, and we're just about to set off," Luo Yu said.
Chen Bo:???
"No, I remember we already set off!" He looked completely bewildered.
"It all started when I saw an old man fishing in July... Why don't you go back to the island to rest?" As they were about to set sail again, Luo Yu noticed Chen Bo's pale face and suggested.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll go back to sleep and I'll get used to it soon..." Chen Bo went back to his room, his face pale.
"Since there are no problems, let's set off again." Shui Wuyue, looking at Chen Bo. It's a shame this kid has such a manly name; all looks and no substance.
This time, the boat slowed down a bit as it set sail again, and July stood on the bulwark to continue fishing!
On the other hand, despite the minor incident, Shui Wuyue still intends to continue teaching Luo Yu how to pilot the ghost ship!
"The soul Possession the ship's hull is actually like putting a coat on the soul."
"It's like swimming; the power comes from your physical strength, and the clothes just move along with it, propelled by your power."
The same applies to ghost ships.
"Once your soul Possession to the ship, you will enter a state of 'oneness with the ship.' If the ship is at sea, your soul will feel as if it is floating on the sea."
"At this moment, if you swim as a soul, the boat will be propelled by the power of your soul. Is that explanation straightforward enough?"
With that, he threw the raft into the sea, and his soul left his body and entered the raft.
Luo Yu saw the raft slowly begin to move in the sea.
"I understand it roughly, is it that simple?" Luo Yu asked.
"This is just the foundation..." Shui Wuyue's ghost floated back and said, "Look at me, what am I now?"
Luo Yu was taken aback. "Uh... a ghost?"
"To be precise, it's a humanoid ghost! Right?" As she spoke, Shui Wuyue's ghost floated in the air, making various swimming motions.
He asked, "Have you found any problems?"
"When I Possession just now, I was actually doing this swimming motion, using this swimming style to move the raft."
"But in reality, human swimming ability is quite average."
"Using human spirits to swim and propel the ship is far too inefficient!"
Luo Yu suddenly realized, "You mean, there are even more efficient ways to propel the ship?"
"That's right! The soul has a very high degree of malleability."
"Therefore, why not try to Soul Mimicry to propel the ship!"
Shui Wuyue demonstrated it to Luo Yu again. His soul re-emerged from his body, a white phantom floating out. At first, it still resembled a human, but as Luo Yu watched, he noticed his soul suddenly twist and turn into a shark!!!
Although it takes the form of a shark, it still retains a human face; it's as if a human soul has been kneaded and shaped into a shark.
"See? The soul can freely change its form."
As he spoke, he climbed back into the raft.
The raft, like a shark, became incredibly fierce and fast, continuously cruising in this area of water.
Luo Yu rubbed his eyes, as if he really saw a shark speeding through the sea, much better than his previous slow and sluggish state.
"If you still think of yourself as a human being, swimming will be extremely difficult."
"But if you think of yourself as a fish, things will be much easier."
"This is the basic method for Soul Talent Beast Taming to pilot ghost ships: Soul Mimicry. Next, I will teach you how to Soul Mimicry and familiarize yourself with its swimming style!" Shui Wuyue said after returning.
Luo Yu nodded. "So that's how it is!"
Human form has its limits, so I'm no longer human!
"Let's take it one step at a time. First, try piloting the ghost raft as a human soul. It's usually difficult for beginners to transform their souls on their own. I'll mold it for you later; I'm very skilled, so Shui Wuyue.
"Okay." Luo Yu obediently left her body and entered the raft in the form of a humanoid ghost.
The next moment, he felt that state of "man and raft as one".
The body does indeed feel like it's submerged in water... To move, you need to use swimming techniques ingrained in your biological instincts, and the only swimming styles humans use are breaststroke and freestyle.
Indeed, it's too difficult for a human to swim fast... no wonder they mimic sea creatures.
"Can you feel it?" Shui Wuyue shouted from the boat, "You can swim a bit first and experience it for yourself."
"After you start to feel the strain, come back. I'll start teaching you how to mimic sea monsters. I'm proficient in nine kinds of sea monsters..."
Shui Wuyue finish speaking, his eyes widened suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost.
He saw the ghostly raft, Possession by Luo Yu, suddenly shudder and then slowly take flight...
Bang!
A moment later, the raft fell back into the sea, and Luo Yu crawled back into her body.
"... Shui Wuyue- senpai, what's going on?"
"I was just thinking that piloting a ghost ship is such a hassle. If only it were like 'flying on a sword,' where you could control the ship with a single thought, but then..."
The raft actually took to the air.
What's the principle behind this?
"You're asking me what happened?" Shui Wuyue wanted to ask Luo Yu what happened too!
Sky Ghost Ship, top-tier ship handling skills—how did a complete beginner manage to pull that off?!
Did you not completely forget your past life?
