Without waiting for him to finish, Zhengyang dashed ahead like a gust of wind.
I hurried after him and finally caught up at the entrance of the cabin. It was then that I noticed an old woman sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of the cabin door. Her clothes were tattered but spotless. The old woman's face looked unapproachable, and she held a smoking pipe in her hand, her teeth stained black from years of use, leaving me curious about her background.
To my surprise, Zhengyang treated this old woman with great respect. He approached her gently and helped her up from the deck, saying softly, "The sea breeze is strong; let's go inside the cabin to avoid it."
The old woman didn't lift her head; she merely snorted coldly, squinting as if she were addicted to smoking. She glanced at me, the bowl, and Xiao Xiao, muttering, "It's a blessing, not a curse; it's a blessing, not a curse!"
With that, she shrugged off Zhengyang's hand and turned to leave. Although she swayed slightly, her steps were remarkably steady.
I was taken aback by this scene and pulled Bald Qiang aside to whisper, "Hey, who is she? Why does she seem so formidable?"
"I don't know her name; everyone just calls her Ghost Granny!"
Bald Qiang glanced at the old woman's retreating figure before cautiously adding, "Buddy, you better not provoke this ancestor... She's got some seriously cunning methods. If you offend her, you'll be in for endless trouble!"
Such an old woman had such high skills?
Sometimes, people really can't be judged by their appearance!
I stared at the old woman with the smoking pipe, unable to look away for a long time.
"Is this Ghost Granny going to join us on this mission to take down that Old Witch?"
Bald Qiang leaned closer and dropped a bombshell: "This Ghost Granny is actually a figure of Ancestor Master level in our organization! She was once sidelined by the organization, but now she's eager to take the lead against such a fierce opponent. There are many stories behind this; you'll find out later!"
"Wow, such an impressive character! It seems this old lady is like one of the Central Plains Five Absolutes!"
Bald Qiang grinned widely and patted my shoulder with a chuckle: "This time the organization has put in a lot of effort. The Four Masters of Tomb Raiding are all gathered here, so it's much more secure than last time. You can rest easy!"
"Could it be that The Tomb Raider is this old lady?"
"Indeed!"
I nearly stumbled at that moment; how did Bald Qiang learn to speak in such a refined manner? It was enough to make one want to spit blood!
I sighed, left speechless.
At that moment, Zhengyang had already opened the cabin door and stepped inside. I followed closely behind.
As soon as I entered the cabin, I realized that this time, a significant effort had been made in the organization. The cabin was filled with various instruments and equipment, arranged like a command center. There were at least a dozen people guarding these devices, likely Baozhu and Tu Gen's team, since this operation must have been a significant investment. Seeing this setup only deepened the shadows in my heart!
" Qiang, why don't you explain the plan?"
Bald Qiang suddenly became excited, rolling up his sleeves and spitting on both sides, making his bald head look cool. He was now giving orders with an air of authority and then replied, "Alright. I'll keep it simple from here."
Afterward, Bald Qiang gestured with his hands, nodded, and beckoned us to sit down. It seemed he was preparing his words; he held back for nearly ten minutes, his face reddening before finally beginning to outline the general situation of this mission.
The story should start from two months ago in Tierra del Fuego.
Tierra del Fuego is the southernmost island of the South American continent. It lies between latitudes 5° to 56° south, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. To the south, it faces Antarctica across the Drake Passage, and to the north, it is adjacent to the South American mainland across the Magellan Strait. It is the southernmost territory of both Chile and Argentina, with Cape Horn being its most southern point.
To the southwest of Ushuaia lies a series of islands, with a waterway called Beagle Channel running through them, serving as a boundary between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Ushuaia controls this crucial strait; it provides access eastward to the Malvinas Islands, westward to Oceania, and southward to Antarctica. Its strategic position makes Tierra del Fuego the southernmost land on Earth outside Antarctica.
Two months ago in Tierra del Fuego, a shocking attack occurred—more accurately described as a massacre—when two individuals dressed in black robes assaulted all tourists on a beach in Tierra del Fuego, resulting in numerous deaths. According to footage left behind, one of these black-robed figures had distinctly Eastern facial features. They killed hundreds of tourists without leaving anyone alive on that beach.
Unfortunately, as of now, the true culprits have still not been apprehended.
Not far from Tierra del Fuego lies a group of Coral Islands. Following this tragedy, a terrifying tsunami struck; several nearby Coral Islands were submerged by rising waters. Fishing boats and planes waiting for the tsunami to recede mysteriously disappeared.
Such inexplicable disappearances of islands have occurred throughout history. In ancient times, people could only explain it by saying that giant turtles carrying islands had died. Others spoke of legends involving falling stones or suggested that these islands and planes entered time-space tunnels or perhaps parallel dimensions—a phenomenon that has occurred multiple times in Bermuda.
Those familiar with mysterious events on Earth should be aware of the unsolved mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle. This area is known as the Devil's Triangle and a forbidden zone for sailors due to frequent incidents of vessels or aircraft disappearing there. Since the Age of Discovery began when Saint Columbus witnessed its terrifying weather patterns, between 1880 and 1976 alone, there were 158 recorded disappearances in Bermuda Triangle waters, claiming over three thousand lives; hence it is referred to as "the Devil's Triangle."
As for why disappearances frequently occur in that area, scientists have provided several explanations:
Firstly, supernatural factors, such as extraterrestrial interference.
Secondly, changes in the magnetic field.
Thirdly, there is a parallel dimensional space present.
In summary, since the first tsunami erupted, the waters around Tierra del Fuego and the Drake Passage have been experiencing a series of tsunamis almost continuously. Approximately every week, a tsunami occurs, and after each one, strong lights appear on the ocean floor.
Consequently, various speculations have emerged. However, the most mainstream and widely accepted theory suggests that there may be ruins on the ocean floor of the Drake Passage—ruins that our current civilization finds difficult to comprehend!
In short, the Drake Passage has been quite turbulent lately.
"We suspect it’s the work of their organization’s capable agents!"
I asked in confusion, "At the very least, you need to give me a reason for such indiscriminate killing. Would an organization really go so far? The power of humans can’t trigger a tsunami. Bald Qiang, you can’t make me believe that! It’s utterly absurd!"
"What if we explain it this way?" Bald Qiang said calmly, as if he had already anticipated this discussion!
