Chapter 318: Ferry and Black Ship

"How credible do you think Ye Zhen's words are?"

After Ye Zhen left, Ah Hong asked, since she was the only one here who was not the captain, what consequences would Ye Zhen's appearance cause and whether it would affect the next actions of their group would of course be decided by the captains.

"Ye Zhen is the administrator of the Supernatural Forum. They have their own intelligence network. The out-of-control ghost lake caused such a big commotion that the entire Zhongzhou City was flooded. Anyone with a little bit of insight could find a lot of information. However, the headquarters took the lead in making a choice and took a tough attitude to deal with this incident."

Yang Jian said in a deep voice.

The dark lake water exuded a chilling chill, but beneath the surface was illuminated by Li Jun's will-o'-the-wisp fire. Countless corpses and evil spirits were entangled and bound by thick black hair and did not surface.

"According to the information provided by Cao Yang, there should be a black coffin at the bottom of the lake, and the evil spirit that is the source of the Ghost Lake is imprisoned in it."

"Cao Yang opened the coffin and tried to deal with it, but the confrontation failed and the ghost disappeared. Then the Ghost Lake got out of control and Zhongzhou City was flooded."

Shen Lin put away the axe in his hand without changing his expression, and took over Yang Jian's words, saying:
"The lake is the ghost, and the ghost is the lake. Perhaps the source ghost and the lake water have long been indistinguishable from each other, so Cao Yang did not find the so-called source ghost after opening the coffin."

"It's a reasonable guess, but if that's the case, it would be too difficult to really deal with the ghost lake. The lake water is another kind of ghost den, and judging from Li Jun's test just now, the lake water is definitely stronger than the ghost fire."

Liu San was no longer silent. He didn't know much about Ghost Lake. His main purpose of coming here last time was just the City of the Dead, not to mention that he had caused trouble and flooded the City of the Dead.

"If you have any ideas, just speak up. You know I'm not the kind of person who likes to use my brain."

Li Jun said in a hoarse voice, while turning his gaze to Yang Jian.

"Young man, if you want to go to Ghost Lake, you have to take the ferry."

At this moment, a man's voice suddenly came, and then they saw a dark wooden boat carrying a man and a woman approaching them.

The man looked to be in his fifties, wearing an old-fashioned cloth hat and with wrinkles all over his face. In his hand he was holding a dim old-fashioned oil lamp.

The woman next to him was much younger than him, probably only in her twenties. However, her eyes were very strange, one was pitch black and the other was pale, and there was an indescribable weird and cold aura hovering around her.

"Captain Silver?"

Yang Jian's expression changed slightly. Before coming here, he heard that Captain Yin Zi, who had been missing for a long time, was not only back online, but was also ready to take over Ohara City and some surrounding areas.

"It's me, Yin Zi."

Seeing Yang Jian reveal her identity, He Yin'er did not hide it. In fact, the headquarters had asked for her opinion when finalizing the candidate for the Ghost Lake incident, but He Yin'er refused. She did not think that she, the newly-appointed necromancer, could solve the Ghost Lake issue that He Liansheng had been guarding for his entire life and had not been able to resolve.

However, she made a promise that no matter who the headquarters sent to deal with the Ghost Lake incident, she would provide all the help she could.

So now, here she is, with Boss Liu.

"If you want to go to the real Ghost Lake, you need to depart from a ferry in the original Taiping Ancient Town and take a black boat. After paying the fare, the boat will take you to the real Ghost Lake."

He Yiner told the information she had, which was not in the files provided by Cao Yang, because he did not appear in Ghost Lake through normal means, but floated directly from the bottom of the lake.

"The ferry, the black boat, why does it sound like the Forgotten River in folklore? Could it be that the person who paddles the boat at the ferry is called a ferryman?"

Shen Lin opened his eyes. He had kept them closed just now, as if he was in a trance or his soul had left his body, but no one else noticed.

"Originally, there was one, but something unexpected happened and now it's gone. Previously, there was a young man named Cao Yang, who was the captain of the headquarters like you. He was also here to deal with the Ghost Lake incident, but the ferryman had a bad temper and the two had a conflict. When we arrived, the ferryman had already been killed by Cao Yang."

Boss Liu said somewhat awkwardly. In fact, he didn't have much contact with the ferryman. It's just that they were all residents of Taiping Ancient Town and they were quite friendly with each other. "Who are you?"

Yang Jian asked.

"He is one of my elders, and one of the few ghost riders of the previous generation in Taiping Ancient Town. Most of the others have passed away."

He Yiner explained.

"If Zhongzhou City hadn't been flooded, it would have been easy for you to find the ferry with your ability. Unfortunately, it's now destroyed by Ghost Lake. I leave this boat to you. Yin Zi and I can't help with the Ghost Lake incident. I hope you can succeed."

Boss Liu stretched out a hand and bent four fingers. Then the boat under his feet instantly appeared on the water next to several captains, and he left with He Yiner.

"Then let's go to the ferry. I can roughly determine the location."

Shen Lin said, but the people around him looked at him with strange expressions. Everyone was here just now, how come you have already found out the information?
"Don't get me wrong. I just used some special methods to barely locate it. And although Zhongzhou City was flooded, the general terrain and orientation have not changed. It is not difficult to determine the location of a ferry."

After Shen Lin's explanation, the few people finally dispelled their doubts.

"Then let's go to the ferry. But don't forget what He Yin'er said. You have to pay for the boat. Is it possible that a boat that can travel on Ghost Lake will charge ordinary money?"

Yang Jian said seriously.

"It should be the ghost money. I happen to have two of them here."

Liu San took out two colorful pieces of paper money from his pocket. They looked like the kind of paper money burned for paper figurines during sacrifices. The denomination of three yuan on them was so fake that it couldn't be more fake.

"Then I'll look for the ferry."

A scarlet light spread out instantly, and the entire area above the lake in Zhongzhou City was directly covered by Yang Jian's ghost den. While he was recalling the maps of Zhongzhou City and Taiping Ancient Town in his mind, he used the ghost den to search and screen the approximate location of the ferry.

"This is it."

The next moment, the ghost den swept everyone present and appeared directly on a small platform.

The platform was very small and could barely accommodate five people standing. In fact, Yang Jian did not accurately locate the ferry, but the dark and strange boat in front of him was obviously abnormal, so he brought a few people and moved directly here.

"Is this the ship?"

Li Jun was still holding the wooden boat that Boss Liu had just left behind. He didn't expect that Yang Jian had finished it so quickly.

"It is twelve o'clock now. The boat will appear on time at this time and carry the people on board to hell."

Shen Lin, who had his eyes closed, opened them again and muttered something.

"Your methods are really special, but you'd better not do it again, otherwise I will think you are deliberately hiding some important information."

"This is the thing I hate most since I joined the headquarters."

Yang Jian's face was cold, and his voice and tone also became cold.
