Chapter 171 169. Ghost Ship
Jon let all the students hide in the cabin immediately!
The moment he saw the pirate ship, an extremely bad premonition rose in his heart.
That is obviously not a modern ship.
With faint fluorescent light, it looks like a mirage. On the tattered long sail, there is a skull emblem with a captain's hat printed on it. It can be clearly seen that the hull is also made of wood, but the transparent There is a sense of unreality everywhere.
It's like this ship is not from the world, but a ghost ship that hovers in the realm of the living!
At the same time that the ghost pirate ship appeared in Jon's eyes, the entire sea area where they were located did not know when, a white mist rose silently.
The sound of the waves seemed to be absorbed by the white mist, and the entire sky was covered, as if the Hogwarts was forcibly pulled into another quiet and dead world.
The ghost ship was obviously coming towards them. Its course hadn't changed a bit since it appeared, and it was sailing straight towards Jon and the others.
Only Jon George and Neville were on the deck, and they all held a single-eye telescope in their hands, looking at the ghost ship that seemed to be some distance away from them, but was getting closer and closer at an unconventional speed.
"That boat looks just like mine!"
A little girl's voice sounded above their heads.
Jon and the others raised their heads and saw Gabriel returning from the cabin.
What she said was indeed correct. The state of the ship looked exactly the same as hers, with a faint white fluorescent light emitting from its body, and it looked transparent and illusory.
This further confirms the existing speculation in Jon's mind that this is a ship with ghost characteristics.
Jon turned to look at George and Neville.
"When you were at home, did you hear any legends about ghost ships on the sea near England?"
George shook his head decisively.
"No, Mom and Dad never told us about these things, neither did Bill and Charlie." After a pause, he thought about it and said, "Even if I read fairy tales about wizards at home when I was young , and there are no stories about these legends.”
Neville took a deep breath.
"My dad told me something similar. He told me that the ghosts in the wizarding world are not scattered sand. They have already died once, and the future will almost exist in the world as ghosts forever. Although ghosts are dead People's various senses can't touch the entity, but they still retain the emotions and memories of their lives, so ghosts also have their own social circle."
"The most famous ghost organization in the UK is called the Headless Knights. It is an organization organized by a group of ghosts whose heads have been beheaded. They have very strict conditions for recruiting members. Only ghosts whose heads and bodies are completely separated Qualifications, even playing polo with their own heads a lot. But most of the ghosts think they are cool, so they are the most famous ghost group.”
"This proves that there must be similar ghost organizations, not just the Headless Knights. Thinking about it this way, it is not so strange that there is also a ghost ship appearing on the sea, although we have never heard of it."
Jon put down the binoculars, his face not only did not relax, but became more dignified.
His question made both George and Neville stunned, but they both came to their senses soon.
Neville said hesitantly.
"Maybe there are ghosts who identify with pure-blood thoughts, but ... there should be no ghosts who will cooperate with the Ministry of Magic. After all, they are all dead. They become ghosts only because they are still full of unfinished attachment to this world of living people. Rarely There are rumors of ghosts taking part in disputes among the living."
George also nodded and said.
"Ghosts who have already died once cannot die again, so even the Dark Lord has no way to coerce them with force, and I have never heard of any departments related to ghosts in the Ministry of Magic. "
Both of them make sense.
No one has the ability to drive ghosts to do something, so what faction does the ghost ship that is sailing towards them now belong to?
Just like Neville said, just a sea organization in the British ghost? Saw their magic ship and came here to say hello?
Although Jon had doubts in his heart, he didn't worry too much. While normal ghost wizards can't do any harm to them, they can't do anything to wizards who are dead, except in Hogwarts Castle. The previous special case of Peeves.
While they were talking, the ghost ship was already close at hand.
Jon and the others could even clearly see a cannon facing them on the dilapidated deck of the ship!
The ghost ship was getting closer and closer to them, and the front ends of the two ships were already showing signs of colliding, but neither the Hogwarts nor the other party had the slightest intention to stop.
The next second, the bows of the boats touched each other, but there was no sense of collision.
The ghost ship passed through the Hogwarts without any resistance, overlapping with the old wooden ship!
This overlap did not stop at the beginning of the contact, but continued to expand. Soon, the hull of the ghost ship passed through the bodies of Jon and the three of them!
An unprecedented coldness spread throughout their bodies.
As if being poured from head to toe by a basin of cold water, Jon couldn't help shivering.
The overall hull of Hogwarts is slightly higher than this ghost ship. After the hulls of the two ships completely overlap, the cabins where the students are not covered by any ghost cabins are still exposed.
And just when Jon and the three of them looked at the pirate ship that had completely overlapped with the Hogwarts under their feet, and the two ships merged into one and was moving forward together, a sharp and rude voice suddenly came from below the deck !
"Boys! Howl! You are surrounded by the great Captain Jack!"
As the voice fell, a small ghost floated up from the deck of the Hogwarts!
He wore a pirate hat with a skull tattoo on his head, one foot was intact, the other was supported by wood, and his left hand was not sound, but a piece was put on the broken arm. Tie Hook, there is a hideous scar on the bridge of the nose on the face, and one eye is covered by an eyepatch.
The threatening words to Jon and the others did not come from the mouth of this little ghost, but stood on his shoulder, a parrot that was also illusory and transparent!
There is more tonight
