"They entered the Nibelungen," Lu Mingfei said in a deep voice, "the Nibelungen hidden under the Arctic Ocean, belonging to the King of Sky and Wind."

Xia Mi looked at Lu Mingfei again, and this time she finally noticed that Lu Mingfei used a declarative tone instead of a question or speculation.

"In short, according to the crew member's description, when the shadow of the island appeared, the people on the ship seemed to be possessed by evil spirits and jumped into the sea like crazy. Among them were even experienced sailors and the mysterious man with 'supernatural powers.'" Xia Mi said, "The last group to jump into the sea were the acting captain of the 'Yamal' at the time, and the crew members with the highest status and the most experience on the ship at that time."

"The crew member said that they were not bewitched by the reflection under the sea, but voluntarily followed the man with 'divine power'. The crew member said that he actually wanted to go with the captain and the first mates, but he didn't have the courage to die, so he backed out at the last minute." Xia Mi said, "He still doesn't know whether he should regret his decision that year, because he is still alive, and he has no idea what happened to those people who jumped into the sea that year, and whether they are dead or alive now."

Lu Mingfei lowered his head and thought, if this crew member knew what happened to his companions, he might be glad. Nibelungen, known as the "Island of Death", must be a hellish experience for ordinary people. Lu Mingfei had no way of knowing whether those crew members who lost their lives there regretted their last moments, but they must have died in despair. Faced with the fear of the unknown, they could only welcome the end of their lives in suffering and pain.

"That's pretty much what the crew member told us on the deck," Xia Mi added. "Then he told us about how he and all the crew members on the ship were arrested after the Yamal returned, how they escaped with the bail of a powerful person, and what happened afterwards."

"He said that after that he worked for a politician for more than ten years, helping him deal with some shady people and things in secret. He witnessed too much evil and the darkness of the world over the years, which made him feel sick and disappointed with the world." Xia Mi said, "The crew member said that for him, the most comfortable days were the experience of sailing with his companions on the 'Yamal'. Although the ship was not very clean, at least he could drink with his companions when he was depressed, and he could see the endless sea at any time. There were always beautiful girls on the ship, and they would be replaced by another group soon after he got tired of them."

"He said he liked wasting his life like this, spending his time on things that didn't require him to think about the meaning. He never thought about how great or brilliant his life would be. Wasting time was never a derogatory term for him." Xia Mi said, "But he can't go back to this kind of life. These memories and those disappeared companions have disappeared from his life. He made a lot of money from that politician, but he squandered it all. Now he has no wife, no children, and no family. He doesn't know what he is living for and feels that his life is a void."

Maybe it's not just this crew member. Many people who have been on the 'Yamal' have the same idea. The happier they were in bed, the more empty their lives became afterwards. They may not be very loyal, but for them, the ship called 'Yamal' once occupied a large part of their lives. Suddenly one day this part was taken away, just like a large piece of blank space was cut away from their lives.

"That crew member told me that when he heard that the Yamal was requisitioned again, he felt very complicated, sad but relieved. They were willing to return to the ship again just to recall the past and find the feeling of the past, at least that's what he thought." Xia Mi said, "And some people don't want to come back because they are escaping, not because they think that being a sailor on this ship is boring, but because they cherish that time too much, so they decide to forget it, because no matter how they recall it, they can never go back to the past."

"He sounds like a nice guy." Lu Mingfei nodded and said, "At least he's quite honest. At least he's not the same type of person as that bad guy who tried to hit on you when you first boarded the ship."

"Oh, this crew member is the guy who wanted to chat with me at the beginning." Xia Mi tilted her head and said, "Didn't I tell you?"

"No... Shit!" Lu Mingfei said angrily, changing his words. "No wonder this guy is so attentive, because he thinks that Junior Sister and Old Tang are the same person as the man with 'supernatural power' more than 20 years ago, so he doesn't dare to offend you, otherwise he is afraid that he will die in an ugly way."

"Maybe." Xia Mi shrugged. "Anyway, the first thing he said when he found us was to apologize to me. His attitude was pretty good. After that, he took the initiative to tell us about what happened that year. I was too lazy to argue with him about those little things when we first got on the ship."

"I think there is another possibility." Chu Zihang suddenly spoke up, "Maybe it's because these things have been suppressed in the crew's heart for many years. Apart from his former companions on the same ship, he couldn't find anyone to talk to. Because other people have never experienced such supernatural events, nor have they experienced the pain of losing their companions, so they can't understand them."

"But you are different. Your identities are very special." Chu Zihang said to Xia Mi and Lao Tang, "In the eyes of that crew member, you are a special group of people with abilities similar to that man back then. Moreover, you have requisitioned the Yamal, and your goal is also the legendary Island of Death. Not only did you remind him of the past, he might even think it's possible to use you as a rope to find out the truth of more than 20 years ago."

After Xia Mi was silent for a while, she nodded to Chu Zihang and said, "I think what you said makes more sense."

"It shouldn't matter whether that guy's intentions are pure or not." Lu Mingfei also whispered, "Even if he wants to use Junior Sister and Old Tang to some extent, he can't pose any threat to you."

"That guy is certainly not a threat, but..." Having said this, Xia Mi suddenly paused.

"Aren't you going to tell them what that guy said?" Old Tang suddenly spoke, looking at Xia Mi and asked.

"Anything else?" Lu Mingfei looked at Xia Mi and Lao Tang suspiciously. From what Lao Tang said, it seemed that Xia Mi deliberately concealed something when she was narrating. It should be hidden in the fragment told by the crew member.

"I would say, I'm just thinking about which part to put that matter in." Xia Mi thought about it, then shook her head and said, "Forget it, wait for me to finish, I'll tell you about that matter later."

"Okay, then you talk first." Lu Mingfei nodded, not forgetting to be cautious.

"I asked the crew member how to see those islands hidden underwater, and he shook his head and said he didn't know." Xia Mi said, "He said those islands appear very rarely, only twice in the history he knows. But before those islands appear, some strange and supernatural phenomena may occur."

"I was just about to ask that crew member what would happen when Lao Tang and I felt an unusual breath almost at the same time." Xia Mi said, "The elements in the atmosphere became abnormally disordered, the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees, and the air above our heads seemed to be highly ionized." "Damn, do you know what we saw at the time?" Lao Tang interrupted again. He was a chatterbox type with a strong desire to express himself, but Xia Mi had been talking all the time, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"At that time, Lao Tang and I looked up and saw countless arcs of blue and purple light floating in from the distant horizon, quickly covering the entire sky." Xia Mi said, "It was night, and the sun and moon were not visible in the sky, but the world was as bright as day. The light of those streamers even covered the entire starry sky. They were beautiful, so beautiful that it seemed unreal."

"Hey, can't I say this part?" Old Tang protested, but no one paid any attention.

"Is it the aurora that covers the entire sky?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi in a low voice.

"Yes, actually I am not too surprised by the Aurora because I understand the principle of its formation. It may be a rare natural landscape for humans, but there are some dragons that can cause this phenomenon with their own power." Xia Mi said, "But the crew member with us was terrified. I heard his scream, and when I looked at him, I found that he was staring at the sky with wide eyes and a terrified face. The cyan and purple lights illuminated his pale face, and his expression was as terrified as if he had seen a ghost."

"I noticed something unusual, because as an old sailor with rich sailing experience in the Arctic Circle, he must have seen the aurora, even if the scale of the aurora this time was indeed amazing." Xia Mi said, "What's more suspicious is his reaction. Even ordinary people would be excited and thrilled when they see the aurora, but his expression was so terrified at the time, as if an old enemy had come to his door with a knife. I saw that his body was even shaking with fear."

"'God's Skirt'..." Lu Mingfei whispered in a voice that only he could hear.

"'God's Skirt', I heard these few words coming out of that crew member's mouth." Xia Mi said, "I asked him what the word meant, but he seemed to be terrified. He just stared blankly at the aurora in the sky, muttering 'God's Skirt', 'It's really God's Skirt', 'This thing has come to me again'... After these few words, his body trembled more and more violently."

"You don't know, that guy really seemed to be bewitched at that time, it was so creepy." Old Tang finally found an opportunity to interrupt, "It was only when I slapped that guy that he finally woke up."

"It was indeed Old Tang who woke him up with a slap. After he woke up, he pointed at the auroras in the sky and told us that auroras of this size are called 'God's Skirt' and are extremely rare. Sailors who sail in the Arctic all year round may not have the opportunity to see them many times in their lifetime." Xia Mi said, "He said the most important thing is that 'God's Skirt' is one of the reasons for the appearance of those underwater islands!"

"According to him, those underwater islands have appeared twice. The first time was his personal experience more than 20 years ago, and the other time was even earlier. But according to the word of mouth on the Yamal, every time an underwater island appears, the God's Skirt is a precursor." Xia Mi said, "After saying this, his eyes became even more terrified. He stared blankly at the back of me and Lao Tang, as if there were a group of aliens standing behind us."

"What's behind you?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi. In fact, he had already guessed it.

"Logically, there should be a dark sea behind Lao Tang and me, because we saw just a minute ago that there was only endless sea and dense floating ice in front of us." Xia Mi said, "But the moment Lao Tang and I turned around, I admit that I was a little shocked. A huge iceberg stood in front of us, less than 20 meters away from the bow of the 'Yamal'. I am very sure that there was nothing in front of us before, and this behemoth seemed to appear out of thin air."

"Sure enough." Lu Mingfei whispered, "All the elements are gathered. Uncle Chu is right."

"The crew member was indeed frightened when he saw the iceberg, but he did not lose his mind. I noticed something very strange, it seems that he was not worried about the Yamal hitting the huge iceberg." Xia Mi said, "I suddenly remembered the rumor that more than 20 years ago, the Yamal sailed into an iceberg that was visible but untouchable, and then encountered the underwater 'Island of Death'."

"I did react at that time, but unfortunately I was too ignorant." Having said this, Xia Mi glanced at someone meaningfully.

"Oh my god, how could I react? Who would have thought that the boat was about to hit the mountain?" Old Tang was obviously a little anxious. He defended himself, "So what's wrong with me defending myself? Wasn't it for everyone's safety? None of you stopped me at that time, right?"

"You attacked without even saying hello, who can stop you?" Xia Mi glared at Old Tang, "Don't you really think you're over-defending?"

"What did he do?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

Xia Mi nodded at Lao Tang, indicating that he should confess himself.

"Isn't it just blasting the 'Jun Yan' at the iceberg?" Old Tang's expression was obviously a little unconvinced.

"Is that an ordinary 'Jun Yan'? Someone who doesn't know would think you were firing a Vulcan cannon!" Xia Mi retorted, "And did you really only fire a 'Jun Yan'? What about the 'Zhu Long' that came after that?"

"Holy crap! Is this true?" Lu Mingfei was also shocked. He looked at Old Tang with wide eyes and asked, "Old Tang, you still use 'Zhulong'? So violent?"
