"Monster?"
A group of idle sailors immediately crowded over, standing beside Conni and gazing at the distant sea surface.
Generally speaking, when people are on a ship, their vision cannot penetrate the sea surface; due to the refraction of light and other reasons, they cannot see what's beneath the sea.
But objects above the sea surface are quite conspicuous, like a piece of black patch without light reflection on a shimmering silver water surface.
People instantly spotted that thing, and some young men loudly speculated about what it might be.
"Maybe it's a whale..."
"Maybe it's a mola..."
The sailors happily speculated, with Conni eagerly joining in, "Could be a submarine..."
The surrounding sailors' laughter disappeared instantly; each person looked at Conni with an expression of "Do you know what you're saying?" The downward curve of their lips and clenched fists made Conni realize he had misspoken.
"Hey, I mean..."
