To Be a Heartthrob in a Horror Movie [English Translation]

Chapter 131: Diary

There is a big difference between a sailing diary and a normal diary.

A proper sailing diary would not only record information about the ship, it would also include the ships cargo, information about the crew and the everyday events.

The one recording the diary could be the captain or it could be someone else.

In fact, Su Min wasn’t certain whether this was a sailing diary but even if it only recorded the owners own experiences, it would be useful to them.

A movie wouldn’t include something that is useless.

Xia He Yin watched on nervously, “Hurry and open it.”

She couldn’t stand watching him open it at such a slow speed. She felt as if she was watching a show where they would delay the announcement of the winner for as long as they could. It was too frustrating.

Su Min said: “I’m just afraid of opening it too fast and tearing it.”

After all that time, the pages may have become stuck together. If he forcefully opened it, the information inside could be completely destroyed.

The first page that appeared was a faded photograph.

The edges of the photo had become blurred and the centre of had turned severely yellow, but you could still make out the appearance of the owner of the notebook. He appeared to be a young man aged about twenty-three or twenty-four.

Qin Mu Yin leaned over, “He’s quite young.”

Below the photo was his name and some other information. They were all general information. His job and other information weren’t revealed so this was probably a personal diary.

What Su Min couldn’t understand was that since the captain was still alive, why did he keep the diary with that skeleton? Or was it because he didn’t know of the diary’s existence?

When he thought this, he felt it sounded reasonable.

He had only found that diary because the clothes were tattered. If the clothes were still intact when the captain discovered them, he probably wouldn’t have been able to find this diary.

But this wasn’t the main point.

Su Min turned to the next page.

The book was small so there were only a few lines written on each page. The first entry was dated twenty-five years ago. It documented the first day at sea.

“Today is my first time going out to sea. They only took me on after I begged them for a very long time. I wonder if it would be like the movies? Seeing the ship leave the shore, my mood was complicated, but I also couldn’t help but feel excited.”

“The weather on the second day was fine. The captain said that it would be like this for the rest of this month, so I felt reassured. I plan to go fishing this afternoon.”

“Day 5. I can’t see anything except for the sea………”

Su Min continued to go through the entries. At first, the entries were diligently recorded every day. It later reduced into every two days, then every three days and so on.

Qin Mu Yin stared at it for a long time until his eyes almost went blind.

Many of the writings had faded with time. Just deciphering the words gave him a headache. They could only guess the content based on the context.

Many were trivial and useless.

“Why is this all about the sea? Are there anything about the ship?” Qin Mu Yin couldn’t help but speak up: “You can tell that this young man is very excited.”
