Chapter 14: Existence and Absence
Xie Liang put the pigeon kiss on his shoulder, he took out the suitcase in the cabinet, and by the faint light of the fire, picked up the suitcase and looked at it.
The box is a lockbox, locked, but this is normal, Xie Liang can understand, he will also lock it in this environment.
Although it is difficult to have a lock, it does not mean that Xie Liang will have no way to take this box.
I saw him take out a knife with a scabbard from his pocket, which Xie Liang found on the fishing boat, and then he turned the suitcase sideways, aimed at the connection between the zipper and the suitcase, and it took about a few minutes for Xie Liang to finally open the suitcase with difficulty.
It was still the familiar heavy musty smell, the things in the suitcase were very simple, and the clothes took up most of the space, Xie Liang threw the clothes out, and then turned the suitcase inside and out.
"Huh?!"
Xie Liang's eyes lit up, and he took out a notepad and a photo from the suitcase, which was similar to a family photo, a couple and two children, the children were a boy and a girl.
The girl stood in front of the couple and smiled brightly, comparing the old scissorhands, while the boy looked more introverted, hiding behind his father's back and poking his head out to see when he was photographed.
The photo is yellowed, I don't see too much, Xie Liang estimates that this suitcase is not the little boy in the photo, or the man in the photo, but I can't see who it is.
Putting the photo away, Xie Liang picked up the notebook and opened it to see that it was a diary, which recorded the time when the owner of the luggage was on board the ship to the last time he recorded the diary.
"Tong Hai, probably the name of the owner of the diary. ”
Turning the first page of the diary, the two words Tong Hai appeared in front of Xie Liang's eyes, and the words were written very properly, which made Xie Liang breathe a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it is this kind of character that can be seen clearly, if it is that kind of scribbled and ugly, Xie Liang is afraid that his mind will explode, and he can't understand it, even if it is a diary, it will be useless!
Continuing to read, Xie Liang did not let go of any useful information in the diary.
"Today is March 3rd and the weather is ...... Well, it's not so good, I hate cloudy days, today is my first day on the boat, life on the boat is very different from what I imagined, I have to work as soon as the electric bell rings, and my routine is completely chaotic. But fortunately, the salary is relatively high, which is not too bad, but the place where I live is too crowded, the food is good, and the supply is sufficient. ”
"Today is March 4th...... No, today should be March 5th, so sleepy, a little bit don't want to write a diary, the time is about one or two o'clock in the morning, today the catch is particularly large, put away the net in a few hours to throw into the sea, each time the fish caught, less than one or two tons, more than seven or eight tons. I don't know too much, I listened to Brother Zhang, by the way! Brother Zhang also has a cat, it is a black cat, pure black! Brother Zhang also specially gave it a fish during the meal, and it can be seen that Brother Zhang likes this cat very much. ”
"March 6th: Today is relatively easy, the day is also a sunny day, the captain said that this fishing situation is good, originally planned for a month's task, according to the current daily fishing volume, it will be almost 20 days to fill the storage warehouse, then you can return. ”
"March 7th: It's about three or four o'clock in the morning, I got up in the middle of the night to write a diary, today is a bit special, I was not woken up by the electric bell, but by the cat raised by Brother Zhang, I slept well, but I don't know why Brother Zhang's cat barked, it kept howling, half of the people in the boat were woken up, Brother Zhang also had a big head. ”
"March 8th: Brother Zhang's cat is in estrus, damn it, I'm sleepy now, I don't have energy at work, I didn't sleep well last night, I was tired after moving the goods, and I couldn't have a good night's sleep, many people are obviously not in the state of work today, and the captain doesn't look good. ”
"March 9th: I saw Brother Zhang being pulled over by the captain to give a lecture, and when he came out of the room, Brother Zhang's face was terrible, I guess the captain said something ugly!"
"March 10th: Brother Zhang had a quarrel with the captain today, and the trouble was very fierce, I still asked the old man Wang on the top bunk to find out, the captain took advantage of Brother Zhang's inattention to throw his cat into the sea, and Brother Zhang almost got into a fight with the captain! But he was able to sleep well after all. ”
............
"March 19th: I don't know what happened, Brother Zhang has been chattering recently, he always says that his cat is back, this matter has been so long, the people on the boat think that Brother Zhang just wants to scare them, but Brother Zhang's dark circles look heavy, probably a nightmare at night, right?"
"March 20th: A lot of things happened today, and the whole ship seemed to be covered with a thick layer of haze, because Brother Zhang died...... Died in the cold storage, only found out this morning, Brother Zhang's two eyes were also very big, especially the cat scratches on his shoulders. This kind of thing happened, and the captain didn't plan to fish anymore, he decided to return tomorrow, and he told the people on the boat not to talk nonsense, but how can this kind of thing be stopped!"
"March 21st: Damn, I saw Brother Zhang when I went to the toilet with Old Man Wang at night! But wasn't his body thrown into the sea by us? What did I see? Why can't Old Man Wang see it? Brother Zhang is watching us at the end of the corridor!"
"March 22: I'm going crazy!! no one believes me! The captain warned me not to spread the word, but I did see it! The cat, black, was looking at me! Looking at me! Hahahaha......"
............
Quickly closed the last diary, Xie Liang felt cold in his heart, this diary made him very uncomfortable after reading it, the last diary record was very heavy, the handwriting was very crooked, and the words were full of hysteria and madness!
"What does it take for a normal person to become crazy?"
Thinking that the diary in his hand was a dead man, Xie Liang's body trembled, he felt that nothing felt right now, and the faint light of the pigeon's kiss set off the thick darkness around him.
Throwing away the diary in his hand, Xie Liang didn't dare to stay here anymore, and he left the room without looking back.
"Master!" After Xie Liang rushed towards the first deck, Pigeon Kiss suddenly spoke, it seemed to be afraid of something, it looked scared, and the black-gray flame body continued to twist and tremble: "It's on! Run to the first deck, quickly!"
"What started?"
Xie Liang ran faster when he heard the pigeon's words, and behind him, the iron door he opened creaked in the darkness, and a cold wind swept across his neck, and he felt extremely uneasy.
The entrance to the first deck was not far ahead, and Xie Liang suddenly found that the sunlight he had entered through the entrance at the beginning was gone!
The staircase and entrance were completely swallowed up by darkness, and the only light left in Xie Liang's hand in the entire fishing boat was like someone deliberately trying to cut him off.
Stepping on the stairs, when Xie Liang was only five or six steps away from the exit, he was suddenly stunned, and his brain became blank.
At the entrance to the first deck, a face swollen by sea bubbles appeared, two eyes bulging beyond the limits of human beings, a trace of pale skin hanging on the face, and the corners of the mouth pulled into a sickly and crazy smile.
"You saw that, right!" the chapped mouth slowly opened, and a cold, eerie voice came from his throat.
His pupils trembled slightly, Xie Liang couldn't breathe, as if someone was pinching his trachea, his hands and feet gradually became cold, and his body didn't need any strength.
The most realistic horror scene appeared in front of him, the sea water dripped down his wet hair on Xie Liang's face, and his brain couldn't control his body at all.
"it!"
Xie Liang reacted and shouted, he kicked on the puffy face, turned around and ran back in a panic.
"Ahhhh
At the same time, the pigeon kiss was also screaming in Xie Liang's mind, and the flames above his head disappeared in an instant, and it slipped from Xie Liang's hand into his arms, frightened.
"It's over, it's over!" Cold sweat kept pouring out, and Xie Liang didn't know where he was now, and he recalled the structure of the fishing boat in his mind.
He remembered that in addition to the three dormitories on the second floor, there was a large bathroom and a utility room for storing tools......! He didn't go through it completely, how could he know the exact location.
The two eyes are constantly searching in the dark, it is impossible to hide in the room, Xie Liang first ruled it out, because the room is so located, it is not too simple to find people, and the most important thing is that these rooms have been used by dead people!
"Squeak~"
There was a sudden sound at the end of the aisle, Xie Liang stopped running forward, he could hear that it was the sound of feet stepping on the wooden plank, and the frequency of the sound of feet stepping on the deck was still increasing.
"Is there something at the end of the aisle?" Xie Liang chuckled in his heart, and he tried his best to control his breathing, trying not to make a sound as much as possible.
Xie Liang slowed down his steps, bent his waist, and groped forward a little bit with his right hand against the wall, silently reciting in his heart that he couldn't see me.
Even if he didn't see what was at the end of the aisle, Xie Liang was sure that if he went to the end of the aisle, nothing good would happen.
Now he was calculating his location, and he remembered that when he ran over just now, he seemed to pass by the first two rooms, so there was only a room of about eight square meters left on the second floor, a bathroom, and a utility room.
Xie Liang didn't have a choice, there was a strange sound of deck stomping on both sides of the aisle, he was blocked in the middle of the aisle, if he didn't go into a place to hide as soon as possible, he would have to face two ghosts!
Darkness is both cover and an obstacle, without the light of the pigeon's kiss, Xie Liang's eyes were black, he wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide, listening to the sound of the decks on both sides, his steps involuntarily accelerated, and his two hands held the right wall forward.
Xie Liang wants to find the utility room or an eight-square-meter room, this is actually a helpless move, the bathroom is at the end of the aisle, and there is an unknown creature at the end of the aisle rushing to this side, if he slows down, there is a high probability that there is only that eight-square-meter room left to hide now!
As if to urge Xie Liang to quickly find a place to hide, when he was groping forward, on the other side of the aisle, that is, on the side of the entrance, Xie Liang heard the sound of the iron door closing.
It's that puffy swelling thing! He looked room by room.
Xie Liang clearly remembered that the room he had explored was not closed, and he didn't want to know what the hell thing was closing for.
If you find yourself in the room, there is no way back when you close the door, and at that time, it will perfectly fit the idiom of catching a turtle in an urn!
