Thanks for reading! Thank you for reading the original version! Click, add to the bookshelf, ask for recommendation, thank you!
It was a spherical space, the walls of the cabin were painted with red symbols, the ground was covered with cotton silk red gelatin, mixed with the bones of various creatures, and in the center of the cabin a huge ball full of red hair stood in the center of the space, and the red ball was full of yellow runes, which were being impregnated with red viscous liquid from the bottom. A giant head alive!
"So what is that, are we in the tiger's mouth again?" Chen Xin said tremblingly.
"It looks like so!" Lu Chen looked at the cabin full of bones and said with a frown. Turning his head, a humanoid skeleton with a round cap slumped into the cabin arm, holding a book tightly in his arms, and saw that he was dressed as a captain or something.
Lu Chen broke open the skeleton and took out the book, this is actually another logbook!
Flipping through the log, although the paper inside was soaked with viscous liquid, he could still see the words inside, and Lu Chen read it quietly.
"The year 3578 in the Styx calendar
The body of the Emperor of the Underworld gradually declined, so he was obsessed with the theory of immortality, and heard that there were miracles on the sea, and Kong had the elixir of life, so he repaired the name of the giant ship and selected ten elites from all walks of life, a total of 1357 people, with the alchemy monk Kong Lan, went to sea to find medicine. I hope that everything will go smoothly when going to sea this time, the way of heaven is ruthless, the faint king has no way, immortality is a legend, how to find it! ”
The first page seems to be a historian's own statement, but is this not a logbook but a historian's diary? This cargo is not a captain, but a miscellaneous fish? With a puzzled expression, Lu Chen remembered to look down.
"The year 3579 in the Styx calendar
It has been more than a year since I went to sea, and there have been no miracles at sea, the self-sufficiency on the ship has begun to fail to keep up with the consumption, small complaints have begun to appear on the ship, people have lost faith in the miracle, and the purpose of staying on the ship has become waiting for death! ”
It can be seen that there has been no news after going to sea to find medicine for a year, and the supply is insufficient, and the people on the ship have begun to lose confidence, and the reason why they still stay on the ship is because they are afraid of being killed after returning. Lu Chen turned the next page and continued to read.
"At the end of the year 3579 in the Styx calendar
The supply on the ship is seriously insufficient, everyone often fights for food, some people have a nervous breakdown, jump into the sea to commit suicide, but fortunately we encountered a school of migratory fish, and the last remaining people who caught the fish ate for half a year! Supplies were temporarily relieved. People have completely lost the idea of finding a cure. ”
"The year 3570 of the Styx calendar
We finally see the land! Some people advocated recuperation on the spot, while some people could not worry about their families and returned the same way after replenishment. In the end, half of the people took half of the resources on board, including half of the rescue boats. The rest of the people returned the same way after resupplying, and re-forged a logbook, deliberately obscuring the words on it, and even adding some frightening and confusing words at the end. They wanted to escape in an escape boat before the ship docked, and disguised as a ship encountered a strange incident at sea, and everyone was killed! ”
"The year 3571 of the Styx calendar
Miracles! Miracles! We actually saw miracles! A pillar of blue light that reaches the sky! Everyone was excited, it turned out that this was not a legend! We kept trying to get closer to find the elixir, but the waves were too strong for us to get close to, and just when we were desperate, a robe immortal flew from the pillar of light! He knows why we're here! Then he gave one of us a small ball full of hair, and a small red ball, saying that it was a water monkey, which could help us find our way and search for food at sea! Its flesh is the elixir! Then the immortals left, and we began to rebel.
Everyone is very happy to get the water monkey, this is a living elixir, as long as you keep it, you can always produce it!
Some people couldn't resist the temptation of immortality, so they stewed and ate the water monkey that night! Sure enough, the immortals did not deceive people, and the people who ate the water monkeys were all much stronger, and they no longer needed to eat every day. Under their temptation, more and more people ate the water monkeys. Somehow, I always felt that the emotions of the living water monkeys were not quite right, so I ordered everyone to keep the water monkeys in the front cargo hold. Of course, the order was opposed, and after several mediations, it was finally agreed that the water monkeys should be kept in the front cargo hold, but that they could be taken out at any time if someone needed food. ”
"Year 3572 in the Styx calendar
It's another year, and we're going home in one year according to the previous route, and everyone is very excited. Recently, however, there have been some problems on the ship, and the people who have eaten the monkeys have begun to itch and have a lot of hair, but on the whole there are no major problems, and everyone ignores the problem under the temptation to go home. The water monkeys are also very good, the size of a fist, and we found that they can actually float in the air, and the hair on their bodies can be manipulated as freely as their arms! The important thing is that they also have eyes, but they are hidden in the hair and it is difficult to notice. ”
Seeing this, Lu Chen finally understood that the previous flying skull was a water monkey, and they were actually elixirs! The red ball in front of you is the red water monkey? So why is it here? According to the logbook, they will be able to return home in one year, and they obviously have not returned home at the moment. What really happened this year? Lu Chen then turned the next page.
"The year 3573 of the Styx calendar
We've seen the outline of the continent in the distance, and we'll be home in a month! But there are more and more strange things on the ship. It's not uncommon for crew members to find that their things seem to have been touched, and different people see two identical people in different places! But there was only one at the time of the assembly! And someone on board began to go missing! People who eat water monkeys begin to grow crazy hair, and they can't shave it no matter how they shave, and it will grow on the second day after they are shaved off on the first day, and the whole person is like a huge water monkey! There was only a month left to go home, but we were caught in fear! I really hope that this last month will be safe and sound. ”
Why didn't the situation go? What happened to them?
Lu Chen flipped through the logbook and looked for it several times but didn't see the follow-up, only to see that there was a piece of paper missing from the logbook, which was torn off violently by someone, and the pieces of paper left on it were extremely uneven.
After rummaging through the skeleton of the suspected captain several times, Lu Chen finally found a crumpled ball of paper in the crack of his spine.
The paper ball was full of stains and tooth marks, Lu Chen carefully opened the paper ball, for fear of tearing it, the ruins on it were barely recognizable, very scribbled, and the person who could see the writing was very excited and uneasy.
"The year 3573 of the Styx calendar
This may be the last time I write a logbook, and I'm not sure if I'll ever live, because what's been happening lately is so incredible that no one even believes it! It's terrible, it's horrible, it's horrible! It was probably the most horrible thing I've ever experienced in my life, and all of it was added up to less than a tenth of it! ”
After using a few "too terrible" in a row, it seems that he is indeed very scary when he encounters something, Lu Chen groaned in his heart and continued to look down.
"Since the last time I disappeared, the people on the ship were panicked and suspicious of each other, and they all thought that someone wanted to swallow the elixir for themselves, so they killed people. People who have eaten the elixir of life are like water monkeys all day long, constantly growing hair, and even their hair can actually move!
It all started on that stormy night! That was the beginning of the horror! That day, we actually saw the pillar of light again, this time the difference was that there was fog on the sea, and the surroundings were hazy, and we could only barely see in the pillar of light, but suddenly a circle of light was suddenly released from the pillar of light, and the circle swept over the hull of the ship, and everything was different!
Suddenly there was a terrible singing sound on the ship, each more miserable than the other, and the people who had eaten the elixir also cried and cried together, and some even began to bite themselves, many people were injured by their backs, and finally in the hearts of everyone, we tied those people to the rear cargo hold. The mournful singing continued, and it didn't affect anything else, and although everyone was worried, they didn't care. When the storm had passed, everyone was exhausted, and although the mournful singing continued, everyone gathered in the kitchen cabin to eat.
Everyone at the dinner table found that there was one more person! The chef brought a bowl of soup with his hands behind his back, and it was his hands that stewed in the soup! A bloody severed hand dripping blood from the back! But some people can't see the hands in the soup! I drank the soup one bite after another, and began to chew my tongue! A mouth full of blood! The chef laughed as he watched from the sidelines.
The sober people began to retreat, but when the chef saw them retreating, he picked up the kitchen knife with an angry face and cut it, and after the people knocked him down, he still got up and dragged the kitchen knife, and slashed at everyone, even if his leg was broken, he still slashed at the people on his stomach one by one, and a long string of blood marks came out on the ground! The crowd had no choice but to kill him.
However, there was a sudden loud noise outside the cabin, and everyone who ran to the deck saw that the front cargo hold was knocked open by the water monkeys, and the rear cargo hold was also opened by them, and the humanoid water monkeys were released, and even the lifeboat and gangway were cut off by them and thrown into the sea, in short, there was chaos on the deck.
Then, the water monkeys were wrapped around the heads of the humanoid water monkeys, like big-headed dolls, and soon the heads of the big-headed dolls turned blood-red, and blood kept oozing down. People who are still awake scatter and flee, but often people who flee together will find that the people around them suddenly become water monkeys, and then they are pounced and eaten!
Thankfully, I was alone in a box in the captain's room, so they didn't find me.
Later, all the water monkeys, led by a red water monkey, headed towards the bilge, taking with them the remains that had not yet been eaten.
Then I heard a loud roar, an explosion, and a terrible song coming from the bottom of the boat, and I couldn't help but be curious to follow the traces, if I were given a chance, I would never have chosen this choice!
When I came to the bottom cabin, I saw that the previous immortal put a mask on the face of the red water monkey, and opened a new space, the other water monkeys had no way outside the space, they couldn't enter, this is an excellent safe place! The immortal wrote down the golden rune, presumably to seal the water monkey. He also told me that I could be rescued when someone found me again. I excitedly thanked the immortals and watched them leave.
I tried to run out of this space halfway, and found that the traces on the ship were cleaned up, and every time I came to bring back some food in a hurry, I was driven back by the water monkeys, during which the water monkeys kept throwing the corpses in, and the blood and corpses were constantly absorbed by the red water monkeys, and the golden runes were also corroded into red! ”
At the end of the paper was a paragraph
"Perhaps, no one will find out about me, the immortals lied to me! Just like before he lied to us that the water monkey is an immortal medicine! What bullshit immortals, what bullshit immortals, it's all bullshit! ”
It can be seen that the last few sentences are full of atmosphere, this person never said who he was, but he really recorded everything, and finally tore off the most critical page in anger!
After reading this, Lu Chen's suspicion of Qiqi became heavier and heavier, and he turned his head to look at Qiqi, only to see Qiqi also looking at him with a weird smile!
