There were a lot of scales growing on the wall for no reason, and these scales were spreading in the captain's office at a very fast speed, and Aoko was too frightened by these scales to move, so she had to stay in a daze. Fortunately, at the last moment, Zhang Ze stepped forward and dragged Qingzi back, the two stumbled and fell, and Zhang Ze shouted.

"Old Fang, take Qingzi away."

Fang Fan hurriedly stepped forward and dragged Qingzi to the side, and the scales rushed towards Zhang Ze who fell to the ground, and Zhang Ze rolled to the side a few times before avoiding the attack of the scales. At this time, Fang Fan had already run out of the room with Qingzi and Zhuo Man, and the moment Zhang Ze ran out, the scales had already eroded the entire office. Zhuo Man stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Zhang Ze, are you okay?"

"It's fine."

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze glanced at each other and said.

"Looks like the basilisk wants to assimilate the ship."

"What do you mean?"

"These are snake scales, and the snake demon is afraid that he will turn us into his kind."

"Is this the reason why the captain died?"

"No, the snake demon hadn't launched an offensive when the captain died."

At this time, Fang Fan looked at Zhuo Man and then asked.

"Dolman, did you just find anything on the captain's corpse?"

"No, I've never been near the captain's body."

Fang Fan didn't ask any more, and after glancing at Zhuo Man indifferently, he turned to Qingzi and asked.

"Aoko, what did you just see on that wall?"

"I saw a glowing human face."

Several people were taken aback, could it be a mask? But now that the captain's room is no longer accessible, not to mention that it is impossible to destroy the walls that are firmly covered by hard snake skin, and it is not even clear what will happen if the human body comes into direct contact with the snake scales. Fang Fan looked at the captain's room again, and found that those snake scales seemed to be alive, and they spread and stopped in front of the door of the deputy captain's office next to it, it seemed that it was only aimed at the captain, but the captain was already dead, so why bother? Fang Fan said suddenly.

"Zhang Ze, you take them to other places on the ship to see if there are any places that have been eroded by snake scales, and I'll take a look nearby."

"Watch out for yourself."

After that, several people began to act separately, Zhuo Man took two bodyguards to the second floor to check, Zhang Ze and Qingzi went to the third floor to check, and the entire first floor was handed over to Fang Fan. After a few people left, Fang Fan came to the deputy captain's office, and the deputy captain was sitting behind the desk drawing something.

"How's the drawing?"

"It's almost done."

"Very good, you take pictures of all the important places and send them to me."

"Are you sure this will work?"

"Let's be a dead horse as a live horse doctor."

"Okay, I'll send it to you when I'm done."

Suddenly, Fang Fan saw the same globe as the captain's office in the deputy captain's office and said.

"You're the same globe as Captain Hunter?"

"I'm just a showman."

Suddenly, the deputy captain realized that he had spoken out of his mouth, and hurriedly lowered his head and continued to do the work in hand. Fang Fan looked at the deputy captain suspiciously, then cleared his throat and said.

"How did you and Hunter meet?"

"We were close friends, and it could be said that Hunt took me on the path of sailing, when I graduated from the Marine Academy, and Hunt was already a captain who had circled the globe several times. I had the opportunity to listen to his lecture on nautical knowledge, and at the end I talked with him a lot, and although we were very different in age, we were strikingly similar in reverence for the sea (rè) (ài), so I applied to work on his ship, and Hunt readily agreed. ”

"Hunter has his own ship?"

"Of course, although he is working for Mr. Zhuo, he is a veritable invisible rich man, his family was the commercial overlord of the sea back then, and there were dozens of large merchant ships alone, almost monopolizing the maritime trade at that time."

The commercial overlord of the sea, at this time, Fang Fan thought of the legend about the merchant ship Zansobi. So he asked.

"Could it be that the Zansobi belongs to his?"

"How do you know? Did Hunter tell you about it? ”

"No, no. I'll just ask. ”

"The Zansobi was his family's largest merchant ship at the time, and it was sunk for unknown reasons. Later generations linked the cause of the shipwreck with the legend of the mask at that time, saying that there was an inexplicable curse on the mask, and many bizarre legends flowed out. ”

It's too coincidental in the world, it turns out that the Zonsobi is the property of the Hunter family, Fang Fan then asked.

"Did Hunter know that the ship's predecessor (shēn) was the Zansobi, so he came here to be the captain?"

"It seems that this is the case, once when I was talking to him, he said that he wanted to rekindle the glory of the family."

"Rekindle the glory of the family? Could it be that their family has fallen? ”

"It's not entirely in decline. Since the sinking of the Zansobi, his family seems to have suffered a lot in terms of business, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, no matter how down, but with the family's wealth accumulated over the years, it can be regarded as strong. ”

"Did you find that mask later?"

"It seems that he didn't find it, and every time he mentioned the mask, Hunter always avoided talking about it, as if he was afraid of the curse of the mask."

It turns out that Hunter knew in advance that the Medusa is the Zandobie, and it is very likely that he came for the mask, and the other possibility is that he has already found the mask. At this time, the deputy captain said excitedly.

"That's it."

"Painted?"

"It's done, this is the emergency evacuation map you want, and I've marked some sturdy evacuation routes with a red pen."

"Okay, good work."

Suddenly, the deputy captain is colored.

"You must avenge the captain."

Fang Fan nodded solemnly, he was just about to go out, but he retreated back and said.

"Is there anything else you want to tell me about the globe?"

The deputy captain said in a panic.

"No... It's nothing. ”

"But I've found that secret door, and if you tell me how to get in, it might go a long way in avenging the captain."

The deputy captain still refused to let go.

"I really don't know. I didn't even know there was a secret door in the captain's quarters. ”

"Okay, I know, thank you for the drawing, and please send it to my phone quickly."

"No problem."

The moment Fang Fan walked out of the office, he realized that perhaps the relationship between the deputy captain and the captain was far from as good as the deputy captain described. Now there is also a possibility that the captain has found the mask, but the deputy captain covets the power of the mask, so he somehow kills the captain. Fang Fan hurriedly ran to the monitoring room and searched for it in a hurry.

The third floor of the Medusa has only a few guest rooms, and the other half is a large platform with a sea view, so it is also easy to find. Zhang Ze found a rope to tie his left wrist with Qingzi's right wrist, so that it would be convenient for him to protect Qingzi, and Qingzi could also tell Zhang Ze the location of those unclean things in time.

"Aoko, did you find anything?"

Qingzi shook his head, his eyes kept on his feet, and Zhang Ze didn't pay much attention to it. The two continued to walk forward when a well-dressed man walked out of the guest room. Facing Zhang Ze and Qingzi, the man looked at the two and said.

"Gentlemen, you should go back to your rooms."

Zhang Ze took a closer look at the man, the man (shēn) wore a pen (tǐng) suit, a pair of white hands (tào) on his hands, a top hat on his head, a monocle on his left eye, and a well-made cane in his right hand.

"Hello, I'm a police officer, let's see if it's safe on board."

"I see. Four people have already died, and I wonder if it will be my turn next. ”

Zhang Ze complained in his heart, this man is cruel to himself (tǐng), and he dares to say such poisonous words. At this time, Zhang Ze felt that his hand was being dragged backwards by a force, and when he looked back, he found that Qingzi was slowly retreating. Zhang Ze asked in the past.

"What's wrong?"

Qingzi didn't speak, his eyes looked at the man, and the man took two steps and came to Zhang Ze and said.

"Who do you think will die next? Could it be the little couple next door, or the waiter who just delivered the meal, or maybe me? ”

Suddenly, the man paused for a moment and continued.

"It could be you."

Suddenly, a light flashed in the man's eyes, Zhang Ze took a step back, and the man said with a smile.

"Hahaha, I'm kidding you."

Zhang Ze smiled awkwardly and asked.

"Who are you?"

"Hello, I'm Count Seth, and I'm here to find my roots."

"Roots?"

"That's right."

The Count of Seth made a gesture of please, motioning for the two to follow him, and he continued.

"I think you both know the legend of Dongquan Island, right?"

Zhang Ze suddenly remembered the legend that Captain Hunter had said before.

"Oh, I heard that. Legend has it that an earl built an earl's house on East Springs Island, and then his whereabouts are unknown. ”

"Exactly, that count is my ancestor. I also found a lot of information to confirm this matter, so I have to go to Dongquan Island to find my roots, and maybe I can still find the treasures left by my ancestors. ”

The three of them chatted while walking, and finally Seth invited Zhang Ze and Qingzi to dine together, Zhang Ze couldn't refuse, so he had to follow Seth to the restaurant on the third floor. The restaurant is not very large, and there are about ten tables and chairs for guests to eat. They chose a table in the middle of the dining room, with Count Seth sitting on the left, Zhang Ze sitting across from him, and Aoko sitting next to Zhang Ze. At this time, the three waiters handed over the menu to Seth, Zhang Ze, and Qingzi respectively. Zhang Ze and Seth took the menu from the waiter's hand and looked at it, and Qingzi shook his head again and again in resistance. Zhang Ze hurriedly cleared the siege.

"Just give him a glass of water."

The waiter politely took back the menu. Zhang Ze asked for a pasta and a steak for himself, and Seth asked for some dessert and a bottle of red wine. After the food was served, Zhang Ze pushed the steak in front of Qingzi and motioned for him to eat. Aoko suddenly whispered.

"Dirty."

Zhang Ze looked at Seth's watch (qíng) and whispered to Qingzi.

"Don't be rude, eat quickly."

Qingzi was still unwilling, and when Zhang Ze was about to eat pasta, Qingzi pulled the rope on his wrist violently, and the fork in Zhang Ze's hand fell to the ground. Zhang Ze looked at Qingzi with some anger, and then Seth motioned to the waiter to bring another (tào) cutlery to Zhang Ze. Zhang Ze's angry appearance frightened Qingzi, and he sat silently on the side, watching Zhang Ze finish eating the pasta in front of him. Seth smiled and poured a glass of red wine for Zhang Ze and sent it to him.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I won't drink."

At this time, Seth shook his wine glass and said triumphantly.

"This is a delicacy that you can't enjoy in the world, are you sure you won't taste it?"

The wine glass in Seth's hand kept shaking, and Zhang Ze suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. Unknowingly, he took the wine glass in Seth's hand, and the red liquid slid into his stomach after turning in his mouth, Zhang Ze said.

"Good wine."

Zhang Ze was dizzy for a while, Qingzi was trembling with fear on the side, Seth looked at Zhang Ze (yīn) and smiled dangerously, and suddenly many green cracks appeared on Seth's face, and the previous appearance of smiling suddenly became terrifying. Seth opened his mouth to reveal rows of sharp teeth, ready to bite Zhang Ze's neck, Qingzi yanked Zhang Ze, dragged him off the chair, just knocked over Qingzi's cup of water, and poured the whole cup of water on Zhang Ze's face, Zhang Ze suddenly came to his senses. When he saw Seth's appearance, he was suddenly shocked and rolled backwards, and Aoko followed a few steps back. Suddenly, Zhang Ze felt that his mouth was sticky, and then he felt that there was a smell of blood, it seemed that what was in the wine glass just now was not wine, but blood.

Zhang Ze looked at the mutated Seth, no wonder Qingzi made so many unreasonable moves just now, it turned out to be advising himself not to fall for Seth, and when Zhang Ze looked at the food on the table again, he almost vomited. I saw that the pasta he had just eaten turned out to be the intestines of some unknown animal, but the steak was indeed a piece (ròu), but it was crawling with maggots. Zhang Ze suddenly understood, it turned out that he had been blaming Qingzi all along. Look around again is still a restaurant, but it is not as clean and tidy as before, there are several large wine barrels next to an old bar, and there are crooked tables and chairs all around, and the waiter who handed them the menu before has long been missing, and suddenly Zhang Ze shouted at Seth.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Those who intrude on us must die."

Suddenly, many black water columns appeared from the ground, and then those water columns gradually transformed into human forms, and they attacked Zhang Ze and Qingzi under the control of Seth. Zhang Ze took out the dagger of 防 (shēn) and cut the rope and said to Qingzi.

"You go quickly, I'll hold them back."

Aoko shook her head and hid under the table next to her. Seth yelled.

"None of you can leave, you have to be buried with the Zansobi."

Zhang Ze was taken aback, could it be that he was now (shēn) in the Praise Sobi? No way, it's supposed to be the snake demon doing the trick. There were more and more people coming out of the ground, and Zhang Ze couldn't use the power of the green snake, so he had to fight with a dagger, and when the dagger was slashed on those people (shēn), it would also cause them some damage, after all, Zhang Ze's anti-shēn dagger was obtained from Fang Haotian.

This dagger was first in Mo Zhu's place, and after Mo Zhu was killed in Luoyun Town, Zhang Ze got this dagger. Later, when the nightmare was restless in Fang Fan's body for the first time, Fang Haotian officially handed over the dagger to Zhang Ze, saying that it could save Fang Fan's (xìng) life when Fang Fan was out of control, that is, the power that could suppress the nightmare. As for the origin and name of this dagger, Fang Haotian never mentioned it.

This dagger can even suppress the power of the nightmare, not to mention the few people who came out of the ground in front of him. They are called human only because they are humanoid, and as for whether they are human or not, it is really unclear, so we can only call them Black Water Monsters for the time being. After a few rounds, Zhang Ze was a little tired, and he found that the plate of 'pasta' he had eaten before not only did not give him energy, but made him very weak.

At this time, Seth summoned a lot of black water monsters from the ground, and this time the black water monsters were no longer as leisurely and casual as before, but rushed towards Zhang Ze together. Two fists are invincible to four hands, Zhang Ze was attacked on his abdomen and back, and finally curled up on the ground with his head in his arms, Qingzi trembled under the table, and was very scared. Zhang Ze's eyes met with Qingzi from the gap, and Zhang Ze smiled slightly, as if telling Qingzi not to be afraid. At this time, Qingzi slammed into the black water monster that surrounded Zhang Ze and fell on Zhang Ze (shēn), and the black water monster swarmed up again. Zhang Ze shouted.

"Aoko, get out of here."

said so, but at this time, there was no way out, and the two of them were surrounded by the black water monster on the inside and outside of the three layers. Zhang Zeyi struggled to protect Qingzi (shēn), and the black water monster's fists and claws came like a tide. At this time, Zhang Ze felt that Qingzi trembled even more, and suddenly Qingzi flew Zhang Ze out with force, Zhang Ze in mid-air saw that not only did he fly out, but even those black water monsters also retreated, and the next second, Qingzi suddenly let out a roar of shock (dàng) thousands of miles, and (ròu) eyes could see a huge sound wave spreading out from Qingzi (shēn), and all the black water monsters were shattered, and even Seth was seriously injured.

After roaring, Aoko fainted. Zhang Ze fell down heavily, and he quickly got up and ran to the side of Qingzi (shēn), and when he saw that he was breathing evenly, he put him aside first. Turning to the side of Seth (shēn), who was now dying, he said.

"No... Unexpectedly... Years later... I will still bury (shēn) the sea. ”

After saying that, it turned into a cloud of black smoke and dispersed. Zhang Ze took a closer look, only to see that the three layers of glass were shattered, and a hundred-meter-high wave was set off on the sea with the ship as the center, and Zhang Ze knew in his heart that this was all the energy that erupted from Qingzi's roar just now. Zhang Ze was stunned by the power that Qingzi had just burst, and then his phone rang.

"Zhang Ze, where are you?"

Zhang Ze didn't answer Fang Fan's question, and asked rhetorically.

"Old Fang, did you feel something just now?"

"I heard a roar, and then the boat stopped."

Zhang Ze hung up the phone. At this time, Qingzi woke up, Zhang Ze hugged Qingzi excitedly, and Qingzi whispered in Zhang Ze's ear.

"Are you alright?"

Zhang Ze grabbed Qingzi's shoulders and said excitedly.

"It's okay, it's okay. Aoko, you are a hero, the hero who saved us. What's the deal with that roar you just had? ”

"I was just scared, so I screamed."

Zhang Ze laughed happily.

"Hahaha. Oh my God, just screaming is so powerful, if you use all your strength, won't the sky fall apart? ”

After the earthquake (dàng) just now, the third floor returned to normal, and many passengers came out of the room one after another, they were all shocked by the roar just now, so they discussed with each other. Zhang Ze found that he was not in a restaurant at all at this time, but at the staircase on the third floor, which means that when he and Qingzi just went up to the third floor, they were hallucinated by Seth, and all the things they saw afterwards were conjured up by Seth. As for Seth, Zhang Ze guessed that he should have died in the shipwreck of the Zansobi, and he still hasn't been reincarnated for so many years, presumably he must have been imprisoned by this ship (jìn), and more reasons may come from the power of the snake demon.

Zhang Ze, who was excited, took Qingzi and prepared to find Fang Fan, because Fang Fan just said that the ship had stopped, although Qingzi's amazing strength was something to be happy about, but the most critical thing at this time was to find the mask first. Zhang Ze took Qingzi to the cockpit, and when he found that Zhuo Man hadn't come yet, he asked.

"Old Fang, didn't you call Zhuo Man and ask her to come over?"

"You fight."

Zhang Ze dialed Zhuo Man's phone, but no one answered for a long time. Zhang Ze called several times in succession, but no one answered. Zhang Ze looked at Fang Fan anxiously and said.

"Old Fang, Zhuo Man is missing."

Fang Fan was silent at first, and then said lightly.

"That man is not Dolman."
