Oriental Ghost Sea Chapter 85 Rivalry Meeting
This sound is now extremely clear, and because of the spatial structure, this clicking sound is not only amplified, but also a little ethereal to listen to.
"I said, it wasn't the sound of waves crashing against the walls of a boat." I took this opportunity to say to the fat man with a slight mockery.
"People have stumbled, horses have stumbled, what a big deal, let's go over and have a look." The fat man's attention was fully focused on the end of the hallway, and he was almost about to move towards that side.
I grabbed the fat man's arm and immediately stopped him.
"Don't forget what we're here for, it's important to find the old generation out first, there's no need for this kind of thing, we have to go over and see it."
"I said, why don't you understand after talking for a long time, can you go out now? You yourself have said that the elevator is all the way down, what if the elevator does not have the function of going up? Then we'll have to die at the bottom all the way down. ”
After the fat man finished speaking, he waved the fishing knife in his hand and pointed to the deepest part of the corridor and continued: "This sound is very regular, it doesn't seem to be artificial at all, so we have to go in and have a look." ”
"It's not that I don't want to go in, now that we've all met, there are some things that don't need to be done, this ship is so weird, you forgot how you went around the boat?"
The fat man took a sip and scratched his thick neck: "I must know the weirdness of this ship, and I'm not going to take risks." Mainly because I think this clicking sound is a bit like the sound of mechanical transmission. ”
It dawned on me that I immediately figured something out: "You mean it could be the entire hull mechanical room?" ”
The fat man nodded: "You can say that, but the exact reason should be called machine expansion." ”
I pinched my chin and nodded, and the fat man waved his arm again, and I followed him slowly into the depths of the hallway.
This is a road culvert-like passage, but it is larger than a culvert. The walls of the passage are so smooth that there are almost no traces of the wooden panels. There must have been something else under the planks here, so I was able to step on it without making any sound.
Inside the passage, I walked back and forth with the fat man, and I could already see the end of the passage in the range where the light hit. There was no murmur in the passage at this point, except for the sound of me and the fat man's breathing.
I didn't notice that the fat man suddenly stopped, but it was good to dodge in time, otherwise I would have hit his back again. Flashing over, I saw almost all of the sight outside the passage.
As soon as the fat man and I left the confines of the passage, we let out a long exhalation together, and we were both completely stunned by what we saw.
"Did you say we crossed, or did the ship cross?" The fat man stood aside and uttered the sentence almost word by word.
The cabin in front of us was supposed to be the round barrel-shaped cabin, and the structure of the cabin was beyond my imagination. Originally, in my mind, it was supposed to be a place with stands like an opera house, but I couldn't have imagined the current situation.
The chamber goes straight up and down, and our passage exit is not at the bottom, but inside the cylindrical chamber there is a central pillar with a large hub-like support beam that connects to the wall around the column.
It's hard to imagine or describe this space, but if you have to find a slightly more vivid analogy, the space here is like putting a dozen bicycle wheels on an axis, placed vertically on the ground, and the axis in the center is still rotating.
The exit of the passage where we are now standing is spinning, and I didn't notice it at first, mainly because we didn't feel any vibrations at all, and we didn't hear anything other than clicks.
It was only when we saw that the rotational speed between these big wheels was not synchronized that we realized that they were spinning here.
"This ...... Is this a treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty? I stammered, my face still spinning against the wheel-shaped structure above my head.
"Fat man, I'm messy now, where does the motivation for this thing come from?"
"Climb up?" I asked weakly.
"Sometimes I really don't understand what you think, if you want to be crushed into a pulp, just climb." The fat man almost rejected my offer.
There was another long silence, the fat man did not speak, and I did not ask any more questions. In the space in front of us, wheels were spinning one by one.
Now if I don't consider the power of the big wheel, then I can basically know why this ship is so weird, the big wheels on each floor drive part of the cabins and corridors on their own floor, the rotation of this wheel is absolutely imperceptible, so the person who walks in in the dark will inexplicably teleport to another corridor, so every time the fat man turns around, he enters a different corridor, which also proves why I suddenly appeared in the area of the bow of the ship.
Knowing what kind of structure it is, I have a lot less fear of being inside the ship. But another problem that made us feel weird came up again, and it was then that I understood the true meaning of the fat man's words, curiosity is really not a good thing.
The old generation has long been left behind by me, and the only thing I want to do is to climb up and take a good look at what kind of structure these roulette wheels are, and what exactly gives them motivation.
Before I knew it, I had reached the very edge of the outer aisle, and the speed of rotation was very smooth, and I didn't feel any inertia, so even if I was already standing on the very edge, I didn't feel unsteady at all.
"Don't just look at the top of your head, look under your feet." As he spoke, the fat man pressed my hand with the flashlight down, and the light swept over the support beam of the roulette wheel to the bottom of the cabin.
"Leaking from the bottom of the boat?" I exclaimed when I saw the ground at the bottom.
"It looks like it." The fat man watched from the sidelines, and at this time, his words were still a little flat.
At this time, the bottom of the chamber was very strange, I could see that there was water at the bottom, and there were waves on the surface of the water, and when the flashlight went down, the light was reflected by the seawater.
If it's just water seeping into the hull, then it's not a big deal, after all, no matter how tightly the wood is spliced, some water will seep in. But I could clearly see the traces underwater.
Because of the thrilling experience before, I briefly forgot some of what I saw and heard on the deck, but just when I saw the little tracer, I instantly thought of what it was.
It was the glowing creature I had seen when I was on deck, so there was a hollow at the bottom of the hull, and the bottom of the shaft was just there, and at the end of the central shaft there were three huge impellers, and the power of the central shaft was generated by the fact that the impellers were driven by the seawater.
Although we both said we wanted to climb up, the height of the roulette wheel was so high, so we just stood at the edge of the tunnel and watched. It was at this moment that suddenly something fell from the top of our heads.
I didn't see what it was, because the flashlight was shining in the other direction, the thing was in the backlight, and the thing was just passing by not far in front of us for a split second, so I didn't see it clearly.
At this point, the sound was very loud, and there was an echo, the black thing fell and smashed into the water, splashing ripples and a series of splashes exploded below, because of the emptiness, a series of sounds came up from below.
The fat man and I poked our heads down again, and the flashlight reflected on the water, and the black thing floated up from the water. The jet-black body, I just looked at it and knew what it was.
The merman on the surface of the water was obviously dead, floating on the surface of the water as if it were dead, and the sea water around it had been stained with black blood on the merman's body.
Looking at the corpse of the merman that suddenly fell from the top of our heads, we instantly realized that something was wrong and immediately looked up at the top of our heads.
The pillars of light passed through the pillars and beams, and the originally small range of light was divided into more than a dozen. The above situation is quite clear, that is, the rotating wheel with the supporting pillars between it always blocks our view.
Still, we could clearly see two people standing on a thick support beam about two stories above our heads.
At this time, one of them was holding a short knife, and from the tip of the knife, a black liquid could be faintly seen running down. These two people were not dodged by my light, and the light reflected two black shadows through it.
I was still thinking that these two people were really handsome in their movements, and one of them made a gesture of raising his hand, and both of them were wearing black outdoor clothes, which were very tight and close to the body.
There is no doubt about the identity of these two people, they are definitely two of the three bosses in Lei Bing's mouth, but why are there only two? The corpse, dressed in the same clothes as them, but in the hallway, aroused my suspicions. It seems that you will also fall into trouble.
I was thinking about how the fat man would react now that these people had already appeared, but I found that the fat man leaned towards me at a very fast speed. I didn't know what was going on until I was dragged back into the passage.
I only heard the whistling sound getting louder and louder, and when I approached the entrance of the passage, I saw that a short knife had been inserted into the position where I had just stood, and if I had dodged it any later, I would have been in a different place.
I glanced at the fat man in a hurry: "What the hell is this, why is this so violent when we meet." ”
As I was talking, I was dragged up by the fat man, and the fat man weighed the fishing knife in his hand a few times and said, "It seems that I have met an enemy, do you remember the person who pretended to be Jiang Huai?" ”
It seems that the conclusion that I misunderstood because of Lei Bing's tattoos and rotten iron cards at that time was true, and sure enough, no normal people would take the initiative to come to this special place. After a few moments of getting up, there was the sound of falling outside, and the two men were already standing on the nearest support beam from the entrance of the passage.
