XXXII. A Solo Adventure (Part II)
Actually, the ship was not very large, so I first went through the places where I could hide in my head, and then walked cautiously outside.
The night sky was clear after the rain, so I stood on the deck and lit a cigarette, calmed down a little, and then began to look around.
The situation on the deck is clear at a glance, there is no place to hide. I cautiously walked around the cabin, trying to get back to the bottom compartment behind the hull. Because I remember there was a compartment there.
The bodies were found in the bottom barn, but all my energy at the time was so absorbed by the corpses that I completely ignored the compartment. Maybe the 'Yellow River Ghost Cliff' is in that compartment.
I turned off the flashlight, and under the cover of night, I avoided Yang Xiaoqi's sight in the cockpit and cautiously came to the rear of the hull.
There was no one here, and I turned the flashlight back on. The deck behind the hull was empty.
The flashlight was not very bright, everything was hazy, and it didn't look very clear.
Suddenly, an object on the side of the ship caught my attention.
I couldn't see it clearly, but I was sure there was a white shadow standing there in the corner of the side of the ship. Squinted his eyes, making sure he was not mistaken.
"Who is it? Who's there? "My voice was shaking, it was nervous.
No one answered, and only the sound of machines and the flow of water could be heard in the darkness. I felt a straight hair in my heart, and I didn't know what that white shadow was.
Under the influence of people's hearts, the more unclear things are, the more terrifying they seem. I was terrified. But driven by curiosity, I still walked cautiously towards the white shadow.
After only a few steps, I was frozen in place. There is only one thought in my head, run. It's definitely not something I can handle alone. But my legs shook so badly that I twisted my thighs a few times and it didn't get better.
It was a man, a woman in white. It was the woman in white we saw in the air earlier.
She has been following us. I felt fear echoing through this sentence.
The woman stood strangely on the side of the ship, her shoulders seemed to have no center of gravity, and her head was deaf. It's like being hung there.
I was terrified to the extreme, and I just felt my scalp explode. Clenched fists there at a loss.
After waiting for about ten seconds, the woman in white didn't see any movement.
Why didn't she move? Hung up?
As soon as I thought of the word 'hanging', the sense of fear struck again.
I want to shout and call them all here, as long as there are many people around, I am not afraid that she is a human or a ghost. Still, reason tells me that it wasn't right, how would they feel if they saw me here alone now? I must guess I'm the one hiding in the group. To put it mildly, there is a possibility that I was tied up and interrogated severely.
The white shadow was motionless, and it shouldn't be a living thing. I comforted myself and slowly approached.
That's the corpse is not wrong, because of such a strange shape, even a ghost may not be able to pose.
The woman leaned against the side of the boat in a large figure, and I found that there was a bronze chain on the corpse's hands, and it was precisely because of these two chains that she was holding the corpse that she was allowed to stand there.
The bronze chain looked like an antiquity, and it was very rusty on it. Sticking in the sleeve of the woman's shirt, it seems to be locked somewhere. Or simply, the corpse was strung in chains.
At this time, I suddenly had a delusion, could this corpse fall from it, just hanging on our clothes?
I looked around again, then looked up at the canyon again.
Just one glance scared me out of my mind. I saw several such female corpses hanging a few meters above my head. All of them were strung in bronze chains, fixed in the air, swinging around like wind chimes.
Looking at the position of the bow of the ship, it was very obedient. The air in front of us was densely packed with such corpses. Yang Xiaoqi: Are their eyes detained? Is it impossible to see everything so obvious?
Looking at the female corpses floating in the air in front of me, I suddenly felt a feeling in my heart. Here, there is a hanging tomb.
The corpse on the side of the boat may have been a coincidence, or it was hoisted too low and scraped on the side of the ship as we passed by.
After some self-comfort, I finally regained my mind. I decided not to alarm the others for the time being, and went to the cubicle in the bottom warehouse to take a look myself.
I didn't pay any attention to the corpses on top of my head and on the side of the ship, and I put all my thoughts on the bottom compartment.
There were fifty-nine corpses in the bottom compartment, and it took a lot of guts to get in. I stood at the entrance behind the bottom warehouse, shining a flashlight inside, and it was so dark that it made people's hearts feel abrupt. After all, there are more than fifty people below who don't look the same at all. To say that you are not afraid is a lie.
Extinguished the cigarette butt fiercely, strengthened his courage, and finally walked towards the bottom warehouse.
When I passed by the corpses, I barely managed to reach the door of the cubicle with my eyes closed.
In hindsight, my actions were really looking for death. I don't want to think about what will happen to me if something happens.
This compartment is a place for hull fittings, which are filled with parts that are easily damaged.
I carefully shone my flashlight around, and there was nothing strange about it, and there was no sign of anyone living there. With a sigh, he closed the hatch and stepped back.
Passing by the corpses again, he went back outside the same way. Looking up, the corpses hanging from the bronze chains were already very sparse, and the places as far as the eye could see were not as dense as before.
I glanced at the corpse on the side of the ship again, and there was still nothing unusual. Nothing seems to be going wrong.
My mind was confused, and I slowly made my way to the cockpit. The lights inside were on, and Yang Xiaoqi was humming a song with a cigarette in his mouth.
I opened the hatch and walked in, only to find that Ayumi wasn't in the cabin.
"Can't sleep?" Yang Xiaoqi was not surprised when he saw me, and asked nonchalantly.
I nodded, said and walked around. Ask him where Ayumi went?
"Convenient to go".
I was stunned, and I couldn't react to these four words for a while. For me, an ice beauty like Ayumi shouldn't be involved in such a thing. When I came back to my senses, I felt ridiculous, people are also people, why can't there be three urgency.
I groaned and found a place to sit down. At this time, I noticed that Yang Xiaoqi rushed the lights on the boat to the river, no wonder I couldn't see the corpses in the air.
"Now it's just the two of us. You honestly tell the truth, who in the team has a problem? Yang Xiaoqi suddenly asked me in a low voice.
I didn't expect him to ask me that, and I didn't react for a while. He looked at him fixedly, and did not answer.
He didn't blame me, and muttered to himself, "If I want to think, the most problematic thing is the beard." But there is an even more terrifying feeling. ”。
"What is it?" I asked.
"Everybody has a problem." He said without hesitation.
I was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Including me?" ”。
"I'm talking about everyone!" Yang Xiaoqi did not answer my words clearly. But the meaning is already obvious.
He's doubting me too.
He continued, "There is still an hour to reach Yinyang Island, and I don't know what the situation will be when the time comes. To be honest, I had a bad feeling. ”。
"What does it feel?" I asked.
"There's one more person in the team!" Yang Xiaoqi replied.
I started to get a chill down my back and asked, "You said 'him'?" ”。
Yang Xiaoqi shook his head and said no. "This is a person who can't be seen, and it stands to reason that he should be a dangerous person. But on the contrary, I think that person will never harm us. It's weird at that. ”。
When he said this, I looked at him in fear. Not sure what he meant.
"Where do you see that there is one more person?" I asked.
"My own intuition." He said.
I breathed a sigh of relief and said disdainfully, "Intuition is the most deceiving." Don't trust your instincts lightly. ”。
Yang Xiaoqi turned his head and looked at me seriously, and then said very seriously: "Don't forget, I am the one who once had the judge's finger, although I have lost it, but the innate sixth sense is still there." If you don't believe it, my instincts have never been wrong. ”。
I looked at him in amazement, not sure how you would answer. At this time, Ayumi suddenly walked in from outside, and whispered with us: "Come out and see, there is a very strange thing." ”。
