Those two shadows are not Ronald and Halsey, but Szeto and Aoki.

The coal boss lay on top of Aoki's head as if he were hatching eggs, and when the firelight shone their shadows on the wall, it looked like a crooked hat.

When she saw the soundness at Aoki's feet, Su Huilan's nerves that had been tense were completely relaxed, and her body was so weak that she almost fell.

"Why are you here?" She asked, leaning against the wall.

Aoki said, "We went back to the ship and found that you weren't there, so we came down and took a look." What about Lady Larry and Alice? ”

"Aren't they up there?" Su Huilan said in surprise.

Aoki shook his head: "They are not on it, and the lifeboat left for you is gone." ”

Su Huilan felt that the situation was a little bad, so she briefly said what had just happened, and then asked, "What about the others?" ”

Situ said: "Because we couldn't find you, we split into two groups, Aoki and I went down to the cabin, and the others went to the lake in a dinghy to look for it, and Dewa answered it on the deck. ”

He glanced at the bodies of Ronald Cohen and Halsey in the room, "It's a little strange, let's go up and meet first." ”

Su Huilan nodded and followed them back to the bridge. When she left, she picked it up and reproached: "What are you running blindly!" ”

Meow soundly.

Su Huilan didn't really blame it, so she didn't say anything more.

The footsteps of three people rang out in the aisle. Su Huilan smiled self-deprecatingly, secretly blaming herself for the fuss just now, why didn't she think that the footsteps were coming down, so she had to think somewhere else, scaring herself half to death.

She always thought that she was bold enough to keep a cool head no matter how thrilling the scene was, but she didn't expect to lose an adult today. Thinking of Ramlane's visions, she felt that her spirit was suffering from some unknown influence.

She was secretly admonishing herself to always be careful in the future, when she suddenly discerned the familiar sound of the pulling board from the footsteps of the three people:

Tap, tap, tap, ......

The familiar voice gave her a creep at this point. If it was Situ and Aoki walking above her head just now, how could she not hear it?

Is there really something else?

Su Huilan followed the two men forward in a little panic, thinking crankily in her heart. She glanced back, as if she saw a figure leaning against the door frame of the captain's room looking at them.

She let out a soft scream.

Situ and Aoki turned around at the same time: "What's wrong?" ”

Su Huilan took a closer look, and found that except for the small circle of dim light illuminated by the torch in her hand, there was darkness ahead, and there was no fire in the captain's room, where could she still see the slightest shadow.

She took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, I might be nervous." ”

Aoki knew what kind of woman Su Huilan was, and frowned, "It's really okay?" ”

The crow croaked, "She must have seen that shadow, didn't she, woman?" I'll just say, there's something here, I saw it last time, quack, I guess it's a ghost in the space-time static zone, maybe only women and birds can see it, well, that's it. ”

Meow soundly, seemingly unconvinced.

The crow said, "Oh, and the cat, and the cat may be able to see, quack." ”

Situ glanced into the depths of darkness and said, "This ship is still isolated from the spiritual force field of the outside world, and I suspect that it has a negative spiritual field that is affecting our consciousness. Ramla's environment is inherently special, and it interferes with our spirits a lot, and the disturbance here may be even stronger. We'd better go up first and wait until the people are there. ”

Su Huilan agreed. She never believed that the dried corpse would come back to life, something must have affected her consciousness. Seeing Situ and Aoki's calm appearance, she sighed secretly, compared to them, her mental power was still a little weaker.

I didn't encounter any strange conditions along the way, and I got back to the deck without any problems.

Dewar waited for them on the deck, and when he saw that only Su Huilan had followed them up, he understood that Lady Larry and Alice were not on the ship.

"Ivan, they haven't come back yet?" Situ asked.

Dewar pointed to the shore of the lake on the other side and said, "They paddled over that side." ”

Due to the twisting shoreline, most of the lake is dense vegetation or convex rocks, and the lake is so wide that a dinghy is docked, and it is unlikely that it will be visible from the deck of the Swordfish without a telescope.

"How did you get over there?" Aoki said suspiciously, "It's the opposite direction where we came ashore, and there's no smooth beach for people to land onto." ”

"Could it be that someone got on the boat and took them captive?" Su Huilan said with a little reproach, "I shouldn't have left them alone." ”

Situ said, "No, the Itesa people regard the Swordfish as a devil's lair, and they won't come near it." Normally, there would be no one else here, so they should have left by boat on their own, but why did they go in that direction? ”

Dewar's face was a little heavy, "When you got down the cabin, there were a few gunshots. The sound was faint, but I was sure it was gunshots, and the birds that suddenly flew up in the woods proved that I was right. Redbeard must have heard it too, so that's why they looked in that direction. ”

Su Huilan remembered: "It's Alice's gun?!" ”

Unfortunately, they only had two small boats in total, one was the original lifeboat, which was now rowed away by Mrs. Larry and Alice, and the other small fishing boat brought by Dewar was now rowed by four men to find someone. There were many canoes and rafts on the beach that the Itessians had made when they had set up camp, but they were far away, and the few men left on the Swordfish had to stay on deck to do their jobs.

Aoki said to the coal boss, "You fly over and take a look." ”

The coal boss flew out with a croak, flew all the way to the lake on the opposite bank, searched along the lake shore for a while, and suddenly flashed into the dense forest.

It didn't take long for it to fly back and say, "Both boats are there, they are searching in the woods and have not found anyone yet." ”

Aoki said, "You didn't notice it either? ”

The crow said, "The forest is so dense that you can't see anything when you fly high." Or I'll look for it again! ”

Aoki thought for a moment and said, "The priests of Itessa should have results soon, you take a shortcut and go directly to the Urakan tribe to see what they are doing, and if you find Lady Larry and Alice, come back and tell us immediately." Be careful not to crash into their psychic formation! ”

The crow flew out with another croak, and soon disappeared into the distant sky.

Su Huilan thought back to the whole process, and always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it.

Situ suddenly asked her, "Did you really hear movement in the cabin just now?" ”

Su Huilan nodded and said, "I did hear a sound on the bridge. I've heard some of them since I went down, but I'm not sure if it's the stress of the environment that is causing me to be nervous. The last footsteps you heard should have been yours, but ......"

She wanted to say that it didn't look like Aoki's slapping sound, but she wasn't sure if she was in a state where she could distinguish between different footsteps.

Situ looked into the distance thoughtfully, "Lady Larry and Alice have no reason to go in that direction, if they were really taken captive by the Itsa, then there is only one possibility......"

"What?"

"Their huge mental formation can affect this place all the time, causing people to hallucinate and even dream."
