I've seen a variety of zongzi. But it was the first time I had seen such an unusual skeleton. The most critical thing is. This is the first time I've seen a skeleton that moves on its own. I'm not drinking too much and having nightmares.

I moved back vigilantly. But he almost tripped over something under his feet.

Afterglow glanced at his feet. I was shocked again.

Between a pile of clutter. A blood-red human leg bone appeared. The foot bones that are connected to it are dangling and shaking. It was as if he was trying to trip me up.

I moved my gaze along the leg bone. Sure enough, I saw a blood-colored skeleton again.

Realizing that the situation could be even worse than I thought. I hurried past the skeleton. Jump onto a barrel. Look around.

It doesn't matter. I felt windless and cold. Goosebumps all over my body.

It's in a small area near me. There were seven or eight blood-colored skeletons. And the one who is not responsible still maintains the human form. There are different poses.

This situation makes me feel uneasy. But I waited a long time. But I didn't see any movement from the blood-colored skeletons. It's just a slight swing of the skeleton. I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

I squatted on the barrel. Waited for a while. Still no movement from the scarlet skeletons. before carefully jumping off the barrel. Hold your bayonet in front of you. Slowly retreat.

Suddenly. I thought of a possibility. And I really want to verify it right away. Otherwise, I'm afraid these skeletons will become regulars in my nightmares from now on.

Thereupon. After a few deep breaths. I was careful to walk closest to me. The blood-colored skeleton with a relatively "elegant" shape walked over. At the same time, I used my keen hearing to watch everything around me vigilantly.

After it is determined that there is no threat. I cautiously bent over and gradually approached the blood-colored skeleton. And as expected, he found something wrong.

The skeleton itself should be white. But it was densely covered with a blood-red insect. And constantly squirming slowly.

It is likely that the worm is related to the bone-eating worm found in California. It is also supposed to be a parasite that lives on the bones of specific organisms. Relies on symbiotic bacteria to digest the fat and bone oil that are broken down from bones to survive.

But. The bone-eating worm is found only in the deep sea. And is attached only to the skeleton of the whale. These bugs don't just attach to human bones.

Come to think of it. I felt a wave of nausea. I almost threw up.

It's unclear how the skeleton picked up the skull under the control of the bug. But I don't have the heart to look at it anymore. I just want to get out of here as soon as possible.

Due to eating and drinking a lot. Plus a good night's sleep. My mental state is much better at this time. There is also a certain degree of recovery in physical strength.

Thinking about it, there is a good chance that there will be a long time without food or drink. I wrapped some nuts. I found a container with some fresh water and brought it with me.

That delicious wine though good. But comparatively. I still value my life more. can only cut love. Discard completely. Let it evaporate in the air.

Pack up. I walked towards the stairs. It was decided to take the risk and return to the deck.

On my own. I want to get this giant ship moving. It's almost a dream.

As far as I know, though. In ancient times, because the building ship was too big. It often rolls over due to strong winds. So there will be a dinghy on the ship. In case of the transfer of important people on board.

My goal. It's a small boat that has somewhere on the ship.

In this cabin, I rummaged through and found a relatively thick wooden stick. He pulled out a piece of tattered clothing from his package and wrapped it around the end of the stick. And he doused the wax in those strange lampstands. It was made into a simple torch.

With torches. I had a light in this dark underworld.

I'm eating some nuts. After drinking some fresh water. Find the stairs. Go up to the upper floor.

The planks of the hull are very strong. However, the wooden ladder inside is visibly rotten. I stepped on it. You can clearly feel the loosening of the wooden ladder. You can hear a "creaking and rattling" sound.

I was holding a torch. Walk slowly and cautiously upwards step by step. But to my surprise. I've walked more than a hundred steps. But he never made it to the next level.

This situation is very disturbing to me. After a moment's hesitation. I turned around and walked down.

But I only went down a dozen steps. I went back to this level full of supplies.

I frowned at the folding wooden ladder. Recall the details just now. Beginning to suspect that the hundred or so stairs I had just walked were just my delusion.

Anyway. There must be something quirky about this building ship.

I went into the cabin and grabbed a handful of nuts. I checked the number. There are more than thirty grains.

And then. I went back to the stairs again. Begin to walk cautiously upwards with the torch.

This time. I go up every staircase. Just place a nut on the side. Count as you go.

But. When I finished putting more than thirty nuts. But I didn't even see the exit from the upper floor.

I panicked a little at this point. I even began to suspect that I had encountered an alternative ghost hitting the wall.

Ghost hitting the wall is actually a superstitious saying. It refers to a person being infested with ghosts. Always stuck in one place and unable to leave.

And actually. This phenomenon can be explained by science.

The strength of the left and right feet of a person is different. The size of the steps taken is also different. This leads to the person when walking. I always walk in circles unconsciously. Every distance you walk will naturally return to the starting point.

But. I'm going up the stairs. In any case, there should be no such scientific inexplicability.

I'm very, very particular about the traditional rules when I'm inverted. But I don't believe in ghosts. I've always believed that all my weird encounters can be explained.

I counted the steps and continued upward. I walked more than twenty steps. But there is still no way out.

This time. I panicked a little. Don't dare to continue to go up rashly. Turning around again and walking back.

But. I had just gone down a dozen steps. I haven't seen any of the nuts left behind. It's back to the same level as before.

Wrong. Where did the nuts I put down to mark them?

The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. It was decided to move on.

Just walked down a few flights of steps. I saw the nuts that I had put down to mark earlier. He was lying quietly on the edge of the stairs.

I lowered my head in a panic and picked them up one by one. Walk down the stairs. The brain is spinning rapidly. I want to think about what happened to me. But the more I thought about it, the more confused I felt.

When I picked up all the thirty or so nuts. I found out that I had reached the second floor of the ship.

As I understand it. There will be three floors below the deck of the building. Except for the lowest layer of sand and gravel to increase the weight of the ship. The other two floors are mainly loaded with military supplies. In order to ensure the food, clothing, and shelter of the officers and men on board.

But. The lower two floors of this ship are obviously different from the previous one. Empty. Nothing.

No. Nor can it be said that there is nothing.

By the light of the torches. I could see vaguely in the middle of an open field. There is a coffin. He was lying there quietly.
