Both Takakawa and the captain understood that they were in a big trouble, and although they weren't sure what kind of trouble it would be, they would definitely kill a lot of people. Even so, there is no room for panic, and it is 100% expected to be like this. However, at first no one was sure when and how such a big trouble would occur - everyone understood that it must have come suddenly.

When the new Titanic was rebuilt, it had considered all kinds of bad situations as much as possible, and people needed it to arrive and sail in the ocean to Australia, which is also the mission why it exists in this world, and every part of it is designed for this mission. The captain didn't know what was going on on the ship, but he had reason to believe that even if he was in trouble and couldn't control the ship, the specially designed autopilot system would keep the ship from stray too far from its route to Australia.

You have to have faith in yourself. He thought that things would not change according to his own volition, so it was better to have faith than no faith, and it would be great if he could pass that confidence on so that others could lift their minds.

"We have to believe in something to be able to make sure we are in good spirits." The captain said to Takakawa, "So, trust me and the others, trust this ship and the people who built it, trust the people who made the plans. ”

"Of course. We have nothing but blind and foolish trust. Takakawa said calmly, "Now, let's go out and have a look." ”

The captain counted his belongings, and Takakawa checked the contents of the room. The soft light that leaked in through the crack in the door, and the figure that stood out because of the presence of the light, made people feel creepy. Obviously they don't create a more threatening situation, but the existence of these things really makes it impossible to imagine that they can be harmless. And the scary part is that you think they are dangerous, terrifying, and harmful, but you can't infer how they will hurt you.

The strange and hideous aura floated with his breath, letting what he saw. It's like the outline of the devil, even if it's light.

Every minute and every second, the surrounding light seemed to be dimming, and when I came back to my senses, the lights in the room had gone out for some time, but I didn't fall into a situation where I couldn't see my fingers. The soft light outside the crack in the door became the only light, as if calling the people in the room.

"How long has it been?" On Takakawa's retina screen, only ten seconds have passed since the chronograph number passed. But. The change of circumstances made him feel that the actual time that had passed was longer than the time of the time and the time he felt - there was an inexplicable power that stole his own time, and he was not sure whether he had lost the memory of the time that had been stolen.

His last memory was when he said the phrase "Let's go out and have a look" and then took a little inventory of things in the room.

The captain's expression was also a little dazed, and he seemed to realize it. The change of my own feeling and the room, there is a lot of inconsistencies. However, I didn't notice it at all until I was reminded. He looked at the wall clock, which was rusty, and the hands and pendulum had stopped completely.

"I don't know, the clock is dead." The captain suppressed the sharp beating of the heart with deep breaths. "I've had a similar experience, and what happens at this time is usually something like an evil spirit. Under normal circumstances, they are not able to directly cause harm to our physical bodies, but. But it confuses our consciousness. He lifted his coat, took out a few crosses from his inner pocket, handed one to Gao Chuan, and said, "Some small items have saved some of my strength, so let's use them as amulets." ”

"What are your abilities?" Takakawa took it and put it in his breast pocket.

"I have eliminated the negative factors that I have specified, but I am not sure if I can get rid of all the negative factors." The captain said: "Among the negative factors that have been verified so far, as long as they are specified, even bad luck can be expelled, of course, it cannot be too strong bad luck. ”

"Is there a clear standard for strength?" Gao Chuan couldn't help but ask.

"No, anyway, for so long, what can be expelled will be directly expelled, and what can't be expelled can't be expelled anyway." The captain said: "I have never been able to find a benchmark. ”

"Intuition doesn't work either?" Takakawa asked.

"No, I can't. I think it's very strong, and sometimes it's easy to get rid of. And what I think is weak is probably not of any use. The captain seemed to recall some bad things, and his face turned a little blue, "The environment and specific goals for which this ability is aimed cannot be quantified. Then again, how do you define whether a mysterious thing is strong or not? They are mysterious precisely because we don't know anything about them. Anything that we don't know about is something that can't be directly quantified. ”

"Makes sense. However, your abilities will at least keep us from encountering all the weirdness that has happened, right? "Takakawa has already understood.

"Yes, I can make the trouble less, not let it go away completely. Actually, I think that's why I became the captain of this ship. The captain nodded.

Gao Chuan actually doesn't need to talk about the same thing repeatedly, there are many things that he thinks are nonsense, but it is precisely in such a strange environment that even if he talks nonsense, he must maintain a certain frequency of communication as much as possible. Many experiences in the past have shown that even meaningless conversations are an excellent way to ensure that the mental state is maintained at a normal level.

Takakawa's retinal screen contains a hard brain assessment of the captain's mental state, and although the captain claims to have the ability to drive away negative factors, his mental state has not been good since he entered the room. However, after the conversation, it has gradually stabilized.

Only then did Takakawa push the door open - but when he pushed it open, the door became completely destroyed, completely detached from the door frame, and was held in Takakawa's hand, as if this was the real situation. The damage was as distorted as the door of the room when the captain entered.

Seemingly hallucinatory. It doesn't seem to be a hallucination anymore.

Gao Chuan threw away the door, and the sound of clanging reflected along the aisle, and after going deeper, it seemed to hit something, and a wave of responses seemed to roll back towards the two of them along the passage. The captain only felt a buzzing in his ears. It made me dizzy and dizzy, and I wanted to vomit.

The situation outside the door, as the captain said, seems to have not changed much, but in fact it has changed dramatically. Takakawa's retina screen showed a map of the ship's interior under normal conditions, found where he was, and compared it to the current scene, he had already identified at least ten rooms that had completely disappeared, as if they had never been built.

So, what about the people who originally lived in these rooms? What happened to them? Or rather. If they are still alive, then what is the situation of the two of them in their eyes?

"Have you been to her room?" Takakawa asked. She was naturally referring to female officers - and only then did Takakawa realize that he never seemed to ask for the other person's name, even during the most intimate period. It seemed a little abnormal, I didn't think it was at the time. But in retrospect, rather. When you have to be aware, you will feel that something is not normal.

Takakawa wasn't sure if it was the female officer's ability to walk with consciousness that caused this situation, or if some kind of malicious force had already permeated the ship, imperceptibly influencing everyone, including himself. If it's the former, then there's nothing to worry about. But if it is the latter, it will undoubtedly make the situation more serious than expected.

"She, oh, you mean...... She. The captain frowned and thought for a moment, and asked, "What is that woman's name?" ”

"You don't know?" Takakawa said though. However, there was no surprise in the tone. The captain immediately understood that this Mr. Takakawa was the same as himself.

"It seems that the woman kept her information tight." The captain shrugged, "Prudent enough, I hope that caution will save her life." Mr. Takakawa, what do you think will happen to those who are controlled by her if she dies? Because of some things in the past, I had to think about the worst-case scenario. ”

"We have to trust her, don't we?" Gao Chuan didn't answer directly, that's what he said.

"You're really big-hearted." How much ridicule was included in the captain's words, only he understood it, at least, most of the time, his attitude towards Takakawa was full of respect.

In this way, the two of them kept talking and talking, and at the same time proceeded in the direction indicated by the captain. The female officer's room was at the stern of the big ship, a slightly remote place, and the captain said that it was the room she had deliberately chosen, and from this choice, she felt that she was a little unsociable, but now, I only felt that it should be described as gloomy.

No matter how much the captain's feelings are subjective, it is true that the closer to the female officer's room is, the more eerie the surrounding environment is. The material, light color, contour and taste have not changed in the slightest bit in the quantitative data in the retina screen. But it seems to be covered with an invisible skin, which makes people feel very depressed.

Until this time, there was still no sudden monster jumping out to attack the two.

Although Gao Chuan and the captain did not encounter a clear enemy, such an environment still inevitably breeds all kinds of negative emotions, Gao Chuan used his brain and hardware to forcibly regulate his physiology and emotions, and was not affected too deeply, but the captain's voice, which was originally full of tension, has gradually weakened, and he is a little trembling. His ability to drive away the negativity didn't seem to help him, and his mental state was visibly weakened by Takakawa's continued observation. He himself didn't seem to realize that when he was speaking, the decadent tone could not be concealed in any way.

Gao Chuan suddenly knocked the wall, and the powerful metal crash sound was like a wake-up bell, making the captain stand up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He looked vigilant, looked at Gao Chuan in a daze, and realized after a while that his state had become very strange.

"I ...... I'm fine......" said the captain, but in a reluctantly tone.

Gao Chuan just looked at him in silence, and after a while, he heard him say, "I'm sorry, I may not be able to go on." My abilities have no effect here. ”

"If you act alone, is there no problem?" Takakawa asked.

"I can't say it's okay, but that's the way it can be." The captain seemed to let go of a stone in his heart, and his spirit was slightly lifted, "And if you go your separate ways, you may be able to find others faster." ”

Takakawa didn't refuse, and the captain's state was always on the retina screen, depicting it in a quantitative way. He even felt that he knew his condition better than he did.

After consulting Takakawa's opinion, the captain flew away from this passage area, as if some invisible monster was chasing him. Just as his figure left the field of vision of the naked eye, the chain judgment suddenly lost his trace. The surroundings, which had become quiet again, suddenly produced an even greater sense of loneliness, like a stormy wave, squeezing towards Takakawa's heart.

Is it a completely spiritual attack? Gao Chuan couldn't help but think that although there was no substantial attack, even if a person did not have physical damage, a mental breakdown was enough to choke. This kind of psychic attack is very similar to the attack carried out by the consciousness walker who sneaks into the consciousness world, but it is not exactly the same, the consciousness walker's attack, no matter how strong the will of the attacked, may fall, and this kind of mental attack will gradually eliminate its effect as the strength of the will increases. From this point of view, the captain's inner will is not as strong as it seems. His resistance is almost always derived from the effects of his mystical powers, rather than being exercised to a corresponding extent.

So, when he can't rely on his ability to drive away the negativity, he becomes a little more vulnerable than the other occultists.

However, it is precisely because the captain is such a person that Takakawa has more confidence in the special automatic navigation system - when choosing a captain who is unreliable in a certain situation, it is naturally necessary to compensate for this weakness in other aspects.

For Takakawa himself, the impact of this mental attack may be the smallest of all the people here.

Takakawa calmly and indifferently turned around and walked forward. (To be continued.) )
