Chapter 6: There is only one possibility
"What? What do you mean? What did we overlook? β
Hu Kai's words obviously aroused Tingting's curiosity.
"Look," Hu Kai, who was lying on the bed, explained to the little girl beside him, "First of all, there is no emergency evacuation diagram on the cruise ship, which is very incomprehensible. Not only is there no general diagram, but there is not even a hierarchical structural diagram. β
"Wow!" Tingting stuck out her tongue, "I never thought of it!" How did you notice this? β
"Get used to it!" Hu Kai replied with a slight smugness, "Don't forget, I'm a gold medal tour guide, and I usually have to know where I go." It is my habit to look at the schematic map of the scenic spot. β
"Oh, but does the schematic have anything to do with us?"
"It has so much to do with it!" Hu Kai explained, "If you think about it, if you can't see the schematic diagram of the cruise ship, we can't understand the structure of the entire cruise ship." I don't know what this ship looks like! β
"Hmm...... However, when we got on the boat, we got the brochure ......"
"That's just a list of all the fun things to do on the cruise! You don't know where the engine room is, where the main power switch is, where there is an emergency access, where there is a reserve warehouse, etc. β
"Won't you...... How can this be? β
"Don't you get it yet?" Hu Kai said mysteriously, "Don't you think that someone deliberately didn't want us to know?" Does anyone want us to know too much about the construction of this ship?
"Otherwise, why is it that after the suspension of sailing, everyone else is fine, but those who know about the crew of the cruise ship, as well as some leaders, are missing? Isn't that suspicious? β
"Wow? Don't scare me! Tingting unconsciously hugged Hu Kai's arm and asked carefully, "But why did they go to great lengths to not let us know about the ship?" β
"yes, why?" Hu Kai sold a pass and said, "So, these days, in addition to looking around for food, I have also surveyed the general structure of the cruise ship, and guess what?" β
"How...... How to ......" This time, Tingting was really scared and almost fell into Hu Kai's arms.
"This ship is far bigger and more complicated than I imagined!" Hu Kai said, "The entire seventh floor of the cruise ship, except for the deck, is completely enclosed, and the elevator and stairs are not passable. With such a large space, I really don't know what's in it?
"Also, the 15 presidential suites mentioned in the brochure, I searched the whole ship and couldn't find them. In addition, there are also many mysterious enclosed spaces in the bow and stern of the ship, as well as some underground floors, which are also inaccessible.
"Wow! If that's the case," Tingting guessed with her brain, "will those missing people be on the ship, but we can't find them!?" β
"It's very likely!" Hu Kai continued, "Maybe it's because of my profession, when I got on the boat, I also found another obvious problem. β
"What's the problem?"
"The number of people is wrong!" "I'm very sensitive to the number of people, the brochure says that the ship can carry 2,200 passengers, and if you count more than 800 service personnel, you can carry more than 3,000 people."
"However, I feel that there shouldn't be so many, it seems that there are only 2,000 people."
"1000 less? This...... What does that mean? β
"There is a cause and an effect," Hu Kai replied, "just because the cruise ship is enclosed in a lot of space, so it can't accommodate so many tourists!" β
"Oh......" Tingting pursed her lips after realizing something, "Among the 2,000 people, there is me and my mother!" Whining...... It's really unlucky, it's all my fault, I have to pester my mother! β
"It's no wonder you, who would have known that such a strange thing could happen on a cruise ship?" Hu opened his mouth to comfort Tingting, but he was actually comforting himself. This is a ticket, but he worked so hard to get it.
After a moment's silence, Hu Kai continued to tell Tingting about his discovery.
"In addition to the above two points, there is another detail, which must not be ignored!" Hu Kai said, "Did you find out that after the suspension of sailing, our ship never moved again?" β
"This ...... Do you use it? β
"I mean, the boat is parked so weirdly!" The more Hu Kai talked, the more mysterious it became, causing the little girl to hug him tightly again.
"Weird...... Weird? β
"Yes!" Hu Kai nodded and said, "I can't think of a more appropriate word!" You see, when the cruise ship is suspended, no matter day or night, there is not even a plane in people's sight, which seems too unreasonable! β
"You mean, we've strayed from the course?"
"It's not!" Hu Kai shook his head, "We are in the Sea of Japan now, and there should be an endless stream of passenger planes flying from the Japanese mainland to Central Asia or Europe." But we haven't seen any of them, isn't it strange?
"Also, don't you think the sea is too calm?
"For 13 days, I didn't even shoot a wave four or five meters high, isn't this abnormal?
"You know, it's a rainy summer, 13 days, not to mention rain, not even cloudy days, how can this be explained?"
"Oh...... That's what you say! Tingting also thought about it, so she asked, "But what does this mean?" Is our ship in Bermuda? β
"If I knew, wouldn't I become an immortal?" Hu Kai was helpless, "Among all the doubts, this point is the most inexplicable, which seems to be beyond our understanding, just like those metal plates that suddenly appeared and can be used to power people." β
"Sheet metal?" Tingting thought for a while and said, "Mr. Hu, if you think about it with your way of thinking, I seem to understand that the current on the metal plate should be the same as the first point you explained, in fact, someone doesn't want us to enter some places on the cruise ship!" β
"Clever!" Hu Kai praised him, saying, "However, if you go a little deeper, you will make new discoveries." β
"And?"
"The metal plate is finely workmanship and extremely elegant; The current released is just enough to stun a person, but it is not fatal and does not short-circuit.
"It's not an easy thing to do, it needs to be remodeled from the inside of the cruise ship, and it's definitely a big project!"
"Wouldn't it? You don't think that the ship was still in the shipyard and had already built those electrified metal plates? The more Tingting guessed, the more frightened she became, "Could it be that all this was designed earlier?" We've all been calculated? β
"Humph!" Hu Kai snorted and said in a deep voice, "Based on the above points, I think that if we hadn't encountered aliens, there would only be one way leftβpossibility!" β
