The Obsidian's deck section was limited and self-reliably, and the group quickly completed a search of the entire deck area and found nothing suspicious.

Aside from the fact that what should have been damp and waterlogged is now unusually dry, the Obsidian's deck looks like an ordinary wrecked ship—badly rusted, uneven, and flawed, but not to the point of complete collapse.

And after inspecting the deck area, Duncan decided to go inside the ship's cabin to have a look.

They soon found a door to the cabin.

It was a rusty iron door, embedded in a white wall, the handle of the iron door had rotted badly, the lock had long since been scrapped by the immersion of seawater, and the whole door was firmly closed, apparently unable to be opened by conventional means.

Morris stepped forward to check the state of the door, then gave up the idea of opening the door normally, turned to the others, and said, "Maybe some violent means will have to be used."

"I'll do it," Vanna volunteered to step forward without waiting for the others to speak, "the others stand out a little to keep the debris from hurting."

Shirley, Alice, and the others immediately obediently withdrew far away, but Duncan didn't move much, only moved two steps to the side to prevent his clothes from getting dirty, and watched Vanna's movements curiously—he saw the strong woman come to the big iron door, which was completely rusted, and then ······ I knocked on the door.

Only a short buzzing sound was heard, and a large hole collapsed directly in the middle of the big iron gate, and the solid and heavy steel turned into countless debris scattered and splashed, and the hole was filled with smoke and dust.

Then Vanna reached out and tore at the big hole a few more times, tearing the remaining steel plates off the door frame like tearing paper, and tossing them aside.

Shirley and Ah Dog were stunned when they watched this scene, and they held back for a long time before they broke the silence in unison: "·· …· … Damn, is this a person?"

Of course, Vanna heard Shirley and Dog's voices, turned her head and smiled, "I've been exercising all the time."

The corners of Shirley's mouth twitched obviously, and she muttered quietly, "This TM has nothing to do with exercising."

Duncan was also quite impressed by Vanna's simple and crude solution, but he had seen the beautiful girl warrior's feat of killing the city-state, so he didn't react any further, just looked up at the smoke-filled gate, "What's going on inside?"

Vanna waved her hand, and when the dust had calmed down, she looked inside, and the expression on her face suddenly became strange.

After a few seconds, she stepped back and turned to Duncan, "Inside...... It's still a door."

"Or a door?" Duncan was stunned for a moment, walked over in three or two steps to take a look for himself, and sure enough, he saw another rusty gate standing in front of him, only a few meters away from the one outside.

The space between the two doors, however, was neither a hallway, nor a foyer, nor some kind of specially designed security partition - it was just an empty place, with no fixtures or furnishings in sight, no additional windows, just bare walls, and a ceiling that somehow looked crooked.

「…… I don't know if this is the Obsidian's normal structure," Morris also came over to take a look, shaking his head, "I only knew about the ship before, but I didn't see it myself."

Duncan frowned slightly, and quickly nodded to Vanna, "Open that door."

Vanna immediately stepped forward and smashed the second door inside according to the law, then looked inside again, and looked back in shock: "Inside······ It's still a door."

"And?!" This time, even Shirley was surprised, she didn't care about any safe distance, so she led Ah Gou and came over, "I'll go... … Really?!"

Inside the second door is the third door, and it is exactly the same structure, exactly the same strange "compartment".

If there was only a second gate, it could be explained by the "special design of the Obsidian", but now there is a "third gate" that has no effect at all, and it has a strange feeling... This makes it difficult to say that the design concept of this ship is relatively advanced

Derived.

"There's something wrong with the structure of this ship," Duncan looked back at the two doors in front of him, his expression slightly serious, "It's not supposed to be this kind of design... … Vanna, open this door too."

"Okay." Vanna didn't hesitate,

She slammed her fist into the third door, but this time she stopped with a big hole, and didn't continue to clean the remaining steel plates from the door frame, because she could see inside the door through the hole.

"Ship...... Length," she said with a somewhat uncomfortable salutation, her expression becoming more strange than before, "There's a wall inside."

"Wall?!" Duncan's eyes twitched, and he glanced into the big hole, and sure enough, he saw the "wall" that Vanna was talking about.

There was literally only one wall on the opposite side of the door, and it was less than half a meter away from the third door - almost next to each other, the space between the door and the wall was meaningless, and nothing could fit in.

"How is this ship designed like this?" Nina muttered in confusion, "There's only one wall behind the three gates...... And what about the cabin? Where do you get into the cabin?"

Duncan didn't speak, he just quietly looked at the strangely structured "overlapping area", his eyes thoughtful, as if he had thought of something.

After a moment, he nodded to Vanna, "Keep opening the hole."

Vanna stepped forward, kicking away the obstructive remnants of the lower half of the third door, and then slammed her fist into the strange wall—a cavity larger than the previous one, followed by a loud roar.

"It's a hallway." Vanna glanced inside, then turned to the others.

"Great," Shirley breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally a little normal," Fanna said without waiting for Shirley's voice to fall, "the ceiling is underfoot, the floor is overhead."

Shirley: "... it."

As Vana had said, there was only one upside-down corridor behind that wall—the same as the previous three duplicate gates—there was no normal structure in the ghost ship's cabin at all!

"The ship is twisted......

Even a knowledgeable scholar like Morris was a little dazed at this point, looking at the corridor structure across the wall in disbelief and muttering to himself, "What twisted the Obsidian into this······

"Alternate thinking," Duncan interrupted the old scholar, "is this really the Obsidian?"

Morris looked up abruptly and looked at Duncan in astonishment, "What do you mean..."

"This is near Frost, and something terrible has happened under the Frosty Depths," Duncan said casually, glancing at Alice, who was looking curiously around, "Remember what Tirion said about the 'Abyss Project,'"

"Remember," Alice immediately nodded, "and a whole bunch of submersibles or something......

"It's enough to remember that,"

Duncan said as he pressed Alice's head, "Don't order it, it's already shaking."

Then he raised his hand and tapped on the wall next to him.

The metal bulkhead made a hollow thumping sound under the knock.

"It's normal on the outside, but it's actually a mess, a botched copy and copy, a misstacked interior - this shouldn't be the real Obsidian, but it's hard to say it's 'the first, Obsidian.'"

Alice didn't know how much she understood, but she just "oh-" and nodded slowly, but Vanna next to her quickly reacted: "But I remember you said before that the submersibles that surfaced in the Abyss Project only had a distortion error in the copying process, and the submersible itself was copied correctly, and you speculated that this error should be limited to humans or organisms..."

"Yes, limited to humans or organisms—at least half a century ago when the Frost Queen was alive," Duncan said slowly, "so it's obviously worse now, replication is no longer limited to Submersible Three, and distortion extends to inorganics...... Whatever is in the frosty depths, it is silent

Fifty years later, it is clear that it has re-entered its activities, and its influence and intensity are far greater than they were half a century ago."

Shirley blinked and listened, everyone on the Lost had heard about the Abyss Project from the captain's mouth, so everyone knew how weird and evil this thing was, which made her subconsciously mutter, "I······ I'm starting to get nervous·····

"To put it another way, the captain is investigating this—I don't think it's us who should be nervous," Dog muttered quietly, "Don't scare yourself, my heart rate is up."

Shirley was stunned: "Dog, do you have a heart?"

"I'm a demon with a heart!"

"Isn't the heart the same thing as the heart, isn't your cavity empty?"

「…… In case, maybe

Something jumping in there."

"Pick it out and see?"

"That's not going to work."

Duncan didn't pay any attention to the increasingly curious muttering around him, he simply speculated about the ghost ship, and focused on the corridor that didn't know where it would lead.

After a moment's thought, he walked towards the big hole that Fanna had blasted out, "Go in and see what is going on."
