Chapter 83: And then there was nothing left

Gu Shiyin mourned for Takeda Masayoshi for two seconds in her heart, and then continued to look for a hiding place.

In the darkness shrouded in mist, the gunman seemed to have vanished out of thin air. Gu Shiyin not only couldn't see the shadow of the other party, but also couldn't hear the sound of footsteps.

A race that has the ability to fly and is even capable of space transfers...... No, these races do not use the backward thermal weapons of humanity.

Sniping from a height? It's not right, my senses are clear, the gunfire is on the deck.

The gunman, as if out of thin air, disappeared from the deck.

……

In the elevator on the ship.

Chen Qiang and the three of them were eagerly descending to the deck.

"Chen Qiang......" Sayoko asked worriedly.

"The opponent has a gun," Chen Qiang said calmly, "we must be careful." ”

Qin Lingxue and Sayoko had two sets of night vision devices in their equipment, but that was to say, at least one of the three would be blind on the deck. There are tactical flashlights, but on the premise of knowing that the opponent has a gun, using the flashlight risks becoming a large target.

"It's best that Xiao Gu can go back by himself." Qin Lingxue said. In this case, Green Delta's standard procedures don't allow the rest of the team to risk going out to pick them up.

"Listen for another five minutes," Chen Qiang grimaced, "if there's no movement, we'll throw a few NPCs...... Oh, and it's a couple of people to go out on deck to observe the situation. ”

……

Gu Shiyin felt lost.

She retreated. Perhaps it would be wise to return to the cabin and join Chen Qiang and the others.

Just as she was making up her mind, a strange voice came to her ears.

【Gu Shiyin Listening Test 16/25 Success】

The direction is the ventilation duct near the side of the cabin.

The beautiful sound of the flute sounded leisurely.

Gu Shiyin's body trembled.

This voice is all too familiar to her......

It was the language of the old people.

Gu Shiyin grew up alone in the pocket dimension, and almost never communicated with her fellow clans except for electronic devices.

The voice in her ears made her extremely kind, but also a little frightened.

It was the first time she had heard a "kindred" calling out to her.

Come on, the voice said.

So, what are you waiting for?

Gu Shiyin froze in place. She didn't know how to reply.

Come here, young friend, the voice said as if it were playing. What are you waiting for? I'm right here.

The emotion in the flute's language was so real that the young old man couldn't help but take two steps over there and stand in front of the vent.

However, just as she reached out with a trembling hand, about to burrow into the vent, her movements suddenly stopped.

A strange thought came to her mind.

"Chen Qiang." She picked up the walkie-talkie again.

"What?"

"Can you hear anything?" She reached for the walkie-talkie into the vent, "Music, talk, or any weird sound......?" ”

The flute language became sharper and brighter than it had just been, closer to a whistle, urging the sound of ancient poetry. At this volume, there is no doubt that it will be transmitted to the other side of the radio.

[Jon Chan listened to the 90/70 test and failed]

"I didn't hear anything, wait a minute, I'm wearing one-sided headphones," Chen Qiang said, "I'll give Xiaoxue and them a listen." ”

Chen Qiang ripped off the headphones and turned them into external amplifiers.

【Haneda Sayoko listening test 23/55 success】

"Nope." Xiaoxue shook her head.

"Just a little wind." Sayoko said.

So Gu Shiyin understood.

Is that really the case?

Ready to re-enter the battle in the posture of the ancient, Gu Shiyin stared at the suspicious vent, slowly retreating step by step.

Uncle Xu.

The person who died in Hiroyuki Imai's room is suspected to be the deceased of Officer Kenhito Uesugi.

And Masayoshi Takeda.

The victims appeared one by one in Gu Shiyin's heart.

An obvious pitfall.

"You have to be careful," Gu Shiyin said, "that thing will use illusions—"

Gu Shiyin suddenly stopped talking. The continuous sound of the flute suddenly disappeared, and she had a very bad feeling.

"Phantom what? Illusion? Chen Qiang's voice on the walkie-talkie was full of anxiety.

The sound sounded in the ears of the ancient poet again, but it was no longer a pleasant flute, but a sharp and twisted, terrifying, mocking and terrifying tone.

“Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!”

“……”

……

This time, Chen Qiang heard the same voice.

"It's ......!"

【Haneda Sayoko Cthulhu Mythos Check 35/15 Failed】

"What's wrong? Why don't you speak? Sayoko asked eagerly.

【??? Attack Check 55/70 Success】

"Don't come here!" Gu Shiyin shouted, the genius ancient man was in incomparable fear, her voice was full of desperate terror, her whole body seemed to be frozen, but her train of thought still did not stop, "Listen, the enemy is-"

[Gu Shiyin dodge check 64/40 failed]

Communication, interruption.

……

[Investigator "Gu Shiyin" is dead]

[The consciousness of the player "Gu Shiyin" will be frozen until the end of the trial]

In front of him was the door to the deck, but Chen Qiang stopped.

Tekeli-li – This sound is the hallmark of Shoguers. The culprit who led to the demise of the Ancients.

Without the right weapons, it is impossible for the three of them together to confront Shogues.

Gu Shiyin's "last words" flashed in Chen Qiang's mind.

"Pull the fire alarm." Chen Qiang did not hesitate.

"What?" Sayoko didn't understand.

"Pull the fire alarm! If it doesn't work, set it on fire yourself, or create some random chaos! The more people on deck, the better, but let's not get closer to the deck first! ”

It doesn't matter if it's a real Shogues or an alien shapeshifter, get enough NPC meat shields ready first!

"Isn't it good to just shout 'killed'......"

"Then a lot of people will choose to lock themselves in their rooms and not come out. Only shouting 'it's on fire' and everyone will find a way to put out the fire - this is the ...... of the inescapable sea ferry! ”

"Found ......"

Qin Lingxue, who had discovered the fire alarm at a glance, climbed onto the box containing the fire extinguisher. She ripped off her coat and spilled the red wine she had brought from her suite, then lit the lighter.

……

Moment.

"I'm sorry," Chen Qiang said to the crowd attracted by the shouts of "deck fire", "the situation was very urgent, and we had to do this in order to scare the murderer away." ”

【Qiang En Chen's Speech Test 33/78 Success】

Most people were looking at Chen Qiang with dissatisfied. They believed Chen Qiang's words, but they shuddered at the thought that the murderer was still lurking nearby, and maybe he had taken advantage of the chaos to blend in with the crowd.

Chen Qiang shuddered similarly: But the source of his fear was not the gunman, but Hughes.

"Quiet," said Forensic Doctor Nikki Renerjee, who took the lead, covering the body of Officer Justice Takeda with a white cloth, "the murderer is around, still hidden in the dark; At this time, the only way to protect your safety is the number of people, if it were you, I am afraid that you would have been killed in a panic. ”

The crowd gradually quieted down.

"I'm sorry," Chen Qiang said, "the situation was urgent, and I couldn't think of a proper way in a hurry." ”

"The enemy is in the dark," Dr. Nikki Renagee sighed, "not to mention that we don't have weapons, and even if we do, it will be for nothing to come one by one, it is better to make things as big as possible and make the gunmen retreat." ”

"Ms. Nikki!" A crew member hurried over, "on the other side of the deck, a strange corpse was found......"

"A strange tree?"

"No...... Someone who looks like a deformed freak. You have a look. ”

Two crew members—who could tell they were struggling to ward off the nausea—carried a corpse on a stretcher. It was a dog-like creature, with rubber-like skin and pointed ears, and most of its head had been cut off by a sharp blade.

"It's Uncle Xu." Chen Qiang instantly understood.
