It's not just the bell cat that notices the change in the ghost ship.

Night Cat Chill and Goal Double, as well as some players on deck, also saw the scene.

The existence of the ghost ship itself made everyone feel very weird, and they suddenly blinked, it was like a corpse that you thought was dead suddenly sat up from the coffin board, and many people were so frightened that their backs were cold, and they felt a cold air rushing to their skulls.

"Am I mistaken?"

"It's it, it's, it just blinked??"

"What the hell am I ...... Is this ship alive? ”

"It's over, I'm going to be in big trouble now......"

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the night cat Han broke out in a cold sweat, but he was still calm and comforted everyone: "Don't panic, this hole is not necessarily an eye, it may be something else." ”

This is not nonsense, logically speaking, there is an unknown danger hidden on the ship, and this may be the enemy they have been looking for.

"Blinking" may be a sign that the enemy is about to make a move.

The bell cat came back from the fright, quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and hurriedly ordered: "The whole ship has entered a state of alert, everyone, stand at your own posts, if you have any situation, please report to me immediately!" ”

She didn't know what this "wink" meant, and if it was to attack, would it be to attack the people on board or the Emperor?

Lingmao didn't dare to slack off, Gu Chi handed over the Heavenly Emperor to her, if something happened, she would not forgive herself.

"I'll go to the cockpit and hand operate the probe." Scored twice.

Before, this kind of work was done by robots, and this time he wanted to see for himself what the ship was.

"Okay." While agreeing, Lingmao took out the sound transmission stone and the communicator, wanting to inform Gu Chi of this important news in two ways at the same time.

However, blessings are incomparable, disasters are not singular, and at such times, they are usually accompanied by more unexpected situations.

The communicator, which had been kept open, lost its signal at this moment.

In the earpiece was an electronic murmur of "zi-la-la", and the band they were no longer able to search for the band they were using.

The sound transmission stone was lit, but after the voice was recorded, there was no response for a long time.

In an exploration like this, as soon as a message is received, no matter what the content is, it will be answered as soon as possible, so that the person sending the message knows that the message has been delivered in time, and at the same time, it is also to tell the other party that they are safe at the moment, which is one of the most important meanings of staying in touch.

But Gu Chi never returned.

Lingmao didn't know if Gu Chi had heard her message, and was a little anxious for a while.

If that hole is really the eye of the "ghost ship", then their situation will be extremely dangerous.

Worst of all, the danger came too quickly.

Gu Chi and the others had just boarded the ghost ship, and something happened in less than ten minutes, which meant that for at least a few hours, even if Gu Chi and the others didn't receive the news from the Heavenly Emperor, they wouldn't have realized what was wrong, because they wouldn't have been in touch all the time.

"You keep trying to contact them, and I'll check the weapons." Night cat chills.

Regardless of whether or not the news can be sent to Gu Chi's side in the end, they must be prepared to fire at any time.

Unlike the panic and commotion on the Emperor, the ghost ship was much quieter.

As soon as the portal was completed, everyone quickly gathered in the cabin.

The appearance of the ship is similar to what Xia Ling described.

It's very old and decaying, and it's familiar.

The light was very dim, and the cabin with all the lights broken was like a dark night buried underwater, quiet and deep.

As soon as Gu Chi entered the cabin, he saw those facilities that were extremely familiar to him.

This is the reception hall, the bar, tables and chairs, sofas, wine cabinets, as well as chandeliers, carpets, etc., these are all made by Gu Chi himself, and it can be seen at a glance that they are the same as the things on the Emperor, the only difference is the age.

The light of a few flashlights swept over the old environment.

The marble of the bar has lost its luster, the floor is covered in dirt and water stains, the cracked wine cabinets and walls are crawling with mistletoe-like aquatic plants, and the air is filled with a damp rancid smell that is uncomfortable.

"Drained in the cabin?"

The cabin was not flooded, but there were very fine traces of soaking, and if you took a slight step of the footsteps, you could hear the sound of "ticking and ticking" water in many places, and it felt like the hull had been damaged and the cabin was filled with seawater, and then the water was pumped away through the drainage device, and then it was not pumped clean, and finally it became what it is now.

"I thought it was weird when I came here the day before yesterday." Power 39 looked at the tattered ceiling and said, "It looks like it's been wrecked for many years, and it looks like it has just been drained." ”

"I went to the sewage well in the back yesterday to check, and the pipe valves were all rusty, and the normal force could not be twisted, so I tried some strength."

"And then?" Yuyuko asked.

Power 39 was expressionless: "Then I unscrewed the control wheel. ”

Everyone: "......"

It's you.

Gu Chi: "Is there any movement in the drainage device after that?" ”

Power 39: "No. ”

That's why it seems strange.

I don't know how long the ship has been in the sea, and the equipment should have broken down a long time ago, but the sea water dripping from the ceiling and the wet stains on the floor indicate that the drainage system is functioning normally, otherwise the water that dripped in would have flooded the cabin for so many years, and it would not have been just wet.

When you go to the sewage well, you will find that the drainage device is indeed broken, and you don't know if it is bad or not.

There are many contradictions like this on the entire ghost ship, and with the eerie environment that is almost exactly the same as that of the Emperor, these incomprehensible places have become a strange feeling that follows you everywhere.

But fortunately, they did not separate this time.

1,200 people were all together, and when there were many people, they became bolder.

"Regardless of this, let's find someone first." Gu Chi said.

According to the kimchi god of war, it seems that he has not left the ghost ship, and Dr. Chen and the others may still be on the ship.

Lao Li Tou took out the tourist map of the Heavenly Emperor, which marked the area searched by the various teams last time.

The most crowded place is in the living quarters.

The living quarters are also the largest area of the entire ship, taking up almost half of the area.

"Let's start in the cockpit and work our way through." Old Li Tou proposed.

"Okay, pay attention to the people around you, don't be replaced." Gu Chi admonished.

It's the eyeballs that pretend to be the player, but he didn't find any eyeballs, at least not on the reception hall, the enemy is still unknown to them, so they can only be careful, while staring at the people next to him, while looking for missing teammates,

It's a very long process.

The ghost ship was so big that they walked slowly, walking for a full hour to reach the living quarters.

It took more than half a day to re-search the place where the teams searched last time.

But no one was found.

There was no one in the cockpit.

There was no one in the restaurant.

There was no one in the hotel.

There is no one in the freezer either.

Except for themselves, half of the figures were invisible.

Instead, as they descended deeper into the ghost ship, the disgusting rancid stench in the air grew stronger, and the unsettling feeling returned.

Layla endured the discomfort and said, "No, even if there is no one, there should be something left." ”

Where there are people, there will be traces.

Like the simplest footprints.

There are water stains on the floor in many places, and people who step on them will definitely leave shoe prints.

The two times they came to the ghost ship were only a little more than a day apart, and the footprints would not disappear so quickly and naturally.

But the truth is that the ghost ship seems to be welcoming guests for the first time since the wreck, everything is "brand new", and there is no trace of anyone searching for it in the near future.

Xia Ling frowned: "Will we enter the illusion from the beginning?" ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts were tight.

By all indications, the ghost ship today is a brand new compared to the ghost ship the day before yesterday, it seems that nothing has changed, it is still old, it is still decayed, but in fact, as Layla said, there are many details missing from the details they have been there.

There are only two possibilities, either the unknown thing deliberately erased these traces, or the ghost ship in front of you is not the ghost ship of the last time.

Xia Leng closed his eyes and felt it, but he still didn't notice where the enemy was hidden.

"Keep looking." Gu Chi said, "Whether it's an illusion or not, you have to continue looking for it." ”

It's not a fantasy that they want to find teammates and enemies, it's a fantasy they also need to find an "exit".

Gu Chi didn't believe that the thing's ability to hide itself could be perfect enough not to leave the slightest trace, regardless of whether the ghost ship was the Emperor of Heaven or not, since it appeared on the bottom of the sea, there must be clues about the boss or the task, no, they didn't find it,

"But we've searched everywhere we can." Layla said.

"Aren't they on the boat anymore, Dr. Chen?" Lao Li pinched his chin and said, "Unknowingly, I was involved in a secret realm?" ”

"That's not right." "There's a place we haven't found. ”

Lao Li Tou: "Where? ”

"Ballast water tanks." Avereya said.

As someone who had several cruise ships in her family, she knew more about the construction of a ship than everyone present except Gu Chi.

Ballast water tanks are the cabins used to mediate the ship's draft and pitch and trim, usually located above the keel and below the cargo holds, if you think of a cruise ship as a villa, the ballast water tank is the basement of this villa.

The fact that the last time they boarded the ship did not go to the ballast tank, that doesn't mean they won't walk over on their own or be caught.

"Let's go, let's see." Gu Chi walked directly in front to lead the way.

He is most familiar with the structural distribution of the "Heavenly Emperor".

Anyway, in just these places, 700 people, not anywhere can be hidden.

From the living area to the ballast water tank, you have to pass through a circular corridor, which is a very high-tech passage in itself, with holographic starry sky projections embedded in the wall, and the design is inspired by the aisle of the Horizon Hotel.

It's just that the holographic projection on the ghost ship has been down, and it is pitch black, like a cement pipe magnified dozens of times.

There was still water on the soles of his feet.

The further you go in, the more water accumulates, and in the end it reaches your ankles.

The group walked through the passageway, and the sound of splashing water from the trampling was all over their ears.

"It stinks...... Why is it getting smelly and smelly. Xia Ling complained in a low voice, she covered her nose the whole time, and her brows were still furrowed.

She's smart enough to use a flashlight to shine the water under her feet.

Gu Chi also deliberately reminded everyone to pay attention to the front, stay vigilant, and not be distracted.

But Orange Orange, who was at the back of the team, couldn't help but take a look, and found that the water had turned a dirty green at some point, and there was fluffy mold floating on it.

Lao Li Toule said: "I told you not to look at it, out of sight and out of mind." ”

Orange Orange went crazy: "Ahhhh ”

Everyone: "......"

Gu Chi: "If you bear with me, you'll be fine soon." ”

There was already a faint glimmer of light ahead.

Another twenty or thirty meters will be to the ballast water tanks.

But......

"Why is there light?" Power 39 feels a little wrong.

They were a passage on a shipwreck, not a tunnel in a cave.

There is no light source on the ghost ship, and the lights are all broken, but the lights in the ballast tank are good?

"There's a living creature ahead." Xia Leng suddenly said loudly.

She is a sword cultivator, and she has Wu Quxing's mental method as a talent, and her sensitivity of perception is no worse than those top assassins, and even surpasses it.

"Seems like a lot." Yuyuko added.

Everyone behind him didn't need to be reminded, they immediately entered the battle state, staring at the front.

Gu Chi also had an extra heart, but his footsteps did not stop, but instead accelerated and walked forward.

He is not afraid of many enemies, but he is afraid that the other party will not be able to hide.

Lao Li Tou and the others followed, and a shot of sorghum swordsmanship was already pinched in their hands.

But before he could hit it, he was shocked by the next picture that appeared in front of him.

Not only him, but the Kimchi God of War and others were also stunned.

A second ago, everything on the ghost ship had a very high resemblance to the Emperor, and everyone had already tacitly assumed that this was another Emperor, but when they came to the ballast tank, it was a completely different scene from what they imagined.

This is not a ballast water tank at all, but a large pond filled with scarlet blood water!

The blood looked as thick as a swamp, and from it protruded thick tentacles, each covered with palm-sized eyes, embedded in the flesh like pus, glowing with excitement.

At a glance, there were at least a thousand tentacles, wriggling like giant earthworms erected, and most of them had a person stuck to them—it was Dr. Chen and the others who they had been looking for for a long time.

"I'm your uncle...... yue！ "Thousands of tentacles, thousands of dense eyeballs, a paradise player directly saw the physical discomfort, almost vomited.

little broken tour, do all the hell stuff!

But if it's just the underworld, it's not enough to frighten top players such as Lao Li, who has seen strong winds and waves.

It wasn't the tentacles or the eyeballs that really surprised them, but the people on the tentacles.

They all had their eyes closed comfortably and slept peacefully.

Dr. Chan is here.

Yellow buds in.

Some of the missing part-time players, park players, and players from the Sunset Red Guild are also there.

That's fine.

The problem is that there's someone who shouldn't be there too—

Evela!
