Volume 1 The Investigator Chapter 9 The Death of Lauren

In the rusty cabin, all kinds of ship supplies are placed horizontally.

The cogwheel oil lamps hung upside down on the walls around them, shaking the faint light of the fire, and the walls, boxes, sacks, and floors were stained with blood and wet.

The smell of blood took up the entire small space.

Ji Ke. Serge led the selected four people into the cabin, and Leon was among them.

Ji Ke. The reason why Searle brought Leon was simple, Leon was definitely smarter than the illiterate and reckless men on the ship, and in this case, it should come in handy.

The moment he just stepped into the cabin, Leon only felt a chill penetrate his body and pierce into his bones, as if the chill that had been imprisoned for thousands of years was suddenly released, making people tremble at the moment when their brains couldn't think, and the last expression was indirectly frozen by a strange ice.

In addition to the blood seeping people in the cabin, Lauren's death was also extremely horrific.

He hung naked and upside down, a piece of cloth that was not covered, his legs were wrapped around a pair of iron chains, the pitch-black chains were even embedded in his flesh, his hands hung in a pool of blood, his five fingers were half cut into the pool of blood, the bright turban and clothes on his head were neatly stacked aside, there was a conspicuous hole in the head without a turban, the white liquid mixed with the crimson flowed, the whole face was already miserable, a pair of eyes were round and colorless, covered with bloodshots.

Lauren's blood didn't seem to have dried yet, and it was dripping with the chains, smearing with blood.

This was more irritating than the dried corpse he saw when he first woke up, and Leon only felt his stomach tumbling and disgusting, and retched several times in succession.

I can't imagine what happened to Lauren before he died, and in just half an hour, a living person was hung upside down here.

Ji Ke. Searle walked over to the corpse, blood staining his straight boots, but he didn't care, the rabbit-eared cat on his shoulder lay silently, motionless.

"You guys check to see if there's anything unusual in the room, and if you see something strange, you want to tell me as soon as you see it! If you want to die, you can deal with it yourself. ”

"First Officer Jike! There seems to be strange writing on the ceiling. Kumaz was the first to notice the anomaly.

Everyone looked towards the ceiling, and saw a string of blood characters written on it, scribbled strokes, and the blood characters were not the Sena script of the Shavant Kingdom.

"Devout believers await your return."

Leon, who had recovered a little, spoke the meaning of the words and explained to the crowd: "This is the ancient secret language of Ampsine, which I learned when I was writing a survey material. “

As a journalism graduate, I have also studied the ancient scripts of each kingdom, which are rare but also recorded in some texts.

"The god of the sea is on top, worthy of being a top student at Yelim University, the decision I took you down is still correct, Amp Simin? It seems that the strange thing about the landlubber has something to do with the bloodthirsty barbarians, if it were them, I wouldn't think it was strange what happened on the ship, after all, what they believe in is filth, well~ Let me think, who is most likely to be the culprit? "Gico. Serge's tone was as flat as ever, and his gaze swept over the few people present one by one, "There should be no problem with a few of you, okay, let's look around again and see if there are any new clues, good job, Mr. Kumaz and Mr. Leon." “

With that, the rabbit-eared cat on his shoulder took off his gentleman's hat and saluted the two.

The crowd parted and began to look for new clues. I don't know if it's a coincidence, the waves crashed against the hull, and the strong impact caused the hull to jolt again, and Leon, who was just about to lift his feet to look around, found that something was rolling towards him with a grunt.

When you look closely, it's a wine bottle, the same rum bottle that Lauren has been carrying!

The liquid in the bottle has long been muddy and muddy because it is not known whether it is wine or blood.

Leon bent down and reached out to pick up the bottle, his natural curiosity making him desperate to figure out what was going on in this cabin.

The moment he touched the bottle, the air around him seemed to condense, and the whispers in his ears sounded again! Whispering, murmuring...... The entire space began to rotate rapidly, and everything around it was slowly enveloped in black mist, and everyone in the cabin was engulfed in black mist...... The surroundings became familiar and unfamiliar.

Black fog? Destiny Land!

Why did it come in all of a sudden? Just now, I racked my brains and didn't achieve the scene, just because I touched the wine bottle?

His thoughts churned with the black fog around him, and the black smoke in the black fog slowly gathered, and a door made of black smoke stood in front of him.

Without hesitation, he pushed the door and entered, and was greeted by a cloud of black smoke, and a faint light flickered in the black smoke.

Do these points of light represent nodes of fate? No matter, try it first!

Leon, who had already experienced it once, did not hesitate to touch the point of light, the black smoke dispersed, and then the light instantly enlarged, but the dazzling white light was fleeting, the black smoke reunited again, and a human figure gradually appeared in the space, this is a stout man, the shape of the turban is particularly conspicuous, and the rum bottle in his hand is shaking.

Isn't that Lauren? It seems that his conjecture is not wrong, as long as the owner of the item touches it, it is possible to enter the memories of the other party, but it must be more than just touching, and other conditions are required!

Leon put aside his superfluous thoughts for a moment and took a closer look at the picture.

Lauren rummaged through the air for something, and suddenly, he stood up, and there was an extra square piece in his left hand, and judging by his happy reaction, he should have found what he was looking for.

Lauren picked up the thing, looked at it carefully, and said to herself, "I can't imagine that this old Sloper guy actually put things here." ”

At this moment, he seemed to notice something, and suddenly turned to look at the person who came: "Damn, it's you, scare Lao Tzu." ”

Behind Lauren, a figure was formed, and I don't know why people can't see his appearance clearly, but they can only vaguely see his figure, this person is not tall, and his figure can only be said to be ordinary, neither fat nor thin.

The person didn't speak, just waved his right hand, and after a while, Lauren's expression changed instantly, he shouted frantically, and the rum bottle that he regarded as a treasure was also thrown to the ground by him, and a pair of hands were put on his ears, as if he wanted to block something from entering his ears, but the resistance was futile, and after a while, Lauren's hands slowly drooped, and the whole person became sluggish and stood in place.

"Give me something." The voice of the person who came came carried a disgusting bubble sound.

Lauren obediently stretched out his left hand and handed over the things he had just found, and the person who came took the things and just glanced at them: "Okay, your task is complete, my lord thanks Mr. Lauren for his help, now please accept the gift of the Lord!" ”

I saw a wisp of black smoke turn into something wriggling and appear in the hand of the visitor, and the appearance of the thing was like the slender tentacles of a cuttlefish, swaying out of thin air.

"Praise the Lord's gift!" Lauren, whose eyes were glazed, obediently opened her mouth, allowing the tentacles to burrow into his mouth.

As the people dispersed, Lauren turned around slowly, carefully took off his clothes, took off his headscarf and put it aside neatly, and then found a thick iron chain, wrapped his legs, a tentacle broke his head, and the tentacles wrapped around the chain to lift the strong Lauren upside down on the wall, the chain was tightly wrapped around his legs under the urging of the tentacles, and the blood turned into black smoke sprayed out, and the blood sprayed on the ground by the tentacles was raised again, and the tip waved against the ceiling......

The tentacles stopped waving, and at this time, on the floor, a strange large mouth slowly appeared, which was a ring of dense fangs, as hollow as an abyss.

The tentacles on Lauren's head suddenly collapsed, and the liquid turned into black smoke gushed out and fell into the hollow of the ground......
