Chapter 147 Empty Sea Ship
Is it time to leave this empty ghost ship?
Even if there are endless secrets here, it is no longer of Bai Ning's interest, as long as Liu Cheng does not have problems, even if the others are really taken away by the Kraken, it has nothing to do with Bai Ning.
Silently returned to the captain's room, took out the satellite phone, and was just about to dial Uncle Qian's number, Liu Cheng, who was following alongside, suddenly burst out in surprise, and the whole person looked a little panicked.
"Boss, look, what's that?"
Following the prestige, Bai Ning found that the image of the sea hanging on the cabin of the ship was suddenly alive, and between the turbulent currents, a powerful suction force suddenly enveloped him, trying to suck him into it.
Hallucinations?
Having experienced a top-level phantom labyrinth in the Tunguska region, what could be more terrifying than a fantasy built on the level of consciousness?
Is it hypnosis, or is it some kind of psychological suggestion based on the five senses?
Just as he was in doubt, the previous 3D three-dimensional surround singing voice sounded again, and the inexplicable singing voice from small to large continued to erode Bai Ning's remaining reason.
In the corner of his eye, Liu Cheng seemed to have been completely lost in the hallucination, and was walking towards the chart step by step.
Faced with this critical moment, Bai Ning kicked Liu Cheng's body violently, and then picked up the good wine provided by the captain and smashed it at the chart that seemed to be able to devour everything.
Liu Cheng fell unconscious to the ground, and the wine bottle suddenly exploded on the chart, and the splashed wine suddenly vaporized, turning into a ball of flames that swallowed up all the nearby space.
In this real heat wave, Bai Ning subconsciously wanted to dodge, but found that there was nowhere to hide.
The blue flames were like a fire dragon about to burn everything, knowing that all this was just an illusion, Bai Ning still lifted his coat to protect his face.
A sea of flames raged around Bai Ning, and Bai Ning felt as if he was about to be reduced to ashes here.
After three or four seconds of hard work, the space around me suddenly cooled, as if the sea breeze on a summer night caressed it, taking away the little heat left.
Glancing around through the gap in his clothes, nothing had been destroyed in the captain's cabin except for a broken wine bottle.
But just a hallucination of a dozen seconds?
However, how can a collective hallucination that only lasts for a dozen seconds make a ship full of people disappear?
Approaching the alcohol-soaked chart on the wall, I tapped it with my finger, and there seemed to be a cavity in the back.
Unloading the chart, the metal door of a safe was presented in front of Bai Ning, and he thought it was a dark room, but he didn't expect it to be just a safe.
Bai Ning did not think that the anomaly that had appeared in the previous charts was just a coincidence, and there must have been some primitive triggers in this safe.
In order to prevent accidents, Bai Ning woke up Liu Cheng first, and then took him to the engine room quickly to pick up the equipment.
A short time later, amid the sharp grinding sound of the angle grinder, the safe was successfully opened.
The contents of the safe were very simple, only a few documents and cash, and the expected strange items did not appear.
Not in the safe?
Liu Cheng on the side watched it for a long time, pretended to rummage through the documents a few times, and was ready to put tens of thousands of yuan in his pocket.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ning reached out and quickly slapped his claws off, and failed to be greedy for money, Liu Cheng could only laugh twice to hide his embarrassment.
I picked up one of the coins and looked at it twice, but I couldn't see anything unusual except for the new characteristics.
Isn't it a little trick based on greed?
There was still some reluctance in his heart, so he broke up all the money and spread it out on the wooden table, making a big puddle of money, which made Liu Cheng, who was itching, muttered a few words in a low voice.
"Even if you've been on the edge of poverty for so many years, you don't seem to be the kind of person who is greedy for money, judging by the overall attitude that you can endure poverty all the time.
However, now you are greedy for these tens of thousands of quick money, don't you think there is any problem? ”
Seeing that the abnormal phenomenon on Liu Cheng's body was getting more and more serious, Bai Ning could only remind him out loud.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Cheng was also stunned, and the feelings of hallucination before appeared one by one, and he instantly felt a chill down his spine.
"I said, how can a person like me who can suffocate his dreams lack this money, it turns out that there is a problem with this money.
However, I don't think this money looks fake, does it? ”
Although Liu Cheng was afraid, his greed for money was not a glorious thing after all, and the embarrassment was still a little embarrassing.
"Greed is one of the basic desires of human beings, and it is also one of the primitive driving forces that support human life.
It's just that man is able to restrain his greed through reason, so that this desire is not manifested.
It can be seen that there must be something in this money, a special medicine that can make people's desires and fears infinitely magnified. ”
After Bai Ning finished speaking, he took out another bottle of the captain's treasured wine and poured it on top of these banknotes, and soon, some of them showed a strange blue luster, as if there were flames constantly beating.
"Damn, there's a problem!
Are these things that induce us to have serious hallucinations?
I still feel a little pain in my lower back, can this thing still give people phantom pain? ”
Seeing that Bai Ning had found out what caused them to fall into hallucinations, Liu Cheng also seemed a little excited, chattering non-stop, as if he had discovered a new continent.
Hallucinations are due to special potions, and the duration of this potion is not too long, and even if you come into contact again, you will not hallucinate again, and will only partially affect people's basic desires.
Judging from the recurrence of hallucinations in the captain's chamber, the interval between the re-application of the potion will be very long.
In other words, during their inspection of the cabin, Bai Ning and Liu Cheng had been in a buffer period of the medicinal effect, and a certain basic desire in the center of this process was infinitely strengthened.
Perhaps, even if they saw the hidden chamber, they would ignore it under the psychological hint of the futility of the whole before.
"Let's go.
Let's go inside the cabin again. ”
Covering their mouths and noses with a cloth wet with alcohol, Bai Ning and Liu Cheng quickly came to the lower deck of the ship, only to see that the situation inside was really very different.
The brightly lit appearance of the memory is gone, and some of the rooms have been in a state of black light.
Obviously, under the hint of the lights, even if some of the cabins are not lit, they will be deliberately ignored.
Turning on the lights of these dark rooms one by one, some rooms leading to other directions were found in them, and the "dark rooms" that were deliberately hidden were discovered, and all the people hidden in them were also discovered.
Roughly counted, the number of people is not bad.
"How is it possible, not bad?"
Liu Cheng also felt very strange about this result, and counted it again, and it was still exactly the same.
In this regard, Bai Ning only pursed his lips and chuckled.
There are two possibilities, either indicating that the person who secretly drugged is not among the known persons, or that the person who drugged is still mixed with the crowd.
In this regard, Bai Ning is more inclined to the second type.
In other words, now the person who secretly drugged still wants to pretend to be a victim and continue to accompany Bai Ning to act.
It's quite a clever move, but there are also a lot of flaws.
First of all, the person who drugged it presupposed that Bai Ning would be able to crack the hallucination elixir and hide himself in the comatose crowd in advance.
This kind of move of seeking defeat before winning is too cautious.
Assuming that his method successfully activated the Imperial Dragon Clan bloodline in Liu Cheng's body, it was very likely that he would lose the opportunity to be the first hand because of this overly cautious move.
Ruling out this possibility, then the rest can only prove that the person is an acquaintance on the ship.
This person secretly hid in the shadows to observe Bai Ning, and when he found that his plan had failed, he returned to the victim pile.
Now, only the captain and his relatives are familiar locals on the entire ship, and the target of suspicion seems to be very cramped.
However, to come to such a conclusion so easily, Bai Ning felt that it was a little impossible.
According to previous experience, the temporary crew members who came up in the second round were members of the mysterious organization in secret, and after a day of familiarization, plus secret drugs, they would also be very familiar with the internal structure of this ship.
In this way, the dangerous people still exist in the temporary crew, and everything is back to square one.
Now, either arrest and torture all the temporary crew members, or continue to fight wits and courage with them.
Looking at the various people who were unconscious on the ground, Bai Ning's eyes were hesitant, and he didn't know how to make a choice for a while.
At this moment, Bai Ning suddenly remembered that there was also a member of the Night Demon Society in their group.
Now, the Daredevil member is among the unconscious as well.
Being drugged and stunned, such a low-level mistake would not seem to have appeared in such a powerful existence as the Night Demon Society.
The fact that a person who is impossible to make a mistake makes the same mistake shows that he simply does not care.
A very subtle mood swing, a completely out-of-the-box theater mentality.
In other words, for the members of the Daredevil Society, their hypnotic power is far superior to that of these mysterious people who can only use secret pills.
Regardless of whose hands it fell on, the Daredevil member would not have been identified at all.
Thinking about this, Bai Ning's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and an even more terrifying possibility suddenly popped up.
Since the drugged mysterious personnel dared to mix in with the unconscious people again, this showed that they wanted to continue to fight with Bai Ning, and it also showed that they were not afraid of Bai Ning torturing the temporary crew at all.
In other words, in this person's presupposition, whether the temporary crew will be disposed of or not has nothing to do with his current status.
So, after turning around, in fact, the only object of suspicion was the captain and his relative.
Very clever game within a game, a subtle layout hidden in logical errors.
From the beginning of the change of crew, this mysterious person has been hiding his identity, making the captain and the young man completely impossible to be suspected.
With this person's cunning thoughts, Bai Ning was willing to believe that he would definitely be close to Liu Cheng, a big fool who only knew how to eat and wait for death, to use the same strategy continuously.
For a person who is not able to discover the truth, the same routine is used once and used a hundred times, and the effect is the same.
After being fooled for so long, didn't you even remember the basic physical characteristics of the other party?
Glancing at Liu Cheng, who was beside him with his head bowed and pondering, Bai Ning suddenly felt that the descendants of the Royal Dragon Clan had some genetic defects.
