Chapter 222: The Ghost Ship

Fang Shi and Anna went to the A floor of the supply ship, which is the large warehouse of the supply ship, and everything from frozen food to reconnaissance aircraft parts are stored on the A floor, which is also the meaning of the supply ship. Dolly led the group to the B floor, which is responsible for the operation of the ship such as the engine room, and also contains the crew quarters.

Open the warehouse, the things in the warehouse are placed very neatly, the warehouse area is very large, and the things are piled up, Anna suggested looking for them separately, Fang Shi objected: "It can't be separated, there must be a problem with the supply ship, I don't know if the problem is still on the ship." ”

Anna nodded, continued her search, and said, "Of the three of Ai Zhi and the two Ability, two of them are gifted Ability, especially Love Finger, who is forty-two years old this year and has considerable strength. He once challenged the ring of the Martial God, and although he lost in the end, his strength was good in terms of scene and time. ”

Fang Shi said: "Have you noticed that the lifeboats equipped with the supply ship, the landing dinghy and other equipment are all there." ”

Anna said: "That means that it is impossible for ten ordinary crew members to leave the supply ship. ”

Dolly's voice came over the radio: "Did you find anything?"

Fang Shi replied: "I didn't find it, what's the situation on your side?"

Dory: "No one was found, and nothing unusual was found. ”

Fang Shi said: "Where's the restaurant?"

"The restaurant is on the ground floor, and after a cursory look, I didn't find it. ”

Fang Shidao: "I don't think we should be looking for someone now, we should be looking for an abnormality." ”

"Yes. Dolly said, "Let's go back to the deck." ”

On the deck, the seven men carefully searched the empty deck, Dolly: "It rained, yesterday or this morning. ”

"Well, it's raining heavily. Fang Shi said: "I'll go to the sea to have a look." ”

Dolly replied, Fang Shi entered the sea, Dolly continued to search and think in her heart, ten ordinary crew members change shifts for 12 hours, and under normal circumstances, each time period, the crew is in different positions on the hull. However, due to the Conquest's absence, supply ships do not need to provide supplies, such as the storekeeper, who does not have to stay in the warehouse. Modern vessels do not require careful inspections and will react to the cockpit whenever there is a fault.

Dolly guessed that most people should be in the dormitory, on the deck, in the dining hall on the first floor. I am not sure when the accident happened, and it is difficult to judge the situation at that time.

Just thinking about it, Fang Shi returned to the boat, stood on the side of the boat, and said, "Come with me to the sea to have a look." "The sea here is not deep, only about 100 meters.

Dolly and the two Strangers followed Fang Shi to the sea, the bottom of the sea was very calm, and soon they saw a torn seafarer's uniform, everyone searched for a while, and one of the Strangers picked up a necklace to signal, everyone surfaced to sleep, and the Stranger handed the necklace: "Yes...... Necklace of love fingers. ”

Love finger is dressed with the characteristics of a nouveau riche, the most conspicuous is a large thick gold chain hanging around the neck, Dolly took the necklace and found that the necklace was not broken, it was still a circle. According to Dolly's knowledge, Finger of Love cannot remove the necklace without taking it off. Although Dolly didn't want to admit it, she still said, "Aizhi's head may have been cut off, why is there no body?"

Fang Shi said: "The corpse sinks first and then floats, and it will float far away because of the ocean current. Secondly, carcasses are a favorite food for large fish. Ten days, right? We've been away for ten days, not to mention ten days, even if it's one day, we may not be able to find the body. ”

One of the Adepts said, "If they are killed, there must be blood on the ship......"

Dolly agreed: "Contact the Conquest and ask someone to come and collect rainwater, sewers, etc., and see if you can find traces of human blood." ”

None of them had a discussion about who had attacked the supply ship, and none of them was willing to accept the fact that all the people on the supply ship had been killed.

The ship was moored, and the conquest seafarers entered the supply ship, collecting samples on the one hand, taking over the supply ship on the other, and more importantly, searching for the supply ship in a carpet manner.

With so many people, the ships are equipped with similar police and gendarmerie departments, and with the help of scientists, investigators have found a lot of clues.

The next day, the Conquest held a meeting, attended by Gamble and Fang Shi, and at the meeting, Dolly explained the situation: "Don't talk about the process, let's talk about the conclusion." Conclusion: During dinner or lunchtime, everyone was attacked after eating food in the restaurant. The attackers were at least two and were strong. At the same time, inhuman behavior is not excluded. After killing the Anomalous, they drove the crew to the deck and executed them, and finally threw the bodies into the sea. ”

Dolly: "Based on the clues, we suspect that an acquaintance committed the crime. Love refers to the strength of the good, but if there is resistance, traces of his resistance will definitely be found. It is likely that the love finger was attacked suddenly. ”

"At least two?" Fang Shi asked. He was concerned that this issue had something to do with yellow leaves.

"Yes. Dolly replied affirmatively, "At least two." ”

It can't be Huang Ye, except for himself, Huang Ye doesn't seem to have cooperated with others. There are only five Guardian Knights in this area...... Also, it's Tang'er......

Dolly seems to have thought of this: "Three Adevors are missing, one is an Edward, one is a Pinocchio, and one is a ......"

Dolly paused deliberately: "There is also a strange person from the Donnell family, named Tang Si. "Everyone is used to the names of the Donnell family, this is not because of the hypocrisy of the Donnell family, but because Tang Si, Tang San, and Tang Er are all nicknames. When they get used to it, they become daimyos, and that's what they call themselves when they introduce themselves.

Tang Zhi asked rhetorically, "Commander, what do you mean by this?"

Dolly said, "I don't mean anything else, I know more about other abilities." But I'm relatively new to Tang Si, can you please introduce me?"

How is it possible? Tang pointed out: "There are four branches of the Donnay family, and the current patriarch is the third branch. Tang Si is a member of the branch of the second sect. Air Blade talent. "The so-called air blade talent is the ability to condense mental power into a sharp weapon, which is different from the telekinetic sword, although the telekinetic sword is also telekinetic condensation, but the size will not change, and changing the size will cause its own combat effectiveness to decrease. The simple understanding of the air blade talent is that it can emit sword qi with a lethal power of more than ten meters, unless you open your eyes, the gas emitted by the master is formless and colorless, and the killing is in the shadowless. There are many branches of the air blade talent, the rotating air blade cuts like a chainsaw, and the straight cut air blade flies in a straight line like the tip of a sword. The air blade talent is a relatively common talent with relatively strong combat effectiveness.

Fang Shi interjected: "Dolly, first of all, there is a question, why do you want to kill the people on the supply ship? In order to kill the five guardian knights, then the ship should be sunk, if the supply ship is sunk, even the Conquest will be in danger." "The Conquest has a crew of several hundred and needs a lot of supplies. Once the supply ship is sunk, it will have to rush back to the Phi Phi Islands.

This is also where Dolly is confused, after she understands the details, she thinks that it is very likely that Tang Er and Tang Si will join forces to kill people. But for what purpose?

Fang Shi asked, "Have you made contact with the five guardian knights?"

Dolly replied, "Can't be contacted." "This is the hardest part, according to Dolly's plan, after returning here, resupply the Conquest, and then consider that the Conquest will return first, leaving ten Abilities and Supply Ships to wait for the five Guardian Knights to return, and once the deadline is exceeded, the Supply Ship will return on its own. This line is not dangerous. But now she doesn't know what to do, looking at the attitude of the Poseidon, she is like an arrow, and she doesn't want to stay here for too long.

According to the Poseidon, Huang Ye and Tang Er will wait for the ship near Tofu Island and return to the Phi Phi Islands together, and Dolly now hopes to see these two people the most.

Fang Shi, on behalf of the Poseidon, was bound to speak: "Dolly, it is difficult to find the murderer now, and all kinds of suspicions are possible. We're more concerned about what the Conquest does next. ”

Dolly said helplessly: "Please give the Poseidon two more days, and we will collect some clues as much as possible before making a decision...... In addition, we have made an appointment with the Guardian Knights that if the Guardian Knights do not explore well, they will return to the supply ship or wait for us to return to the island. I would like to ask you to enter the windless land and take a trip to that island to see if you can find anything. Now only you can get in and out of the windless land. ”

Gamble spoke: "Now there is obviously a strong enemy, and in the case of unclear circumstances, I do not agree to let Fang Shi enter the windless land again." Well, I'll give the Conquest three days, and after three days, the Poseidon must return. ”

Dolly said, "Five days." ”

Considering the loss of the four major families this time, Gan Bo asked to look at Fang Shi, and finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, five days." ”

Fang Shi said: "In the next five days, I will search the nearby sea area to see if there are any new discoveries." ”

Dolly nodded, "I'm sorry for you." "Feeling powerless, five strangers died in the windless land before, and I can still say that in the past, at least I know the cause of death. But the loss of a dozen people this time is inexplicable. Unable to contact the five Guardian Knights......

......

Returning to the Poseidon and talking about the matter, Zhang Ming frowned, and he couldn't guess a reasonable explanation based on his brain: "In my opinion, both Tang Er and Huang Ye lack the motive to kill. Especially Huang Ye, even if he killed someone, he wouldn't spend time and energy throwing a dozen corpses into the sea, and some of the corpses were still separated. Yellow leaves, I think it can be ruled out. Dolly suspects that Tang Er, in fact, is possible, and logically does not make sense. Tang Er's attack on the supply ship must have been to join forces with Tang Si, what was the purpose? At least Tang Si would never be able to appear in front of the world. ”

Zhang Ming said: "If you can know the movements of the guardian knight, maybe you can guess a thing or two...... However, we must be vigilant, the other party killed three abilities without a trace, and there is also a master like Aizhi, so if we sneak attack our Poseidon, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with it. ”

Fang Shi said: "I have never understood why the corpse was thrown into the sea...... Even if the corpse is thrown away, why does the gold chain go to the sea?

Zhang Ming asked: "Do you suspect that the crew jumped into the sea by themselves?"

Fang Shi said: "Although this kind of suspicion logic does not make sense, it is true. There is blood and water on the supply ship, but there is no human tissue, and if you kill and injure, there must be human tissue in the blood. It's also possible that the rain washed everything away, but in terms of cleanliness...... Either the killer had obsessive-compulsive disorder and cleanliness habits, or most of the crew was not killed on board. ”

Zhang Ming said: "This doesn't make sense, even if the ability goes to the sea to meet the attack, ordinary people won't go to the sea, and the boats and lifeboats that go to the sea are all there." ”

After discussing it for a long time, there was no more reliable opinion, and since this was the case, the Poseidon didn't care. The Poseidon strengthened its vigilance, and Ganbo, Zhang Ming, Fang Shi, and Anna took turns to be on duty for 12 hours, activating the monitoring equipment throughout the hull and under the water.

......

Late at night, Fang Shi stood alone on the side of the deck ship, and Shabang, a worker, came back after an hour of rotation and reported: "Master, no souls and ghosts have been found. ”

"Got it. ”

"What is the master worried about?"

Fang Shi responded: "In addition to those of us, there is also a group of people who know the secrets of the Windless Land, or have clear intentions for the Goddess Temple, who are people from the Holy See, and I think the people of the Holy See are likely to be sword riders. She didn't go to the temple of the goddess once or twice. I was suspicious of them at first, but it didn't make sense, if I had been to the Temple of the Goddess and were familiar with the sword riding of the Temple of the Goddess, I should have chosen to enter the windless land near Tofu Island, where Tang Er and Huang Ye disembarked. There are many small islands in that area, and it is definitely better for the Anomaly than for the Atlas. ”

Fang Shi: "I'm also more concerned about the fact that Tekon was framed during the mission to save survivors. ”

Sabang didn't understand: "Why?"

Fang Shi said: "I'm not sure, before Tekon was framed, we were prophesying that the Tower of Babel would be besieged by monsters. I don't want to do much, but I've always had doubts. Prophecy of the Tower of Babel We are attacked by monsters in an organized manner, and when there are still a large number of monsters, the monsters suddenly stop the attack, which must be commanded by intelligent beings. The second suspicion, Luke told me that he met a ghost in broad daylight......"

It was Anna who was on night duty with Fang Shi, after all, Fang Shi and Gamble were the captains and deputy captains, Anna got out of the cockpit, bowed her head and said to Fang Shi on the deck: "News from the Conquest, Luke is back." ”

Half an hour earlier, Luke had suddenly appeared in the waters beside the Conquest, and upon inquiry, it was learned that on the night of the second day after entering the windless land, the five had a split opinion. Luke thinks that they should evacuate, and the others believe that with their strength, although the sea is an obstacle, they have the ability to overcome it.

They towed the boat to the shore, sorted out the supplies, and packed ten large backpacks, mainly food and fresh water. About two days after the five men continued their journey, there was a clear problem with the fresh water supply. Although there is still a lot of fresh water for the time being, if you go deeper, there will be no fresh water available for the return trip.

The search for the designated islands was expanded, and a fresh water source was found on another small island, but the island was further southeast, and there were no islands within thirty nautical miles. As a result of Luke's suggestion, Captain Pu Zhi decided that Luke would go back to the supply ship alone to inform them of the situation, and if possible, he could drive the ship to look for them in the same direction.

Fang Shi said: "I think people think Luke talks too much." ”

"That's the case, Luke guessed that they had traveled about three hundred nautical miles to the southeast. ”

"Three hundred nautical miles? The ship can travel three hundred nautical miles in twelve hours, and they are still far from the temple of the goddess. "At least 300 nautical miles, most likely to the C line. And that's without stray from the direction. Does the sun rise in the east? Not to mention the latitude and longitude, even if it is the same place, the position of the sun rises varies depending on the season. Fang Shi frowned: "Luke has suddenly become so timid, and the other four guardian knights are not from the Pinocchio family. Isn't he worried that the other four have really found the Goddess Temple?"

Anna said, "Perhaps wisely, none of the five had experience in this area, and Luke saw this, and he didn't think there was much point in continuing to explore." ”

Fang Shi nodded: "Okay, we'll wait for the decision of the Conquest." ”
