When I saw the lights start to flicker, I felt like I was electrocuted. For a moment, I didn't even dare to move. The thing I was most worried about happened.
I glanced at the others, all eyes were fixed on the light in my hand. Li Xin’s face turned very bad. From her eyes, I could see the panic. The others It wasn't much better, the atmosphere seemed very strange for a moment, and everyone was probably on tenterhooks.
I glanced at Jiao Ba again. He shook his head gently, indicating that I don’t care, it’s okay. Mai Lao was also very calm. I couldn’t see any fear in his eyes. Some are just plain.
But Li Xin was a little confused at this time, gesturing and asking, 'Why is it like this again? ’
Before I could reply, Mr. Mai gestured, ‘Don’t worry about it and keep walking. ’
When our group was about to start marching to the second floor, suddenly, the lights in other people's hands began to flicker. It was almost the same scene as last time. The lights flashed very hard, very fast, and shook. Human eyes can't stand it.
Since I can’t speak underwater, the scene was a bit chaotic for a while. Li Xin and other sailors were a little confused. They were patrolling back and forth with their spearguns. I was also very nervous. , the flickering of the lights makes me always have an illusion, as if someone will suddenly appear in front of me, and what I am most worried about is that I will see the face of the female corpse again, and I will be tortured by her. Crazy.
When Mr. Mai saw that everyone was a little out of control, he hurriedly swam to the side and pulled the sailors back one by one, so that we could all gather together. As long as we didn't scatter, the fear would be gone. Said it would still be smaller.
Jiao Ba quickly swam in front of us at this time, waving his hands constantly. He probably meant to tell us to close our eyes. This was all an illusion. The lights flickered so hard that I reluctantly Only then can we understand the meaning of his gestures. If according to what Jiao Ba said, this is really caused by a toxin, then the situation we are encountering now should be an illusion, but where does this toxin come from?
While I was thinking wildly, suddenly, I heard a very strange sound, which seemed to be human laughter. It was very sharp. The sound rippled back and forth in the aisle, sometimes coming in and sometimes far away.
My heart trembled when I heard this, and then I saw the previous scene again. Suddenly, many figures were floating back and forth in the aisle. For a while, the entire aisle was filled with people, and a group of figures were shuttled back and forth from each cabin. Moving very fast, I still couldn't see their appearance clearly, it was blurry, very blurry.
Although I have experienced it once, when this scene reappeared again, I still couldn’t suppress the fear in my heart. The blood in my body almost solidified. I stared blankly. He looked at everything happening in front of him, the lights were still flickering, the whole cabin was as cold as hell, and those figures were like ghosts, with weird laughter, shuttled through every corner of the corridor.
I don’t know how other people are doing, and I don’t care about other people. I only know that my energy can hardly stand it any longer. I have even forgotten what Jiao Ba said. At this time , a woman with disheveled hair reappeared not far in front of me. My first instinct told me that this must be the female corpse in the coffin again.
At this moment, all the hairs on my body stood up, cold sweat instantly accumulated all over my body, and my whole back was feeling the cool breeze. My breathing began to quicken again. I saw I don’t know the woman’s face clearly, her figure flickers in and out under the light, but I know very well that she is getting closer to me little by little.
Her face gradually became clearer, and her blood-red eyes appeared again. When people are in extreme fear, they will become crazy and angry, and now I am completely crazy. .
I stared with angry eyes and picked up the spear gun fiercely. But just when I was about to launch the spear gun, my eyes suddenly went dark and I couldn't see anything. Someone behind me covered my eyes with their hands. Diving goggles, I instinctively wanted to resist, but these hands held my face firmly.
I thought about what Jiao Ba said, maybe all this is an illusion, so I simply stopped struggling. No matter who was behind me, he must be one of ours, so I just let him cover me. With the diving goggles, everything in front of me could no longer be seen. There were no ghost figures, and there was no face of the female corpse. My panic became calmer again.
After about five minutes, the hands covering my eyes moved away, and the corridor returned to its original state. It was still dead silent, and the light in my hand did not move. It flashed again, and everything that happened just now disappeared in an instant. It was really like an hallucination, a dream-like hallucination.
I turned around and looked back. Jiao Ba was standing behind me. He nodded to me. I looked at the others again. Li Xin and Shunzi had also regained their usual calmness. It seemed that Everyone has passed this test, and Li Xin also glanced at me. Her eyes were very strange. I can't describe what kind of look she had.
I didn’t have time to pay attention to her. What I want to know most now is, where is this toxin that can cause hallucinations hidden in the sunken ship?
Mai Lao saw that everyone was fine and had finally weathered the false alarm safely. He waved his hand for us to continue the march. The seven of us went upstream to the second floor and started another survey. The second floor was different from the first floor. There is a slight difference, the aisle is a little narrower than the first floor.
We all dispersed and surveyed the second cabin as quickly as possible. I continued to march deeper into the aisle, heading for the last room. I always had something in my mind. I suddenly thought of the big wooden box from before. That wooden box gave me a strange feeling. Why are there no wooden boxes in all the cabins on the first floor, but only this last one? What does this mean? What's so special about this wooden box?
I still couldn't figure it out. In order to prove that I wasn't paranoid, I decided to go directly to the last cabin on the second floor to investigate. It was the same old trick. After opening the cabin door, I quickly retreated. I aimed the speargun at the cabin door and waited for a while. After confirming that it was safe, I marched in.
After looking around with the lights, I finally found a different cabin. It was a rest cabin with beds, some corroded bedding and clothes, a few cabinets, and some on the ground. There were also some small boxes. I checked carefully. This cabin had obviously been rummaged through. The contents were scattered all over the floor, just like a dilapidated warehouse.
I searched for a while but couldn't find anything of value. There was no jewelry, no gold or silver here, just useless junk. I didn't even see a piece of porcelain. , of course, I didn’t see anyone’s bones either.
In order not to waste time, I quickly exited this cabin and continued to the next one. After inspecting three cabins in a row, I became a little bit frustrated. All three cabins were rest cabins, but this rest cabin was really It was so simple. Each one was almost carved out of the same mold. It was no different from the rest cabin I first surveyed. Even the furnishings were the same.
Except for those junk goods, there is nothing. Logically speaking, there should be people living in the rest cabin. Not to mention the gold, silver and jewelry, but there is not even a corpse, and there are all the people in the cabin. Where did it go? This sunken ship is really weird. It looks like an ordinary granary ship on the outside, but in fact it is not the case at all. The rest cabin is so simple that it is a bit unreasonable.
Now I can only place my hopes on other people. I hope Mai Lao and the others can find something valuable. Then I quickly exited the cabin, and the others came back one after another, big guy. I quickly exchanged information, and the result was the same as what I saw, but I still found nothing.
The entire second-floor cabins are all rest cabins, but the layout is exactly the same without any changes. This alone is enough to be evil, and all the cabins have different layouts. There were no bones, and there were no precious items. Apart from the bedding and clothing corroded by the sea water, there were only the incomplete furnishings.
How could there be nothing? Everyone is a little frustrated. We have been at sea for so many days. We thought that if we found this sunken ship, we would find the treasure we dreamed of. But now let alone the treasure, there is not even a broken bottle or bowl. This whole Just a useless ship.
Mai Lao looked at all of us, his face looked a little ugly. Li Xin and Shunzi were also communicating with each other with their eyes. Everyone was full of doubts about the sunken ship, but they couldn't find any clues. This was the most frustrating thing. A place where people are helpless.
Jiao Ba suddenly gestured, ‘No, it shouldn’t be that simple. ’
I glanced at him, and I fucking knew it wasn’t that simple, but now that the facts are in front of me, what can I do? I saw all the cabins on the upper and lower floors, and there was no nonsense, unless there was another cabin.
When I thought of this, I was shocked. Yes, there should be another layer. Why didn’t I think of it? Maybe there might be a dark layer below the first layer. I thought of the big wooden box again. Maybe the answer lies on that wooden box.
I quickly asked everyone to follow me. I quickly returned to the first floor and went straight to the last cabin. A group of us swam into the cabin. The big wooden box was still standing at the cabin door. I signaled a few Someone came over to help move the wooden box. Although the wooden box was empty, it was very heavy and dead. It took several of us a long time to reluctantly move it.
After the wooden box was removed, I quickly used a light to carefully look underneath. After searching for a moment, my eyes lit up. I found a metal handle in a very inconspicuous position on the edge of the cabin door. I stepped forward and grabbed the handle, held my breath, and pulled it up hard. With two consecutive efforts, I really pulled up the wooden board below. A dark layer like an tunnel appeared in the Before our eyes.
