"Where's the key?" After scratching the itch, Luo Jian began to search Feng Yulan's body as a matter of course, and took out an old key from his pocket. It was a very old big key, and he had fought too hard with that dead body before. , Luo Jian didn't observe the appearance of the key carefully at all.

"Which door will this key match?" Feng Yulan also came over to observe the key. The surface of the key seems to be plated with gold. Although it is old and ancient, it looks very valuable. If you look carefully, you will find that the key is It was engraved with dense lines, which seemed to be engraved with characters, but the characters were too small. Luo Jian and Feng Yulan squinted their eyes and looked at it for a long time, but they couldn't see what characters were engraved on it.

"I don't know if there will be a magnifying glass on this ship, so that we can see what is written on it." Feng Yulan said.

"But where is the magnifying glass?" Luo Jian rubbed her chin and began to think.

"Actually, there is no need to find a telescope." Feng Yulan seemed to have thought of a good idea, and said excitedly with a smile: "There are usually telescopes on board, and they can also be used as magnifying glasses."

"I remember that there was a telescope in the captain's cabin, which was hung next to the mural. It seemed that it hadn't been touched for a long time, so it was covered with dust." Luo Jian recalled the situation when he searched for the captain's cabin. What surprised him was that , These details are so clearly recalled, everything he has done, the places he has been, the objects he has turned over, seems to be like a movie playback, everything is clear.

"It's the captain's cabin again..." Feng Yulan was embarrassed, he thought of the stranger who might still be on the deck, and the monster he killed in the corridor near the captain's cabin, both of which were very far away from the captain's cabin. close. So no matter what, going back now is undoubtedly fraught with danger, and the timid Feng Yulan could only stare at Luo Jian expectantly.

But this time Luo Jian didn't pay attention to Feng Yulan's movements, frowned and touched his arm, feeling the sharp pain from the wound on his arm. In fact, the wound had been hurting all the time, but now it suddenly became very obvious. It was as if the pain had been suddenly magnified.

"What's wrong? Is there any discomfort?" Feng Yulan couldn't help worrying.

"Ah..." Luo Jian pondered for a while, and said, "It's okay, it's just that the wound on my arm hurts."

"Let me see." Feng Yulan wanted to pick off Luo Jian's sleeve, but he stopped him. Luo Jian shook his head and said, "It's not a big problem, but there is something I have to tell you. Ah Lan, remember, All injuries suffered in the secret room will be completely healed when returning to the real world, and no wound will be left, so no matter how we toss our bodies at this time, as long as we leave the secret room within the specified time, even if we are dying survive."

"Conversely, any ailments in the real world will also heal when we enter the secret room, keeping us in the best condition, right?" Feng Yulan touched her waist subconsciously. The knife wound is now gone.

"Yes, the Chamber of Secrets is very magical, and some settings are very... humanized?"

"But what is the meaning of the secret room? I mean... why did it let us in, and why did it arrange these trials to test us?" Feng Yulan asked the question he wanted to know the most. He learned from Luo Jian He got a lot of news about the secret room there, but most of it was incomplete, which made him have only a vague concept of this magical space.

"Who knows? I don't understand these big principles." Luo Jian stood up, put the key in his pocket, clapped his hands and said, "We just need to live."

In order to get the binoculars, Luo Jian had to drag Feng Yulan back to the captain's room. When passing through a corridor, Luo Jian suddenly stopped, stood in front of a pool of blood, thoughtful, and frowned tightly. Yu Lan didn't react for a while, she asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"The monster has come back to life again." A strange smile appeared on Luo Jian's face.

Feng Yulan thought of the huge monster with a ferocious face like a cat-like creature, and was startled immediately, and said in surprise: "No way, you almost dismembered it, so it can be revived?"

"I don't know how it did it, but the body is gone." Luo Jian said: "The rules in the secret room are very strange, things that are absolutely impossible to happen in the real world, but here... everything is possible."

When Luo Jian said this, he kept a strange smile on his face, which made Feng Yulan on the side feel creepy just by looking at it.

"The monster seems to be getting stronger as it is revived. The first time I met it, although I was inexperienced and suffered some injuries, I was able to kill it easily. The second time, I felt that its strength and speed had increased significantly. Know what will become of this resurrection? We better find the exit quickly, otherwise this will be endless."

The only clue at this stage is the key in his hand. The key is engraved with densely packed small characters. Only by deciphering these characters can he survive, so Luo Jian took Feng Yulan back to the captain's room. The captain's room seemed to be the same, as if no one else had entered except Luo Jian and the others.

After Luo Jian came in, he ran directly to the telescope hanging on the wall, took it off and checked to make sure there was no fault, Feng Yulan followed behind and closed the door tightly, and the two of them squeezed together holding the oil lamp and began to awkwardly use the telescope When used as a magnifying glass, the words engraved on the key come into view one by one.

[The murderer buried the only exit, if you want to survive, kill him.]Feng Yulan frowned, and said helplessly: "Our question is back to the original point, who is the murderer? Is it the captain, the navigator, or the two surviving crew members?"

"Maybe everyone is a murderer?"

"how do I say this?"

"The pirate ship couldn't find its way in the fog, and all the members of the ship were in deep chaos, and according to the description in the logbook, something happened on August 9th, we don't know what it is, but we can understand that it was It is something that everyone is extremely taboo, and this incident may have aggravated the negative psychology of the crew. In this case, no one can remain rational, and there may be other reasons, such as the consumption of water and food. Continue to provide for the survival of such people.

The captain may have indeed ordered others to attack others, but his actions may have been just a trigger that started a fire that filled everyone's hearts with the desire to destroy. "

"So one by one, people started to kill each other, and with a tacit understanding, they stuffed the dead into boxes and piled them up. The rest of the people were like lunatics, and the survivors also started the battle. In the end, the captain was killed when he wanted to record everything, and one of the other two crew members was killed by the other, and the one who survived was the final winner. The body was hung from a high lookout."

Luo Jian slowly narrated, and deduced the truth of the matter one by one rationally. At the end of the story, he paused and said: "Now we can imagine that the only remaining survivor, his ending will be What's it like?"

"Suicide?" Feng Yulan's first thought was this: "This ship has obviously not escaped from the fog. When everyone is dead, the water and food will always be exhausted. Except for suicide in loneliness and despair. Death, I can't think of any other ending for him."

"Then where might he commit suicide?" Luo Jian asked.

"I don't know about that." Feng Yulan shook her head: "It depends on the individual's psychology. If it were me, I would choose to be on the deck. Even if there is no light in the fog, I don't want to die alone in a dark place. "

"What if it's a woman?" Luo Jian suddenly opened his mouth and smiled.

"Women?" Feng Yulan admitted that he hadn't cared about the gender of the only survivor at all. In his knowledge, few who could be pirates were women.

"If she is very beautiful, has a strong vengeful heart, hates everything, has two ambivalences of self-confidence and inferiority complex at the same time, maybe even believes in religion, distorts her character in the mist, and kills many people without a word, what do you think is such a woman... Where would you choose to die?"

Feng Yulan frowned and thought for a long time, then tentatively said: "Maybe, I will find a place where others can't see it, or a place where no one can find it? But... Luo Jian, why do you think that the last Will the survivor be a woman?"

"Because of the first victim in the wooden box on the deck, he has a photo of him and his wife."

Feng Yulan suddenly thought of the old photo in the notebook.

"You think his wife will be on board too?"

"Perhaps, I'm just guessing that the torn page of the logbook on August 9th may have something to do with his wife, maybe it was oppression, or even..." Luo Jian paid attention to her wording , whispered: "I was raped by someone, and it was discovered, and it became known to everyone or other things. The poor woman's husband didn't know how to avenge his own woman. He sneered at the captain, and of course Probably did something else, and in the end he was the first victim..."

"Then this woman wisely kept calm and tried hard to survive among a pack of wolves. Maybe she gave something, such as... her body? She ordered all kinds of men to cause disputes for her, and vowed to kill everyone?" Feng Yulan Interfaced with Luo Jian's conjecture, and proceeded to the next conjecture on the whole fact.

Luo Jian nodded: "As she wished, everyone died. She may be at a loss. Her husband is a believer, and she probably is too. After killing so many people by design, this woman may think that she You betrayed the Lord, so you want to hide in a place where you can't see any light, and let your traces disappear from the world completely."

"But could she commit suicide by jumping into the sea?"

Luo Jian glanced at Feng Yulan, and said: "The first tip the note gave me was not to jump into the sea. From this, I can see a lot. For example, that woman definitely did not jump into the sea."

"Okay, what do I have to call you? Whimsical analysis king?"
