Ye Zeqing wanted to keep his mystery and coldness - after all, a strong person would not ask others questions casually, and would be curious about others.
But he couldn't help it, so he could only keep his upper body still, pretending to be bored and indifferent and asking, "How do you feel now?"
Xiao Li was looking at the degree of water immersion in the wood, but Ye Zeqing asked him this way. He didn't look back and said, "How do you feel?"
"Just... are you afraid?"
Xiao Li shook his head, he pulled out the scalpel, cut a small piece of wood from the wooden partition, and turned it in his hand.
"Do you still find it quite exciting?" Ye Zeqing put his hands in his pockets, and did not look sideways, but the words he asked were completely different.
Xiao Li honestly admitted: "It's a little bit."
"Hey, you really admitted it. To be honest, is there something wrong with your personality, what are you excited about?" Ye Zeqing broke the character set, he immediately realized that his volume was too high, and coughed. , lowered the volume again forcefully, and restored the image of a calm powerhouse, "Cough, I mean, there is nothing to be excited about here."
Xiao Li walked slowly at the end, threw away the wood chip in his hand and touched it here and there, leaving a long finger mark on the wooden board with his hand.
There was an unpleasant smell in the air, the rotten smell of things that had been soaked for a long time.
"By the way, I went to your room to look for you before, but there was no sound. Did you do it?" Ye Zeqing was silent for a while, then suddenly remembered this.
Xiao Li didn't know about this, but he could roughly guess who did it, so he just nodded casually as a default.
"... How did you do it?" Ye Zeqing asked in a low voice.
how? This has to be asked by Aite Xiaohuangben.
Xiao Li glanced at him and didn't answer.
Ye Zeqing just tried to ask. If some special props were involved, many people were reluctant to say it. Seeing that Xiao Li didn't respond, he didn't ask any further.
The group of them walked forward along the dark cabin and saw a closed door. They turned sideways with a smile, and opened the door carefully. With the creaking of the cabin door, there was a sound of uploading from the deck. come scream.
The scream was very loud, even if it was a short distance away, it still sounded like a magic sound.
The unhappy Luo Shan was the first to hear the source of the voice, and she turned her head sharply: "An Ran!"
"There's something wrong upstairs..." Wilhelm raised his head.
Luo Shan subconsciously wanted to run back and have a look, but Wilhelm grabbed her: "You can only die with you when you go back!"
As a senior, Qi Xiaoxiao, who has experienced so many reincarnations in the world, has long been used to seeing life and death, she said indifferently: "Life and death are their own choices, they have chosen and missed many times, everyone should be responsible for themselves ."
As she said, she took out a flashlight and went into the room.
At the same time, on the deck of the ghost ship, An Ran, who was screaming, couldn't make any other sound since she called for the first time, because a hand covered her mouth.
Originally, she was lying on the edge of the boat, looking at the endless sea level, she felt panicked: "What are we going to do?"
"Why don't you just follow them? There are a lot of people, they feel safe, and they seem to be very experienced with ghosts." The girl in the young couple said weakly.
Zhu Zhu shook his head and vetoed: "The more experienced they are, the more suspicious they are. What if they made it? I suspect that we collectively inhaled some kind of suspicious hallucinogenic gas. When we went high together, we would be knocked out and sold by them. money!"
"I... I definitely won't go down, it's so dark, it's terrible." An Ran shook her head.
They were discussing when Lu Tang suddenly widened his eyes and pointed at the sea behind Zhu Zhu: "Well, there's a head over there!"
Zhu Zhu was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look in the direction Lu Tang pointed—
On the rough sea, there was a head staring at them.
Seeing that Zhu Zhu turned his head, the water ghost grinned his mouth full of fangs, and a stream of water rolled up Zhu Zhu and stuffed it into his mouth.
Something fell from his pocket and floated on the sea, and if anyone looked closely, they would find that it was a crumpled playing card.
Seeing this, An Ran let out that scream, but the next moment, the target of the water ghost was changed to her.
Her mouth was covered and she was dragged into the water.
in the cabin.
In addition to a simple single bed, this room also has a table with a cup of hot tea on it.
—Yes, hot tea, the tea in the cup is even steaming hot, as if someone was sitting here drinking tea before, and the next second left before the reincarnators came in.
Under the hot tea, a thick book was pressed.
Qi Xiaoxiao hid behind the door after entering the door, for fear of an ambush inside, but Xiao Li and Ye Zeqing swaggered in, the former was not afraid, the latter did not sense the existence of ghosts.
Xiao Li took the hot tea and opened the book underneath.
It was a "Navigation Log", which recorded the date, sailing route, and wind direction of the day in detail, but the most important thing was some of the life fragments mentioned above.
At first, what was documented above was normal.
[329th, sunny day, southeasterly wind.]
[The weather is very good today, the wind is calm, and the wind direction is also helping us. I think we can reach the destination within a month. It’s great. I hope all this batch of goods will be sold. After this trip, I will stay at home. ran away.]
Seeing this, Wei Ligai said: "This man really set up a big fg, and the white flag of death was inserted all over his body."
[On the 42nd, it was rainy and northeasterly.]
[I went to check the status of the goods again today, I hope it won't rain again, the goods are about to be flooded.]
[On the 45th, rainy day, northeasterly wind.]
[It has been raining for the past few days, the sailing speed is slow, and the original arrival time will be delayed again, but on the bright side, there are more fresh water reserves... Alas, I can only comfort myself like this.]
…
But after turning over a few pages, the description changed. The person suffered the same thing as the reincarnator, and he didn't even have the mood to write the format.
[My God... What the hell is going on here, how did my cargo ship turn into a tattered ship in the blink of an eye? ! And there was no one, the crew was all gone, and the ship was still going fast!]
[My house has also changed, there is a cup of hot tea on the table, and there is no one else, which reminds me of the ghost ship news I saw before, the ship that suddenly appeared, empty, but everything was when people were there The way they look, no one knows where they went... This is definitely done by God, this is not something that can be done by human beings!]
[The ship has long deviated from the channel, all the navigators have failed, I don't know where it will go, but the wind and waves are getting bigger and bigger, this ship has no reinforcement measures, will it be overturned?]
Xiao Li looked down, picked up the cup of hot tea, and took a sip naturally.
Before he could swallow the sip of tea, he heard the sound of inhaling from the side.
Xiao Li looked back, Qi Xiaoxiao was leaning against the bed, pointing at the hot tea in his hand: "... How did you drink it?!"
Xiao Li looked down at the hot tea, and he wondered that it wasn't sulfuric acid, so there's no need to be so surprised, right
"I'm thirsty," he said.
His tone is very natural, and the logical sequence is also very smooth. If you are thirsty, you have to drink water, and when it's cold, you have to put on clothes, so Qi Xiaoxiao couldn't refute it.
She was speechless for a while before saying: "But, but this is haunted, in case it is poisonous or mildewed..."
"Fresh, just soaked, no more than two minutes." Xiao Li put the teacup under his nose and smelled it, the heat of the tea wet his eyelashes.
Qi smiled: "..."
- Who really asked you this? No one's going to drink this stuff, okay
Xiao Li slowly closed the logbook and raised two fingers: "The tea is fresh, but the tea is not good, and the person who made the tea has no taste. There are two possibilities. One, time freezes; two, someone is coming with us. We made a special cup of tea before waiting for us."
While saying that the tea is not good, he drank the tea a little thirsty.
Luo Shan listened, she was a little vague, she only understood a general idea, she had heard Xiao Li's name before, and the little girl said with reverence: "Mr Moriarty drinks this cup of tea to test the inference. , this kind of arrogance of being a human being is really amazing."
Xiao Li: "..."
- He was actually really thirsty and picked it up and drank it. He was a little embarrassed to be blown by Roshan like this.
He avoided Roshan's eyes, put down the teacup, and looked around the room again, his eyes finally moved away from the half-opened quilt on the single bed, and went to the next cabin.
This time, Xiao Li walked in the front, the others followed behind him, Xiao Li still put his fingers on the wall of the cabin, leaving a mark.
Drops of water seeped through the wooden wall overhead, dripping down at their feet.
The reincarnators walked into the depths again, and there was a piece of dust floating in the air because of their movements.
After coming to the next room, Xiao Li opened the door, and before he could see what was inside, a person fell towards him.
He turned his body sideways in preparation, and seeing that the figure was about to fall on Ye Zeqing's body, a black figure jumped out from the young man's arm and pushed the man away.
The "person" who fell from the room fell directly to the floor, made a dull "bang", and remained motionless.
Only then did everyone see clearly that it was a corpse, or to be precise, a corpse. The flesh had long since been weathered into ashes, and only a skeleton was left wrapped in a broken coat.
Ye Zeqing didn't sense the ghost, he lost interest in this skeleton, stepped over and walked towards the room.
Qi Xiaoxiao leaned down, briefly groped for the skeleton, pulled out a pocket watch from the skeleton's neck, opened it, and found a picture of a woman inside. , and threw it back, and followed Ye Zeqing to check the room.
They soon found out, from under the bed plank a sealed safe, locked, apparently the owner's favorite.
"There is a lock, a six-digit password." Ye Zeqing said.
Qi Xiaoxiao took off the string of Buddha beads from her wrist and pressed it on the safe, but it didn't work: "There is no influence of supernatural power..."
Wei Ligai: "The copy world will not put a safe here for no reason, maybe this will be our clue."
Qi Xiaoxiao put away the Buddha beads and continued to rummage in this room, looking for paper or lettering that might record the password.
While they were discussing, Xiao Li was still squatting beside the corpse, groping on the skeleton, holding the pocket watch in his hand.
Ye Zeqing said to Xiao Li, "The guy at the door, if you have time to whip the corpse there, why don't you come and help us guess the password."
Xiao Li said without looking up, "Password? Je isante."
Ye Zeqing: "...what is it?"
-Why do you suddenly speak bird language? !
"Just kidding." Xiao Li raised his head, a smile flashed in his black eyes, and he said again, "Try 131513."
Ye Zeqing looked at him suspiciously, and tried to enter the six-digit number Xiao Li said, and the combination lock opened in response.
Qi smiled and said stunnedly: "Moriarty, how do you know the password?"
"Very simple, low-level conversion," Xiao Li stood up and clapped his hands, "o, converted into the order in the English alphabet, corresponding to 131513."
Qi Xiaoxiao continued to ask: "Then how do you know it's o, not dad, not son?"
Xiao Li seemed to wonder why Qi Xiaoxiao asked this question, he pointed to the watch on the skeleton: "Assuming this person is the owner of the box, there is a picture of a woman in the pocket watch he carries. Obviously, this woman is The person he loves very much. The person in the photo is too old to be his sister. Even if he is a brother and sister, he doesn't have a wedding ring on his body, so it is most likely a mother and child. Like this kind of sailor drifting at sea , generally have a thought, build the power to survive through the ties of identity and blood, the most important thing for this kind of person is not the name, but the identity."
Qi smiled: "…"
Xiao Li walked to the edge of the box, flipped the combination lock, and opened the safe.
It was very empty inside, and there were no clues that the reincarnators had imagined. There was only an empty shell, an empty shell of a playing card, locked in the safe in such a precious place.
Xiao Li fell into contemplation after seeing the empty shell of the playing card. Ye Zeqing reached out and took out the shell of the playing card, shook it, and threw it back: "It's ordinary, nothing special."
Poker…
Qi Xiaoxiao took out the poker card she had drawn at the dance, held it in her hand and pondered for a while, and suddenly asked Xiao Li, "What do you think of Moriarty?"
Xiao Li shook his head: "Not sure, look again."
He put his hand on the door of the safe, took out the shell of the playing cards and took it with him, and closed the door again.
They walked out of the room and kept walking.
During the time they came down, except for the terrifying atmosphere in the cabin, no other official ghosts appeared, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Luo Shan followed behind Wei Ligai, who she was most familiar with. She didn't recall it at first. She followed them all the way and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Wei, you are not ordinary passengers, are you?"
Wilhelmy hesitated: "We often see ghosts, and we are used to finding a way out from haunted incidents."
Luo Shan lowered her head slightly. She is often rejected by her friends because of her rambling, so she has no hostility to the reincarnators: "Ghosts... Really exist?"
"Aren't we in the world of ghosts now?" Willie Gay asked rhetorically with a wry smile.
Ye Zeqing interrupted them suddenly, and he stretched out a hand to drink at them: "Wait."
Qi smiled and asked, "Yan Luo, what's wrong?"
"It smells like ghosts..." Ye Zeqing said with a wary expression.
Luo Shan glanced around, and suddenly caught a glimpse of an object out of the corner of her eye. She immediately pulled out her playing cards and suppressed the urge to scream: "Back, back!"
The samsara who walked in front turned back—
On the floor less than half a meter away from the person at the end of the line, lay a skeleton corpse.
It was wearing the same clothes as before, and even the posture was the same, but it was no longer at the door of the previous room. The distance between the skeleton and the reincarnator did not widen, but was close at hand.
It's like... This skeleton just quietly climbed up and has been quietly following behind them!
Before Roshan turned her head, the skeleton's hand was about to touch the heel of Welligai.
If Ye Zeqing hadn't sensed it, the skeleton would be able to drag Weili Gai down in the next second and kill him!
Wilhelmy immediately distanced himself from the skeleton, and said in shock, "This skeleton... is it alive?"
Xiao Li clapped his hands, and he walked over to the skeleton. The skeleton was still lying on the ground in the same posture as before, not moving.
But since Ye Zeqing sensed its ghostly energy, it meant that it was a ghost.
Xiao Li crouched down again and reached out to the skeleton on the ground—Ye Zeqing thought at first that he was going to get the skeleton's pocket watch, or something, but the next moment, Xiao Li saw that Xiao Li was holding a leg bone of the skeleton. , remove it.
Skeleton Ghost: ? ?
One leg bone of the left foot was not enough, Xiao Li removed another leg bone of the skull's right foot in the same way, and held the two together in the palm of his hand.
"Try with another one." Xiao Li said "ha".
He originally got up and wanted to leave, but his thinking was not comprehensive enough—what if this skeleton was disabled and continued to climb with both hands
So Xiao Li removed the skull ghost's hand bones, leaving only its torso, and walked back to the team.
Ye Zeqing: "..."
-Why are you so skilled at removing skeletons? !
Xiao Li held the pile of dismantled bones in his arms, and just as he was about to signal everyone to leave quickly, he heard a heavy blow from the place where the skeleton was behind him.
He didn't turn around, but Ye Zeqing, Qi Xiaoxiao and the others kept facing the direction of the skeleton and didn't look back for a long time.
The skeleton seemed to want to get up, and after rubbing it a few times, it couldn't even crawl on the ground, so it fell back to the ground.
That thump was the sound of it falling.
"What?" Ye Zeqing's eyes were so strange that Xiao Li was horrified by him, so he couldn't help but ask.
Ye Zeqing closed his mouth tightly and said after a long while, "I... just sensed its thoughts..."
Xiao Li asked casually, "What do you think?"
Ye Zeqing was silent for a long time, and then he said, "Hell is empty, the devil is in the world."
Xiao Li:
- You're not describing him, are you
