These water stains on the ground are not simple.
Shen Yu squatted down, carefully inspecting the wet footprints.
It was about the size of an adult's foot, and he didn't wear shoes, so even the traces of his toes were clearly visible.
It's just that compared with normal people, the toes on these footprints are extraordinarily slender and sharp, the toes are connected together, and they seem to have webs.
Last night, an unknown creature quietly opened the door, and climbed into his bed while he was fast asleep...
Thinking of Yue Ze who turned into a water ghost in the dream, Shen Yu's expression was a little unsightly.
Is it day thinking and night dreaming, or a weird premonition
He couldn't help but wanted to get up and go to the lower cabin.
But just as he went out, a woman's scream suddenly came from a nearby room.
Shen Yu's footsteps paused, and finally, he turned to the room where someone was screaming.
A few people who also heard the voice also followed.
A middle-aged woman with a pale complexion sat slumped on the floor, her palms and face were covered with blood, and even her mouth was covered with sticky plasma.
On the bed in the room, there was still a middle-aged man lying. The breath of life had long since disappeared, his body and head were separated.
Many people who came to join in the fun, just stepped into the room, were frightened by the bloody scene in front of them, couldn't help retching, covered their mouths and hurried out.
"How did this happen...why did this happen..." The woman slumped on the floor opened and closed her bright red lips feebly, muttering to herself, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing, her hands trembling uncontrollably.
This is a middle-aged couple. They are just ordinary tourists. They managed to escape to the dance hall on the top floor yesterday. After the dance, they still slept in a room.
The next day, when the wife woke up, she found that the tragedy had happened.
"I, I had a dream last night..." She seemed to suddenly remember something, and continued to murmur, "I dreamed that I came to a melon field, and I was so thirsty that I wanted to pick a watermelon to eat."
"The seedlings of the watermelon are too thick, as thick as a human's neck. I couldn't pull it off even though I tried my best. Finally, I chopped the watermelon down many times with a knife."
"The watermelon in my dream is already ripe. The red juice is so delicious. I have never eaten such a delicious watermelon before. I really want to eat it again..."
As if in a dream, the middle-aged woman sitting on the floor hunched her back, shrunk her body into a ball, and her expression became more and more crazy: "Watermelon is very sweet, but it's a pity that it's a bit old. You can always eat shreds from the flesh of the melon, and chew it well." Very strenuous...”
While speaking, she stuck her fingers into her throat, made a retching sound, and pulled some black hair from her throat.
It's human hair.
There was a strange expression on the face of the middle-aged woman, as if it was the last sign before she was on the verge of madness: "That's not a watermelon at all, it's him...it's his head, his hair...I ate him...I ate it he!!"
Covering her cheeks with blood-stained hands, she lowered her head and let out a mournful wail.
Seeing this situation, the people who were crowded outside the door all showed horror and took a few steps back in unison, wishing to get as far away from this crazy woman who ate her husband as possible.
Among them, a few people whispered in a trance: "I also had a dream last night. I dreamed of my mother who died long ago..."
"I dreamed that my daughter, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, died tragically in my arms..."
"I have a deep-sea phobia, but last night I dreamed that I kept sinking into the sea. There was a scary-looking monster in the abyss of the sea, with its mouth wide open, waiting for me to fall..."
"My door was opened this morning, but it was locked well yesterday!"
"Me too, I found my quilt was wet early in the morning, and there were footprints outside the door..."
During the chatter, the crowd's panic became more and more serious, and almost everyone began to be in a trance, wondering what happened last night.
Are their dreams real
Listening to the noise around him, Shen Yu avoided the crowd and stepped into the middle-aged woman's room.
The woman was still sitting on the ground, as if she was dead, she was silent, her expression was dazed, and she was depressed.
Shen Yu tiptoed around her and looked at the horrible corpse on the bed.
The woman chopped off the watermelon vines in her dream, but in reality, the man's neck was not chopped off by a sharp knife.
Judging from the torn muscle wound, it was more like his head was ripped off alive by something.
Moreover, the human skull is very hard. With the bite force and teeth of an ordinary person, how could it be possible to crush an adult's head alive
When a woman's husband is bitten, doesn't he struggle and cry out in pain
In this way, how can a thin woman suppress the counterattack of a healthy adult man
There were more and more doubts, Shen Yu glanced at the porthole of the room inadvertently, and then stopped.
"You didn't close the windows last night?" He asked softly.
Hearing the window, the woman finally reacted.
She raised her dull eyes, and said almost numbly: "At the dance yesterday, my husband drank a few more glasses of wine. He said the room was too hot, so he opened the window to let in some air..."
Close the portholes at night is the only requirement of this cruise ship for upper deck passengers.
So last night everyone had bizarre nightmares, but the man who opened the porthole to breathe was the only one who died.
Thinking of this, Shen Yu frowned even tighter.
Why must the porthole be closed
The door of his room was opened unconsciously last night, and many people have encountered the same situation as him. The door was wide open, the bedding was wet, and there were footprints outside the door.
But they were all safe and sound.
Among them, there must be some details that he ignored, and these details are the necessary conditions for death.
But the woman returned to the stupefied state again, as if her heart was ashamed, no matter how she asked her, she would just blankly not answer, and the clue was cut off here again.
As time passed, the crowd watching the excitement outside the door gradually dispersed.
In this precarious horror story, everyone is worried about their own lives, and almost no one has extra sympathy to comfort a woman who has lost her husband.
Shen Yu sighed secretly, put the man's head back on the neck, lifted the quilt, and hastily covered up this horrible corpse.
The woman was still in a daze, her eyes staring at the bed.
"Hey! Little handsome guy, you are quite caring!" A frivolous laugh suddenly came from outside the room.
Shen Yu followed the voice, and saw Starscream in a red dress, leaning on the door frame, holding the slender and compact female cigarette rod in his hand, and brought it to his lips to take a puff, and then let out a puff slowly. Faint smoke rings.
She saw all of Shen Yu's previous actions, and she couldn't help feeling a little curious at this moment.
Starscream smiled lazily, and said: "Last night at the dance, this couple has been staying near me. I know everything about their words, deeds, and every move. If you have any questions, why don't you come and ask me?"
Shen Yu frowned slightly, walked out of the room, and carefully closed the door, leaving room for the woman who lost her husband to calm down before answering Starscream's question head-on.
"What do you want?"
In a horror story, how can someone you don't know give you a helping hand without asking for anything in return
Starscream smiled and said, "I like your wit."
"The couple also had a partner dancing with them last night, and one of the blond girls, blushing, asked her husband if he liked her? Want to be with her? Want to join them?"
"This husband rejected the girl because he cared about his wife... He is a rare and good man!" She said regretfully.
Shen Yu frowned slightly: "That's it?"
Starscream took a puff of cigarette: "That's it!"
Shen Yu had no choice but to lower his head, pondering and said: "Maybe the key is not whether a man likes girls or not, but the girl asks him if he wants to join them..."
"Joining them means becoming their kind?"
"And the man will be wrong and reject the girl."
Just after rejecting the girl, the man drank a few glasses of wine and opened the porthole after returning to his room at night...
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Starscream clapped his hands for his deduction: "As expected, I am not mistaken, your thinking is indeed very sharp!"
"The answer you want has been given to you, now, listen to my conditions."
She approached Shen Yu and said: "If we are led by the nose by the characters in the book, we will always be in a passive state and will not get too many clues. So I am going to venture out at night. Are you interested in coming together? It’s good to have a care in between.”
Facing the boss's invitation, Shen Yu remained calm: "You are ranked in the top ten on the stele, if you just want to find a follower, I'm afraid many people will cry and fight for this spot!"
"Attendants? Of course I don't need any." Starscream gently pressed the slender cigarette stick to his lips, "But I don't trust those men who come forward on their own initiative."
"Those men who seem to be sincere like licking a dog may be flattering and flattering one moment, but the next moment they encounter danger or the temptation of huge interests, they will be on your back without hesitation. Stab it."
"I'm not going to cooperate with the men who post it upside down. Those people are either for beauty or to seek my protection. But a newcomer like you who is capable and not following others is novel and lovable."
Shen Yu frowned slightly: "As you said, I am just a newcomer who has just started, maybe my strength is not up to your requirements."
"I think you have underestimated yourself, who hasn't come all the way from a rookie, maybe one day you will be famous in the White Tower... maybe?" Starscream shook the soot, turned and left.
Before leaving, she waved her hand casually and left a sentence like this: "I know you care about your two companions, but during the day, there are sailors patrolling everywhere on this heavily-ranked cruise ship, and only at night can you Find an opportunity to go to the lower cabin."
"If you've thought it through, we'll still meet here tonight."
Looking at the back of Starscream leaving slowly, Shen Yu's eyes moved slightly.
The other party's last sentence just now really convinced him.
He has to go out, just tonight.
…
Meanwhile, in the lower cabin.
Captain Hans had a very serious face, staring at a bucket full of shipworms in front of him: "You mean, all the shipworms on the bottom of the ship were salvaged with only one low-grade seed into the water?"
The sailors responded obediently: "Yes, Captain."
At this time, Yue Ze's clothes were soaked, his face was cold, and he was sitting alone in the corner, closing his eyes and resting his mind.
The collar of his sleeves, as well as his sideburns, were constantly dripping water, and the wet black hair stuck to his pale cheeks, adding a touch of sharpness instead.
Around him, a group of low-level people couldn't help trembling slightly under the captain's sharp gaze.
After looking around, Captain Hans couldn't help grinning and said, "Since one person has done all the work, why should I support so many people?"
He said to the sailors: "Stop the food of these rubbish, if they cry hungry..."
He kicked the iron bucket full of shipworms beside him: "Just give them this, anyway, there are so many, and it doesn't cost money!"
After saying that, the captain swaggered away.
Only a group of people remained where they were, with astonishment on their faces.
They only had a piece of moldy black bread for each meal. They couldn't get enough to eat, and now they didn't even have this food
Even if the shipworm is just a kind of shellfish, not a real maggot, but look at its appearance... It is smooth and greasy, twisted into a ball in the iron bucket, it is simply a large maggot!
How can this be eaten!
For a moment, there was a mournful sound in the cabin.
The novelist who wanted to attack ordinary people before, but was taught a lesson, fell to the ground at this time, sighed and said: "A certain person has finished all the work, and he must not be short of food. Those of us How should people live?"
Judging from what he meant, it was obvious that Koshizawa was being pointed at.
The people around cast vague and complicated gazes at Yue Ze, but no one spoke up, and instead stayed away from the novelist silently.
Ordinary people are not stupid, how could they fail to recognize that the novelist deliberately provoked trouble, trying to stir up the anger of others and serve as cannon fodder for himself.
Before Yue Ze went into the water, he inadvertently showed his strength. Others are crazy to dare to fight against him!
No one around agreed with him, and the novelist could only shut his mouth resentfully, seeing that he could not provoke him.
Yue Ze still looked indifferent, closed his eyes and rested his mind, as if the novelist's provocation just now was just a "buzzing" sound when a fly harassed him.
But a small hand quietly grabbed his drenched sleeve and pulled it carefully.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a little girl who was only a few years old, grabbing his sleeve, grinning at him, revealing a few missing baby teeth.
"Big brother, I was on the boat before... Thank you for saving my mother!" The little girl said in a childish voice, looking at him with big round eyes, "My mother is also very grateful to you!"
After timidly speaking, the little guy ran back shyly and flung himself back into his mother's arms.
Looking at the safe and sound mother and daughter, Yue Ze's condensed eyes finally softened slightly.
At this moment, Zhang Cuihua also quietly came to his side: "Boss, I'm back."
Before Captain Hans came to the cabin on the bottom floor, the sailors were in a state of confusion. Just when everyone was focusing on the captain and Koshizawa, she took the opportunity to slip out and grope around in other cabins.
"According to your instructions, I found out the exact location of the pilot's cab on the cruise ship, but the hatch of the pilot's cab is closed tightly, I dare not use brute force to break in, otherwise the movement will be too loud, and it will easily disturb the sailors nearby .”
She reported to Yue Zehui in a low voice: "If we want to find a chance to sneak in, we can only wait until after dark, until those sailors relax their vigilance."
Yue Ze's eyes sank slightly.
"Okay, just tonight."
