"Are you sure this is the lifeboat deck, not a football field at sea?" Snow looked at the platform in front of him, which was so empty that it could host a sports meeting, and the corner of his mouth began to twitch.
When Wright heard Snow's words, he helplessly spread his hands and said:
"I came to inspect it on the first day I boarded the ship. At that time, the place was full of lifeboats, at least thirty of them."
"Well, I checked it when I got on the boat. The lifeboats were still there at that time." Serra also nodded, indicating that Wright's words were correct, and at the same time frowned and said:
"But if the lifeboat is lowered, there is no reason why no one will notice it!"
"Only the promenade deck and three decks on the ship can see the lifeboat being lowered. It may not be discovered in the afternoon when it is quiet at night." When Wright said this, he was suddenly startled and said immediately:
"You said, when those things were placed on the doors of the first-class cabin at night, was it just to intimidate the passengers in the first-class cabin and distract us so that the lifeboats could be lowered?"
"It's possible... but it doesn't make much sense to know this. We don't even know whether these lifeboats were destroyed or released." Sierra shook her head and said in a slightly stiff tone:
"If the crew escaped, at least it means they can escape. At worst, we can dismantle the ship planks and make a raft or something. As long as we get rid of the mysterious shield, we can find people to rescue at any time through various communication methods. I'm afraid those lifeboats are
It was destroyed to prevent the people on the ship from escaping, so it would not be that simple for the crew on the ship to disappear."
"No matter what you do, you can't stay here any longer. Wright, have you gone to the captain's cabin to see it?" Snow interrupted Sera's useless reasoning, but Wright shook his head and said:
"I've seen it. The captain's cabin and Cambridge are both the same as the infirmary, with the gray-green moss, but not as much as the infirmary."
"Go and have a look." Suzian Wright said, but Snow still walked towards the captain's cabin and kicked the half-closed door open. The moss that had crawled half the room inside suddenly came into view.
In the eyes.
The captain's cabin doesn't look too big, and its specifications are not much different from those of a first-class cabin. It's just that there are all kinds of personal belongings inside.
Although most of them have been wrapped in moss, you can still recognize items such as astrology, charts, and sextants. However, the moss is like old rust, corroding these items. I believe that they will be lost in the near future.
It will completely lose its original appearance.
"Snapped!"
Snow snapped his fingers, and a fireball was generated out of thin air, slamming into the captain's cabin. However, the thick gray-green moss seemed to have considerable strength. Although the fireball released by Snow was only a tenth of the arsonist's extraordinary ability.
One, but it is comparable to the power of a grenade.
But when such an explosion hit the moss, it disappeared like an illusion. Even the flammable materials that had not been eroded showed no sign of being ignited.
"How is that possible? I obviously collected some just now!" Sera carefully held the test tube that had been sealed by spirituality, looked at the moss inside, and even began to wonder if it was an illusion. Snow reached out and broke it off from the railing on the side.
A piece of wood poked the moss in the room, and then said:
"Do you remember our previous guess about Jack's identity?"
"You mean..." A trace of disbelief flashed in Sera's eyes, and then she directly threw the test tube with some moss in her hand into the captain's cabin.
Watching the two of them playing riddles, Wright frowned, but before he could ask, Snow said:
"Go find the other first-class passengers. Since everyone is boarding the ship with a purpose, they should all have some skills!"
…
"How's it going?" After a while, Snow, who kicked open the doors of several first-class cabins, returned to Sierra's room, looked at the two people with solemn expressions, and asked.
"Two of the houses here have begun to show moss. Although the remaining houses don't have that kind of thing yet, they seem to have been empty for a long time."
Sierra's long silver hair looked a little disheveled, and it seemed that this woman had the habit of scratching her head when she was upset, while Wright's expression was more solemn. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"It's similar over there. Most of the rooms are empty, but there are some signs of activity in two of them. As for the moss, I didn't see any."
"It looks like there are only three of us alive on the third deck up. I saw two sailors just an hour ago." Snow maintained a relatively gentle breathing rhythm to purify the air. The spell worked as well as possible. Although he didn't know what the moss was, this substance that looked like a carpet always reminded him of the various strange crops of the Church of the Mother Earth.
"I actually met the sailor and the waiter before I met you, didn't I tell you? When I finished my afternoon tea and started investigating, there were still people in the cold drink shop and the gym... It was just that they were not in good condition at that time. That's so right." Wright recalled briefly, and then added -
"What I said is not quite right. It's not that they are abnormal, but that they act too normal. At a time when everyone can find problems, they act like normal people."
"But when we came down, wasn't there anyone in the cold drink shop?" Sierra stretched out her hand and scratched her head, making her already messy long hair a little messier. Snow activated [Zi Feiyu] and once again Focusing his attention on Wright, he asked:
"Where were you before having afternoon tea? Did you notice anything strange?"
"I spent the whole morning playing cards with people in the entertainment room on the second deck. Although there were fewer people in the entertainment room at that time, there were about forty or fifty people. At that time, I thought it was just that there were fewer people coming to gamble in the morning." Wright Seemingly unaware of Snow's suspicion, Snow answered his question sincerely. After Snow confirmed that he had no flaws, he finally said:
"What was the state of those gamblers at that time?"
"At least they are more normal than the staff at the cold drink shop." Wright shook his head with a subtle expression, "They all look a little anxious. I have heard many people complain that there are fewer people on the ship and that breakfast has become unpalatable. The content...to be honest, they didn't look like they were gambling, but like they were venting."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go down and have a look. Maybe there are a few living people there." Sierra immediately wanted to walk towards the stairs, but found that neither Wright nor Snow moved, and their expressions were slightly embarrassed. Looking at the two people looking at each other like fools, after a while, Snow sighed helplessly:
"It's been so long and no one has come up below. I don't think there are still a few living people down there. In other words, even if there are many living people down there, can you believe them?"
