I smiled bitterly and said, "Whether we can find clues, we can only try this now, otherwise everything will be in vain."
Jiao Ba nodded and said, "I think it's feasible. There might be a huge secret in that gap."
"If there is any secret, we will find out later. By the way, Lao Ba, I have something to tell you. It's about our actions that night." I said seriously.
"Wait a moment." Jiao Ba stood up and opened the hatch and took a look. After making sure there was no one outside, he walked back and turned on the recorder, playing an unpleasant song and adjusting the volume to a medium level.
Then he sat down in front of me and said, "Come on, Brother Yi, keep your voice down, and be careful that the walls have ears."
"I'm asking you, old man, where are the things on me?" I suddenly remembered the half piece of jade pendant and the golden ball I got on the female corpse. Now I don't know where they are.
Jiao Ba whispered in my ear, "Don't worry, brother Yi, everything is with me. After you fell into the sea, I fished it out for you immediately, so you don't have to worry about this."
"How's it going? Did you find anything new after putting the jade pendants together?" Now I really want to know what is hidden in this jade pendant.
Jiao Badie said with a smile, "Of course I have found something, but I can't see it now. When it's night, let's find a place where no one is around. I'll show you and you'll understand everything."
I nodded, "Yeah, that's fine. By the way, who bandaged my injuries?"
"It's Mr. Mai. This old guy is quite professional. I didn't expect him to know medical skills." Jiao Ba said with some approval.
"Mr. Mai is such an extraordinary person, don't you know? He was a soldier before, encountered a shipwreck, and drifted alone in the sea for several days and nights. I'm not surprised at all that he knows medical skills.
." When I think about everything that has happened these days, Mr. Mai is simply unfathomable.
Jiao Ba was a little surprised and said, "Damn, this old guy can do it. He has experienced things no less than you."
I sneered and said, "Me? Compared with him, I pale into insignificance. Who am I? These few times under the deep sea, if it weren't for Mr. Mai, I would have died a long time ago."
Jiao Ba rolled his eyes and said, "Well, that's right. Mr. Mai is indeed an extraordinary person. Every time at a critical moment, he can always give people unexpected results."
I looked at him and said, "Haha, maybe this is just the beginning, and there will be more exciting things later. Let me ask you, why didn't Li Xin bandage me?" Logically speaking, Li Xin should be responsible for this kind of thing, no.
The reason is to let Mr. Mai take action.
"I don't know. Li Xin hasn't shown up in the past two days. I heard from Jenny that she seems to be sick." Jiao Ba said, shaking his head.
Another excuse for being sick. That night, the short man in black was scratched by me, but Li Xin never showed up during this time. Is there something wrong with this? I remember that I was injured that night.
his arms.
Since then, Li Xin has not shown up. I have to find a chance to look at Li Xin's arm and see where the paratrooper knife was cut. I can see that if there is an obvious scar on her arm, it will prove that
She was the short man in black that night.
"Brother Yi, brother Yi, what are you thinking about?" Jiao Ba touched me.
I came to my senses and said, "Think again about what happened that night."
"I was just about to ask you, what happened that night? And what was that dream you mentioned about?" Jiao Ba whispered in my ear.
"I'll tell you now..." I carefully recalled everything that happened that night, and I began to tell him seriously, from our original plan to when I smelled the fragrance, and then what happened in the dream.
everything.
Then there was the contrast between reality and dreams, and finally I met two men in black on the bearded boat, and so on. I explained all these things in detail and completely, leaving almost no small details behind.
plot.
"When I found you, you were already unconscious. After I wake you up, you will know what happened next." I looked at Jiao Ba and said with a gloomy face.
Jiao Ba's brows were furrowed. After a while, he said, "First of all, I can be sure that our plan this time has been a complete failure. We both fell into someone else's trap."
I didn't say anything and planned to continue listening to him. Jiao Ba said with a cold face, "The aroma you smelled at that time should be a type of incense. There are several kinds of incense, but this kind of thing is
It was most common in ancient times. The most common ones were made from datura flowers and some yams. After being lit, it would release a fragrance that would make people fall into coma after smelling it. This thing does not require an antidote and lasts for three to five hours.
People will wake up naturally, this is the most common incense."
"You mean, I was knocked over by this kind of ancient incense?" I had thought before that there must be something wrong with the fragrance. I thought it was some kind of modern chemical, but I didn't expect it to be some kind of modern chemical.
What kind of incense is this thing that was only used by ancient people? Why do people still use it now?
Jiao Ba shook his head gently and said, "It's not that simple. Didn't you say that you had a terrible nightmare after you passed out? If you didn't have this dream, you might have been addicted to this ordinary incense, but
If you add this so-called dream to it, it will definitely not be the case."
"And you said that the plot in the dream can be basically the same as reality. This is the most important point. Brother Yi, I want to make something clear to you. Your dream was not a dream at all. It was someone who controlled you after you fell into coma.
Your consciousness, to put it bluntly, is that someone is controlling the thinking in your brain."
After Jiao Ba said this, I was a little dumbfounded, "No... Lao Ba, what do you mean, someone is controlling my thinking? Controlling my dreams? This is fucking bullshit, is this possible, Lao Ba?"
eight?"
In fact, I kind of believe what he said. Although I don't want to admit it, I have experienced so many things since I went to sea. Now I can't help but believe it. Many facts are before my eyes. You can't believe it.
Jiao Ba sneered and said, "Isn't it possible? It must be possible. This kind of incense is the most terrifying thing."
"I remember hearing my father say something before. He said that there is a kind of incense that is specially made from the corpse oil of dead people and combined with poisonous scorpions, spiders, centipedes and other highly toxic creatures. This incense is called corpse incense.
San is a very, very evil thing. In the feudal period when ancient emperors ruled, this kind of thing was specially designed to control people's minds and brains."
"I suspect that you were poisoned by this kind of incense. I didn't expect that someone on our ship would actually use this evil poison. This corpse incense powder can not only make people unconscious, but the poisoner can also control the unconscious person in a short period of time."
's brain."
"He can sneak into the mind of a comatose person and control the consciousness of the comatose person to achieve his own goals. The comatose person doesn't know anything when he is in a coma and thinks he is living in reality."
"Even if a comatose person wakes up, some people still won't remember anything, while others will remember their dreams. Generally, there are two possibilities for this. One is that the poisoner deliberately made him remember."
"Furthermore, the will of the comatose is very strong and can break through the poison of the corpse incense powder, but there are very few such people. I think the poisoner deliberately let you remember the situation in this dream, by the way.
I have to add that the most poisonous corpse incense powder can make a person completely lose his will and become a living dead."
I got a general idea of what Jiao Ba said. Corpse incense powder. Just the name sounds like it is quite evil. It can be made from corpse oil and those poisonous insects. It will definitely not be used by good people. If
If such a thing really existed, it would be really scary to think about it.
Especially the living dead that Jiao Ba mentioned at the end can be called a kind of witchcraft, but I still don't understand how this poisoner controls my brain. Since I have already passed out,
, how could it be conscious? It should be that he doesn’t know anything.
Jiao Ba saw my doubts, "You don't quite understand, do you? So, let me put it simply, you should know it as a hypnotist, right?"
I nodded and he continued, "It's like a person being hypnotized. The hypnotist can make you sleepy and help you retrieve your lost memories. It's just that the poisoner of this corpse incense powder is stronger than
The hypnotist is much more powerful. When you are falling asleep, the poisoner is actually right next to you. Whatever he says will appear in your dreams. All your thoughts are based on his thoughts.
Let’s go.”
When he said this, I understood, "You mean, someone deliberately arranged all this just to let me see the face of the man in black? But the man in black in my dream...he
It’s a straight child.” My last words were spoken in a very low voice.
