After returning to the rest cabin, I kept thinking about this matter while lying on the bed. Among the other three sailors, Chang Shan was the most low-key, but the more low-key this person is, the more terrifying he is.
I was thinking about all kinds of things in my mind, but tonight, I still have an important task. I have to check a place, which is the mysterious utility room.
Since I started boarding the ship, I have never entered it, and Jenny and Mr. Mai have never opened it. What secrets are hidden in it?
Combined with the so-called dream that night, I was even more curious. Ever since I was injured, I have been looking for opportunities. Because I couldn't get out of bed before, so this matter was postponed again and again, but I kept thinking in my heart.
Remember, I plan to go and see what happens tonight.
Late at night, probably around eleven o'clock, in the rest cabin, Jiao Ba and Shunzi were both fast asleep, especially Jiao Ba's snoring, which kept making a "whirring" sound, almost like thunder.
But I never slept, always waiting for the best opportunity with my eyes closed. I waited patiently for a while, and I guess Jenny and the others were also fast asleep, so I slowly got up and got dressed before leaving.
When I was sleeping, I took another look at Jiao Ba and Shun Zi. They were both sleeping like dead pigs.
I opened the cabin door gently and walked slowly to the utility room step by step. The lights in the corridor were very dim, which reminded me of my dream that night, especially the scene of blood all over the floor. Although it was clear that
I know it's false, but when I think about it, I can't help but feel a little cold.
Because the injury was not completely healed, I walked very slowly along the way. In addition, I was afraid that the sound of footsteps would attract other people's attention. I was covered in sweat while walking. It was obviously not a long journey.
But I feel as if I have walked on the Long March for 25,000 yuan.
It was the familiar corridor again, with two utility rooms on the left and right sides, and the two cabin doors were still closed. After standing in the middle in a daze for a while, I followed the plot in the dream and walked directly to the left.
After walking to the door, I twisted the handle hard, but unfortunately the hatch was locked. This was different from the dream. I tried a little harder, but it still couldn't be opened. I was injured, so I couldn't open it.
I dared to use all my strength to twist the handle, but I had no choice but to find something to pry open the hatch lock.
I pulled out a small knife from my body. It's the kind of knife that hangs on a key chain. It's not too big. This should work. When I was in the army, I learned how to pry doors and press locks with a comrade.
Experts, I have learned something superficial.
I inserted the knife into the keyhole and tried it a few times. With a 'pop' sound, I pried open the cabin door lock. I didn't expect it to be so easy. I slowly pushed open the cabin door, and there was a piece of paper inside.
It was pitch dark, but when the hatch was opened, an unpleasant smell came from inside, which seemed to be engine oil or something like that.
The switch on the wall was still broken. I took out the flashlight I had prepared in advance, turned it on and walked inside. The utility room was not empty. There was some engine oil and maintenance tools in it.
Some pliers, boards and other things were placed in a mess.
I checked carefully and found nothing except some rags and some screws and nuts. This is indeed a utility room. No wonder it is not opened. Except for maintenance workers, almost no one comes here.
.
But when I was about to exit, I felt as if someone was coming. I listened carefully at the door, and there was a slight sound of footsteps. Sure enough, someone was coming, but who could it be in the middle of the night?
I quickly closed the cabin door gently, turned off the light, and then took a large wrench. I crouched and hid on the right side of the cabin door. The footsteps were getting closer and closer.
I listened carefully and stopped just outside the cabin door, and the footsteps disappeared.
If I say I'm not nervous at all, that's nonsense. My heart is almost in my throat, and cold sweat is flowing down my forehead. What I'm most worried about is that this person has been following me.
My body has not recovered yet. If I meet one of the men in black, I will be dead. Even if he doesn't want to kill me, he will kick me to pieces if he gives me two kicks. I don't have any
The remaining strength to fight back.
Just when I was extremely nervous, the handle of the hatch was turned, and then the hatch was slowly pushed open. Through the light in the aisle, I saw a figure walking in quietly.
At that time, I was hiding behind the hatch with a wrench in my hand. If it was really one of the men in black, I believed that if I used the wrench, I would be able to stun him. I held the wrench tightly, preparing for a sneak attack from behind.
"Brother Yi, brother Yi, are you there?" After this man walked in, he called my name softly. As soon as I heard his voice, my heart immediately dropped. After a long time, it turned out to be Jiao Ba.
"Stop screaming, I'm fucking here." I took the wrench and walked out from behind the hatch.
"Damn, you scared me. Why did you hide behind me and grab a guy? What are you doing? A sneak attack?" Jiao Ba turned around in a hurry, obviously a little scared.
"Nonsense, how the hell did I know it was you? By the way, why did you come with me?" Then I remembered why he came with me.
Jiao Badie smiled and said, "Hey, actually I knew it when you got up. Don't even look at me sleeping, but I know the slightest movement. When I see you walking this way, I know you are
You want to come to this utility room."
I glared at him and said, "Why are you making such a fuss? It's a good thing you called me by my name, otherwise I would have killed you with my wrench." I originally wanted to act alone, but still failed, so I
It's impossible to remain silent if your body is injured.
"Why am I making a fool of myself? Aren't I worried about you? You have difficulty moving now. What if you run into some trouble? I can at least help you." Jiao Ba said with a serious face.
I looked at him and said, "Okay, okay, let's go together."
"Is this right? Have you found anything?" Jiao Ba asked me.
"Not yet, let's go check out the other utility room." The two of us backed out, closed the hatch, and walked to the utility room on the right.
The hatch on the right was also locked. I tried the same method a few times, but it didn't take long to pry it open. Jiao Ba and I pushed open the hatch and walked in cautiously. It was still dark inside.
, just when I was about to take out the flashlight, suddenly the lights in the cabin came on.
I quickly turned around and saw that it was Jiao Ba who had opened it, "Why use a flashlight when there's a light?" Jiao Ba came over and smiled at me.
"I forgot to turn on the light a long time ago. I thought it would be like the scene in my dream." I put the flashlight away, closed the hatch, and started to look around.
Although the lights are turned on now, the cabin is still very dim, and the light bulbs always flicker from time to time. It seems that there is a possibility of power outage at any time. It may be due to the slight shaking of the ship's hull that the light bulbs are also swinging.
, the shaking made my head hurt.
This utility room is not big and does not have any windows. It is sealed on all sides. There are some sheets and beddings, some old and new, and some daily necessities. I looked through them and found nothing special.
, are all very common.
"Brother Yi, this is nothing. Is it a very common thing?" Jiao Ba said while turning around.
"Look again, look carefully, maybe you will find some clues." Logically speaking, if the man in black wants me to know something, according to the plot of the dream, there shouldn't be nothing in this utility room.
Just when I was wondering, I accidentally looked through a pile of old sheets and saw something, which seemed to be a black dress. I picked it up and looked at it, and suddenly my eyes lit up, "Lao Ba, Lao Ba."
