At this moment, I suddenly remembered, "Hey, Lao Ba, we are all controlled by this force, but why are you okay?"
Jiao Ba sneered and said, "Since we entered the cabin, I have said that the Yin Qi here is very strong, so I have been prepared for it. When you quarrel, I have actually felt that power for a long time.
It exists. Didn’t you see that I haven’t spoken a word? I am also enduring it. If I interrupt, my anger will rise infinitely, and I won’t be able to hold it back even if I want to.”
"Damn it, then since you knew it a long time ago, why didn't you explain it in the end and caused everyone to fall apart?" I stared at him, feeling a little angry.
Li Xin quickly held me down and said, "Zhongyi, calm down. Don't get angry anymore. You must control your emotions."
"Yes, yes, I... I just spoke a little irritably, I have to calm down, I have to calm down." This so-called power of hatred has made me almost mentally ill, and I have to always remind myself not to get angry.
Jiao Ba sighed and said, "If we don't let you separate now, you will be in danger. After we separate, the hatred in your heart will subside before you can ease it. In fact, I was also very worried at the time. If I really can't persuade you, I will
There is nothing we can do.”
"Then what should we do now? What if something happens to them?" The three of us are fine, but if Shaoyu and Shunzi really encounter any trouble, I'm afraid it will be a problem for them to protect themselves.
"Let's go find them after a while. Now is not the time. The power of the magic circle is very powerful. You'd better not meet each other for now. Let's check this floor first, and then go up to find them after it's done. Everyone is here
On a ship, you are afraid that they will be lost," Jiao Ba said.
Now that he has said so, we have to listen to him. If we go up to them rashly, I'm afraid we will start fighting again when we meet. But what I don't understand is why the four of us are divided into two opposing groups.
Instead of fighting independently? If the power of hatred controls us, I should hate everyone present.
Jiao Ba explained it to me at the time. He said that this was also driven by the power of the magic circle. If this person didn't have any complaints in my heart, then I couldn't hate this person at all. To put it bluntly, everything
It has its source, which is the underlying problem in our hearts.
I was a little dissatisfied with Shaoyu's previous attitude. We had several minor frictions, and I was also a little unhappy with Shunzi's concealment. His life experience and what he had committed in the past, he was very strict with me.
Not to mention, I would have some unhappiness in my heart, and these unhappiness quickly began to change. Under the control of the power of hatred, they became unforgivable enemies in my eyes.
It can be seen that Shunzi and Shaoyu are somewhat dissatisfied with me, which allows this evil power to take advantage of them. Through their dissatisfaction with me, they expand their mental state, sometimes bursting out into anger, and then gradually turning from anger into
The hatred became more and more serious, and in the end it was out of control.
The power of this magic circle is really terrifying. We can't see or touch it, but it is in every corner of this ancient ship. We must always be on guard, otherwise, it is easy to accidentally...
Follow its path again.
After finishing talking about these things, the three of us started to check the cabin here. Shunzi and Shaoyu should still be on the upper floor. I hope they are safe and sound. The three of us decided to wait until we finish checking here.
, we will go back to find them.
There is a big difference between ancient ships and modern ships. The size of the cabins and most of the items loaded are also different. We started from the starting point and walked along the corridor to the end. There are only two doors in such a long corridor.
hatch.
There are one on the left and right, both at the entrance of the stairs where we came down before. This is very strange. Normally, there must be at least a dozen cabins on these two sides, but now there are only
Two, the rest are all wooden walls. Although the ice is relatively thick, it is still very easy to distinguish the hatch. At first, I also suspected that there was too much ice and blocked the hatch until we inspected it carefully.
It was discovered that there was actually no hatch at all.
We had no choice but to go back to the stairs from the innermost part. "It's strange. Why are there only two hatches here? This doesn't look right?" I muttered softly.
"Well, I feel very strange. There are only two hatches at the entrance of the stairs, and there is nothing further down the aisle. The architecture of this ancient ship is different from the Ming Dynasty shipwrecks we have come across before."
Li Xin turned on the flashlight and observed while talking.
Jiao Ba stopped at this time and said, "Don't make a fuss. There are many kinds of architectural styles in Ming Dynasty ships. When Zheng He went to sea, there were a large number of different ships. The Ming Dynasty shipwrecks we encountered before were nothing like that."
It’s just a granary ship. The main ship and the treasure ship, including these six ancient ships, must be different.”
"But... have you ever seen anything like this? There are only these two hatches in the huge aisle?" I turned to look at him and asked.
Jiao Ba hesitated and said, "Come on, brother, I am just like you. I only came into contact with this kind of ancient ship after I went to sea. I only know some general things. Let's go, let's open the hatch."
Just look at it and you'll find out."
But when we just returned to the stairs, suddenly, there was an extremely frightening scream from upstairs, which seemed to be caused by human beings being greatly frightened. At that time, I was so frightened that my whole body was shaken. This scream
The sound is very short and disappears in two seconds at most.
After the sound disappeared, the three of us were stunned for a moment and looked at each other, "Oh no, it must be Shunzi and the others. Hurry up and take a look." I ran up the stairs, Jiao Ba and Li Xin.
He also hurriedly followed.
There were only five of us in this place. Although I couldn’t hear the specific voice of the scream, it must have been one of them. It had only been a few minutes. Could something have happened so quickly?
It seems that this ancient ship is more terrifying than the ice city.
But when I ran up, I realized that the entire passage was completely quiet, with not even a single person in sight. The three of us used flashlights and walked all the way from the end to the front hatch, but we still couldn't find them, not even a ghost.
None, and no traces were left on the ground.
But all the hatches on both sides were closed tightly, and the corridor was also as quiet as death. There was no sound, as if the scream just now had never happened at all. Everything here seemed too calm, so calm.
people's hearts
"Where are the people? I remember the source of the sound was right above our heads?" The scream just now was just above us, and logically, it should be at the entrance of the stairs.
"I feel the same way. Didn't they run off the boat?" Li Xin asked casually.
I shook my head and said, "Impossible. Shunzi and Shaoyu will never leave the ancient ship like this."
"Stop adding up, let's split up quickly and search all the cabins on this floor first. If we can't find them again, we will disembark." Jiao Ba's eyes were stern. It seemed that he already knew what was going on.
"Can they be in this cabin? If the cabin door has been opened, shouldn't it be closed?"
We always open the cabin door but don't close it. No matter which ship we search, this is for safety reasons. This ghost place is so evil. Who would enter the cabin and then open the hatch?
Close it. If you are in danger, it will be too late to run away.
"You are right, but... maybe the hatch was not closed by the two of them? Didn't we also encounter this situation in the sunken ship? How powerful is this ancient ship? We have no idea how powerful it is.
I don’t know.” Jiao Ba said with narrowed eyes.
"You're right. I'm so anxious that I can't keep my head clear. Let's go and find them quickly." The disappearance of Shunzi and Shaoyu undoubtedly put pressure on me.
Something happened just a few minutes after I came up. I really don’t know what will happen next.
Originally, we should not act alone. This is a certain threat to our safety, but in order to find them as soon as possible, we have to do this. But Li Xin cannot act alone. She is a woman after all.
It requires one person to take care of it.
I asked Jiao Ba to take Li Xin with me while I searched alone. The two of them could take care of each other and call out in time when they were in danger. Although my safety was reduced, my ability to protect myself was still sufficient.
of.
Li Xin looked at me one last time and said, "Zhongyi, you have to be careful."
I nodded to her, and then Jiao Ba took her and started searching from the last cabin on the left. I kept watching them open the cabin door, and then walked into the cabin before I started to set off.
I started searching from the last cabin on the right. We could just look all the way forward. The distance between each other was not very far. The cabin doors were facing each other. Even if we encountered any danger, we just had to shout
With one sound, the person on the other side can basically hear it.
This is what we have discussed before. In this environment, even if we are saving people, we have to protect ourselves first, so every step we take, we have to discuss a good countermeasure. The number of people is small to begin with, if something happens again
If so, don't expect to get out of here alive.
The hatch was very frozen. I jammed the hatch with a diving knife and pried it out with all my strength. Then I pried open a small crack in the hatch. Then I grabbed the hatch with both hands, and with brute force, I opened it.
I pulled it back bit by bit, and after a continuous "kack-knock" sound, I finally opened the hatch halfway.
I was exhausted at that time. Jiao Ba and Li Xin were more lucky. The hatch on the opposite side opened as soon as they were pulled. But my broken hatch took a long time to open half of it. The first thing I felt was, Shunzi
He Shaoyu will definitely not be here. The hatch is too frozen. Even if it is closed again, it will not be like this.
