When I saw the lights starting to flicker, my whole body felt like I was electrocuted. For a moment, I didn't even dare to move. The thing I was most worried about now happened.
I glanced at the others, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the light in my hand. Li Xin's face turned very bad. From her eyes, I could see the panic. The others were not much better. , the atmosphere seemed very strange for a moment, and everyone was probably on tenterhooks.
I glanced at Jiao Ba again, and he shook his head gently, indicating that I don't care, it's okay. Mr. Mai was also very calm. From his eyes, I couldn't see panic, but just plainness.
But Li Xin was a little confused at this time, gesturing and asking, 'Why is it like this again?'
Before I could reply, Mr. Mai gestured, 'Don't worry about it, keep walking.'
When our group was about to start marching to the second floor, suddenly, the lights in other people's hands began to flicker. It was almost the same scene as last time. The lights flickered very hard, very fast, and shook. Human eyes can't stand it.
Since I couldn't speak underwater, the scene was a bit chaotic for a while. Li Xin and other sailors were a little stunned. They were patrolling back and forth with their spearguns. I was also very nervous. The lights flickered. I always have a hallucination, as if someone will suddenly appear in front of me, and what I am most worried about is that I will see the face of the female corpse again. I am almost going crazy from being tortured by her.
When Mr. Mai saw that everyone was a little out of control, he hurriedly swam to the side and pulled the sailors back one by one, so that we could all gather together. As long as we didn't spread out, the fear would be relatively small. .
At this time, Jiao Ba quickly swam in front of us, waving his hands constantly. He probably meant that we should close our eyes. This was all an illusion. The lights were flickering so hard that I could barely understand his gestures. Meaning, if according to what Jiao Ba said, this is really caused by a toxin, then the situation we are encountering now should be an illusion, but where does this toxin come from?
Just when I was thinking wildly, I suddenly heard a very strange sound, which seemed to be human laughter. It was very sharp. The sound rippled back and forth in the corridor, sometimes coming in and sometimes going far away.
My heart trembled when I heard this, and then I saw the previous scene again. Suddenly, many figures were floating back and forth in the aisle. For a while, the entire aisle was filled with people, and a group of figures were shuttled back and forth from each cabin. Moving very fast, I still couldn't see their appearance clearly, it was blurry, very blurry.
Although I have experienced it once, when this scene reappeared again, I still couldn't suppress the fear in my heart. The blood in my body almost solidified. I stared blankly at what was happening in front of me. Everything, the lights were still flickering, the whole cabin was as cold as hell, and the figures were like ghosts, with weird laughter, walking through every corner of the corridor.
I don’t know what happened to other people, and I don’t care about other people. I only know that my energy can’t stand it any longer. I have even forgotten what Jiao Ba said. At this time, a woman with disheveled hair , reappeared not far in front of me, and my first instinct told me that this must be the female corpse in the coffin again.
At this moment, all the hairs on my body stood up, cold sweat instantly accumulated all over my body, and my whole back was feeling the cool breeze. My breathing began to become rapid again, and I couldn’t see the woman’s face clearly.
, her figure flickered in the light, but I knew very well that she was getting closer to me little by little.
Her face gradually became clearer, and her blood-red eyes appeared again. When people are in extreme fear, they will become crazy and angry, and now I am completely crazy.
I stared with angry eyes and picked up the spear gun fiercely. But just when I was about to launch the spear gun, my eyes suddenly went dark and I couldn't see anything. Someone behind me covered my eyes with their hands.
Diving goggles, I instinctively wanted to resist, but these hands held my face tightly.
I thought about what Jiao Ba said, maybe all this is an illusion, so I simply stopped struggling. No matter who was behind me, he must be one of ours, so I just let him cover my diving goggles.
I couldn't see anything anymore, there were no ghost figures, and there was no face of the female corpse. My panic calmed down a little.
After about five minutes, the hands covering my eyes moved away, and the corridor returned to its original state, still dead silent, and the light in my hand no longer flickered.
Everything that happened disappeared in an instant. It was really like an hallucination, a dream-like hallucination.
I turned around and looked around. Jiao Ba was standing behind me. He nodded to me. I glanced at the others again. Li Xin and Shunzi had also returned to their usual calmness. It seemed that everyone had spent this time.
After the first pass, Li Xin also glanced at me. Her eyes were very strange. I couldn't describe what kind of expression it was.
I didn't have time to pay attention to her. What I want to know most now is where is this toxin that can cause hallucinations hidden in the sunken ship?
Mai Lao saw that everyone was fine and had finally weathered the false alarm safely. He waved his hand for us to continue the march. The seven of us went upstream to the second floor and started another survey. The second floor was different from the first floor.
There is a slight difference, the aisle is a little narrower than the first floor.
We all dispersed and surveyed the second cabin as quickly as possible. I continued to march deeper into the aisle, heading towards the last room. I would always unknowingly think of the previous one in my mind.
Big wooden box, that wooden box gives me a strange feeling. Why are there no wooden boxes in all the cabins on the first floor, but only the last one? What does this mean? What is so special about this wooden box?
?
I still couldn't figure it out. In order to prove that I wasn't paranoid, I decided to go directly to the last cabin on the second floor to investigate. It was the same old trick. After opening the cabin door, I quickly backed away and pointed the speargun at the cabin door.
, waited for a while, and then marched in after confirming that it was safe.
After looking around for a while with the lighting, I finally found a different cabin. This was a rest cabin with beds, some corroded bedding and clothes, a few cabinets, and some small boxes on the ground.
I checked carefully and found that this cabin had obviously been rummaged through. The contents inside were scattered all over the place, just like a dilapidated warehouse.
I searched for a while but couldn't find anything of value. There was neither jewelry nor gold or silver. It was all useless junk. I didn't even see a piece of porcelain. Of course, I didn't
Saw someone's body.
In order not to waste time, I quickly exited this cabin and continued to the next one. After inspecting three cabins in a row, I became a little bit frustrated. All three cabins were rest cabins, but this rest cabin was really
It's so simple. Each one is almost carved out of the same mold. It's no different from the rest cabin I first surveyed. Even the furnishings are the same.
There was nothing except the junk. Logically speaking, there should be people living in the rest cabin. Not to mention the gold, silver and jewelry, but why was there not even a corpse? Where had all the people in the cabin gone?
This sunken ship is really weird. It looks like an ordinary granary ship on the outside, but in fact it is nothing like that at all. The rest cabin is so crude that it is a bit unreasonable.
Now I can only place my hope on other people. I hope Mai Lao and the others can find something valuable. Then I quickly exited the cabin, and the others came back one after another. The big guys quickly exchanged information.
The result was the same as what I saw, still nothing.
The entire second-level cabins are all rest cabins, but the layout is exactly the same without any changes. This alone is enough to be evil. Moreover, there are no bones or anything in all the cabins.
The precious items, except for the bedding and clothing corroded by the sea water, are only the incomplete furnishings.
How could there be nothing? Everyone is a little frustrated. We have been at sea for so many days. We thought that if we found this sunken ship, we would find the treasure we dreamed of. But now let alone the treasure, there is not even a broken bottle.
There's not even a broken bowl, it's just a useless ship.
Mai Lao looked at all of us, his face looked a little ugly. Li Xin and Shunzi were also communicating with each other with their eyes. Everyone was full of doubts about the sunken ship, but they couldn't find any clues. This was the most frustrating thing.
A place where people are helpless.
Jiao Ba suddenly gestured, 'No, it shouldn't be that simple.'
I glanced at him, and I damn well knew it wasn't that simple, but now that the facts were in front of me, what could I do? I saw all the cabins on the upper and lower floors, and there was no bullshit, unless there was another cabin.
When I thought of this, I was shocked. Yes, there should be another layer. Why didn't I think of it? Maybe there might be a dark layer under the first layer. I thought of it again.
That big wooden box, maybe the answer lies on that wooden box.
I quickly asked everyone to follow me. I quickly returned to the first floor and went straight to the last cabin. A group of us swam into the cabin. The big wooden box was still standing at the cabin door. I motioned to a few people to come over and help put the wooden box away.
Although the wooden box was empty, it was very heavy and dead. It took several of us a long time to move it.
After the wooden box was removed, I quickly used a light to look underneath. After searching for a moment, my eyes suddenly lit up. I found a metal handle in a very inconspicuous position on the edge of the cabin door.
I stepped forward and grabbed the handle, held my breath, and pulled it up hard. With two consecutive efforts, I really pulled up the wooden board below. A dark layer like an tunnel appeared in the
