On the Boston-Atlantic-Panama Canal-Pacific route, a cruise ship quietly discharged the water and sailed into the distance.
The cruise ship looks very majestic up close, and its name is taken from the myth and legend - "Hydra".
From the high observation deck of the Hydra, there was a series of footsteps, and the employees who came to change shifts smiled and greeted David Smith.
"Oh, dear boy, now I can go east and enjoy a beautiful night."
David also showed a smile, stretched out his leg and gave a high-five to the crew member who was changing the shift. He looked at the observation tower for the last time and the dark night. There were no stars in the sky, not even the moon, otherwise it would be like this
Disturbing.
The weather was bitingly cold, and although the boats to the east were busy, the observation deck was not lonely or deserted.
He has been guarding the lookout for a whole day, so it's time for him to go and rest.
The crew member who changed the shift casually asked, "Did nothing happen?"
"Of course not." David said casually, "Except whether two big fish jumped on the water at midnight, there is nothing wrong with it."
Is the ship's route a safe route that has been proven, there are not many rocks, and they are not heading north, so they will not encounter the tragedy of the Titanic.
The lookout position at the port is necessary to observe emergencies on the sea surface at any time. David is one of them.
"There seems to be some movement in the east of the sea." The watchman who was on duty was a newbie who was not very experienced. He looked uneasily at the sea that merged with the dark night.
"Ignore it." David said casually, "The fish in Haidong are attracted by the boat's motive. Isn't that a normal thing?"
"No?" The watchman on duty nodded, they chatted casually for a few more words, and then David walked east to the watchtower.
When passing by the first-class restaurant, it was brightly lit, and David glanced at it inadvertently.
He found a few explorer-looking people gathered together, seemingly discussing something. Among them, he saw the red-haired lady that the crew was talking about so much.
Then the others should ask whether the eldest lady invited the expedition team from Miskatonic University to the ship. Out of curiosity, David couldn't help but take a second look.
He was an old sailor who had been wandering at sea for many years. When he had just joined the job a few years ago, an experienced sailor warned him that he would meet archaeologists and expedition teams at sea...especially Miska.
If you go to Tonic University, you must avoid it as much as possible, otherwise you will be plagued by bad luck.
David had never met that kind of person, so he didn't really believe it.
There are always some strange rumors on the sea, but most of them are just rumors without any reason. Maybe they are rumors made up by some waterleg who disliked the island.
David looked around and left. After all, those people looked no different from ordinary people.
He soon arrived at the restaurant on the first floor to the east.
There were several crew members from the Hydera walking around there. It was late at night and the dining guests had already left. Apart from those few people, the restaurant was empty.
Among the flight attendants who were serving the guests during dinner, some were happily discussing anecdotes about the passengers on the ship, and were talking about the scholar on the expedition, Howard Wilson, who caught the thief.
"He didn't react at all. Mr. Wilson over there just slapped the thief down. Even the security guards on the ship may not have that kind of body and legs. Look at him, he doesn't look like a scholar at all." The waiter said enthusiastically.
Discussing animatedly what happened in Hongtian.
"The clothes don't look like that. How can any professor be so shivering in clothes? He eats as if he has been hungry for three days and three nights, and the feeling of shutting up is a bit strange. If he doesn't come with Miss Ellis, he will be very
Do you think there are some thieves on the boat?"
"Maybe great scholars are so weird." The person next to him agreed.
"That's wrong. Besides thieves, there seem to be other dangerous people on the ship. How's it going?" That's because the crew members had been on other things before, so he missed the Dongwu search, so he was a little worried.
"They found the bomb very quickly, but the suspicious person was never found." Another person who participated said casually, "It shouldn't cause any trouble."
At that moment, they spotted David who had just come in and welcomed him warmly.
"Hi, Dongban, his friend!"
"Of course," David greeted the crew with a smile. He was very popular on the ship and everyone was happy to get along with him.
Just as he was walking to eat and chat, there was a collision, as if something with a carapace or scales hit a pillar. The vibration seemed to come from the depths of the ship. The vibration was not too serious, but it was not enough.
Interrupting the crew's mistakes.
Even the decorative vases placed on the table were shaken slightly.
"Why are there so many fish coming tomorrow?" David swallowed the last piece of bread in his mouth and muttered in confusion.
"That doesn't seem to be the noise outside." The waiter on the side raised a question in a low voice.
"The outside of the cabin... seems to be in the lowest warehouse." Others also chimed in.
"Is there something wrong with the goods?" David shook his head. He was not the one who managed the warehouse anyway, so that matter should have nothing to do with him.
But after he had eaten and drank, he suddenly became interested. It happened that he also knew the warehouse manager, so he stopped by to help him look at the warehouse.
He took a flashlight with his leg and walked straight into the dark depths of the cabin.
There was a ticking sound coming from nowhere, as if there was water dripping somewhere.
But there shouldn't be any leaks in that airtight cabin.
Quiet, there is no sound except the sound of dripping water.
A hoarse scratching sound came from the east side of the ground, and it would have been almost impossible to detect it unless it was too quiet.
Something strange was scratching across the floor...
Or not…
Climb?
Just judging from the sound, it looks like some kind of huge thing that is beyond expectation.
An indescribable shock struck David like an electric shock.
Is there some kind of fish?
Are fish crawling on the deck?
The fish is not that big at all!
So what exactly did he hear?
He was not far from the warehouse. When he opened the door on the east steps, a fishy smell seemed to gradually spread in the darkness.
The light of the leg flashlight was also squeezed by the darkness, leaving only a beam of light.
David staggered and tried to retreat, but he unconsciously turned around and tried to escape.
The scarlet crescent moon hung high in the darkness, illuminating his face twisted with fear.
