The existing clues are all moving closer to Lu Li's speculation. For example, the black shadows on the deck are indeed missing one.
So if this boat is one of the fishing boats lost in the hurricane...why did it become like this?
Those seafood in the bottom cabin...those strange shadows with fish characteristics, where did they come from?
Lu Li uncovered a corner of the veil and discovered that there was a larger veil underneath.
But one thing is certain. These are definitely related to black matter.
Even if it is not directly responsible, it is also an indirect cause——
When-when-when-
The sudden ringing of a bell interrupted Lu Li's thinking. He looked up and looked out the window, remembering that the glass was covered with black material, returned to the door, moved his chair, opened the door and walked to the corridor.
Lu Li couldn't tell the source of the bell. It definitely didn't sound on this sailing boat. It seemed to come from somewhere in the vast surrounding deep sea, and it seemed to come from the void.
The last time the bell rang was meal time.
Lu Li looked towards the deck. Those shadows stood there, indifferent to the rapid sound of bells that echoed over the sailboat.
Lu Li planned to return to the cabin for the time being, but when he returned to the upper cabin, he suddenly found that the entrance was blocked by countless vines, and vague and non-existent chaotic mumbling sounds came from the other side of the vines.
The cabin and deck are divided into two sides by vines.
This change made the situation become full of uncertainty in an instant, as if what was about to happen on the deck——
Lu Li took a step forward, preparing to touch the vine to let it open the gap, when he suddenly felt a wet and sticky feeling under his feet.
Lu Li lowered his head and found that there was an extra layer of black substance on the wooden board at some point, seeping out from above. This kind of stuff was not only appearing under his feet, but also on the entire deck. And it continued to rise, flooding the deck.
This is the culprit behind the entire ship being covered in a black substance.
Lu Li walked up the stairs without thinking, wanting to return to the uppermost cabin, when a scene suddenly flashed through his mind.
Even the ceiling in the captain's cabin, which is the highest on the entire sailboat, was stained with black material.
Although it is impossible to confirm whether that is related to the scene before me, it illustrates one point - there is no use hiding in high places in front of black matter.
So where to hide?
The black material has already reached the ankles. This height is enough to overflow the hull of the ship, but the fact is that the black material is still rising.
Lu Li turned his head and looked at the shadows on the deck.
They stand there...
Lu Li suddenly ran towards the group of strange standing shadows.
From thinking to making a decision, everything happened in just a few seconds. But even so, the rising black substance had washed up to the height of his ankles. Lu Li's power passed quickly, and it was only about 20 meters from the front of the cabin to the deck where the shadow stood.
He ran for nearly ten seconds, and when his energy was almost exhausted, he arrived at the empty space in the shadow.
As soon as he stepped into the queue, Lu Li's body suddenly relaxed, as if all the negative situations were removed in an instant.
Lu Li lowered his head. The black substance was still rising. His thighs were completely submerged by the black substance, but it had no effect on him. It was like an invisible film appeared outside the skin, blocking the black substance from infecting him.
Lu Li calmed down and stood in the queue, observing the humanoid shadows around him with his peripheral vision.
Their legs seemed to be rooted on the deck, and only their upper bodies swayed with the ups and downs of the sailboat.
They are alive...
Are they standing here just to avoid the invasion of black matter...
The black substance on the deck had spread to his chest. If Lu Li had still stayed outside, he would have been unable to move at this moment and fell on the deck. As for whether he drowned in the black substance or was transformed into something weird by the black substance... Lu Li didn't know.
His neck, jaw, mouth and nose, and even his eyes. Lu Li's surroundings instantly fell into complete darkness.
His dark eyes narrowed slightly. Lu Li was worried that this darkness would cause him to suffer a night disaster, but as time passed, nothing happened around him.
The black matter is still "protecting" it to some extent.
Waiting in the darkness became torturous and the time became long. Lu Li kept track of the time in his mind. When the number was about to count to 1,000, the black matter began to fall back like an ebbing tide.
His eyes were exposed, then his neck and chest.
The time it takes for them to appear and disappear is consistent with the canteen.
The last trace of black substance sank into the cracks in the deck, and the tide receded, leaving behind a sticky trace that was the same as before, but different.
It seems that the reason why this ship is full of black matter has been found.
The last time the black tide appeared two hours ago, will the next time be two hours later?
Leaning forward slightly, Lu Li planned to leave the queue and return to the cabin entrance to observe the situation.
Also doing the same thing were the twenty-four shadows around him.
Lu Li's movements stopped for an instant, but they didn't. The strange shadows dispersed and moved towards various parts of the deck.
A lone shadow that seemed to be the captain walked towards the upper cabin, and other scattered shadows were scattered on the deck, performing strange activities. Some two or three shadows got together, or sat down on the deck, or were cleaning the deck.
behavior, even though there was no mop or bucket.
They maintained all the behaviors they had in life, but none of them made a sound.
A bizarre silent pantomime.
The missing position is Haben, Haben is a sailor...
Lu Li was the last to leave his seat. He walked towards the cabin and thought about how he should act as a sailor.
This was not very difficult for him. He had just played the role of a maintenance worker not long ago. He only had to do what a sailor needs to do.
Lu Li pretended to have a mop in his hand, bent down and dragged it towards the cabin.
As he slowly approached the cabin, Lu Li secretly observed everything on the deck. No shadow approached the cabin, and the strange figures did not approach the deck. It was as if the ship was divided into two parts.
Returning to the cabin, Lu Li looked inside. The barrier made of vines had disappeared, and obvious color differences could be observed in the black traces inside and outside the barrier.
The vines are protecting the strange figures in the lower cabin, just like the last time the bell rang.
What awaited Lu Li was two choices: pretending to be a sailor and staying on the deck, or pretending to be a maintenance worker and returning to the cabin.
Returning to the lower cabin may have allowed Lu Li to escape the next black tide, but the inexplicably opened morgue made Lu Li realize that the lower cabin was by no means as simple as he had experienced. And if an accident occurred, it would be difficult for him to escape.
Staying in the upper cabin can also avoid the black tide through special methods, but the judgment of the shadows is just a guess made by Lu Li. Lu Li doesn't know if there will be any new changes. But if an accident occurs, Lu Li can try to jump into the sea instead of being trapped to death.
Survive.
He had already found the lifebuoy hanging on the side of the boat.
On one side is a deck that is layered with weirdness, but where you can find the rules of action. On the other side is a cabin where you can move freely, but where dangers are hidden.
Lu Li chose to stay on the deck.
On this ship, the danger may not lead to Lu Li's death, but carelessness will.
