The small passenger ship dropped its anchor and floated quietly on the sea a few nautical miles away from Crescent Bay.
The hustle and bustle of Rodeste Port is within sight, but this passenger ship full of passengers anchored strangely outside the harbor and stopped motionless on the vast sea.
Even stranger things were the crew and passengers walking around on the deck.
The observation sailor on the mast climbed up the mast to look towards Rodeste Harbor, then climbed back to the deck, stayed briefly and then climbed up the mast again to look towards Rodeste Harbor.
On the deck, a group of lovers hugged each other and pointed at the hazy Belfast in the rain. After retracting their arms for a few seconds, they pointed at Belfast again.
The crew member cleaning the deck bent down to wipe the floor, stepped back to continue wiping, then stepped forward to wipe, and then stepped back to wipe.
The hat of the young passenger in front of the deck railing was blown off by the wind. He caught up with the rolling hat with a surprised look on his face, dusted off the dust and put it on again, and returned to the railing. A gust of wind blew by, and his hat was blown off again, revealing
Shocked young passenger chases hat.
An old couple walked tremblingly in circles on the upper deck with crutches, children ran around on the deck without stopping, and the crew members huddled under the mast and hugged each other tightly sneezed every few seconds.
The passengers and crew on the deck were stiffly doing the same actions over and over again, and the unsettling weirdness was buried under the lively surface.
Anna, who couldn't understand Lu Li's behavior at first, gradually realized the noisy silence on the deck. After Lu Li stopped reciting the numbers silently, she said: "There is something wrong with this ship."
Anna, who was worried about letting Lu Li set foot on the passenger ship, continued: "You stay on the ship and I'll go over and take a look."
"be safe."
The wooden boat was rocking with the current, and Lu Li put his hand on the holster of his gun.
"Um."
Anna's soft hum came from the void, and then Lu Li felt that the surroundings became empty.
The counter that beeps slowly at intervals of tens of seconds no longer makes a sound.
Lu Li looked at the repeated figures on the deck. After a few minutes, the sanity counter jumped.
Anna's voice sounded next to her: "This ship is strangely tainted."
"It looks normal on the surface. If you don't look closely, it looks like a normal ship, but the interior walls and ceiling are covered in disgusting flesh and blood, beating like living creatures." Anna's tone contained disgust for the scene she had seen before.
"Where are those people?" Lu Li pointed to the figures on the deck.
After a brief silence, Anna replied in a low voice: "...Their heads were pierced, and they were empty inside. Some of their bodies were severely rotten."
They have long since died, and there may even be no living people on the ship. Only their bodies are left at the mercy of the weird things in the cabin, hiding them from the eyes of outsiders.
"I didn't see anyone alive. The host of the tentacles may be dead. We can go find the last tentacle."
Lu Li shook his head and answered Anna: "But what if the initiator is the host or the bloody tentacles have parasitized the weirdness?"
"We can get the United to send someone to help."
"It takes too much time."
Anna's voice was filled with unwillingness and worry: "But I don't want you to take risks."
"If you want to reach the safe other shore, you have to go through the rough waves." Lu Li replied.
The bloody tentacles and the door are the sword of Damocles hanging above his head. If he doesn't deal with them, Lu Li will never be truly safe.
Lu Li persuaded Anna. Although she knew that the so-called "other shore" was not safe, the hopeful and beautiful description of the "future" was indeed very tempting.
Before boarding the Silent Passenger Ship, Anna told Lu Li the details of what she discovered: those figures, those flesh and blood.
Anna has an inherent advantage in dealing with them - physical enemies are much easier to deal with than intangible enemies.
Protecting Lu Li, Anna controlled her power to lift him up and float him to the deck of the Silent Passenger Ship.
clatter--
Lu Li fell into the empty space on the deck, and the dead bodies around him remained silent, repeating the same thing strangely, until they chased after the stiff body that blew off its hat and approached Lu Li.
Da da da da——
The body of the dead young passenger bent down to pick up the hat that had stopped rolling. His movements suddenly stopped, and he slowly raised his head with a bloody hole on top of his head. His eyes covered with gray mist-like turbidity fell on Lu Li.
The stiff sound of footsteps all around disappeared at this moment.
Lu Li looked around. The bodies that had been doing their own things all stopped and looked at Lu Li coldly and numbly.
At this moment, the distant squeaking sound of the ship's bones deforming suddenly echoed below the deck, and the ship's hull suddenly shook inexplicably.
The staggering Lu Li was supported by Anna, who was always alert to her surroundings. Countless falling sounds were heard on the deck.
Bang——
The bodies of the crew members fell off the mast and broke their necks.
But they quickly got up stiffly and walked toward Lu Li.
Crash, crash, crash -
There was a faint sound of chains shaking on the deck, and Anna, who realized something, whispered: "This ship... is weird and wants to leave."
The anchor is rising rapidly.
Facing the body of the crew member crawling toward Lu Li with his neck swung, Anna gathered the spear in her palm and threw it gently.
There was a sharp draft in the air, and the crew's body was penetrated by an invisible spear through the back and nailed to the deck.
But the crewman's body did not die again. He was still paddling his hands and feet, trying to get closer to Lu Li.
"Destroy the heart and brain." Lu Li said, looking down at the body.
Two blasts of sound were heard one after another, and the crew members' heads were pinned tightly against the deck.
But his body is still moving in place.
The other approaching bodies were blown away by Anna. They were far weaker than expected, and they were making slow and stiff movements with their human bodies.
Maybe that's why the weirdos below decks want to escape?
Lu Li frowned slightly as he observed the crucified body, and suddenly noticed a little detail.
"Let it get off the deck." He said. Under the deck where the transparent spear penetrated, there was a strange blood vein surging.
"Um."
Anna nodded lightly, dismissed the spear that penetrated the crew member's body, and lifted it up.
A strange scene occurred. In the gaps between the decks, red veins as fine as blood vessels connected the crew members' bodies. As the crew members were suddenly lifted up, they were torn and broken. They crawled back under the gaps in the deck like living creatures, and the bodies that were disconnected from the blood-red veins were
The body has also lost its "vitality".
"The weirdness controls them."
Anna whispered, her red eyes turned around, and she gently raised her palm.
The dozen or so bodies surrounding Lu Li floated up out of thin air, then disconnected from their cobweb-like veins and hung down without moving.
At the same time, Anna turned her head and looked at the original body of the crew member.
An unwilling and incomplete soul emerged from the body, approaching Lu Li as if it had only instinct, but was blocked by Anna's protection, lingering around Lu Li.
"Wait a minute."
When Anna took action to erase the incomplete soul, Lu Li called out to her.
