In the VIP private room on the second floor of the Kaleidoscope, everyone was stunned, looking at the scorching fireball in the middle.
The flames did not spread, but only clung to the poor guy. He did not even utter a scream, and within ten seconds, he turned into a ball of fine black and white fly ash, leaving no bones or cloth behind.
Next.
This inexplicable flame appeared out of thin air and burned too fast, far exceeding the speed of normal fire.
In the blink of an eye, a living person is gone.
Others were shocked by this scene, and they seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeats.
Victor looked up at Josh, and then at Thomas Cornish, who had sobered up. Everyone, including the annoying Pierce and Whedon, looked as if they had seen a ghost.
"Ah~!!"
The commotion came from the gambling hall downstairs, and screams appeared one after another. The people there were extremely frightened, and they were also facing terrible things.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There were messy footsteps everywhere on the corridor and deck. Agents from the famous intelligence bureau and Thomas's security rushed into the private room at the same time. They reported the same thing to their superiors and bosses respectively!
"Mr. Thomas! Many people on board are on fire!"
At that moment, there were various numbers of gamblers and staff in the casino, and even an agent from the Inspection Bureau, all spontaneously ignited inexplicably, and it only lasted for more than ten seconds. These people were chosen by hell.
All the people turned into ashes all over the ground.
"What did you say? Are you sure you saw it clearly?!" Thomas threw away the cigar in his hand and loudly asked the security guard who reported.
What was originally thought to be an accidental incident actually happened on the entire ship.
"Chief Inspector Josh! Delete...he...he died just now..." The detective was also frightened.
Josh was breathing rapidly. He picked up his hat and put it on, and said to the others next to him: "Where is the captain? In the bridge?"
Thomas' solemn expression proved that even he was nervous.
"Go to that idiot and ask him to drive the ship back to the port first."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sailor opened the door of the private room again, stumbled in, and cried to Thomas: "Mr. Thomas! Something bad happened! The captain is dead!"
Thomas was originally going to ask his subordinate to hand him the gun, but when he heard this, he became furious: "What do you mean?! Say it again?!"
"The captain was murdered! His body was lying in the cab!"
Now everyone finally heard it clearly, and everyone took a deep breath.
Victor's right eyelid twitched, and he quickly made a gesture while no one was paying attention.
Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao...
The thumb fell on Chikou!
"Chikou...it is even more important to guard against curses, for fear of contracting diseases."
This is the same hexagram he drew when he encountered a deformed monster in the forest!
The initial premonition was correct. Sure enough, something strange happened on this ship again!
"Let's go to the bridge to check." Josh suggested, so Thomas led everyone out of the private room in a hurry, pushing away the panicked crowd along the way.
Sweat broke out on Victor's forehead, but he didn't dare to stay here alone.
He hid behind everyone and followed them all the way.
While on the outer porch, one of Thomas' subordinates pointed to the stalled paddle wheel and exclaimed: "Boss, the paddle wheel is not turning. We are now floating in the middle of the lake without power."
"Damn...what's going on?" Thomas said, kicking the sailor on the butt. "You, go find the helmsman and the first mate! Where are those idiots hiding?
”
"The first mate is missing, we can't find him!" The sailor cried anxiously.
"Where's the second mate? Where's the third mate? Where's the boatswain?!"
"Kaleidoscope doesn't have a second mate, sir!" the sailor shouted.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a scorching heat burst out of his chest and completely enveloped it in the blink of an eye, forming a fireball in the crowd, startling everyone.
The sailor who was still talking suddenly turned into a ball of dazzling flames, and the flames shot into the sky.
He waved his hands, and in the severe burning pain, he only wanted to extinguish the flames on his body. He had no choice but to climb over the railing of the outer verandah, and fell headlong into the sparkling lake water.
But before he was completely thrown into the water, the flames suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the poor guy turned into ashes and scattered on the lake.
At the same time, instantaneous flames appeared everywhere on the ship. Dozens of people were also burning at that moment. Screams came one after another, and the entire ship fell into complete chaos.
Pierce was very close to the sailor who spontaneously combusted, and saw the terrifying scene of the entire ship. He was suddenly frightened to the point where his legs weakened, and he collapsed to the ground and started crying.
A group of police officers retrieved their weapons and came downstairs to meet Josh.
Josh reacted quickly. After getting the bullets and gun, he quickly asked three subordinates to go to the lifeboat to guard it.
"I'm going to go ahead and attack you indiscriminately?"
Victor took a deep breath and once again silently retreated behind everyone, letting them take the lead into the cab.
Soon, they climbed up the bridge, and Thomas' thugs kicked open the cab door.
There is nothing special about the layout inside. The rudder stands in the center, with various instruments behind it. The captain who was supposed to be at the helm is currently lying on the table next to the rudder, with the whole navigation under his chest.
The scarlet blood in the picture has five or six bullet holes on its back.
The smell of blood hit his nostrils, and Thomas' violent temper was aroused again.
"Where's the helmsman! If we don't have a first mate or a second mate, we have to have a helmsman! Let him come and steer the ship!"
Thomas's call went unanswered. His subordinates had been following the team, and they had no idea where the helmsman had gone. Perhaps he had turned to ashes in the two spontaneous combustion accidents just now.
"You two!" Thomas pushed his two men out of the cab door, "Quickly find someone! Find someone who can drive a boat!"
After driving away the two men, Thomas grabbed another subordinate and threw him out of the door, asking him to protect his son.
At this time, Josh got close to the rudder, checked it carefully and said: "These instrument indexes are abnormal... It may be that the power system has failed. The problem is in the equipment room. You should go to the chief engineer..." p>
He reminded Thomas, who then yelled and led people out of the cab, walked down the bridge, and went below the deck.
A group of people followed him from top to bottom. At this time, gunshots were heard from the direction of the front deck, and a group of frightened gamblers clashed with Thomas' security.
The extremely panicked people vented their anger and fear on the casino organizer. Another wave of gunshots was heard, followed by a burst of fire, and the third self-immolation occurred!
As Thomas's subordinates and an Intelligence Bureau agent spontaneously combusted at the same time, they turned into two balls of flames next to Pierce.
"Ah~~!" Pierce was so frightened that he cowered in the corner of the corridor. Victor quickly retreated, fearing that the flames would spread to him.
The third wave... is it random? Everyone will die?
Although Victor didn't scream, he was still very scared and didn't know if it would be his turn next.
And at the same time, this idea is like a lingering haze, hanging over everyone's heads, and everyone is thinking about it.
At this time, three staff members rushed up from below the deck. Their expressions were full of horror. There was blood everywhere on their bodies. The original color of their clothes could no longer be distinguished, as if they had been soaked in a sea of blood.
"Monster!! There is a monster in the engine room!"
