Chapter 24: "Time is running out."
Wuji Gu suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
The strong line of sight coming from the window, gave him the feeling that he had nothing to hide, as if everything about himself was exposed to the eyes of that unknown being.
Wuji Gu lifted the covers and slowly went to the window to look out, it was early in the morning, the sky was not yet light, the ship itself illuminated part of the sea, but below it was still bottomless darkness.
But he knows very well what kind of terrifying existence is hidden under this pitch black. Far more intimidating than those corpses.
"Is this really just a normal copy?"
Wuji Gu couldn't help but think this way.
At that moment, Wuji Gu suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps, which could easily be noticed coming from the room next door, where Zheng was resting.
He listened intently, and then came the sound of a few words next door, as if afraid of being too loud to be noticed, and then the sound of footsteps became much lighter, and came the sound of closing the door.
"What are they doing so late at night? Are they encountering ghosts?" Wuji Gu pondered, "No, if they encounter a ghost they should call for help or run away quickly, it is not possible to keep their voices low and look like they are afraid of being discovered."
"They must be going to do something based on the clues they got." Ling Jiang's voice sounded steeply, "Maybe they just want to leave us behind and go off on their own."
"When did you wake up?" Wuji Gu turned his head with some surprise.
"When you woke up." Ling Jiang probably explained, "After all, in such a copy of the world do not know when to die, who can be so easily asleep, I heard the movement and woke up."
Wuji Gu nodded his head, Ling Jiang's words are very understandable, although he himself every time a pillow will be a dead sleep ......
"The attitude of Zheng and the others was already very strange, and they were too resistant to us, as if they were afraid that we would find out what secrets they were hiding, and by definition even if they were vigilant, they should not be so resistant to cooperate with others." Ling Jiang said, "In that case, maybe they have got some key clues and are sure enough of themselves to leave, and are afraid that we will spoil their business, which is why they have been hiding it."
Ling Jiang to Zheng they simply do not have a good feeling, said here is a snicker.
"They think they have a clue and they are foolproof, but this ship where so simple ...... estimates that they will run into trouble this time, and maybe their lives will not be saved."
"Let's follow it up and see." Wuji Gu quickly spoke up.
Ling Jiang did not stop, after all, Zheng and their hands of clues may really be extremely important things, otherwise it would be more in his interest to let those guys die.
The two opened the door, Zheng and their figures already do not know where to go, not even a little movement can not hear.
"How can they be so fast?" Ling Jiang frowned, then suddenly realized something, "No, it's the corridor here that's the problem."
In the daytime this section of the corridor is not long, but at this time is a lot longer, the walls are also damp, the surrounding light is like a power shortage of dim, I do not know where is the sound of water dripping.
It would be strange to say that there are no ghosts, I just wonder if Zheng and the others will be trapped here as well.
"Let's go." Wuji Gu took a direct step forward.
Ling Jiang looked at Wuji Gu so calmly, slightly calmed down, also followed along. He still has a lot of trust in Wuji Gu, the other side is directly from the ghost to grab the props of people ah.
And Ling Jiang is very clear, many times in the copy of the danger, escape is just the worst choice, only to go hard to face to get more clues, in the danger increases at the same time, get the harvest will also increase.
Ling Jiang asked, "What do we do now?"
"Let's go to the place where the sound came from." Wuji Gu made the decision on the fly.
The two advanced down the corridor, with uncomfortable sightings coming from the cat's eyes of the doors of the rooms around them along the way, as if someone inside was staring at them.
Ling Jiang noticed this and simply tingled, forcing himself to keep his eyes open.
After crossing a corner, the source of the sound suddenly appeared in front of them.
It was a middle-aged man whose clothes were all wet, and he was standing stiffly in front of the door at that moment, his face a blue-white hue in the dim light, his eyes almost falling out of their sockets.
"I never thought I'd see you guys again."
Ling Jiang instantly recognized that this person was the ghost who wanted to shake hands with Sidun Ao at the banquet, but in the end it was Wuji Gu who came forward to solve the problem.
Wuji Gu looked down at the hand he had shaken with the other side earlier, and somehow the sleeves had been stained, and the water stains on his clothes continued to spread at a slow pace.
The middle-aged man looked at Wuji Gu and pulled out an ecstatic smile, which made people feel physically uncomfortable, the eyes were more protruding, and the next moment, one of the eyeballs actually fell out directly, just rolled down to the front of Wuji Gu's shoes with blood.
"Can you help me?" The middle-aged man's hoarse voice rang out.
"Help you with what?" Wuji Gu actually opened his mouth subconsciously as if he was bewitched by the ghost.
Ling Jiang cold sweat are down, quickly tried to pull Wuji Gu, in the face of such ghosts if you follow the other side of the thinking, absolutely only one way to die! Wuji Gu before is not such a person ah ...... wait, before he really seems to be such a person.
"I dropped my eye, just pick it up for me." The middle-aged man's voice carried a kind of hypocrisy, "I will definitely repay you well."
"Of course it's no problem." Wuji Gu, such a good man, of course, was quick to answer, and said he leaned down to pick up the eye.
"Wait, you should not be so impulsive--" Ling Jiang anxiously looked at the eye on the ground, the words only halfway through the words stuck in his throat ...... he stared at the eye, only to think that Wuji Gu is now doing just a normal thing. The look of a bewildered, only think Wuji Gu is now doing just a very normal thing, he just why to remind each other to come?
The middle-aged man saw such a scene, the only remaining eyeball in the ecstasy of the more even more hidden a few points of resentment.
Wuji Gu After picking that eye up, the middle-aged man's voice became more and more indistinct, "Good, thank you so much ...... but I don't need this eye anymore, so I'll give it to you."
Wuji Gu listened to him as if he was a little bewildered, and lifted up this eye and gazed at it steadily.
The middle-aged man has almost seen the image of how the living man afterwards snapped out his own eye and then shoved this eye hard into the eye socket -
Then Wuji Gu , shaking his head, just reached out and shoved the eye directly into the middle-aged man's eye socket.
Middle-aged male ghost: "?"
"I appreciate the thought, though." Wuji Gu politely spoke, "But I don't need it if my eyes are still fine, it feels like you should be the one who needs it more, no need to thank me."
It's not that easy for Wuji Gu to be fooled by ghosts, like the spam emails that scammers send to cell phones.
The middle-aged male ghost reacted to what happened, panicked and hurried to grab his eyeballs out, but before he could do it, the eyes that were stuffed into his sockets flew blood-filled and rose, almost bursting the eye sockets directly.
You can imagine what will happen if the person who is confused will have the eyeball mounted on his face.
The male ghost's face immediately emerged with a look of extreme pain, looking at Wuji Gu's eyes full of resentment and anger, opening his mouth and biting in his direction.
Wuji Gu pulled Ling Jiang to the side to avoid the male ghost's attack. Only after Ling Jiang was stimulated did he realize what had just happened.
"Oh no, let's run away." Ling Jiang Jiang face cold sweat are down, said in a rapid speech: "This ghost's eyes are estimated to create some kind of illusion, now seems to have lost its effect ...... we run now should ...... " Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m n0v𝒆lb(i)n.c(o)/m
As he said this, he suddenly remembered how the male ghost's eyes were out of action, and the words that followed actually couldn't be said!
In the middle of Ling Jiang's speech, the male ghost once again lunged towards Wuji Gu, and the momentum was almost as if he wanted to directly snap out Wuji Gu's eyes.
But in the next instant, because the eye swelled open again, the sharp pain and discomfort that brought the male ghost's face emerged with hideous veins, and his body stiffened under the pain.
Ling Jiang understood as soon as he saw it, this is definitely a good opportunity for them to escape!
The male ghost's angry and resentful voice rang out from behind, "Don't think you can escape! I will never let you go! As long as you are still on this ship, you will--"
"Who says we're running away."
Wuji Gu's voice sounded, and then he took advantage of the male ghost's body stiffness, seizing the opportunity to press the male ghost to the ground, his strength actually pressed the male ghost for a while can not get up, only struggling on the ground.
Ling Jiang stunned, "......"
Male Ghost: "?"
Wuji Gu then slowly and methodically removed the bloodstained rope from his arms.
Although the loss of this rope will lose most of its power for the ghost who hanged himself before, the middle-aged male ghost in front of him, after seeing the rope, was so shocked that his body trembled and changed his attitude quickly, "You, no, big brother, don't be impulsive, please, I just didn't think about it for a while before I did that to you, don't use this on me Ah--"
Wuji Gu originally just felt that the rope used to tie things just right, now see the middle-aged male ghost, but also feel that they found some kind of use for the rope, directly to tie him up.
[You have triggered the use of prop 'Bloodstained Rope']
['Blood-stained Rope' can bind ghosts below a certain level of strength, and the powerful resentment left on it will cause fear in the subconscious of even low-level ghosts. However, it cannot be used for too long, otherwise the prop will backfire.]
After the middle-aged male ghost was tied up, the whole person became depressed, which made Ling Jiang suspect that the image of the horrible-looking evil ghost seen before was also an illusion created by the eyeballs.
"I didn't want to do that originally, but you just had to force me like that." Wuji Gu sighed, his face full of regret, "If I could, I would like to get along with you."
The middle-aged male ghost in the heart of the dog, feel when this guy is good to get along with, clearly is a more than ghosts also deranged people, but under the pressure of the rope can only nod repeatedly, the attitude submissive to the extreme, "you are too right, I really too much, how can make such a beastly thing, actually want to persecute the living, I'm too deranged! "
Ling Jiang could not help but be silent, he still first time to see such a ghost of no temperament ah!
How about, in other copies of the time they are only being chased by ghosts, when have they seen the other side of the ghost, but after following Wuji Gu's side ......
"Good, now I have something I want you to do for me, as long as you can do it, I'll let you go." Wuji Gu didn't bother to talk so much with him.
"Of course it's no problem." The middle-aged male ghost couldn't stop nodding, with delight in his eyes, thinking to wait until the kid cut himself loose before thinking of ways to deal with them.
"The three people who left the cabin before us, did you ever notice them?" Wuji Gu asks about Zheng and the others.
"Those three people, ah, I originally wanted to lay hands on them, but because in you ...... left a mark on your big brother, so want to deal with them afterwards, so let them go for the time being." The middle-aged male ghost replied.
"Take us to them." Wuji Gu said.
Middle-aged male ghost: "But, I'm not sure they ......"
"You are a ghost, can't you do this kind of thing?" Wuji Gu looked a bit disappointed, "In that case, I don't seem to have any reason to release you even if I want to. Besides, you don't seem to be mentally normal, so releasing you might endanger other ordinary ghosts.
"No, of course I can!" The middle-aged male ghost heard the one word that frightened him and hastened to speak, "Although I didn't leave a mark on them, I can still feel roughly where they are now because they passed by the corridor and also infected my Yin Qi!"
Wuji Gu saw the situation and felt that his previous guess was right, these ghosts are actually afraid of seawater, also because of the presence at the bottom of the sea?
"Then good, by the way, you also tell me all the things on this ship well, know how much to say, I will not be difficult for you." Wuji Gu opened his mouth, "Of course, if you cheat, I will also find out, do not think of anything fluke."
"Yes, yes, how dare I lie to you, big brother?!"
For some reason, Ling Jiang actually had the illusion that Wuji Gu was squeezing a ghost, no, he must be overthinking it.
......
A darkened deck.
Zheng and his two companions are advancing carefully, afraid of attracting the attention of other ghosts around them, attracting trouble to themselves, they are only one or two life-saving props only.
They each carried backpacks filled with food and water from the ship and had absolutely no intention of going back.
"Brother Zheng, is it really good for us to just sneak in here by ourselves like this?" The woman inside couldn't help but speak up, "Those two players seem pretty reliable, I feel a little bad about doing this."
"What's wrong with that." Zheng, although he himself was a bit vain, but still ruthlessly said: "There are always some people to sacrifice in a copy, they do not know the clues themselves, and it is not our fault if they die."
He looked down again at the map he was holding, which was clearly a map of the structure of the cruise ship, clearly indicating where the lifeboats were.
There was also a newspaper with a corner missing, which had a detailed report of the cruise ship accident. Although there is no specific time on it, but from the photo with familiar faces on the death list, this is clearly what will happen after the cruise ship.
This time they also sacrificed quite a few points to get such detailed clues from others.
"That newspaper you have also seen, this ship will certainly be tomorrow night, only in the accident before the lucky ride on the lifeboat people survived, the other people left behind have all disappeared! We must now hurry to find the lifeboat, find the opportunity to ride on it."
The other two people heard Zheng's words, immediately remembered the previous ship held a banquet, the outside world with the storm appeared with those bodies is how terrible, suddenly tingling, also dare not say anything else.
They are afraid to continue to stay on this cruise ship anyway.
General ship's lifeboat are in a very conspicuous position, but this ship is completely different, even as if not even considered to let the people on board escape, hidden in the extremely hidden side, and even basically nothing tourists will come over here.
If there was no indication of this map, Zheng and others would not know where to find the lifeboats even if they had that newspaper.
Zheng and the others used the flashlight function of their cell phones to illuminate, and were careful in every move.
Finally arrived at the destination, see the lifeboat hanging outside the hull, they are also relieved, immediately stay over here to rest.
"However, since the ship will be so big things, just a lifeboat can really leave? The main line of tasks are not even completed ah." The woman was still a little worried.
"I don't think it's a big problem. Anyway, there are still two people around, and as time continues and these ghosts become stronger and stronger, they will definitely be able to discover the main task." Zheng said, "At that time, we will just walk away then."
Although this said, but his heart is also very bottomless, the pressure is great so Zheng can not help but want to smoke a cigarette to calm down, touched the right side of the man's arm, "take a cigarette to me to smoke."
The other side, however, did not move for half a day, can not help but make Zheng more agitated, are almost to break the curses, "sure it's okay, there is nothing to worry about!"
"Zheng, who are you talking to?" The woman's voice rang out with a bit of panic.
Zheng froze and turned his head to actually see the woman and male teammate standing right over there looking behind him with fearful eyes, and his body stiffened.
If that teammate had never come over, who was that beside him?
Zheng turned his head again with trepidation and saw a wet corpse appear beside him, and the soaked and swollen hands were about to touch his shoulders. He could even see that there were still corpses trying to climb up from the back of the boat's edge.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-"
Zheng in this instant, reflexively raised his hand, he has been wearing on the wrist of the watch immediately issued an unbearable sound, the hands on the fly turning, and soon the entire surface are directly broken open.
This is exactly the prop that Zheng luckily brought out from other copies before, the function is to be able to resist ghosts for a while, but it doesn't last too long, and can't deal with too advanced ghosts, of course now against this corpse is enough.
The body paused because of the watch, and Zheng took this opportunity to fly out, the other two came back to their senses, and immediately pulled their legs out and ran, not daring to stay here in the slightest.
Those corpses behind them followed with a bizarre speed, obviously it did not seem to run fast, but they soon arrived behind them, giving them a feeling of how they could not get rid of.
Zheng and others cold sweat are down, in order to enhance the speed had to drop all the heavy things such as backpacks on their bodies, but even so can not improve the speed too much, at this rate they will certainly be caught up by these corpses!
Just then, a bright light came from ahead, surprisingly, the patrol crew just came this way.
Zheng and the others ran forward as if they saw the hope of living, but when they saw the crew's face, they stopped in their tracks without even thinking about it. The man running in the forefront almost hit the body of the crew, and after he stopped his body with difficulty, he almost fell to the ground with weak legs.
The position of the crew's five senses can only be described as distorted and stained with blood, definitely not a living person!
Zheng three scared body stiff, how not even the last day, this ship is full of dead people, they should do in the end!
The ghost of the crew member, after noticing the three on this side, had a murderous intent on his face and a hand grabbed towards them.
In the nick of time, a sudden burst of gravity came from behind the crew's ghost, and the unsuspecting crew stumbled into the sea.
"Is it Wuji Gu?"
Zheng they are simply moved to tears, at this time, in addition to Wuji Gu seems to have no good people will appear, at this moment they are moved by the superposition of their hearts have reached a willingness to give their lives to the degree.
Then the three who were moved to the extreme saw a greenish-white face close at hand, the evil spirit with bulging eyes and hideous veins was gazing at them coldly, as if looking at the dead.
The drop was so great that Zheng, who was standing at the front, nearly fainted directly.
"Ah, sorry." Wuji Gu behind hastily pulled the evil spirits behind him, "just afraid that the crew will not do anything irrational, so I want them to discuss between companions and companions to come."
Zheng a few people this slowed down, but that look at Wuji Gu's eyes have been horrified to the extreme.
What's wrong with this guy, he was just running to dislike ghosts before, why is he even calling them now? Is he still a human being?
I don't know why, but their hearts always felt safer after seeing Wuji Gu.
"Since you guys are okay, let's get going." Wuji Gu said casually.
"But after, behind ......" the woman's panicked voice rang out, "there are so many more bodies ......"
"So." Wuji Gu turned his head to look and frowned as well.
After all, the number of corpses that climbed up from the edge of the ship over there are already a dozen, and although other corpses gave up entering the cruise ship as the day dawned, the rest of these are definitely not easy to deal with.
"So many people, too enthusiastic, we can't bear it." Wuji Gu said so, then loosened the rope in his hand, and moved in a fluid manner to push the evil ghost directly to the oncoming corpse, "You are all ghosts here, you should be very familiar, I will let you catch up, we will not bother."
The words fell, Wuji Gu quickly turned and ran, the rest of the people in a shocked Wuji Gu operation also quickly turned to follow.
The middle-aged male ghost who was left behind and forced to come into close contact with the corpse: "? What the hell kind of luck did he have to meet such a human being!
......
"That's it, that's all the clues we know."
Zheng was like a little daughter-in-law, standing in front of Wuji Gu, speaking obsequiously, "I swear on my life, I didn't lie half the time!"
They returned to the cabin, Zheng is also figured out, they want to leave alive can only hug Wuji Gu thighs, there is no other way, of course, is to immediately explain all the things they know.
As for the man and woman, they are attentive to Wuji Gu tea and water, shoulder and back, not daring to slacken the slightest.
"I believe you." Wuji Gu pondered, "But it looks like your goal of leaving in a lifeboat will not be accomplished."
He just saw at a glance that it was those bodies in the water that had climbed up from the edge of the cabin, not expecting them to be able to leave the water now ......
Although they were allowed to retreat again because of the light of day, it is not necessarily the case tonight.
"That's true." Next to Ling Jiang, who was holding two newspaper scraps for comparison, his eyes were full of mischief, and he spoke with mockery: "What's more, who knows whether those who escaped in the newspaper were human beings or ghosts?"
He put the newspaper directly on the table, the crowd clearly saw that the two newspaper fragments although they seem to be connected, but in fact the material and some subtle places are completely different!
This clearly indicates that one of the fragments is a forgery.
Zheng and others heard Ling Jiang's words simply numbed their scalps, the woman suddenly changed her face, "I said there is no such a good thing, just points can be exchanged for such detailed clues, must be the person who sold us the clues have problems!"
"Who knows ...... because at that time the clues he gave really fit with this copy, I believed it." Zheng's face was filled with remorse and resentment, gritting his teeth, "Damn it, wait until you get out for sure ......"
"Who are you talking about?" Wuji Gu couldn't help but be interested.
During the last copy, Haocang Peng had talked to him about his organization, but he didn't pay much attention to it at that time. Now it seems that all these organizations seem to be able to do some pretty impressive things.
"It is the organization codenamed K13 ...... I think you are also clear that we players' organizations and squads do not have specific names and are assigned numbers by the system. There will also be system rules that restrict teammates from harming each other."
Wuji Gu : "......" It seems like he'd better take a good look at what's in the system's player forum when he gets back this time.
Zheng is now of course know everything to say, what they did are explained, "of course we are just an ordinary squad only, did not expect to meet in the forum that kind of intermediate copy of the big brother, the other side also said that there are special channels to get clues, only need some points on ...... "
"We were simply tricked, how could the people of the intermediate copy be okay with helping us people!" The woman spoke indignantly.
"Yeah." Zheng's face was tinged with bitterness, but he also knew very well that it was impossible for him to retaliate against the other side, after all, the people of the intermediate copy could have crushed him with one hand, "I didn't expect that something like this would actually happen, originally, originally I thought that we didn't have what they wanted at all and couldn't have come specifically to get us killed."
"Now is not the time to discuss such things either." Ling Jiang spoke in a cold voice, "Time is running out."
"Yes, yes."
Several others instantly looked tense, realizing that what they did next would determine whether they would survive the night or not.
At this time the outside world was completely bright, Wuji Gu looked down at his phone and suddenly stood up, the others looked with expectant eyes, thinking how Wuji Gu would actually go about completing this main task.
Against the burning eyes of the crowd, Wuji Gu said, "Yes, it's already time for dinner, so young master Sidun Ao should be up."
Others: "????"
Wait a minute it's time to be so concerned about the identity of this employer and bodyguard!
It is true that the big brother's mind they simply do not understand.
......
The crowd arrived at the restaurant where breakfast was served.
It still looks pretty much the same as the first day, except that the weather is no longer so sunny and the sea color is very gloomy.
When the sea breeze blows, it all makes a feeling of chill all over.
What's worse for the players is that the number of dead people on board has increased again, and the living can already be said to be a rarity. The coming and going are all hideous-looking evil spirits, for them all is a psychological test.
Sidun Ao's face didn't look very good, with a greenish-black color under his eyes, and only when he saw Wuji Gu did it become apparent that he was in a much better mood.
"Did you have a bad night yesterday?" Wuji Gu inquired.
"No, just some weird nightmares." Sidun Ao spoke angrily. Sidun Ao spoke angrily, "It must be because of what that Ke Jie guy did yesterday, I'll make sure to teach him a lesson when I leave."
The others thought to themselves, "I wonder if Ke Jie is still alive now.
After breakfast, Sidun Ao immediately spoke, "Today, I look at the itinerary, let's go to the cruise ship's cold storage, it is said that the inside also froze to death a few staff to come, the door inexplicably can not open ......"
The hearts of the people are some want to curse, is already such a critical time, actually still have to go to death, no, this is no longer a death, this is simply looking for death!
Wuji Gu Do we have to accommodate this guy at a time like this!
"Excuse me, young master Sidun Ao, I think, you should rest now." Wuji Gu smiled and looked at the other man.
"Hmm? I just got up-"
Before Sidun Ao could finish his sentence, Wuji Gu made a hand slash and he immediately fainted.
"Okay, let's go."
Wuji Gu put Sidun Ao directly on his back, spoke to the crowd, and then headed out the door.
Several other people have been dumbfounded, they completely did not expect before also to this Sidun Ao young master hundred relocation, simply like true love Wuji Gu , today will actually directly hands ...... But it is also true, perhaps only let this love of death young master unconscious past to save his life.
"Where are we going now?"
"Of course it is, the captain's lounge."
