Chapter 97 Mysterious Disappearance
The hatch door was opened by Qin Mu.
Everyone became nervous in an instant, looked into the cabin, and then let out a sigh of relief.
There is no one inside.
"No one." Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and then wiped his forehead. However, at the moment, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"What should I do now?" He Zhiwen asked in a low voice.
Han Yushu murmured with a puzzled look on his face, "I clearly read it wrong just now. There must be someone here, and now I must be hiding."
In the thick fog, listening to Han Yushu's words, the others felt a stern heart. Qin Mu gritted his teeth slightly and said, "Why do we all search this boat carefully? Those skeleton monsters have been dragging the boat with iron chains, but they don't climb up. This boat... is indeed a bit strange."
Zhao Zifang, who has the power of muscle strength and gene awakening, glanced at him and said, "Since we know that this ship is weird, we should concentrate on the deck and don't touch this ship randomly, otherwise we will be afraid of accidents."
"But it's not a big deal for us to stay on this deck. Outside the ship, there are always skeleton monsters. How can we escape?" Xue Tao pondered.
"I was wondering, will there be anything on this boat that can control those skeleton monsters? Therefore, these skeleton monsters dare not board this boat, but this thing may be extremely important to them, so they kept dragging the boat?" Qin Mu suddenly expressed a point, and the others were shocked. Then, several people nodded, feeling that Qin Mu's guess was very reasonable.
Xue Tao said: "Yes, this idea is not completely unreasonable. We have always been mythical because this ship appears in thick fog, thinking it is like a ghost ship. But in fact, maybe it is just an ordinary ship, but it is dragged by a skeleton monster in the thick fog, so it adds a lot of mystery to the ship."
"Qin Mu's words are very likely, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why these skeleton monsters were dragging the ship but not coming up?" Finally, even Han Yushu spoke up and agreed with Qin Mu's point of view.
Seeing everyone saying this, Qin Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Or, we will look carefully on this boat and divide it into several teams. Everyone should be careful and take care of each other. Anyway, there is really danger on this boat. Even if we stay on the deck, we will still be dangerous. On the contrary, if there is no danger, we may gain something."
Everyone agreed with Qin Mu's point of view and began to distribute personnel.
Chu Nan was thinking about Qin Mu's words, why the skeletons did not enter the ghost ship, and then the skeletons did not enter the Catholic church that day. The final result proved that the church was indeed strange. So, the ghost ship... did the reason why the skeletons did not step into it, but the skeletons used iron chains to pull the ship to navigate in the thick fog.
All of this is like an inexplicable mystery.
"I'll go to the captain's room, you go to the front cargo compartment, you go to the bottom cabin..." Qin Mu sent people, and soon everyone broke up.
Chu Nan and Qin Mu entered the cabin chief room together.
The captain's room was clean and tidy, and it could even be said to be spotlessly cleaned, and it was definitely not like a terrifying ghost ship that had been abandoned for many years.
They saw that the table in the captain's room was covered with charts and instruments. The chart was opened. Chu Nan glanced at it and found that the chart was marked in English, and he was just like English, and he couldn't quite understand it.
"This... is a bit weird..." Qin Mu murmured, looking at the intact furniture in the captain's room, the hammock was tied tightly, and even clothes were still hung on the bulkhead.
The few people looked a little ugly. Qin Mu was busy opening the cabin next door that should be the first mate living in. He found that the porthole of the cabin was open and all the decorations inside were orderly.
Chu Nan saw all this and instinctively tightened the weapon in his hand. This ship was indeed too strange.
Looking at the appearance, it seems to have experienced a hundred years of vicissitudes, but the decorations inside are so orderly, and they look like someone living in the moment before.
Soon, Han Shuyu's exclamation came from the other side. Chu Nan, Qin Mu and others were shocked and ran over.
Han Yushu's voice came from the rest cabin. Chu Nan and his men rushed over, but saw Han Yushu and his men staying in the rest cabin, all of whom were pale and looked at everything in front of them with horror.
In this rest cabin, there was a pot of soup, still steaming. The meal was filled with soup dishes and tableware. There was a sewing machine next to the lamp base, which contained an unfinished child's clothes and toys on the floor. It seemed that there should have been children on the boat.
Everything seemed to be like a group of people just left after dinner, looking at the steaming soup, the bread that had just been cut open, and the hot milk that had been left half a cup of hot milk after drinking, everyone's face became extremely difficult to see.
"What the hell is this... what's going on? Could it be that there were many people on the boat? After we entered, they suddenly disappeared?" Qin Mu's voice became low and she screamed hoarsely.
Later, He Zhiwen and Wu De and others walked over with their faces as if they had seen a ghost and said, "We just saw a large amount of goods in the cargo hold, all of which were barrels of wine, and... one of them seemed to have just opened for a while, and there were a few less inside..."
"Let's go." Qin Mu's face was extremely difficult to see. Everyone felt that the ship was abnormal. However, no one could tell where the problem was. Finally, they came to the storage room on the ship. Here, they found various foods such as ham, bacon, dried fish, vegetables, flour and large chunks of butter. The stock was enough for a boat to eat for a long time, and they also saw sufficient fresh water in the tied wooden barrel.
These foods are not rotten and can still be eaten. Of course, no matter how bad people are, they dare not touch any food on the ship.
"Let's go back to the deck first." Qin Mu raised his voice. The ghost ship was so strange, but he didn't find anything else. He searched the entire ship and could not see an outsider or monster.
Everyone left the cabin one after another and gathered on the deck again.
"There are still people, they all come out, and they all return to the deck first." Qin Mu raised his voice again.
Listening to his words, everyone looked at each other and realized that the number of people gathered on the deck was only eighty or ninety, while more than one hundred and twenty people boarded the ship before, and more than thirty people remained in the cabin and did not come out.
Qin Mu raised his voice and repeated it several times, but there was no response or noise in the cabin, and no one came out.
"What's going on?" Qin Mu frowned and counted the number of people. Including himself, there were only 89 people. However, the number of people before was afraid there were 120 to 30 people. Did you remember it wrong?
"It seems that everyone has come out, there is no one in the cabin?" Han Yushu was also a little uncertain.
"No, it seems that there are more than so many people just now. Although I haven't counted it in detail, it seems... something is wrong." Wu De also frowned.
Chu Nan also felt something was wrong with the number of people. Deep in his heart, he felt a little unknown, and said in a deep voice: "Is anyone still staying in the cabin? Let's go in and take a look."
Qin Mu hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look."
Then they left the others on the deck, and about ten of them entered the cabin again. They searched carefully from the cargo hold, the captain's room, the storage room and the bottom cabin, and they were exactly the same as what they saw before, without any change, but the soup was almost boiling and the fragrance was everywhere.
Xue Tao licked his lips and said, "It smells so good, I really want to drink a little."
"No, don't touch anything on this boat." Qin Mu's face was very serious.
"It seems that there is no one in the cabin. Everyone has arrived on the deck. Maybe the fog is too thick. We just had an illusion. Maybe the total number of boarding on board is only eighty-nine."
Qin Mu said as he and everyone left the cabin again.
Chu Nan sighed slightly and whispered: "Hope." He felt a strong sense of insecurity about the ship, but he couldn't say where it was unsafe.
Except for the food and decorations of this ship, it seems like someone has just left, but there is no danger. The most important thing is that the ship is surrounded by densely packed with terrifying monsters. They are trapped on the ship now, and no one can think of a way to leave for the time being.
On the deck, there was still thick fog rolling, and many people were leaning or sitting on the spot to rest, and then some people whispered to discuss the food they just saw.
One of them said: "It's nothing strange. Isn't the legendary ghost ship or ghost ship like this? Food is warm, but no one is there, just like everyone suddenly disappeared strangely. To put it bluntly, it's not strange. Maybe there are people on the ship, and they are even accomplices with the skeletons. When we boarded the ship, they sneaked off the ship from a secret path behind. Because we didn't notice it, it created this strange illusion."
Listening to his words, Qin Mu and others nodded secretly, feeling that what he said was quite reasonable. Combined with Han Yushu's previous discovery, perhaps the truth was very ordinary, and they just scared themselves.
Chu Nan, Qin Mu and others walked back to the deck, and Chu Nan began to count the number of people in his heart.
"1,2,3..." Chu Nan counted silently, and soon, he felt that the number was wrong: "Why are there only eighty-six? Didn't Qin Mu just say there were eighty-nine people?"
Chu Nan counted it again in his heart, and with him, there were indeed only eighty-six people.
"Qin Mu, you just counted the number of people. How many people are there?" Chu Nan asked in a deep voice.
Qin Mu said: "There are 89 people in total, what's wrong?"
