Chapter 1656: The Immortal Cauldron and New Clues to the Cannibalism Case
Xixisuosuo——
Xixisuosuo——
The negative emotions of people can be infinitely magnified in the darkness, and the darkest darkness can swallow people's hearts. Headless Jin An just entered the dark world in the cabin and heard the whispers of many people in the darkness.
It was so fragmentary and dense that it was hard to tell how many voices were lingering in the darkness.
There are sounds everywhere around you, behind you, and above your head.
Coupled with the strong smell of blood in the air and the sticky feeling of blood under the soles of the shoes with every step, the atmosphere is so terrifying that it makes people subconsciously hold their breath and send chills all over their body.
This kind of dark environment can detonate all the negative emotions in people's hearts. No one can remain calm in such a dark environment. Even the headless Jin'an, who is used to seeing life and death and mountains of corpses and seas of blood, has more or less some feelings in his heart at this time.
Strange feeling.
The faint voices of people still lingered in the darkness around me.
If you want to listen carefully to what those whispers are saying, and stand still and listen carefully, you will find that those whispers are more like the gibberish of a group of lunatics gathered together, inconsistent and meaningless.
The headless Jin An, who was holding a soul-inducing lamp, stood there and listened for a while. After realizing that it was all the gibberish of a madman, he stepped forward and continued to explore in the darkness.
Unfortunately, the green candlelight in the lantern has a limited lighting range in the dark cabin. It can only barely illuminate the feet, emitting a little hazy halo. Beyond the soles of the feet, there is endless darkness, capable of swallowing all light.
Fortunately, this was not the first time for the headless Jin An to walk alone in the darkness. He had even gone through mountains of corpses and seas of blood more than once. Such an environment could not scare him away. While he was thinking about the structure of the ghost ship in his heart,
He silently calculated in his mind where he was standing in the cabin at this time, and then calmly groped forward in the dark environment.
This kind of multi-tasking in a complex environment is also difficult for him who has practiced Qianxin Jie.
The Thousand Heart Tribulation of "The Holy Art of the Demon" becomes more and more handy the more you use it. Although the attack method is not as good as the Taoist skills and magical powers he learned, it is definitely the most practical in daily life. It has long been inseparable from the Thousand Heart Tribulation.
Thousands of wonderful uses.
At this time, he still had some free time to think about other things. He felt that it was a wise decision not to bring Du Mu Zhi Zha Ren into the cabin with him this time, but to leave Du Mu Zhi Zha Ren outside to help him keep an eye on the sea conditions.
He has practiced for thousands of eons and has a calm mind, so that he can cope with the unique environment in the cabin with ease.
Headless Jin'an followed his memory and groped the wall in the dark environment. He actually successfully found the entrance to the second-floor cabin.
Ding——
Ding——
It was the sound of feet stepping on the wooden stairs and walking down the second floor of the cabin. Every time they stepped on a step, the sound of the wood grinding together at the connection between the stairs and the deck was heard, as if it was about to collapse.
My feet didn't feel good going down the stairs. My feet were sticky and slippery. I didn't have to lower my head to look. There must have been a thick layer of sticky blood on the stairs.
The environment on the second floor of the cabin is very narrow. After entering here, the voices of people around me that are like lingering voices become more numerous. I can feel that every deck is filled with cold resentment, just like walking in the crowd rubbing shoulders.
In the narrow space of the heel, the murmurs of people's voices were so dense that they almost touched my body.
But the dim and weak light of the soul-inducing lamp illuminated the endless dark void and the many dragging blood stains on the floor, not even half of the person's shadow.
You can clearly feel that there are people around you, but you can't see anyone in the air. This is a very strange and novel experience.
Headless Jin'an held the soul-inducing lamp in one hand and moved forward by touching the wall in the darkness with the other hand. The cabin design was not too complicated. Generally speaking, this floor was half crew resting cabin and half warehouse for storing cargo.
The next layer has turbid air, lack of air, and is not suitable for people and livestock to live in. It will be a ship's warehouse.
The bottom level is a watertight compartment.
Therefore, after he descended to the second floor, the first thing he arrived at was the crew rest cabin. Due to the limited space, in order to maximize the use of space, the design of the crew rest cabin was not complicated. Most of them were horizontal and vertical.
Design, there is only a narrow and simple aisle for people to pass.
It's no wonder that as soon as he entered the second floor, he first felt that there were people around him.
Squeak——
Squeak——
It was even darker and quieter. Even the sound of the waves was isolated from the second-floor cabin, and the sound of door openings kept ringing.
Headless Jin An moved forward by touching the wall. Every time he passed a room, he would open the door to check, but each time he would stand at the door and not go in, and then continue walking to the next room.
Although he couldn't see anything in the dark, his sense of smell was intact. He could smell whether there was danger or anything else hidden in the cabin.
The corpse smells like corpse.
Ghosts have ghostly aura.
People have humanity.
Old objects have the time-precipitated flavor of old objects.
He is a martial arts immortal, and his six physical senses are stronger than those of Shinto masters of the same realm. His sense of hearing is contained in all 36,000 pores in his body.
As a result, he searched all the cabins, but could not find the person he was looking for or the Immortal Cauldron. This dark world seemed to be extremely dynamic, but in fact it was extremely quiet. There was extreme silence hidden in the extreme movement, and the air was filled with the whispers of many people's nightmares.
There was no sound, but in fact there was no one there, not even a body was found, it was unusually quiet.
Not a single body was found, which can only mean that the crew drifted at sea for too long without food and water, went crazy with hunger, and ate too much cannibalism.
There wasn't even a trace of meat or bones left for him.
"So the Immortal Cauldron was not found in the crew cabin. It seems that the Immortal Cauldron is very large and was stored in the cabin further inside."
Headless Jin An carried a green ghost-flame soul-inducing lamp in his hand and continued to grope his way inside in the darkness.
Just as he had guessed before, the first half of the second floor was the crew rest cabin, and the second half was indeed the ship's warehouse. The space suddenly opened up and was filled with debris.
I could feel many large and small packages of solidly packed goods with my palms.
Almost all of these goods are packed firmly and completely, and they are all intact, indicating that the area has not been greatly affected.
etc!
Headless Jin An suddenly stopped!
Bang!
In the darkness where nothing could be seen, the headless Jin An raised his hand and pierced a linen bag and dug out some small objects from inside.
You can tell by the touch of your fingertips and smell that this is a spice brought from the West.
Bang!
His palm pierced another sack, this time to dry medicinal materials.
What he broke this time was a heavy wooden box, which contained the ivory that was the favorite of nobles and nobles.
…
The search continues.
It wasn't until he broke six or seven items in a row that he finally found what he was looking for, including pickled fish meat and a small amount of sauerkraut. He didn't look any further. If he kept looking, he would definitely find other food.
This was what he suddenly realized was wrong. The cargo in the ship's warehouse was intact and the stored food was still there, so the chain of cannibalism events he had speculated before was caused by a lack of food and water was simply not true!
These crew members bite people not because of food needs, but because of human nature!
