Although he was reluctant, Snow followed Sera and Wright to the hatch leading to the second deck.
After all, unless he returns directly to Backlund now, he still needs to see what he needs to see.
"It was locked from the other side." Wright spread his hands and said helplessly, "Do you think the people below discovered the problem and closed the hatch, or..."
"No matter what, just open the lock." Snow had no intention of talking nonsense. As the saying goes, "It's better to see it with your own eyes than to say a thousand words." A spiritual arc flashed in his hand, and the lock of the cabin door
It opened in response, revealing the passage leading to the second deck.
But the moment the hatch was opened, a strong and disgusting smell of blood burst out like an explosion.
"Ugh..." Sierra let out a painful cry, covered her mouth and squatted down, as if she was about to spit it out. Snow took out an iron cigarette and an iron cigarette from his arms, and pinched out one that seemed to be sealed.
A wisp of stormy amber-like blue crystal stone, as spirituality was injected into it, a wisp of breeze appeared out of thin air, blowing away the strong smell of blood, and at the same time, it also wrapped a light wind shield around the three people.
This wind-proof defense can only withstand two or three revolver bullets, but the point is that it can form a relatively independent air environment, so that people at least will not be poisoned by breathing.
Sera stood up with a pale face, glanced at Snow gratefully, and then looked worriedly at the downward stairs, as if looking at a huge mouth devouring life - "How many people have died down here?
"
"I don't know, but there are only about a thousand people on this ship." Wright seemed to be worried about being misunderstood, so he took out his revolver in a somewhat grandiose manner, and then took the lead and walked to the front.
Although Wright's pistol looked exquisite, Snow could clearly know that it was not an extraordinary item. Not only the gun was not, but also the bullets inside were not.
In other words, this Wright has no extraordinary items on him at all.
"This guy doesn't look poor either!" Snow secretly remembered this detail in his mind, and the shadow under his feet slowly turned into a mottled dark red. He separated a part of his soul into the double to help him monitor Sera.
In the same state as Wright, he escaped against the wind and followed behind Wright.
Although Zifeiyu didn't notice any problems, there was something quite "abnormal" about this guy. As the only three people on the ship, Snow couldn't help but pay attention to it.
The not-too-long staircase ended soon. Compared to the three decks in the open air, the place seemed quite dim. The gas lamps and candlesticks had all been extinguished, and only a small patch of light could be shed by some not-so-transparent portholes.
"No lighting yet." The three of them said the same line almost at the same time. They were stunned for a moment, then nodded, and began to observe the situation in the darkness. There were not many cabins on the second deck, except for the hundreds of second-class cabins.
In addition, there are large dance halls, affordable restaurants, lounges, entertainment rooms, pubs and even barber shops. Looking for clues here is just like hide and seek in a deep castle.
"There's a corpse!" Sierra whispered in a low voice. Snow and Wright made alert movements almost at the same time, and then looked in the direction pointed by Sierra.
It was a shriveled body, wearing a sailor uniform that was almost soaked in blood, and underneath it was a large area of blood that had begun to dry up.
Although there was a barrier from the wind escape, just by seeing this scene, Snow could imagine the faint smell of corpses and the strong smell of blood. He put his arms around Sera who wanted to step forward for an autopsy, frowned and said:
"Be careful of corpse transformation."
"I know." Sera nodded solemnly, took out a brass charm that exuded a mysterious aura from her arms, held a gun in one hand, and approached the body with the charm in the other - this woman was indeed what she said.
, has a certain amount of adventure experience, and although his prayers were interrupted, he at least still had enough charms on him.
About three meters away, Sera stopped, pointed her gun at the body, and threw the spell out. At the same time, she also recited a Hermetic word in her mouth——
"Backtracking."
The aura of the talisman spread, and even gave the body a sense of sanctity. However, this feeling passed away in a flash, and then, a faint shadow appeared on the body, but the shadow had not yet taken shape.
, then it shattered with a snap.
"Is there any interference?" Wright completed the action of raising the gun almost instantly. Snow noticed that at the same time as the gun was raised, his thumb had already pulled the hammer. This is a habit of people who are good at rapid fire.
It seems that although this guy doesn't have any extraordinary items, he still has enough combat-at least shooting experience.
"It's not interference, but the spirit body has been destroyed." When Sera said this, she relaxed a little. Although the spirit body was destroyed, it would not be able to activate abilities such as channeling and retrospection, but on the other hand, the corpse would not be able to use it.
Jump up and attack again.
She took a few steps towards the body again, carefully avoiding the blood on the ground. While checking the state of the body, she said:
"After the death of ordinary people, even if the spirit body dissipates, some damaged fragments will be left behind. The psychic can gather these fragments together and ask some simple questions, while the retrieval of the Keeper can cooperate with the spirits in the environment.
Reproduce some fragments."
Having said this, he took off the sailor's shirt, checked it, and then said:
"This man died no more than an hour at most, but his spirit completely disappeared. Either the murderer used a method that could destroy the spirit body, or his spirit was taken away through some kind of technology."
"Where's the cause of death?" The shadow under Snow's feet had spread at some point. While Sera was doing the autopsy, he had already discovered a dozen corpses with similar death patterns lying in several surrounding rooms.
"There are traces of whipping on the body, and one hand was cut off. The cause of death was excessive blood loss, but it is strange. Judging from the state of his wrist, this man should have run a certain distance after being injured before finally collapsing here.
Yes, but the blood stains were completely concentrated at his feet, and there were no traces of dripping blood around him. It was as if after walking here, the wound on his arm suddenly started to spurt blood. Moreover, the degree of dryness of the corpse was also very abnormal, it was simply
It's like someone squeezed all the blood out from inside."
Sierra stood up again, with a thoughtful look on her face. Wright seemed to have thought of something and asked:
"The blood... could it be a vampire?"
"I don't know. I only know that vampires feed on blood, but I haven't heard of them mastering blood-related magic. Maybe high-ranking vampires have related powers, but this is not within the scope of my knowledge."
