Chapter 30 The Broken Vessel in the Center of the Island
So the three deducers who decided to let themselves go and explore the plot began actions that made the NPCs terrified.
Luckily for Yu, after communicating with Carlos's little paper man on the third day, he wandered around the ship collecting the data that Zhou Jing, paranormal researchers, geographers and others had worked hard to compile.
Ni and Carlos left the camp and headed back to the center of the island along the next day's route.
Because they had to start over from the camp every day, they would definitely not have time to go to the center. Anyway, they were not afraid and simply planned to sleep in the jungle at night to speed up their efficiency.
Wu Runhao was frightened again - after the experimenter who was suspected of being affected by the undead and was photographed by his brother-in-law disappeared, Longzhou and Abai, who were finally rescued, also disappeared.
He immediately concluded a new rule: Those who have specific contact with the undead will most likely be summoned back to the island by the undead!
Wu Runhao hurriedly confirmed that Fang Xiaoyu was still on the boat. Wu Runhao breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay, okay, Fang Xiaoyu should be one of those people with a small chance.
However, he was happy too early.
Yu Xing was very heartless. After eating and drinking comfortably for a day under Fang Yao's nose, he quietly slipped off the boat in the early morning of the fourth day and went to meet Carlos and Yan.
The little paper man was still on him, and he was just wearing casual clothes, sweatpants and sneakers, carrying a backpack of high-calorie food and essential tools for survival in the wild, abandoning Fang Yao and Wu Runhao, two people who had broken their hearts.
After all, this is just a deduction game. No matter how sincere the sister-brother-husband's feelings for Fang Xiaoyu are, they have nothing to do with Yu Xing.
all fake.
Yu Xing stepped on the shore and looked back at the giant ship. His eyelids drooped slightly and he repeated in his mind: It's just fake.
Based on the description of Carlos on the other side of the little paper man, he took a shortcut to catch up with Carlos and Nightmare who took the initiative to slow down.
The two men, regardless of gender, became jealous when they saw him clean, and they were noisy and lively along the way.
The illusion becomes denser as it gets closer to the center, and since it hasn't rained in the past two days, more and more dark clouds have accumulated, making the scope of the spiral much larger.
After the big tree and cemetery, there are abandoned houses, abandoned rice fields with human blood, flesh and blood scarecrows, etc.
On the fifth day, they walked to the center of the island amidst the artificial traces that constantly brushed their presence.
The layers of dwarf trees gradually become denser, and among the dwarf trees there are towering trees standing in rows, covering the sky so tightly that it can block the satellite view and prevent the buildings among them from being discovered.
But they were still discovered by Yu Xing and the others.
In the most central place, there is an institution that covers an area as large as two football fields. The buildings of the institution are not scattered, each building is no more than three floors, and there is also normal land that can produce food.
However, these places are now completely abandoned, with weeds covering all the ground, and the building being covered with unknown ivy-like vines. In the gaps between the leaves of the vines, the island lives.
The only living thing besides outsiders is the moth.
Moths lay quietly on the wall with their wings curled up. Without paying attention, Yan accidentally touched the vine. As a result, countless moths fluttered their wings and flew up. They did not fly far and swarmed in front of the leaves.
After fluttering in groups for a while, they all fell neatly into another vine.
The sound of flapping wings gave all three of them goosebumps. The one who was touched the nearest was even more frightened and said: "What the hell are you doing!?"
Yu Xing also frowned. If he had seen it correctly, the wings of these densely packed moths seemed to have patterns of human faces.
It didn't seem to be a good thing. After the powder fluttered by the moths fell to the ground, they carefully pushed aside the vines on the doors of the buildings and went in to check them out.
Some of the buildings were dormitories, and some were like laboratories. There were many cylindrical vessels one person tall with broken glass inside, leaving traces of a pool of unknown liquid that had dried up outside the broken glass.
Seeing these broken glassware, Yu Xing, who was walking at the end, changed his expression.
His heart suddenly tightened, followed by a moment of cramping that made him freeze unconsciously.
His eyes suddenly turned cold without anyone noticing.
"What was there originally? Where has it gone now?" Nightmare looked at the rows of glassware with a scrutinizing gaze, "I have seen movies and horror games, where either mutated experimental humans were contained, or
It’s a monster. If it’s broken, it means the person or monster inside has escaped.”
"But apart from the moths outside, there are no other creatures...or monsters on the island." Carlos touched his chin, showing great interest in this.
"Didn't I say before that people here are using some supernatural means to raise corpses? Will there be some corpses that have been raised? Let's do the second stage?"
As a result, after waiting for several seconds, he didn't hear Xing join the discussion, so he couldn't help but look back in confusion.
Fortunately, his face looks as usual.
"What do you think San?" Carlos asked.
Yu Xing's tone was as usual, calm and a little indifferent: "I guess it wasn't originally a corpse."
Nightmare's eyes lit up: "What is that?"
"Monster. A kind of monster we have never seen in this deduction." Yu Xing raised his eyes and even smiled, as if the coldness just now was just an illusion, "Those vicious corpses are just food prepared for the monsters in the vessel.
."
"This institution was conducting some kind of dangerous research, but one day things got out of hand. People in the institution ran away, and the contents of the containers were left unattended. Soon after, they broke the glass and escaped..."
Nightmare became suspicious as she listened: "Wow, so specific, just like you saw it with your own eyes..."
Yu Xing shook his head: "It's just a reasonable speculation. We have looked at so many buildings, and none of them has blood stains or even mess. From this, we can think that the people in the institution were not injured, and the monster that ran out was at least self-aware.
Yes, I also know that if I don't destroy the layout here, it won't be something like the evil corpse that acts based on instinct or being driven."
"It makes sense, so I can also guess that the original thing in the glass was also a humanoid creature, right?" Carlos observed Yu Xing's expression calmly, "Animal-shaped creatures are not so smart, hiss... could it be a ghost?
?Are there ghosts inside?"
Xiang glanced at the utensil again and felt that it was a bit inconsistent.
But before she could organize her thoughts into words, she heard Xing say: "Or the undead. This is probably not the evil spirits and ghosts in our cognition, but a kind of entity, more in line with Europe and the United States.
Something that defines ghosts.”
Nightmare nodded: Yes! This is what she wanted to say!
The entire deduction was held on the Island of the Dead. She had long wanted to say that although all the NPCs had Chinese faces, except for the knowledge of the five elements proposed by Xing, other behavioral patterns and equipment were not in line with Chinese tradition.
Perhaps this has something to do with the absurd world of this deduction, which is something they can't figure out now.
So now there is another question...where did the contents go?
