World of Film and Television: The system forced me to exorcise demons

Chapter 217 The Sixty-Four Million Problem
Paul looked down through the hole made by Malden. There was a hall with stairs leading to the cabin on the upper floor.However, it is already in a mess, all the tables and chairs have been lying on the ground, rotten.Can't see anything else but these messy tables and chairs!

Paul is doubting his own judgment now, because so far, Paul has not found any weird things!Even Jack, whom Paul was most suspicious of, didn't make any other small moves. Since boarding this cruise ship, everything has been quite calm!

Seeing that Malden had regained his composure, Murphy stepped forward to support his face and said, "I told you to be careful! Okay, it's okay, let's go, follow me now!"

Malden laughed at himself with lingering fear: "I'm going to pee my pants!"

Dodge joked, "No, you always smell that way! Haha!"

"Ha ha……"

Murphy ignored the joke between the two, but said to Paul: "Mr. Paul, you can help take care of it from behind!"

Murphy has a deep understanding of Paul's skills. In any danger, as long as Paul is willing to take action, the safety of the few people is still guaranteed. Murphy is very sure of this!After all, on such a heavily corroded ship, coupled with decades of aging, there will always be unexpected dangers.

Upon hearing this, Paul nodded at Murphy.

Everyone stopped talking and walked towards the bridge.Now everyone is more careful, and it is no longer as easy as before!After all, if the floor is accidentally crushed and falls to the next floor, the probability of surviving is not high, not to mention that there are all kinds of debris on the ground!

After a while, everyone arrived at the bridge safely without any accidents!

"This thing is too stubborn! It's been so long and you still haven't shown up!" Paul was cursing in his heart while still recalling everything from the time he met this ship. It was really hard to figure it out!
"The compass is broken, and the rudder is not responding!"

"The fuel tank is also empty, it must have been going full speed until it ran out of fuel!"

Malden and Dodge, who were inspecting various facilities in the bridge, shouted at several people.

Murphy also shouted at this time: "Epps"

Hearing Murphy's shout, Epps ran over, and Murphy continued: "I found the logbook, take it back!"

Epps didn't say much, and quickly put away the logbook.

Paul has been standing in the middle of the bridge, observing the surrounding environment.Dodge and Malden, who were searching at the side, called everyone over, as if they had discovered something, Murphy and Epps also rushed over, and Paul also walked over after seeing this!
"Look at this, there is an electronic watch here, there was no electronic watch in 1962!" Dodge said to several people holding up an electronic watch.

"That can only show that we are not the first to board this ship, but now it is ours! Let's get some sleep and tow it away tomorrow morning!" Murphy said calmly, loosely usually.I don't care at all, what happened to those people who boarded the ship before!

Paul unconsciously looked at Murphy. Murphy didn't care about such things, which made Paul feel a little unusual!The same people who boarded the ship didn't take the ship away before, but stayed until now. Isn't this a clear problem?Murphy seemed to only care about how to take the ship away!

"Okay, let's go back to the ship and take a rest!"

After Murphy finished speaking, he led everyone back, and everyone followed him one after another.Paul didn't say much and followed the crowd.Paul was going to observe again to see if Murphy was affected.If it is indeed affected by this ship, then you can be sure that there must be something ghostly at work here!
So in the end, what Paul has to do is to find out the 'traitor' among the people, and then destroy the ship!It is not impossible to destroy the ship directly, but if the "traitor" among the people is controlling it, then destroying the ship will make the "traitor" hide even deeper!

What's more, if Murphy is not affected, it can only show that Paul's guess is wrong!Although Paul also had some doubts about himself, he still decided to observe again!
After a while, everyone returned to the tugboat.Everyone found a place to sit down, and Eps prepared water for them.

Gray, who had been staying on the boat, asked Murphy: "How is it? How did it get here?"

"Oh, that's a question of 400 million! Have you ever heard of a ship named Mary Silas?" Murphy said to several people.

Everyone showed doubts about this question.They often do salvage, and they can roughly estimate the value of the ship after going around the ship.Wondering why Murphy would mention another ship!

Paul, a layman, was a little surprised by the value of this ship. He didn't expect such a broken ship to be so valuable!At the same time, Paul also looked at Jack. Seeing him, he only had some doubts on his face. He didn't seem to care much about the value of the ship!

When Paul saw this, although his expression remained normal, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Murphy continued to explain to everyone: "It was a two-masted sailing ship from Charleston during the Civil War, full of cotton, and sailed to London. But two months after it sailed, the fishermen in Tripoli found It was sailing at 12 knots in the breeze, but its sailors, passengers, captain, all disappeared!"

"There was no distress call, but it still traveled 59 days, [-] miles after the logbook! Through the Strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean Sea, and no one at the helm!"

After Murphy finished speaking leisurely, he looked at everyone!
Everyone was speechless for a while, but Paul listened with gusto!
"What do you want to say? Heh, a ghost ship!" When everyone was silent, Jack asked himself.

Epps and the others were also distracted by Jack and came back from the story!
"Oh"

Everyone was attracted by Dodge's voice and looked over.Dodge said with a serious face: "Do you smell anything?"

Dodge's question made everyone look confused!

"I smell dog shit! Haha!" Dodge said with a face full of ridicule, and laughed unconsciously!
Several people were also amused by his funnyness. Murphy really said with a serious face: "I have been at sea longer than you, and I have seen many things that you can't imagine. There are many such things in the history of navigation!"

"Then what should we do?" Jack asked aloud.

Murphy said calmly: "Do what we should do, tie it up and drag it back!"

When Paul heard the words, he knew that it wasn't that Murphy didn't care about those people who had been on the boat before, but that the value of the boat was worth his risk!Although he knows these weird stories, the green dollars are more trustworthy than those illusory things!

The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit!
