The Grim Reaper Can't Be Tricked

Cen Jin put the bone chopping knife on his back, hid the medical bag, picked up the flashlight, and inadvertently shone on the cabinet. Seeing that there seemed to be a line of words engraved on it, he looked curiously: "Go to CJ in the art pedestrian street gallery area?"

Who left the words?Is it useful information?

...CJ?

Cen Jin thought about it, and turned to Ivan, "How many people come up in each batch?"

Just as Ivan was about to answer, Susan stopped him. She asked in horror, "Who are you?"

Cen Jin was expressionless, and Ivan was confused: "Susan, what's the matter with you?"

Susan's teeth chattered: "We sailed into this cold water, and the sea began to be thickly fogged. Except for our cruise ship and this ghost ship, there were no other ships around. If he came from the cruise ship to the ghost ship like us, Why does he act ignorant? If he isn't from a cruise ship, where is he from? Why does he act so familiar with this room?

The guest room didn't turn on the light, so when he came in, he went straight to the cabinet without looking at the structure of the room, isn't it strange? "

After being reminded, Ivan also felt that something was wrong, so he quickly jumped to Susan's side, and the two retreated to the door, staring at Cen Jin warily: "I'm sure there are no other ships besides the cruise ship near the ghost ship, including fishing boats and yachts. Who the hell is it? Is it the... thing in the ghost ship?"

Cen Jin: "You doubt me, and I also doubt your identities." He held the bone chopping knife, his eyes sharp: "Knowing that the first group of people who entered the ghost ship disappeared, you still dare to come in? If you find the headless female corpse and don't run away, Instead, he continued to linger and carry out sneak attacks, which was unusually daring."

Both Ivan and Susan's eyes flickered: "We thought you killed Colleen, but I don't believe that the ghost ship is really weird."

"Really?" Cen Jin said softly, showing his disbelief: "You urged me to go to the art hall. Unfortunately, I just came out of the art street above the art hall. There are only a lot of monsters there. Can you tell the art hall? There are a lot of pigments, which means that I have been there to explore, why didn't I see any monsters?"

Susan said nervously: "We really didn't find anything unusual—" She twisted the doorknob and rushed out: "Run!"

In a panic, Ivan rushed out behind her, at such a high speed, that he disappeared at the end of the corridor in the blink of an eye.

Cen Jin didn't intend to catch up, and looked at the changes in the corridor. He remembered that when Ding Yiqing was attacked by a monster, there were only scratches left by him in the corridor, and the traces made by the monster disappeared completely, as if everything was Ding Yiqing's illusion.

Taking his guest room as the demarcation point, there were various knife and ax marks and bullet marks in the first half, and there was no trace of damage from inside the wall, at least indicating that the monster in the wall and the hull of this corridor merged into one.

The ceiling and walls of the rear corridor are covered with black mucus, and the white liquid on the ground is soaked in fragments of tentacles of different sizes. It can be seen that the corridor monster in the guest room area and the monster in the box room have fought fiercely just now.

It seems that the monsters in the hull are not in harmony.

At this time, Cen Jin heard the rustling sound from the hull, and his heart skipped a beat. He guessed that the monster in the wall was about to launch a second wave of attack, so he left without stopping, and followed the instructions engraved on the cabinet to the Art Pedestrian Street.

The Art Pedestrian Street is on the fourth floor, very close to the bar, where there is a bloody, skinless muscular monster.

There is no light on the cruise ship, it is dark and gloomy, quite scary, only the moonlight from the red moon outside the window serves as the source of illumination, covering the gloomy hull with a hazy blood-colored tulle.

Cen Jin complained that it would be better not to provide lighting, the atmosphere was set off even more terrifying.

He walked towards the passenger elevator and pressed the button to go to the fourth floor. Sure enough, the freight elevator in the lobby of the guest room area can be used, and the passenger elevator here can also be used, which means that the cruise ship still has electricity, and all kinds of machinery can be used.

Thinking about it from another angle, does it mean that the missing ghost ship did not sink at the bottom of the sea?

Looking at the interior environment of the passenger elevator, the ceiling is dripping with water seepage, moss and seaweed are all over the place, and one of the walls of the elevator car is full of scalp-numbing conch shells, which are moving slowly at this time, and they can still hear the water when they wriggle. Voice.

With a ding sound, the passenger elevator door opened, and there was an empty and dark long corridor outside. The roar of the sea wind rang through his ears like a monster. Let the sea breeze come in.

Cen Jin ran into the Art Pedestrian Street, there was a map at the entrance, he quickly glanced at the route and remembered the route, and then he started to run wildly. A door appeared in front of him, and the map reappeared in his brain. He vaguely remembered that it was the entrance of the "Art Gallery". The stairs lead directly to the sunshine glass and art gallery on the fifth floor.

There are monsters on the upper level, but there are no guarantees on the lower level.

He stepped lightly, walked sideways through the translucent gate, and saw that the inside was full of red lights. Most of the artworks were white plaster statues, and there were many kinds of them. They stood quietly in place, which looked quite strange.

When Cen Jin was about to pass through this translucent door, he heard a crisp sound coming from the art gallery, followed by a gurgling sound, and when he looked down, a glass bead rolled down to his toe.

He was so nervous that he held his breath, looked up at the translucent door, saw the bright red blood on the ground through the crack of the door, the alarm bell was ringing in his mind, he turned and fled quickly.

After running for about ten meters, the door behind him was knocked open, and a monster with no rubber tendons came running wildly. After a few jumps, the distance was shortened to two or three meters, and the gallery area was in front of him, seven or eight meters away from him.

The fishy wind from the monster's mouth was blowing, and from the corner of Cen Jin's eyes, he saw the monster was close at hand, and it opened its mouth to bite him. He resisted with a hundred thousand pressure, but unexpectedly, the monster had no effect.

Cen Jin dodged in time and rolled to the side on the spot. The monster bit the bronze beast artwork placed on the side of the corridor, and the bronze beast that was bitten in half in an instant showed the terrifying bite force of the monster.

"Damn it." Cen Jin cursed, grabbed the bone machete with his backhand and slashed at the monster's head and face. "Invulnerable?"

Why do you feel that it is much stronger than the muscular monsters you encountered before?It also grows hands and feet.

Cen Jin had no time to think deeply, the monster was forced to take a few steps back under the heavy pressure, he took the opportunity to get up, and ran towards the gate of the gallery area, the monster jumped to the ceiling with all four limbs, then jumped down one by one, and jumped on the top of Cen Jin in the blink of an eye, The bloody mouth that opened his mouth was about to bite off his head.

At this critical moment, a Tang knife pierced through the air, inserted into the monster's mouth, penetrated its throat, and firmly nailed it to the hull, but the monster was still alive, struggling from the head down.

Cen Jin didn't have time to think about who was attacking the monster, so he quickly pulled out the bone cutter and rushed forward, aimed it at the monster's neck and made up the knife. With a click, blood splashed everywhere, and the monster's corpse separated and stopped struggling.

The sound of footsteps came from behind him at the same time, and Cen Jin turned his head to look at the gallery area. After seeing the person coming, his tense emotions instantly relaxed.

"Why are you here?" Cen Jin pressed his wrist, looked at Ding Yiqing and asked.

Ding Yiqing pulled out the Tang Dao from the monster's mouth, glanced at Cen Jin to confirm that he was not injured, and replied: "After I separated from you, I sneaked into Nolen's suite and found the safe that he secretly hid. When he was about to open it, someone came in. Opening the window in the suite, I just saw the red moon and the white moon converging, my eyes were illuminated by red light, and I was here when I opened it again."

Cen Jin: "It's the problem of the red moon. The two moons may come from different time and space, and the moment of intersection will affect the magnetic field, causing us, bathed in the light of the red moon, to travel through time and space to 20 years later."

Hearing this, Ding Yiqing's expression remained the same.

Cen Jin: "You know?"

Ding Yiqing: "When I left Nolen's suite, I saw a group of people holding a live broadcast on their mobile phones, sneaking into the crowd to listen to their chat."

Cen Jin: "Where are those people?"

Ding Yiqing: "The group of people said that there was a ghost in the power cabin. They led me in and locked the door of the steam oven room. Afterwards, they really encountered the ghost in the power cabin. They all had their heads chopped off and their bodies were thrown into the steam oven room. The door was closed. Off, I just ran out, after searching the power cabin, I saw a prompt asking me to come to the gallery area. What about you?"

Cen Jin briefly explained his own situation, and integrated the information of both parties by the way.

Ding Yiqing: "You also have a hint?"

Cen Jin: "The suffix letter is CJ, I suspect that the prompter is myself."

Ding Yiqing: "The prompt I saw also has my initials...come in first and talk."

Cen Jin followed up in the gallery area, and the inside was in a mess, and the oil paintings were seriously corroded. Only the oil painting in the center was spotless. The content of the oil painting was a handsome and tall man wearing an ancient Greek war robe, holding a shield and a weapon. Kneeling on one knee with an iron arrow stuck in his heel.

"Achilles' heel." Ding Yiqing stood behind Cen Jin and said, "The undead war god Achilles who soaked in the river Styx invaded the city of Troy and was about to slaughter the city. Leos' weakness was in his heels, and it was from this weakness that Achilles died."

Cen Jin had heard the story that Achilles was thrown into the River Styx by his mother's heel, making his body invulnerable. As a result, the tightly held heel could not be soaked in the River Styx and became the only weakness.

The story is intended to warn that no matter how perfect people or gods are, they have weaknesses, but Cen Jin's focus is whether the destiny that governs all things interferes with human history at will?

On the surface, fate's intention to save Troy, which was about to be massacred, was good intentions, but after careful consideration, you will find that the defeated Achilles army was massacred by Troy.

The death toll has not decreased, and the fate of mankind has been interfered with.

"Is there something wrong with this painting?"

The problem is serious at first glance, but Ding Yiqing heard the meaning of Cen Jin's words and responded: "There is no problem at present, but the reminder to let us come to the gallery area should be related to this painting."

Cen Jin stared at the oil painting and asked: "You said you found the safe that Noren hid his secret in the suite, so you should have dug out the secret."

Ding Yiqing pointed to the front: "The safe is over there."

Cen Jin followed the direction Tang Dao pointed at and saw a safe standing quietly on a stone pier in front of him, so he walked towards the safe and said, "Did you open it?" When you opened the lid and saw the deep knife marks, you knew it was opened violently.

It contained several documents, a checkbook, two account books, and two ancient gold coins of rather exquisite workmanship.

The checkbooks and account books are all in English, but the documents are in unfamiliar and obscure letters.

Cen Jin frowned: "What is written here?"

Ding Yiqing: "The signing documents for the purchase, refurbishment and decoration of ships, the signatures on the four 'goods' purchase documents, and the 'goods' storage terms documents are basically these three."

Cen Jin: "Can you understand? What kind of text is this?"

"Rune script, an extinct alphabet, is said to have been comprehended and created by Odin, the Lord God of Northern Europe. The database of the head office records some rune script, and I have learned it."

"There are mostly documents related to 'cargo'. If it simply refers to the valuable artworks in the cabin, I am not the only one in my possession, so the 'cargo' here should be rare and precious."

Cen Jin raised his eyes and said his guess to Shang Ding Qing's eyes: "It's the goods in the container, the 'rare beast' of the Fantasy Night Colosseum."

Ding Yiqing: "The purchase document can also be said to be a purchase list. It is called by letters as codes. There is no way to tell what the goods are. If the document was signed in 1997, it was purchased two years ago and then stored here at Norn."

Cen Jin picked up two gold coins and looked at them over and over again: "I can't tell the year of manufacture, there is a head portrait on the front, and there seems to be another string of characters on the back, which is not like the familiar gold coins in modern times."

Ding Yiqing: "It should be an ancient gold coin, it might be useful."

Cen Jin hid the ancient gold coins and handed the document to Ding Yiqing. At this moment, the door 'duang' sounded loudly, attracting the two of them to turn around. Seeing about four or five young men and women coming in while talking, the popularity instantly became lively.

"This is the gallery area of ​​Art Street. I don't know if the lights can still work...it should work, and the elevators are still working. Ania, have you found the switch?"

"Found it. Covered in moss and conch, I'll wipe it off before I say... disgusting."

There was a sizzling electric current, and there was a snap, the lights flickered a few times and then turned on brightly, and five people walked in at the door.The figures of Cen Jin and Ding Yiqing were blocked by the stone pillar with the oil painting of "Achilles' heel", and they were not found for the time being.

"It's the 'live-streaming Internet celebrities' who entered the ghost ship expedition 20 years later. They are really not afraid of death." Cen Jin pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you want to drive them back to your own cruise ship?"

"No cruise ships."

"what?"

Cen Jin answered a sentence indifferently, focusing all his attention on the moon outside the window. It was a red moon outside at this time, and he was enveloped by the red moonlight just now and had no time and space travel. He guessed that the red moonlight released by the confluence of two months might be useful. .

"There is only this ship on the entire sea, and there are no other cruise ships."

Cen Jin looked back at Ding Yiqing in surprise: "No?" He turned his head to look at the Internet celebrities who came in: "Then where did they come from?"

The five Internet celebrities were scattered, and they took pictures of the gallery area with their mobile phones and explained: "We have done a lot of ghost ship guides in advance, and found the original structural drawings of the cruise ship 'Boneless', and know that the gallery area is the most haunted area. This area Just in the middle of the hull, I heard that the cruise ship held a party in the high seas area of ​​the Norwegian Sea before it disappeared, and it was supposed to stay well in the concert hall, but something happened in the gallery area."

It seemed that someone nearby asked what happened, and the Internet celebrity explained: "I heard that there was a headless corpse in the gallery area, and a group of people from the concert hall ran over, about 40 to [-] people.

I heard that some magazine editor, cruise ship evaluation, entertainment gossip, sneaked in to inquire about the news, and released the magazine later, in fact, it is similar to our current UP owner... The topic has gone too far, sorry, let’s talk about these three 40 people scrambling to run first Looking at the headless corpse in the gallery area, no one thought of protecting the scene, only a headline in their eyes.

So before the others arrived, the three or 40 people sneaked into the gallery area first.

After about half an hour or so, someone finally notified that the horror of the headless body was known to other people in the concert hall, so some interested people came over there—note here, I’m talking about some people, because At that time, tourists were basically scattered in entertainment areas such as bars, concert halls, casinos, restaurants, and swimming pools at both ends of the hull. On the contrary, many places in the art area in the middle were not open, so there were not many tourists.

There are not many tourists who know about the headless corpse. At this point in time, the news has not spread.

Let’s talk about those who went to the gallery area before they even opened the door and saw thick blood oozing from the ground. Realizing that something terrible might happen in the gallery area, they stabilized the people who followed, and opened the door carefully—— "

"See what?"

A girl named Aniya suddenly came over and asked, and the Internet celebrity was shocked: "Don't make this kind of place appear suddenly, it will scare people to death!"

Sighing deeply, the Internet celebrity sorted out his emotions and said: "They knew that terrible things might happen in the gallery area, but they didn't expect the reality to be far more terrifying than imagined. In the gallery area behind the door, a total of 37 people were beheaded, and their heads disappeared. , the body is still standing straight in place, some people are still walking, and even holding photos and preparing to shoot, can you imagine that scene?

It was as if this group of people rushed to the location of the headless corpse as soon as they opened the door, but they were also beheaded at such a speed that they didn't even know they were dead.

Killing 37 people at the same time is so fast that no one can react, that is definitely not something humans can do!

The gallery area was very clean at that time, there was not a single drop of blood on the ground and walls... Oh, the sticky blood I just mentioned came from the first headless corpse in the gallery area, and the other 37 people did not have a single drop of blood. "

Anya suddenly laughed and said, "If the owl's head is fast, it won't bleed."

The Internet celebrity looked at Ania strangely, and said: "But after the investigation, it was found that the blood of the 37 headless corpses had been sucked dry."

Ania's smile froze on her face, and she felt a chill on her neck: "So evil?"

Internet celebrity: "So the gallery area is one of the most evil places in the ghost ship. We come here to explore, maybe it is the first batch of weird shots."

Anya lowered her voice: "The first batch and the second batch... have no news, are you not afraid?"

The Internet celebrity pulled the corner of her mouth and showed a stiff smile: "What are you afraid of? I also said that the first two groups of people are playing tricks!"

"Really?" Ania thought about it, suddenly showing panic, pointing forward and said: "What is that?!"

The Internet celebrity was so frightened that she almost howled, and hurriedly looked back, only to see the glamorous and artistic oil painting, and immediately complained angrily: "My God, can you stop being surprised? Isn't it just one painting?" painting--"

He suddenly realized, in a gallery full of dirt, moss, seaweed, and conch, where can there be such bright oil paintings?

The cold air filtered out of the sticky white liquid, crawled along the soles of his feet to his back, spine and brain, suffocating panic gripped his heart, and then a bright yellow appeared in his pupils, and then darkness The two figures that came out of the room were gradually exposed to the light and became clearer and clearer. However, the Internet celebrity no longer had the courage to watch, and howled loudly. Just as she was about to run, she found that Ania fled the door first.

"..."

The Internet celebrity's cheeks twitched, and it was too late to run away, and Ding Yiqing blocked her back. Although she couldn't tell whether the opponent was a human or a ghost, it was right to admit cowardice.

"I'm sorry I was wrong, I shouldn't disturb everyone's peace, I will give you whatever you want, including helping you trick your colleagues into killing you!"

Cen Jin: "...I'll inquire about something, you just tell the truth."

The Internet celebrity immediately raised her head and stroked her hair: "It's easy to say, just ask."
