The Grim Reaper Can't Be Tricked

Ivan followed Ding Yiqing all the way to the gallery area. As soon as he opened the door, he saw dozens of headless corpses sitting on the ground with their backs to the door.

He was so frightened that his legs went limp, he grabbed the wall and barely stabilized his body, and said tremblingly: "D-dead, many people...report, call the police! No, there is no signal, no, no, no, a cruise ship with bright lights is not a ghost ship— — This is the gallery area, it is rumored that 20 headless corpses died 38 years ago, 1, 2, 3... 38?"

Ivan was completely frightened, yellow liquid dripped from his lower body, trying to grab Ding Qingqing's hand for a sense of security.

Ding Yiqing turned around to avoid Ivan, said "Stay here and don't move", and entered the gallery area, passed through 38 fresh headless corpses, tore off the white cloth and quickly packed the magic painting, brought it out and let Ivan carry it on his back.

Ivan refused at first, but Ding Yiqing said, "If I help you, I will take you back to the ghost ship 20 years later, and let you go back alive", and immediately picked up the magic painting and followed behind him obediently.

"Where are we going next?"

Ding Yiqing didn't answer.

Ivan was in a hurry, "I can't let me carry this magic painting until dawn, what if it kills me? It's carrying 38 lives now, of course I'm not afraid of another one, but I'm afraid. "

Ding Yiqing: "Go to the power cabin."

Ivan: "No." He looked terrified: "Brother, didn't you hear what we just said? There are monsters in the power cabin!"

Ding Yiqing: "Not now."

Ivan: "Are you sure?"

Ding Yiqing strode forward: "You can refuse."

Seeing Ding Yiqing go farther and farther, it seems that he really doesn't care whether he keeps up or not. Of course Ivan refuses. After thinking about it, there is no option to refuse at all. There is a life-saving straw by Ding Yiqing's side. If the magic painting is in trouble, just cut it off What about his head?

He can't throw away the magic painting, otherwise Ding Yiqing won't take him back to 20 years later... Wait, so it's 20 years ago? The ghost ship that hasn't disappeared in 99?Is tonight the night of the massacre?

Ivan swallowed his saliva in horror, and hurriedly followed Ding Qingqing.

The two came to the power cabin, and Ivan stayed outside, refusing to go in.Ding Yiqing entered the engine compartment, skimmed the diesel storage area, and went straight to the steam boiler room, pushed open the rather heavy door and slipped in.

This cruise ship is powered by a diesel direct-fired engine, and a steam boiler room is obviously not used for driving. Ding Yiqing is not sure what it is used for for the time being.

The steam boiler room is about a hundred square meters, with a huge coal-fired steam boiler in the middle, and a large amount of coal stacked behind it.At this time, the steam boiler burns red coals, and the pipeline for conveying high-pressure hot steam is connected to a funnel-shaped cauldron above. There are stairs beside it to climb to a five-meter-high platform. Standing on the platform and looking down, you can see the inside of the cauldron. structure.

Ding Yiqing went to the steam boiler once in the timeline of 2020. At that time, he did not have time to climb up to the platform to watch it. He only knew that the steam boiler was still burning at that time, and the tall monster wandering in the power cabin would come back every once in a while to fill up the coal. .

He took two steps forward and saw that the cauldron was covered by a huge transparent glass cover, and there was a white viscous liquid boiling inside, which looked a little familiar.

Thinking for a few seconds, Ding Yiqing remembered that the ghost ship 20 years later was covered with white liquid, with a strange aroma, which could easily arouse human appetite. So where did the strange white liquid come from?

Ding Yiqing approached the cauldron, inserted the Tang knife into the gap between the lid and the body of the pot, and tried to pry it open, but the high-pressure steam sucked the lid tightly, and it was not easy to pry it open.

With so much force that the veins on the back of his hand popped, Ding Yiqing finally pried off the lid of the pot, but saw a limp, wet human head rolling out of the boiling viscous liquid, which was almost melted by the steam.

After several sounds of 'Bo, Bo', dozens of heads popped out one after another, their facial features were basically melted away, and they became bloody. When Ding Yiqing pried off the lid of the pot, a strange aroma permeated the entire steam boiler, arousing the appetite crazily.

Ding Yiqing immediately withdrew the Tang knife, and the lid of the pot fell back with a bang, covering it tightly. The terrible appetite receded like a tide. Before the lid was covered by water vapor, he quickly counted the number of heads that floated up.

37 in total.

The heads of the missing people on the ship were all thrown into the steam boiler?Who is the boiled human skull soup for?

Ding Yiqing turned over and jumped off the high platform. Just as he held the doorknob, he heard hurried footsteps approaching from far to near. He stopped outside the door and pushed the door open.

Looking at a group of people walking in, there were eight people, and there were two women in the middle, who happened to be familiar faces - Mrs. Leadman and her little black-skinned lover.

They bit their ears affectionately and spoke lingering French, their voices were a little low, but they could be heard clearly in the closed room, while Ding Yiqing knew French, and when Mrs. Leadman said that the steam oven room was her treasure, the black-skinned female rock expression A little cold, but his eyes were already soft, and asked if she often came here to see a useless steam oven room?

Mrs. Leadman chuckled. "It's no useless steam oven room. Baby, it's my treasure of eternal youth and wealth."

The black-skinned girl rock sneered: "Don't use this trick to coax me, Mary."

Mrs. Leadman's maiden name was Mary.

Mrs. Leadman looked at her little lover tenderly: "I will reveal my secret and my treasure to you, and you shouldn't doubt me."

The black-skinned girl Rock was silent for a moment and asked, "Is this ship yours?"

Mrs. Leadman: "The cruise ship jointly established by Noren and I, they also have their own little secrets on this ship, which are hidden from each other, and you are the only living person who knows this secret besides my partner .”

The black-skinned girl Rock looked suspiciously at the other six people present, and Mrs. Leadman suddenly smiled brightly: "A dog that takes money for work is not even a human being."

The black-skinned female rocker didn't like hearing this very much, saying that she couldn't see the value of the steam boiler room, and couldn't believe Mrs. Leadman's words.

"It's okay, I'll let you witness its magic." Mrs. Leadman applauded, and someone scooped up a large bowl of viscous human skull soup on the high platform and handed it to her.

"Try it, Liz."

Liz swallowed, her eyes couldn't move away from the bowl of human skull soup that exuded a strong aroma, and her stomach felt a spasm-like pain. She grabbed the big wrist from Mrs. Leadman's hand uncontrollably, regardless of the scalding temperature that burned her throat, she raised her head to drink It entered the stomach, and then fell to the ground with a bang, his eyes were blurred, and his whole body twitched.

The smile on the corner of Mrs. Leadman's mouth remained unchanged, and she still looked at her little lover tenderly: "Sleep obediently, and when you wake up, be my most obedient dog." She brushed the hair off Liz's face with her toes , said with some regret: "You are fine, but unfortunately I have a more favorite prey."

The prey in her mouth refers to Wu Yujie.Ding Yiqing guessed calmly, watching them come and go.

As soon as the door was closed, Ding Yiqing jumped down, grabbed Liz's back collar, and pushed the handle of the Tang Dao against Liz's stomach with his backhand. The latter vomited out most of the human skull soup that he hadn't had time to digest.

Liz was dying, looked up at Ding Yiqing, recognized him as a companion with her rival in love, her eyes drifted, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the reflection in Ding Yiqing's pupils, she quickly fixed her eyes, she couldn't see clearly, so she tried to get up, and looked at the bright and clean eyes beside her. Mirror of steel pipes look.

From the chin to the cheeks were covered with black fibrous lumps, the texture was very similar to tree bark. Liz broke off a piece, and she screamed in pain, including the belt and flesh.

She panicked and asked, "What is this? What's wrong with me?"

Ding Yiqing: "Most of the lovers who followed Mrs. Leadman disappeared, probably destroyed in this way."

Liz lost her mind: "Bloody Mary?"

Ding Yiqing: "There is such a nickname, obviously she is not for your blood."

Liz sneered: "What did she drink for me?"

Ding Yiqing didn't answer.

Liz: "I know it's not a good thing... She is a witch? Forget it, she can't change the fact that she wants to kill me. Now I just want to know if I can be saved? Can my face be restored by surgery?"

Ding Yiqing: "I will do my best to save you."

Liz rubbed her face, turned her head and stared deeply at Ding Yiqing: "Thank you. Mary told me that there is a small submarine under the center stage of the auditorium, and there is a passage to the deep sea. You can go as long as you can. Most of them have no background. When people get on this cruise ship, they basically can’t get out.”

Ding Yiqing: "It seems that you know a lot."

Liz smiled wryly: "I thought she told me that she loved me and trusted me, but it turned out that I was also on the damn list with no background. She won't make me feel better, and I won't make her feel better!"

Ding Yiqing: "If Leadman and others are successfully resolved and they land safely, I will help you contact someone who can heal you."

Liz didn't speak, and she didn't respond until Ding Yiqing left. The doors of the steam boiler room and the power cabin were closed one after another, but she didn't come out, as if she had been locked inside forever from this moment.

Before Ding Yiqing left the power cabin, he went to a certain place and carved the words 'Go to the gallery area, at 10:30 to the window seat of the opera hall·DZQ'.

Seeing Ding Yiqing, Ivan hurried over and asked, "I heard the movement just now, so I hid quickly and waited until they entered the boiler room. I didn't mean to remind you, it was too late... Well, what's in it? Who are they?" I remember eight people went in, how did seven people come out? How do you know that there is no monster inside?"

Ding Yiqing: "Have you seen that monster head-on?"

Ivan couldn't react to the unexpected question, so he nodded numbly.

"Do you still remember what it looked like? Needless to say, the characteristics of dragging an ax and being tall."

Ivan scratched his head and recalled the monster he encountered in the power cabin. It dragged a corpse in, chopped off its head, then grabbed the head and walked towards the steam boiler room. Passing by the red moonlight, he happened to be photographed face.

The face is covered with thick black skin, the lines are a bit like tree bark, ugly and terrifying.

He described the memory, and Ding Yiqing responded with little reaction.

"So... where are we going now?"

Ding Yiqing: "There is a two-hour difference between the current time and the future time."

"……so?"

Ding Yiqing: "Go to the opera hall and prepare to settle everything."
