Holy Bone

Chapter 1646: The Twenty-Third Transformation: Dreaming

Looking at the cold and merciless eyes of the paper man, Headless Jin An was not surprised at all. Instead, he felt happy in his heart.

"Great!"

"It seems that my plan is feasible. As long as I can temporarily 'resurrect' them, it doesn't matter if they are alive or dead, as long as they are conscious, they can all be the targets of my newly learned dream-entering spell!"

Wutou Jinan was secretly delighted.

His plan was simple. He would find a way to bring the half human eyeball back to life, and then use the dream-entering technique to track down the truth.

  However, Headless Jin'an did not use the dream-entering technique immediately. He wanted to see what the first obsession of the one-eyed paper-made man, whose corpse he had buried and driven away with his own hands, would be after he came back to life.

The one-eyed paper man was probably still getting familiar with his new body. He stood there motionless for a while before finally moving.

It rushed to the watchtower on the deck, looked out at the clear sea where the black storm had just passed and the gray fog had briefly dissipated, then ran down the watchtower, operated the sails, adjusted the wind direction, and changed the sailing direction of the ghost ship.

At the end of the new course is the direction of the land port.

That is the direction of Haizhou Prefecture Port.

Headless Jin'an also noticed this and was overjoyed. This was such an unexpected surprise. He didn't expect that picking up half a human eyeball could resolve the crisis of being in the vast Dead Sea.

The more this happened, the more Headless Jin'an missed the one-eyed paper man that he had buried and resurrected with his own hands.

This one-eyed paper-made man is simply his lucky star. If Headless Jin'an had a head now, he would probably laugh out loud in surprise.

At the same time, he also understood what the other person's deepest obsession was before his death, which was to be in a hurry to get ashore!

  This desire to survive and get ashore quickly even outweighs everything else!

As for why he was in a hurry to get ashore, we would have to wait for him to cast the dream spell to find the answer. It was nothing more than the desire to survive.

Either there was a lack of food and fresh water on the ship, or they didn't want to become food for other cannibalistic crew members.

Seeing the one-eyed paper man adjust his course and then stand still again, Headless Jin An decisively used the Shocking Spirit to knock the one-eyed paper man unconscious.

Then, while the one-eyed paper man was unconscious, he cast a dream spell to sneak into his mental world, trying to find his memories of his life and any useful clues.

During this time, the one-eyed paper man had been lying on the ground and sleeping. However, because Headless Jin'an was practicing Thousand Heart Tribulation and multitasking, he did not fall to the ground and sleep as well. He was still able to stay awake and move when the dream-entering spell was cast.

Time passed bit by bit, and just when the gray fog rose again over the sea of ​​the underworld, the dream spell ended, and the one-eyed paper man woke up again. The first thing he did after waking up was to continue to control the sails and adjust the course.

Only Wutou Jinjing sat still, thinking back to the various scenes he had just seen in the dream technique, to see if he had missed anything.

This time, he did not use the dream-entering technique to directly see the existence of the Gewu Immortal Cauldron in the spiritual consciousness world of the one-eyed paper-made man. He only saw a fragmented and incomplete bloody picture.

There was a crisis of running out of food and fresh water on the ship. Some people began to suffer from nosebleeds, tooth bleeding, and tongue bleeding. The condition worsened rapidly, and more and more people died, as if a plague had broken out at sea.

Epistaxis is the most common disease for sailors who sail for a long time, which is often called scurvy. However, compared with the crew members who died of scurvy, a greater panic spread among the crew, which directly led to the collapse of trust between people, mutual vigilance, and cannibalism, which indirectly accelerated the demise of the entire crew.

A crew member discovered that the number of bodies that died from the infection did not match, so he suspected that someone was starving and secretly eating the dead.

Soon the news spread among the crew, and panic quickly spread among the crew, spreading so fast that it could not be contained at all.

In the vast ocean, the most worrying thing is the despair of the people. In order to save the lives of the people on the ship, the crew organized to track down who was secretly eating people. However, after more than one investigation, they could not find the thief who stole the corpses.

And bodies continue to be lost every day.

The crew members finally realized that there was more than one crew member who was feeding on human flesh. These people were working together from inside and outside, so they were hard to guard against and could never be caught.

The crew members, who were already in a desperate situation without food and water, suffered further mental collapse due to this news, and the most terrible thing happened!

When people are in despair and pessimism, cannibalism spreads like a plague. As the number of missing corpses increases and obviously exceeds one person's food intake, the crew members become even more horrified to find that more people are starving in desperation and have started eating each other.

The cannibalism plague spread so quickly that the remaining normal people fell into a desperate crisis, because as the dead were eaten, the living began to disappear mysteriously.

  The entire ship is only this big, and the space is small. It is impossible for a living person to disappear out of thin air. How could he disappear mysteriously for several days without any trace? After thinking about it, there is only one possibility left!

This leads to a complete collapse of trust between people!

What followed was a fragmented and bloody world. Everyone on the ship was driven mad by the desperate situation, and they wrestled and fought with each other amid suspicion.

Until the dream-entering technique ended, Headless Jin'an couldn't find out whether the one-eyed paper-made man had been starving to death when he was alive, so he joined the cannibalism team.

He saw that the last memories of the one-eyed paper man were all a fragmented bloody world, with the ground, walls and boats all covered in blood and flesh. One day in reality seemed like more than ten years in the dream, and one hour in reality seemed like a month in the dream. Seeing that it lasted for a long time and he could no longer see any other memories in the dream, he took the initiative to end the dream-entering technique and withdrew.

This was the first time that Wutou Jinan used the dream-entering technique, and he achieved great success. It seemed that the dream-entering technique did not reveal any important clues, but in fact, the results of the dream-entering technique far exceeded what seemed obvious on the surface.

Through the encounter with this ghost ship, he could indirectly deduce that a similar scene had occurred on the Shenzhou more than a decade ago. This provided greater practical value to his investigation of the unsolved case from more than a decade ago. Both were related to the Gewu Xianding and had many of the same experiences.

For example, they would suddenly run out of food and water, and then cannibalism would break out, leaving almost no survivors.

Headless Jin'an looked at the one-eyed paper man who was busying around in the re-dispersing gray fog. His outline was a little blurry. He was trying hard to fiddle with the sail to control the direction. His motionless back seemed to be in deep thought.

The next ghost ship that appeared was an even more absurd and bizarre scene. In the underworld gray fog with surging sea water, a headless Taoist priest was busy cleaning the deck of the ship, and a one-eyed paper man was busy controlling the direction of the sail. In short, none of them was a normal person.

After accidentally picking up half a human eyeball, which led to a major breakthrough in the investigation, Wutou Jinan took the opportunity to clean up again and planned to search carefully for details to see if there were other human tissue fragments left behind...

So that he can get more clues by doing the same...
