Holy Bone

Chapter 1656: New Clues to the Gewu Xianding and the Cannibal Case

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The negative emotions in people's hearts can be infinitely magnified in the darkness, and the darkest darkness can devour people's hearts. As Headless Jin'an just stepped into the dark world in the cabin, he heard the faint whispers of many people in the darkness.

The voices were so scattered and dense that it was difficult to tell how many people were wandering in the darkness.

There are sounds everywhere, around, behind, and above your head.

Coupled with the strong smell of blood in the air and the feeling of blood sticking to the soles of shoes with every step, the atmosphere was so horrifying that people subconsciously held their breath and their hair stood on end.

This kind of dark environment can trigger all the negative emotions in people's hearts. No one can remain calm in such a dark environment. Even the headless Jinan, who is used to seeing life and death and mountains of corpses and seas of blood, has some strange feelings in his heart at this time.

The sound of human voices still lingers in the darkness around me.

If you want to listen carefully to what those whispers are saying, after standing there and listening carefully, you will find that those whispers are more like the nonsense ramblings of a group of crazy people gathered together, which are incoherent and meaningless.

The headless Jin'an, holding the soul-guiding lantern, stood there and listened for a while. After realizing that it was all the nonsense of a madman, he took a step forward and continued to explore in the darkness.

Unfortunately, the green candlelight in the lantern had a limited lighting range in the dark cabin. It could only barely illuminate the area below the feet, emitting a little bit of hazy light. Beyond the soles of the feet, there was endless darkness that could swallow up all light.

Fortunately, it was not the first time that Headless Jin'an walked alone in the dark. He had passed through mountains of corpses and seas of blood more than once, and this kind of environment could not scare him away. While silently thinking about the structure of the ghost ship in his mind, he also calculated where he was standing in the cabin at this moment, and then groped forward in the dark environment with a calm mind.

This kind of multitasking in a complex environment is not a problem for him who has practiced Thousand Heart Tribulations.

The more he used the Thousand Heart Tribulation in "The Holy Art of the Heavenly Demon", the more he became proficient in it. Although its means of attack were not as good as the Taoist arts and magical powers he had learned, it was definitely the most practical in daily life. He had long been dependent on the thousands of wonderful uses brought by the Thousand Heart Tribulation.

At this time, he still had time to think about other things. He felt that it was a wise decision not to bring the one-eyed paper man into the cabin this time, and to leave the one-eyed paper man outside to help him keep an eye on the sea situation.

Having practiced a thousand heart tribulations and maintained a calm mind, he was able to cope with the unique environment in the cabin with ease.

Headless Jinan followed his memory and moved forward by feeling the wall in the dark, and he actually found the entrance to the second-level cabin.

hum-

It was the sound of footsteps walking down the wooden stairs to the second cabin. Every time a step was stepped on, a sour sound of wood gnawing could be heard at the junction of the stairs and the deck, as if a landslide would occur at any time.

It was not a pleasant feeling to go down the stairs, as the ground was sticky and slippery. Without lowering your head to look, you could tell that the stairs were covered with a thick layer of sticky blood.

The environment on the second floor of the cabin is very narrow. After going down here, the voices of people around me that seem to haunt me become more numerous. I can feel the cold resentment on every deck, as if I am walking in a narrow space where people are shoulder to shoulder, and the tiny voices of people are so dense that they are almost sticking to my body.

However, the dim and weak light of the soul-guiding lamp illuminated the endless dark void and many dragging bloodstains on the floor, but did not illuminate any human shadow.

I could clearly feel that there were people around me, but I couldn't see a single person in the air. It was a very strange and novel experience.

Headless Jinan held the soul-guiding lamp in one hand and moved forward by feeling the wall in the dark with the other. The cabin design would not be too complicated. Generally speaking, this floor was half a crew rest cabin and half a cargo storage hold.

The air on the next level is turbid and lacking, making it unsuitable for humans and livestock to live in, and it will be a ship's hold.

The bottom layer is the watertight compartment.

Therefore, after he went down to the second floor, the first place he arrived at was the crew rest cabin. Due to the inherent lack of space, in order to maximize the use of space, the design of this crew rest cabin was not complicated. Most of them were horizontal and vertical designs, with only a narrow and simple aisle for people to pass through.

No wonder he felt like there were people all around him as soon as he entered the second floor.

Squeak--Squeak--

It was even darker and quieter, and even the sound of the crashing waves was blocked out in the second-floor cabin, where the sound of doors being pushed open could be heard repeatedly.

Headless Jin'an moved forward by feeling the wall. Every time he passed a room, he would push the door to check, but each time he would stand at the door and not go in, and then continue to walk to the next room.

Although he couldn't see anything in the dark, his sense of smell was not impaired. He could smell whether there was any danger or something else hidden in the cabin.

A corpse has a stench.

Ghosts are very ghostly.

People have human nature.

Old objects have the flavor of time.

He is a martial arts immortal, his six senses are stronger than those of Shinto masters of the same level, and all 36,000 pores on his body are used for his sense of smell.

As a result, he searched all the cabins, but could not find the person or the Gewu Immortal Cauldron he was looking for. This dark world seemed extremely dynamic, but in fact it was extremely quiet. Hidden in the extreme movement was extreme quiet. The air was filled with the whispers of many people's nightmares, but in fact there was no one there. Not even a corpse was found. It was abnormally silent.

The fact that no bodies were found could only mean one thing: the crew had been drifting on the sea for too long without food or water, and had gone mad with hunger, and had eaten too many human flesh.

There was not even a piece of meat or a bone left for him.

"Since we didn't find the Gewu Xianding in the crew cabin, it seems that the Gewu Xianding is very large and is stored in the inner cabin."

Headless Jinan, holding a soul-guiding lamp with green ghostly flames in his hand, continued to grope his way inside in the darkness.

Just as he had guessed before, the front half of the second floor was the crew's rest cabin, and the back half was indeed the hold. The space was suddenly wide and filled with miscellaneous items.

With my hands I could feel many large and small packages of tightly packed goods.

Almost all of these goods are packed firmly and intact, and are still intact, indicating that there is not much impact here.

and many more!

Headless Jinan stopped suddenly!

boom!

In the invisible darkness, Headless Jinan raised his hand, pierced a sack, and dug out some small items from it.

By touching it with your fingertips and smelling it, you can tell that these are spices imported from the West.

boom!

He stabbed his palm through another sack, this time to dry herbs.

This time, what he broke was a heavy wooden box, which contained ivory, the favorite of the nobles.

……

The search continues.

After he had broken into six or seven pieces of cargo in succession, he finally found what he was looking for: pickled fish and a small amount of sauerkraut. He did not look any further, for if he had, he would surely have found other food.

This is what he suddenly realized was wrong. The cargo in the hold was intact and the stored food was still there, so his previous speculation that the chain of cannibalism was caused by lack of food and water was not true at all!

These crew members devoured humans not because of food needs, but out of human nature!
