Holy Bone

Chapter 1657: Storage Room and Demon Sealing Gate

Wutou Jinan was not shocked by the dark world before him, but was surprised by his unexpected discovery.

I thought I made the right decision this time.

I didn't expect there were so many secrets on this shipwreck.

Through this ship investigation, the truth of the voyage on Shenzhou more than ten years ago was indirectly revealed. Wutou Jinan thought a lot at this moment.

After sorting out the clues for a while and then gathering his thoughts, he continued to move deeper into the cabin with his new discoveries.

Because this major discovery almost overturned all his previous speculations, Wutou Jinan was more cautious and paid more attention to details in his subsequent explorations.

But as mentioned before, the cargo in the second-floor hold area was packed intact and had hardly been rummaged through, so this also meant that the second-floor hold area was very clean and no new clues were found.

He safely passed through the second-floor hold area and found the staircase leading to the next floor in the depths.

According to his understanding of the draft depth of the ghost ship, the third cabin is the last cabin, and the fourth cabin is a watertight compartment. The space there is too small for people to move their hands and feet there.

Walking up the even thicker and more slippery stairs, Headless Jinan went down to the third-floor cabin.

It is not difficult to imagine that this third flight of stairs was covered with an even thicker layer of blood.

This also indirectly proved that he had found the right place. The further he went down, the thicker the blood stain became, and the closer he was to the place where the cannibalistic crew members ate.

pat!

His feet landed steadily on the ground again, and the blood on the ground was even thicker and more dense than on the stairs. When his feet stepped on the ground, there was a popping sound.

Although nothing can be seen in the dark, I can still clearly feel a long string of blood from the sticking of the sole.

According to Wutou Jinan's experience of wading through mountains of corpses and seas of blood several times, the blood stains on the floor of the third cabin area were at least an inch thick.

The third-floor cabin is smaller than the second-floor cabin, the environment is more enclosed, and the air is more turbid and difficult to circulate, so there is no rest room for the crew, only full cargo.

There was blood stains about an inch thick under my feet. There was almost no air circulation here. The smell of blood was so strong that ordinary people could not stay here at all. Moreover, the environment was even darker. The candlelight was almost useless here. It was truly a dark world under the lamp.

Although Wutou Jinan has no head and no nose, as a martial arts immortal, he can easily close all the pores on his body, turning his body into a leak-free body, and cannot smell the outside world. But he did not close all the pores on his body, the environment here is even more closed and dark, and without a head and a nose, the 36,000 pores on his body are his sense of smell, replacing the nose organ, and playing a role in distinguishing breath and danger in the dark.

So, he had to brave the bloody and turbid air that was almost stagnant, and move forward in the dark. If he was not careful, he would touch some strange things.

This third cabin is the last one, and the cannibalistic crew's eating area is somewhere on this last floor.

He advanced in the dark and made slow progress. After a while, he came to a strange area.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

In the dark space where there was no sound and only a strong smell of death, there was suddenly a crisp crash, as if someone had thrown a huge rock into a pond deep in the mountains, instantly breaking the tranquility that had been sealed for many years. The sound seemed particularly empty, sharp and piercing, and people were instantly startled and got goose bumps.

Wutou Jin stood still quietly. The sound continued for a while before gradually stopping. The only thing to be thankful for was that nothing else happened during this period.

This is a good thing, but it is not necessarily a good thing. How could such a big commotion not have alarmed the cannibalistic crew? This only means that the danger is lurking deeper and is more difficult to guard against.

It was because of this that Headless Jin'an was not in a hurry to move forward. At this time, he cast the fourteenth spell of the Wind Borrowing Technique, and with the help of the wind speed, he quickly grasped the slightest movement and shape of objects in the closed environment.

He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he was sure there was no danger.

  Ok?

Wutou Jin'an cried out in surprise. The breeze was blocked in one place, and there seemed to be a separate compartment in that direction.

Wutou Jinan silently noted down the exact location.

  Seeing that there was no danger nearby for the time being, he bent down to look at his feet to see what he had just touched.

After about another cup of tea, he finally understood the specific situation of the current environment. Between the cargoes in the third-floor cabin, silverware, knives and forks, teapots, ceramic fragments and other things were tied to fishing lines, spread horizontally and vertically, serving as a warning.

Seeing those silver objects, Headless Jinan thought of the silver objects he saw on the deck outside. It seemed that these warnings were set up by the exorcist to guard against things deep in the third cabin and to alert the people above.

"Warning alert?"

Wutou Jinan was thinking in his heart. He thought of the separate compartment that he had just explored with the help of Jiefeng. It seemed that the answer was there.

This is the ship's hold area that is only used to store cargo and is not used for living. A separate compartment can be set up here to serve as a storage room, so it should be the place where the most important items are stored.

With this idea in mind, Wutou Jinan carefully avoided the fishing lines and successfully found the compartment storage room.

When he found the storage room, he saw that the door, walls, floor, sides, and ceiling were all deeply engraved with scriptures in different languages.

There were also thick iron chains tied to both ends of the bulkhead, sealing the storage room tightly.

The iron chains are hung with garlic, silverware, holy water and other exorcism tools.

This state of alert is a warning to outsiders not to approach the compartment, as the storage room contains dangerous heretics that even exorcists cannot deal with.

Looking at the storage room in front of him that was sealed with layers of seals, combined with some memories of the one-eyed paper man's life that he saw through the dream-entering technique, Headless Jinan first thought that the storage room should be the place where the cannibalistic crew members were imprisoned.

There were not many cannibalistic crew members at the beginning, and they were noticed by the crew members at the beginning. Faced with the insane cannibalistic crew members, the normal crew members would definitely find a place they thought was the safest to imprison them.

The storage room in the lowest cabin became the best choice.

But the ending was obvious. Even with so many layers of blockade, all crew members still failed, and no one survived.

Headless Jinan held the soul-guiding lantern in his hand and looked up and down and left and right at the storage room in front of him. On the one hand, he was looking for an entrance and exit, and on the other hand, he was looking for clues to see if those dangerous cannibalistic crew members were still being held in the storage room.

Perhaps it was because the darkness here was even more gloomy and claustrophobic than outside, and the candlelight was limited, so he searched but did not find the answer he wanted.

The truth was right before his eyes, he couldn't just stop here. Since there were no clues outside, he might as well go in and see what was going on.

"I haven't found the Gewu Xianding all the way. Is the Gewu Xianding in this storage room?"

The death of the exorcist and the failure of the exorcism did not make him give up. Instead, it made him calm down and more eager to know the truth behind the storage room.

He no longer cared about being exposed at this time, and directly tore off the iron chain used for sealing, ignored the magic-sealing scriptures, and pushed open the door of the storage room with force...
