Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 336 Three Stars
Staring at the place where the sailing diary disappeared, Adele's expression became serious.

"What happened?" Tracy noticed that her expression was wrong and asked quickly.

"The diary disappeared." Adele said quickly, "Just in case, let's look for it in the room."

Adele didn't stay in the storage room for a long time. How many arrangements did that, or those hidden murderers, make during this period of time?
Just thinking about it, Adele felt a little dizzy.

"Is this ship a ghost ship?"

The first thing that appeared in Adele's mind was this legendary story that had been circulating on the sea for a long time, and as far as Adele knew, Mr. "The Hanged Man"'s "Ghost Blue Avenger" was a ghost ship built in Tudor era.

If it was a ghost ship and it was a ghost sailor, it all made sense.

However, if this ship is a ghost ship, then Constantine, who is a necromancer, cannot be unresponsive. After all, being able to see and use undead is his sequence characteristic.

Although it is not as good as the "spirit witch" of the night path in driving this kind of pure spirit body, it is absolutely impossible for Constantine to fail to see that this is a ghost ship, and he will definitely remind Adele and others to pay attention to this in advance.

In addition, it is equally possible for mid-sequence Beyonders to hide on board. What Britton could do back then, others can do as well. Through the careful cooperation of multiple Beyonders, it is not impossible to create a perfect murder. difficulty.

Adele glanced at Tracy, knowing that the other party's conjecture was similar to her own, so she relaxed a little, and signaled the other party to search for the notes carefully with her.

Adele flicked out the claw on the back of the Hidden Blade, and used it to roughly pry open several locked cabinets in the captain's room.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for her to put her notes in such a place that she doesn't even know how to open them, but the current situation obviously cannot be considered according to common sense.

Different parts of the "Survivor's Hidden Blade" have different side effects. The side effect of using the hook is that random mistakes may occur when climbing buildings. , this side effect is relatively acceptable.

Due to the wonderful mechanism of the Hidden Blade, as long as the used part is ejected, side effects will begin to accumulate. However, except for the blade, it takes time for other parts to unfold. It is difficult to reach the enemy in this passive environment. Time to change form leisurely.

The iron hook on the Hidden Blade was quite easy to use, and Adele pried open the cabinet without much effort, and was surprised to find that it was almost empty.

There is no captain's clothes, no private money hidden away, and no good wine collected by the captain. In the dusty cupboard, there is just a piece of paper lying face up, with the writing on it bright red like Blood.

Three bloody five-pointed stars were drawn on the white paper with curled edges, and a brief Intis text was written below in the same unknown liquid:

"On the first night, three stars rose."

"What does it mean...a star represents a person?"

Tracy guessed that although Adele was unwilling to accept it, this explanation was obviously very reasonable.

"In other words, there are two more corpses that we haven't found?"

Tracy's face was gloomy, "Do you want to mobilize the sailors to look for it together?"

"No, let them stay in their own rooms."

Adele scratched her hair distractedly, "Take that piece of paper, let's go back and talk to Wendy and the others, and then the two of us will patrol the entire ship, we must find the remaining two."

"After that, what are you going to do after you find it?"

Tracy stood up and asked casually.

"Not sure yet, but something has to be done. I might abandon ship if need be."

Adele made a decisive decision. After all, it was a major matter related to the lives of the entire ship, so she couldn't help being indecisive.

When there were no obvious signs before, Adele was already doubting the safety of the ship, but suffering from no direct evidence, she couldn't stop those men who hadn't been completely intimidated.

Three people may have died now, which is enough to make those sailors whose brains have become a little unconscious due to returning to their old jobs to re-evaluate the pros and cons.

Although this may sound stupid, once there are too many people, there will be many kinds of ideas, and differences will arise, making it difficult to implement decisions on time. Control, which affects everyone's thoughts immediately, requires a certain opportunity as a guide.

And now, Wagner's death is an opportunity...

Adele couldn't tell whether she was depressed or relieved, at least now she had a reason to order the sailors to abandon ship.

……

Soon, Adele and Tracy greeted Wendy and began to check the cabins one by one.

Of course, Adele did not forget to light a black flame inside the door as a signal before entering the door, and informed the sailors inside the door that an abnormality had occurred on the ship, and asked them to take turns to watch the night and gather on the deck early tomorrow morning.

The assassin's perception of death and blood is also very keen, and operating in the dark did not reduce the efficiency of the two.

They soon found the navigator's body in the beer storage cabin. Compared with Wagner, his death was much more bizarre.

Before Adele and Tracy found his bruised, shriveled body, he was burying his head in a barrel full of beer, the floor was littered with beer spills from his struggling Wine stains.

"The phantom scales on his body haven't disappeared yet..." Adele said to Tracy after careful inspection.

The blue phantom scales on the body surface are one of the characteristics of the Sailor Path. Different from the dragon scales of the Spectator Path, the scales of the Extraordinary of the Sailor Path are more like fish scales.

"Assassins killed by backstabs, sailors drowned in wine barrels... what does the other party mean by provocation?"

Adele suppressed her anger and said in a deep voice.

"People who are killed are alone..."

Tracy didn't answer, she muttered to herself, as if she had discovered something.

"If the attacker is a member of this ship, does that mean that the other party is not confident enough in his own strength and cannot deal with multiple crew members at the same time?"

"I don't think it's realistic."

Adele glanced back at the corpse lying on the kitchen floor. At this time, they had already left and were going to continue searching for the third victim who 'turned into a star'.

"Whether it's Wagner or the fireman, they are all Extraordinary, and their combat power should not be weaker than any combination of two or three ordinary sailors. Even if we start with the weaker ones, it doesn't make sense to let the weaker ones not kill them. Go challenge the Extraordinary."

Adele frowned, "This is very likely an extraordinary event, based on a certain rule. The condition for 'not being attacked' is very likely that you cannot be alone."

"If only this was the case..."

Tracy sighed, and the two continued to search, searching every remaining room on the ship, but they did not find the third missing person.

"It's strange, do the words on that piece of paper have other meanings?" Adele was a little puzzled.

At this time, she and Tracy had already arrived on the deck. Because Adele's emergency notification was too hasty, the sailors had no time to clean up the banquet scene, resulting in a mess on the deck, and there were sailors left in the corner. Empty bottles and fish bones on one side.

At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the crimson moonlight was covered by the black clouds when the two of them were searching in the cabin. There were only a few windproof lamps on the deck of the ship, which looked very dazzling on the dark sea, and they were not very harmonious. The "Snow Wind" in the distance echoed each other.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew away the clouds, and the blood-red moonlight shone straight down, illuminating the deck brightly. The empty wine barrel rolled back and forth, making a bone-lugging sound, and then fell into the sea with a plop.

Adele looked up subconsciously, and found above the watchtower, a figure with bulging eyes hanging from the wrist-thick sails, the knotted tung oil sails wrapped around his neck twice, strangled him to death In the air, a natural gallows was formed.

"...It seems that this is the third one."

Tracy opened her mouth, swallowed back what she wanted to say, and just repeated the facts in front of her in a daze.

"We've got to figure out a way to get him down."

Adele quickly made up her mind, "I'll go up, you've been watching me from below... No, you should go up."

The hole in the middle of the sail rope is not big, and the place of the watchtower is also very narrow, which does not allow two people to go up and operate together.

"That's right, my sequence is higher, and it's easier to solve any problems."

Tracy didn't care about similar things. As a pirate general, it's not that she hasn't seen weirder scenes than the current scene, and she doesn't care about Adele because of the possible dangers. In other words, she thinks that she If the sequence is higher, you should do more dangerous things, which is in line with your identity.

Adele nodded, watching as Tracy released the white spider silk and pulled her body upwards.

She suddenly changed her mind, of course it wasn't that she wanted Tracy to carry Lei, rather, her purpose was just the opposite.

Because just now, Adele suddenly wanted to understand one thing:

In the process of divination, I once tried to divination about my own safety, and used the divination statement "It is safe to stay on this sailboat" and got an affirmative answer.

Although Mister Fool's citrine pendant can't divination on events that are completely out of reach with him, it involves the owner's own safety, and the citrine pendulum's divination results have never been wrong.

Adele thought of the existences that she saw in the old ruins that needed to be restricted by sight. If her guess was correct, the abnormal appearance pattern on this ship was most likely related to "line of sight".

If this is the case, it is not the people on the lookout that are in danger, but the people watching below—at least, the people above are absolutely safe until the people below are killed.

Now, I only have to believe that Mister Fool's divination will not deceive me...

Adele took a deep breath, and secretly wove a layer of stab-resistant silk armor with silk thread on the back of her clothes. At the same time, she concentrated. Although her eyes were still fixed on Tracy who was rising, her attention was on herself. in the blind spot of vision.

Tracy's figure rose rapidly, and the silk threads around her body quickly caught the sails and mast, pulling her to the highest point of the sailboat.

Afterwards, she neatly folded her hands together, pulled out a knife made of ice, and cut off the sail rope wrapped around the watchman's neck, and then hung the miserable body with a thin thread , slowly descending from the sky.

And during this depressing time, Adele was relieved to find that there was no abnormality appearing beside her.

But why are you special?
Before Adele could figure it out, Tracy had landed in front of her with the corpse.

"I made a general inspection on it. There was no other trauma, but he was directly hanged by the sail."

Tracy pointed to the corpse on the ground. At this moment, she noticed the change in Adele's expression, and asked quickly, "Looking at your expression, do you have some eyebrows?"

"It's not an eyebrow, it's just a guess."

Adele didn't look at the corpse, but turned to Tracy: "Although you are good at magic mirror divination, I still want to ask, do you understand pendulum divination?"

"Understood."

Tracy answered curtly.

Regardless of whether this is Tracy's self-deprecating words, at least the dignified pirate general, or the witch who is known for her high inspiration, her divination level is definitely much better than that of ordinary divination club enthusiasts, and the test Adele wants to do, As long as the level of divination enthusiasts is enough.

"That's right, you take this and try it."

Adele unwrapped the twined pendulum from her wrist, and put it in Tracy's hand.

"This is a magical item that can increase the success rate of divination. If you use it to perform a pendulum divination, the divination statement will be "I will risk my life if I stay on the boat."

Of course Adele would not tell Tracy everything, so she simply introduced the purpose of the citrine pendulum, and did not tell Tracy the origin, and Tracy naturally would not ask ignorantly.

Tracy took the topaz pendant, and didn't immediately start divination, but lifted the topaz pendulum tied with a silver chain to her face, as if she wanted to see more clearly through the moonlight.

"What's the matter, do you have any questions?" Adele asked.

Tracy was stunned, and replied with a forced smile: "No...it's just, maybe it's my illusion, this pendulum looks familiar to me..."

"Do you know its original owner?" Adele was a little surprised. Could it be that Tracy is still related to Mister Fool?

"...No, I should have made a mistake."

Tracy looked at Adele, and felt that it was funny that she was like a frightened bird.

Adele seems to be an honest person, and she shouldn't have anything to do with that annoying lunatic...

Thinking like this, Tracy picked up the pendulum, silently recited the divination sentence seven times as Adele said, and then opened her eyes.

The pendulum is rotating clockwise, the amplitude is not large, and the speed is not fast.
