Mysterious as the wind, always with me.

133 - Strange layout
The viscous spiritual space makes it easy to slow down after everything flies out.

Only the ghost cannon, a special artillery that wraps 'cannonballs' with highly concentrated spiritual power, can fly people farther at a certain speed after accelerating.

Originally, Vivienne was facing forward, but just before hitting the gap, she turned over beautifully, and at the same time, her body released a large amount of dark night breath, causing her body to further slow down.

And the cloak she tied on specially seemed to have some kind of power to slow down and slow down.

This allowed her to rush onto the cruise ship without any risk.

The second is Abner. As a veteran judge, even if his strength has dropped due to injury, he still has quite good strength.

The third one is Conrad. When he was approaching the gap, he was intercepted by the claws of the black mist, but at the last moment, he briefly transformed into a flash of lightning and rushed in.

Finally there is Mark.

Since taking the agility bonus of Valkyrie's legs, it's no problem for Mark to fly over the wall.When approaching at high speed, the claws of the black mist did grab it, and at the same time, Minnie's Lingsi had already grabbed the beams and other building structures on the gap. After a bit of pulling, Mark dexterously avoided the volley and also went in.

The successful entry of the four assaulters was witnessed by a large group of people.

At the observation points of the spirit world, admiration rose at the same time.

"A marvelous young man."

"Vap's hero is really capable."

Compared with the first few assaults that lost troops but had no effect, this time the return to the assault style of elite personnel, regardless of success or failure, has made everyone more acceptable.

Next, leave it to them.

Mark plunged into the breach, feeling himself first through a layer of sticky air.

Unexpectedly, there is not much atmosphere of the spiritual world inside, but it seems to be on a ship sailing on the sea.

"Ka... quack..." Along with the fluctuation of the tide in the spirit world, the hull shook slightly.

For a large ship of nearly 200 meters, the shaking is actually quite slight.

Mark carefully observed the surroundings, and found that the conventional power had already been cut off, and some of the electrical systems on the ship had stopped working, but it was not without light. The emergency kerosene lamps were still stubbornly shining on the beams and columns of the steel channel. Dim lights.

This is definitely not normal, even if there is refueling, if no one is going to deal with the lamp twist, the lamp twist is 10 cm long, and it burns for ten hours, which is not bad, at most 30 hours.

That doesn't explain why the kerosene lamps still lasted for three days.

The cold light can reach a radius of about two meters at most, and it can't be helped any further.

However, the average distance between two kerosene lamps is more than 8 meters. This lack of light has seriously aggravated people's uneasiness.

Mark has [Night Owl], the protection of the power of the night lady, which allows Mark to have a certain degree of dark vision.It's a pity that it's a bit unreliable here.Because there is an ominous black mist hovering in the darkness, this is the culprit that seriously obstructs the line of sight.

At this moment, a slight, rhythmic electrical sound came from a distance to Mark's left.

This is a small sound generator made of batteries, which is specially used for each team member to communicate with each other.

Mark silently pressed the sounder and replied to [Gather me].

However, there was a sudden echo from the passage next door, which turned out to be exactly the same signal, also [Assemble to me].

This bad discovery made Mark frown.

"It seems that the other side didn't make any preparations!" Mark muttered.

Obviously, this is a magic circle similar to a maze, which is used to fill the gap.

If Mark rushed in immediately after the big crab opened the gap, most likely the opponent would not have time to defend again.But being stuck by pig teammates for so long, Mark can only accept this passive state.

Luckily, Mark has dice.

"Isn't it? This way?"

In front of you is a broken room torn into a spiky hell.After the hull was broken, it brought a lot of twisted steel bars and metal walls that rolled out of shape. Not to mention people, even dogs would be hard enough to pass by.

Perhaps only cats can move through such ruins flexibly.

As soon as Mark reached out and tapped with the dagger in his left hand, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

He missed it!
"This..." Mark kept blocking with his left hand and holding the revolver with his right hand, and slowly groped into this thing similar to 'ghost hitting the wall'.After a feeling of passing through the water curtain, Mark was surprised to find that he had come to the public passage on the side of the cruise ship.

The things within the field of vision are no longer hidden in the pitch black. Even though there is a black mist outside, the light from the spirit world still penetrates the black mist, illuminating the scene on the deck quite clearly.

"I... came out?" Mark immediately realized what kind of psychological blow he would cause to the other party by breaking through the maze so quickly: "If that's the case, then... let's do it!"

Mark recruited the mechanical puppet of the Mechanicus, and the card placed behind it was the latest death knight Alanzo.

The miserable green knight sat on a horse of the same color, but the emptiness in his eyes told Mark, the master, that his intelligence was still limited.

A summoned creature with a body that can be possessed is much better than a guy that is simply created with a spirit summoning circle.

"Go! Alanzo, attack the place with the strongest spiritual power on this cruise ship."

The death knight bowed silently, and immediately rushed all the way to the center of this giant [abnormality].

Mark didn't know that it would be a tightly guarded secret room, or an unbreakable magic circle, or even another [nest].

Without the barrier of the labyrinth, Mark can roughly sense that the place should be near the bridge.

This is [Save what you attack the enemy]!
And a death knight with almost no loss of strength is enough for the opponent to drink a pot.

Mark then summoned several priests of the Sin Sect with spiritism.Let these puppets attack all evil factions.As for meeting Abner... let them sacrifice.

Anyway, death is unpredictable, death is healthier.

In doing so, it can prevent the opponent from taking the opportunity to divide the siege and kill Mark's companions, reducing the risk of Conrad and Vivienne; secondly, taking advantage of this opportunity, Mark can slip away to see if there are any survivors up.

Sure enough, when Mark turned to the place that was theoretically the VIP area, Mark immediately found that the atmosphere was not right.

"This is……"

What he saw was a pale humanoid object.

If you have to say what it looks like, it probably looks like a common mummy in games.

A substance similar to spider silk wraps it layer by layer. Seeing it kneeling on the ground and using its hands and feet together, it is completely conceivable how terrified it must be before being hit.

Mark thought for a few seconds before deciding to install the centipede lantern kit for himself.

It was a mechanical structure similar to a gun holster tied under the armpit, and Helena helped him build it herself.Via a set of shoulder straps, a lightweight metal bracket protrudes from the back of Mark's left shoulder to hang the centipede lamp.

This freed up Mark's hands to continue holding a sword in one hand and a gun in the other.

Using the sharp blade of [Night Owl] to gently cut open the off-white fake mummy, Mark immediately discovered that this guy was a male waiter.

It has been dead for at least three days, and the corpse spots are concentrated and fixed on the limbs and their vicinity. If this is not the spirit world, the smell alone may attract a large number of flies.

There were no obvious injuries on the deceased.

Mark had a guess that this guy was scared to death on the spot.

At this moment, Mark suddenly felt that he had lost contact with Alanzo - he could not directly give new orders to the death knight through the soul circuit, but he could still feel that Alanzo was in good condition.

Maybe this is Alanzo falling into a new maze?
Mark had a new speculation: "The other party seems to be avoiding fighting? Just right, I need time too."

As Mark probed deeper in the VIP area, he found more mummy-like things.

Some victims belch the first time.

The strange thing is that quite a few people were not killed immediately, but lived for at least one day while being bound by the spider silk.

Mark even found what looked like a water bag in the corner of some of the victims' mouths.

It's some sort of demonic vacuole or something that holds about 500 milliliters of water that flows through a plastic habit and into the victim's mouth.

Just water, no food.

This discovery gave Mark a preliminary guess about the identity of the enemy.

"It really is a grand performance!"

Mark quickly searched the VIP area on the starboard side of the first deck, but there were no survivors.

In fact, the so-called VIP area is only different from ordinary second-class cabins and third-class cabins.Those cabins are all located below the deck, and there is a round porthole on the side of the ship to barely watch the outside scenery.

The really nice rooms all start on the second floor on the deck.

The rooms on the upper floors are bigger and more beautiful. The luxurious suites on the top floor even have large floor-to-ceiling windows, which offer a panoramic view of the sea.

Mark followed the stairs to the third floor.

Relying on the light of the lantern, he immediately noticed that there was a well-decorated VIP room with a [Nelson] sign on the door.

This is to prevent VIPs from entering other rooms by mistake, and the guest's surname will be hung on the door.

If Mark remembers correctly, one of the noble ladies in the salon—Yalde—had this surname.

He didn't give too much hope, directly inserted the dagger into the door lock, broke the lock, and opened the tight door.

This is a nearly 50 square meter suite with one bedroom and one living room.

Through the empty living room, Mark entered the room.

Although it was pitch black, a familiar aura rushed over.

Mark noticed that there were some debris scattered on the bed.

At this time, there was a large cabinet in the corner of the room that looked a bit like a church confessional.This is a small shelter exclusively for nobles. When [abnormality] occurs, nobles can hide in it.

The outer panels of this small shelter are often engraved with the holy names of the gods who are most effective against [abnormalities].For example, this one is the god engraved with Ms. Hei Ye.

It's a pity that the protective effect of this thing is limited.It's okay to guard against the garbage of Sequence 9, but it can't be stopped by advanced demons.

This one is obviously so, and Mark can see that the outer panel is tattered and has been gouged through long ago.

Mark hadn't given up hope.

He meowed, he actually heard the faint sound of breathing.

"Mini!"

Miss Doll's spirit thread appeared out of thin air lightly, cutting and opening the cabinet door.

A slim mummy fell out on the spot.

The posture of kneeling down and praying is quite sad, but when Mark cut the spider silk with [Night Owl], he was stunned.

"Yalde?"
