Infinite spooky game

Chapter 76 Hopeless Sea ([-]) Greed-Greed
After the copy of "Rose Manor" ended, Chang Xu reported the progress of the copy to his superiors in the recording room as required.

After listening to this, the boss commented: "If you can meet that Qiss again, you can fight for it. What we lack most at the moment are intelligent players. And if I remember correctly, this person is an old man who has been paying attention to the Public Security Bureau for a long time." I’m an acquaintance, and my background is cleaner than most investigators.”

"He has been able to see ghosts since he was a child. Both his parents are dead, and most of his relatives are also dead. The Public Security Bureau has always been afraid that he has anti-social tendencies. They have been observing him for six years, but they have not found that he has done anything illegal... … One more year and it’s time to take him off the priority list.”

Chang Xu truthfully stated that when he thought of Qisi, he felt fear in his heart, his neck felt cold, and a series of dangerous intuitions were triggered.

The boss' mouth twitched and said: "You had the same feeling when you met Fu Jue from the headquarters before - I think you hate all smart people equally. To be honest, I met him yesterday when I went to the eastern suburbs to investigate. See He is a very sincere young man.”

"Didn't the Destiny Pocket Watch fall into his hands? If we meet again and we have something to talk about, you just follow him and tell him that he doesn't need to return it. Wouldn't it be familiar after just two times? Listen to me, that prop is pretty useless. , [-] points can’t be sold in the mall, so it’s not a loss to exchange them for a regular teammate..."

……

Chang Xu felt guilty about using useless props to deceive his regular teammates, and Qisi mentally arranged the use plan of the tool man who came to his door. The two people with their own thoughts walked silently in the corridor, silently counting the room numbers, and finally ended up in Stand in front of the door on the far side.

Chang Xu took the key and took the lead, inserting the key into the keyhole, making a dull sound.

Qisi followed Chang Xu into the room and saw a room of about twenty square meters. The wooden window facing the door was wide open, revealing the golden sky with yellow clouds.

It doesn't matter whether it's day or night, the island has the color of dusk all day long. This kind of sky looks weird to the eyes, like a medieval religious oil painting.

Qiss walked straight over, stepping on the salt-corroded floor, making a hoarse "rustling" sound.

He stretched out his hand to pull the wooden window shut, and there was a long "squeak" sound, which made people feel itchy in their hearts.The window is missing a corner and cannot be closed tightly. Through the gap, you can still see the yellow sky and feel the sea breeze.

Qisi turned around and looked at the whole room. During this period, Chang Xu had already lit the oil lamp on the bedside table.Under the orange-red light, his eyes swept across the two narrow beds side by side and the low table sandwiched between them.

The desk drawer was half open, and you could see what seemed to be inside.

Qisi walked over and took out all the yellowed pages in the drawer.

The manuscript paper with a retro style is written with messy English words like snakes. It looks like a diary.At the moment of sight, Weird Game promptly translated the text content into Chinese on the system interface:

[Before I start recording my sailing career, I must first introduce myself. I am Zdravko Crouch. I have settled in York since my parents’ generation...]

The first diary is full of nonsense, mainly introducing the author's family background.Viscount Crouch's family was in decline, but he was quite good at speculation. With the support of the Queen, he embarked on a long voyage, intending to trade through the "Central Sea Route" and earn gold.

Qi Si handed the first page of manuscript paper to Chang Xu beside him, and continued to read the next few pages.

[Everything went smoothly than expected. I filled the bilge with African goods and headed for America along the established route.An unpleasant thing happened during this period. An old sailor got drunk and yelled that the sea between Bermuda and Miami was cursed by Poseidon. If you insist on passing there, people and ships will disappear together.This incident was so disturbing that I could only throw that alarmist bastard into the sea and feed it to the fishes. 】

……

[I haven’t docked at the shore for several days. I’ve eaten all the vegetables on the boat. My teeth are bleeding a little, but I’m still in good health.Several sailors made a fuss again and asked me to change the route, which was really a headache.I have studied Columbus's diary. When he passed through Bermuda, he did encounter quite a storm, but he still managed to get through it smoothly with his navigation experience. 】【There are many storms, large and small, on the sea, and you cannot avoid them all.Over the past century, shipbuilding technology has developed rapidly. Columbus could pass through Bermuda. I am driving the most advanced sailing ship in the world, so what do I have to be afraid of? 】

……

[An interesting horror legend: The souls buried in the sea could not find peace, so they were willing to be enslaved by the sea monster to bring more souls to the sea. 】

[After a ship on a voyage is targeted by the undead, some sailors will see an extra crew member on the deck. The crew member is just a black shadow and will not answer questions.He would just keep repeating the few seconds before his death in the dark night, falling from the deck into the sea, over and over again. 】

[Gradually, the sailors will lose their consciousness and jump into the sea with him, sinking and never coming up again.The undead will not stop until all living people on board are swallowed by the sea, leaving an empty ship to continue sailing along the established route. 】

[And everyone who sees this ghost ship will be haunted by the undead, die from anything related to water, and even drown in the bathtub of their own home. 】

……

[Some sailors claimed to have seen the undead on the deck, who were pushed off and turned into mermaids in the sea.This stupid donkey must have drunk too much. If there were no survivors like the story said, how did the legend spread? 】

……

There is a thin stack of paper pages at the back, which are stuck together as if they have been soaked in water, and even the writing on them is soaked into a ball, making it difficult to read.

Zeiss guessed that those pages of the diary probably recorded some of Viscount Crouch's experiences after he encountered a supernatural event and arrived at the Hopeless Sea.

It's a pity that I don't know what happened to this dear friend on the island, whether he ended up dead or alive.At best, this diary supplements some background information and is of little help for subsequent exploration.

"It is known that we saw undead falling into the water in the Hopeless Sea, and then encountered a shipwreck and arrived at Poseidon Island. Viscount Crouch had the same experience as us, but judging from the diary, he has been sailing in normal sea areas..."

After reading the diary, Chang Xu calmly analyzed a few sentences and asked: "What is the triggering mechanism of this terrifying legend? What state are we in now? Do we need to consider the factors of the undead if we want to leave the island?"

"I don't know, I only know that the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle has been explained, and those missing crew members have all come to the Hopeless Sea." Qi Si narrowed his eyes and made a joke.

He picked out the pages with legible writing in his hand and put them back in the drawer. Then he took the remaining soaked paper to the window, patiently tore it into shreds and pasted them into the window.

"There should be similar clues in other rooms, and we will have the answer after summarizing them tomorrow."

After sealing all the gaps with paper strips, Qisi stretched out his hand and waved in front of the window to make sure there was no more light or air leakage. Then he returned to the bed with satisfaction and sat down. He looked at Chang Xu and smiled narrowly: "It's still early. , Brother Chang, if you are anxious to know the answer, I can pick the locks in all the rooms..."

Chang Xu: ...No, I'm not in a hurry, thank you.
