Chapter 142 The Disappearing Person
Tofu hurriedly said: "Hey, hey, it's okay, there must be a limit to showing affection, where is one person, isn't there me and Boss Tang, Miss Gu, do you treat the two of us as transparent? "Rao Gu Wenmin has always been relatively calm, but now she was teased by Tofu, she also blushed a little, and pursed her lips in embarrassment.

I patted her on the shoulder and said: "There is something wrong with this boat. I am afraid of accidents. Professor Lin and the others also need personal protection. Officer Gu, who is both smart and beautiful, will entrust you with this glorious task. Don't worry, I am not Tofu, it won't be so easy to get into trouble."

Seeing this, Gu Wenmin had no choice but to give up. A few of us went to the fish cabin to quickly get the equipment. There were only four sets of bulletproof vests, which were taken away by the bald four.There were only four small assault rifles, and they also took them away. It seemed that they were their unique equipment. When we opened the remaining equipment bag, we found three pistols, and there were no cold weapons other than that.

Tofu has fallen in love with that thing since the first time he used the shovel to kill the old corpse of the Qing Dynasty. He felt that with the shovel on his body, he could not only make a hole to escape, but also be used as a weapon. , but felt insecure, took out a shovel from another pile of mushroom digging equipment and pinned it to his waist, and then gave up.

Pistols are relatively simple, so you don't need to teach them much. It's not the first time that Tofu and I have played. Tang ** said that he likes to collect imitation weapons, so it may be better than Tofu and me in terms of accuracy.He stared at the shovel on Tofu's waist, and asked thoughtfully: "Are you...?" Halfway through the conversation, he stopped talking, shook his head and said, "Pretend I didn't ask."

Tofu said: "If you have something to say, I am most annoyed by people who play tricks. Don't you just want to know what we do? Let me tell you, how many of us are..." Before he finished speaking, Tang **meng Covering his mouth, he frowned and said, "I don't want to know, don't tell me." Then he turned and left.

Tofu was a little puzzled, scratched his head and asked me: "Is there something wrong with this person? I obviously wanted to know, but I told him mercifully, but he didn't listen. How could a man be as awkward as a woman. "

I took a look at the tofu, and said to myself: The more I know, the sooner I will die. We, the group of people, can see that we are on a wrong path.That Mrs. Tang is a smart person, he is obviously guarding against us, he doesn't want to know too much, he is afraid that if we know something that we don't know, we are afraid that we will turn our face and silence us.

Murder at sea has never been a crime, because no one will know about it.Regardless of whether he is a financial tycoon or not, he has to be subdued when he should be subdued. He can afford his figure and let go of his airs. I have to say that this Tang man is definitely a character.

I didn't bother to explain this to Tofu, so I kicked him and told him to leave quickly. The three of them reached the bow of the boat and made a secret sign with everyone: If there is any danger, they should fire a warning shot. They just need to listen to the signal on the boat.

Immediately afterwards, the three of us, Tofu and Tang, quickly turned over to the opposite ship, walked quickly across the wooden deck, and headed for the command room with dim light bulbs.

This fishing boat looks no different from ordinary fishing boats. Walking into the command room, there is a slightly old console on the right side. On the hook above the head, there is a light bulb with simple wires hanging on it, emitting a dim yellow light. The dark brown wooden boards reflected a dim light.

On the ground in the northwest corner of the command room, there is a square entrance, which should be the way to the lounge on the first floor.The three of us stood at the entrance and looked down. Part of the light hit the entrance, revealing the wooden stairs, and the place further down, the light couldn't penetrate, and there was only darkness.

Tofu said sharply: "There is no light below, there must be something weird." We thought there was someone on the bed before, so the bald-headed four people did not carry flashlights or the like on board.Now judging from the situation, all the lights below are extinguished, and things seem weird.If the four bald people went down to the cabin on the first floor, they would definitely turn on the light source.

What kind of situation caused the darkness below?
Damaged power supply?

I couldn't figure it out, so I turned my head and said to Tofu, "Go back quickly and bring three flashlights." Tofu didn't delay, and ran back to the boat a few times, and took three flashlights in a short while, the three of us Turn on the light source, and then walk down carefully.During this process, we don't know what will happen under the cabin, so we can only try our best to be careful, hold our breath, and act lightly.Soon, we reached the bottom, with many narrow doors on both sides, where the crew rested.Five of the doors were closed.

I looked at the cracks under the five doors. It was dark inside, which showed that no lights were turned on behind the doors.

I don't know if there is anyone inside the door, but the place in front of my eyes is empty.

The entire first floor is divided into two parts. The crew lounge and the associated material storage room are integrated. There is a door on the wall of the material storage room. When the door is opened, there is a fish cabin inside. This is exactly the same as the design of most fishing boats. There is nothing fancy about it.Now, however, the only thing we can see is the void.

There was a dead silence in the whole cabin, with the closed lounge door and the empty material room, there were no women and children tied up as we imagined, nor the pirates we were guarding against, and there was no one.Even the four bald people disappeared.

The situation in front of me was extremely strange, Tofu swallowed his saliva, leaned closer to me, and said, "Old Chen, something is wrong, where have everyone gone?"

Let's not talk about those pirates, just talk about the four bald men.

We watched them enter the boat, and they disappeared without a sound. No one could stand the excitement.

Mrs. Tang probably 'revisited the old place', brought back some bad memories, her face was a little blue, she remained silent, and looked around gloomyly.

Our flashlights fired a few rounds, but there was nothing abnormal. The only thing worth noting was probably these closed lounges.I winked at Tofu, and he immediately understood, at least they are brothers of more than ten years, there is still some tacit understanding, the two looked at the door of the first room, one left and one right, Tofu turned the handle, He shook his head slightly, indicating that he couldn't open it.

The door is locked from the inside, which means there are people inside the door!
In fact, the crew lounge generally does not have a key, because the door is relatively simple to make, and some fishing boats do not even have a door.The area of ​​small fishing boats is limited, so each lounge is very narrow, and there are two bunk beds attached to the wall. There is no privacy at all. In addition, there are no valuables on board because of fishing, so like this It is very abnormal to have the door locked tightly.

Someone was inside and turned off the lights.

No matter how I look at it, it's a bit like an ambush.So I raised my fingers towards the tofu, one, two, three, when the third finger was raised, the two of them kicked towards the door with all their strength. He was kicked away.The light of the flashlight, as the door opened, shone in instantly. '

The small lounge was unobstructed, and there was no one there.

The tofu screamed and said: "This is unscientific! There is no one inside, and there is no key. How can the door be locked from the inside?"

He looked at me, and I was also dumbfounded at the moment, shaking my head and saying, "I don't know, grandma, what the hell."

As soon as Tofu heard it, he said: "Don't mention this word in the future, is it okay? I have seen too much recently, and I have a phobia of zongzi."

He rubbed his temples again, and dangled the flashlight in his hand around the lounge, looking around.The lounge was just as I imagined, with two bunk beds against the wall, very narrow, and the aisle in the middle could only accommodate the next person, covered with sheets and quilts, it was a mess, and there was a bad smell. Looking at this lounge, there must be several men living there.

I really don't understand how the door was locked from the inside. Is it the same as Conan that Tofu often sees, is it caused by some strange technique?But the people living on this ship are pirates, not high-intelligence reasoners, who would do such a boring thing?
Tofu also got angry at this moment, cursed secretly, and said: "I really don't believe it, if you want me to know who is pretending to be a ghost, you must take a layer of his skin, rape a hundred times for a woman, and rape a man... …No, men don’t rape, throw them into the sea to feed sharks.” He said, he walked to the second door, which was also closed tightly, and after we kicked the door open, there was still no one inside, and the facilities were similar, Same disorganization.

After that, no one spoke. The three of us kicked the door in silence. Soon, we kicked open the doors of several lounges, and there was no one there.

Everyone on this boat disappeared.

Sweat was already dripping on Tofu's forehead, and he said, "Why don't we go back first, the longer I stay on this boat, the more panicky I feel." I nodded, and just as I was about to back out, Tofu suddenly pulled my hand lightly After a moment, he pointed to one of the lounges and kept motioning, but he didn't open his mouth.I followed the gaze of his fingers, and I was suddenly happy.

It was at the foot of the bed. Because there were a lot of suitcases piled up under the bed, I didn't notice it at first. Then I followed Tofu's hand and found a human hand faintly protruding there, and that hand was silent. Quietly, she kept shrinking in, trying to hide herself, but probably the space under the bed was too small, so she didn't hide a little bit, and Tofu found out.

Tofu was also very smart, he made an excuse that he was afraid to leave, but in fact he looked very excited, and he winked at me, obviously, he wanted to arrest someone.Looking at it this way, there must be people hiding under the beds in the other lounges.

It's strange that these pirates kill people without blinking an eye, and they have guns in their hands, so they won't be scared to hide when they see us.

And this broken door can be kicked open with one kick, what's the point of hiding under the bed?

I couldn't figure out the reason for this for a while, so I signaled Tofu and Mrs. Tang to go into the lounge, preparing to arrest the people inside, but as I walked, I kept talking about retreating.

The three of them entered the room and immediately locked the door to prevent other people in the lounge from rushing to the back and firing hidden guns.

Immediately afterwards, Tofu pointed the gun under the bed and shouted: "You are already surrounded, put down your weapon, stop resisting, put your head in your hands, and squat down obediently!"

As Tofu spoke, he watched the person under the bed vigilantly.

Miss Tang guarded the door to prevent anyone from rushing out suddenly, while Tofu and I pointed our guns under the bed, waiting for the people inside to surrender obediently.

Unexpectedly, after talking for a long time, the people under the bed just squeezed into the bed. Seeing that their hands were almost gone, I couldn't believe it, and said, "Is there some secret passage under the bed? Damn it, Tofu, shoot!" Tofu's shooting position was better. The man was huddled in the pile of debris under the bed, his body was completely invisible, and he could only see half of his hand. When Tofu shot past, he hit the opponent's hand.

Unexpectedly, the shot was fired, but there was no reaction.

It stands to reason that if a normal person gets shot, he should at least scream, right?Tofu was stunned, and said, "No, no, why didn't you make a sound, could it be a dead person?"

I said: "How can a dead person move! I really don't believe in that evil!" I stepped up fiercely, motioned for Tofu to continue to raise the gun as a warning, and squatted down by myself, and took out the assorted suitcases and other things under the boat. The objects were moved out, and only two were removed; the person hidden inside revealed half of his figure, which looked like a woman, shivering.

When I saw it, I realized that it was probably a woman who was detained by pirates. She hid under the bed for some reason, so I said: "We are here to save you. If you made a noise just now, you wouldn't have been shot in vain." , come out, don't be afraid."

The woman looked very embarrassed, her face was covered with disheveled hair, her body was just shaking non-stop.When Tofu saw that he was not an enemy, he put down his gun, lay down on the ground and said to the person under the bed, "Don't be afraid. Miss Tang, look, it's your person. It seems that her spirit has been stimulated. Get her out quickly!" While speaking, I looked towards Mrs. Tang at the door. Immediately afterwards, the expression on Tofu's face froze instantly, and my throat slid with difficulty, as if there was something terrifying by the door behind me.

My heart skipped a beat, and I turned my head sharply with the gun in hand. There was nothing behind me, nothing.

nothing...

Where did Mrs. Tang go?

Just when Tofu and I got down on our bodies and talked to the woman under the bed, Mrs. Tang disappeared behind us without any movement...

Even if he wanted to leave this room, he would always make a sound when he opened the door, right?
what on earth is it?

I never thought that such a bizarre thing would happen on the first night of this trip to sea.Is it because my luck is too low, or is it because my horoscope is not prosperous?

The door behind me was still tightly closed, and Mrs. Tang was like evaporated water, without leaving any clues, so I came up with an idea, thinking that the four bald-headed people got out of the cabin, and there was no movement at all. Didn't get it out, could it be that he also encountered the same weird situation as Mrs. Tang?How exactly did they disappear?
I couldn't help but look at the silent, trembling woman curled up under the bed, and said in a deep voice: "Tofu, don't be sympathetic, get her out, and ask her how she is." This place is very narrow, and the two of us It was inconvenient for a big man to lie down at the same time, so Tofu did it for him.Hearing this, he immediately stretched out his hand to grab the woman inside, and said, "Come out, baby." Why do I sound a bit like a bully molesting women?
The tofu was strong enough, when he pulled it, he heard a stab, and then he fell to the ground, holding something in his hand.When I saw it suddenly, I felt that my muscles were stiff, and I guess the expression on my face couldn't be better, but I saw that Tofu was holding a severed palm in his hand.

Holding the severed hand, Tofu looked like he was about to cry, and said, "I, I didn't use much force, why did this hand break?"

I thought to myself, how could it be possible to tear off a person's hand with just the strength of Tofu?And even if it was really broken, why didn't the woman inside move a little bit, not even scream?Isn't she human?Or not a living person, but a corpse?But why does the corpse move?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, and I didn't care about the narrowness anymore. I forced myself to lie down and turned on the light inside. The light from the two flashlights gathered together, making it bright.

I saw that the woman inside was still shaking, and the hand that was torn off by the tofu had skin and flesh rolled up at the cut, which was dark red and smelly, and there was a previous gunshot wound on the arm.

I'm almost sure it's not a living person, but what exactly is playing tricks?Being fooled by such a meal, my anger also came up, but I didn't dare to reach out to grab it rashly. I untied the shovel on Tofu's waist, and poked the person inside with my backhand.All of a sudden, the touch felt wrong.

Human flesh is elastic, and I didn't use much strength, so the tactile sensation is different when I poke it.

But now, I poked her back with a shovel, but it felt like a soft cake was poked, and a horseshoe-shaped wound was formed on the woman's back immediately.

When I poked her, she didn't move, her hair was disheveled, and she fell quietly on the ground.At this time, I suddenly discovered that there was a dark wriggling thing faintly exposed under the woman's belly, a bit like a snake, it seemed to be pressed by her and was running away.

But in this vast sea, how could there be snakes?

Even if it's a sea snake, it shouldn't be on the boat.

I kept an eye out, kept my composure, aimed at the dark moving thing under the woman, and shoveled it with a shovel. This move was full of force, and the edge of the shovel was very sharp, even if it was a human arm. , must also be cut down.The thing was hit hard, and it was cut in two in an instant, but for some reason, it didn't bleed, and the remaining part shrank suddenly under the woman, and the broken half was exposed to our sight.

I swept it out with a shovel, fiddled with it, and looked in front of my eyes, but it was about the thickness of an arm and about three inches long. What are the tentacles of sea creatures.

Tofu said, "Could it be an octopus?"

I thought it was unlikely, so I said: "The tip of the octopus is the thinnest, but look at this, the tip alone is as thick as an arm, how big is that octopus. No matter, get the woman out first, and see What's going on?" Tofu and I carefully pulled out the person inside, only to find that the other person was soft and boneless after pulling it out. After pulling out, his head was tilted back with the movement, and the hair was parted on both sides, revealing the Since the face was covered.

It's hard to predict what the owner's original appearance will be. In short, the face in front of me and Tofu has been distorted to an astonishing degree. The facial features are almost displaced, as if he died in great pain. The people watching it are shocking .

It really is a dead man!
