So I became a witch

"Sorry, but, that..." Her voice sounded a little stammered, she didn't know what she was talking about, but she just raised the flashlight in her hand.

Following the direction of the light, I saw the small skeleton lying on its back above the central chandelier.

"That person is..."

"Judging from the size, it should be one of the twins." I said softly.

Our hearts were a little heavy, and after only a short while, we found the second dead classmate, and the cause of death was unknown like Lu Ziping, but it was enough to give us a warning.If one person is a coincidence, then two people are inevitable.Lu Ziping and Gemini are definitely not weak, but they are still dead. This also shows that there is definitely something terrible hidden on this ship, something that can kill us.

"Well, can you help me up and take a look?" I suddenly said to Sita.

"Are you trying to see if there's a clue in her too?" Sita said.

"After all, we now have no other clues to investigate."

"OK, come up."

With permission, I took off my sneakers and, wearing only my socks, climbed onto Sita's shoulders, then hopped lightly onto the hanging lamp.As I expected, I found a discolored brass key in her pocket, which seemed to have some English letters engraved on it.

"C??T?I??O??" The part with the question mark is a letter crossed out by someone who doesn't know.

"Is this a crossword?" Sita said.

"Well, why don't I leave it to you, after all, Sita, aren't you a British nobleman?"

"I said that it was just my borrowed identity, ah, by the way, I don't seem to have told Luo Tianchen my real name yet."

"Ah, let's talk about that after this matter is resolved." I refused at the speed of light.

"Well, that's true." Sita looked a little disappointed.

Great, finally avoided the appearance of a FLAG.

"Speaking of the key, such a long word can only be the name of the place on this ship. If it starts with C, the ship-related...captain...is the captain room (captain's room)!"

"It does appear to be so," I agreed.

"Then, hurry up and have a look." Sita immediately suggested.

"Speaking of the captain's cabin, I remember that it should be at the bow of the tenth floor. If this is the sixth floor, you only need to walk a little further. Remember to be prepared."

Got the key to the captain's cabin!

Started with a nuclear flashlight!

Got Tim's diary!

What's going on with the déjà vu of this RPG game...

Including the props we obtained before, the upper limit of capacity is almost reached. After all, this is not a real game, and the backpacks are all in different dimensions.

All the way without words.There was no false appearance on the way, did he feel the danger, or simply disappeared?In short, this kind of quietness is not a good thing, and the vigilance in my heart has increased.

It just so happened that my room was also on the tenth floor, maybe Luo Yuze was not affected by it, and stayed in the room and fell asleep.If you add hers, there is basically nothing to be afraid of.

However, the scene in front of me broke my fantasy.

"How come..." Sita muttered to herself, making an unbelievable sound.

Starting from the ninth floor, the deck between the floors is divided into two halves. The scene in front of me reminds me of the appearance of cutting an apple in half. At least ten meters above the ground, it is impossible to do it with my current body.

However, just because I can't do it doesn't mean Sita can't do it.

"It looks like it's time for us to separate." I said lightly.

"……Hey?"

"With your strength, it is still possible to cross this distance. The key is in your hands, so I ask you to investigate the captain's room."

"Then, Luo Tianchen, what about you?"

"Me? I'll probably wander around here. Don't worry, I'll be fine. I have a hunch that the key to solving this puzzle may be in the captain's cabin, otherwise, she wouldn't be hiding there Place. At the scene, we only found the body of one person, the other person in the twins was missing, but it is very likely that he was also killed, and the other person ran out with the key, which shows its preciousness. So, please, find the real clue."

Sita remained silent, apparently convinced by me.

That's right, as long as it's like this.

Don't come near, don't know.

No understanding, no searching.

Once you get here, there's no turning back.

So, don't come near me anymore.Before everything happens, when it can be redeemed, leave my side.

Otherwise, you will definitely be like them.

Trapped into the unfortunate.

"I..." Sita opened her mouth.

Well, let's decide quickly.

"...Sure enough, let's not forget about it."

"……what?"

Chapter 37 note

"Wait a minute, do you know what I'm talking about?" My voice couldn't help raising, "There may be a key to solving the problem there!"

"Maybe that's the case. But, after thinking about it, I still can't leave Luo Tianchen alone." She scratched her cheek and said with some embarrassment.

"I told you, I'll be fine."

"However, it's too dangerous for you to stay here alone." Sita vetoed, "Just treat it as if I'm afraid of being alone and don't want to go there, so please let me stay by your side, okay?"

"...What, it's all about this, if I refuse again, won't it appear that I'm very ruthless?" I whispered.

"It's a pity, but the clues are interrupted here. What should we do next?" Sita said with a smile.

"Who do you think caused us to become like this..." I sighed, "There are no other roads leading to the captain's cabin from the map, let's find out if there is any way for me to pass there means. However, if there are no clues, it may not be true.”

"Oh? Luo Tianchen, did you find anything else?" Sita approached with interest.

"This is the diary, diary." I shook the dusty diary, "'every ten years, it will appear in the western Pacific Ocean, and it will disappear again in a storm that night'. From it Can roughly infer the time we are in."

"Huh? But didn't we see it on the laptop? 2116..."

"That's wrong." I categorically vetoed, "Generally speaking, the system time will be automatically adjusted after being connected to the Internet, but in this kind of ghost place, it doesn't look like there is an Internet connection. Then the time of the laptop It is completely provided internally. Once there is no battery, it will stop running like a clock. So what we see should be the time displayed after the last power-off shutdown. In other words, the time we are now should be It's after 2116."

"However, even if we know this, 100 years and hundreds of years are meaningless to us, right? And after such a long time, even with the automatic storage capacity of the battery, it has already leaked out? Why? Could Luo Tianchen still be able to open it at that time?" Sita said.

Indeed, generally speaking, the battery life of a notebook computer is about 2 years. If it is a bit extreme, it should be able to last for 5-10 years. Corrosion of the electric board, causing damage to the equipment.But no matter 2 years or 10 years, compared with 100 years, it seems too short, no matter how you look at it, it is too strange that it can still be used.

Unless, by the time we found out, the laptop hadn't been more than ten years old...

Let's sort out the information we have so far.According to newspaper reports, the Ellen Weiser cruise ship we were on lost contact in the early morning of June 2016, 6, and has appeared every ten years since then. 22 was the eighth time recorded in the newspaper; 2096 was the ninth time, and it was also the time when Tim boarded the ship and finally died here; and then at 2106:2116 am on June 6, 22, Lu Ziping’s notebook On the computer, the last recorded time.After ten years, all the passengers disappeared...Passengers...03 people...Huh?

"Wait a minute. By the way, Sita, do you still remember what happened when you went downstairs? Why did you come to the cafeteria?" I asked suddenly.

"Well, I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night and felt a little hungry, so I came down." She said bluntly.

"So, did you notice any other abnormalities? For example, the ship suddenly became tattered or something?"

"Well, I was sleepy at that time, so I didn't pay much attention. But there should be no changes." Sita said with some uncertainty.

"So do you remember when you came downstairs?"

"Well, it should be around 02:00 in the morning."

It seems that the situation is similar to mine, so the two of us will appear together?

Counting the time spent eating, searching, and exploring before, according to my body sensation, it should be around 02:55 now...

"Well, it feels like the sky is so dark tonight, I can't even see a single star, is it going to rain?" Sita suddenly murmured.

Hearing her voice, I raised my head involuntarily, and looked up from the crack in the deck. My eyes were full of dark clouds covering the sky, and it seemed that a storm would come from time to time.

The storm... not good!

My face changed drastically, and I grabbed Sita and ran wildly without saying a word. Before that, we were very careful walking on the first floor because we were afraid of the collapse of the ship's hull, but now I can't care about these at all.

"Hey? Hey? What happened?" Sita's face was full of question marks, but she ran after me obediently.

"It's time, time!" I explained anxiously while running without stopping.

"So it's about time?"

"Do you remember when we came out, everything was normal?"

"Uh, so what?"

"I'm afraid that the changes on this ship have already happened when we woke up. The two of us are the first batch, and every ten years after that, one person's time will be unlocked, wake up from sleep, and then die! A total of There are 12 people, except for the two of us, the first ten people may have been killed! Gemini is the ninth person, Lu Ziping is the tenth person, so the time displayed on his computer is June 2116, 6 22 :03! The current time, if I guessed correctly, should be 00, which is the 2126th year!"

"Hey? Hey? Hey? Wait, wait a minute, I don't understand at all! So what's the matter? Why are we running?"

"If you don't understand, I will explain to you later! Do you remember what was written in that diary?"

"Appeared in the morning, disappeared in the storm... Ah!" Sita cried out as if she understood something.

"The storm is coming!" I said briefly.

"But, why do we have to run when the storm comes? Although this ship is indeed dilapidated, it may not sink easily if it is so big. Even if it will sink, we can't run in this sea. Where are you going?" Sita asked puzzled.

"The storm is just a metaphor, which means that something dangerous is coming! Think about the two people we saw. With their strength, they died without any resistance, which shows that that thing is definitely not something we can resist now. I'm afraid, the time it appeared was recorded in the notebook, 03:00!"

Chapter 38 Darkness

That's what that laptop is really trying to tell us.I am afraid that Lu Ziping, like us, discovered the truth of the matter in other places. After realizing that he could not escape, he left hope to those who came after him, so he wrote such a note.

Behind us, the storm poured down, hitting the cracked deck with a screeching sound.Then mixed among them, countless Xuyan let out a mournful roar, hundreds?Or thousands?Anyway, it is a number that has absolutely no meaning to count, as if awakened by a storm, they climbed out of every corner in unison, blocking our way forward.

But they are nothing more than pediatrics compared to something "something" that follows us.Both I and Sita clearly realized that the feeling of "danger" was so strong that people would mistakenly think that they were dead, so Tim left the bloody words "I'm already dead" on the notebook?

Invisible, inaudible, inaudible, even if it is close at hand, it must never turn back.Sita didn't make another sound, even she was aware of the criticality of the matter.

However, in such a violent run, my physical strength was the first to fail.

Damn, the body of a child really has no advantage at all.

"...that's enough." I stopped suddenly, and Sita stopped after being taken aback by me.

"What's the matter? That monster is about to follow!" Sita looked at me anxiously and said.

"Sorry, I can't run anymore." I said with a wry smile, "So you run first and don't worry about me. If I'm not wrong, the restaurant should be a safe area, otherwise it won't be unaffected. Just run If we get there, the monsters shouldn't be chasing... huh?"

Before I could finish my sentence, Sita forcibly carried me on my back.

"Wait... what are you doing!"

"Stop talking nonsense! My old lady said she would protect you, and she will definitely do it!" In desperation, Sita revealed her irritable side again.

"But if that's the case, you can easily be caught up!" Although Sita's physical strength is more than enough to carry me on her back, her speed still involuntarily slowed down. Xu Yan, who rushed from all directions, was really hard to beat with two fists.After a while, all of Sita's clothes were tattered, and even her pretty face was scratched with blood, and the blood flowed down her cheeks and dripped to the ground.

The unknown behind us is gradually approaching, and we are getting closer and closer to the restaurant.

Hurry up, almost, as long as you run across this corner, you will be able to reach the restaurant!

Then what?I don't know, but my gut tells me that nine times out of ten it's a safe spot.

"!" Sita stopped suddenly and stopped.

The road collapsed.

The storm brings not only the pouring rain, but also the waves.The road leading to the restaurant was penetrated by falling objects from the sky, and it was bottomless.Compared with the road leading to the captain's cabin, this time the hole is even bigger, and it is also affected by strong winds and rainstorms. Even Sita alone may not be able to easily cross it.

"...So, put me down quickly, if you are alone, you still have a chance to escape." I said.

"...Although the time is short, I am very glad to know you, Luo Tianchen. For some reason, from the moment I saw you, my heart has been reminding me, absolutely, to do something. I don't I know if this is fate, but it is really great to come here to meet you." Even though she felt the crisis rushing from behind, Sita remained calm, showing a faint smile, and then hugged her with both hands. Tighten my waist and strike a projection pose.

"Wait, wait a minute! This kind of thing is impossible!" Realizing what she wanted to do, I hurriedly tried to break free from her, but her hands clamped my waist tightly like a vise Body.

"Don't worry, it's definitely possible. Didn't you say so? Never give up!" In an instant, her right eye emitted an ominous red light.

This is……? !

But how is this possible? !

Realizing what it was, my mind was full of question marks, and the words I wanted to ask were finally drowned in the strong wind.

"Analysis...completed! Give me... go!" Sita roared, and projected my whole body like a javelin.Before I had time to react, I was already hovering in the air, passing through various obstacles at a perfect angle. The moment before I landed, my body automatically reacted and rolled a few times on the deck. Despite being covered in dust, he was not harmed. The door of the restaurant behind him still stood peacefully in place, as if he was far away from the world, and there was no sign of a storm.

In this way, is it a success?
