The wind brought the unique fishy smell of the ocean. A huge cargo ship was moored quietly on the sea not far from the dock. It was now midnight. The ship had no lights or engine sound. The hull was in tatters and was still wet. There was moss all over the hull of the ship. The ship was discovered by a guard at the dock. The guard contacted the cargo ship when he saw it, but the ship ignored any instructions given.
Drifting aimlessly around the pier, the guard reported the incident. Not long after, the director of the pier led a group of managers to the place. After some observation, the director ordered to send out a few experts to drive. Ship to investigate.
After the group of crew members got closer, they discovered that there were two withered corpses on the plywood of the ship, and their limbs were missing. The legs and arms had disappeared. As everyone entered the ship to investigate, the scene became more and more terrifying.
Body remains can be seen everywhere in the corridor, and there is a large pot on the stove in the cabin kitchen. There is a human bone and arm, as well as some fat and meat scattered around the large pot.
The piece of meat was already crawling with maggots, but the objects in the pot had not undergone any qualitative change because they had been cooked in some way. Human remains can be seen everywhere on the ground nearby. Many people present felt a little uncomfortable and vomited when they saw the scene.
After exploring around, we found that there was no normal food and drinking water on the ship, so we speculated that this was the source of food that the crew had to accept because of hunger at that time.
It's hard to imagine what happened to this ship, and what is this tragic situation all about?
Mu Yu looked at the report in his hand and thought about where to start his investigation.
Originally, this incident should not have alerted the Security Department, but due to the disappearance of the guards on the ship the next day, and the strange noises heard in the middle of the night, even an official investigation team sent by the authorities lost contact here on the third day. This was handed over to the Security Department.
Currently, the idle staff in the department are Mu Yu and Jiang Ying, as well as Liu Jiao, who is also in the department. Ah San originally wanted to come, but Jiang Ying and her injured body refused.
However, with the addition of Liu Jiao, Mu Yu felt a lot more relieved. After all, she had cooperated with the other party before, and she was really reliable when it came to matters.
"Three comrades, is there anything else you want to know about this matter?" Chief Zhang Xing was standing by, waiting for the three of them to read the information. Two hours had passed, and there was no movement from the other party. , can’t help but ask.
When this happened, Zhang Xing, as the general manager, was naturally the most anxious. In the past two days, because of the strange rumors about this ghost ship, people here were panicking. Many workers had already resigned. In addition, this death Someone has been confirmed, and it has been passed down from one person to another. Most of the partners have already begun negotiations to divest their investment. How can we prevent people from being anxious.
Mu Yu raised his head, saw the anxious look on the man's face, and said: "We have seen the specific things in the report. Now we want to go to the freighter to see the situation. I wonder if we can arrange a moving ship for us. ?”
"Hey! Okay! I'll make arrangements right away!" The general manager was naturally happy about Mu Yu's suggestion. Being able to handle this matter as soon as possible was more important than anything else.
The report was compiled by the Security Department personally and handed over to them after they arrived here. The information team of the Security Department naturally gave it absolutely detailed information, so Mu Yu did not ask the chief for any relevant information and directly stated that he wanted to go check it out. Jiang Ying believed that Mu Yu had more ideas than she did, so she let him take charge of this mission, while Liu Jiao didn't care who was in charge, so Mu Yu was able to make the decision on this mission.
Earlier, for safety reasons, the cargo ship was towed back to the dock, but when people came to check it the next day, the cargo ship returned to the position where it appeared yesterday, and the guards who stayed on the ship They were unaware that the ship was moving at night, but when they counted the number of people, they found that two people were missing.
After searching all over the cabin, no one was found. The police who came to investigate the freighter also came. The freighter was towed back again. As a result, after a day of investigation, there was still no whereabouts. As night fell, a team of members He was also left to guard it. The same situation happened the next day. The freighter appeared on the sea again, but this time all the guards disappeared.
The strangeness and horror of this ship spread, and no one dared to tow it back to the dock. As soon as the news came out, it attracted the attention of society and the Internet, and various media rushed to report it.
This news also attracted the attention of foreign media. At that time, the captain of a cargo ship provided testimony, saying that before the ghost ship appeared, a ship similar to this ship had been seen on the sea a thousand miles away from Fuso, because After noticing that the ship was behaving strangely and considering whether he needed help, the captain sent a signal to the ship, but the crew of the ship stood motionless on the deck of the ship without any reaction.
Later, when the captain ordered the crew to approach the ship, the ship had disappeared without a trace.
However, information about this ship has also been revealed by people on the Internet. Some say it is a ship that disappeared decades ago, while others say it is a ghost ship that reappeared a hundred years ago. Anyway, there are different opinions.
However, the information provided by the Ministry of Security contained detailed information about the ship, and it was even more bizarre than the rumors on the Internet.
The ship's name is Ryoei Maru. It departed from Sanki Port, Fuso Kanagawa Prefecture on July 18, 2023. The captain is Miki Tokizo, and there are 11 other crew members. This trip was to transport a batch of cargo. Due to the second After stopping in Chiba Prefecture due to weather conditions, we set off again at three in the morning.
The trip lasted about fifteen days, and the Liangei Maru was supposed to return to the port in early August, but the ship never returned after setting off.
Mu Yu boarded the dilapidated shipwreck. Seeing the rusty hull, it was hard to imagine that this was a ship that had just left the sea a month ago.
Boarding the hull, the tragic scene in the report was not seen. During the police investigation, all the remains had been taken away, and replaced by a white stripe with a human outline, indicating the location of the victim.
There was no dust-filled scene in the cabin as Mu Yu imagined. Although objects were lying messily on the ground, the overall look was still clean. It seemed that the hull was corroded like this, but the objects in the cabin were. Not much has changed.
"What do we do now?" Jiang Ying asked Mu Yu, saying that she came to investigate the missing members, but so far, the information after boarding the ship is basically consistent with the report, and there is no direction for investigation.
Mu Yu was also speechless. How did this silly girl get transferred to the execution team? Does she not have the ability to think logically?
"So far, the incidents have been at night, so now we just have to wait and see what happens here at night."
"Then what are we doing here now?"
"Looking for something, a logbook. I want to know what happened on this ship." Mu Yu pushed open the first mate's room. It was usually the first mate's job to record the logbook.
In the report, it was mentioned that the police found nothing when searching for the logbook. If they could find it, they would know what happened during this period. If there was no recorded information, they would at least know where the ship was when it disappeared. time happened.
Jiang Ying thought it made sense, so she turned to other rooms to search, while Liu Jiao arrived at the ship's command room.
After searching for a while, the two heard Liu Jiao calling: "Found it!"
The two quickly headed to the cabin, only to see the other person holding a small signal pen.
Mu Yu also knew why the police couldn't find the logbook. Even he himself thought it was a diary. He didn't expect that the crew on the ship were so stupid and used signal pens to record. It was really difficult to find it among the debris that could be seen everywhere, and the police only stayed on the boat for a day when something happened, and they didn't have time to investigate everywhere.
"I've seen people use such a signal pen to record things before, so I noticed it when I first saw it. After listening to it, it was indeed a logbook." Liu Jiao handed the signal pen to Mu Yu and told her how to use it.
Mu Yu rewinds to the place where the signal pen originally recorded and started playback.
A rustling sound came out, and after a while, a deep male voice came. It was a Fuso dialect, and the original intention was to test whether the recording was normal.
Jiang Ying raised her hand and tapped her wrist twice. He said to Mu Yu: "This bracelet has a translator. You can adjust it in the settings so you can understand what the other person is saying."
Mu Yu once again sighed that this thing was really practical and powerful. He was still worried about not being able to understand the Fuso language. The person who designed this thing was really a genius.
The three debugged it for a while before playing the log again.
The original Fusang language has now become fluent Chinese, and the intonation is not a robotic sound that makes people feel uncomfortable.
That really made Mu Yu praise the designer twice. It was so damn human!
The man was telling the story of setting sail, and you could also hear the laughter and quarrels of the crew here. I guess no one expected that it would turn out like this when they just set sail.
Everyone was still singing and laughing, but now looking at the dilapidated ship, the warmth and liveliness were no longer there.
After that, the man kept boring and boring records, including which beaches he passed, what the direction was, even how many buckets of water he used, and how much food was distributed and used. All were recorded in this log.
Mu Yu and others were made to feel sleepy after hearing this. It was true that except for the landmarks and directions, everything else seemed too casual and uninspiring.
But when the diary comes to July 27th, the real highlight comes.
