"It seems that we still have to give it a chance..."
Zhan Jingyi thought for a while, made a decision, and said to Zhong Qiang and others: "In this case, you should be careful here, close the doors and windows, and pay more attention to the surrounding movements. I will go out for a while."
"Close the doors and windows...will it be useful?"
In response to this, many soldiers expressed their opinions and did not believe in closing doors and windows.
"It should be useful, unless the other party is really a ghost..."
Zhan Jingyi thought about it for a while, and then said with an idea: "In addition, to be on the safe side, we may also use several methods to protect ourselves. For example, first, we can tie everyone's hands with ropes and connect them to each other to avoid sudden changes. Who can’t be seen again…”
"Second, this is a restaurant. Go to the kitchen to find some flour and sprinkle it on the surrounding ground, including outside. This will also make it easier to check the footprints..."
After listening to his words, everyone felt that this arrangement was good. Even Professor Li Zhong said it was a good idea. They immediately had a backbone. Under Zhong Qiang's arrangement, everyone divided into several groups to find rope and flour respectively.
Rope and flour are commonly used things and are very easy to find. Soon, Zhan Jingyi watched them get ready, then nodded and said to Zhong Qiang: "You guys stay here, pay more attention, I will go out for a while. "
"I need some privacy to think about it..."
"Private space?"
Zhong Qiang was suddenly startled and looked at Zhan Jingyi worriedly. Being alone at this time could easily cause trouble.
"It's okay, don't worry."
Zhan Jingyi knew what he was worried about and said with a smile: "If something really comes to look for me, it will be easier to deal with. I'm afraid it won't come."
Although Zhong Qiang still felt that doing so was too dangerous and could not dispel his worries, looking at Zhan Jingyi's insistent eyes, he still nodded silently, but still repeatedly told him to be more careful.
Zhan Jingyi smiled and nodded to him and the others. Under everyone's gaze, he opened the door of the restaurant and left alone.
He followed the passage to the cabin and returned to the cabin where he lived before. At this moment, the room seemed unusually quiet. After closing the door and turning on the light, the fluorescent lamp made a clicking sound, as if the voltage was unstable.
"Squeak..."
Zhan Jingyi sat down on the bed. He took out his phone and dialed Li Wanting, but he only heard a blind tone, indicating that the call could not be connected.
In other words, there is no signal at all.
Zhan Jingyi pondered for a while, put the phone into his backpack, took off the Tang Dao and put it on the cabinet beside him, then lay down on the bed, crossed his hands on his stomach, stared at the ceiling, and thought silently. ,waiting.
He lay quietly for a long time, and slowly fell asleep. The night outside was getting thicker and thicker, and a breeze swirled in from the window, causing the curtains to tremble slightly.
…
When Zhan Jingyi woke up, he checked the time and saw that he had slept for an hour. He sat up, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and sighed again.
After waiting for so long, nothing unusual came to me, and I couldn't help but feel bored.
He had to think to himself, what on earth is going on? Is this monster really gone?
What you are encountering now must be due to being attracted by the mermaid, right?
Li Wanting had reminded herself before that this time it might be very dangerous and she needed to be more careful.
But I didn't expect it to be so weird. I just thought there would be a mermaid song. Unexpectedly, the mermaid didn't cause any big trouble, but lost a lot of people inexplicably.
Of course, I can't ignore this situation now. However, I haven't succeeded in fishing, so what should I do next?
What other solutions are there for this kind of thing?
Now Professor Li Zhong and Han Xiao don't have any good ideas, so they can only rely on themselves to think more.
"It seems like you won't come to me anymore..."
After sitting for a few more minutes smoking, Zhan Jingyi glanced out the window expectantly, and finally lowered his head in disappointment.
"ah……"
At this moment, a series of panicked screams suddenly sounded in the distance, and soon, the sound of striding running was heard outside the house.
Soon, the door was pushed open, and Zhulong's crying voice sounded: "It's not good, captain, just now... someone disappeared again!"
"Um?"
Hearing his words, Zhan Jingyi frowned slightly, stood up quickly, and followed him through the passage back to the restaurant.
I saw that the restaurant at this time was already in a mess. The ropes tied to everyone's wrists were still in good condition, but there were many round condoms on them, hanging loosely. But before The person tied by the rope has disappeared.
Moreover, the flour on the ground was already messy with footprints.
Everyone was walking on the flour in panic, looking around. Some people even lay down under the table, shaking like a sieve, looking really frightened.
Seeing Zhan Jingyi coming over, Zhong Qiang hurriedly greeted him and said with a hint of anxiety and panic in his tone: "Just now... we have been sitting here just now, nothing happened, but I feel... I feel in my heart I felt a little uneasy, so I asked someone to call my name again, but I didn’t expect..."
"There were 289 soldiers and 111 crew members, waiters and others here just now, a total of 400 people. In addition to the 11 people who were lost before, at last count, there were only 393 people left, and 7 more people were missing."
"..."
"Seven less?"
Hearing that so many people were missing again, Zhan Jingyi raised his head and looked over in surprise.
This is strange. They are all staying in this place, staring at each other, and are tied up with ropes. How can someone disappear?
Zhong Qiang nodded vigorously: "Yes, there are seven more people missing, and we... don't even know when we were missing!"
At this time, the vibrato could be clearly heard in his voice.
This is an iron-blooded warrior. If he goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy, there will be no problem, but if he deals with such weird things, it will be a bit difficult for him.
…
"How come all these living people suddenly disappeared..."
"There must be a ghost on the ship, right? These missing people must have been dragged away by ghosts..."
"It's over... This is a ghost ship. All of us will be eaten by ghosts. It's over..."
Because he continued to be embarrassed and could not explain the reason, many panicked voices suddenly sounded.
This kind of fear can spread, but in this restaurant, it doesn't even need to spread, it directly drowns everyone.
At this time, everyone in the restaurant, no matter men, women or old people, could see their hands and feet trembling, their faces were white and blue, they looked like a group of ghosts who died of illness.
"There must be no ghosts in this world..."
Zhan Jingyi subconsciously wanted to correct their incorrect and unscientific ideas, but he didn't say it out loud.
Because at this moment, he could see the panic in these people's hearts at this moment, and knew that they were just looking for an excuse for the incredible scene in front of them.
Even if the excuse they come up with is the more frightening and unsettling "being dragged away by a ghost", and the ghost theory itself is unreasonable, for them, any kind of guess is better than not knowing what is going on at all. powerful.
Because, sometimes, the unknown will trump all fears!
Therefore, as long as you can understand the principle, fear will not be so scary!
"Old Zhong, are you sure that no one left the restaurant just now?"
Now, even if everyone can mess up, he can't, so Zhan Jingyi can only try his best to calmly look at Zhong Qiang and the mutants and researchers present.
"Sure!"
Zhong Qiang took a long puff of cigarette to make himself calmer, but his voice was a little trembling: "We just stayed in the room honestly and didn't dare to go anywhere. Even if we peed, we had to let them sit in the corner. It’s solved, but…”
There was still an expression of fear on his face: "But for some reason, there are... less people."
At this time, Han Xiao also said: "War King, what Colonel Zhong Qiang said is fine. Professor Li Zhong and I also arranged for mutants to keep an eye on each passage. It is true that no one has been in and out of here, and only Zhulong ran away. I went out to look for you."
Zhan Jingyi's eyes flashed across the faces of Professor Li Zhong, Aunt Wu and others, and received affirmative looks.
He glanced at the wet picture on the wall again and nodded, but said nothing.
At this time, his thoughts were a little confused, and he felt that he had encountered a difficult problem.
