As Zhan Jingyi muttered to himself, the air flowing in the room suddenly became extremely depressing, with the aura of an impending storm filling the building.
When Zhan Jingyi said those words, his attitude was still calm and sincere, and his tone was the same as he usually spoke.
However, it may be because when he said these words, the expression on his face was too cold, or even without much expression, so it gave people an inexplicable sense of gloom.
Following his words, Captain Zhao, Zhu Long and others around him all shivered inexplicably, feeling that the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped a few degrees.
For a moment, everyone noticed that the atmosphere at the scene seemed to have frozen.
After finishing speaking, seeing that no one came out to surrender, Zhan Jingyi nodded and did not look at the remaining people in the room. He even closed his eyes and leaned against the door frame.
Soon, his breathing became calmer and calmer, as if he was sleeping, and he seemed to have fallen asleep...
But in this room, everyone felt an eerie feeling as if they were being watched by something.
That was Zhan Jingyi's mental will. Although he seemed to be sleeping with his eyes closed, in fact, the mental power in his mind was already boiling, and the mental power had spread throughout the restaurant like a spider web.
Moreover, his mental will is constantly screening everything in the room, and his mental power passes over the walls, ceiling, pillars supporting the roof, under the dining table, and everyone in the room.
Zhan Jingyi's mental power looked here and there, looking for invisible monsters with a sinister and terrifying aura.
He was even touching the bracelet on his wrist, wondering whether to radiate the terrifying power in the purple crystal, but this power seemed to be indistinguishable from friend to foe, and he was worried about hurting his own people.
Time passed little by little, and for a long, long time, no one spoke.
No one dared to move, because everyone could feel that there seemed to be some terrifying power hidden in the air around them.
Likewise, a long time passed and no one disappeared again.
In an atmosphere that was originally extremely tense, a feeling of unchangingness suddenly appeared, which was uncomfortable.
In this tense atmosphere, a strong smell of blood suddenly drifted over from outside the room.
This is the smell of blood, extremely pungent. It is not the scent of fresh blood, but a smell that has been left for a long time and has begun to decay.
And this smell became stronger and stronger, drifting in from the outside, and soon filled the entire restaurant, as if something was approaching.
As the smell got closer and closer, everyone in the room looked at the door, and the guns in their hands were pointed at the door.
…
"Ahem..."
Suddenly, a series of coughs rang out in the dead air. The coughs were extremely abrupt and made people's hair stand on end.
Then, suddenly the door of the restaurant was violently opened from the outside, and as the door was opened, a gust of wind whistled in.
For a moment, everyone in the restaurant, including Zhan Jingyi, Captain Zhao and others, subconsciously turned their heads and saw that there was an extra person on the deck outside.
This middle-aged fat man in a chef's uniform has a round face, a fat head, a big head and a thick neck. His face is a bit pale, and his lips are bright. Seeing him unexpectedly makes people have a creepy feeling as if the hairs all over his body are exploding.
But when they looked closely, everyone couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief at the same time, and subconsciously wanted to curse.
It was the chef of this cruise ship who was one of the people who disappeared before. At this moment, he was slowly walking towards the door. As he walked, there were a series of water drops dripping behind him, and there was darkness behind him. On the deck, the sound of distant waves lapping against the hull could be heard faintly.
It seemed that the head chef was very fat, but when he walked, his steps were very light, as if there was no sound. Looking at the direction he was walking, it seemed as if he had just walked from the end of the deck.
"What are you all doing here?"
The head chef walked over slowly, stood at the door and looked into the restaurant with his head tilted: "I heard you shouting here from afar..."
Seeing this head chef, everyone was a little scared. They didn't know why a missing person suddenly appeared at this time?
And seeing his clothes and the water stains left along the way, it felt like he had just emerged from the water.
Coupled with the paleness of his face, he felt like a water ghost who had just returned to the shore from the water.
At this time, everyone in the restaurant wanted to curse. What are these things? Why are you here to scare people at this time?
If Zhan Jingyi hadn't been guarding the door now, someone in the room might have fired.
Moreover, for most soldiers, they are used to the high-pressure management in the army and know when to speak and when to be more obedient.
When the head chef approached, Zhan Jingyi suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look up and down at the fat man.
There was no expression on Zhan Jingyi's face, he just watched quietly, watching the fat chef slowly move towards him.
At this moment, the chef's expression and demeanor seemed to be very normal, but Zhan Jingyi and others could faintly feel a stiffness in his body.
But this was just a feeling and there was no evidence, so Zhan Jingyi was not in a hurry and just looked at him carefully up and down, wondering where the weird feeling on him came from.
…
From Zhan Jingyi's mental vision, it can be seen that there is no mental monster in the chef, so he should not be mentally contaminated.
But judging from his somewhat stiff body and the water droplets on his clothes, it was impossible for him to be normal.
So, is there a mutant controlling or influencing him?
For Zhan Jingyi, this is very different. He can see the mental monster directly, but depending on the situation, when the mental monster is hidden in the body of the contaminated person, he cannot see it.
In addition, there seem to be some mutant abilities, such as the control system, which are extremely secretive. Not to mention that you can't tell, even with some extremely sophisticated instruments, you can't find any abnormalities.
At this time, you often need to rely on intuition and... careful questioning.
Thinking of this, Zhan Jingyi was silent for a while, then decided to go straight in and said softly: "Are you and this monster in the room together?"
The head chef listened, blinked his eyes, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Who are they?"
"Sir, don't get me wrong, I'm Lao Zhang, the head chef here..."
Zhan Jingyi listened to the chef's words, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
The next moment, he seemed to ask curiously: "Since you are the head chef, where were you just now? Did you go swimming in the water?"
After hearing his words, the chef's face changed color slightly and became a little weird: "I... said I fell asleep in the storage room, do you believe it?"
"what you think?"
Zhan Jingyi slammed the Tang knife in his hand on the ground and said calmly: "If you were really that fat chef, how could you still be so calm after seeing this situation? I'm sorry, even if you don't admit it, in fact, you have already Exposed..."
"If you were a real chef, you would be so scared that you would wet your pants by now..."
When he finished speaking, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to suddenly become more solemn.
It's still a bit cool at night on the sea, especially now, when a cold wind suddenly blows.
The sea breeze flowed into the restaurant, causing the chandelier hanging on the roof to rattle.
Everyone's shadows were changing in size, size, movement and elongation due to the shaking of the chandelier.
The same goes for Zhan Jingyi's shadow.
He sat by the door and touched the purple crystal on the bracelet. In an instant, a shadow spread out from the crystal as the light swayed, and then suddenly stretched out, blending into the darkness outside the room.
This seems to be a natural thing.
What was unnatural was that when the light swayed back, the shadow did not follow it.
"Tsk..."
If you look carefully, you will find that in the darkness outside the restaurant, there is a shadow that is obviously darker than other places.
It seemed to be swimming in the darkness, elongated instantly, and rushed straight towards the chef.
