Is it time to leave this empty ghost ship?
Even though there are endless secrets here, it is no longer what Bai Ning is interested in. As long as Liu Cheng doesn't have any problems, even if the others are really kidnapped by the sea monster, it has nothing to do with Bai Ning.
He silently returned to the captain's cabin, took out his satellite phone, and was just about to dial Uncle Qian's number when Liu Cheng, who was following him, suddenly made a sound of surprise, and he looked a little panicked.
"Boss, look, what is that?"
Following the sound, Bai Ning found that the sea image hanging on the cabin suddenly came to life. In the turbulent sea current, a strong suction force suddenly came and wanted to suck him into it.
Hallucination?
I have experienced the top-level illusion labyrinth in the Tunguska region. What is more terrifying than an illusion built on the level of consciousness?
Is it hypnosis, or some kind of psychological suggestion based on the five senses?
Just as he was doubting himself, the 3D surrounding singing sounded again. The inexplicable singing from small to loud continued to erode Bai Ning's remaining sanity.
From the corner of his eye, Liu Cheng seemed to have been completely lost in the hallucination, and was walking step by step towards the sea map.
Faced with this critical moment, Bai Ning kicked Liu Cheng fiercely, then picked up the captain's special wine and smashed it against the sea chart that seemed to be able to swallow everything.
Liu Cheng fell to the ground unconscious, and the wine bottle suddenly exploded on the chart. The splashing wine suddenly vaporized and turned into a ball of flames that swallowed up the entire nearby space.
In this real heat wave, Bai Ning subconsciously wanted to hide, but found that there was no place to hide.
The blue flames were like a fire dragon that was about to burn everything. Knowing that it was all just an illusion, Bai Ning still lifted up his coat to protect his face.
The sea of flames raged around Bai Ning, and Bai Ning felt as if he was going to be turned into ashes here.
After suffering for three or four seconds, the surrounding space suddenly cooled down, as if the sea breeze caressed me gently on a summer night, taking away the remaining heat.
I looked around through the gaps in my clothes and saw that except for a broken wine bottle, nothing else was damaged in the captain's cabin.
Is it just an illusion of just ten seconds?
However, how can a collective hallucination that only lasts for ten seconds make a ship full of people disappear?
He approached the alcohol-stained chart on the wall and tapped it with his fingers. There seemed to be a cavity behind it.
After removing the chart, the metal door of a safe appeared in front of Bai Ning. He thought it was a darkroom, but he didn't expect it to be just a safe.
Bai Ning did not think that the abnormality shown in the previous chart was just a coincidence. There must be some original trigger in this safe.
In order to prevent accidents, Bai Ning woke up Liu Cheng first, and then quickly took him to the engine room to get the equipment.
Not long after, the safe was successfully opened amidst the sharp friction of the angle grinder.
The contents of the safe were very simple, only some documents and cash. The expected strange items did not appear.
Not in the safe?
Liu Cheng looked at it for a long time, pretending to flip through the documents a few times, and was about to put tens of thousands of dollars in his pocket.
Seeing this, Bai Ning reached out and quickly slapped off his claws. His greed for money failed, and Liu Cheng could only laugh twice to cover up his embarrassment.
I picked up a bunch of money and took a look at it. Apart from its brand-new features, I couldn't see anything special about it.
Isn't this a little trick based on greed?
Still unwilling to give up, he broke up a few bundles of money and spread them out on the wooden table. There was a big puddle of money, which made Liu Cheng, who was itching and unbearable, murmured a few words in a low voice.
"Even if you have been hovering on the edge of the poverty line for so many years, judging from your overall attitude of being able to endure poverty, you don't seem to be the kind of person who is greedy for money.
However, now you are greedy for these tens of thousands of quick money, don't you think there is something wrong? "
Seeing that the abnormalities on Liu Cheng's body were getting more and more serious, Bai Ning could only give a warning.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Cheng was also stunned. The previous feeling of being hallucinated emerged one by one, and he felt a chill down his spine instantly.
"Let me tell you, how can a person like me, who can choke on his dreams, be short of this little money? It turns out there is something wrong with this money.
However, I don’t think this money is fake? "
Although Liu Cheng was afraid, greedy money was not a glorious thing after all, and it was still a bit embarrassing.
"Greed is one of the basic desires of human beings and one of the original driving forces that supports people's survival.
It's just that people can restrain their greed through reason so that this desire does not show up.
It can be seen that someone must have planted something in this money, a special potion that can infinitely amplify the desires and fears in people's hearts. "
After Bai Ning finished speaking, he took out a bottle of fine wine collected by the captain and poured it on these banknotes. Soon, some of the banknotes showed a strange blue luster, as if there were flames beating constantly. generally.
“Fuck, there’s really a problem!
Are these the things that cause us to have severe hallucinations?
I still feel a little pain in my waist. Can this thing still cause phantom pain? "
Seeing that Bai Ning found out the reason why they fell into hallucination, Liu Cheng also seemed a little excited and kept talking non-stop, as if he had discovered some new world.
Hallucinations are caused by special potions, and the duration of this potion does not last too long. Even if you are exposed to it again, the hallucinations will not reappear, and will only partially affect people's basic desires.
Judging from the recurrence of hallucinations in the captain's cabin, the time interval for the potion to take effect again will be very long.
In other words, during the process of inspecting the cabin, Bai Ning and Liu Cheng were always in the buffer period of the drug's effects, and during this process, some basic desires in their hearts were infinitely strengthened.
Perhaps, even if they saw the hidden secret cabin, they would ignore it under the psychological implication that the overall futility was previously achieved.
"Walk.
Let's go take a look inside the cabin again. "
Covering their mouths and noses with a piece of cloth wetted with alcohol, Bai Ning and Liu Cheng quickly arrived at the lower level of the ship, and saw that the situation inside was indeed very different.
The bright lights that I remembered no longer exist, and some rooms have always been in darkness.
Obviously, under the hint of light, even if some cabins do not turn on the lights, they will be deliberately ignored.
Turning on the lights in these dark rooms one by one, it turned out that some rooms leading to other directions were discovered. The "dark rooms" that were deliberately hidden were discovered, and all the people hidden in them were also discovered.
After a rough count, the number of people was about the same.
"How is it possible, not one is bad?"
Liu Cheng was also very surprised by this result. He counted it again and it was still exactly the same.
In response, Bai Ning just curled his lips and chuckled.
There are two possibilities, either that the person who secretly drugged the drug is not among the known people, or that the person who drugged the drug is still among the crowd.
In this regard, Bai Ning is more inclined to the second option.
In other words, now the person who secretly drugged Bai Ning still wants to pretend to be a victim and continue to act with Bai Ning.
It's a very clever move, but it also has many flaws.
First of all, the person who administered the drug presupposed that Bai Ning could crack the secret hallucination medicine and hid himself among the comatose people in advance.
This move of seeking defeat before winning is a bit too cautious.
Assuming that his method successfully activated the Yulong bloodline in Liu Cheng's body, he would probably lose the first-hand opportunity because of such an overly cautious move.
Excluding this possibility, the remaining evidence can only prove that the person was an acquaintance on the ship.
This person secretly observed Bai Ning in the dark, and after realizing that his strategy failed, he returned to the pile of victims.
Now, only the captain and his relatives were familiar locals on the entire ship, and the targets of suspicion seemed to be very narrow.
However, Bai Ning felt that it was a bit impossible to come to this conclusion so easily.
According to previous experience, the temporary crew members who came up in the second round were secretly members of the mysterious organization. After a day of familiarity, plus secret drugging, they would be very familiar with the internal structure of the ship.
From this point of view, dangerous people still exist among the temporary crew, and everything is back to square one.
Now, either to alert the enemy and arrest all the temporary crew members for torture, or to swallow their anger and continue to compete with them in a battle of wits and courage.
Looking at the various people who were unconscious on the ground, Bai Ning's eyes were hesitant and he didn't know how to make a decision.
At this moment, Bai Ning suddenly remembered that there was a member of the Night Demon Society among their group.
Now, this member of the Night Demon Society is also among these unconscious people.
Being knocked unconscious with drugs, such a low-level mistake, seems to never happen to such a powerful being as the Night Demon Society.
The fact that someone who cannot possibly make a mistake also makes a mistake shows that he doesn't care at all.
A very subtle mood swing, a completely detached state of mind while watching the show.
In other words, for the members of the Night Demon Society, their hypnotic ability is far superior to this group of mysterious people who can only use secret medicine.
No matter whose hands it falls on, the member of the Night Stalker Society will not be identified at all.
Thinking about this, an idea suddenly flashed in Bai Ning's mind, and a more terrifying possibility suddenly appeared.
Since the drugged mysterious personnel dared to mix back into the comatose people, this shows that they want to continue to compete with Bai Ning in a battle of wits and courage. It also shows that they are not afraid of Bai Ning's torture of the temporary crew members.
In other words, in this person's presupposition, whether the temporary crew members will be disposed of has nothing to do with his current identity.
Therefore, after going around in a circle, the final suspects were only the captain and his relative.
A very clever game within a game, a subtle layout hidden in logical misunderstandings.
From the moment the crew was changed, this mysterious man had been hiding his identity, making the captain and the young man completely impossible to suspect.
Based on this person's sophisticated thinking, Bai Ning is willing to believe that he will definitely use the same strategy to get close to Liu Cheng, a fool who only knows how to eat and wait for death.
For a person who is unable to discover the truth, the same routine will have the same effect if used once or a hundred times.
Have you been fooled by someone for so long that you don't even remember the other person's basic physical appearance?
Glancing at Liu Cheng, who was beside him with his head bowed in thought, Bai Ning suddenly felt that the descendants of the Yulong clan had some genetic defects.
