Chapter 122: Night 4: Commandment of Fire

11:[-].

Bai Jianxiao and Lu Zhiqiong walked around the cruise ship, and nothing happened.The viciousness of the ghosts at night doubled, and all of them appeared in reality. Some tried to attack them, but after being beaten up by Lu Zhiqiong, they ran away without a trace.

The two walked the stairs back to the eighth floor. Before going upstairs, Bai Jianxiao heard the ghosts chattering endlessly, and smelled a burning smell in his nose.

"Where is the fire?" Bai Jianxiao's heart skipped a beat and he quickened his pace.

Going up to the eighth floor, I took a closer look, my good fellow, the fire was not anywhere else, it was room 809 where they lived!

The fire has burned out of the door frame, as if a dragon opened its huge mouth, spewing out scorching heat and raging flames.When they left, they deliberately didn't close the door of Room 809. They didn't expect it to be burned by some crazy guy!

If they didn't come out tonight, wouldn't they be on fire... Thinking of this, Bai Jianxiao felt lucky.

"No, look carefully." Lu Zhiqiong said, "The fire looked big, but it didn't burn anything."

Indeed, upon closer inspection, the wooden door and walls were intact in the fire, and there was no sound from the burning. The people in the next room seemed to feel nothing and were still asleep.

The two carefully took a closer look, only to realize that the flames were just phantoms. They could feel the temperature when they put their hands in it, but they would not be burned.

A group of ghosts from the eighteenth century hid aside, looking around.

"This is the phantom of the flame, just like those ghosts, it is a surviving ghost from the old era." Bai Jianxiao pondered, "Something must have happened in this room 809 back then, so that these phantoms of the flame remain to this day."

"Go in and have a look?" Lu Zhiqiong asked, "There must be clues."

"Yes." Bai Jianxiao nodded.The two got ready, walked through the phantom together, and entered the room.I saw that the fire in the house was even more intense, and it burned into a sea of ​​flames. A group of human-shaped flames just rolled down from the big bed, but they were able to stand up and stumbled towards them!

Lu Zhiqiong stretched out his hand to grab him, but his hand passed directly through his body, with only a lingering warmth of flames lingering between his fingers.Looking at it from a very close distance, Bai Jianxiao found that it was a man who had been burnt into charcoal, without a single piece of complete skin. There were bursts of mournful cries from his mouth, and he was actually yelling the same sentence repeatedly. : "blaze! blaze!"

Sure enough, room 809 is related to bleze!

When the man on fire ran out, the phantom in the room disappeared, and it changed back to the luxurious suite they were familiar with.Lady Alanster covered her mouth and nose with a feather fan: "Poor Viscount Roberts, he has become a ghost, but he still suffers from this torture."

"If you ask me, he's already gone crazy," another ghost said. "After all, he was burned alive in his room."

"What an admirable gentleman Roberts is," Baron Albert lamented. "If he hadn't married such a woman, he would be running a wealthy manor on the east coast by now."

"Grandfather, it's been 200 years," said the baron's granddaughter Nicole. "Whether Viscount Roberts is burned or not, he will not be running an estate on the East Coast."

"Oh," Baron Albert heaved a long sigh, "I even forgot that we have spent 200 years on the ship..."

From their conversation, Bai Jianxiao learned that the scorched man was Viscount Roberts, who had been burned alive in room 809, and seemed to have some symptoms of madness.He was rolling on the ground, still screaming some unclear words: "Kill them! One is in the water, one is in the fire! Kill them!"

"What's wrong with him? Why does he look in pain?" Bai Jianxiao asked Nicole.

Nicole wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "It's so pitiful, his newly married wife was caught on board by a poor boy..."

"Nicole!" Baron Albert suddenly snarled, and hit Nicole on the back with a cane. Nicole was startled and covered her mouth, refusing to say anything.

Sure enough, there was a deeper secret hidden in it, and Bai Jianxiao was about to ask again, when he suddenly saw Viscount Roberts stand up, muttering "blaze" while running towards the stairs.

"Follow up and have a look!" Bai Jianxiao said, but saw the ghost jumping down from the window on the eighth floor, like a burning oil barrel, stumbling and rolling down onto the deck.

At this moment, it was already stormy outside, and the raindrops hit the cabin, making a lot of noise.Under the light of the ship's lights, black shadows crawled over the deck, and a giant octopus more than five meters long was lying on the ship's wall. There were rustling sounds everywhere, as if thousands of sea snakes were twisting, and the huge octopus The giant beast let out a low and long howl, making their ears numb.

As if Viscount Roberts had never heard of it, he continued to walk towards the seaside, like a walking lantern, illuminating the giant sticky tentacles, brightly colored fluorescent jellyfish, and dense coelenterates around him...

"This is the Goddess of Silence at night." Lu Zhiqiong said with emotion, "At least for the health of the players' stomachs, the suggestion not to go out is correct."

"It's too noisy, can you make them quiet?" Bai Jianxiao asked, covering her ears.

"Happy to help you." Lu Zhiqiong kicked away an octopus monster standing in front of them, and with him as the center, he burst out with a strong force, pushing all the monsters back into the sea with overwhelming force.The deck, which was originally a gathering of heroes, took on a new look in an instant, and Bai Jianxiao suddenly felt refreshed by deleting the empty recycle bin with one click.

Lu Zhiqiong raised his hand again and drew a circle above their heads, making an air umbrella to keep out the rain, and stretched out his hand like a gentleman, "It's raining just right, let's dance together, master?"

"Stop making a fuss, it's important to chase people." Bai Jianxiao patted him with a smile, but still put her hand in his.

The two chased Viscount Roberts to the stern, and the burning ghost lay on the railing, staring at the sea in a daze.Bai Jianxiao followed his gaze and saw a blur of fire in the supposedly dark sea. As the cruise ship moved, this light dragged behind the ship like the tail of a comet.

"Fire in the water..." Bai Jianxiao murmured, "There is something burning under the water..."

But that thing is too deep, and it is impossible to see what it is. Only in such a dark night can its existence be shown by the burning light.Bai Jianxiao couldn't help thinking: If the raw with blaze written on it was thrown into the sea, it should be able to create such an effect, but I don't know what is in the sea now, and it won't be exhausted no matter how much it is burned.

"Can you catch it and take a look?" Bai Jianxiao asked.

Lu Zhiqiong tried it, shook his head and said, "It's too deep, and I can't determine its location. If I jump into the water, I should be able to fish it out."

"No," Bai Jianxiao refused without thinking. "It's too dangerous at night. Anyway, this thing is following the cruise ship. It won't be too late for us to salvage it during the day."

"It may not wait for you until daytime," Lu Zhiqiong reminded him, "Maybe it will only appear at night, after all, it was already dark at nine o'clock in the evening, but no one has ever seen the glow in the water. Chance It's fleeting, I missed the present, tsk tsk, maybe I will never be able to solve the mystery of the cruise ship, I think I'd better go..."

Bai Jianxiao pinched his mouth, frowned and said: "No, if you say you are not allowed to go, you are not allowed to go."

Of course he could hear that Lu Zhiqiong's long series of words was complaining that he put solving puzzles more than honeymoon these days, and put his own safety at risk in order to satisfy his curiosity.Comparing his heart to his heart, thinking about the worries that surged in his heart when he heard that Lu Zhiqiong was going to take risks, he knew how Lu Zhiqiong usually worried about himself.

Thinking of this, Bai Jianxiao softened his tone again, "Okay, I know I'm impulsive, but you don't want to be good and not be bad. So, let's interrogate this ghost named Roberts first and see if we can Asking from his mouth what is the burning thing in the sea..."

When his name was mentioned, Roberts suddenly raised his head in a daze, shouted "blaze", turned over the railing, and jumped straight into the sea.

The "plop" sound of falling water was accompanied by the "hiss" sound of water vapor evaporating, and Viscount Roberts lost his trace in the sea.

"I just said that I want to interrogate, so there's no need to do this..." Bai Jianxiao was speechless, lying on the railing and wishing to jump down to make trouble in the sea, "One or two are so uncooperative!"

"Hey, calm down, what did you just say?" Lu Zhiqiong hugged his waist, and pulled back the man who was half out of the way.

"Let's go back first and ask the other ghosts." Bai Jianxiao couldn't do anything about it, her mood fell to the bottom, she turned and walked towards the hatch.

"Hello!" A tall figure appeared at the door at some point, and the voice came through the heavy rain, "Did you see my little bird on the deck?"

"Qianli?" Bai Jianxiao was startled, and shouted to him, "Your little bird is not here! It's dangerous at night, go back to your room!"

After yelling, he felt that it was very unconvincing for him standing on the deck to say such words.

"That's it," Qianli didn't care, scratching the newly grown stubble on his chin, "Night is very dangerous, predators will come out to move around, if I'm in the wild, I'll hang a hemp on a high branch The rope hammock will also have a fire around it, which is important in the dark, you understand?"

Bai Jianxiao and Lu Zhiqiong passed through the deck, gradually able to see his outline clearly, Qianli was standing at the entrance of the corridor, a little light seeping in from a distance cast deep shadows on his three-dimensional facial features.Whenever he has an expression that can be called profound and mysterious or confused and obsessive, it seems to be another kind of ghost who is always out of things.

Qianli stretched out his hands to them, and he folded his hands together to form a bowl, which contained a pile of ashes, "Look."

"What is this?" Lu Zhiqiong asked.

"Bugs." Qianli said, "This ship is covered with bugs everywhere. Although they are not obvious, if you collect them carefully, you can collect quite a few."

Bai Jianxiao took a look, and sure enough, his palm was not ashes at all, but a pile of dead bugs - the bugs were exactly the silverfish bugs they had investigated.

"I'm going to continue looking for my little bird," Qianli let go, and bugs fluttered down to the ground, "you have to be careful."

Without waiting for an answer, he walked away talking to himself.

"A very strange person." After walking thousands of miles away, Bai Jianxiao said in Lu Zhiqiong's spiritual world.

"If you ask me, he is by far the most difficult person on this ship." Lu Zhiqiong squatted down to check the bugs. "Fortunately, he doesn't seem to be a participant in the conspiracy."

"Looks like?"

"Who knows?" Lu Zhiqiong said with a smile, "Maybe the fact that he was caught by me is itself a part of the conspiracy."

"Then this planner is too clever, and treats us as pawns." Bai Jianxiao also squatted down to study the silverfish worms with him, and suddenly his fingers itched, and a dead worm came back to life .

"The bugs are moving!" Bai Jian shyly withdrew his hand.

Soon, the entire swarm became active, but they didn't run around randomly, but crawled on the ground in an orderly manner.Soon, Bai Jianxiao could see clearly that the swarm had formed an arrow shape on the ground!

This arrow is pointing to the dark corridor ahead, this group of bugs is really controlled by someone, and now this person is going to lead them to a place!

Bai Jianxiao and Lu Zhiqiong looked at each other, grabbed each other's hands, followed the direction pointed by the arrow of the bug, and walked into the dark corridor.

The world is always made up of coincidences and regrets. After about 5 minutes, the investigator walked from the cabin to the deck.Standing alone in the rain in the dark night, it seems that he has been waiting for a long time.

Though he was wearing a cloak—what a familiar cloak! ——The investigator still recognized his identity.

The investigator's eyes were about to burst, he pulled out his gun and rushed into the rain, shouting, "Lu Zhiqiong, you are the murderer!"
