Baba Yaga, Baba Yaga.
Or Granny Yaga.
If there was anyone who could speak for the word 'witch', it would be her. Since the birth of the witch, there were many horrible legends that had been spread among the Slavs.
The witch who lived in a chicken's foot house, the refiner of the black magic potion … the eternal nightmare in the Eternal Frost Wilderness and the forest.
Koshchey, Koshchey.
The immortal, the wizard, the shapeshifter … and even the representative of evil that could be written into the source of Slavic mythology. He also inherited the blood of God and had become famous hundreds of years ago. He could be said to be the role model of the 'Devil King.' Until now, there was still a place called Koshcheykovo in the Russian Federation.
What was more terrible than his notoriety was his strong vitality.
It was said that he hid his soul in a needle, and then hid the needle in a duck egg, and then hid the duck egg in a hare's stomach, and so on. Finally, he sealed everything on an oak tree in the endless sea … This way, people who couldn't find his soul couldn't really kill him.
Perhaps the rumors were exaggerated. After all, he had become famous 700 years ago!
700 years!
More than 20 generations had passed. Countless dynasties had risen and fallen, and the world had changed.
Now, countless people at the same time had already declined, but he was still alive and well. He could even eat oatmeal, take a boat, and go out for a walk when he had nothing to do.
As for the Pharaoh and the Sphinx, there was no need to say more. If it was true, then one was a descendant of the True God who inherited the blood of nobility, and the other was a fierce monster …
It was just unknown which Pharaoh it was, whether his title had been taken away, and how much of his power was left … and how many generations of the Sphinx were there?
But no matter how weak the Pharaoh was, Huai Shi couldn't afford to provoke him.
It was one thing for a quagmire to suddenly turn into a poisonous pond, but now, four crocodiles had appeared. Huai Shi, a newbie, was at a loss for what to do. The others were also in a state of shock, dumbfounded.
Only after the big shots had left did everyone heave a sigh of relief.
How could there be so many big shots on such a small ship … Everyone suddenly felt a great deal of pressure.
Huai Shi, on the other hand, was under even more pressure. He knew that there was a hidden Boss, Paracelsus, who could wield the Philosopher's Stone with his bare hands. He still had to think of a way to kill him.
Oh my god, is this game really meant for humans?
If he was lucky, Parathussel might not have a Philosopher's Stone on him, but if he was unlucky … Everyone would become a Philosopher's Stone in his plan.
Even an idiot would know that if such an advanced gadget could be manufactured, the materials needed to make it must be very expensive. The Philosopher's Stone itself was the embodiment of miracles in the mortal world. What could be more suitable than the Sacred Mark formed by countless miracles?
"It seems that the order on the ship can be maintained for the time being."
Old Xiao wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at Lei Feizhou and Huai Shi. "Our top priority is to explore the entire ship."
Lei Feizhou asked, "Where's Yin Yan?"
"Hasn't Yin Yan already gotten on Papaya's good side? Let him go and gain some affection … "Old Xiao suggested." If possible, everyone should try to hang out with Koosche and the Pharaoh to see if we can find any clues. "
Forget it …
Huai Shi's face turned green.
Koosche might look silly in his wheelchair, but it was hard to say whether he had Alzheimer's. As for the one holding the cat … he didn't look like someone easy to talk to.
The way he looked at people as if they didn't exist meant that he didn't put these people in his eyes at all. If they rashly tried to strike up a conversation with him, it would be fine if they got snubbed, but if they made him unhappy and released the cat, who would be able to stand it!
Whoever wanted to go could go, but he wasn't going!
Huai Shi completely forgot that he had the highest Charm value and Charm skill in the whole team. Today, he was just slacking off …
Seeing that Huai Shi wasn't willing to charm him or die, Lei Feizhou seemed to snort coldly and wasn't too happy.
"But you can actually try to seduce that old woman."
Ai Qing suggested sincerely. "I think it'll be a piece of cake!"
You can forget about it!
Huai Shi recalled the layers of wrinkles on Papaya's face and couldn't help but shudder.
In the end, everyone's discussion was inconclusive. They could only temporarily decide to split up and explore, and then meet up with Old Xiao in his room at dinnertime to see if they could find any clues.
In the current chaos, there was really no place to start.
But when Huai Shi walked in the corridor, he noticed that … the remains of the crew on the ground seemed to have been touched.
Other than the uniform that was still there, the ashes had all disappeared.
They had been taken away.
"Doesn't this prove that Paracus Seale has taken action?"
Huai Shi suddenly had a headache.
He miscalculated.
Although a certain amount of Source Substance was consumed during the creation of Androids, the materials could actually be recycled and reused. In other words, after a batch of Androids died, the ashes could be collected and poured into a petri dish, boiled, and soaked, and a new batch could quickly grow out.
It was more convenient than leeks.
Moreover, now that the night had suddenly come and shrouded the entire sea area, it was hard to say when it would light up again. In other words, the Androids' endurance was greatly increased.
"I feel that the situation is not good."
Huai Shi sighed and suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He smelled blood.
It was in the direction of the entrance to the warehouse.
Vampires were innately sensitive to the smell of blood, even more sensitive than a dog's nose … especially this kind of precious blood with a foreign smell.
It was under the stairs.
So, that guy Yue Jun violated two of the three prohibitions on the ship last night at once? No, maybe he violated all three prohibitions.
"The three prohibitions only apply between last night and six o 'clock today, which is the moment when the sun sets and the night comes again." Ai Qing said, "There should be no danger down there now. If you don't feel at ease, I can help you sneak in."
Huai Shi stood in the shadows and instantly felt as if his body had become transparent.
It was as if he had become a ghost again.
It seemed that Ai Qing's sneak had taken effect.
After checking his equipment again, he carefully stepped into the darkness of the warehouse.
Unexpectedly, there wasn't a hideous demon's lair below.
There was not even the sound of water flowing that was usually heard at the bottom of the cruise ship. In the silence, only the low roar of the engine room could be heard. At the entrance, Huai Shi also saw a few lines of dirty footprints, as if someone had already gone in, and there were also traces of someone coming out. There was no blood, and probably not many parts were missing.
Huai Shi felt a lot more at ease.
When he passed by the engine room, the boiler room, and the electronic control room, Huai Shi was still worried and went in to take a look, but it seemed that the disappearance of the crew did not affect or hinder the operation of the cruise ship.
Everything was normal.
It was as if it was being maintained by pairs of invisible hands.
Walking in it felt as if he was walking through countless invisible souls, and he felt a chill.
After Huai Shi closed the door, he breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of the principle, as long as the ship could move, it was fine … He was simply immune to this kind of haunted and supernatural phenomenon. What a joke, he grew up in the stone marrow hall and had seen all kinds of things. This was nothing to him …
It didn't take long for him to follow the smell of blood and find a corpse.
Or rather, Yue Jun's corpse.
There was nothing to hide or cover at all. It was lying on the ground at the end of the corridor like a beach sunbathing. Dark blood flowed all over the ground, and the stench was overwhelming.
He had only died for one night, but it seemed like he had been abandoned for many days. The rotten bones were almost exposed.
The swollen corpse was full of maggots.
There was no doubt that he had been killed.
The Headless Horseman that represented death had fallen into death, and the Headless Horseman had also lost his head when he died.
The white bones of the headless corpse were exposed in the stench, and there were still traces of it being rummaged through. Huai Shi pinched his nose and leaned over. He squatted down, endured the nausea and dizziness from the bottom of his heart, and took a careful look.
Then, of course, he couldn't see anything.
He wasn't a forensic doctor himself, and he hadn't learned any autopsy skills. It was even more impossible for Van Helsing to know how to collect evidence from corpses. If he could see it, then Yue Jun was really dead.
It was almost rotten.
"Can you see anything?" Huai Shi asked.
"Wait a moment. Take a look at the situation around you." Ai Qing commanded. Then, there was a faint sound of dice rolling. The dim warehouse seemed to instantly light up, and all the scenes were vivid in their eyes.
Including the mosquitoes that flew up.
"He was killed by someone."
After a short moment of thought, Ai Qing simply made a meaningless judgment. Then, she added, "He was killed twice by different people."
"Huh?"
"You'll know when you look behind you."
Ai Qing guided Huai Shi to look at the place in the middle of the corridor where the blood had just appeared, all the way to where Yue Jun's corpse was now.
"The Headless Horseman's stigmata doesn't mean that the Sublimator has no head. It's just that after modification and correction, the life system of the Sublimator has been modified in advance, transferring the function of thinking to the soul and preserving it in the body. This reduces the importance of the brain and head, and even if they are lost, they won't die. "
"In other words, even if their head is cut off, they can still live for a long time. At worst, they can just put another one on." Ai Qing said, "When he walked to the middle of the corridor, he was attacked. Someone hid in the corner and cut off his head. It was clean and neat … Then Yue Jun was scared and wanted to run forward, but he didn't expect that there was another person in front of him. This time, he was killed cleanly and completely."
Two people, twice.
There wasn't even a trace of struggle.
Huai Shi felt a little headache, but immediately, Ai Qing once again provided an even worse conjecture. "Or, after he was attacked, he ran forward because there was someone he knew in front of him."
Then, he died in the hands of his allies.
Huai Shi sucked in a breath of cold air.
— — There's a mole, terminate the transaction!
At this moment, Huai Shi heard the sound of dice rolling continuously.
