Old Xiao was dead.
It was impossible to tell how long he had been dead. It seemed that once you died on this ship, you would immediately start to rot. The stench was frightening.
The moment the door opened, what entered their eyes was countless spurts of blood. On the bed, the floor, the walls, and the ceiling, the slurry that had already lost its fresh color was everywhere.
It was dim and yellow, dripping sticky, until it finally dried up into ugly traces.
And Old Xiao was in the middle of this scene, sitting on the chair he had prepared for his teammates. It was torn apart, as if it had been cut into seventeen or eighteen pieces by a sharp knife. Even his head had been smashed and drooped down from his neck, like a basketball hanging in a net.
Huai Shi resisted the urge to vomit, summoned his courage, and walked through the door.
He didn't see any damage caused by a struggle, nor were there any traces of struggle.
He had died quietly.
It was so silent that it was abnormal.
Huai Shi stared blankly at all this, his brain suddenly unable to wrap itself around it.
"What the hell?" He couldn't help but rub his face. "Why are people dying in this game like ordering takeout? Is there a delivery?"
He sat on the floor tiredly and watched all this. It took him a long time before he finally reacted.
Old Xiao was indeed dead.
Although the death of a teammate seemed to be a common thing in this game, and there was no need to be surprised or scared, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of depression.
The only teammate who seemed a little more reliable had inexplicably died just like that.
Did it have to be like this?
It was foreseeable that this team of players, which had been riddled with holes, was about to break up. What was even more painful than the loss of morale was that there was no one to lead the team.
In less than two days since the start of the game, their teammates were dying at a rate of one dying per day.
First, it was Yue Jun, then Old Xiao. Who would be next?
Even worse, including Clement, who had become an NPC, half of the six people had died, but they hadn't found anything yet.
Not to mention clues, the entire ship was like a boiling cauldron. It was difficult to even protect themselves, let alone reach the New World and complete their mission.
The newbie didn't even have the strength to tremble.
Just as he was looking around, a sudden burst of information entered his mind. It seemed that the Ai Qing had made an investigation.
Through the messy scene, he miraculously found a lot of traces from the dismembered corpse.
"First, I sneaked in. Then, I slashed at his throat, legs, arms, heart …"
He could almost imagine a black figure suddenly appearing in front of Old Xiao, slashing his throat and stopping him from roaring. Then, the figure accurately cut the tendons in his legs, cutting off any possibility of him escaping.
Old Xiao reached out to grab him, but his arms, which were as thick as trees, were chopped off one after another. His arms flew up and fell to the ground, blood spurting out … No, this time, the weapon had been changed. It was something heavier and sharper.
The murderer stepped forward and stepped on Old Xiao. The weapon in his hand slashed down with irresistible force, cutting open Old Xiao's chest and tearing out his heart. Finally, he abruptly turned the weapon around and smashed the heavy steel onto Old Xiao's skull.
Pa!
The sound of bubbles popping could be heard.
It was as if the murderer had killed a chicken. It was over.
But just as Huai Shi was guessing, when the black figure turned around, he saw a face that he couldn't believe.
— It was himself.
Yes, that's right. First, he used a dagger to take the initiative, then used a large axe to break through the diffusion defense. Finally, he used the blunt back of the axe to smash the corpse … The whole process was smooth and fluid.
The small hammer scratched the seams, and the large hammer finished the job …
No matter how he looked at it, it was familiar.
He saw Old Xiao's face. At the last moment, the broken face was distorted, and it looked like a smile.
He stared at Huai Shi mockingly, which made him feel uncomfortable. He only felt a chill in his heart.
"Don't talk about space-time travel or something like that." Ai Qing said, "It's not the first time KP deliberately mystifies things. Maybe the murderer wants you to think that way. There are only a few ways to kill people, and it's very common to see similarities. "
She didn't say the last sentence.
— Instead of worrying about this, it was better to worry that he would lose control and kill Old Xiao while he was unconscious due to thirst for blood.
But what was the point of that?
Even if Huai Shi wanted to find the blood bag, he would only look for the woman closest to him called Hila, right?
Regardless of motive, time, or reason, Huai Shi couldn't have committed the crime.
Then who could have done it?
Enemy? Teammate?
Lei Feizhou?
Or Yin Yan?
Just as she was deep in thought, Huai Shi turned around and saw a burly man standing at the door without her noticing. Lei Feizhou looked at him expressionlessly, looking at his panicked expression and frowning.
Huai Shi was stunned at first, then he raised his hands. "I didn't, I'm not!"
"I didn't say you were. He was dead when I came an hour ago," Lei Feizhou said expressionlessly. "I was the one who broke the door open. At that time, he was still warm."
"Uh …" Huai Shi was speechless.
"I looked all over the ship, but I couldn't find you. Yin Yan was still licking Papaya's leg. He didn't even have a chance to talk."
At this point, he seemed to be disheartened. He raised the black plastic bag in his hand and said, "Let's clean up Old Xiao first. If there's anything, we can talk about it at the restaurant tonight."
Looking at the bag in Lei Feizhou's hand, Huai Shi felt guilty.
Yue Jun's body was still in the warehouse, and no one cared about it.
The two of them cleaned up in silence. Estimating that it was time for dinner, they got up and went to the restaurant.
.
Compared to the low atmosphere last night, today's restaurant was really gloomy.
Most of the people were sitting in their seats, drinking mouthfuls of that strange soup that they didn't know how it was made. To be honest, just smelling it made them want to throw up.
However, the ship's chef also disappeared with the crew. Now, the chef was a little green goblin who was said to have come from a remote place.
It was the kind of little thing that would cook for people and play pranks in some fairy tales. Although it wasn't liked, it could be said that it was naturally warm-hearted … However, it didn't seem to be very good at cooking.
Moreover, no one had the appetite to eat.
Old Xiao wasn't the only one who died today. Four people died as well. One died in a fight, two died mysteriously, and one had already broken down and wanted to jump into the sea and swim back to Rome.
His stigmata was probably some kind of aquatic species.
Then everyone saw that the person who fell into the sea dissolved little by little as if he had fallen into the stomach of a behemoth.
Amid the screams.
Huai Shi even saw the Rain Man curled up in a corner. A small dark cloud floated above his head. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. It looked really miserable.
Someone was smoking next to him, and another person kept asking his companion nervously, "Did you see where my magical insoles are?"
Magical insoles my ass …
However, when he passed by the middle, he saw Hel again.
Unexpectedly, someone was sitting next to her. It was the woman who had tried to pacify them last night. What was her name again? He didn't remember.
Although his face was full of dust, he had been trying very hard to show off and show off. Unfortunately, she was always treated as a background and didn't have much of a presence.
Now, she was saying something intimately to Hel with a gentle smile, trying to get closer.
However, Hel's expression was still indifferent, as if she didn't hear what she was saying at all. She just frowned and looked at the soup in front of her.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was really not good.
The two of them didn't have much of an appetite. In addition, the soup tasted so weird that they couldn't eat it. They could only stare at the bowl in a daze.
After a long time, Yin Yan finally arrived.
He was in high spirits.
Following behind Papaya, he carried a bag and waited for the old lady to sit down. Then, he swaggered over and sat down. He looked at the two of them and asked, "What's the matter?"
Huai Shi took a deep breath. He didn't want to argue with this pretentious guy. He just said, "Old Xiao is dead."
"I heard." Yin Yan crossed his arms. "If he's dead, then he's dead."
Lei Feizhou frowned unhappily. "What do you mean?"
"Literally!" Yin Yan said coldly. "Isn't the hint from KP obvious enough? It's for us to suck up to someone powerful. It's obviously impossible to get to America on our own.
If I were you, I'd waste my time. I'd hurry up and get on the good side of that retarded old man and the kitten-hugging kid. Let me warn you, don't fight with me. "
Brother, you're quite broad-minded.
You're proud of being a cowherd.
Huai Shi sneered and asked directly, "Five Big Things: Ball, Fire, Nail, Pliers, Hammer … How many can you take out? You don't have any skills and you dare to be a cowherd? "
Yin Yan was stunned.
He didn't know if it was because he was shocked by the five big things or because he felt Huai Shi's Master level pressure. He was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak. Soon, he stubbornly said, "This has nothing to do with you. I advise you not to wander around outside. Be careful or you'll die early."
"Don't be an alarmist." Lei Feizhou said coldly.
"You still don't understand?"
Yin Yan was amused. He glanced at Huai Shi and Lei Feizhou's expressions and his expression became ferocious. "First Yue Jun, then Old Xiao … They died so quickly. I don't believe that there's no one behind this."
He said, "There's a traitor among us!"
Dead silence.
The few of them looked at each other in silence.
It was like before the child spoke, the king's naked streak was a secret in everyone's hearts. Once the child spoke, everyone had to think of a way to deal with the consequences of the king's naked streak.
"See, even you have nothing to say?" Yin Yan sneered. "I'm not interested in who did it, but if you want to have any ideas about me, forget it! If you want to fight among yourselves, you two can go play by yourselves. "
Huai Shi frowned and didn't speak.
Although he didn't have any expectations for his teammates from the beginning, it was very infuriating to break up like this. But what could he do? Once the seed of doubt was planted, it wouldn't be easy to pull it out.
Moreover, from the beginning, this team could be said to be riddled with holes.
Soon, he heard the sharp sound of a plate breaking on the table next to him.
There was also a hoarse scream.
"There's … poison in the soup …"
