"That's right!"
Ye Chen nodded lightly and said as he met everyone's gaze, "After the tragic battle in the second painting, the battleship was destroyed, and it was filled with corpses. Blood flowed everywhere. It must've experienced something else to turn it into a ghost ship."
"Look!"
Master Yizhen pointed at the black energy circling around the ship in the third painting and said, "Is this black energy the same as the one we encountered before?"
There were countless ferocious-looking evil spirits in the black energy he was pointing at.
"Yes, it's exactly the same!"
This time, even the Sanguine Marquis, Bruce, and the other Western powerhouses were stunned. Thunder Emperor Thor took a deep breath and said, "Therefore, the situation is very clear now. This map should describe the origin of the Ghost Ship."
After his reminder, everyone nodded.
Luo Shuiyao said with lingering fear, "Looks like there are indeed evil spirits in the black fog we experienced earlier. No wonder the black fog can eat people!"
Xiao Yuanjing nodded slightly and said, "The content of the third painting should be that the ghost ship is surrounded by black fog. Many living people are trapped in the ghost ship, and they are all trapped in the secret room."
At this point, his face trembled, and he could not help but gulp, "Eh, why is there a statue in the third painting?"
Someone looked at everyone's position and then at the position of the person in the painting. When he realized that it was the same, he cried out in shock, "I-I think it's talking about us …"
This time, no one spoke. They felt that the temperature in the secret room seemed to have suddenly dropped by dozens of degrees, and a chill gradually surged into their hearts.
Even though everyone present was invincible, they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines at this moment.
Could it be that Xiao Buyi had really comprehended the heavenly secrets 20 years ago and foreseen their arrival 20 years later?
"That's not right!"
Bai Shaoyu suddenly exclaimed, "There's something wrong with the number of people in the ghost ship. Count them, they seem to be about the same as our current number!"
Everyone hurriedly looked at the third painting and secretly counted the people inside. Luo Shuiyao even started counting one by one, "One, two …"
"Forty-six …"
"Forty-seven …"
"Forty-eight …"
"Buzz!"
The entire chamber instantly fell into a deathly silence. Everyone felt their scalps go numb, and someone muttered, "How could it be 48?"
Everyone's faces instantly turned ashen.
In the beginning, there were 48 of them. Bai Pengfei and Xiao Shun were dead, and Shi Qianhan was not present. Logically speaking, there should be 45 of them left. How could there be three more?
Even if the black shadow that escaped first was included.
That was only forty-six!
And there were two more!
After a while, someone said weakly, "Could it be that we're overthinking things? Could it be another group of people on this map and not us?"
"Impossible!"
Xiao Yuanjing shook his head with certainty and said, "Take a closer look at the position of the person in the painting. It's exactly the same as ours, and there are only two … women!"
As his voice fell!
Everyone looked at Luo Shuiyao and Tong Shuhui.
Yes!
Among the forty-odd people present, there were only two women!
This could no longer be described as a coincidence!
Luo Shuiyao's voice gradually started to tremble, "Could it be that the old woman who died earlier and the guy who was dragged out of the window are also included?"
She regretted saying that.
That was because the old woman died before the ghost ship returned. At that time, there was no black fog on the ghost ship, and when the guy who was dragged out of the window died, everyone was still on the first floor of the ghost ship.
The 48 people in the third painting were all in the secret room.
At this moment, Xiao Yuanjing said again, "I've made another discovery. Look!"
Everyone hurriedly looked over and saw Xiao Yuanjing pointing at the two people in the third painting. He enunciated word by word, "Did you guys notice that these two people are a little different?"
Although the two people he was pointing at were wearing clothes, their faces were shrouded in a faint black fog. The facial features in the black fog were vaguely ferocious and twisted, and a pair of eyes were faintly discernible like ghost fire.
Xiao Yuanjing took a deep breath in and reminded them again, "Don't you guys think that these two people are a little similar to the evil spirits in the black fog outside the ghost ship in the painting?"
"That's right!"
Bai Shaoyu also realized the problem at this moment. He then raised his eyes and stared at everyone warily, "Among all of us here, there are two ghosts, evil spirits!"
"What?"
When everyone heard that, their bodies froze subconsciously. They sized each other up, their eyes filled with vigilance and wariness.
"Which two are ghosts?"
"That's impossible, right?!"
"Could it be that after the ghost ship returned, we didn't close the doors and windows in time, so a ghost came in through the black fog?"
"…"
At that moment, everyone started discussing in panic.
However, Xiao Yuanjing lifted his head slowly and looked at Ye Chen and the old man with the sword. He said coldly, "The two of them are ghosts!"
Luo Shuiyao immediately said coldly, "Xiao Yuanjing, stop slandering us!"
"That's right!"
Yuan Qitai, Zhang Wuming, and the rest also said, "Young Master Xiao, even if you had a grudge with Mr. Ye before, you shouldn't slander him for nothing!"
The old man's expression gradually turned cold, "Young Master Xiao, I don't think I've offended you, right?"
"I'm slandering you?"
Xiao Yuanjing smirked coldly and threw the sheepskin map on the ground. He said, "Take a closer look. Aren't these two ghosts standing in the same position as Ye Chen and the rest?!"
Everyone fell silent when they saw it.
One of the ghosts in the painting happened to be standing next to the wall on the east side, while the other ghost was standing in front of Xiao Buyi's statue.
Unfortunately, the person leaning against the wall was Ye Chen, and the person facing Xiao Buyi's stone statue was the old man with the sword.
At the next moment!
Everyone took a few steps back and isolated Ye Chen and the old man with the sword. Even Zhang Wuming, the Luo family, and the Tang family were no exception.
"How is this possible?!"
The old man with the sword was instantly dumbfounded. He said incoherently, "How could I be a ghost? It's impossible!"
"How could Ye Chen be a ghost?!"
Luo Shuiyao still could not accept it. She tried to argue for Ye Chen, "We boarded the ship with Ye Chen. He's clearly a human. How could he be a ghost?"
"The truth is right before our eyes. Xiao Buyi's prophecy wasn't wrong at all. Don't tell me that Xiao Buyi deliberately harmed Ye 20 years ago?"
Xiao Yuanjing smirked as if he was mocking them. In the end, his gaze landed on Ye Chen, "So, you two ghosts have been hiding around us. If Xiao Buyi hadn't pointed us out, we would still have been kept in the dark by you guys!"
