Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 304

[Chapter 304 The “Captain” of the Obsidian]

carried Ai on his shoulders, and was the first to pass through the big hole and step into the upside-down corridor. Be at the back of the line in case raiders appear suddenly.

The team walked cautiously through the corridor, everyone was always paying attention to the movement around them, and at the same time carefully observed every structure in the corridor.

And after stepping into the corridor, they did find some details that they hadn’t noticed at the entrance before.

This hallway isn’t just upside down – twists and weirdness are everywhere.

Doors with obviously inconsistent sizes are randomly inlaid on the walls on both sides, some are upright, some are upside down, round portholes can be seen occasionally on the walls, but the opposite side of the window is either a wall, or another door or window, Some weird geometric protrusions suddenly appeared on the walls or floors, which looked like room structures elsewhere, but were mistakenly integrated into the corridor.

The internal state of the “Obsidian” is like the internal organs of a giant beast modified by a terrible doctor. All its internal organs are stacked and connected in a distorted manner. The rooms are staggered, the doors are skewed, and the exits and entrances are randomly connected. In this corridor that seems to be the main road, and at the end of this corridor… I don’t know what is lurking in the darkness.

The interior of the ghost ship was very quiet, only the sound of everyone’s footsteps knocking on the “ground” that should have been the roof. This sound echoed inside the hull, and there seemed to be something else mixed in it.

Nina and Shirley seemed a bit nervous, but Alice was in good condition—this puppet was not brave, but seriously lacked common sense, and all her sailing experience came from the same evil and weird loss of home No. 1, so she didn’t think the situation inside this ghost ship was anything to be afraid of.

After walking forward like this for an unknown amount of time, this long corridor seemed to extend endlessly in the darkness, and the area in front of it seemed to be getting darker and darker. Duncan poked the pigeon on his shoulder: “Lighting.”

Ai Yi suddenly screamed sharply: “Take this solar-powered battle axe! Embrace the glory of battle!”

As the pigeon blew, a burst of bright green flames rose from its body, and the blazing flames suddenly burst into flames. Dispelled the darkness in the corridor.

Fan Na looked at this scene in astonishment, and murmured to Morris in front of her in a low voice: “This pigeon…can still be used like this?”

Morris’ tone was very indifferent: “The captain often uses it like this—sometimes the pigeon When he’s not around, he will use himself to illuminate.”

Fan Na: “…?”

But this time, before she could lament again the huge gap between the “legendary Captain Duncan” and the real Captain Duncan, there was a sudden transmission of light. The sound of coming interrupted everyone’s actions.

“Dong dong dong…”

It sounded like a dull knocking sound—it came from behind a nearby door!

Everyone stopped for an instant, and their eyes focused on the direction from which the voice came from.

It was a blue door with the words “Captain’s Cabin” written on it.

From the perspective of a normal ship structure, the captain’s cabin is of course impossible to be in this position. However, on a ghost ship that is already completely chaotic, and various cabin entrances are piled up randomly, it is possible for any door to appear in any place. .

“Dong dong dong…”

The knocking sound rang again, more obvious than before, and it seemed a little hasty.

It was as if a survivor of a shipwreck was hiding behind that door, and after hearing the movement in the corridor, he slammed on the door anxiously to attract help.

Fanna silently reached out to touch the giant sword behind her, Shirley slightly raised the black chain in her hand, Nina hid behind Alice, and Alice raised her hand to hug her head.

Duncan came to the door expressionlessly.

The knocking sound continued to ring continuously.

But Duncan didn’t mean to open the door, he just curled his fingers and knocked on the door twice.

The knocking sound inside suddenly stopped, as if the person who made the sound was a little surprised. After a few seconds of silence, a hoarse and deep voice suddenly broke the silence, and it sounded from behind the blue door: “Outside… someone Is it?”

“Yes.” Duncan said lightly.

“Ah, that’s great! I’m the captain of the Obsidian. I don’t know what happened to the ship, but I’m trapped,” said the hoarse and deep voice immediately, “Good sir outside the door, what’s your name?” Name? Can you open the door for me?”

“You can just call me Duncan,” Duncan said, while pressing his hand behind him, signaling to the others to be calm, “Before I open the door, I want to make sure—are you really Is it the captain of the Obsidian?”

“Of course! My name is Christo Barberi, you can find my name and ID number from the Port Authority, and my ID is in the room,” said the voice immediately , “But… for some reason, this damned door is not moving at all, and I really have no way to come out to prove my identity to you…” “

Next question,” Duncan ignored the chatter of the person inside the door, but continued He asked, “What year is this year?”

“This year?” The voice in the door was obviously stunned for a moment, probably thinking that the question was a bit strange, but he still replied, “Of course it is 1894. Is there any problem?”

Duncan glanced back at Morris, who nodded slightly.

In 1894, that was the date of the shipwreck of the Obsidian.

Thinking of the shipwreck, Morris suddenly stepped forward and asked, “Excuse me, captain, do you know that there is a passenger named ‘Brown Scott’ on your ship?”

“Passengers?” The voice behind the blue door hesitated, “I can’t remember the names of every passenger on the ship, but…you mean Brown Scott? Ah, I remembered, I don’t know Remember, the folklorist? He was a well-known man. I talked to him a few times. I had the impression that he was a very thin gentleman. His hair and beard were always meticulous. The customs are very researched, and I am also very interested in the frozen sea area in the north of the frost…”

Hearing the voice from behind the blue door, Morris nodded slightly, and said to Duncan in a low voice: “No Deviation.”

“He has a clear mind, a complete memory, and can accurately say his name,” Fan Na, who had never spoken, suddenly broke the silence, “But it cannot be ruled out that it is an evil creature that has absorbed human memories and emotions and set traps. This kind of thing is not uncommon on ghost ships.”

“Oh, that doesn’t matter, as long as you really have the captain’s memory,” Duncan said indifferently, “Monsters can also try to reason first—if the reason doesn’t make sense, then go It always makes sense when you talk about physics.”

Fan Na was stunned: “…That’s true.”

Duncan put his hand on the handle of the blue wooden door.

“I’m going to open the door, Mr. Barberry,” he said to the inside.

Then, he turned the handle—unlike the completely rusted hatch doors he had seen before, this door seemed to have no signs of damage. slight sound.

The door opened.

Under everyone’s slightly nervous gaze, Duncan pushed open the door.

An upside-down room appeared in front of everyone.

All the walls are crooked, and the ceiling is crooked as if it is about to collapse completely. The original furnishings in the room are randomly integrated into the nearby walls and the ground, as if buried by wood and metal. For such an incomplete part as the chair, there is even a huge hole in the wall facing the door. The opposite side of the hole is dark, and it doesn’t know where it leads.

And there was no one in the upside-down room.

Duncan glanced at the empty room, but in the next second, he heard the voice of the captain “Christo Barberry” coming from behind the blue door: “Ah, you Did you open the door? I seem to feel the shaking, but the door still won’t move in my hand… Is there something wrong with my perception or cognition? Can you help? I may have been stuck at sea for too long Time, there are already some bad symptoms, it would be even better if there is a priest who is willing to lend a helping hand…”

Duncan frowned.

He walked into the chaotic room, slowly turned the door around, and looked behind the door panel.

He saw the “Christo Barberi”.

A mass…like an incomplete melted wax figure stuck to the door, and in the deformed and collapsed structure, an arm sticking to the door panel, several fiber bundles connected to the hand, and a large group of fundamental Can’t see what the “ontology” is.

This horrible and twisted thing was fused with the door in this way. When Duncan watched it, it was still slightly shrinking and wriggling, and a hoarse and low sound came out from a certain part of its structure—

” Ah, I can’t see you, have you come in? The room may be a bit messy, there was a big shock before, and I haven’t cleaned up the room since then… I seem to have some vision problems, but the problem is not very big , the most troublesome thing now is that I can’t move my body, I seem to have forgotten how to control my hands and feet—by the way, are you bringing a doctor with you?” (End of this chapter
