I can't play this game

But this time really frightened him enough, at this moment he panted heavily and said:

"What's the situation in the space here? I stepped on the ground, why did I fall from the gap above?"

Ji Han shook his head and said:

"I'm afraid that the laws of physics here cannot be measured from the outside."

Walter reminded:

"Everyone keep a distance from those buildings, and you should be fine if you just step on the top side. If you get involved, I'm afraid you won't even know how to rescue them."

Before Walt could finish speaking, Field used the levitation ability on everyone, and everyone's feet left the ground.

"Now is not the time to save your energy. You might end up playing here if you make a wrong step. Let's be more cautious."

As he spoke, he took everyone together and flew forward.

Ji Hanxin said that Kiryu's suggestion to bring Field with him this time was really the right suggestion, and the flying ability is indeed too convenient in this mission.

And judging by his attitude, he really regarded everyone as his own for this mission.

Not long after flying out, Eggplant rubbed his eyes and said:

"Do you feel that as we move forward, the vision is slowly distorted."

Ji Han nodded and said:

"I thought it was a normal phenomenon of returning to land from the boat, but according to what you said, it doesn't seem to be the case."

Walter explained:

"Maybe we have been in the fog for too long, and the evaporating water vapor creates a lens effect, so this illusion occurs."

Ji Han clasped his palms together and silently recited the [Sutra of Punishing Evil and Calming the Heart].

The soft golden light enveloped the six people, and the distorted visual sense gradually disappeared.

[Sutra of Punishing Evil and Calming the Heart] can indeed relieve some of Cthulhu's mental attacks, but I haven't heard any other sounds since I got to the island. How could I have such an illusion?

But at this time, there was no time to think so much. Fortunately, the sense of illusion in everyone's eyes gradually disappeared.

With the help of Field's ability to levitate and fly, everyone moved forward very quickly, the surrounding fog gradually faded, and many half-meter-high black shadows could be vaguely seen on the ground in front of them.

Field slowed down vigilantly, and everyone began to observe the surrounding environment in detail.

This place seems to be a simple large square, without so many strange buildings outside, it looks very open.

But when they got closer, everyone realized that those half-meter-high black shadows on the square were actually corpses kneeling on the ground.

Chapter 692 The Door of Pilgrimage

Looking at the corpses everywhere, Walter asked in a low voice:

"Are they worshiping?"

Eggplant puzzled and said:

"I've seen a lot of similar worship activities, but none of them used themselves as sacrifices."

The kneeling corpses were so simply dressed that they appeared to be those of the nearby islanders.

Even though the corpses have been severely decomposed, it can be seen from the uniform movements and facial expressions of all the corpses that these people who participated in the worship should be quite pious.

Ji Han nodded and said:

"I can't see any fear of death from them, but they are all very excited."

Chen Ke reminded:

"Brother Ji, if you say that, the thing they worship may really be Cthulhu. Have you forgotten that Cthulhu can affect people's spirit?"

"Okay, don't scare yourself, Song Qian, which way to go next?"

Song Qian pointed to the right side, frowned and said:

"Over there is the direction they worship."

The six people got together and walked carefully along the square towards the direction where the corpses were kneeling.

Field said with a guilty conscience:

"There are so many corpses kneeling around looking up at us, it's really creepy."

Eggplant joked:

"This is what I said, if they stand up, wouldn't you be even more hairy?"

As soon as Eggplant finished speaking, Walter, who was walking in front, suddenly reminded:

"Shh! You really made the crow's mouth right, you see!"

I saw an upright sentence actually appeared among the kneeling corpses in front of me. The man stood on the ground with his arms raised up and seemed to be shouting something loudly.

The six people looked at each other, and slowly surrounded the standing "person" on the left and right sides.

When I got closer, I realized that it was also a corpse.

It's just a little different from the others. Although the clothes they wear are simple, they are obviously much more modern.

Moreover, the facial expression of this corpse is also exaggerated a lot. The facial muscles of everyone have been severely atrophied, but the original panic can still be seen from his face, as if he saw something that made him despair.

Walter stepped forward to check, turned back and said:

"Judging by the clothes, this person is likely to be the missing crew member of the Marys Leicester."

Ji Han nodded and said:

"So, I may have lost all the sailors on the ghost ship here."

Sure enough, soon Chen Ke whispered:

"Come and see, there are also here."

This time it was a corpse curled up on the ground with its head in its arms, and it was also wearing similar clothes.

Then everyone found dozens of similar corpses around, and nearly ten of them were the same as the one standing just now, wearing the clothes of the same era.

The clothes worn by the other corpses are obviously of different ages, some should be from the [-]th century like the Marys Leicester, and some are obviously from the [-]th century.

Unlike the excitement on the faces of those kneeling corpses, although there is some age gap between these corpses, the fear and despair on their faces are similar.

Song Qian asked:

"Brother Han, these should be the people you guessed, who were trapped by the ghost ship and sent here one by one, right?"

"Well, it seems so."

Chen Ke frowned and said:

"If they saw Cthulhu scared to death, I can still accept it, but what I can't understand is that Cthulhu collected these people from the sea and sent them here just to scare them. die?

This is really unreasonable, right? "

Field still remembered Chen Ke's education before, and replied at this moment:

"Chen Ke, didn't you say that humans can't understand Cthulhu? So we certainly can't understand the purpose of their doing things.

It's like the bugs sure can't understand why we collect them and bring them into the lab. "

"Uh, we really can't understand their behavior, but they must have a purpose in doing things. Bringing these people here in a ghost ship is to kill them."

Eggplant shrugged:

"Maybe Cthulhu here is like many fishermen. They don't eat the fish after catching them, just to spend their time fishing."

Ji Han smiled bitterly and said:

"What you said makes sense, but I still hope that the person who brought us here is not so boring and just wants to pass the time, so let's see if you find anything."

Walter reminded:

"I checked all these corpses just now, and I didn't find a sailing diary, nor did I find anything that could prove the identity of the captain or a corpse dressed differently from others.

Hiss, there doesn't seem to be the captain's body inside. "

Eggplant replied:

"There are so many corpses here, could they have fallen?"

"Probably not. Except for those who died in worship, the corpses of other ages seem to be here."

After Ji Han confirmed the direction with Song Qian again, he turned around and said:

"Then keep moving forward and pay a little attention to other corpses. If you see or hear something, you must tell other people as soon as possible, don't wait to be as crazy as them before talking."

Because Ji Han had used the [Sutra of Punishing Evil and Calming the Heart] before, everyone felt that their mental state was okay at the moment, and they didn't feel any mental pressure.

The six people continued to walk along the position where the corpses were facing, and soon the familiar building appeared again in front of them.

The disordered stone pillars rely on each other to form a huge arched door frame.

There are strange patterns carved on the stone pillars. I don't know if they are words or paintings. Ji Hanxin said that this is the first time he has seen a building with carved patterns that makes people more uncomfortable.

Inside the huge arched door frame more than ten meters high is a tightly closed huge stone door.

Various marine marks such as whirlpools and waves are carved with weird symbols on the stone gate, and the most surprising thing is that these strange marks carved on the stone gate are actually alive.

It seemed that standing in front of the six people was a living door to the bottom of the sea.

Chen Ke exclaimed while taking pictures:

"Is this what they worship?"

Just as the eggplant was about to go, Ji Han reminded:

"Don't approach it lightly, the laws of physics here are really incomprehensible, and it is possible to open this giant door."

At this time, Walter pointed to the place where the lower right corner of the giant gate connected to the ground and said:

"Where are you looking?"

I saw a corpse lying on the lower right corner of the giant gate, and the clothes on that corpse were very similar to the sailors on the ghost ship I saw before.

Seeing this, Field used the suspension technique in the air to pull the corpse over from the stone gate.

The corpse floated in front of Ji Han's six people. Just as everyone wanted to confirm the identity of this person, a sailing diary fell directly from the person's waist to the ground.

Chapter 693 The Captain's Diary

Song Qian picked up the diary and flipped through it briefly, then immediately turned around and said:

"That's right, this should be the captain of the Marys Leicester!"

Hearing this, everyone gathered together.

The clothes on this corpse were indeed more formal than those of the others, but they were already worn out.

The most special thing is his facial expression, he is not as excited as those who worshiped, nor is he as frightened as his subordinates and those who came here later.

The arm of the corpse was raised slightly, the eyes were wide open, and the jaw was clenched, as if it was pressing something out before death.

But the corpse was lying on the ground just now, so it shouldn't be pressing something on the door.

Eggplant replied:

"Then let's see what they went through at the time? Maybe it will help us escape from here."

Ji Han took the nautical diary from Song Qian, and used the quantum wave reading method to quickly translate the contents, and only then did he understand the general story.

After sorting out my thoughts a little bit, I told everyone what I wrote in this note:

The captain's name was Edward Smith, and he led his subordinates to sail the Mary Leicester freely on the sea for a long time, and also completed many shipping tasks beautifully.

But this time the situation is a bit special. Originally, our ship docked at a seaport in East Asia to rest and prepare to transport some tea back to China.

But before the deadline for delivery, director Ismay of the shipping company hastily shipped a batch of goods onto the ship.

At that time, the first mate Medale received it, and when I returned to the ship, the cabin was already closed.

They told me that this is a batch of supplies that are in short supply, and as long as they can be shipped back to China immediately, I can earn a lot of money. Looking at the list of goods that Medale has checked and completed, I sent the ship early without doing a second check.

We are very familiar with this sea route. Although we encountered some wind and waves, fortunately there were no accidents.

And I never had any doubts about the cargo in the cabin, I just thought that this endless journey could end soon, and I could go home to be with my family.
