Chapter 284: Hidden door

Wu Fei made a circle around the place where the sound was different, squatted down and knocked on it from time to time, and finally circled out a position according to the different sounds. The size was similar to a rectangle of about one square meter.
He fell to the ground again and looked closely around the place, but found nothing.
Wu Fei stood up from the ground and remembered that the complicated occupation was a thief. The basic attributes of observation were much higher than that of him. Maybe he could find something. So he hurriedly called Fanfan and told him what he had found, and asked her to examine it carefully.
Fanfan knelt on the floor and looked at it carefully, then touched it carefully at the circle outlined by Wu Fei, then raised his head and looked at Wu Fei: "There are seams here."
She stretched out her long fingers and drew three times on the floor, drawing a rectangle with one less line: "Here, here, and here, there are seams in these three places... Look at the shape, here seems to be... a door ."
She said she pushed the central area of ​​the "door", but there was no response to the place where the door should be. Wu Fei frowned, and stepped forward to push with her, but it also didn't work.
Fanfan looked carefully and said: "This door can only be pushed upward from below. We must pull in this direction."
Wu Fei also thought about this, but it was difficult to find even the door cracks on their side, not to mention the places where door handles and the like could be borrowed. The only thing that can be explained is that from the time of the original design, this door has never been thought to be opened by the person above.
Wu Fei thought of something at that moment, and his face changed suddenly. He said to the crowd next to him: "Go to the warehouse next to them and their rooms to see if there are the same... doors on those floors."
He remembered that the last message left by the planners who boarded the ship last time was "Caution Door", but Wu Fei had always understood it as a caution because of the experience of seeing something in the mirror behind the door fall off the san value. The door in their room and the mirror behind it.
But now it seems that the truth is far from simple.
Wu Feihe's complicated and simple three quickly checked all the rooms they could go to and found that the floor of the room above the three of them was all normal, but on the negative floor where the seafarers lived. Almost every room, whether it is a bedroom or a warehouse, has such a hidden "door" on its floor.
Wu Fei remembered the scene he was "seeing" in the bedroom upstairs full of blood, meat and mucus, and recollected it carefully after suffering discomfort-the sunken bed covered with blood, the quilt Overturning all kinds of broken furniture and broken pipes on the ground...
He felt his forehead jump, and quickly asked the seafarer's supervisor to ask: "I didn't find anything. Did he hide in another layer? What is below this layer?"
"It's all cargo compartments," the steward said. "It's locked there, and it's impossible for ordinary crew to go down when they are not loading and unloading."
Wu Fei didn't listen and insisted on going down, but this time the manager refused him firmly.
Wu Feiming knew that there should be important clues below. Naturally, he did not want to give up easily, and asked conciseness to ask for it.
Simplicity is the client that Bourth valued, so this time the manager did not directly refuse, but hesitated. The system sees the stitches again, and routinely requires a simple dice roll to determine whether they can go down to check.
Concise and good luck, the dice roll was successful. The manager finally dared not offend Little Bert, took the key and took Wu Fei and went to the second floor.
Walking down the negative floor, they were greeted by a heavy iron door. The steward took out the key to open the door, and pushed the door to invite them in.
Wu Fei was slightly puzzled. If it was only the cargo compartment, would you use such a thick door?
The negative second floor is more humid and cold, because there is no one, so only the faint and cold white light on the bulkhead, the entire cabin appears extremely dim.
As soon as he entered, Wu Fei felt that the sea-like breath was stronger, almost making him unable to breathe. He was forced to endure so that he could stay in this uncomfortable atmosphere and continue to stay, instead of turning around and leaving.
There are all kinds of containers in the cabin, and there is nothing strange other than that. The only thing Wu Fei cares about is that the ceiling and the walls of the cabin are built with thick or thin metal pipes, which almost completely The cabins were all surrounded and led straight to the lower three floors below.
"Is the cargo compartment below?" Wu Fei asked.
"Yes." The manager nodded, affirming Wu Fei's guess.
Wu Fei reached out and tapped the metal pipes painted with reddish brown paint, looked at the mesh or round windows left above, and asked the manager: "What are these pipes used for? Ventilation?"
The manager said, "Yes," "Yes, because the two underground floors are almost completely closed and are no longer ventilated, so ventilation ducts are needed to convey the air."
Wu Fei nodded and pretended to be close to a pipe with a thick common pillar closest to him. He quietly put his ear on it and listened carefully--
In addition to the sound of wind, there seemed to be a whiff of water, sounds... and sounds like something sliding.
Wu Fei only thought about what the voice might be, and heard the system prompt: "You heard a voice that is difficult to explain with scientific common sense, and the sane value is reduced by 2."
No, I don’t pursue the truth that much. I think this voice is completely understandable... So, can I return my sane value to me?
...
Wu Fei looked at it pretendingly in the cargo compartment. This way, naturally he couldn't find his "pocket watch". In the end, he put on a reluctant look, reluctantly gave up the pocket watch amidst the solace of consolation and complicated acting, and went back upstairs with the two.
As soon as he returned to the room, Wu Fei hurriedly closed the door and told his guess about the two:
"I think I have guessed the missing seafarers and the truth behind the Deep Sea."
"Unsurprisingly," Wu Fei took a breath and said, "There should be a big thing on this ship. It must not be the level of the evil spirit, but it should also be a powerful xenobiosis. And if I don't Guess wrong, it should be a mollusk like an octopus."
"Using those pipes, it can move freely under the hull. And the crew members who are locked up are the food dedicated to it-I don’t know how the crew members and the Burt family reached an agreement with that thing, but obviously There is a kind of tacit understanding between them, that thing is so powerful, but it has not exhausted and the fish has eaten all the crew, but from time to time eats a single crew, which shows that it also needs to use the deep sea to achieve its purpose, and it is very This is clear, so it will not let the Shenhai completely shut down. And the Shenhai has always helped it to achieve this goal very well."
"And our task this time is to find out what this thing is and then kill it; even if we can't kill it, at least we must find a way to stop it from continuing to be a disaster."
"The Burt family should definitely know about the existence of this thing, even if they are probably the initiators. If we want to deal with it, we have to figure out what it is and how it got to the ship. It’s a bit too risky to face it directly before figuring it out, so now the more feasible way is to start with Bert Jr. and see if there are any clues from him-such as the notes left by Old Bert."
Nodded succinctly and complicatedly, all agree with Wu Fei's analysis. Concise and proactive: "I can find a way to get Dr. Bout drunk while eating at night, and then take the opportunity to investigate the clues in his bedroom."
Because Little Bert might be alert to his instinct freshman who is also a male animal, Wu Fei did not attend when eating at night, and only stayed in the room waiting for the simple and complicated good news.
Just when he estimated that the time was about the same, his door was knocked, and the crowd whispered outside: "Wu Fei, Wu Fei."
When Wu Fei opened the door, he saw that the complexion of his face was anxious, not as if everything he had imagined went smoothly.
"What's wrong?" Wu Fei asked, at the same time posing calmly and freely, trying to calm down the contractor opposite with expressions and eyes.
"There was an accident." Fanfan quietly led Wu Fei to the door of Little Bert's bedroom. The concise guard at the door quickly opened the door to put them in and locked the door from the inside.
As soon as Wu Fei entered the door, he saw Little Bert, who was lying on the ground with a pale face. His posture was a bit stiff and unnatural. The most important thing was that there was a fruit knife that was not pulled out on his chest. Blood stained his pink shirt.
Explaining it plainly and with a white face: "I was drunk with him, but when I was flipping through the things on his table, he suddenly woke up and saw that I was thumping in a terrible way. I A little flustered, he picked up the fruit knife next to it and blocked it for a moment. I didn't expect... just hitting my heart."
Because she killed someone by mistake, she was shocked for a while, and she was deducted 4 sane points.
Wu Fei squatted down and sniffed his nose, confirming that Mr. Little Bert was dead enough to die.
According to their analysis, the two fathers and sons of the Burt family have more than one life directly or indirectly, and they are the kind of people who misuse the lives of others for their own purposes. Therefore, Wu Fei did not feel sorry or sorry at all for his death. What he cared about was that this accident might cause them a lot of trouble.
But he still stood up to appease the two ladies: "It's okay, the problem is not big."
At this moment, the younger servant said outside the door: "Sir, do you need to clean up the table now?"
Wu Fei quickly bought a voice changer belt from the system store and disguised as Bert Jr.'s voice impatiently outside: "No need! Come and clean up tomorrow! No one will come back today!"
The servants knew that Robert Jr. was having dinner with conciseness and had a lot of wine, and he did not doubt this command.
Finally, it was difficult to deal with the matter in front of me, and I heard the sound of "jingle jingle", which originated from the fixed phone on Bert's desk. Wu Fei took a breath and stepped forward to answer the phone, saying in the voice of Little Bert: "Hello? Who is it?"
In the current sound of "Baha Laa", a faint male voice sounded from there: "I have arrived on Paradise Island."
"You'd better be honest, don't think about tricks, don't forget what the Burt family has been relying on all these years."
Wu Fei: "..."
He felt as if he had entered a pit.
Who can imagine someone behind Bert's family? ! Isn't it enough to solve that thing on the Shenhai?
Even if he is not a Cthulhu enthusiast, he probably understands that in this world background, it is not a good thing to know too much and investigate too deeply...
