Chapter 489 - 487: The Police Have Been Notified
Upon hearing this alluring sound, the two of them immediately walked outside.
As they opened the door, they saw a woman sprawled at the public bathroom, staring horrified in front of her, trembling all over, and retreating step by step.
Tang Si promptly walked over, and Song Yi grabbed Tang Si’s hand.
He turned back to look at Song Yi, who said, "Be careful."
Such an occurrence was extremely uncanny, who knew what dangers lay ahead?
The woman was obviously too frightened to muster any strength to get up, so Tang Si walked ahead to assess the situation.
And Song Yi followed behind.
She wanted to help the woman up and comfort her in her turmoil.
...
The bathroom mirror faced the corridor.
On the sink was a streak of bright red blood, and the faucet seemingly dripped blood.
Drip by drip, eerie and sinister, a thick scent of blood lingered in everyone’s nostrils.
Many people peeked out to look, but none dared to step inside, all keeping their distance.
Song Yi, alarmed, squatted down to help the woman up.
The woman shakily grasped onto Song Yi’s arm to stand.
Tang Si, with furrowed brows, walked to the mirror.
"Swish——" In shock, a word suddenly appeared.
The word happened to be right in the center of the mirror before Tang Si’s face.
Death—
Instantly, the word dripped down in blood, and at that moment, the light flickered twice.
Song Yi squinted her eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at the scene before her.
"Did the same thing happen to you just now?"
"Yes, it was the same, and when I turned the faucet, all that came out was blood," the woman said, her voice trembling, clearly terrified.
Song Yi asked several questions, and the woman started muttering deliriously, talking about ghosts and such.
Soon, Strong and his crew arrived.
They surveyed the scene thoroughly.
Tang Si turned his head, looking directly at Strong: "Have you called the police?"
Strong responded directly: "Yes, we have. Our ship will dock at the next port, and then the police said they would come."
"Alright," Tang Si pursed his lips, "Let’s all return for now."
"Obviously, someone is playing a prank."
"But that blood is real; who knows whose blood it is?" someone said, "We’ve all smelled the heavy scent of blood, and it’s making me nauseous."
Strong composed his face: "Everyone, please stay calm and return to your rooms. I will notify everyone immediately if there’s any development."
"Ah, there’s a note here." At the door of another room in the corridor, a girl started speaking.
This statement caught everyone’s attention, directing all eyes to the girl.
The girl, realizing everyone was watching her, held the white note and tremblingly read aloud its words: "The note says, one per night... dies."
"What!?" was the reaction, as no one could remain composed any longer.
The scene devolved into chaos.
Then someone proposed: "I think there’s something terribly wrong with this ship; one has already died, and this note couldn’t have appeared out of nowhere. There’s definitely an issue. I suggest we don’t stay in our own rooms; let’s choose one room to stay in together, alright?"
Everyone agreed with this suggestion, as being all together gave a sense of security.
Strong said, "If you really are afraid, choose to stay in the dining room on the 2nd floor. It has more space and is larger than the rooms."
"We will certainly investigate this matter, but it absolutely doesn’t involve anything supernatural, please rest assured."
At this point, Tang Si and Song Yi didn’t express any opinions.
Once Strong had calmed everyone’s nerves, he turned to leave, his lips curling into a slight smile.
Tang Si squinted his eyes and suddenly patted Strong’s shoulder.
Strong turned back: "What’s the matter?"
"Nothing, just wondering if I can grab another piece of clothing from my room before heading to the dining room?"
Strong looked Tang Si up and down, remaining silent for two or three seconds: "Alright."
...
With everyone gathered together, the room felt cramped, and the air seemed stifled, with windows and doors shut tightly.
No unusual events occurred for the rest of the time, until night fell, enveloping everything in darkness.
Night brought with it an exceptional fear.
Because in the dark, people couldn’t see anything, fearing the unknown.
Strong and his crew were investigating the event.
Everyone was trembling, glancing nervously at each other, afraid a killer might emerge and stab them.
The air was terrifyingly silent, with only the sound of hearts beating and breathing.
It seemed even a small noise was a crime, making the scene chillingly cold.
Fear spreads, and when everyone is afraid, the atmosphere turns chillingly eerie.
"Bang——!" Suddenly, a noise accelerated everyone’s heartbeat.
The ship swayed, causing everyone to clutch onto one another.
Tang Si tightened his grip on Song Yi’s hand.
They turned their gazes towards the source of the sound.
"Whoosh——" A cold, eerie wind somehow blew open the glass, flooding the whole room.
A corpse lay there.
Blood seeped into the floor, the face ghastly pale, blood oozing from the nose, eyes, and ears, eyes wide open as if staring at everyone inside.
"Aaaah!" Everyone present screamed.
"How did this person die?"
"I don’t know; just suddenly lying there, everything shook, and suddenly there was one more?"
"Did one appear, or is one of us dead?"
Those present took a headcount.
"Indeed, one is missing, sobbing..."
"It’s that woman from earlier, whose boyfriend died during the meal!" someone recognized the person.
"It really is her."
"What should we do? When will this ship dock?"
"Where is the captain? Where has the captain gone?"
Tang Si spoke at this time: "I’ll go call him."
Because in the pitch-black sea, this cruise ship was the only refuge, with nowhere else to go, and it was the place where the most people gathered—no one dared to wander outside.
Only Tang Si proposed this.
Everyone nodded: "Hurry, go quickly."
"Don’t waste any time, hurry back, it’s terrifying."
"I now suspect that the captain and his crew are no longer around; they haven’t shown up at all."
Tang Si lowered his eyes and chuckled coldly; the fact that they hadn’t shown up once was the real issue.
