"I also stand on Hao Wener." Almost as soon as Ke Xun's voice fell, Wei Dong immediately made a statement.

"I also stand with Wen'er brother!" Luo Ling was only a beat slower than him.

Qin Ci smiled and looked at Shao Ling and the newcomers beside him: "The so-called same way, one more choice and one more coping style, it’s okay. If you are willing to be with us, please speak up. ."

But when he saw Xue Ge suddenly come out and stood on the side of the old member, he glanced at him when he passed by Ke Xun, and said flatly: "You convinced me."

"In this case, let's deal with tonight in our own way," Liu Yanlei said coldly, "but forgive me for the ugly words ahead, I hope your actual actions can be worthy of your eloquence, the critical moment Don't hold us back."

"To each other." Ke Xun looked directly into his eyes with a smile.

Regardless of the face or the momentum, Liu Yanlei was completely crushed, and he turned his head with a cold snort and left.

Shao Ling was still calm and composed, only slightly nodding at the veteran team, and said, "Good luck." She also turned her head and walked towards the central hall in the center of the cabin on the first floor.

The five old members took Xue Ge and Luo Ling to stay in place. Luo Ling looked at Ke Xun and Mu Yiran, and said, "Brother, brother-in-law, what shall we do tonight?"

Ke Xun: "..."

Mu Yiran: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Ke Xun: "Who is your brother and sister?!"

Luo Ling: "Don't pay attention to these details. Brothers, you guys should give an idea quickly, it's dark this day."

Everyone habitually looked at Mu Yiran, and Mu Yiran, as always, never let them down: "In the story of Niuzhu Burning Rhinoceros, burning rhinoceros is the source of disaster and death, but considering our needs Looking for the seal, maybe only by lighting the rhino horn can you get the clue of the seal. Therefore, this has become a situation of knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and tending to go to the tiger mountains.

"The force of death in the painting is irresistible. If it is this force that ignites the rhino horn, then we face an unsolvable death.

"But,'painting' will not set us dead. It is usually a life of nine deaths. There is more than one dangerous force in painting.

"In addition to the only irresistible force of death, there is another force that is extremely dangerous, but as long as you find the right method, you can crack and survive.

"For example, in "Fun Shi", as long as you are not seen by ghosts and hold your breath, you can not be killed; in "Human Xue", as long as you faint, you can avoid losing your senses and go crazy. By tacit understanding, you will not be electrocuted by the electric current—they are all nine deaths that can be cracked.

"It can be seen that the situation that occurs after lighting the rhino horn should be the latter-it will not let us die without resistance, but will be in danger of death, but there is not necessarily no solution.

"As for how to solve it, there is no shortcut. We can only and must pass the first night's death to verify and get the clues to crack. Therefore, we can't make a perfect response in advance, but can only adapt to changes.

"This painting is a limited space. No matter life or death, it only happens on this ship. So I infer that escape and avoidance are not ways to avoid death, because we have nowhere to escape.

"Therefore, the method of death in this painting is not an indiscriminate attack type, and it should not be a task completion type, but it is most likely a trigger or conditional type.

"There are many types related to conditions, but given the limited space of this ship and the limited items on board, I think the conditions should have nothing to do with finding or collecting props.

"And since it has nothing to do with objects, it is very likely to be related to our behavior and thoughts. Therefore, I believe that the conditions for death this time should be closely related to the performance of each of us.

"Bows and crossbows are just a precautionary measure. It is difficult to say whether they can be used or not, but it is good to have more preparations. As for rhino horns, we don't have to rush to light them. Let's watch the changes first. If the situation shows that we must burn, we must also do it. A reasonable arrangement.

"I, Ke Xun, Luo Ling, are in a team. You, Dr. Qin, are in a team. You don’t have to have a crossbow. You don’t have to work together in the team. Some people hold crossbows for defense, while others hold rhino horns and flint and steel. Flammable or non-flammable.

"We set our squat position at the stern of the ship. The four of you, Dr. Qin, go to the rear of the second floor. The three of us will come to the stern of the first floor. If nothing happens, the force will come from the sea, so you will pass the first floor first. Among the four with good eyesight, they are responsible for reconnaissance. If the situation is not good, consider dispersing and avoiding or entering the house to avoid, it is up to your own camera to decide.

"Just in case, find two ropes and tie them to the second floor railing. If there is an accident, you can also follow the ropes from the second floor to the first floor, or from the first floor to the second floor in the shortest time.

"That's all I can think of for the time being, do you have anything to add?"

"No more!" everyone responded in unison.

"Mom, my brother-in-law is a little too handsome!" Luo Ling elbows Ke Xun while stunned, "It is reasonable and unassailable! Brother, you are right to bend!"

"..." Ke Xun raised his arms to strangle the boy's neck, hooping the stairs leading to the lower deck, "follow me down to find the rope."

Others waited on the deck temporarily. Zhu Haowen and Wei Dong stood on the edge of the ship and looked into the sea. Mu Yiran and Qin Ci went to the central hall where Shao Ling’s team was located, and compared Mu Yiran’s previous speculation with those. People have said it once, and they can't cut off the news because the team is acting. As for whether the other party is willing to believe and adopt it, that's their own business.

This team was busy working in the middle hall. They got hammers and nails from somewhere. They also dismantled two low couches. They were sealing the windows with the dismantled wooden boards, leaving the door as the only exit.

They also carried all the boxes under the floor of the captain's room into the hall, saying that they might have any effect. The six people under the command and coordination of Shao Ling proceeded in an orderly manner, faintly surrounded by Shao Ling as the leader.

After listening to Mu Yiran's analysis, Shao Ling nodded and expressed his gratitude, and reciprocated: "If you are in danger, just call it and we will do our best to help."

When Mu Yiran and Qin Ci returned to the stern deck, Ke Xun had just returned with Luo Ling, holding a few large rolls of hemp rope in his arms, "An unfavorable situation-the mobile phone was deprived of its lighting function, Luo Ling The flint and steel can’t ignite any combustibles,” Ke Xun said to everyone, “We could only move in the dark just now. Fortunately, I still remember the approximate position of the rope. It seems that this painting allows us to ignite the rhino horn. We are not allowed to use any lighting objects."

"To be precise, after dark, no other lighting is allowed." Zhu Haowen added, "Now it is dark, and at dawn, we can still use the mobile phone light when entering the lower deck."

Ke Xun patted his forehead: "I forgot to find a few more flint and flint on the bottom, I will go down and look for it.

Zhu Haowen stretched out his hand and gave him a hand: "Don't go, things without lighting are hard to find, use mine."

He took out the flint and steel from his arms.

"You too," Ke Xun looked at him, and suddenly found something, raised his eyebrows to look at him, "You smoke?"

Zhu Haowen has never smoked a cigarette in front of Ke Xun.

"Well, was it unexpected?" Zhu Haowen was calm.

"Quit," Ke Xun said, "young people, fitness is the right way to relax, learn from me."

Zhu Haowen looked at him, smiled, did not speak.

Ke Xun asked Qin Ci: "Dongzi doesn't smoke, do you smoke Qin?"

Qin Ci also smiled: "As a doctor, I know the disadvantages of smoking better than anyone else. I don't smoke. Then only Hao Wen in our group has flint and steel."

"I have too." It was Xue Ge who took the call, and took out the flint and steel from the yoke on his body.

"That's almost enough," Ke Xun said. "Our group uses carrots. Go up and prepare to meet the enemy when the rope is ready."

"I will help you pay attention to the farther range on top." Zhu Haowen said.

"Okay, be careful." Ke Xun patted him on the shoulder.

Zhu Haowen took a deep look at him, then turned his head back and said, "You too."

Everyone arranged the ropes. Ke Xun Mu Yiran and Luo Ling waited quietly outside the door of the stern house, the door was open, and if needed, they would go into the house.

The sea was quiet at night, with only microwaves and creaking noises when pushing the hull.

There are a few sparse stars in the night sky above. There is no moon, and the clouds are blown by the high-altitude wind, gathering and dispersing, unpredictable.

Countless lives and deaths have made Ke Xun and Mu Yiran a tacit understanding. Needless to say, everything is in good spirits.

The two of them just stood side by side in silence, their arms pressed against their arms, and their sleeves interlocked their fingers.

Then a third hand suddenly reached out in frustration, and held them together.

Ke Xun: "..."

Mu Yiran: "..."

Ke Xun: "Do you want to be beaten?"

Luo Ling: "I'm scared, brother, you can add me."

Ke Xun: "...I'll add you a carrot head and add it, start and get your equipment."

Luo Ling: "I don't want to take any equipment, my hands are shaking, I am afraid, I am really afraid..."

He was sobbing.

Ke Xun was silent, raised his hand to embrace his shoulder, and brought him to his side: "In the painting, no comfort is of any use, just like no matter how scared you are, it is useless. So, turnip, if you are unlucky If you are picked by death and the way of death is likely to be extremely miserable, I will help you die quickly so that you will suffer less, agree?"

"Why, how to die quickly?" Luo Ling asked with a choked voice.

Ke Xun lifted the crossbow he held in his other hand, "I will hit your throat with an arrow as accurately as possible, OK?"

"Okay," Luo Ling should not hesitate, and wiped the tears from her face, "Then I'll leave it to you, but you can shoot again if you see it right, in case I can rescue it again, no Don't let me go easily at the last minute!"

"..." Ke Xun didn't want to care about the goods anymore, his eyes fell on the black sea.

Time slowly moved towards twelve o'clock in the night.

A large thick cloud suddenly covered the entire sky, and all the light was swallowed by endless darkness in an instant.

The darkness was too thick, and it made people suddenly blind. They couldn't see any glimmer of light or images. Ke Xun even reached out and put his hand in front of his eyes, unable to see a trace of outline.

This darkness is abnormal.

"Yan Ran." Ke Xun greeted the people around him in a very low voice.

But people around him did not give him any response.

Ke Xun stretched out his hand and touched a piece of nothingness. Mu Yiran, who was standing next to him, was now invisible.

Ke Xun retracted his hand and raised the crossbow, but after thinking about it, he put it down again. It's so dark in front of you, absolutely can't shoot arrows, otherwise Mu Yiran or Luo Ling is very likely to be injured.

"Turnip?" Ke Xun whispered again.

Luo Ling also did not respond.

Ke Xun stood calmly on the spot, did not act rashly, calmed himself down quickly, and listened to the surrounding movement.

There is no voice around.

All he could hear was the sound of the slow surging of the sea and the creaking sound of the wooden hull from time to time.

Crunch, crunch.

Crunching.

Something is crunching on the deck.

As slow as sea water, as crumple as a wooden hull.

Crunchingly, step by step, in the blinding darkness, walked towards this side.
