Chapter 122 Minotaur

The sky was getting dark, because the previous room had completely changed its location, so the three of them had no choice but to live in a random room on the second floor.

Fortunately, after the room has changed, it can only be locked from the inside, so there is no need to worry about the inability to get in.

The room they chose was also a triple bedroom, and there were several bags in the bedroom. think someone dropped it yesterday. Lin Qiushi said that he would take it out for them tomorrow, so don't put it in the room, so as not to find it again.

Ruan Nanzhu nodded to agree with Lin Qiushi's words.

Not long after they got back to the room, it started to rain outside again.

The howling sea wind made the rain more powerful, and the whole ship appeared so thin on the vast sea, as if it would be overturned in the black sea in the next second.

The boat was shaking constantly, and even the bed had turned into a hammock. It was a very uncomfortable feeling. Even Lin Qiushui, who was not seasick, had to get up from the bed to let himself Feel better. It is conceivable that if a person is seasick, he may have to spit out everything in his stomach.

"Lin Lin, are you alright?" Ruan Nanzhu asked when Lin Qiushi's face was bad. The shaking bed didn't seem to have much effect on him, and he was still lying on the bed without changing his face.

Lin Qiushi shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and he said, "A little dizzy, get up and sit for a while."

The position he looked out from the window was also constantly changing. Sometimes he saw the cabin, and sometimes he saw the side of the ship. At this time, he happened to be able to see the deck and the rain that washed on the deck.

The kerosene lamps outside were all extinguished, and only the vague outlines on the deck could be seen. Lin Qiushi watched it for a while, and when the rain subsided a little, he planned to lie back on the bed again, but when he was about to go to bed, he noticed Two vague figures appeared on the deck.

One of the figures was standing, about two meters tall, while the other fell to the ground and was dragged on the deck by the taller one.

There were no people two meters tall in their team. Obviously, the thing that appeared in front of Lin Qiushi was not a human being, but what he was dragging in his hand...

Lin Qiushi turned around and gave Ruan Nanzhu a look.

The two didn't need to talk, they understood, Ruan Nanzhu quietly walked behind Lin Qiushi, and followed Lin Qiushi's eyes to look outside.

When he saw the tall figure, his expression suddenly became serious.

Lin Qiushi didn't dare to speak. At this time, the thing was very close to them. If it made a sound, it was very likely to attract its attention. What will happen then is unknown.

The tall figure stopped on the deck, bent down, and buried its head on the other figure it was dragging along. The next moment, Lin Qiushi heard a very unpleasant sound. It was a sound of eating raw meat. The sharp teeth cut through the skin, tearing the fresh meat off piece by piece, followed by rude chewing. and swallow. There was a stench in the air, the smell of blood.

Lin Qiushi understood what was happening in front of him. The rain outside was getting lighter, and the rain at sea came and went quickly. The dark clouds dissipated, revealing the bright white moon. Under the cold moonlight, he finally saw clearly what was happening in front of him.

What appeared in front of Lin Qiushi was a tall monster with a head like a long-dead fish, gills that were moving on his neck, and his body showed a disgusting dark green. The most eye-catching thing is that its two huge white eyeballs, without eyelids, are embedded in the eye sockets abruptly. At this time, they are focusing on the prey under them.

And in front of it lay a half-eaten human, whose face was gone, so he couldn't see what he looked like, and he could only barely tell from the clothes of the human that it was a man.

Looking at everything in front of him, Lin Qiushi held his breath. He thought of Minotaur, the monster in the labyrinth, whether it looked like the monster in front of him when it was eating people.

The monster slowly ate most of the flesh on the human body, its face was covered with blood, and it made a strange hissing sound, as if it was forced out of its throat. Although he didn't understand what it was saying, Lin Qiushi could still hear the meaning of satisfaction from it.

It seemed content because the food in front of her was so delicious that it feasted.

After it was full, it turned around and walked into a room closest to it, and then the environment changed, and the room and deck disappeared in front of Lin Qiushi's eyes.

Lin Qiushi finally dared to speak, he said, "What is this—"

Ruan Nanzhu frowned: "Mermaid?"

Lin Qiushi: "..." To some extent, this is really a mermaid.

"This is Minotaur, right?" Lin Qiushi said, "Can we beat this thing?"

Ruan Nanzhu's finger touched his chin: "Give me a gun to try."

However, guns cannot be brought inside the door, and the door will not support the behavior of the reckless man. There must be a way to easily kill the monster in front of him, and there is no need to force it.

Lin Qiushi thought of the thread mentioned in the Minotaur mythology.

Ruan Nanzhu also thought about it. The two were thinking. Gu Longming, who was sleeping next to him in a daze, woke up. He said, "Why are you still not sleeping? I have already slept..."

Ruan Nanzhu looked at Lin Qiushi: "He usually sleeps so dead?"

Lin Qiushi: "He said he only did this when I was with him."

"Oh." Ruan Nanzhu said, "After that, don't enter the door together."

Gu Longming's face was stunned, obviously he didn't understand what was going on.

"Go to sleep first." Ruan Nanzhu said, "I will collect information tomorrow. We know too little about this ship."

Lin Qiushi nodded and agreed with Ruan Nanzhu's proposal.

The two went to bed again, this time without the sound of rain and waves, and soon fell into sleep.

The next morning, several people got up early and went to the deck.

At this time, there were already a lot of people on the deck. They saw the gnawed corpse that was left with only bones yesterday, and they were making a noisy discussion.

"How can this happen, how can this happen—" There was a woman's cry in the crowd, she said, "There are monsters, there are monsters on this ship!!"

"What happened last night?" Song Yongning asked.

"We heard a little movement in the room last night." The woman replied blankly, "Then he went out to check and never came back."

"I seem to have seen that monster yesterday." It was a little girl who seemed to be young, and she whispered, "It has a fish head, dragged this man to the deck, and ate... devoured it. already."

"Then why didn't you save him!!" The woman who heard the little girl seemed to have found an outlet for her anger, she roared angrily, and even wanted to pounce on the little girl, "You just look at him like that Have you been killed!!"

The little girl was taken aback and cried, "I'm scared too."

"Okay." The other person stopped the woman with one hand, and said with a bit of annoyance, "You blame others for what you are doing. If you are really worried, you don't know how to find it? The deck didn't change positions."

The woman looked at the speaker resentfully, and wanted to say something else, and the man then said coldly: "I'm incompetent, I can't blame others."

The woman burst into tears.

Lin Qiushi kept silent, but quietly observed the corpse in front of him.

It can be seen that the monster likes the food in front of him very much. It not only ate the soft internal organs, but also ate most of the flesh and blood, leaving only the worst head and limbs with no flesh.

"What should I do with this corpse?" The place was very hot. After a night of last night, the corpse on the deck had begun to rot, and there were even mosquitoes circling on it, which made the person watching it very uncomfortable.

"Throw it into the sea." Someone said in a lazy tone, "It can't be put here."

The woman who had been howling before actually didn't make any comments at this time, she just sobbed softly, not daring to look at the hideous corpse again.

So a few men randomly found a piece of rag, wrapped the body and threw it directly into the nearby sea water.

As soon as the body entered the sea, it tumbled. Lin Qiushi looked carefully, only to find that the sea water was actually full of small fish with fangs and sharp teeth - it was a good thing that these small fish did not appear when Xiaomo fell into the water.

It seems that for the newcomers who enter the door for the first time and try to escape, the door's attitude is quite tolerant, at least giving them a chance to reform.

The corpse was gone, and only blood was left on the deck.

Song Yongning went to the side to get a mop and wiped off all the blood on the deck, so in the end, the trace of this person's existence disappeared.

Everyone stood on the deck and began to discuss the monster.

"That's a murloc." The little girl who had seen the monster said, "It's tall, at least two meters tall, and has a very strong body... It dragged people onto the deck, nibbled them all, and then entered a room casually. "

"And after that?" Song Yongning asked.

"The room changed after that," said the little girl. "I don't know where it went."

Now that the room is constantly changing, it is impossible to find this monster from countless rooms, and even if it is found, it is not certain that they can beat it.

Ruan Nanzhu seemed to be thinking about something and didn't speak.

Lin Qiushi's eyes fell on the mosquitoes that were still hovering on the deck. He walked to the mosquitoes, reached out and grabbed one, and frowned slightly when he saw the mosquitoes in his hand.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Nanzhu noticed the strange expression of Lin Qiushi.

"Have you ever seen a mosquito like this?" Lin Qiushi opened his palms, revealing the mosquitoes he just caught.

Ruan Nanzhu was slightly taken aback when he saw the mosquito in Lin Qiushi's hand.

I saw that the mosquito actually had a human face. Although this face was very hideous, it really looked like a human, with eyes, a nose, and a long needle-shaped mouth that existed like a mouthpart.

This mosquito is no more than the size of a grain of rice, and it takes a close look to see what it looks like.

Looking at the mosquito, Ruan Nanzhu remembered something, he said, "Do you remember the NPC that first appeared in front of us?"

Lin Qiushi thought for a while and understood what Ruan Nanzhu wanted to say. He said, "You mean the bugs on him?" The Npc did have dense bugs attached to it, but they didn't take a closer look at that time. The terrifying appearance of these mosquitoes was associated with those things on him.

"Well." Ruan Nanzhu said, "He seems to be in the restaurant."

Lin Qiushi glanced at his watch, it was almost time for lunch, and said, "Let's go and have a look."

The food they eat every day is brought over by this Npc who is covered with mosquitoes. To be honest, this is really not a happy thing, because looking at the dense insects on his body, people can't help but wonder if they will drop a few on their dinner plates.

Ruan Nanzhu came up with a solution. He took out a warm baby from his backpack, and then tore off the side used for pasting at the back, and then walked around the NPC. After a while, the The warm baby was covered with dense black mosquitoes.

After observing, they determined that the bug on this NPC was the one they saw on the deck—a bug with a human face.

"It's disgusting." Gu Longming expressed extreme disgust at this, "Isn't it true that all the mosquitoes on this boat are like this? I killed a few of them last night."

"Most likely." Lin Qiushi looked at the mosquito and thoughtfully, "You said...will this mosquito have anything to do with the maze?"

"What do you mean..." Ruan Nanzhu looked at Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi nodded and said one word: "Line."

Obviously, the labyrinth they were in was very different from the labyrinth of the Minotaur. Every room is constantly changing, so it is definitely impossible to find the monster hidden in the depths of the labyrinth just with cotton thread. Is there another way for the thread to exist, such as the bug in front of them...

Gu Longming's eyes lit up: "It's possible!"

This human-faced mosquito seems to have a special sensitivity to blood, so after a monster eats a person, it will definitely be stained with a lot of blood. Maybe the mosquito can really help them find the trace of the monster.

"The source of that mosquito..." Gu Longming shifted his gaze to the expressionless NPC, and said with a bitter face, "Isn't he supposed to get it from him?"

"High probability." Ruan Nanzhu said.

Gu Longming: "..." To be honest, he felt disgusted even looking at that NPC a few more times.

"If mosquitoes are threads, then what is wine?" Lin Qiushi held his chin and played with the dead fish that seemed to have no appetite in front of him. "I think this is more important."

According to mythology, Theseus used the thread to enter the labyrinth and found Minotaur, and then killed Minotaur who was drinking an aperitif.

Obviously, wine has other images here too, but don't have a clue yet.

aperitif? There was no alcohol on this ship. Gu Longming complained yesterday that it was not normal for a ship like this to have no alcohol.

The three of them did not touch the dead fish on the table and continued to eat the dry food they carried with them. These dry food can last at least ten days, which is enough for them to leave this door.

The time limit given to them by this door NPC is ten days, which means that if they fail to find the door and leave here within ten days, there will definitely be some bad changes on the ship.

"Will the ship really land in ten days?" Gu Longming asked.

"It's impossible to get to the shore." Ruan Nanzhu said, "The most likely thing is that when the time limit is up, the monster goes crazy, kills a group of people, and then enters the cycle again." There is only one person left - that person is invincible under the protection of the rules of the door. It is only a matter of time to find out the key and the door.

"But..." Gu Longming felt that there was something wrong with this matter, "but if you were an ordinary person, you wouldn't be able to easily think of some things, such as this mosquito." He clicked on the human-faced insect that Lin Qiushi put on the table, " Can ordinary people notice?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "There's a lot of time in the door, you can think about it slowly." His tone was light, "Just go out before you go crazy."

Gu Longming: "..."

However, Lin Qiushi remembered from Ruan Nanzhu's words a newcomer that Obsidian once brought back, Qin Bukan. It seemed that he had been in the door for too long, so he could not recover after going out, and was finally disposed of.

Just as they were talking, the NPC finished distributing the food and turned away.

Seeing this, Lin Qiushi followed up, but saw the NPC casually enter a room and then disappeared in front of their eyes.

But the NPC should appear at a fixed time, don't worry about him disappearing, but how do they collect the mosquitoes on him... This is a rather troublesome thing.

with a bottle? With blood? But where did the blood come from? They were discussing, but there was another argument in the restaurant. This time, the objects of the argument were the seasick Shen Juexin, who seemed to be dying, and the woman named Jian Qianyuan who lost her partner this morning.

Because she saw her partner being eaten in half, her mood seemed to be greatly affected, and she always seemed very irritable.

However, her irritable mood is not the most strange thing, but the most strange thing is her terrible food.

When everyone was disgusted by the stale dead fish in front of her, she seemed to like this kind of food, she kept stuffing the white and stinky fish into her mouth, and her face was full of expressions. Satisfied, looks extraordinarily happy.

Shen Juexin, who was next to him, was already seasick. Seeing how Jian Qianyuan was clinging to the fish and eating, he finally couldn't hold back and ran outside in embarrassment, spitting out all the contents in his stomach directly on the deck.

His behavior seemed to stimulate Jian Qianyuan's already fragile nerves. She roared loudly, and even slapped the table hard and roared angrily: "What are you spitting, do you think I'm disgusting!!"

Shen Juexin was yelled inexplicably, explaining that he was just seasick.

"Then why didn't you vomit just now?" Jian Qianyuan said coldly, "Why did you vomit when I was eating—"

Shen Juexin said: "I didn't do it on purpose, I just endured it, but I can't help it now."

Jian Qianyuan smashed the fish head in her hand directly on Shen Juexin's body, and a suppressed roar came out of her throat. Shen Juexin became angry after being smashed like this, so she quarreled with Jian Qianyuan. The two of you were arguing with each other, and in the end Shen Juexin was arguing and almost vomited again in front of Jian Qianyuan.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the others quickly pulled the two of them away.

Jian Qianyuan's mood was still very irritable, and she scratched a few blood marks on the puller's hand. In desperation, everyone had to find something casually, tied her up, and asked Shen Juexin to leave the restaurant quickly.

"Forget it, you also know that her friend just died. She is a girl, so don't bother with her." Everyone persuaded Shen Juexin to calm down.

"She's just inexplicable." Shen Juexin said aggrievedly, "It's not that I want to vomit, and how can she eat that fish..."

Everyone was silent, but what Shen Juexin said actually made some sense. The taste of this fish is not for people to eat. The taste of the meat is powdery, and it breaks when you sip it. No salt is added. It seems that it has been left for a long time. A few days ago, Jian Qianyuan herself complained about the fish, but she didn't expect to eat it with relish today, and even ate the fish head together, and the mood of the people next to her was much more complicated.

At this moment, Jian Qianyuan was tied to a chair, and her emotions finally calmed down. She said, "Let me go, I won't quarrel with him again."

"Qianyuan, calm down, we know you are sad." Someone was still persuading, "You have to be strong."

Jian Qianyuan didn't speak, just nodded.

Someone else loosened the rope for her and let her down. They thought that Jian Qianyuan would leave after she was released, but they didn't want her to sit in front of the table again and continue to eat that disgusting fish.

When everyone saw this scene, their expressions became ugly.

Gu Longming couldn't hold back, and asked in a low voice, "Is it delicious?"

Jian Qianyuan glanced at him and said coldly, "What if it's not delicious, do you have anything else to give me?"

Gu Longming: "..."

Although she got such an answer, she was clearly enjoying Jian Qianyuan's eating. She seemed to think that the fishy fish in her mouth was particularly delicious. There was no pause in her movements, and she kept stuffing dead fish into her mouth.

Faced with such a situation, everyone left the restaurant tacitly and walked outside, obviously feeling a little disgusted. If you continue to watch it, I am afraid that some people will not be able to hold on and spit it out like Shen Juexin. When Jian Qianyuan saw it, I'm afraid it would be another mess.

"How can she eat it?" Gu Longming said with a livid face.

"Do you think Jian Qianyuan lied?" Ruan Nanzhu suddenly said.

"What?" Gu Longming was taken aback.

"You mean what happened last night, what did Jian Qianyuan hide?" After Lin Qiushi said this, he glanced in the direction of the restaurant.
