Chapter 924 Are You Devils?
From their perspective, they boarded the ship for a living, and their lives and fortunes were tied to Old Wang. It was perfectly reasonable for them to help him catch the two young men who wanted to escape.
From the perspective of the two victims, they did not beg these complete strangers for help, but at the very least, they should not have informed on them.
By betraying him, they became Old Wang's accomplices.
They were already doing things against the rules and etiquette, and Tong Kaibin and his companion were innocent victims. Old Wang was doing evil, and they were aiding and abetting the evildoer.
Now, the cause and effect have brought everyone to the brink of death, trapping everyone inside that room, with only two victims able to escape.
"Where's that girl? Why isn't she with you...?"
"She was locked inside."
"Locked inside?" Ye Wanxi turned and exchanged a glance with Feng Tianyu. "Then how did you escape?"
“I don’t know either.” Tong Kaibin struggled for a long time but couldn’t break a single thread. He gave up and said, “That night, everyone died. I tried to drift away, thinking that since we were all dead, I should at least leave this ship and see if I could drift back and see if that bastard Qiu Yanwen was particularly smug after killing me.”
"As soon as I floated out into the corridor, I saw a man in a black cloak silently walk up to the room. He didn't even use a key; he just tapped the lock on the door, and the door that we twenty-odd people couldn't open with all our might suddenly opened."
Upon hearing the word "black cloak," Ye Wanxi and the other person's expressions changed.
"What did that man do?"
"He only glanced at the corpses in the room, then threw something black into it."
"What is that?"
"I didn't see it clearly. I was far away at the time, and he gave me a very dangerous feeling, so I didn't dare to get close at all. After that thing was thrown into the house, the ghosts in the house instantly changed their appearance. I don't know how to describe it. Everyone had already died a terrible death, and after that thing was thrown in, the whole house became gloomy. The spirits were also like they had mutated, with black smoke coming out of their bodies. They looked even scarier than me."
Listening to his description and looking at his eerie appearance, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
Especially Old Wang and the crew members behind him, they had witnessed the terrible state of the room with their own eyes, and some of them had nightmares about it for several days.
Hearing Tong Kaibin say this now, and thinking about how they had been on the boat every day for the past two weeks, with those horrible filth floating very close to them, made them feel even colder and their hearts race.
"What about the girl who ran away with you before? Have you noticed how she is doing?"
"Yes, that man, for some reason, deliberately used a thin black chain to lock her up, making her look even scarier than the others."
Ye Wanxi's heart skipped a beat: "I understand, it's the key to the formation! He's using that girl as the key to the formation!"
Upon hearing this, Captain Liu and the others hurriedly asked, "What array core?"
"The deaths of these people on the ship may have truly been accidents, but they were exploited after their deaths. Their corpses and that room were used to set up a Yin-type ghost array. That girl... although she was a victim, women are inherently Yin, and she was very likely born on an Yin day, Yin hour, and Yin month. Coupled with her misfortune, she must have harbored resentment. She harbored resentment towards those people from Gaomi, towards the people on this ship, and towards those who harmed her. By using resentment to create evil, the ghost array could be activated."
Upon hearing her words, Captain Liu's eyes widened in shock, and he swallowed hard: "What will happen when this ghost formation is activated?"
"The resentment is surging and condensing into evil spirits, which can only be quelled by bloodshed! Once they become Yin evil spirits, they can use the ghost array as the center point to break out of the house, kill people and take lives to strengthen themselves. You should take people to evacuate the crowd as soon as possible and block all roads in the vicinity to prevent anyone from coming here again."
"I'll arrange it right away, then you..."
“We’ve already boarded the ship. The ghost formation is complete. If we don’t remove it, it’s a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment. We can’t leave it here.”
"Well..." Captain Liu couldn't bring himself to go in and help. Apart from the few young people from the special departments behind him, the rest were just ordinary people like him.
If Ye Wanxi and her companion can't handle the situation inside, they can still escape. But if they bring them along, they might end up having to rescue them instead, which would only cause more trouble.
"Then be careful, safety first."
"Um."
The crew members of the other ships around were just there to watch the show, but when they realized that the melon was a bit dangerous and that they might chip their teeth if they ate it, they retreated on their own without Captain Liu having to explain further!
Old Wang and his group also tried to run away, but they were caught by several groups of people who had been waiting around them.
Tong Kaibin failed to avenge himself, but what awaits them next is an even more severe trial.
The situation regarding Tong Kaibin is still unclear, and even Captain Liu and the others don't know how to handle it.
The Fifth Uncle who had led them was just an ordinary person, and it was too dangerous for him to follow them into the cabin, so Ye Wanxi and the other person simply let him go back with Captain Liu.
Then pull Tong Kaibin back onto the boat and have him lead the way.
Tong Kaibin, being led around like a little kite by the two of them: "..."
I never imagined that someone who was a corporate slave in life would have to work even after death. Are you guys devils?!
The ship that Lao Wang manages is quite large, with three decks. The boarding area is on the second deck, and there is another deck above it, which includes the captain's cabin and the lookout tower.
The two floors below were houses and some warehouses used to store goods. The small room where they were locked up was located at the very bottom of the ship, on the third floor.
Ye Wanxi and her companion followed Tong Kaibin down the stairs to the third floor. As soon as they reached the end of the corridor, they felt a chilly breeze blowing across their necks.
Looking closely, the entire corridor was filled with black yin energy. It was estimated that if they hadn't come, in less than a few hours, this yin energy would have spread to the second floor, seeped into the crew's rooms, wrapped around them, and then unknowingly absorbed their life force as nourishment to further strengthen itself.
In just one day, the entire ship could be transformed into a living hell.
The yin energy on this ship will gradually overflow, like a colorless and odorless poison gas, and entangle other nearby ships.
Then, following the example of other ships, they absorbed the vitality of the crew members to further strengthen themselves.
Even if they come at that time, controlling the leakage of yin energy and locking it in this place will probably not be an easy task!
