Chapter 390 Humidity
Conquer the sea, the White Pearl.
Under the dark night sky covered with dark clouds, a huge ship was slowly sailing towards an unknown distance. The steel hull cut through the waves, dragging a long white trail.
In a luxurious cabin, Dorothy was sitting alone on a soft white bed. In front of her was a large world map. At this moment, Dorothy was looking at the map with a slightly frown on her face.
Since there was a lot of boring time on the ship, in order to entertain herself, Dorothy began to try to find something to do. In this era without satellite positioning, she tried to calculate the approximate position of the White Pearl on the map only by calculation, but the result surprised her a little.
'According to the itinerary of the White Pearl, it should have departed from the port of Basel in the northwest of Ferrara, sailed west and then south, bypassed Cape Vista in the peninsula country of Castile and entered the Sea of Conquest, then sailed eastward along Ivigli.
"According to the average speed of the White Pearl, two full days have passed. It should have completely bypassed Cape Prospect and entered the Conquest Sea. After entering the Conquest Sea, the ship should have headed east to Ivig, instead of continuing south."
Dorothy sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking hard. Although it was pitch black outside the window and no stars or moon could be seen, making it difficult to find beacons to determine the direction, Dorothy was still very sure that the White Pearl was now heading south, not east as it theoretically was, by virtue of her sensitivity to the planet's magnetic field.
"interesting……"
After thinking about this question, Dorothy couldn't help touching her chin and muttering. Then she began to seriously think about the cause of this problem.
'The current course of the White Pearl is not consistent with my calculations... There may be three reasons. First, my calculations are wrong. Second, the ship is not traveling at its normal cruising speed, but is sailing even slower, so that the entire ship is still sailing south to the west of Castile and has not yet passed Cape Overlook and entered the Conquest Sea. Third, the ship has deviated from the preset route without knowing it.'
Dorothy listed three possibilities in her mind. Out of confidence in her own calculation ability, she checked it in her mind and rejected the first one. There were two points left: the speed was too slow or the course deviated.
These two points are problems of the crew, so Dorothy now wants to investigate what is going on.
Having made up her mind, Dorothy put on her shoes and walked from the bed to the carpet of the cabin. Then she opened the cabin door and walked outside. After walking around the cabin, she came to an empty corner. Then, Dorothy took out the magic box from her body, put it on the ground, opened it, and used her ability to control the things inside.
After a while, countless small corpses such as spiders, geckos, mice, mosquitoes, etc. flew out of the magic box one after another, and under Dorothy's control, they spread in all directions.
After releasing countless small zombies for reconnaissance, Dorothy returned to her cabin, closed the cabin door, sat on the sofa in the cabin, and began to use the small zombies to conduct reconnaissance and monitoring of the entire White Pearl.
Under Dorothy's control, her small corpse puppets used the ventilation ducts to monitor the entire ship. Using the senses of various small corpse puppets, Dorothy saw the scenes everywhere on the ship. The band in the ballroom was still playing melodious music, and men and women were still dancing on the wide field. There were many gambling games going on in the casino at the same time, and some gamblers were so angry that they even shouted without caring about their image. The waiters were still running around, meeting the various needs of the guests. In some secluded corners, there were gorgeously dressed ladies carrying their husbands and dancing with young and handsome boys in a low voice.
Various scenes in the White Pearl were reflected in Dorothy's mind. Dorothy did not pay attention to other things, but let many small corpses infiltrate the cockpit to see the situation there.
After spending some time figuring out the general structure of the ship's ventilation system, Dorothy quickly found the way to the cockpit. She controlled the small corpse puppet to follow the ventilation duct all the way into the cockpit, and then observed the situation in the cabin through the vent.
At this moment, there were three or four sailors in the cockpit. They did not do much operation, but rested in the cockpit and guarded the port. The rudder was in a fixed state, and no one was operating it at this moment.
Using the vents in the cockpit, Dorothy observed the situation inside the cockpit. She found that the sailors in the cockpit were very silent and didn't talk much. If they did, they were just some irrelevant complaints without any substantial content. However, Dorothy didn't get anxious about it. Instead, she continued to wait patiently. Finally, after more than half an hour, she heard a useful piece of information. A sailor looked at the dark sea outside the window and couldn't help but speak.
"Is Hangyou okay? Don't let Mr. Costa scold you again."
"It's okay, Mr. Costa just came to check and we are heading correctly now." Another sailor answered, while the sailor who asked the question earlier spoke unexpectedly.
"Has Mr. Costa been here? When? Where is he now?"
"He came to the cockpit more than an hour ago. Now, he should be back in the captain's cabin."
"oh…"
After a brief exchange, the cockpit fell into silence again. Dorothy, who was in her cabin, could not help but nod and think in her heart after hearing these words.
"Costa? Isn't that the name of the captain of the White Pearl? So the one who set the course to this point is... the captain of this ship?"
After listening to the conversation of the sailors, Dorothy realized where the main problem lay, so she immediately began to look for the captain's cabin of the ship.
Fortunately, there was a detailed overhead cross-sectional view of the entire ship on the wall of the cockpit. Based on this drawing, Dorothy quickly determined the location of the captain's cabin. She then controlled the small corpse puppet to quickly set off from the captain's cabin through the ventilation duct of the ventilation system.
The captain's cabin was not far from the cockpit, both were in the superstructure above the deck. It didn't take long for Dorothy to find the ventilation duct leading to the captain's cabin, and she controlled the small corpse to move along the ventilation duct all the way to the captain's cabin.
However, when Dorothy's little corpses approached the captain's cabin, she found something unusual.
After Dorothy was promoted to Cretaceous, the range of the sizes of the puppets she could manipulate was significantly expanded. Dorothy was now able to control puppets as small as mosquitoes. Among the puppets she placed in the ventilation duct close to the captain's cabin, there was such a miniature mosquito puppet, and it was in the leading position.
As Dorothy's mosquito puppet got closer and closer to the captain's cabin in the ventilation duct, she also felt something abnormal on the mosquito puppet's body. To put it simply, the mosquito puppet's wings were getting bigger and bigger.
Yes, with Dorothy's extremely delicate perception, she found that the wings of the mosquito corpse began to change slightly. After noticing this abnormality, she immediately looked for the cause. Then, she noticed that a layer of fine water droplets began to accumulate on the mosquito corpse's thin membrane wings.
"The humidity here is higher than other places..."
After noticing the abnormality of the mosquito puppet, Dorothy immediately stopped all the puppets that were still moving the captain's cabin and waited to see what would happen. Dorothy used a spider puppet that was outside the ventilation duct and crawled on the wall of the cabin corridor to look at the captain's cabin in the distance, staring closely at the locked cabin door in the distance. After staring for a while and seeing no movement, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
