Deep in the Living

Chapter 314 Knock on the door
The Chamber of Commerce cruise ship is always fully enclosed during the voyage and no passengers are allowed to damage the windows.

Once destroyed, the isolation between the inside and the outside will be broken, and the miasma plague that permeates the sea will flow back in.

Passengers who cause destructive behavior will be permanently blacklisted by the Chamber of Commerce. In serious cases, they will be labeled criminals and sent to the execution room.

current.

The exterior of the cruise ship is decorated with a giant golden skull.

Rody and the other two were climbing the golden wall in different ways, crawling towards the upper level.

The biting sea breeze, carrying the final metabolites of the real hell, kept hitting them. The smell was several times stronger than that of the tumor people. Fortunately, everyone was prepared in advance, and Rody also put on the jaw splitter early.

Crawl quickly and away from the window.

However, their eyes were fixed on the window at the bottom, staring at the "ancestors" who might chase them out from inside at any time.

But there was no pursuit as expected, and even the knocking on the door seemed to have completely stopped.

"Wait a moment!"

Rody stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to just hang outside the hull.

Since the status of the ancestral invasion is currently unknown, rash travel to other areas of the ship may lead to greater danger.

Since there was no knocking sound in the room they were in, and nothing was chasing out, it was safe to assume that the ancestor had left. After all, there were thousands of passengers on the entire cruise ship, and the ancestor had other options for knocking on the door.

The three of them hung outside like this for a full ten minutes before trying to return to the guest room.

Rody walked in front, and his tongue would always react if there was any danger.

Moreover, the new skull covering the brain seemed to have a relevant mental amplification effect, allowing Rody to roughly perceive the situation inside the house.

After confirming that everything was correct, I crawled back to the guest room.

Rody's expression did not change even when he stepped on the broken glass with his bare feet.

Looking around the house,

He continued to wait for five minutes before he stretched out his hand to signal all his teammates hanging outside the window to return.

Kallain, who was the last one to return to his room, put his hand to the broken window, ready to repair it with the crystal in his body, when suddenly, snap!
Rody grabbed his hand and stopped this action.

“No need to repair it, just let the ocean smell back in, the more the better.

If our ancestors had been immersed in the sea for many years, they would have been accustomed to the smell. When they landed on the ship and came to a space without pungent smells, their sense of smell would become extremely sensitive.

Letting the smell in should have a certain confusing effect. Besides, we have just been hanging out outside for more than ten minutes, and we are somewhat stained with the smell of the sea."

"Ok."

Karen's eyes seemed to brighten as he looked at Rody.

As for Agatha, she did not participate in the conversation between the two.
She sat on the sofa near the window, pressed her fingers hard against her temples, rubbed them vigorously, and even inserted small steel tubes in between to help refresh herself.

It's not about torturing yourself, it's about reminiscing.

She recalled the records about her ancestors that she had seen in the library of the monastery, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not match them with what was happening now.

At least in the relevant books she had read, there was no mention of any ancestors knocking on the door. Moreover, the sound of knocking on the door alone could actually guide their thinking and put priority first in all their actions.

Agatha sighed helplessly, "We actually encountered the [Ancestors] on our first trip to the sea, and we were on a high-end cruise ship of the Chamber of Commerce, and I have never read about it in a book... What kind of bad luck is this."

Luo Di was not panicking at all. Instead, he used his clear mind to quickly analyze the situation in front of him:
"This ancestor who came to the ship may not be particularly irritable... We are definitely not the first one he has come after.

Our guest room is on the middle floor, and our ancestors must have knocked on half of the room before coming to knock on our door.

The ancestor stayed on the ship for such a long time, but the cruise ship was intact. Perhaps he only attacked the living people on the ship and would not sink the ship.

For now, we only need to think about how to hide until our ancestors leave.

Karen, do you have any ideas?"

Rody suddenly changed the subject, but Karen still looked indifferent. "Ah, Master Yan didn't talk to me in detail about the various ancestors. He just briefly said that no matter what kind of ancestor it is, it is very dangerous. If you encounter one, you should focus on staying alive and never try to confront it head-on."

Agatha also took over the conversation: "Generally speaking, once the remains of ancestors floating in the ocean hit a ship, they will start to wreak havoc, but this time it was unusually quiet. It is really strange, maybe it really won't cause the ship to sink. We just need to find a way to survive, or we will stay here, in this guest room that our ancestors have knocked on the door?
Maybe we just need to hide here and nothing will happen?"

"But there is a question... Is this door closed or not?"

Rody raised his arm and pointed to the fully open guest room door.

This is indeed a problem.

If you do not close the door, once the ancestor returns, he will capture the three people in the house directly. If you choose to close the door, the door that the ancestor has touched may have something left behind, or the action of "closing the door" may be sensed by the ancestor once it is triggered.

There are almost no clues at the moment, and it is impossible to tell whether the door is closed.

In the end, Luo Di chose the most primitive way, tossing a coin and leaving it to luck. Even if it really caused the ancestors to return, they still had the window behind them to go.

Ding!
A monk coin was tossed in the air.

Snapped!
Land steadily on the back of your hand.

Front, close the door!
This result meant that it was still necessary to decide who would close the door. However, this issue was not discussed, and Luo Di took the initiative to step forward. After all, this voyage was mainly related to him.

He walked slowly and silently towards the completely open gold-framed door.

Rody did not close the door with his hands. Instead, a real and virtual tentacle grew on the back of his hand and pushed it slowly.

The entire process took place without any noise, and even if there was any sound, it would be covered by the sound of the ocean outside the window.

click!
The door lock is closed.

Rody did not let his guard down. He retreated at the same pace, returned to the broken window, and reunited with the team.

He stared at the crack in the door and listened carefully to the sound.

As long as there is anything unusual, he and his teammates will escape immediately.

bang bang bang~
The sound of the heart pumping is clear and pleasant to the ears.

This kind of beating can also help with time.

One minute,

two minutes,
Five minutes passed.
There seemed to be no living creature approaching the door, and there was no knocking sound.

Everyone's tense mental state gradually eased.

Agatha slowly put her lips close to Rody's ear and whispered as quietly as possible: "Do you need me to reinforce the door with iron pillars? This way, even if the enemy comes, maybe we can buy more time."

“No… don’t make any unnecessary movements, keep everything normal, and make the door look like it was closed by the sea breeze.

As long as the cruise ship is still moving, we will wait like this. One day has passed so far, and we only need to wait another 30 hours to reach the shore, and then we will be alive. "

"Wait? Sure."

Under the high tension between Rody and Agatha,
As soon as Karen heard the word "wait", he began to feel sleepy and his throat was filled with sweat.

Rody also immediately reminded, "Kalen, if you want to sleep, just put yourself in the backpack and hang on my body like before."

"Ok."

At the same time, Rody also lifted up his clothes and looked at the crow hiding inside to make sure it was okay.

continue waiting,

Keep staring at the door.

There was still no movement of shadows, and still no living creature approached.

suddenly,
The tongue in Roddy's mouth suddenly moved, it didn't bounce, it just twitched.

He did not ignore this detail and whispered:
"Maybe something is coming... just maybe! If we catch any information, we will immediately..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Boom boom boom!
There was no shadow under the door, but there was a knock on the door.

Strangely enough,
This time the knock on the door was different from the last time, it was closer, clearer, and the sound of the knock was different.

The reason was very simple, because the door that was knocked was not the guest room door.

Luo Di also reacted immediately, and cold sweat quickly slid down his ears.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the closer glass door leading to the bathroom.

Through the incompletely closed frosted glass, one could vaguely see a strange outline sticking inside.

Because of this unexpected close knock on the door,

Everyone's thinking was affected, and they regarded "opening the door" as their unshakable top priority. It seemed as if the tongue in Rody's mouth was suppressed by something and could not be lifted up.
