Chapter 51: The Skeleton Table

I looked at the glow stick that Zhao Qi held up in his hand, and then looked at the darkness all around, this light stick was the only light source at the moment!
"You don't want to ask me questions now, do you?" Under the fluorescence, Zhao Qi looked at me with a smile.
I shook my head, "Let's go!" โ
The doubts in my mind have really accumulated like a mountain, but the current situation is that it is better to catch the spark-like aura and move forward than to stop thinking.
Compared with my doubts about Zhao Qi, I am a little more worried.
The blind man and Ji Yayun are not careless people, and Dou Dabao is also coarse and fine, how can he ignore a point - when they leave, there is no ready-made light source in the hands of Zhao Qi and me?
It can only be said that the moment the puppet laughter stopped, we all thought that we had escaped the strange psychedelia, but the truth is, we may not have come out of the dreamlike psychedelia!
"Do you have any lighting on you?" Zhao Qi asked as he walked forward with a glow stick.
I pulled open my backpack with my backhand and took out a glow stick and stuck it into my waist, "And the one you gave me earlier." โ
"That's okay, I finally have a fight."
Zhao Qi nodded, stopped in front of a door, and looked back at me.
I reached out and touched the scratch mark next to the sign, and even bent my nails, gently scratched down the track, and nodded to him: "This is the room." โ
A trace of doubt flashed in Zhao Qi's eyes, but just like before, the strange look always passed in an instant, replaced by decisiveness.
He raised his hand and pushed the door, but he couldn't push it open, and immediately raised his foot and kicked it hard.
"Bang...... Bang...... Bang......"
The walls and floors trembled all around, but the doors couldn't be kicked open.
Perhaps it was his sudden fury that triggered the emotions I was trying to suppress. I looked left and right, and saw a small wooden door diagonally opposite, and I went up and kicked it to pieces.
At first glance, it turned out to be a primitive compartment for storing fire rescue tools.
I grabbed a fire axe, turned around, and slashed at the door.
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang, and a hole was cut through the wooden door by an axe.
Zhao Qi slowly took two steps back, squinted at me, and unconsciously wiped a handful on his head.
After several axes in a row, a large hole was cut out of the door.
I wanted to cut again, but I was grabbed by Zhao Qi.
"Alright, save a little effort and you will have one more chance of survival!" He shook me off, leaned into the hole where the axe had split, and looked in with the fluorescent gaze.
"Give me the axe!" His shoulders shrugged visibly, and he reached back without looking back.
I gasped and shoved the axe into his hand.
He took the glow stick in his mouth, raised the nearly one-meter-long fire axe with both hands, and continued the front end through the hole.
The head of the axe drooped, and he gripped the handle of the axe in both hands, and his head was bruised, and he let out a low "ah" roar from his throat.
There was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from behind the door, and judging by the sound, it must have been that he smashed the thing against the door with an axe in a difficult position.
It was already difficult to exert force, so instead of pulling the axe back, he let go of his hand and let it fall behind the door.
Just as the axe hit the ground and made a "bang" sound, the glow stick in his mouth suddenly went out.
"Bang...... Bang! โ
With the sound of two door panels hitting hard objects, Zhao Qi whispered in the dark: "Hurry up and get on the bright son!" โ
I hurriedly pulled the glow stick from my waist and broke it hard.
When the light rose again, Zhao Qi raised his foot and kicked the door again.
With each kick, the door opened a little.
When the door was kicked open less than half of the way, Zhao Qi stopped moving.
And I was behind him, and I was completely stunned when I could see the inside of the door through the fluorescent light.
As seen in the dream, the small cabin had only one round table, except for the two sofas against the wall.
The first thing that caught my eye was the four skulls on the table. Those were the four 'bowling balls' I touched in the utter darkness of my dreams.
And on the table in the middle of these four 'bowling', there is a deck of old playing cards scattered around.
Near each skeleton, there was a pair of skeletons skewed in the chair next to the table.
It does look weird, but it's not hard to think of a picture.
Moments before the ship sank, four people were playing poker in this room.
But the ship is about to sink, why are these gamblers still sitting at the table?
Did they get carried away from the gamble, find no sign of the shipwreck, and finally indulge in it and die at the gambling table?
Zhao Qi took two steps back, turned his head, his expression was a little strange, but he quickly returned to normal, and asked me, "That is the person you are looking for?" โ
I was stunned, glanced at him, didn't ask much, walked up with a glow stick, hesitated a little, threw the glow stick into the door, and at the same time kicked the hatch wide open with all my might.
I finally got a good view of the cabin, but I froze again.
There were not only four gamblers at the round table, but also a fifth.
It's just that this fifth person who participated in the gambling was covered by the door frame just now, and I didn't see it.
At this time, I could clearly see that on the covered chair, there was a woman wearing a white T-shirt and black jeans.
Although the woman's dress was still quite youthful, her side face looked like she was nearly forty or fifty years old.
The woman sat stiffly at the table, still holding a few open pokers in her right hand, but the person did not move.
I swallowed my saliva vigorously, took two steps forward with a vague step, and muttered, "Xu...... Xu Jie ......"
The woman at the table didn't respond, but I saw it real.
Although her appearance is different from the Xu Jie I am familiar with, I have seen this face that is close to old age.
That time was in the old turtle mountain...... In the ice......
She is Xu Jie!
Didn't she drink chicken blood? Or has the live chicken blood lost its effect? She actually turned into this decay again......
"Xu Jie!" I shouted again, couldn't hold it anymore, and wanted to run forward.
Zhao Qi suddenly grabbed my back collar.
"What are you doing?" I said angrily.
"You still don't see anything wrong?" Zhao Qi said sharply: "Let me ask you, when you came here in a dream, what is the difference between the situation you see and here?" โ
I was stunned.
What's the difference?
There is almost no difference between what you see here and what you see in your dreams, except for the addition of 'middle-aged Xu Jie'!
Zhao Qi roughly dragged me back to him, and whispered quickly in my ear:
"If you think about it, there's definitely something different. Don't be rash, or not only will the person you're looking for never see the light of day, you'll die here! โ
I looked around, looked back at him, and squatted down with my head in my hands.
I didn't completely lose my mind, on the contrary, I always had a kind of confusion that I couldn't find the key.
But even if I rack my brains, I really can't imagine, what is the key? What makes us have this series of strange experiences that seem like dreams and dreams, and dreams within dreams!
Zhao Qi was standing right behind me, snorting heavily, and seemed to be in a state of extreme confusion, unable to determine his next move.
My brain is more confused......
At this moment, a child's laughter suddenly sounded in the cabin:
"Giggles...... Giggle ......"
