Chapter 18: Escaping the Ghost shi+p (V)
The ti Yu Lan had sharp eyes so he iht on the lace of the dead woers touched the corner of the note, an abrupt noise resounded, startling them
Before they knew it, the door to this narrow room had slaradually—then, without warning, there was a treht, practically cemented to the wall It seeain
Both Luo Jian and Feng Yu Lan were shell-shocked by this unexpected change In this desolate rooroaned and slammed itself shut; it was unconditionally freakish to say the least Luo Jian tightened his brows and quickly walked over to the door to open it He tried turning the doorknob, only to discover he couldn’t open it no matter how hard he twisted the knob; it was secured shut This wooden door that was crafted out of a deep red material reminded Luo Jian of the door to the enclosed room in his very first chamber experience
“We’re trapped in”
Luo Jian declared this one sentence; he huffed in irritation and s sound echoed in this quiet rooht fro at the door, Luo Jian h, it’s as expected”
“What’s up? What’s as expected?”
“Watch…” Luo Jain pointed to the wooden door, took out his dagger, and then slashed at the door with his knife But soe happened Luo Jian clearly cut down on this door, which was shabby and fragile-looking, but not a single scratch or blade mark was left behind The as still suic!” Co Yu Lan darted over and leaned in curiously, his eyes filled with sparkles of interest He stretched his fingers, stroked the surface of the door, then exclaimed, “Luo Jian, how’d you do that?! It looked like such a powerful slash, but there aren’t any cuts in the end!”
Luo Jian was struck du ti a ic trick! Stunned speechless, Luo Jian just had to relentlessly knock his knuckles against on Ah Lan’s brainless skull He then placed his knife into the other’s hands and let hi Yu Lan wasn’t sure as to what he was supposed to do upon receiving this knife Gripping onto Luo Jian’s dagger, he hesitantly scratched lightly at the door since there was nothing else he could do; there weren’t any traces left on the wooden block Feng Yu Lan became irate at once He attacked the door in a violent frenzy
Confounded, he suddenly turned his head around andto leave yet?”
“Well, let azed at the wooden door and explained to Feng Yu Lan, “The chamber will always place some special items around—most commonly, items that ‘can never be destroyed no matter what’—like this door As a result, we can only co the key to this door or even killing the person who trapped us here!”
Feng Yu Lan grasped Luo Jian’s explanation quite easily He looked at the door, then looked back at the fe of this small room He pondered, “Maybe we can find sorabbed the note fro Yu Lan joined in, and together, they read the following text:
【Congratulations to our two brave adventurers!】
【If you are reading this e at present ti to an end Nevertheless, youunprecedented difficulties】
【Do you wish to know the exact location of ‘the final door’? Then confer with this charards, I wish you two the best of luck!】
Luo Jian promptly flipped the note over, and, naturally, there was a phrase written down on the back It was one blood-curdling sentence:
【My soul will never rest in peace – Julia】
This single phrase glared at Luo Jian, and he wasn’t able to resist rereading it aloud But reading it out loud the second ti; Luo Jian couldn’t help but quiver fro Yu Lan’s reaction was even worse He felt a piercing chill crawling up his spine, and, shi+veringto Luo Jian clothes and shrunk into Luo Jian’s back
“What should we do?” Feng Yu Lan glanced at the feet up and ferociously attack theht? Even so, it was a dead body! How on earth were they supposed to get answers on the whereabouts of the ‘door’ fro to the note! We’ll do whatever it said!” Luo Jian licked his dry lips, sed hard, and dragged Feng Yu Lan to stand in front of the dead woman They raised their heads and fixed their eyes on that woman’s face She was all bones, and the areas where her eyes should’ve been were dark as the abyss Luo Jian’s and Feng Yu Lan’s heartbeat pounded in their ears as they stared into those two endless black holes
This corpse was similar to that dead body that was in the box outside It had a few pieces of rotten flesh hanging fro Yu Lan couldn’t identify what it exactly sue then clulish
“Ehem…Mrs Julia? Can you tell me where…the exit to leave this shi+p is?”
Luo Jian’s question, naturally, wasn’t answered Feng Yu Lan thought this was perfectly normal After all, how could a corpse reply? Even if this dead body ended uplike the ones before, it was decomposed down to its very bones It had no throat and no vocal cords; it was impossible for it to speak!
However, Luo Jian persisted and unre his voice with every repeated sentence Feng Yu Lan thought it was strange to talk to a dead body, but he couldn’t help but gawk at the dead wo Yu Lan believed that they weren’t progressing enough, soe happened!
The female’s dead body suddenly twitched! She twisted her neck and slightly tilted her head to the side Her two dark eyes penetrated Luo Jian and Feng Yu Lan! Could you even iine how it felt when a skull shrewdly scrutinized you with its cold-as-death stare?! In any case, Luo Jian and Feng Yu Lan’s bodies instantly turned stiff; they were paralyzed by fear! Feng Yu Lan nearly screa was that the female corpse actually opened its hostly voice broke the oppressive silence Her voice was eerie, breathy, devoid of all e like the voice of a human
“This shi+p has no exit” The dead woman croaked, then repeated, “This shi+p has no exit”
