Chapter 18: Escaping the Ghost Ship (V) (2/2)
Although he didn’t understand why the other had to express it twice, Luo Jian decided to ask it oncehis question He pulled out the key that he’d suffered soto retrieve it froht, politely inquiring again, “Then do you knohich door this key fits into?”
The fe tiht she wouldn’t speak again, but just at that moment, she revealed, “This is my husband’s key—it is only he who knohich door that key unlocks”
Once the dead wo Yu Lan glanced at each other, gri Dread marked their faces Their hearts were filled with an inexplicable sense of horror They were utterly appalled Wasn’t this woman’s husband dead from the start? It couldn’t be that they had to run back up to the deck and question the corpse that was laying on the deck?
All of a sudden, an abysmal conjecture popped into Luo Jian’s ht that he probed the deceased lady for ain, Mrs Julia, is your husband still alive?”
Julia…this dead lady suddenly burst into ghastly cackles Her jaw chattered, a harsh noise cagles reverberated throughout the room; the more they listened, the more it seeped deeper into the two’s bones, and it soon overwhele, his whole back was tense Feng Yu Lan pathetically draped his entire body over Luo Jian’s and clung to him in a ridiculous manner But immediately after, they heard the dead woman’s reply
“My husband? Of course he’s still alive He was the one who hung me up here” This answer left Luo Jian even ot hison the deck your husband?!”
“You mean that pitiful chap as shoved inside the box on deck? Oh…Of course not He’s simply a pathetic stoay He was ht that my husband was the one cra? Did I guess wrong fro?! Luo Jian was unnerved; his mind was overcome by extreme panic, and his heart was in a fluster Distressed, he whipped out the English journal and the cross pendant froently demanded, “What about these? Aren’t these your husband’s?!”
The woroaned with every hter, her jaw rattled She heartily rasped, “Those are all his, yes! But they’re all things he willingly discarded! He gave up on himself and decided to take another person’s face, to live their life!”
“Then, can I ask you?” Luo Jian was dripping cold sweat from head to toe His face turned ashen By now, he was at his wits’ end “Where exactly is your husband right now?”
The dead wo in an instant Those dark holes on her skull gazed straight at Luo Jian “My husband…he is directly behind you right now”
This one sentence caused Luo Jian and Feng Yu Lan to reflexively swivel around and look back Behind the, the door had cracked open at soly slowly, opened by itself…
Standing outside the dooras aYu Lan were very familiar with It was precisely that Stalker
The stunning man narrowed his beautiful crimson eyes A faint smile played on his lips, and this s him appear even more attractive He wore the same clothes that he had on when Luo Jian first encountered him, a black military uniform, which seemed rather out-of-place in this environripped at a tactical knife The style of this dagger was exactly the same as that of Luo Jian’s
Luo Jian stu Yu Lan also folloith a step backwards But they couldn’t retreat Right behind the dead wo body swayed back and forth along with her fluttering dress; the dust covering her gown scattered all around, falling to the floor
“ThisYe Lan, and he autolish to the wo continuously; she finally ive a reply between her shrill cackles, “Oh—I don’t know either! He looks quite different from my husband! But he truly is my husband!”
“What do youYu Lan in a state of bewilderuy’s not her husband However, he is playing the role of this wo a role?”
“Stalkers will play the role of certain characters in the chamber and will appear in front of the players” Luo Jian repeated the boss’ sentence to Feng Yu Lan He clenched his teeth, raised his weapon, and stood face-to-face with thehim head on
“What’s a Stalker?”
“A person who’ll keep hunting us in order to kill us in the cha Yu Lan aside He stressed his words
“Ah Lan, stand far away! When you find the chance, then run! Just leaveYu Lan wanted to say soain, interrupted hiet him to tell us where the ‘door’ is, but you absolutely cannot stay here! You can’t deal with him! If there’re any accidents, then I wouldn’t be able to take care of you!”
Feng Yu Lan wasn’t an indecisive person He understood the gravity of the current situation, and so he eventually conceded, “Fine, I’ll leave But Luo Jian, you must catch up to me! I won’t wait for you in the same place for ever!”
Luo Jian nodded and warned, “Ah Lan, thereabout outside You have to be careful nois to live”
The Stalker who stood in front impatiently watched his prey chat with the other He finally lifted his foot and strode towards Luo Jian He seeained a lot of interest in Luo Jian Those scarlet eyes unwaveringly stared at Luo Jian; his eyes shi+ned bright Luo Jian treht He rounded the woman’s corpse and took a couple of sradually approaching him
Luo Jian drew out the knife strapped across his chest He e and suddenly thrusted his knife in the Stalker’s direction At the sa this order, Feng Yu Lan instantly turned on his heels and al out of the room!
