Chapter 129 - Play (1/2)

Su Min really felt that it seemed to be the case.

Because of his previous experiences, even his basic understanding of ghosts had changed. This skeleton could also be considered a ghost.

If it was trying to express intimacy, hugging was indeed one of the options.

It was just that the skeleto remained in place like a statue. It was as if Qin Mu Yin’s words earlier were a lie.

Perhaps it was because he also felt that way. Qin Mu Yin ran over and said while staring warily at the skeleton: “I really saw it move just now!”

But when Su Min looked back, it suddenly froze.

Su Min said silently: “I know.”

It had changed its posture so how could it have not moved?

Qin Mu Yin was a little scared, “Do you think it’s dead? Why can it still move? Could it be a battery powered toy?”

Earlier he had thought that it was a specimen but seeing that it could move, it no longer felt like a proper explanation.

Although Qin Mu Yin still believed in science, everything that had happened on this ship was something he didn’t expect.

It could even be said that his worldviews were subverted.

Su Min again walked around the skeleton. In fact, it was no different from before apart from the change in posture and the slightly more torn clothes.

According to his speculations, it had probably been here for at least a year.

During that year, why didn’t that group of people deal with it?

Su Min felt that it must have something to do with the captain. If not, it wouldn’t have been locked up in here.

If he didn’t have the ability to pick locks, they definitely would not have found out about this.

Su Min pinched his nose and said: “Let’s see if there are any other skeletons like this.”

Qin Mu Yin frowned, “We’re still going to continue? We can’t see anything though. It’s completely dark.”

Su Min said: “They don’t look like specimens. Don’t you think it’s important finding out why they’re in this place?”

Hearing him say that, Qin Mu Yin internally agreed.

He had read some graverobbing novels before. There would always be strange things happening. That skeleton looked like it had probably come from one of those novels.

And he had personally seen that thing move.

Just the thought of it made Qin Mu Yin tremble in fear.

But when he saw Su Min acting so calmly, he almost thought everything that he saw earlier was just an illusion.

Are all top students so calm these days?

Qin Mu Yin scratched his head and couldn’t understand this. When he heard Su Min’s words, he still obediently followed it and started to search the room.

This place was like a funnel. The entrance they entered from was like the tip while the inside is the actual open space which spreads out to both sides.

He and Su Min separated, and each took a side.

Su Min went to the right. There were various miscellaneous items scattered across the floor so he had to carefully step over them.

The further he went, the more intense the smell became. It made him suspect that they may be more of the skeletons inside.

At this moment, Su Min felt something.

There were no lights or windows here so no matter how good his night vision was, he still couldn’t see much.

The thing he touched felt a lot like the sensation he got when he touched the skeleton earlier.

Su Min wondered if he had reached the end. Afterall, no matter how large this ship is, the space down here couldn’t be that big. He had walked several metres himself so if he added it up on both sides, it would have already been more than ten metres.

For a cruise ship, it was wide enough.

When Su Min reached out to touch it again, his hands made contact with a pair of cold hands.

He spoke with annoyance: “Chen Su, stop disturbing me.”

Only Chen Su would do something like that in this situation.

Chen Su rubbed his hand and asked unhappily: “What’s so good about touching a skeleton? Does it feel better than me?”

Su Min thought about it for a moment. He asked: “Are you sure……..you want to compare yourself with a skeleton?”

Chen Su internally felt that he was right.

He sighed and went over to Su Min. He then said: “There are two skeletons in front of you. Both are looking at you.”

If you heard these words normally, it sounded like words from a horror movie.

However, Su Min had already mentally prepared himself, so he was okay. In any case, he couldn’t see them looking at him.

The skeletonn’s eyes were also almost gone. Even if they looked at him, he wouldn’t be able to tell so it didn’t matter.

Two skeletons were a rather small number.

Su Min even suspected that the skeleton was probably of someone who was originally on the ship, or of someone they had rescued.

Both scenarios were possible.

But the former was more likely. According to the legend mentioned by Mu Yuan, this ship should be more than ten years old. The number of people who have encountered storms at sea since then would be more than just this.

Even if it was a couple a year, it would be a lot over 10+ years. How could there only be a few skeletons?

But there was another thing he couldn’t figure out.

If everyone was assigned a rescued person each, then it would have been replaced many times over the past 10+ years. Two just seemed too few.

In any case, two just didn’t seem right.

Su Min for a moment felt that things had become more troublesome.

He asked loudly: “Qin Mu Yin, did you find anything over there?”

Qin Mu Yin replied: “Yes. I found a lot of them. I can’t tell exactly how many there are, but there are a lot.”

He replied exaggeratedly.

Su Min: “………..”

Chen Su tapped Su Min’s nose and held back his laughter, “There’s actually only three on his end.”

Su Min: “………”

Three skeletons were described by Qin Mu Yin as ‘a lot’. This protagonist may not be very good at math.

Then there was a total of six here.

The six skeletons were still fewer than the number of people on board.

Su Min suddenly realised this.
