C21 (1/2)

The sea was standing in the lower half of the ladder, just over half a meter above the hold, and as he climbed up in his panic, I saw a corner of the hold beneath the ladder in the confusion of the flashlight.

However, with just that single glance, a layer of cold sweat covered my body. On the wooden board directly beneath the ladder, a head slightly lifted, and eyes the size of soybeans stared straight at us on the ladder. I could see that those eyes were filled with hatred, resentment, and I could even see my eyeballs rolling for a moment!

Since I was standing on the top of the sea and the bottom of the ladder was a dead angle, I could only see a corner. I couldn't see the body of the human head, but my eyes could move, which was enough to prove that the person below was alive!

In that instant, I felt my scalp tingle. I didn't dare to look at it too much, so I could only turn around and climb up the ladder. It was too scary.

It was impossible for a person to live that long, and it was even on the Ancient Ship s of Wild Mountain. The only explanation was that this person was not human!

When I was on my hands and knees, the wooden steps creaked, and the sea urged me on from behind. The sound was terrified, and just as I was about to climb out of the hole, I suddenly saw a pair of feet above the exit!

In that instant, I was stunned. We have already searched for the Ancient Ship's upper echelons, and we have not even seen the person.

Before I could think it through, the two feet moved a few steps, and then the roof of the hole slammed down with a clang, sealing off the entrance. The entire hold became pitch black, and during the whole process, I didn't even see what the owner of the feet looked like, I only knew that they were a pair of shoes filled with yellow mud!

Bang!

I raised it with my hand, but the flip was still, apparently crushed to death, unable to open it. This completely cut off our retreat, wanting to trap me and the sea at the bottom of the ship.

The sea was under the ladder and I couldn't see what was going on above. Seeing that I wasn't moving, I hurriedly urged her. I carefully moved away from half of my body and said, ”Look for yourself. We were tricked. The exit was flipped over and locked!”

Hai Yang was stunned. She turned around and carefully looked at the bottom of the ladder. Seeing that the head hadn't caught up, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, ”Where did the person come from? I've searched them all, but there's no one. Could it be the monsters on the shore?”

I gritted my teeth and said, ”I could see them clearly. They were wearing shoes, but the beastmen didn't wear shoes. They must be other people!”

Hai Yang didn't believe me. He went up two flights of stairs and then reached out to push. He didn't move a muscle. He put the flashlight in his mouth and pushed it with both hands, but it still didn't work. My face immediately darkened, and I was filled with anger.

After all, the Ancient Ship are in the center of the lake and there are beastmen guarding the shore. It is basically impossible for anyone to come here, but we did not expect that we would be deceived, and did not even know who was deceiving us.

This guy was probably on the boat before we got on board, and when we got on he went into the water to hide, and then locked the flip while I was following the sea down to the hold.

Too f * cking sinister!

”Give me the gun, I'll blow the crap out of you!”

I subconsciously reached for my backpack, but when I did so, I found nothing. It was only then that I remembered that our backpacks were all placed on top of the backpacks, and since there was no one on top of them, we didn't bring them down.

After I explained the situation, I leaned against the sea and slapped my forehead. ”I've been set up by someone this time!”

Then he used his dagger to pry at the board, but the cover was so strong that it could not be lifted, and he gave it a good deal of pushing, but it was still immobile, so to speak, and if no one was up there helping to open it, we might be trapped under the cabin.

I stopped Hai Yang and said, ”We can't get out from above. Are there any exits down there?”

Hai Yang hastily waved her hand. ”Forget it. There isn't even a f * cking place for us to move around on top of the ladder. If we really go down and bring the things underneath the ladder up, we're done for.”

”Then what should we do? ”How long are you going to stay standing here?”

After saying that, I turned away from the sea, wanting to see if the guy below the ladder was a human or a ghost. After staying on the ladder for so long, both of us should be aware of our existence, but the bottom of the ladder was deathly still without any movement.

With that in mind, I lowered my head and shone the flashlight down, but the angle wasn't good enough, so I went down two more flights of stairs and could just make out the bottom of the hold.

My first thought was to look at the head at the bottom of the ladder, and as I moved the flashlight toward it, I thought about Amitabha, hoping that it was gone, but then I realized something was wrong. If it was gone, it was even worse.
