After about five minutes, Batiwa and Senbo Heiji came to the side of the large cargo ship, found a rusty chain and climbed up.

Batiwa couldn't stand the wretched look of his teammates, so he climbed up first, followed by Moribo Heiji.

After climbing onto the deck, they used their hat lights to look around.

The deck of the freighter is similar to the hull, and the mottled rust is very obvious.

Under the illumination of the searchlight, the rusty metal surfaces glowed with a faint cold light.
Batiwa's gaze first fell on the countless boxes piled up on the freighter. They were some high, some low, and arranged in an orderly manner, but they were all covered with a thick layer of dust, appearing extremely heavy and depressing.

Moreover, some of the boxes had been pried open and were empty, without even a trace of any remaining goods.

All this made Batiwa feel an inexplicable chill running from the soles of his feet to his heart.

He really wanted to know what was in the box, but he didn't dare to pry it open, so he could only look for other opened boxes.

He moved carefully between the boxes, taking every step with extreme caution.

He knew very well that on this ghost freighter, any sound could bring unpredictable danger.

When Bativa accidentally touched a box, a cloud of fine dust fell instantly, scaring both of them and they quickly hid at the edge of the freighter.

It looked like he was about to jump down if he had a disagreement.

However, there were indeed no strange phenomena afterwards, and their reactions were too extreme.

After exploring for a few more minutes, Moriho Heiji pointed to where a box had been opened and said, "Look, there are shoe prints there, and it seems there are more than one."

Upon hearing this, Batiwa also came over to check. He found that the footprints were of different sizes and shapes, and some were even new and old.

But there is one thing in common: the shoe prints all point in the same direction, which is deep in the cabin.

Obviously, someone or some creature had been active on this ghost freighter.

"Has anyone been to this place before?"

The thought flashed through both of their minds at the same time.

But think about it, the ghost shipwreck cemetery is no secret, and basically everyone in this sea area knows about it.

Then there must be valuables on this cargo ship.

In this world, there is definitely no shortage of greedy people, and they will also come in to "hunt for treasure".

Just as they were thinking, an even stranger sound came from the cabin.

It was a "whimpering" sound, low and painful, like someone crying for help before dying.

The sound echoed in the silent and dim ghost freighter, sounding particularly harsh and terrifying.

The heartbeats of the two chosen ones instantly accelerated, and the sense of danger continued to stimulate their nerves.

After all, they are all people who have practiced martial arts and can feel the extraordinary aura inside.

But then again, aren’t dangerous places accompanied by certain rewards?

Perhaps if we can find the person who made the sound, we can find out what happened on the ship. If we are luckier, we may even be able to figure out what the crow is referring to.

Thinking of this, they looked at each other, then followed the shoe prints into the cabin.

Outside the big screen, the audiences from the Sakura Country and the White Elephant Country looked deathly pale.

It felt like watching the chosen one of your country die.

Because the Pope of the neighboring Ramen Country has already analyzed the pitfalls here.

A few minutes ago, the Pope and Ryan also arrived at this large cargo ship.

After seeing footprints and hearing noises in the same spot, Ryan asked if he wanted to go in and explore.

The Pope shook his head and said, "Look at the shoe prints on the ground, some new and some old, aren't they all facing inside the cabin?" Ryan nodded, that was right.

Seeing that Ryan still didn't understand, the Pope continued to explain: "We can boldly assume that when these people came to this place, they also saw footprints and heard sounds, and they all chose to explore inside. What was the result?"

With this hint, if Ryan is not a fool, he will have reacted.

He stared at the shoe prints intently and said, "I understand now. All of these shoe prints are heading inwards, and none of them are heading outwards. This means that these people cannot get out after entering. This is definitely a trap."

If there were normal people living here, the shoe prints shouldn't be in only one direction.

This is the intelligence of the world of ghost stories. If you pay close attention, you will find some clues.

Seeing that Ryan understood, the Pope nodded and continued to check other places.

The Pope's analysis immediately caused an uproar outside the big screen.

Many of the Chosen Ones only realize their fate after they have fallen into a trap. There are very few Chosen Ones like this who can guess the fate in advance.

Doesn't this just show that the Pope is becoming more and more familiar with the world of ghost stories?

This is also the reason why the audiences from the Sakura Country and the White Elephant Country looked so pale.

Now they can only hope for a miracle, or see if their country's chosen one can survive by selling out their teammates.

Even if I bear a bad reputation, it is better than having strange things happen to cities in my country after I die.

In the world of ghost stories, as Bativa and Senbo Heiji explore deeper, the scene inside the cabin becomes more eerie and terrifying.

Under the light of the searchlight, all kinds of strange shadows swayed on the wall, as if countless pairs of eyes were spying on him in secret.

No, it didn't seem to be an illusion, they really felt the presence of 'people' around them.

This passage is obviously spacious, but it always feels very 'crowded'.

Could these be the ghosts the rules refer to?
What are the ghosts doing around me? Are they going to attack us?
But if they were going to attack, why didn't they just attack directly?

Could it be that we are just worrying too much? They can't attack us.

That’s right, we didn’t break Rule 2, so even scary ghosts wouldn’t attack us.

Thinking of this, Batiwa and Senbo Heiji continued to move forward. They had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.

The further you go in, the more depressing the atmosphere becomes.

Even though the two people's footsteps were very light, they still made some noise when they stepped on the iron sheet.

The air was filled with a damp, moldy smell mixed with a faint smell of blood, which made people want to vomit.

At this moment, Batiwa suddenly felt a cold wind blowing, and the corner of his clothes was gently lifted.

He looked back suddenly, but found nothing.

But the feeling of being watched became stronger and stronger.

There is no other way. I have come this far and can only go on.

At this moment, the 'whimpering' sound sounded again, and he quickly locked a door in the cabin.

As long as we open this door, we will know what happened to the ship.

The two men looked at each other. This time, Batiwa glared at Senbao Heiji fiercely and asked Senbao Heiji to turn the door handle. Only by turning the door handle could the door be opened.

That look seemed to say: I have taken the initiative so many times, if you continue to play like this, then we might as well just wait to die.

Moriho Heiji had no choice but to muster up the courage to go forward and turn the door handle.

As soon as he touched it, Moriho Heiji felt something was wrong. The door handle was not made of metal, but more like bone, and human bone!
