Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 151 No Corpse
My movements froze there and it kind of drove me crazy.The black and yellow hair is okay, and it can be explained by coincidence.But those pale golden hairs are really rare, not to mention whether hair dyeing was popular during the Tang Dynasty in China, Elina's hair color is not very common even among Russians.I just stood there stiffly, not knowing what to do for a while.I'm not afraid of ghosts, but this kind of unexplainable thing is even more terrifying.

But we can’t just sit around like this, at least we haven’t encountered any real danger now, I persuade myself that I must be thinking too much, or it may be an illusion caused by the underwater environment.At the same time, he exerted force on his feet again, and this time, the wooden plank collapsed directly.I just felt a burst of black mist rushing up, and these hairs rushed out like a school of frightened fish.I stepped back subconsciously, and at the same time drew my diving dagger to prevent the sudden attack.

Just when I was paying attention to the black hair on my head, I was suddenly patted behind me.I trembled and turned to see Sun Fuyuan waving at me.I was taken aback, and spit out blisters a little angrily, and saw Sun Fuyuan desperately pointing in the direction we came in from behind.I looked in the direction he pointed and was also taken aback.I just saw that at some point, those hairs had gone around behind us.We had this hair all over our way in.For a while we were surrounded by dense hair.

I knew this was definitely not a good sign, so I turned around and wanted to rush out first.But the movement in the water was slow. When I rushed to the hair on the exit side, I realized that these hairs seemed to be braided together on purpose.Tightly woven into a net, blocked in front of us.Our retreat was thus blocked.I struck a few times with the diving dagger, although I cut off a lot of hair each time, but the hair grew fast, and the opening I cut was refilled in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, I was also a little panicked, and stopped in my hand.In just a few seconds, a large amount of hair began to gather from all directions.The three of us were forced together again, back to back and watching these hairs vigilantly.The strands of hair were like tentacles, quickly entangled us, and at the same time walked up and down as if trying to get into our bodies.However, our diving suits are all fully enclosed structures.The hair can only be knotted outside the diving suit, and there is no way to get in for a while.But being wrapped in such dense hair, the tactile sensation of feeling the hair through the diving suit is just crazy.Our oxygen is limited, and it is impossible to spend it dryly here.

At this time, I felt that Alina pushed me hard, and at the same time made a wrist-cutting motion.I immediately understood what she meant, she wanted me to try whether my blood would be useful for these things.My blood has a certain restraint effect on poison, but I don't know which category this hair-like thing should belong to.But there is no other way right now, so let's try it.Thinking of this, I want to cut my palm with a diving dagger.Who knew that Sun Fuyuan stopped me and pointed at the pressure gauge at the same time.I just remembered that we are still underwater at a depth of more than 100 meters.The outside of the diving suit is more than ten times the atmospheric pressure. If the diving suit leaks, the internal air pressure will change drastically.The oxygen used in deep diving is a special gas mixed with nitrogen. Because of the high pressure, nitrogen will dissolve in the blood.But once the pressure is reduced, the nitrogen will come out of the blood, forming a gas thrombus.It's equally deadly for divers.

At this moment, I had an idea and bit my lip hard.The mouth is connected to an external air valve, and the blood flowing out here will flow out with water.Sure enough, I saw a trace of reddish liquid coming out of my respirator.Dissipates in water like red smoke disappearing in air.At the same time, I can clearly feel that the hair in the whole space is obviously stagnant.The next moment, I saw the hair on the side of my respirator spread out like an electric shock.Their movements drove the water flow, and the blood was carried further away, like a chain reaction all at once.All the hair starts to disappear like the tide goes out.After a few seconds of practice, the entire corridor was empty.

Sun Fuyuan gave me a thumbs up, as if my blood was really awesome.But I'm not in the mood to be proud here, because I know very well that my blood is time-sensitive.Once blood leaves my body, it begins to deteriorate no matter what the environment.There's only a little blood on my mouth, and it's gone when it's gone.Time must be lost now.Thinking of this, I took the lead in swimming to the back of the wooden plank that I had stepped on just now.Ailina and Sun Fuyuan followed closely behind, continued to swim for a certain distance, came across a few rooms, went in and took a look, the inside was very simple, and it was clear at a glance what was there.We opened it up and took a quick look and left.But after another 5 minutes of swimming, I noticed something was wrong.

I told Alina and Sun Fuyuan to stop pulling down, took out the underwater clipboard and wrote three words on it - no corpse.Yes, just like I wrote it.There are no dead bodies to be found here.If it's a shipwreck, there must be entities in the ship.Such a large ship can hold hundreds of people, so it doesn't make sense that I haven't seen a single corpse until now.Our previous inference was that some kind of accident occurred when the ship sailed to the sea area of ​​Guixu, causing the whole ship to sink suddenly.Others also died in the sea.But there are no dead bodies here now, which means that there is such a possibility—it was not an accident, or the accident did not happen very suddenly, and there was enough time for everyone on the ship to evacuate.In the end, an empty ship was left and sank in the sea.

If that is the case, then it is very likely that what we were looking for was also taken away during the evacuation.So what are we looking for here?Thinking of this, I hastily wrote a few words on the clipboard "People, leave calmly, take the treasure"

They immediately understood what I meant, and fell silent for a while.I can't imagine what will happen afterwards, if that's the case, the chances of the treasure being taken away at that time are higher.Then we are here in vain.Obviously, everyone thought of this, and Sun Fuyuan wrote on the clipboard again, "Go back and discuss." After finishing writing, he will go back, but I still feel that something is wrong. The result is not wrong, and there is another point that I am very concerned about, that is, these people have no reason to abandon ship like this.If the sinking is slow, the crew's first response should be to repair the ship.After all, this is the depths of the ocean, and abandoning the big ship is basically a dead end.And not to mention that time, even now there is no guarantee that there will be enough lifeboats for everyone on large cruise ships.There should only be one or two lifeboats on this ship, so with the urgency of the people at that time, only the captain or some of the dignitaries would come up, while the others would be directly abandoned.In other words, there should still be most of the people who sank with the boat.

I want to tell them these inferences, but unfortunately the ideas in them are a bit too complicated, and they can't be explained clearly by writing a few words on a clipboard.I had no choice but to write the words "unreasonable" on the clipboard.Unreasonable means that there is an error in logical thinking, and unreasonable means that there is no logical error, but when projected into the real situation, people will not do that.I didn't know if the message I wanted to express had been sent to them, so I had to take the lead and swim inside again.But I kept thinking about what would happen in my mind, which was both reasonable and reasonable.Under what circumstances would a large number of corpses that should have been here disappear.In the end, we can only conclude that the corpse happened not to be in the route we were looking for to comfort ourselves.

Finally, we came to a carved lacquered wooden door, we can see the difference in the status of the room, this should be the captain's cabin.I went forward and pushed, and got acquainted beyond my imagination—no, it shouldn’t be acquainted, if I had to explain this feeling, it would be that there was something pushing against the door.
