Chapter 297: The Ghost..

"In fact, everything we are going through now, hehe, my friend had experienced it long ago."

"How they found that ghost back then, it’s something you wouldn’t want to know. They had a civil war of suspicion and ended up mistakenly killing the ghost."

"It’s that simple."

"Besides, any means you use to find the ghost are impossible."

"Ghosts perfecty replicate that person, even memories and abilities are perfectly replicated. So, trying to find him through time and clues is meaningless, pal."

Ye Qiu nodded, "In your opinion, what should we do now?"

Charles thought for a moment, "If the ship we boarded is the same as the one my friend boarded, there might be a clue in one place."

"Should we go check it out together?"

Ye Qiu nodded, and the two of them made their way to the end of the ship’s cabin, which turned out to be a simple kitchen.

There was a storeroom on one side of the kitchen. Charles opened the door and found two skeletons lying on the floor.

They approached and saw that the skeletons were holding two badges in their hands.

The badges had a skull design on them, identical to the Death Certificate that Ye Qiu was holding!

"Death Certificate?"

Charles’s eyes widened, and he quickly crouched down, reaching out to grab the Death Certificate!

When his hand touched the Death Certificate, both skeletons, including the Death Certificate, turned into ashes.

"Hmm… it looks like my guess was right, friend."

"This is indeed the same ship."

"But I haven’t experienced it firsthand after all, and many things are just hearsay to me, so there is one thing I am still not sure about."

。。。

After two days passed like peaceful nights, everyone had not slept for four nights.

They couldn’t hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep.

And on that night, two people died.

Everyone entered the captain’s room and saw Old Du and Watermelon’s bodies laid flat on the floor of the captain’s room.

Fang Ze stayed quiet for a moment, "Did anyone not sleep last night?"

Everyone looked at each other and then shook their heads.

"Darn it…"

"Have you found any clues?"

When Ye Qiu heard this, he remembered something, "In the cluttered room at the end of the ship’s cabin, yesterday Charles and I saw two bodies, but as soon as we touched the bodies…"

"The two bodies disappeared."

Fang Ze frowned, "Let’s go, take us there."

。。。

The group returned to the cluttered room.

Inside, they found two bodies lying flat – one belonging to Old Du, and the other to Watermelon.

Seeing this, everyone’s pupils shrank in shock.

They quickly turned back to the captain’s room, only to discover that the bodies were gone!

"What is going on?"

People gathered around the bodies, carefully inspecting them, and eventually found a Death Certificate held in Old Du’s hand and another in Watermelon’s hand.

Ye Qiu saw this and his pupils shrank, just like yesterday!

Charles sighed, "It seems my guess was correct, my friend."

"This room is the key to our escape from here; once it opens, every time someone dies, their body will appear here."

"And we can find the Death Certificate on the bodies."

Speaking, Charles directly picked up the Death Certificate on Old Du’s body.

This time, it didn’t disappear.

"What can we do with the Death Certificate?" Fang Ze looked at Charles puzzled.

Charles shook his head, "I don’t know, but I do know that without the Death Certificate, we can’t cross this Dead Sea."

Fang Ze frowned, "So even if we find the ghost, we can’t leave here?"

"Everyone must have a Death Certificate in their hands, right?"

Charles nodded, "That’s probably the case."

Fang Ze took a deep breath, "What about the eleven sailors before, where are their Death Certificates?"

Charles shook his head, "They don’t have them, my friend. Before they died, we didn’t open this door…"

Fang Ze grabbed Charles by the collar, "Why didn’t you say anything before? Why did you keep this from me?"

Charles waved his hands, "Oh, calm down, buddy. I wasn’t sure if my darn friend was telling the truth to old Charles!"

Fang Ze took a deep breath, "So, what’s the point here, just to get our hands on the Death Certificate?"

Charles nervously swallowed, "No, if someone has the Death Certificate, they can be protected from ghost attacks…"

"So, if we all have it, the ghosts won’t attack us…"

There are now two Death Certificates. Fang Ze picked one up and passed it around to everyone.

There are now a total of seven people left.

Ye Qiu, Jiang Chen, Fang Ze, Zhou Li, Zhang Qingyan, Fly, Charles.

With only two Death Certificates, as Charles said, they couldn’t pass through the Dead Sea.

Among them, three people must die!

Only this way, can they achieve the goal of everyone having a Death Certificate!

If two more die, there will be five people left but only four passes.

Unless they can kill that ghost!

Zhou Li gritted his teeth, "Hmm, do we just have to wait around like this?"

Jiang Chen’s eyes flashed red, "If there’s only one ghost, then he must be one of us seven."

"If we keep being passive, the chances will indeed gradually decrease, but by then it might be too late for us."

"Instead of waiting, we should take action now, choose the most suspicious person together, one in seven chance, if it fails then one in six, let’s try again!"

This is indeed a solution.

"Who do you think is the most suspicious?"

"Fly."

Indeed, if anyone among them is most likely, it’s definitely Fly.

"And… Charles."

"But I suspect you more, Night Song."

"Hehe, Leader Holy Light, as you mentioned earlier, everyone is a suspect, including you!"

"Stay calm, Night Song!"

"I feel like all three of them are very suspicious!"

"Let’s wait a bit longer!"

"There’s no time for us to wait any longer!"

As the situation escalated, Ye Qiu wanted to say something to ease the tension, but Fly stepped forward first.

"There’s no need to argue over these unimportant matters. I’ll make the decision myself. If my death can help you get crucial clues."

。。。

With Fly sacrificing himself, the suspicions during the day gradually subsided.

They realized that by suspecting each other, they couldn’t find the culprit. Instead, they would only end up turning against one another.

Fang Ze was also in this situation for the first time, he had no leads…

Not a single lead.

He suspected everyone to be a ghost. He couldn’t be sure which one was the real ghost!

This made his heart gradually sink into agony, "I can’t guess, I can’t guess… who could it be…"

Fang Ze couldn’t fall asleep again tonight, his spirits had reached a critical point, his eyes bloodshot.

He looked at the Death Certificate in his hand, tonight he chose to stay alone in a room.

Because he wanted to make sure if what Charles said was true!

If he had the Death Certificate, would he not be targeted by ghosts?

If he died tonight, then what Charles said would be false!

And the chance of him being a ghost would be very high, so even if he died, Zhang Qingyan, Ye Qiu, they could still get rid of Charles!

Fang Ze spent the night feeling restless like this.

The next morning, he indeed did not die.

But Zhang Qingyan and Jiang Chen died!

At this point, only four people remained in the room: Charles, Ye Qiu, Fang Ze, Zhou Li.

One quarter chance!

Fang Ze, with bloodshot eyes, looked at their faces, tightly clenched his fist, then silently let go.

Among those present, who could kill Jiang Chen?

Perhaps Zhou Li could, but their chances were only fifty-fifty.

The most suspicious ones were Ye Qiu and Fang Ze.

But if they had to fight alone, could they really kill Jiang Chen without making any noise?

Fang Ze asked himself and knew he couldn’t, neither could Ye Qiu.

Fang Ze held his head, he couldn’t think properly, he was having a terrible headache and might faint at any moment.

Wait, there really is only one ghost…

Bump!

Fang Ze suddenly blacked out and fell down.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back in his room.

Zhou Li, however, was already dead in front of him.

What appeared before his eyes were two shadowy figures with eyes glowing red!

At that moment, Fang Ze suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha, so that’s how it is…"

Puff!

[Death Certificate]

One of you has died.

Who brought the Death Certificate on board?

。。。
