Deep Sea Embers Chapter 303: The “Captain” of the Obsidian
Duncan carried Ai on his shoulders. He was the first to pass through the big hole and stepped into the upside-down corridor. The others followed behind him one by one. Suddenly the attacker appeared.
The team walked cautiously through the corridor, everyone was always paying attention to the movement around them, and at the same time carefully observed every structure in the corridor.
And after stepping into the corridor, they did find some details that they hadn't noticed at the entrance before.
This hallway isn't just upside down - it's twisted and weird everywhere.
Doors with obviously different sizes and specifications are randomly inlaid on the walls on both sides, some are upright, some are upside down, round portholes can be seen occasionally on the walls, but the opposite side of the window is either a wall or another door Or windows, some weird geometric protrusions appearing on the walls or floors, which seem to be the structure of the room elsewhere, but mistakenly blended into the corridor.
The internal state of the "Obsidian" seems to have been edited by a horrible doctor to fix details that he hadn't noticed.

The state of the interior of the "Obsidian" is like the viscera of a giant beast that has been transformed by a terrible doctor. All its internal organs are randomly stacked and connected in a distorted manner. It is connected to this corridor that seems to be the main road, and at the end of this corridor... I don't know what is lurking in the dark.
The interior of the ghost ship was very quiet, only the sound of everyone's footsteps knocking on the "ground" that should have been the roof. This sound echoed inside the hull, and there seemed to be something else mixed in.
Nina and Shirley seemed a bit nervous, but Alice was in good condition—this puppet was not brave, but seriously lacked common sense, and all her sailing experience came from the same evil and weird The Lost Country, so she didn't think there was anything to be afraid of in the ghost ship.
After walking forward like this for an unknown amount of time, the long corridor seemed to extend endlessly in the darkness, and the area in front of it also became increasingly dim. Duncan poked the pigeon on his shoulder: "Illumination."
Suddenly Ai shouted sharply: "Take this solar tomahawk! Embrace the glory of battle!"
Following the pigeon's bluffing, a burst of bright green flames rose from its body, and the blazing flames dispelled the darkness in the corridor at once.
Fan Na looked at this scene in astonishment, and murmured to Morris in front of her in a low voice: "This pigeon... can still be used like this?"
Morris's tone was very indifferent: "The captain often uses this - sometimes when the pigeons are not around, he will use himself to illuminate."
Fanna: "...?"
But this time, before she could lament again the huge gap between the "legendary Captain Duncan" and the real Captain Duncan, a sudden sound interrupted everyone's actions.
"Boom boom..."
That dull-sounding knock came from behind a nearby door!
Everyone stopped for an instant, and their eyes focused on the direction from which the voice came from.
It was a blue door with the words "Captain's Cabin" written on it.
From the perspective of a normal ship structure, it is certainly impossible for the captain's cabin to be in this position. However, on a ghost ship that is completely chaotic and the entrances of various cabins are piled up randomly, any door appearing in any place is a possibility. possible.
"Boom boom..."
The percussion sounded again, more obvious than before, and it seemed a little hasty.
It's as if a survivor of a shipwreck is hiding behind that door. After hearing the movement in the corridor, he is anxious
He slammed on the door trying to attract help.
Fanna silently reached out her hand to touch the giant sword behind her, Shirley slightly raised the black chain in her hand, Nina hid behind Alice, and Alice raised her hand to hug her head.
Duncan came to the door expressionlessly.
The knocking sound continued to ring.
But Duncan didn't intend to open the door. He just curled his fingers and knocked on the door twice.
The knocking sound inside stopped suddenly, and it seemed that the person who made the sound was a little surprised. After a few seconds of silence, a hoarse and low voice suddenly broke the silence, and it sounded from behind the blue door: "Outside ...Is anyone there?"
"Yes." Duncan said lightly.
"Ah, that's great! I'm the captain of the Obsidian. I don't know what happened to the ship, but I'm trapped," said the hoarse and deep voice immediately, "Good sir outside the door, What's your name? Can you open the door for me?"
"You can just call me Duncan," Duncan said, and at the same time pressed his hand behind him, signaling for others to be calm, "Before I open the door, I want to make sure——are you really the captain of the Obsidian?"
"Of course! My name is Christo Barberi. You can find my name and ID number from the Port Authority. My ID is in the room," the voice said immediately, "but... ··…For some reason, this damned door is not moving at all, and I really have no way to come out to prove my identity to you...
"Next question," Duncan ignored the chatter of the doorman, but continued to ask, "What year is this year?"
"This year?" The voice in the door was obviously stunned for a moment, probably thinking that the question was a bit weird, but he still replied, "Of course it was 1894, what's the problem?"
Duncan glanced back at Morris, who nodded slightly.
In 1894, that was the day of the shipwreck of the Obsidian.
Thinking of the shipwreck, Morris suddenly stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, captain, do you know that there is a passenger named 'Brown Scott' on your ship?"
"Passengers?" The voice behind the blue door hesitated, "I can't remember the names of every passenger on board, but... you mean Brown Scott? Ah, I think Wake up, I remember, that folklorist? He is a famous person, I have talked with him several times, I have the impression that he is a very thin gentleman, his hair and beard are always meticulous, He has a lot of research on the funeral customs of various city-states, and is also very interested in the frozen sea area further north
Listening to the voice from behind the blue door, Morris nodded lightly, and whispered to Duncan: "There is no deviation."
"Clear mind, complete memory,
I can say my name accurately,” Fan Na, who was silent on the side, suddenly broke the silence, “but it cannot be ruled out that it is an evil creature that has absorbed human memories and emotions and set a trap. This kind of thing is not found on the ghost ship. Not uncommon."
"Oh, that doesn't matter, as long as you really have the captain's memory," Duncan said indifferently, "Monsters can also try to reason first—if it doesn't make sense, talk about physics, and it always makes sense of."
Fan Na was stunned: "...that's true."
Duncan put his hand on the handle of the blue wooden door.
"I'm going to open the door, Mr. Barberry," he said to the inside.
Then, he turned the handle—unlike the completely rusted hatch doors he had seen before, this door seemed to have no signs of damage. The slight sound of the lock cylinder turning.
The door opened.
Under everyone's slightly nervous gaze, Duncan pushed open the door.
An upside-down and chaotic room appeared in front of everyone.
All the walls are crooked, and the ceiling is crooked as if it is about to collapse completely. The original furnishings in the room are randomly blended into the nearby walls and the ground, as if buried by wood and metal, and only half of them are exposed outside. Incomplete parts such as tables and half chairs,
There is a huge hole in the wall directly facing the door, and the opposite side of the hole is dark, and it is not known where it leads.
And there is no one in this upside-down room.
Duncan glanced at the empty room ~IndoMTL.com~ But in the next second, he heard the voice of the captain "Christo Barberi" coming from behind the blue door Come over: "Ah, did you open the door? I seem to feel a shake, but the door is still in my hand... Is there something wrong with my perception or cognition? Can you help Is it possible that I have been trapped in this sea for too long, and I already have some bad symptoms. It would be even better if there is a pastor who is willing to lend a helping hand..."
Duncan frowned.
He walked into the messy room, slowly turned the door around, and looked behind the door panel.
He saw the "Christo Barberi".
A mass...like an incomplete melted wax figure stuck to the door. In the deformed and collapsed structure, one could vaguely see an arm sticking to the door panel, several fiber bundles connecting the hands, and a Da Tuan couldn't see what the "body" was at all.
This horrible and twisted thing was fused with the door in this way. When Duncan watched it, it was still slightly shrinking and wriggling, and a hoarse and deep sound came from a certain part of its structure .
"Ah, I can't see you, have you come in? The room may be a bit messy, there was a big shock before, and I haven't cleaned up the room since then... I seem to have some problems with vision,
But the problem is not very big, the most troublesome thing now is that I can't move my body, I seem to have forgotten how to control my hands and feet-by the way, do you have a doctor with you? "
