I used my hands to clear away the surrounding Ice Shards, but still found no traces of blood. Given their twisted postures, I felt there were two possibilities. The first was that they died from a broken neck; the Killer had directly twisted their necks barehanded.
The second possibility was death by Poison. Although the bodies were frozen, the Killer would definitely not have bothered to treat the wounds. However, considering both points, it seemed most likely that Barehanded had broken their necks.
This Killer was no ordinary person; being able to kill everyone on board in one go was terrifying. Who could this person be? Perhaps they had been hiding among us all along. It was getting more and more bizarre—could it be one of those two men in black?
"To think they were Bearded Man's subordinates. How did you find out? Did we check the Freezer last time?" I stood up and asked him, but I couldn't remember if we had actually checked the Freezer or not.
Jiao Ba shook his head and said, "I can't recall either. I think we might have checked it, but I discovered this by chance. These bodies were covered by some frozen fish, so they were completely hidden. I was worried Jenny and the others would check the Freezer, so I wanted to hide here for a while. It was only after I cleared away the frozen fish that I found them."
"It's now certain that Bearded Man's subordinates were indeed murdered, but who did it? Lao Ba, do you have any leads?" The events of tonight had come too suddenly, one after another, leaving me feeling overwhelmed.
"Not yet. This matter needs careful analysis. What puzzles me is why he didn't just throw the bodies into the sea after killing them. Why hide them here? Isn't that leaving himself a trail?" Jiao Ba paced back and forth, his feet cold.
I thought for a moment and said, "If the bodies are thrown into the sea, they might float up. With so many bodies, it's inevitable someone would discover them. Hiding them here is safer; Bearded Man's fishing boat is no longer useful, and keeping them here won't cause them to rot or smell for a while. Plus, this place is rarely visited by anyone. If you hadn't uncovered this today, I think we would have never unraveled this secret."
Jiao Ba shivered and said, "Brother Yi, what should we do now?"
I shook my head and replied, "Let's get out of here first; it's too cold in this place. We can discuss these matters when we get back. The most important thing now is to find out what’s on the female corpse. Lao Ba, remember—don't leak any information; let's act as if we know nothing."
Jiao Ba nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yi; I've got it under control. Let's go check what’s on the female corpse."
We restored the bodies to their original state and covered them with frozen fish before exiting the Freezer and heading straight for the last cabin.
Once back in the cabin, we needed to open the coffin lid. However, this time it was difficult for us; due to our diminished strength, it took us quite a while to pry it open. Once opened, moonlight shone directly onto the female corpse, making it appear even more eerie.
As soon as I saw her face, an unsettling feeling washed over me; despite Jiao Bayi insisting that she wasn't the same as the previous Coffin Corpse, I couldn't shake off my unease. Moreover, this was also a Demon Worm Corpse; my heart raced with uncertainty.
Yet to unravel this mystery as quickly as possible, I had no choice but to take this risk. Jiao Ba had already searched around previously and found nothing; it seemed that if we wanted to find the remaining half of the jade pendant, we would have to examine this female corpse.
Based on our earlier experience with the Coffin Corpse, it was most likely that the jade pendant was in her hand. I looked closely—her right hand lay flat while her left hand was clenched into a fist beneath her right hand; it seemed likely.
"Brother Yi, that jade pendant should be in the female corpse's hand. Remember the previous Coffin Corpse? You found the pendant in her right hand when it was tightly clenched. Now this female corpse has her left hand clenched tightly; it's very likely that the pendant is in her left hand," Jiao Ba turned to me and said excitedly as he realized what I was thinking too.
"Well, I've also thought about it. It's really possible. Let me open her hand first and take a look." As I spoke, I was ready to take action. I had to move the female corpse's right hand away first, but when I touched her right hand, I felt a chill coming from the female corpse's hand, and it spread all over my body in an instant, making me tremble all over. When I got up, especially my hands, they were so numb that I could hardly feel their existence. "Brother YiWhat's wrong with you?" Jiao Bayi saw me trembling and asked me quickly. I quickly retracted my hand and said, "Why is this female corpse so cold? It felt like I had touched an ice cube. It was so cold that I shivered unconsciously." Jiao Ba's face changed and he said, " It seems that this Demon Worm Corpse is very capable. We have to fight quickly and we can't waste any more time." After he finished speaking, he took action directly. Jiao Ba first moved the female corpse's right hand away, and then He started to break off the left hand of the female corpse, but he spent a long time and was even so tired that he was sweating profusely. He could not break open the left hand of the female corpse, not even a finger. Demon Cultivator's Temptation in modern times. "Damn, why is it so tight? It can't be opened." Jiao Ba said anxiously. []Deep Sea Maze116 "Get up and let me try." I pushed Jiao Ba away and went up to break the female corpse's hand. I endured the extremely cold air and grabbed the female corpse's hand. Thumb, push it out hard. The fingers of this female corpse were like steel bars. It took me a long time to break open the thumb, but when I was about to break the other fingers, Jiao Ba suddenly said next to me, " Brother Yi, I think we should withdraw first. "Why withdraw? It's about to be broken apart now. Wait a while, I have to find the half of the jade pendant." I continued to use force to break the female corpse's fingers. , without even raising his head. Jiao Ba said in a strange voice, "Why do I feel that the atmosphere is wrong? Didn't you notice that the cabin is getting colder?" Jiao Ba After saying this, I clearly realized that the temperature in the cabin was indeed increasing rapidly. As we descended, the air-conditioning around us became thicker and thicker, as if we had just entered a freezer. Through the light of the lighter, I could see my breath. "What...what's going on?" I looked at Jiao Ba in confusion. "I can't say clearly, but something must be wrong, Brother Yi, why don't we leave first, or come back tomorrow." Jiao Ba still advised me to leave. "There won't be time tomorrow. Jenny They will definitely have to come over early in the morning. Stop talking nonsense. Just wait for a while and I will break it off." I used all my strength to break off the remaining four sticks of the female corpse. finger. But no matter how hard I tried, there was still no reaction. I just couldn't pry these four fingers apart. The hand of this female corpse was tighter than the fucking pliers. Damn it, there was nothing I could do. I just pulled the Paratrooper Knife Pulled it out and prepared to pry. "Brother Yi, what are you doing?" Jiao Bayi saw me operating the knife, and he was a little anxious. "What else can I do? She can't pry it open with her hands, so I can only pry it." I stopped talking nonsense and used Paratrooper Knife to clamp the female corpse's fingers and pry it out bit by bit. After a hard fight, I finally managed to pry her hand away.
At the same time, I noticed something in her palm that stirred a sense of excitement within me. "Lao Ba, look, there's something," I said, moving the light closer. When I saw the emerald object, I couldn't help but smile, feeling quite proud.
"It's that half of the jade pendant," Jiao Ba said excitedly beside me.
I reached out and took the half of the jade pendant, examining it closely. Regardless of its size or appearance, it was very similar to the other half of the Phoenix Pendant. It was clear that this was its counterpart.
Jiao Ba took the half from my hand and scrutinized it. "That's right, Brother Yi. This is it! As long as we put these two halves together, I can uncover the identities of these two female corpses." His eyes seemed to sparkle as he spoke.
The temperature in the cabin dropped significantly again. Jiao Ba shivered and said, "Let's hurry up, Brother Yi. We have what we came for; there's no need to linger."
Suddenly, I remembered something important. The Bearded Man had previously found a small Golden Key in the mouth of the Coffin Corpse. I wondered if there might be some treasure hidden in this female corpse's mouth as well.
I decided to pry open her mouth to see if anything was concealed inside. Since we were already here, a moment longer wouldn't hurt.
"Wait a minute; let me pry her mouth open before we leave. There might be something hidden inside," I said as I prepared to act.
Jiao Bayi grabbed my arm and urged, "Brother Yi, don't pry it open; let's get out of here quickly."
"What's with your fear? What are you so afraid of? You have a talisman holding it down..." Before I could finish my sentence, a loud crash echoed through the cabin as all the glass in the windows shattered.
