206 Chapter - She Has A Problem
"What are you doing?" Bai Cheng asked with a frown, "What if it's dangerous?"
Her body returned to normal, and she quickly spoke.
After speaking, Bai Cheng intended to go up and check the situation, but Yu Nian pulled her back.
She leaned in and whispered, "Leng Ningxue, she has a problem."
Bai Cheng was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"To be precise, it's not that she has a problem, but that this person has a problem," Yu Nian continued. "Just now, the three of us were in different illusions. I suspect the current Leng Ningxue is fake..."
Meeting Bai Cheng's disbelieving gaze, Yu Nian calmly pulled out a piece of parchment from her pocket and unfolded it.
"My name is Ren Jian. By the time you read this, I am already dead.
The Chris (ship) has been infested by the eerie. I sacrificed my life to sail the ship to a deserted sea and sealed them with my own flesh. But I know that as time passes, the seal will gradually weaken. The so-called three tokens are the magical artifacts I used to suppress them.
You must find them and place them back in the Captain's Cabin to reinforce the seal. Although the eerie are sealed, they can still bewitch those with weak minds to serve them. Once the seal is broken, everyone on the ship will die..."
The information revealed on the parchment was not difficult to understand.
The Captain sealed three eerie, but they were about to break the seal, and the three magical artifacts left by the Captain needed to be found to reinforce the seal.
Undoubtedly, compared to the fragmented words obtained earlier, the clues revealed on this parchment were much more complete.
Just a few short sentences clarified all the intricacies on the ship.
However, the information here was completely opposite to what the "crew member" Leng Ningxue spoke of.
How to choose?
Bai Cheng frowned, already beginning to suspect Yu Nian. She asked, "Where did you get this parchment? Don't tell me you got it in the illusion just now."
Yu Nian's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this: "Xiao Cheng, you suspect me?"
"Answer my question first," Bai Cheng emphasized.
But before she could answer, the wooden door not far away was slammed open by Leng Ningxue. She was holding a rusty cyan compass and shouted over here: "Bai Cheng, I found a token!"
She trotted forward, glanced at Yu Nian, and continued to explain: "This is information the crew member told me. The eerie and the Captain perished together. Now that the eerie are reawakening, only by releasing the Captain can this place be completely pacified!"
"This token is used by the eerie to suppress the Captain's power. Once it is reset, the Captain will be completely sealed, and the eerie will also reawaken at the same time..."
Leng Ningxue's explanation was not finished before she was loudly interrupted by an agitated Yu Nian.
"You're spouting nonsense!"
"This token is used to seal the eerie. The Captain is dead. Now only we can pacify this place!"
Leng Ningxue looked at her in surprise: "Yu Nian, that's all fake, it's a trap, you've been bewitched by the shadow!"
"You imposter, you're twisting the facts!" Yu Nian argued.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Bai Cheng frowned tightly and scolded loudly.
"Enough!"
"Bai Cheng (Xiao Cheng), this person has a problem!"
It was difficult for Bai Cheng to judge who had a problem or which of them was telling the truth.
Yu Nian's behavior just now did make her somewhat suspicious, and the usually calm Leng Ningxue also did something out of character.
Rather than saying one of them was wrong, Bai Cheng was more inclined to believe that both had problems.
"Give me the token," Bai Cheng said calmly, extending her hand.
Leng Ningxue did not hesitate and immediately handed over the decayed compass in her hand.
This was a palm-sized, broken, and completely useless item.
It looked ordinary, not as if it contained some extraordinary power.
After all, although Bai Cheng's strength was sealed, her physique and perception were still present.
She was very certain, and after knowing that both of them had problems, she even doubted whether this was truly the real token.
However, seeing that neither side objected, it should not be fake.
Bai Cheng continued: "To be honest, I don't know which of you two has a problem."
She first looked at Yu Nian: "Nian Nian, I'm quite surprised that you, who are so careless, found that parchment, and even more so that you managed to resist announcing it immediately."
She then looked at Leng Ningxue: "Ningxue, from what I know of you, you are a meticulous girl. When you discovered there was a problem, you didn't present evidence but ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) chose to argue."
Bai Cheng shook her head: "I'll find the remaining tokens. As for which of you is telling the truth, I will judge for myself."
"Stay put. Everything will be fine once we clear this Station."
After speaking, Bai Cheng directly passed by the two of them and went to search other rooms on her own.
At this moment, rather than suspecting them, Bai Cheng preferred to trust herself.
The subsequent rooms were still the same; behind every door was a piece of parchment with cryptic writings.
These contents also did not provide Bai Cheng with a basis for judging the words of Leng Ningxue and Yu Nian.
At the same time, she also did not find the second token on the first floor.
Standing at the doorway, looking at the two dark rooms above, Bai Cheng raised an eyebrow: "Could it be that the three tokens are evenly distributed on each floor?"
She looked back in their direction, and they truly stood frozen like statues.
This made Bai Cheng even more convinced that both of them had problems.
"It seems they've been affected by some power here."
After exploring the remaining rooms on the first floor, Bai Cheng then went to the second floor.
The layout here was the same as the first floor, also a square shape.
However, as she stepped onto this floor, the footsteps that were close behind her once again sounded.
This time, Bai Cheng felt an even clearer chill coming from behind her.
"What does this mean?" Bai Cheng frowned, feeling a discomfort throughout her body, but she was more inclined to believe it was her own psychological effect.
What good were these footsteps besides scaring people?
Bai Cheng still ignored it and turned to enter the nearest room on the second floor.
The moment she pushed open the door, a faint green candlelight immediately swept in, and at the end, on a table, an ancient book was placed.
Perhaps it was a book.
Bai Cheng was instantly surprised, even so startled that she didn't enter the room immediately.
This was the only room she had encountered that was completely different from the previous ones.
Her flashlight surveyed the layout within. The ground was outlined with a formation using some black pigment, and various bone ornaments were placed around its perimeter.
And the candlelight before her burned quietly in the center of the formation.
Under the flashlight's illumination, after confirming there was no danger again, Bai Cheng finally stepped inside.
Her first instinct was to check behind the door, but when she looked back, she discovered that in the empty room, there was a second shadow besides her own!
