This is not the first time Zhou Ming has passed through this door and came to the "opposite side".

Since a few days ago, Zhou Ming woke up and found that he was trapped in his room by some kind of "vision". After a strange thick fog covered the whole world, he found this strange place "opposite" the door .

After all, that door was now the only exit from his "room".

He still remembered the dazedness and confusion when he opened the door for the first time and saw the deck outside. He also remembered the shock and panic when he first lowered his head and saw that he had changed his body, but after that, in order to seek The opportunity to break through the predicament, he has boldly carried out several successful explorations of "this side", and now although he still does not understand what happened to himself, nor does he understand that this ship appeared outside his "door" "What is the situation of the strange big ship, but at least, he has mastered some experience and has some preliminary understanding of this ship.

Like the previous few times, Zhou Ming forced himself to get rid of the dizziness caused by passing through the gate in the shortest possible time, and then immediately confirmed the condition of the body, he checked the short gun in his hand, The memory compares all the details, and finally confirms that the items on his body are the same as the last time he left the deck.

"...It seems that every time I go through this door, my body 'switches seamlessly'...It would be nice to have a camera on this side of the deck, so that I can confirm when I open the captain's cabin door and go back to my apartment room. Will this body change...

"It's a pity that the items of the two 'worlds' cannot pass through the gate, and there is no way to bring the camera over...

"However, the mobile phone in the apartment recorded the scene when I passed through the gate from there. I did walk through the black fog... So it is true that my body 'changed' when I passed through the black fog. like this?"

Zhou Ming murmured, he knew that the way he was standing on the deck and talking to himself might be a bit funny to outsiders, but he had to make some noise, on this eerie ghost ship that was empty and empty... He Need a little evidence to prove that he is still "alive".

A gust of salty sea breeze blew across the deck and blew the black-blue captain's suit of unknown material on his body. Zhou Ming sighed softly, but instead of walking towards the deck, he turned to look at it. the door behind him.

He put his hand on the doorknob.

Turning the handle, then as long as the door is pushed open, he will see a thick gray-black fog, and through the thick fog, he will return to his bachelor apartment where he has lived for many years.

With force in his hands, he pulled the door open.

The slightly heavy oak door creaked, and inside the door was a slightly dim cabin. In the dim light, you could see the exquisite tapestries hanging on the walls, the shelves with many decorations, and There is a large nautical table in the center of the room, and there is a small door in the deepest part of the room, with a burgundy carpet in front of it.

Push the door open and you'll return to your bachelor's apartment, open the door and you'll be the captain's room - which is obviously the "normal facility" on this ship.

Zhou Ming stepped into the captain's room. When passing by the door, he habitually looked to the left. There was a one-person-high mirror fixed on the wall next to him. In the mirror, "Zhou Ming" was clearly reflected. look.

It was a tall man with thick black hair, a majestic short beard, and sunken eye sockets. His appearance alone seemed to have an aura of not being angry and arrogant. He seemed to be over forty, but the heroic The appearance and extremely oppressive eyes seem to mimic this sense of age, and the well-crafted captain's uniform shows the special identity of the person in the mirror.

Zhou Ming moved his neck and grimaced at the mirror - he felt that he was an easy-going and friendly person, and the image in the mirror really didn't match his temperament, but he soon gave up the attempt, Because he felt that instead of looking friendly in the mirror, he had changed from a commanding captain to a psychopathic serial killer...

While Zhou Ming was doing these actions, a slight screeching sound came from the direction of the sailing table. Unsurprisingly, he looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw that on the table there were The statue of a wooden goat head is turning its face to itself a little bit - the lifeless block of wood seems to be alive at this moment, and the pair of obsidian eyes inlaid on the wooden face are staring at this side.

The panicked memories of seeing this strange scene for the first time flashed through his mind, but Zhou Ming only twitched the corners of his mouth. He walked towards the sailing table, and the wooden goat head on the table also turned a little bit. From its neck, a hoarse and gloomy voice came from its wooden cavity: "Name?"

"Duncan," Zhou Ming said calmly, "Duncan Abnomar."

The voice of the wooden goat head instantly changed from hoarse and gloomy to warm and friendly: "Good morning, Your Excellency Captain, I'm glad to see that you still remember your name - how are you feeling today? How are you feeling today? You slept well last night. I hope you have a good dream. Besides, today is a good day to set sail, the sea is calm, the wind is good, cool and comfortable, and there is no annoying navy and noisy crew, Captain, you know a noisy crew..."

"You're already noisy enough." Although it wasn't the first time he had dealt with this weird goat head, Zhou Ming still felt his brain tremble. He almost gave the guy a vicious look, his voice squeezed from his teeth. Come out, "Quiet."

"Oh, oh, oh of course, Captain, you like to be quiet, and your loyal first and second mate and bosun, sailor and lookout knows this very well. There are many benefits to being quiet, and there was a medical practitioner who… It could also be in the field of philosophy or the field of architecture…”

Zhou Ming now feels that not only is his brain trembling, but even his bronchi are starting to tremble: "I mean, I order you to keep quiet!"

When the word "order" came out, the goat head finally became quiet.

Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and walked to the sailing table to sit down - now, he is the "captain" of this empty ghost ship.

Duncan Abnomar, an unfamiliar name, a tongue-in-cheek surname.

The moment he walked through the black-gray fog and stepped on the ship for the first time, he knew this in his mind. He knew that the body he was "on this side" was called Duncan, and he knew that he was the ship. The owner of the ship, who knew that the ship was on a journey far beyond imagination—he knew this, but only this.

The memory in his mind was so thin that there were only those key passages mentioned above, and the other details were completely blank, as if he knew that the ship had an amazing sailing plan, but had no idea what it was going to be. Where to go, the original owner of this ship, the real "Duncan Abnomar", seems to have died a long, long time ago.

And the things that remained in Zhou Ming's mind were more like the strongest and deepest "impressions" of a ghost captain left in the world after his complete death.

Instinct tells Zhou Ming that there is a big problem behind the identity of this "Captain Duncan", especially with the existence of supernatural phenomena on this ship (talking wooden goat head), the mystery of this Captain Duncan may even mean that someone A danger he never imagined, yet he must bear that name in order to travel safely on this ship.

Because just like the wooden goat head just now, something on this ship is trying to confirm the "captain's identity" at any time.

Even the ship itself is confirming the identity of the captain at all times.

It feels like some kind of insurance, as if the captain of the ship could really forget his name at any time, and once he forgets his name, something extremely terrifying and dangerous will happen, That's why we have to set up "checking means" everywhere on the ship.

Zhou Ming didn't know the consequences of "Captain Duncan" forgetting his name, but he believed that once he said his name wrong, there would never be any good consequences.

After all, even the wooden goat head on the sailing table doesn't look like a good person.

But if you carry the name Duncan Abnomar, then everything on this ship is amiable.

They don't look very intelligent anyway.

Zhou Ming—perhaps it should be called Duncan. Duncan ended his brief contemplation and memories, and then looked at the spread out chart on the table.

However, there were no identifiable routes, markings and land on the chart at all, not even an island. On its rough and thick parchment surface, only large swirling gray-white lumps could be seen, Those gray-white, fog-like things seemed to obscure the original route on the paper, and the only thing that could be seen in the center of the chart was the silhouette of a ship looming in the thick fog.

Duncan (Zhou Ming) has no experience in sailing to sea in the past few decades, but even people who don't know sea charts will know that "normal" charts don't look like this.

Obviously, like the wooden goat's head on the table, this chart is also some kind of supernatural item - but Duncan has not yet concluded its use.

It seems that he noticed that the captain's attention was finally focused on the chart. The goat head, which had been quiet for a long time on the table, finally moved again. It began to make a rubbing sound of wood rubbing, and its neck twisted slightly. Go, at first, I was more restrained in twisting, but soon the movement of the card wiping card wiping reached a level that could not be ignored-in the end, the whole head of this guy started to **** on the base as if the vibration mode was turned on.

Duncan was afraid that if he continued to smoke it, he would drill wood to make fire on his sailing table, and finally couldn't help but glance at it: "Speak."

"Yes Your Excellency - I repeat, it's a good day to set sail, and Homeless is waiting for your orders as always! Are we going to set sail?"
