Chapter 312 You and I Both Have Secrets

Chen Ke walked downstairs quickly and walked into the crew rest area. Conrad's voice came from the radio in the ship. The crew didn't know what happened, but they just picked up their weapons according to Conrad's instructions, squeezed in the aisle and looked at the speaker on the ceiling, and there was a lot of noise around.

"What happened, Chen Ke?" Laura's voice came from the other end of the aisle. She squeezed through the crew and waved to Chen Ke.

In this noisy environment, the strange things that happened just now didn't seem so scary. For a while, Chen Ke wondered if he really just saw it wrong.

He also moved closer to Laura, and then avoided the crowd together and came to the kitchen, where there were fewer people.

"I just saw a child, right at the stern, it slipped behind the boom and disappeared." Chen Ke said.

Without explanation, Laura understood what Chen Ke meant.

Because Chen Ke used "it" instead of "him" when describing the child.

In English, it refers to non-human things, while him refers to people, which is the same relationship as "it" and "he" in Chinese.

"Where do you think it will be now?" Laura asked.

"I don't know. If this thing has a physical body, its actions should be carried out according to physical logic... It has to climb and open the door to get into other places in the cabin." Chen Ke analyzed.

"Could it be..." Laura put her hands on her waist, as if she had thought of something bad.

"If it is something like a demon... it will be a bit difficult." Chen Ke nodded. He knew what Laura was worried about.

I'm not afraid of monsters opening doors, but I'm afraid of monsters going through walls.

"How did Conrad know about this? Did you tell him?" Laura asked.

"Yes, but Conrad installed surveillance cameras on the ship. He can see what happened in every corner of the ship. Unfortunately, even so, he didn't find the child." Chen Ke replied.

"Wait... he installed surveillance cameras?" Laura frowned.

Chen Ke understood Laura's concerns. Needless to say, Laura would never be just a university history teacher as she said. For a teacher, she was too calm in the atmosphere on the ship.

"I don't know if he has installed surveillance cameras in the cabin, but from what I saw, it seems that he cares more about the fish hold below and the gangway on the side of the ship. Heinard is also afraid that something will climb onto the ship." Chen Ke said.

"I hope you are right, Chen Ke, I don't want to be on the same boat with a pervert." Laura sighed.

"Have you seen Nathan?" Chen Ke suddenly asked.

It is very strange that Nathan did not show up in this situation. Chen Ke turned on his spiritual vision and scanned along the crew rest area. His eyes were filled with a large number of blue human outlines, overlapping each other, and he could not tell who was who.

He looked at his feet again and found a figure near the fish hold.

"I knew... this Nathan is not a quiet guy." Chen Ke said secretly.

"Chen Ke... you just..." Laura said vigilantly.

Chen Ke came to his senses and found that she was two steps away from him and held the kitchen knife on the chef's table in her hand.

"Is it so bright?" The blue halo on Chen Ke's eyes disappeared and returned to its original color.

"You are... a psychic?" Laura became alert.

"Yes, and you are definitely not a history teacher. Am I right?" Chen Ke asked.

Laura looked at Chen Ke, and a thought surged in her mind. After a few seconds, she put down the kitchen knife in her hand.

"There is nothing strange about psychics. Why are you so alert?" Chen Ke asked curiously.

"Either you are illegal or you are from the Administration. I think the former is more likely. I think you know better than me how dangerous an illegal psychic is." Laura answered truthfully.

"There will be exceptions, Ms. Laura." Chen Ke laughed.

"Then prove it to me." Laura said.

"I usually..." Chen Ke just opened his mouth and saw a boy about seven or eight years old standing next to the kitchen counter behind Laura.

Laura knew what happened just by looking at Chen Ke's face. She didn't say anything, knowing that she shouldn't look back.

The little boy was wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt and brown shorts, with thick golden medium-length hair, sickly white skin, no pupils in his eyes, and black pus and blood coming out of his mouth. He just stood there motionless.

Chen Ke opened his psychic vision, and there was no outline of the boy in his field of vision.

He could not feel the murderous aura, and his psychic vision did not work. This was the second thing that Chen Ke had seen after Bader that made his ability fail.

In this case, it is better to strike first.

Chen Ke took out his gun in almost two seconds and pulled the trigger at the little boy behind Laura. There were only three crisp sounds of the bolt rebounding, and the modified Type 67 pistol spit out three shells.

The bullet did not hit the target. The little boy disappeared the moment Chen Ke fired, and all the bullets hit a pot.

Chen Ke put down his gun and rushed to the kitchen to look around. He could no longer find the little boy. Just like before on the deck, the other party disappeared without a trace.

He shook his head and looked at the gun in his hand, and was very satisfied with its silencer effect.

"Did you see... it just now?" Laura chased in and asked.

"Yes, but it disappeared out of thin air, which is exactly what I am worried about. That thing may be an invisible demon or something like that." Chen Ke said.

"I've never seen your gun before..." Laura's focus seemed to be different from Chen Ke's.

Chen Ke raised his hand and shook the gun in front of Laura, saying: "Scarlet Phoenix Type 67, of course it is a modified style, not for sale."

"I thought you would use psychic firearms or extraordinary abilities... You should know that ordinary bullets are ineffective against such things, right?" Laura said with her hands on her waist.

"I will use it when it is necessary, but you know that this is a boat, and I don't want to sink it by mistake." Chen Ke put the gun back into the holster.

"You are right, Chen Ke, I'd better go back to the cabin to pack up now." Laura said, turning around and running out of the kitchen.

Chen Ke did not follow Laura. The other party's secret had nothing to do with him, and he was not interested in Laura. Now he had two choices, go up to Conrad and tell him what happened in the kitchen, or go down to the fish hold to find Nathan and see what he was doing.

Chen Ke chose the latter.

He always felt that Nathan was not a serious person, and in this case, Nathan chose to sneak into the fish hold for his own plan, which made Chen Ke very worried.

At a critical moment, the most feared thing is people with ulterior motives.

Chen Ke squeezed through the crowd and walked downstairs through the iron ladder. Most of the crew members were concentrated in the rest area and the bridge. There was basically no one in the fish hold. In Chen Ke's field of vision, there was only a blue-outlined figure standing near the fish hold, seemingly looking for something.

Chen Ke subconsciously took out his pistol and assumed that Nathan was a dangerous person because there was a high probability that he was looking for the holy objects smuggled by Conrad, which were worth a lot of money.

Chen Ke didn't know how Nathan knew about this, and maybe he didn't come for these holy objects.

The temperature at the bottom of the fishing boat was obviously hotter than above. The huge roar from the engine room and the dark red lights could easily make people feel uncomfortable, but this was nothing to Chen Ke.

He carefully tiptoed to Nathan at the stern, wanting to see what he was doing before he was discovered.

At this moment, Chen Ke saw something strange again.
