"Who?!"

Just as Xiao Han wanted to observe the space behind the small door, a slender hand covered his mouth, and while he wanted to resist, the other hand also grabbed his shoulder, as if he was tightly imprisoned.

The small door above the head was closed after Xiao Han entered, so there was no need to worry that the light would be revealed.

This action, this force... Why is it so familiar?

Xiao Han vaguely felt that there was a familiar smell in this small space, but because of the sudden incident, his memory was broken, which made him unable to say anything at all. The person behind him was still increasing his strength.

Just when he wanted to kick the person behind him with his feet, the man seemed to know his intention and instantly let go of his movements.

"You finally found it?"

Just as Xiao Han wanted to pick up the wooden stick at his feet to defend himself, the man behind him let out a string of silver bells laugh.

Hoarse voice, Xiao Ling'er?

No, this sound-

Xiao Han finally remembered it. After he turned his head and looked at the guy behind him who was imprisoning him, Xiao Han remembered everything.

No wonder there is a strange and familiar smell here. It is indeed Qi Ling, but isn't she already dead?

"Aren't you dead?"

"Diet? Are you talking about the corpse wearing a cheongsam and not having a head yet?" Qi Ling in front of him chuckled a few times and pointed to the corner behind Xiao Han. "That's just some research supplies for biology research. How could I die? After all, I am a well-known female anchor in the wilderness survival!"

Looking behind Qi Ling's finger, Xiao Han saw many people in glass cabinets... It should not be said to be corpses, it should be said to be biological research on human bodies.

"We are now in the basement of the cruise ship, and I found some distribution maps of this cruise ship here."

"It is said to be a cruise ship for tourists to visit. In fact, this cruise ship was originally the only means of transportation for some researchers to go out for inspection. Before the gold coins were bought, all the experimental equipment was moved to this basement. It is really sad to say that because all the steps of the previous experiment were wrong, the experiment was forced to be terminated, and the original owner would sell the cruise ship."

Qi Ling took out a heavy notebook from the desk drawer next to him and handed it to Xiao Han.

"What I just said was found from this notebook, which should be the previous group of guests, that is, the notebook that researchers forgot here."

"What does that have to do with us?" Xiao Han interrupted.

"Don't talk for now. Do you know what their research is?" Qi Ling saw the young detective shook his head, smiled slightly, and took out a stack of packages from another drawer, "Open and take a look, this is the research result they got."

Xiao Han looked at Qi Ling suspiciously, and carefully took it. After taking it apart, Xiao Han saw a familiar face.

Wait, what is this?

After unfolding this really "one" face, Xiao Han discovered that it seemed to be a very strange thing.

"This is?"

"I'm surprised right? I was also surprised at first. You're right. What this group of researchers is studying human skin masks on this cruise ship." Qi Ling casually flirted with the packages. "As for why these human skin masks contain our faces, I don't know this. Maybe the organizer deliberately arranged it in this basement."

"Then how did you find this basement?"

"Didn't you see the message I left for you? Combined with that note, it's the clue this organizer wants to give us."

message?

Xiao Han remembered that he found it in Qi Ling's room, which was [stairs].

And that note...

Xiao Han took out the crumpled note from his pocket. The eight sentences on it were still in front of him, and he still couldn't figure it out.

"The girl who travels with red and pink is new, and the fragrant wheels are sending the scene. She looks for the land in secluded place. The autumn wind is sleeping under the mound, and the heart is in the orchid room. The spring breeze is unique. How can I answer Chang Nian? I look at the graves in a table."

What does this have to do with stairs?

"I've tried to translate before..." Xiao Han murmured in a low voice.

"Did you not learn Chinese well? Well? Little detective?" Qi Ling took the note with one hand. "When I saw this sentence, I discovered that these poems were completely extracted from some other poems and then put them together. In more professional terms, this is the stitching monster."

“Patched together?”

"Yes, for example, this first sentence, the Younn Hong Fanxin, comes from Meng Jiao's "Songhe Song·Three Miscellaneous Poems"; for example, this sentence, the autumn wind is sleeping under the wind, comes from Yao He's "Sending the Monk to Moran". In this way, this poem is not a poem specially written by the organizer to give us clues. He just wants to spell the sentence!"

"Songshou?" Xiao Han was puzzled. He had not figured out what Qi Ling said just now. Now there is another new term, which is naturally in vain.

"It is to use a certain word in these verses to form a sentence, and the clues that I leave to you are the clues I found."

Seeing that Xiao Han was still confused, Qi Ling sighed, picked up a pen from the desk, copied the verses on the back of the paper, but they were just copied vertically, and then circled some of the words on these verses with the pen.

"When you come here, you should see that the stairs of this cruise ship are spiral stairs, and the characteristic of spiral stairs is spiral. If they are reflected on paper, that is, in two-dimensional space, it is the order of 1234543212345, so the clues given to us by the organizer this time are sorted."

Qi Ling explained and drew circles. In Xiao Han's eyes, some clueless words were presented in front of him.

"Travel, wheel, ground, down, room, have, answer, answer."

Xiao Han read out word by word, circled out all eight words, and Xiao Han was stunned. It turned out that this is what the stairs meant!?

"What's wrong with Xiao Ling'er?"

Xiao Han suddenly realized that the series of movements, hoarse voices, and temperaments that were different from yesterday. Now it seems that it was Qi Ling who was wearing Xiao Ling'er's human skin mask to cover it up? If Qi Ling was alive, what happened to Xiao Ling'er? Was she dead?

"Xiao Ling'er is still alive. I put enough sleeping pills in her food before, so she probably is still sleeping now."

"I do the act of pretending to be faked, just because I don't want to be restricted by the rules, making them feel that I am dead. In this way, my range of actions will be larger. Who cares about a dead person? But I want to learn more about the current situation, so I thought of replacing Xiao Ling'er."
