The old man was rotten all over, and a foul stench hung around him.
He was completely a corpse placed in the cockpit, yet he could speak and smile, and still control the rudder with his hands. Now he was even showing off in front of Jiang Qiao.
The dead were livelier than the living. There really was no justice in this world.
However, after studying him carefully for a while,
Jiang Qiao saw through him.
Although the old man looked like a highly conscious Vicious Ghost, he was actually just like the two Vicious Ghosts at the stairwell—nothing more than an NPC that acted according to certain programmed rules.
Whether it was his expressions, tone, or ability to converse,
everything about him was like artificial intelligence.
He appeared to be responding to you, but in reality, it was merely the result of an "algorithm."
"The combination of technology and the supernatural?"
After observing him a little longer,
Jiang Qiao stopped paying attention to the old man. Since he had said Jiang Qiao could look around and study whatever he wanted, Jiang Qiao did not hold back and began examining the cockpit.
He touched this and knocked on that, pressing any buttons he found a few times.
Whenever he found a place with levers or gears, he twisted them a few times.
As he studied, he constantly observed the condition of the entire ship... Under the "Dual Pupils," this Ghost Ship was basically running naked. There were no secrets left to Jiang Qiao.
So he soon discovered
that there really was a huge crack in the ship's belly, which should have been the reason it sank back then.
But it had already been repaired long ago.
"What's this ship called?" he asked, turning around.
"The Orchid."
"It's called the Orchid."
