Chapter 1129: Engine Room
Ronald and Nicole passed through three watertight doors in succession.
After advancing in a straight line for nearly a hundred meters, they were already quite far away from where they first came down.
Therefore, after properly closing the third watertight door.
Ronald felt the movement of people above him, so he said to Nicole:
"Nicole, we have now reached the lowest position at the stern of the ship. The propeller that powers the entire ship is not far ahead.
" But there was no psychological pressure on him, and there was only confidence in his eyes.
"The guidance provided by the spell means that he is going this way. I think my spell is quite accurate."
This is Nicole's duty as an investigator.
So Ronald didn't interfere much and just nodded to express his understanding:
"Then it's up to you."
Continuing to follow the spell, the two went up the ladder behind the third watertight door, and turned around to find another safety door.
Nicole's eyebrows furrowed as she stepped forward - she didn't open the safety door.
"It's a bit hard to pull away."
Nicole muttered softly, and put strength on her hands.
This time there was a 'pop' sound, and the safety door in front of them opened smoothly.
In the rear, a wave of heat rushed directly to the faces of the two people. This was not because the murderer was performing a spell attack from behind, but because the air in the rear was originally higher than here.
Ronald explained to Nicole appropriately:
"The front is the cabin area, and the temperature is very high."
"At the same time, because of the difference in air pressure between inside and outside, it seems that this door is more difficult to open."
Nicole immediately cast her vote to Ronald Surprised eyes.
"Ronald, how come you know everything?"
"This kind of ship has obviously been built and put into use in recent years. I and even many old sailors don't know these things, right?"
In this world, Ronald Of course, he has never seen these things before. This is all the knowledge he accumulated in his previous life.
So in the face of Nicole's surprise, he just smiled and said,
"You usually read more books and understand the principles, and then you will understand."
"Spare me." Nicole immediately gave up her curiosity, "In order to revitalize the school, the only time I have to work is to fish and study spells. If I add reading, it will be really terrible." Continuing inward, the sounds coming from the
cabin gradually became louder.
This is the world below the ship, where huge steam engines are running, and a large number of workers are working here day and night. Coupled with the loud sound of the turbine operation, the entire environment is like a steel cave in another world.
But Ronald and Nicole quite liked this scene.
Just now, they were walking in a dark and empty tunnel, but now they entered the human world, and the light from firelight and electric lights seemed much more comfortable.
"You two, this is a work area, you can't enter at will!"
At this time, a young man wearing only a 'rag' ran over and reminded Ronald and Nicole:
"Ordinary people don't know this place. According to the rules, it is very dangerous to just walk around, and it may even cause problems for the entire ship!"
Facing this young man, Nicole lost her voice for a moment.
The other party did not recognize her identity as an investigator and just regarded the two as passengers who came here out of curiosity.
The world above deck.
This is absolutely impossible to happen.
Not only does this place look completely different from the outside, but even its essence is like two different worlds!
"Lyman, go to work!"
Just when Nicole was silent, a voice sounded.
Turning around, he saw a middle-aged man who was wearing the same light clothes but was much more sophisticated than the others rushing over.
"They are not the people you are thinking of. Leave it to me."
"Yes, Mr. Orr!"
After sending the ignorant young man away, the middle-aged man stepped forward and introduced himself:
"Two adults, I am Orr, the chief engineer of this ship."
"What do you want to do here?"
The chief engineer is the chief technical person in charge of a ship. He and the captain manage the world on the deck and the world in the engine room. Definitely one of the top powers on the entire ship.
So in the face of Orr's self-introduction, Nicole also straightened her posture, and then told her purpose of coming:
"Mr. Chief Engineer, it's like this-" "There was
a murder just now in the cabin above. We followed the murderer's traces all the way. We're here."
"Murder case? The murderer is here?" The chief engineer's expression was obviously unbelieving, "Our management here is very strict, and no outsider can sneak in!" "Please let us check." Facing the chief engineer
, Denied, Nicole did not give in, and even took a step forward, "I promise it will not affect your work." "
Now, get out of my way."
As a powerful figure on the ship, the chief engineer subconsciously wanted to reject this little girl. requirements.
But he is the chief engineer after all.
His eyes swept over Nicole in front of him. When he saw the brooch symbolizing the ace investigator, the rejection in the chief engineer's eyes disappeared completely.
He immediately stepped aside to get out of the way, and said at the same time:
"In that case, please let me follow."
"I am familiar with everything in the engine room, and I can also help you with your work."
Seeing the change in the chief engineer's attitude, Nicole naturally nodded in response. Said:
"Then please."
Next, Ronald and the chief engineer followed Nicole in the cabin.
They did not go to the spindle room where the propeller was installed. Instead, under the guidance of the magic, they advanced to the location of the steam turbine. Hundreds of coal furnaces work here day and night to drive the core power of the entire ship.
So when they arrived here, the chief engineer immediately spoke:
"Miss Investigator, this is one of the most important places in the cabin, and it is also the place with the strictest management." "I
know you take murder cases very seriously, but here There really can't be a murderer."
Nicole shook her head at the chief engineer with a serious face.
Then she pointed to a worker who was working hard and sweating profusely in front of her, and then said to Ronald next to her:
"That's him, Ronald."
"Your spell is suitable for catching people, please help me.
" Nader has no problem with that.
Because in his emotional perception system, this worker is indeed not quite right. But because Nicole was the one leading the arrest, he didn't take action immediately.
When Nicole spoke like this, of course he stretched out his hand.
Brush——
The thin worker flew up upside down.
He was completely unable to resist Ronald's spell, just like a quail being picked up by Ronald.
Then he looked at Ronald who had caught him. This guy with a dirty face showed a flattering smile: "
It turns out to be you. Who did I think you were? You just scared me!" "
Luo Mr. Nader, we are our own people!"
