By the time Huai Shi and the others rushed onto the deck, not a single person could be seen.
All the sailors had vanished. Or rather, they had all died.
All that remained in their place was a handful of pale ashes and sets of uniforms that were about eighty percent new... Wait, eighty percent new?
It seemed the Investigation skills had yielded good results; Huai Shi had actually found additional information, such as the condition of the uniforms, and even... the composition of that handful of ashes.
Huai Shi put on gloves, carefully pinched a bit of ash, and sniffed it.
Thanks to Van Essen's excellent Alchemy, he almost immediately identified its components—calcium, carbon, phosphorus, sodium, and so on—almost all elements found in the human body.
Did this mean these were the cremains of the crew members?
