Although he didn't name him, who was the person in Xiaopeng's mouth, even Ah Zi, who was standing on the side, immediately understood.

The captain of the pirate ship escaped.

Although he had never spoken a word to that man, and he had never even seen his appearance clearly, Ah Zi inexplicably felt a wave of disappointment in his heart at this time.

In fact, since he saw that figure on the deck in a hurry, Ah Zi tried to avoid encountering it, and even mentioned the topic of the captain of the pirate ship. But this is not because she doesn't want to get close to the person who has a mysterious impact on her, on the contrary, it is precisely because she vaguely feels that the story behind this person is not simple, and the impact he has had on herself is so real, that Ah Zi has never been able to muster the courage to face the other party.

But now, when she was still hesitating how to pack up her mood to face him, she got the news that he had escaped.

"When? How do people lose them? ”

Tang Yinbrown asked with a cold face, and without waiting for Xiaopeng to reply, he had already taken three steps and two steps towards the cabin below.

Although Ah Zi was still immersed in shock and loss, his feet followed him ghostly.

"Brother Xing Fu came to me to take over and was in a hurry, when I left, I forgot to find someone to help take care of Brother Wang, just now I thought of the time to change the dressing for my leg injury, I was really worried in my heart, I was afraid that I would delay Brother Wang's illness, and what kind of disease would fall on my leg in the future, and I thought that the person was tied up with a chain anyway, and the cabin door was tightly locked, and he couldn't fly out even if he had wings, so he ...... I snuck out......"

Xiaopeng followed behind Tang Yinzhong, honestly explaining the ins and outs of the matter along the way, but in the end, because of guilt and self-blame, his voice was so small that it was almost inaudible.

"How long has it been since you slipped out?" Tang Yinbrown didn't have time to pay attention to his thoughts, and still asked in a deep voice.

"It's just a cup of tea." Xiaopeng said, took the first step to the door of the cabin, turned over the key on his body and opened the door for Tang Yinbrown and Ah Zi.

As soon as he entered the door, Ah Zi was a little overwhelmed by the environment that was similar to the secret room, the light inside was very dim, except for the faint light from the fire in the middle of the furnace, almost no other light came in, even so, he could still clearly see the cross-shaped wooden frame in the innermost part of the secret room, at this time, except for the staggered iron chains that were randomly wound on it, it was empty.

Tang Yinbrown took a step closer to the wooden frame, lifted a section of the iron cable on it, rubbed it, and then asked, "The iron chain has been like this since the person lost it?" ”

"Yes." Xiaopeng nodded again and again, "The lock on it is still intact at all, and there is no trace of being picked open at all." ”

With that, he stepped forward and pulled another key from his waist to open the chain.

"No need." Tang Yinbrown only glanced at Xiao Peng obliquely, preventing him from untying the chains on the wooden frame, and then turned around, only to see Ah Zi standing behind him.

"Why did you come along?"

Tang Yinbrown asked, compared to the questioning and reproach when facing Xiaopeng, at this time facing Ah Zi, there was only concern left in his tone.

He didn't want Ah Zi to come into contact with the dark side of these torture rooms, nor did he want her to worry about the prisoner's escape, so he said to Ah Zi without doubt: "Go back quickly, and rest early after boiling the soup just now." We'll take care of the things here, so you can rest in peace. ”

Ah Zi held her breath and stared at the wooden frame behind Tang Yinbrown for a while before pursing her lips and nodding, turning around and leaving the cabin a little stiffly.

On the way back to the small kitchen, she vaguely heard Tang Yinbrown's instructions to Xiaopeng: "Since the time is so short, and it is at sea, he should not be able to run far." I'll go to Captain Song, you go and call Ah Zhongzhihong Zhiwei and them out, and everyone will search the lifeboat on the deck and all the floating objects on the ship that may be used to save life at sea, and then search the nearby sea area, and report immediately if you find any suspicious objects. ”

Hearing Tang Yin's brown voice gradually disappearing, Ah Zi's footsteps also stopped.

Although the cabin behind her still made her feel terrified, for some reason, she felt an invisible call from the cabin, and she unconsciously wanted to approach that place again.

Even if reason told her to stay away from there, there was a voice deep down that she couldn't get rid of no matter what, urging her to go back to the cabin......

The charcoal fire in the middle still emitted a faint orange glow, like the breath of a sleeping beast, and the charcoal inside clicked from time to time, bursting out a few sparks.

Under the reflection of the reddish light, the iron ropes wrapped around the wooden frame looked even colder, and the orange charcoal fire refracted on the interlocking iron chains was like countless eyes, all of them looked towards Ah Zi, staring at her so that her scalp was numb, her hands and feet were cold, and her body trembled a little.

She subconsciously lowered her gaze to avoid the chain, and swept her gaze over a pile of hay on the ground next to the wooden frame, and finally landed on a shining spot buried in the haystack.

Ah Zi narrowed her eyes, trying to see what it was, but the light was too dim, she hesitated, and finally curiosity overcame reason, she tried to lift her somewhat stiff legs, came to the wooden frame, squatted down, and picked up the glittering piece of metal with her hands.

A key?

Thinking back to what Ah Brown and Xiao Peng had just happened when they were here, Ah Zi remembered that this should have been the key that Xiao Peng wanted to use to explain the situation of the chain buckle, but because Ah Brown stopped him halfway and threw it in the grass in a panic.

Ah Zi put the key in the palm of his hand and played back and forth.

Suddenly, a gust of wind behind her came out of nowhere, and pushed her against the wooden frame.

Ah Zi's center of gravity was unstable, and she stumbled towards the wooden frame, she subconsciously reached out to grab the wooden frame, but was frightened by the touch of her hand and the hairs on her back stood up.

She screamed "ah" and jumped off the wooden frame, her back already soaked with sweat.

What she had just encountered was not a wooden frame or a rope.

It's something alive.

The soft touch with body temperature made her subconsciously rub her fingers, but she was shocked - her hands were covered with slimy liquid.

When he raised his hand suddenly, he saw that his palms and fingertips were covered with dark red blood.

Ah Zi couldn't stand it anymore, her legs were weak, and she sat down on the ground.

At this moment, there was a "click" sound in my ears - it was the sound of the key turning the lock hole.

Then the ropes wrapped around the wooden frame fell to the ground with a clatter.

Ah Zi gasped, raised his head, and saw a figure gradually appear in front of the originally empty wooden frame.
