Chapter 3: The Mystery Man

"There's something that strikes me as puzzling." "Parker once told me that no one was allowed to go on the deck without his permission, which meant that the deck was prone to danger, but in the midst of a strong storm at sea, he, a man with a lot of experience in running ships, easily ran out of the cabin himself, and made such a low-level mistake that he didn't even say hello...... Don't you think it's weird? ”

"This is indeed abnormal, maybe he just suddenly wants to go on the deck to reinforce something......" Zhou Jialiang really couldn't find a better explanation.

At this time, Claire, who was covering Parker's corpse with a veil, accidentally noticed that the other party's right hand was clenched into a fist, and it seemed that something was being dragged in his hand, and he was always full of curiosity, and he vigorously broke the fist - a rag.

A beam of sunlight pierced through the windshield and shot into the cockpit of the "Maria", at this time Zhou Jialiang, who was sleeping on the floor of the cabin, opened his eyes slightly due to the dazzling eyes of the sun, last night's encounter made him physically and mentally exhausted, it turned out that he fell asleep on the ground unconsciously, and now he is covered with a blanket, and Krar is lying next to him, and he is sleeping sideways with another blanket, this guy is sleeping really soundly, it seems that nothing has happened, Zhou Jialiang was lucky enough to think that this might just be a nightmare, but when he looked at it again, the Teramon at the helm and the corpse covered with veils, he had to let himself dispel this idealized idea.

When Teramon turned his head, he found Zhou Jialiang, who had just woken up: "Good morning, Zhou." ”

"Good morning, are you ...... Haven't slept all night? ”

"It's okay, I'm used to staying up late, it's nothing to me, if I can have a cup of Rexret now, I think I can last another night." Teramon quipped, but it was clear that his face was bad, and exhaustion was deeply written on his haggard face.

"We'll be at our destination in two hours, and I think you can almost wake up that little friend and go get ready together." Terramon paused, "As for Parker, if we can find that island, I want to bury him, and his family, when we get back, I will give them some financial compensation, although his death is full of strangeness, but I still have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter." ”

At this time, Zhou Jialiang noticed that Teramon deliberately strengthened his tone when he said these words, as if he was not only talking to him, but also saying that he wanted himself and Clal to prepare two hours in advance? What to prepare? Whether that island exists or not is still a mystery so far, is it ......, Zhou Jialiang suddenly understood something, if his judgment was correct at this time, then it was equivalent to comprehending the voice of Teramon.

"Hey, Claire, the sun is on your ass, wake up, it's time to get up!" Zhou Jialiang pushed Kraal beside him.

"Uh-huh......" Claire snorted impatiently, pouted her ass and changed her position to continue sleeping.

"Up! - Bed! - That's it! - "This time, Zhou Jialiang aimed directly at Krall's ear.

Startled, Krar jumped up violently: "What's the matter!?" Are we there!? ”

"Not yet, but it's almost time, let's go down and get the stuff first." Zhou Jialiang glanced at Claire.

In the past adventure activities, whenever it is inconvenient to communicate with each other, Zhou Jialiang will use this as a signal - "Don't ask anything, follow me." ”

After saying hello to Terramon, Clair followed Zhou Jialiang to the bilge, which was still the long and narrow aisle, because there were no windows on either side, even during the day, it could only be lit by lamps, and the fluorescent lamps on the ceiling flickered on and off, probably due to the unstable voltage in the ship caused by the storm last night.

The two walked into the dormitory, the same state as when they left last night, they simply packed up their supplies, then picked up their backpacks and closed the door and left there, the whole process without saying a word. It stands to reason that after taking the things, he should go to the cockpit to meet Teramon, but Zhou Jialiang chose to walk towards the other end of the aisle, and Claire followed, although he didn't know what medicine Zhou Jialiang was selling in the gourd, but the trust that had always existed made Clal feel that the other party must have his own reason.

There is also an iron ladder at the other end of the aisle, leading to the stern of the boat, where the lifeboat is placed, and the scene in front of him after climbing the iron ladder stunned Claire, but Zhou Jialiang was very calm, as if he expected it - a deflated orange hovercraft lifeboat lifeboat was cut and discarded aside, and then the rope that should have been hanging on the railing around it was also cut, and those lifebuoys were gone.

"Who the is going to do this?" Claire finally couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Jialiang pointed to Kral's trouser pocket: "It's him (she)." ”

Krall looked dazed, and he subconsciously reached into his trouser pocket and pulled out the rag he had picked up from Parker's clutched hand last night.

It was a gray linen cloth, apparently torn from someone's clothes, and when Clal found this rag, he showed it to Tramon and Zhou Jialiang, because of the sudden incident and the bad weather and the mental absence of several people, there was no time to take care of it, and finally Claire had to stuff the rag into his pocket before making plans, and Telamon gradually noticed that something was wrong in his thoughts all night, or maybe he really felt something unusual.

"So he killed Parker too? So where do you think this guy is now? Could it be ......"

"Shhhhh ”

Claire gasped as she looked confused.

At this time, a figure flashed behind the two of them at a very fast speed, and when Zhou Jialiang and Clal reacted, the other party had disappeared at the entrance of the iron ladder, and slammed the hatch cover of the entrance shut.

"Not good!" Zhou Jialiang and Clal quickly chased after him, but it was too late, and the hatch was locked from the back and could not be opened.

In desperation, the two of them made their way to the cockpit through a narrow passage full of debris on one side of the deck - they had to make sure that Teramon was safe first, and when they opened the hatch, they found Teramon standing still looking at them with an unnatural expression.

"Mr. Teramon, someone ......" Zhou Jialiang and Clal were about to tell Teramon what happened to them, when a slender figure slowly walked out from behind Teramon, the man was wearing a gray linen cloak, his face was half-hidden by the brim of the hood, and he held a bright pistol against Teramon's temple.
