Chapter 236: A Coin (4000)

"Gross-"

Yellow, yellow, green, and green vomit poured out of the man's mouth.

All of a sudden, the sour smell peculiar to the digestion of food filled the aisle in a very disgusting state.

Even though the crew had retreated quite in time, the two crew members in front of them were unfortunately stained with some food scraps.

Fortunately, I didn't step on the semi-solid and semi-liquid thing on the carpet, otherwise it would be really disgusting!

They had a look of disgust on their faces, but their identity made them afraid to say anything to the tourist.

To put it bluntly, they are just waiters on this cruise ship, and the service industry itself is like this.

If they provoke some people with great status, their jobs will definitely not be kept.

Yes, although it was quite unpleasant in his heart, the crew still asked with concern.

"Are you alright, sir?"

"Vomit-cough-cough!"

The guest couldn't hold back the discomfort that welled up in his throat, and vomited again for a while, and after almost vomiting almost all the food in his stomach, he finally coughed twice, and said unusually weakly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's supposed to be my seasickness again."

The tone, full of apologies, and very polite.

"I'm really sorry, I'll give you some cash compensation, and you two ....."

The guest looked at the two crew members who had been splashed, smiled apologetically, took out a few large denominations, and handed them to each of them.

"I hope this little money will make you forgive me for my mistakes."

The guest took off his hat and bowed in front of him.

Like a gentleman who feels sorry for his actions.

Such an attitude naturally made the two crew members very satisfied, and they couldn't find the slightest fault - even if they were originally in the service industry, it was normal for them to be treated unequally, but this kind of equal attitude and respectful attitude still made them feel very comfortable.

The unhappiness caused by the other party's vomiting also quickly disappeared.

It's just that......

I don't know if it's a hallucination of the crew.

From the moment the guest began to vomit just now, they felt that the temperament of the other party was indescribably strange, and looking at it, his image changed a little.

For example, his skin, as if it was squirming?

It looks like some kind of creature is going to come out from underneath!

But blink and look again, where are those strange pictures? Just a slightly frail gentleman tourist, and there is no change at all.

"Need we help you get back to your room?"

Pochi asked, looking at the weak appearance of the guest, I am afraid that it will be very difficult for him to return to the room.

"No, no, just go and get busy, I can do it myself, and I have to trouble you to clean up here."

The guest smiled apologetically again, and then pulled out a few more bills as the cost of cleaning up and compensation.

As the guest's back faded away, the crew headed for the next room to be inspected—as for the vomit on the floor, they had already informed the ship's cleaning staff.

"That's a good man, sir."

Said the crew.

"Very generous and very good-spirited!"

"Perhaps, this is a gentleman."

As crew members on cruise ships, they can be regarded as having contact with many tourists, and they think that they still have the ability to see people.

And among the many guests they came into contact with, this guest may not be the most handsome, but it should be one of the most personable.

Like an English gentleman, he behaves very comfortably.

The same is true of his appearance, to describe it in a word from the country of flowers, it is probably "gentle as jade", not very handsome, but it will never look disgusting.

As for those slightly weird pictures, because the duration was too short, and it seemed that each of them could only see it by themselves, they were subconsciously regarded as dazzled, and the crew naturally did not take the initiative to mention it.

"But he looks very bad..... I guess I haven't rested, right? ”

"Very haggard indeed, otherwise, he wouldn't have vomited in the aisle."

"Alas..... It's really pitiful! ”

"I don't know why he's on a cruise."

Most of the crew had a high opinion of the man's performance, and had no suspicions about him, except that he was a gentlemanly guest who suffered from seasickness.

- As for why seasickness is still on this transoceanic cruise, that's not a question they should ask, in short, there should be some unavoidable reasons, right?

“...... I always feel like he's a little familiar......"

Only Pochi, who was the first mate, had some doubts in his heart, he frowned and whispered to himself.

"Like, where have you seen it?"

————————————

"Bang dang!"

The sound of a heavy hammer came from the table.

"Damn!"

Believed to be a gentlemanly guest, he had returned to his room and was pounding his fist the table.

On his forehead and fists, there were green tendons, coupled with the sound on the table, it could be seen that the force he used was not small at all.

also made the face that originally looked gentle and elegant become hideous and abnormal.

Where is the so-called gentlemanly demeanor just now?

"You..... What the hell are you! ”

On the table, there is a simple style of coin, which is naturally not the Chinese copper coin, but the coin used in the Western Middle Ages and even earlier, which is made of a variety of metals.

On the front and back of the coin, there are some patterns of unknown meaning, like a high mountain, and like some kind of huge animal!

But the combination of lines and graphics has a special beauty, which always makes people want to put it in the palm of their hands and play with it.

Of course, it is only similar in style to Western medieval coins, and its true identity and origin are probably unknown.

Even its owner at this time, the man with a hideous face, didn't know.

But the man clearly knows that this coin is actually a cash cow for him!

This is not due to the commodity value of the coin itself, but to .....

It has special abilities!

The man's name is Adelson and he is an internationally wanted criminal.

Just as Elle guessed, the previous murder against Jason King was his handiwork!

The reason why Elle can identify it is not complicated, it is because Adelson's modus operandi is extremely recognizable between a small area of police and criminals.

It is nothing more than cutting off the power equipment, and then taking advantage of the chaos or easily completing the assassination in private.

This method sounds so simple that it doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.

But Adelson's success rate as a killer is high, and he can get a huge bounty and considerable fame, which also shows that this method is by no means unusual!

And it was this small coin on the table that helped Adelson complete the kill!

At the beginning, Adelson was just an ordinary killer, belonging to the kind of little people with unknown origins, even if he was arrested by the police, he could only be regarded as a small fish and shrimp.

At that time, he accidentally obtained this coin during an assassination attempt.

At first, Adelson just thought the coin was particularly beautiful and often played with it in his hand, but other than that, he didn't think it was anything out of the ordinary.

Until one day, while he was playing with the coin, he felt that the light above his head was a little dazzling, and when he was about to turn it off, the light suddenly went out without anyone touching the switch.

At the same time, the things that lose power are not only electric lights, but also the mobile phone in the hand, I don't know when it will also become a black screen.

It took more than ten seconds for the group to return to normal.

To be honest, when this happens, Adelson's first reaction is not surprise, but fright!

In other words, startling is the reaction that a normal person should have.

The sudden power loss of the lights may be understandable, but the mobile phone .....

How can I also have this symptom?

Adelson was keenly aware of the unusual nature of the situation and quickly made a number of attempts.

Finally, I was surprised to conclude that it was all the effect of this coin!

It can disable all devices that need to use electrical energy within a certain range, even devices such as flashlights with built-in power supplies.

Adelson calls this capability an "electric vacuum."

Even if he didn't know how a small coin could do this, that didn't stop him from quickly developing a number of uses for this ability.

You must know that in modern society, people's lives are closely related to electric energy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are inseparable at all.

If the world loses power for an hour, God knows how much damage it will take.

Because electricity is so important in modern society, such an ability to cut off power anytime and anywhere, in some cases, can actually play a very powerful role.

Not only that, but it can also make a limited number of strong discharges, which is enough to kill the voltage!

And, on the surface, it's just a pretty coin, and it's a collector's item that he loves.

Few people would doubt the special effects of this coin.

Just as before, in fact, another wave of shipboard staff had come to inspect his room, but the so-called "electric shock" was not found at all, and as for the murder weapon dagger, it was thrown into the sea in the chaos and would never be found.

Coupled with his superb performance, where will they find out.

Originally, things had developed so far, and it was very satisfying, and then he only had to wait for the cruise ship to arrive at the next port, and then he could go to land for a while with the reward for killing Jason King.

Wait until the money is not enough to take the next order, and by the way, avoid the limelight.

But this afternoon, before the assassination was carried out, a strange voice sounded in Adson's ears.

He couldn't describe what it sounded like.

It's like some kind of whispered whisper, and you can't hear the content of the words.

But just hearing that sound, Adelson felt a sense of discomfort from the bottom of his heart, and he would see some shadows in front of him that he didn't know what they were.

Those chaotic lines and shapes don't seem to be in this world!

He instinctively hated the sound and didn't want to hear it!

But whether he covered his ears and closed his eyes, or put on his headphones and tried to cover it up with loud music, it couldn't stop his soul from receiving such a tone.

After thinking about it carefully, he finally realized that such a strange sound came from the strange coins he had always relied on!

Think about it carefully, some time ago, in my sleep, it seems that there was a faint sound like this, and I saw some vague visions.

But it was in his sleep after all, so he didn't pay much attention to it all the time.

But now, it's not a situation that can be ignored casually!

And, as time went on, the whispering did not weaken, but intensified! It's starting to affect his normal movements.

That's why Adelson plans to make a sudden assassination today - he had planned to do it again when he was about to arrive at the next port, but he feared that if he didn't make another move, this change would end up completely depriving him of the opportunity to make a move.

In fact, Adelson's guess was not wrong.

Because in less than a day after enduring the torment of that voice, he has become what he is now!

The bloodshot eyes and deep dark circles under the eyes are not caused by the past few days, but just the changes caused by this afternoon!

He's going crazy!

The whispers in his ears echoed more and more, and the visions came out in front of his eyes, chaotic and disgusting.

The gaffe scene of vomiting in the hallway was something Edson had never imagined.

Fortunately, he reacted relatively quickly at the time, and when facing those crew members, he was able to make up excuses without changing his face.

[Could it be that this coin has some kind of curse on it?] 】

[Or is there something else on this cruise ship that has made it change like this?] 】

While suffering, Adelson pondered.

And feel like it's possible to do both!

After all, this phenomenon appeared suddenly, and it had never happened before in previous assassination attempts.

[But..... What is it exactly? 】

Adelson gritted his teeth fiercely, but couldn't figure it out.

[No, we have to solve this situation quickly!] 】

Until now, Adelson had never thought about throwing a coin into the ocean, it was his cash cow! For an incomparably money-hungry killer, how could he give up so easily!

Adelson walked into the bathroom and rubbed his face vigorously with cold water, trying to sober himself up in this way.

It's just that he didn't notice that in the mirror, his skin was trembling, and his facial features were strangely distorted, as if he was ...... Another being has taken over this body!

Following a gut feeling, Adelson walked out the door.....
