Chapter XX: The Doctrine of Responsibility for Conduct and Lenient Punishment
For everyone on this ship, the windless zone is a sea full of mystery and unknown, and since the sighting of the first giant sea king, this mystery and unknown have all been transformed into a more realistic feeling...... Fear, the absolute fear that life could be taken at any moment.
But even so, no one is timid enough to turn the ship's head, because the fear of the current short-term life is far less than the fear of the long-term life at the bottom.
In fact, insisting on such a voyage does not mean how much courage the crew has, but their disgust and disgust with the original life at the bottom are driving them to keep moving forward.
There are thorns in front of him, but there is an abyss behind him, and even if he dies from thorns, he doesn't want to fall back into the abyss, that's all.
What's more, the journey of fear itself is a journey of hope, and as long as they can survive three to five days, everything will be very different before and after them.
The windless seas are definitely the quietest seas on the planet, no matter how great adventurers will not set foot here, and only the Giant ship sails on the wide seas...... Of course, if they saw another ship here, it would probably be a more terrifying and spooky thing than seeing a sea king.
Therefore, when the Giant sails, whether it is the sound of the oars or the boat breaking through the waves, it is extremely abrupt, even after seeing the first sea king, the crew's rowing movements have subconsciously become more "gentle", but in this quiet environment, no matter how light their movements can be, as long as there is still a sound, it will be transmitted far away.
The crew in charge of rowing on the Giant rotates every three hours, day and night, which can be said to be a great test of human strength and will, the former is not the first, but fortunately the latter is never short of crews. If they lack physical strength, they can only make up for it with "spirituality", but this is not metaphysical, because no one knows how much power can be squeezed out of those thin bodies.
At this time, the crew of the large earthworm had already undergone a rotation, and during this time, the giant had also faintly seen other sea kings in the distance, but fortunately there were no sea beasts closer to the ship for the time being.
But even so, no one can feel the slightest sense of security, and this kind of completely "resigned to fate" sailing makes the crew have no bottom in their hearts. This kind of "heart-pounding" will continue for several days, and it is conceivable that even if they really cross the windless zone intact, then some people will directly obtain stronger cardiopulmonary function and psychological quality, and the rest will directly lose their lives for ten years due to mental oppression...... If you rub shoulders with death from time to time, you will definitely attract death faster.
At this time, in a small cabin of the Giant, Qiubai is interrogating the "Miserable Bear", and with him is "working" with Allen, who wants to know how the teddy bear became a real bear, the white bear has changed, and the black bear and the black and white bear will still change.
After noticing that the Sea Kings would haunt from time to time, Captain Grisha obviously didn't have the energy to spend this kind of thing anymore, and after learning a little about the harmlessness of this bear, he let go and stared at the sea conditions, which was much more important than a bear.
As for Ain, she knew what Qiubai would do, so she didn't want to make do at all.
…………
Qiu Bai knocked on the heavy solid wood table in front of him, and the hard voice refocused the attention of the tossed white bear.
"Name."
He undoubtedly put himself in some role-playing, so I don't know if it's an illusion, and his tone of voice is both rigid and unemotional.
What the? What about scaring bears?
"Why? How many times has this question been answered, and why did it start all over again? The white bear named Pei Bo shouted anxiously, his voice was no problem compared to humans, he used the universal language of the humans of this world, and anyone could understand it.
But it's been more than three hours, and the white bear doesn't know how many times the same question will be repeated in front of him.
"Suspect, please give me your name."
"Name, name, name!"
Qiubai was unmoved, and he had an echo worm, Allen, shouting along...... Bear child, you can really annoy a bear to death.
"Peibo ......"
Pei Bo could only give his name once more as requested, and he had to do so after trying to resist only to be thrown to the ground by the red-haired man in hand-to-hand combat in front of him.
The so-called "man is a sword, I am a bear meat" is like this, but the only good thing is that after being tossed N times repeatedly, Peibo's fear of humans has weakened a little.
No matter how much you pretend to be talking, most of the time you can't talk about "majesty", and the amount of words is negatively correlated with the degree of majesty.
"Gender?"
But even so, Qiubai's problem was able to continue smoothly.
"Male."
"Age?"
"Seven years old."
"Race?"
"Fur people."
"Be specific!"
"Fur people, polar bear species."
This argument is definitely persuaded by Qiubai on Peibo's head, the fur polar bear species...... There is certainly no such statement in his old home.
"That's how a 7-year-old polar bear looks?" Immediately afterwards, Qiubai taunted the bear with the same thing for the Nth time, and his eyes probably said "You are a real chicken and a shame on the polar bear".
This made Pei Bo a little reluctant to bare his teeth, but no, he had to be patient...... Impulsiveness is the devil.
Although it is indeed very small, it should not be compared to the growth rate of humans or polar bears, and when it is time to grow up, it will run very quickly...... He had explained it this way, but Mao had no effect.
Because the red fur only agrees with his own statement.
"Origin?" Qiubai asked again.
It's strange that the other party can understand such a high-end question about a bear! However, Pei Bo understood, because he had really been bombarded with the same question in turn I don't know how many times.
"Zhuo Wu, the Furry Principality."
"What year, month, and by what means, for what purpose?"
"I said it! I was caught by this imp! I didn't have any purpose, I just pretended to be a doll so as not to cause a riot! ”
In fact, he hid it out of fear of humanity.
"So...... Did you accidentally fall into the sea from the butt of that giant elephant named 'Zhuo Wu'? And then you can't go back? Don't polar bears have the ability to climb? ”
“……”
Another wave of taunts, but Peibo endured it again.
Repeatedly tossing this bear, tossing for the sake of tossing? Qiubai is not so boring...... Well, he's actually just that boring. Cough! But the key point is not here, in this repetitive process, he also has a serious purpose.
First of all, it can be learned through the dialogue that the intelligence level of the 7-year-old bear (fur tribe) is far higher than that of humans of the same age.
And Qiubai's repeated behavior of petting the bear, in layman's terms, is called "taming the beast", but if it is a little more high-end...... That's called "brainwashing."
After N hours of pain, Qiubai finally has to make a summary:
"According to the principle of behavioral responsibility, the criminal suspect Xiong Peibo is fully responsible for the incident of attracting sea kings and putting the whole ship in a desperate situation, but because of your good attitude, we will try to be as lenient as possible in sentencing, and we hereby inform you of the punishment results:
1. Confiscation of all property proceeds.
Second, deprivation of political rights for life.
3. Restrictions on personal freedom.
…… Or to put it simply, Peibo, a citizen of the Furry Principality, will be the private belongings of Whale Island's general anti-target Qiubai for some time to come. ”
“……”
Pei Bo is confused, this, this is called leniency?
Well, he's not brainy.
The crux of the matter is ...... Where does Qiubai get the law enforcement power?
