Chapter 144: Escape from Death
With a plop, the sound of the old fisherman falling into the water came to Marshall's ears, followed by the sound of the old fisherman hitting the water, but judging from the rhythm, the cold sea did not bring him back to normal. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It doesn't last long to be in a state of panic, but in the water, even if you know the nature of water, how long can you live in a coma?" These were the last words Marshall said before he fell into a coma.
The sky is white, and the damp sea breeze blows across the cheeks.
Marshall opened his eyes, and there was no place in his body that was not uncomfortable, and his body was almost falling apart.
He slowly moved to the crowded cabin and found some dry bread and water, which tasted like chewing wax, but his body did not respond to refusal.
"Marshall!"
A distant cry came to Marshall's ears, and it was so soft that Marshall thought he was hallucinating, so he stopped chewing.
"Marshall!"
This time Marshall heard clearly, it was Robert's voice.
Leaving the cabin, he found several fishing boats in the distance, he waved his right hand, trying to respond loudly, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his throat was swollen and painful, and he couldn't make a sound at all, he had a cold.
Luckily, someone found the ship he was on.
"I see him, hurry!" Robert's voice was very close.
After the two boats came together, Robert jumped onto Marshall's fishing boat, "Oh my God, Marshall, why are you like this?" What happened? ”
"Isn't this Old Tom's ship?" One fisherman said, "Why isn't he on the boat?" The ship was more important than his life, and there was no way he could have left it here. ”
Marshall pointed to his throat and didn't make a sound.
"What's wrong with your throat?" Robert asked nonsense, "I'll take you to the doctor first." ”
Stretching out his right hand to block Robert, who was trying to lift him, then he pointed to his ankle, and Robert opened his trouser leg to find that Marshall's ankle was swollen so much that it became the thickest part of his calf.
"Which bastard did it!" Robert scolded.
……
Although the process was very painful, Marshall finally lay down in his hospital bed.
The medical process was not complicated, and it would be more accurate for Marshall himself to ask the doctor for a bandage, and as for the drugs recommended by the doctor, Marshall refused them all.
"Father Marshall, why are you ......" Robert was very surprised, although Marshall had already done many things that surprised him.
"Don't talk about this, I'll ask you to help me find a cane, did you find it?" Marshall's health did not continue to deteriorate, his arm and left shoulder recovered relatively quickly, and the swelling and pain in his right ankle had subsided a lot.
"Here." Robert handed over the cane in his hand.
Marshall took the crutches and said in his heart.
It's been a week since I was rescued, and if I use the medical conditions in this movie to treat myself, I may die here if I'm not careful, so it's better to hurry up and finish this movie.
"Can't get up, Father Marshall, your current condition ......" Robert saw that Marshall wanted to get out of bed, and immediately stopped the latter's action.
"It's okay, I'm almost recovered." Marshall smiled.
Seeing this confident smile, Robert let go of his hand.
"Alas, I didn't expect this to happen to Father Marshall, the fisherman Tom had already killed many people, and the police had found the relics of many dead people when they searched his room. If it had been me that night, you wouldn't have survived, Father Marshall, how did you survive? Robert was very curious.
Marshall stood up, and after a few steps he became familiar with the use of crutches.
"The Veldra Manuscript." Marshall said softly.
Robert's face turned pale when he heard these six words, and in fact, after reading the Veldra Manuscript, he also fell into the same predicament as Father Hall, often suffering from nightmares and his mental state getting worse and worse.
"I'll take back the question." Robert stroked his hair, "By the way, the Blue Pearl's second mate, Ken, wants to see you." ”
"Did he survive too?" Marshall was a little surprised.
"Yes." Rob nodded, "Probably this afternoon." ”
"Thank you very much, Robert, for taking care of me, but I would like to ask you to help me arrange my voyage back to Port Molov, where I am going to see Father Hall." Marshall took a sip of water.
"Is it in such a hurry? Didn't you already write a letter to Father Hall? Robert was puzzled.
"Robert, Father Hall's current condition is your future situation, and the sooner I see Father Hall, the more it may help you." Marshall sighed.
"Well, I can't tell you every time anyway." Robert was a little angry.
"Wait!" Marshall stopped Robert, "Remember to inform Chief Patton that if you can, it's best for him to send two officers to protect us." ”
"Why?" Robert said.
"Have you forgotten Paimon?" Marshall replied, "You should remember why you boarded the Blue Pearl, right?" Paimon is just one link in this criminal chain, and if something happens to the Blue Pearl, we'll definitely be watched by his accomplices. ”
"yes." Robert clenched his right hand into the palm of his left hand, "Speaking of which, Father Marshall, why don't we cooperate?" ”
"Cooperation? Why? Marshall looked at Robert with strange eyes.
"Detective group, I found Marshall, you are really a priest...... "Robert had just said a few words when Marshall interrupted him.
"Yes, but only after I've got the matter at hand settled." Marshall nodded.
"Really?" Robert tried to give Marshall a hug, but was pushed away by the latter.
"Don't be too happy, the things I'm going to solve are not simple." Marshall's face was sad, and he did not tell Robert that the Veldra Manuscript had returned to him, and that when he had woken up four days earlier, he had found it beside his pillow.
"I know, I know." Robert was so happy that he didn't listen to Marshall's words at all, and for fear that Marshall would regret it, Robert waved his hand and immediately left Marshall's room.
Since the Veldra Manuscript could not be destroyed if it was thrown into the Burning Sea, there was no other way to do it.
There are two clues left that I know, one is to investigate Virdra the person, and so far I know nothing about Virdra except his name; The second is to go to the island that Douglas spoke of, enter that mysterious cave, and maybe find a solution.
If the second solution is to be adopted, it is necessary to know the location of the island, and Ken may be able to help me, as the second mate of the Blue Pearl, he must have experienced that incident as well.
Marshall looked at Robert's distant back, and already had a plan in mind.
