Chapter 131: Disguise
Marshall opened the door a crack and looked out to make sure there was no one in the hallway before opening it completely. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the hallway outside the door, the candle flame flickered constantly, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.
"Why is this oil lamp so poor?" Robert followed closely behind Marshall.
"Instead of worrying about that, you might as well think about where you got your lamp oil." Marshall didn't look back when he spoke, "Because of the language barrier, there is no point in catching him alive, and there is no way to ask useful words from the fishman's mouth, so if you encounter a fishman, you can hide if you can, and if you can't hide, you will kill it directly." ”
"Hmm." Rob nodded, "By the way, where did you get the lamp oil?" ”
"Do you think fish-people use fish oil to light lamps?" Marshall asked rhetorically, leaning against the wall as he quickly ran to the door of the next room.
"No, then ......" Robert followed Marshall, though he didn't seem to realize what Marshall was trying to say.
"Forget it, I'll be honest, the oil for the oil lamp is corpse oil, no matter how you think about it, for the fish-man crew on the ghost ship, humans are always the easiest item to obtain, after all, they have been hunting humans." Marshall stated his conjecture, but he didn't take the time to verify it, after all, it doesn't matter if you guess right or wrong.
"Okay." Robert looked away from the oil lamp.
"Come on in." Marshall suddenly opened the room and hid inside.
As soon as the two entered the room, Marshall closed the door and said softly.
"Don't talk." Marshall made a 'shhh
Soon, the sound of a clatter passed by the door.
When the sound faded away, the two began to take a closer look at the layout of the room. There is a large rectangular water tank on the side of the room, and above the water tank, there are also three humanoid skeletons, but these skeletons are all missing arms and legs, and the missing part seems to be caused by a heavy object.
Marshall walked into some and found that the water in the tank was not clear, but a little muddy, and there seemed to be something mixed in it, in addition to that, there were some aquatic plants and other plants under the tank.
"What is this for?" Robert gently touched the water in the tank with his hand, but his hand immediately bounced back, "What is this water?" He touched the fingers that touched the water in the tank, there was a little cold, and there was a little bit of excitement.
"We may have come to the fish-man's bedroom, where they slept. These skeletons are supposed to be ornaments for the fish-people, and we humans will also hang the skulls of some animals on the wall as an ornament. Marshall looked at the closed door and had a thought, "Perhaps, we have a way to get through." ”
"What's the solution?" Robert was very curious to see what Marshall would come up with.
"I'm going to make the fish-man into a coat, and unlike the two of us, the fish-man is much stronger than us, and if we hollow out the inside, we may be able to get through the trick." Marshall said.
"Like a wolf in sheep's clothing?" Robert shook his head, "No, it's supposed to be a sheep in wolf's clothing." ”
"Well, anyway, let's try it first, first find a lone fish-man to test, if the other party doesn't find out, then it can show that our plan is feasible, if it is discovered, we will consider other ways." As soon as Marshall's words were finished, there was a clattering sound outside the door.
"Ready." Marshall came to the door, and Robert stood behind him.
When the footsteps reached the door, Marshall jerked the door open and stabbed forward with the long knife in his hand.
Outside the door, the fish-man's eyes were full of surprise, because it was too sudden, he couldn't react, and when he saw clearly that it was a human in front of him, his eyes instantly changed from shock to anger, and he picked up the trident in his hand and stabbed at Marshall. At this time, Robert helped to block the blow.
Taking advantage of the opponent's exhaustion, Marshall twisted his hands hard, and then stabbed forward, and the fish-man fell to the ground.
The two hurriedly pulled the dying fish-man into the room.
"Be careful not to hurt your head." Marshall saw that Robert still wanted to continue to mend the knife, so he reminded him.
After a few clicks, the fish-man is completely dead, although his eyes still reveal unwillingness, but it can't change his ending.
Immediately afterwards, Marshall used a dagger to cut the fish-man's body, and the fish-man's internal organs were completely exposed in front of the two of them, and the fish-man's organs were completely different from those of humans, such as the heart, which was closer to the position of the gills.
"You're tired, let me come." Robert suddenly volunteered at this point.
"Be careful, the blood of the fish people is weakly acidic, although it is not very harmful, but if it is touched, it will still have a certain impact on the body, for example, it will be very itchy." Marshall reminded him and sat down in the doorway.
Although it is a rest, you can't let your guard down.
Even if they have been reminded, it is still very difficult to do in practice, and neither of them has much experience in dissecting this kind of thing, let alone this kind of difficult dissection for the first time.
After cutting some of the entrails, Robert stepped aside, put the dagger down, and clasped the backs of his hands continuously, and soon his hands became red.
"I'll do the rest." Marshall used to cut off a bit of excess fabric from his clothes and tie it to the palm of his hand to protect himself.
During this time, a fish-man passed by the door, but did not notice anything unusual in the room.
"Alright, almost." Marshall put down the dagger in his hand, from the time he saw Captain David stabbed to death until now, his spirit had been highly concentrated, and he had not had much time to rest, and after this heavy work, he felt that his eyes were a little black, and he almost fainted.
"Next, put the fish-man's skin in the water tank and wash it, I'll rest first." Marshall was lying on the ground, and at this time, he felt some itching on his hands and neck, but in this case, he could only wipe it casually.
Robert puts the fish-man's skin in the tank, and it quickly turns red.
"Huh, Father Marshall, I remember when we parted, I accused you of being cold-blooded, and now that I think about it, if you were as obsessed with faith and law as the priests I have seen before, perhaps we would be dead by now." Robert looked at Marshall, who was resting by the wall.
"Don't soak it for too long, you can take it out when it's almost done." Marshall changed the subject and did not directly answer Robert's words.
Robert looked at it and took out the fish-man skin.
"It's finally done." Robert placed the fish-man skin on the ground.
