Chapter 123: Trap
"Is he down there too?" Paimon's subconscious expression was noticed by Marshall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Nope." Paimon gritted his teeth.
"Let him come out." Marshall didn't seem to hear Paimon's answer at all, and directly said what he wanted.
Hearing Marshall's words, Paimon smiled, "I don't know why you blamed Douglas for all the murders, but he's really not down there, he's in the cab with Ken. ”
"I don't want to repeat it again." Marshall's tone was very tough.
"If you don't believe me, shoot it. I can't get someone who isn't in the bilge out of the bilge. Paimon was furious.
Bang!
Marshall pulled the trigger, and the sound of gunfire echoed through the cargo hold.
"I don't believe you." Marshall replied, taking a few steps back, closing the distance between himself and the entrance to prevent anyone from suddenly crawling out while he was reloading.
Paimon was lying on the ground with an expression of disbelief on his face, and his chest was a blur of flesh and blood, and there was no way to save him.
He tried to speak, but his throat was full of blood, and he couldn't make a sound.
After two seconds, Paimon was dying, and the promising first mate was killed by Marshall's shot.
"The gunfire is likely to attract the fish-men, but now, at least I've solved one of the three dangers, and from Paimon's answer just now, you know that Douglas and Paimon's gang are also involved in child trafficking, and if nothing else, he is also the backbone of this gang."
"As for Captain David, I don't think he knew about it, and likewise, Second Officer Ken probably didn't know about this place because he was still in the wheelhouse fending off the Fishmen. In this way, Douglas, who has the least authority, is the most dangerous person, not only involved in the trafficking of children, but also a follower of Sagura and Hezerak, and many of the corpses in the Lev manor are probably from him. ”
"It turned out that it wasn't the other party who followed me to the Blue Pearl, so it's no wonder that there was no one particularly suspicious among the passengers like me." Thinking of this, Marshall had already reloaded the ammunition.
He walked to the entrance and pointed the barrel downward, the entrance to the bilge.
"Douglas, come out, I'm not going to kill you." Marshall raised his voice, "You're different from Paimon, he doesn't have any use anymore, but you're different, you have far more secrets hidden than him, so, until I know these secrets, I won't shoot you." ”
Seeing that there was no one inside, Marshall kicked the goblet on the side.
"Since the cup is useless, I'll give you some wine." Marshall continued to do his own thing.
Because there were innocent children in the bilge, Marshall did not shoot at the bilge, and the more important reason was that entering the cargo hold through the corridor is two completely different things from entering the bilge from the cargo hold.
The former can keep the flintlock pistol on standby all the time, and can fire at any time as long as it encounters danger, but it is difficult to maintain this state from the cargo hold to the bottom of the hold, and the result of one-handed shooting is likely to be that his right hand is broken, and the enemy is not hit.
He uncorked the bottle and poured it in.
"It stands to reason that there should be a child's cry inside, why hasn't there been any response so far?" Marshall sensed something was wrong and tossed the bottle aside.
Just as he was about to do something, a fish-man suddenly appeared at the door of the cargo hold, but at this time, the fish-man had not fully entered the cargo hold, and they did not see Marshall at all.
In desperation, Marshall found a random box as cover.
"It's too scattered, it's unlikely that you can kill two fish-people with one shot, wait for the opportunity. Fortunately, now that the entrance to the bilge has been opened, the fish-men will be able to find out, so let them go down and explore first, and as for the children, I can only hope that they will die. Marshall clinged to the wall of the cargo hold and hid in the corner.
Paimon's body is found by the Fish-Man, along with the entrance to the bilge.
Then, Marshall heard some strange noises from where the fish-men were, as if the fish-men were talking to each other, discussing something.
In the end, both fish-men climbed down, and it was difficult for them to fight against the rest of the humans, except for the humans who had weapons such as guns, let alone the two fish-men entering the bilge at the same time.
It wasn't long before there was the sound of something tearing below, then the sound of rustling, and then all fell silent.
Marshall held his breath, "I don't know what's going on in the bilge, but it's not going to be a good thing." ”
"There are still two dangers I face now, one is the danger posed by Douglas, a Hezerak believer, no matter what he is planning, the Veldra Manuscript on me must be what he needs, and the reason why I am on the Blue Pearl is to destroy this manuscript, so there is no possibility of reconciliation between me and Douglas."
"Another danger is the danger posed by the ghost ship, although these fishmen are not highly intelligent, but in terms of individual combat ability, in addition to the use of firearms, cold weapons are difficult to compete with them, the most important thing is that I don't know how many fishmen there are, and I don't know if all fishmen use the same attack method, maybe, there will be an existence similar to the existence of fishman warlocks in the game, and will use other attacks, such as poisoning, etc......."
"The problem is that to destroy the Veldra Manuscript you have to go to the Burning Sea, and to get to the Burning Sea, you have to board the ghost ship, and to board the ghost ship, you have to deal with these fish people first, or, if there is a captive, I can also get on the ghost ship by being captured, but this method is too dangerous."
"Perhaps, I can use Douglas to destroy these fishmen, at least, the power transformed by his knowledge is far superior to that of firearms under special circumstances."
Thinking of this, Marshall came to the entrance of the bilge, and the smell of blood emanated from the entrance, which was very strong.
"Are they all dead? Or ......"
Just then, Douglas climbed out of the bilge, and when he saw Marshall, his body trembled, apparently frightened.
"Why didn't you die?" Douglas was very surprised.
"Why did I die?" Marshall asked, frowning.
"That was the ...... who went down just now," Douglas blinked.
"Fish-Man." Marshall chuckled, "Come on, you're tired of climbing on a ladder like this, aren't you?" ”
Douglas crawled out of the bilge with a black face.
