Charles, who was covered in cold sweat, took a sip of water and looked at his crew. "Thanks, James. ”

The brawny man James had a cheeky signature smile on his face. "Yes, you're our captain after all. ”

"Call everyone else. We discuss what's next. ”

"Okay. James walked out.

"It's finally Sodom......" Charles lay down slowly, a hint of relief on his tired face.

Regardless of the process, he was one step closer to returning home.

"Ahem!" the sudden coughing sound made Charles instinctively reach for the holster.

Standing up, he turned his head to see an elderly man in a dirty white coat standing in the doorway, holding a wooden cup in his iron left hand.

But compared to his appearance, his strange appearance could not be more normal.

The face itself is full of wrinkles, and the whole face is like a mirror that has been broken and then put back together.

On this nightmarish face, two yellowed eyeballs kept fluttering involuntarily, and the gaze inside was a little nervous.

The old man limped over as if he didn't see the hand that touched the weapon, and Charles realized that his left foot was also iron.

"Drink it, don't chew it. The old man's voice was old and short, and he placed the cup in his hand on the table beside the bed.

Charles picked up the cup and looked at it, and saw that there seemed to be some kind of living creature swimming in the pitch-black liquid inside.

"You saved me? Thank you, I thought I was going to die with such a serious injury. After Charles finished speaking, he put the cup to his lips and drank it with his chin raised.

In an instant, a taste more bitter than Coptis filled Char's mouth, and the living creature in the potion had small burrs on the surface, and Charles's throat hurt when he scraped it, like swallowing a stone wrapped in gauze paper

"What is this injury, your brain is much sicker than your body now. The old man turned around and half-crouched, picking among the bottles and cans with his iron hands.

"You mean auditory hallucinations?"

"Ha, auditory hallucinations, if you're just auditory hallucinations, I'll cut off my other hand right now!" the old man's voice was full of sarcasm.

The old man was right, the trouble of this auditory hallucinations had changed from auditory hallucinations to visual hallucinations, and all the creatures around him had become deformed, and Charles didn't know what was going to happen next, but it was certainly not a good thing.

Although the words were not good, Charles heard another meaning. "Do you have a solution? Money is not an issue. ”

The old man turned and walked up to Charles, his eyes fixed on him, "What's your name?"

"Charles. ”

"What's the last name?"

Charles leaned back slightly, distancing himself from the old man. "Just call me Charles. ”

The old man stretched out his iron arm, "Rustto Herman, I don't like people younger than me to call me Rusto, you can just call me doctor." ”

Charles stretched out his right hand and shook it with the cold iron hand. "Thanks, about my auditory hallucinations—"

Charles was halfway through his speech when he was interrupted by the doctor, "I can cure this syndrome, the whole Sodom, my treatment is the best, as for the reward, I don't want to reply, I want the black mirror in your arms." ”

Charles immediately understood what he was talking about, and pulled the dead phone out of his arms. "You want it?"

As soon as he saw the phone, Lasto's eyes showed an undisguised desire to possess it. "That's right, that's it, it's very rare to see something like this intact, I want it!"

Charles looked down at his phone and at himself on its black screen. "Why do you want it? You know?"

"No, I don't know, but my perception tells me that this thing is not simple, and my perception has always been accurate. ”

Charles hesitated, it was the only thing he had brought from the surface, and it contained pictures of his family.

It's not that he can't bear it. Instead, he'd heard some rumors that some guys on the mysterious side could curse the original owner with objects, and God knows what this guy would do if he took the phone.

Just as Charles was thinking about it, the door was pushed open, and the crew of the narwhal rushed over excitedly, and Lily jumped directly on him.

"Captain, you're awake!"

"Mr. Charles!"

"It's great that you're okay, Captain. ”

Charles looked at Rustto Herman, who had exited the crowd.

"Doctor, I'll think about it again, and I'll let you know when it's decided. Charles put his phone back in his pocket.

Rustto glanced at everyone and limped outside. "Better hurry, I don't care, your head won't last long. ”

Charles looked at the bandage at the very edge, "First mate, crew casualties." ”

"Two sailors died...... , sacrifice...... One, amputated by a large wheel tube...... Others are ...... to varying degrees Minor and serious injuries, the captain is dying......"

It was better than Charles imagined, and he thought that this time he would have to change half of the crew again.

Charles looked around and asked, "Where's that kid Deepe?"

All crew members looked at the wooden door in the distance, and there was a figure on the floor outside the wooden door.

"Deep, come here. ”

Deep, with a blue nose and a swollen face, walked in through the door, his body also wearing bandages.

"What's wrong with your face?" asked Charles.

"I beat it, and this kid owes a beating. Chef Freyan said with his arm in his hand.

Deep, whose eyes were red, knelt directly on the ground, his face full of shame.

In Deep's heart, Charles was almost half of his father's existence, but he almost stabbed him to death.

He felt sad and guilty in his heart, if Charles really died because of him, then he really couldn't forgive himself for the rest of his life.

"You don't have a salary for this mission, this matter is over. ”

Dipper looked up in disbelief, he had thought he would be kicked out of the Narwhal and back on the streets. As a result, he was let go so lightly?

"Remember this loss, don't be fooled by others again. ”

Charles has his own plans, although Dipper is a little simple, but after all, he is the one who taught him, he trusts him, and the crew is easy to die, and he must ensure that the team on the ship is his own people.

It's terrible to have no one of your own on board, and the same thing happens, and the crew with low loyalty will definitely throw the dying captain off the ship, sell the boat and divide the money together.

Tears kept pouring out of Deep's eyes, and he nodded desperately, secretly swearing in his heart that he would never let this happen again!

Charles's gaze shifted from Deepp to the second mate. "Did you take the gold from the wooden boat?"

"Well, Sodom has collected the scrap ship, and the ship has been sold, and the two pieces have been settled, a total of 1.54 million echoes, and the old man has collected 300,000 treatment fees, by the way, there is not only gold in the ship, but I also found some things. ”
