Chapter 376 On the eve of the storm
Even for a crew member who goes out to sea all year round, such a large flying fish is rare. And the way to catch is not to cast a net, but to fish through guò, which is even more incredible.
Soon, Leoli and Ogata set up a makeshift stove, and with the help of Kurapika and Jay, such a huge flying fish was threaded on a fork and roasted by the fire.
In order to pay attention to the heat and taste, the captain sent spices and a knife specially for cutting the body of the fish.
Ogata took the knife and slowly sliced through each piece of flesh vertically, then flipped the fork on the flame, adjusted the angle, and continued the knife so that every part of the fish was split in the same length.
From the perspective of others, Ogata is very casual, but the position of each knife cut has a precise distance, so that the dense knife marks can be traced, like rows of lines. And as there are more and more cracks on the fish's body, his hand holds the knife more and more flexibly, and the position of the fingers changes so that he can test the depth from different angles and strengths, and remove some of the scales, so that the delicious fish meat can penetrate the fragrant juice under the roasting of the fire.
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.
Xiao Jie stared at the fish, while Kurapika beside him noticed that the knife in Ogata's hand was a pervert in terms of strength and angle. Ogata's hand was very fast, and the knife sank into the flesh of the fish, and almost every knife cut through the flesh layer just right, and the knife edge was so close to each other that there was no damage.
Leo pushed his sunglasses and carefully observed Ogata's movements.
He was the first to find out that Ogata was handling the fish. People who treat it as if it were a surgical object. If we talk about this aspect of medical theory. Ogata is a professional level. Then, based on the surgical skills just now, Leoli has already decided that Ogata is not a simple doctor!
How could an ordinary doctor get so many shots and still not die? And it's only been three months, so Yan Zhan's injury can actually heal itself through Guò's own recovery ability, and I feel terrible when I think about it, because this is something that is beyond the cognition of the medical field.
When Ogata threw the spices on the fish, the smell of the fragrance attracted the fierce and greedy eyes of many of the passengers on the ship, some of whom had already stood up. There seems to be an idea to snatch this big fish from them.
Xiaojie, Kurapika, and Leoli all became vigilant and looked around.
They are not afraid of these people, because everyone is convinced of their own strength.
"Mr. Captain, if you don't mind, we can enjoy this fish together." At this moment, Ogata said with a smile at Captain Rednose, who was coming from not far away.
Hearing this, the captain did not immediately talk. Instead, he glanced at the passengers on the ship and approached them. said: "Well, I happen to be hungry too, so I can't thank you enough." With that, he found an empty spot and sat down beside the fire.
Leoli leaned closer to Ogata at this time and muttered quietly, "You want the captain to help us fend off trouble?" ”
"With so many crew members under him, it's more than enough to help deal with these 'ruffians', and we don't need to bother at all." Ogata winked at Leori and whispered.
Leoli nodded, he understood exactly what Ogata was thinking.
And Xiaojie, the owner of this fish, didn't think about it so much, he just thought that Ogata was enthusiastic about wooing the captain. For him, it doesn't matter how many people eat, anyway, there are many people, just an extra pair of chopsticks.
Kurapika let his guard down, and he felt that his worries were unnecessary.
Because out of the corner of his eye, the crew of this ship seems to be targeted, and they settle next to these greedy passengers. It seems that if they make a move, they will be the first to strike.
"It's okay, let's eat with confidence." The captain looked at Ogata on the other side and said with a smile.
Ogata let out an "um", and everyone began to use chopsticks to divide the fragrant grilled fish on the stove.
The grilled fish falls into the mouth, and it is very delicious, and in addition to the deliciousness, the heat penetrates into the meat and you feel the freshness that has been preserved
After solving the cravings, only a whole fish skeleton was left in front of him.
Xiaojie patted his stomach and lay on the deck. Leoli was burping, didn't know who he had borrowed a toothpick from, and was flossing his teeth.
Ogata wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and Kurapika seemed to be looking at the sea level with concern.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Xiao Jie looked up at the sky and seemed to find something.
Everyone looked at him, including the captain, who was about to get up and leave.
"It seems that something bad is going to happen on this sea." Xiao Jie's gaze condensed, as if he was interpreting the crisp chirping of the few flying seagulls in the sky.
Leoli asked Xiao Jie suspiciously, "Can you understand the calls of these birds?" ”
"Pretty much understood." Hearing this, Xiaojie replied slowly.
Ogata turned his mind and looked at the captain, "He said that it should be a storm or something, right?" "The ship's facilities are very old, and it is obviously a bit difficult to cope with the baptism of nature on the ocean.
"I'm not sure." The captain looked at the sea level and replied ambiguously.
Leoli shook off the toothpick a little speechlessly and said, "You can't be so unlucky, right?" ”
After the captain left, Ogata and everyone sat on the deck as if nothing happened, because everyone was relieved that what should have come would come, and they were not afraid of such things.
After an hour has passed, we will arrive at the central sea.
The passenger ship was moving steadily in all directions, but some of the passengers on deck had noticed a vision from above.
The sky gradually increased with black clouds, and slowly the clouds shrouded it, as if suddenly from a clear day to night, and a few lightning bolts could be faintly seen in the clouds ahead.
Then, as if in response to these bizarre phenomena, the sails of this cameo ship were connected to the top of the mast. It seems to be shining brightly. It was as if a quiet flame was burning.
"It's the fire of St. Duayr!" Kurapika stared at the burning glow. Calmly explained.
The Fire of St. Duiro?
Ogata was stunned because he hadn't heard of the name. But if you think about it carefully, it should be that there is a certain amount of knowledge deviation between his world and this world, so there is some change in the title.
In his understanding, this phenomenon should be called the fire of St. Elmo.
It is a natural phenomenon observed by ancient seafarers, often occurring during thunderstorms, due to the electrons in the air or electric rain clouds, affecting the electrons on the mainsail. and produce a luminous phenomenon.
In Ogata's world, anyone who sees this phenomenon will not end well, either the ship will be destroyed or the loss will be heavy.
"What's next?" Leoli looked at Ogata.
Jay is not assertive, and Kurapika knows that at this time, it is Ogata who is the oldest, not Leoli, who looks older.
"When this happens, the situation on the ship will soon be uncontrollable, and these guys are no different from ruffians and hooligans. Some extreme measures will be taken. Most of the crew members of the ship will control the rudder and sails of the ship in order to take care of the hull from being blown over by a strong storm. I don't have time to pay attention to them. So in order not to distract these crews, all we have to do is weed out these guys before this cameo arrives on Dorie Island! ”
Ogata's gaze was very rational, and he calmly analyzed.
"Knock out these people?" Xiao Jie's eyes widened.
Ogata nodded, and Leoli seemed to approve of his suggestion, showing his attitude of approval.
Kurapika doesn't have any opinions, and he thinks that what Ogata said is indeed in line with the current situation. And he believes that if the guys of this kind of Cheng dù are really eliminated in this kind of place, it seems that they really don't have the ability to get a hunter's license.
"Xiaojie, if you feel unbearable, you can clear the person you defeated into the underground cabin. As long as this ship docks, then tell the crew to let these guys go. Ogata saw Xiaojie's thoughts and smiled slightly.
Xiaojie is kind, he knows very well that once he is eliminated, it means that among these people, some people will die in this vast ocean.
As if sensing Ogata's words, he convinced himself, and Xiaojie nodded, pulled out his fishing rod, and held it tightly in his hand.
"Hehe, just move your muscles and bones, you can't get used to these bastaring bastards for a long time!" Leoli waved the handbag in his hand, with an expression that should have been like this a long time ago, and his gaze under the sunglasses became stern.
At this time, Kurapika showed off his weapon, which was two twin knives covered by wooden sheaths!
"Is this a double knife stream?" Leoli asked curiously.
Kurapika nodded slightly: "That's right. ”
Only Ogata remains
He slowly removed the leather covering the scalpel, and under the dark sky, the large blade reflected the quiet face under his black top hat.
What a big scalpel!
Leori looked at Ogata in surprise.
Kurapika and Jay stared curiously at Ogata's weapon, because their first impression was that this was not a scalpel to heal the sick and save people, but a sharp weapon to kill people and disembowel them!
"Let's get started! Remove the obstacles as quickly as possible and weed out these people. Ogata opened his mouth lightly and said slowly to the three people in front of him.
Hearing this, they each walked away.
Leoli went to the direction of the bow, Kurapika to the sails, and Jay to the stern
What was left for Ogata was the cabin guys!
On the eve of the storm, in the slowly intensifying sea breeze, Ogata's black robe floated behind the tail, he held the handle of the scalpel, lowered his hat as low as possible, and hissed in the bitter wind, and walked straight to the passengers who seemed to be deliberating on how to deal with it!
"Huh?" A group of three people looked at the black-robed man who walked towards them with wary eyes.
They recognized it as the man who had grilled the fish before.
Now in their sight, this man is holding a strange-looking knife, his eyes are full of indifference, no longer gentle, no longer gentle.
"This bastard is going to do it!" One of the men immediately stood up, his gaze fierce. (To be continued......)
