Chapter 62: The Murderer
I was shocked, there was a slight scar on my neck, it was probably strangulation, but at this time, Jenny woke up, we had to put this matter down, Li Xin gave Jenny an injection, and gave her a little water, she recovered, and her face looked better than before.
And Jiao Ba suddenly asked at this time, "Brother Changshan, what you just showed was a golden body protector?" ”
Chang Shan's hair has turned gray, and he has never recovered, but his eyes are no longer flashing with golden light, but the others look tired, as if they have collapsed, their faces are sallow, and the whole person seems to have lost a lot of weight.
He chuckled, "What is not golden, it's just that the potential has suddenly exploded." This sentence is too fake, so many of us are facing death at the same time, it can be said that everyone has exploded their greatest potential, but who will be like him, can burst out with such great ability, it is simply impossible.
Mai Lao turned around at this time and shone Chang Shan with a flashlight, "Yo, your hair is actually white?" It seems that the potential has exploded a lot. ”
His words sounded weird, obviously with good intentions, Chang Shan just sneered, and didn't answer him, I suddenly felt that our team was cracking, and it was peaceful on the surface, but it was actually a hypocritical pretence.
Jiao Ba asked again, "You don't have to lie to me, what am I doing, you know, I'm very sure, that is the golden body protector, are you a Buddhist family?" Or is it a Taoist? ”
Chang Shan was a little impatient, "Jiao Ba, in fact, you are a very good person, but there is a problem, your mouth is too broken, you shouldn't ask, don't ask." ”
Jiao Ba looked at him, stunned and didn't say a word, but Mai Lao said again, "I just found out that Chang Shan, you are also a capable person." ”
"Stop, I'm no match for you, I'm a sailor, don't make me so complicated, if Jenny is okay, then let's go." Chang Shan said with a cold face, but even if he was hiding it, it was useless, the facts were already in front of him.
A few of us looked at each other, meaning or don't ask, since people don't want to say, it's best not to talk too much, and after Jenny is fully sober, our group set out on the journey again, only this time, our personnel are much less, Martin's people have been wiped out, none of them are alive, and our side has also lost steamed buns, the casualties are simply too heavy, since we came here, our people have been decreasing, so far, counting steamed buns, we have died nine people, and nine people's lives have been ended here.
When I think about it, in addition to my heartache, I feel more fear, I even feel that someone will die, maybe Jiao Ba, maybe Li Xin, or maybe me, in short, this feeling is very strong, as if death is following us, and it will kill us anytime and anywhere, and we are also walking towards hell step by step, just like the point of no return, only a one-way ticket......
This passage seems to be a semicircle, we are obviously turning, just a few steps away, Jiao Ba suddenly touched me, I looked at him sideways, he quietly glanced at me, and then slowed down the pace, I knew he had something to tell me, I also deliberately slowed down, and pretended to be very tired, listlessly said, "I'm so tired, I feel like my legs can't move." ”
Li Xin hurriedly turned around and asked, "It doesn't matter to the two of you, right?" Why don't we take a break, I don't think you two look very good. ”
Li Xin's girl is really powerful, she has been following closely all the way to now, it can be seen from one point that her strength is definitely above Jenny, Jiao Ba is currently at the back of the team, he can pretend better than me, he is already dragging the ground with two feet, as if he is locked by chains under his feet.
"No, I'll just drink some water, you go yours, don't worry about me, I'll follow soon." I slowed down a little more, and took the water bottle out of my backpack and gulped it down, and I was indeed a little thirsty.
Li Xin saw that there was nothing wrong with the two of us, so he turned around and continued to walk forward, Jiao Ba walked behind me at this time, the two of us are now at the back of the line, but the distance is not far, if the distance is too far, it will be easy to arouse suspicion.
"Brother Yi, the death of Martin and Shaoyu was done by Mai Lao." Jiao Ba got straight to the point and said in the smallest voice in my ear.
I heard it clearly, although I had a certain amount of preparation in my heart, but when I really heard this, I was still a little shocked, and I whispered with a side face, "Are you sure?" ”
Jiao Ba glanced at the person in front of him, and said with a cold face, "Sure, he definitely did it, don't you also suspect him?" ”
Jiao Ba's insight is still so sensitive, he can even guess what I think, it's really terrifying, I said quietly, "Suspicion is suspicion, but there is no evidence, but Mai Lao has been quite strange recently, his words are too watery, and his eyes have become very cold." ”
Jiao Ba gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, you may not have noticed, when he was examining Martin and Shaoyu, there was a very subtle movement, it was this action that killed the two of them, otherwise how could they both die at the same time, this old thing has already begun to start." ”
"Got it? What do you mean, "I suddenly felt cold sweat all over my body, could it be that Mai Lao wants to kill us?" But it's not right, if he wants to kill all of us, how can he break the stone gate to save us? It seems a bit unreasonable, and the reason is far-fetched.
"I sue your brother, Mai Lao, he is the cat-eyed man in black, the reason why he doesn't kill us is because we are still useful, Martin and Shaoyu are just burdens, so he wants to get rid of them." Jiao Ba's eyes lit up, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.
It's not the first time he's said this to me, since we left the ghost island, he told me once on Martin's ship, but it was all Jiao Ba's speculation at the time, and I didn't take it too seriously, but what happened on the ghost island, Mai Lao is indeed very suspicious.
The most important thing is that he disappeared in the cave of Ghost Island for a while, and during the time he disappeared, it coincided with the appearance of the man in black, and now the deaths of Martin and Shaoyu were only discovered after his examination, even if the things on Ghost Island were a coincidence, so what about this time? Could it be a coincidence?
I think it's definitely not, how can there be so many coincidences at all, Jiao Ba saw that he had a subtle movement, Li Xin also saw that Martin and Shaoyu had scars on their necks, even if Jiao Ba lied and lied to me, but Li Xin wouldn't, the two just matched, and Li Xin seemed to be suspicious of Mai Lao before, she didn't say anything, she must have dared not say it, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
Combined with Mai Lao's recent strange signs, as well as the murderous aura that accompanies him, this fully shows that Mai Lao has begun to change, and there is no need to deliberately hide it anymore, after all, we have come to this last stop, and there is no turning back.
"Damn, if that's the case, then it's going to be troublesome, we have to strike first, if we wait for him to attack, we'll die." I was trembling all over, it turned out that this Grim Reaper had really been hovering around us.
Jiao Ba pressed my arm hard, "Shhh Don't be impulsive, we can't do it yet, I guess he will take us to the main tomb, and when we find the main tomb, the truth will naturally be revealed, and it will not be too late for us to do it then. ”
"When it's time to do it? Are you sure? If he really is the man in black, you and I are not his opponent combined. "I know very well the strength of the man in black, and the battle with the old man on the ghost island is a thorough understanding, we are not on the same level as him at all, and it is a day and a place to say something ugly.
Jiao Ba shook his head, "At any time, we are not sure, but if we do it now, we will have lost all our efforts, at least until we unlock the secret of this nautical chart, and at that time, even if we don't do it, he will take the initiative to find us." ”
I was thinking back to what had happened since I went to sea, and I remember everything clearly, just like the movie clips that were showing back and forth in my mind, I was trying to find out all the flaws in the problem, although many things have loopholes, but I have to say that Mai Lao is quite clever in hiding, so far, we don't have enough evidence to prove that he is the cat-eye man in black.
But the facts are also in front of you, the deaths of Martin and Shaoyu are directly related to him, and he can't get rid of it, so who will be the other hermit in black? When we find the tomb, will he show up again?
"You're right, if he wants to kill us, we won't be able to escape, eighth, since you are so good at analyzing, then you analyze and analyze, who is this other hermit in black?" I glanced at Jiao Ba, and I always felt that he was the hermit in black.
"Hermit in black? How do I know, I haven't even met him, and you seem to be a little eyebrow-raising when you hear you? Jiao Ba took a sip of water, looked sideways at me and asked.
I didn't speak, but stared at him, hoping to find a flaw in his expression, but unfortunately Jiao Ba was too calm, he was almost expressionless, and I couldn't see anything.
But what happened at that time, I thought about it repeatedly, when I entered the cabin, I happened to see two men in black duel, and then I hurriedly intervened, and after the hermit in black was scratched by me, he escaped through the window, and the cat-eye man in black ran through the hatch.
I ran all the way to the deck in order to chase the cat-eye man in black, but unfortunately he had long since disappeared, and then I remembered Jiao Ba, and when I returned to the cabin, I saw Jiao Ba lying next to the coffin.
