Chapter 264: Banshee
Gao Qian warmed up the leftover grilled fish from Jiajia's meal and brought it to Franklin.
The moment the plate was placed on the table, Franklin couldn't wait to pounce, grabbed the grilled fish that was still running with hot oil, and stuffed it into his mouth.
High Diver sat on the sidelines and watched in silence as Franklin gobbled it up.
Yellow fish oil continued to drip from the corners of Franklin's mouth, from his neckline to the placket, making the gold medal shiny. The thin ten fingers were like claws, clutching the body of the fish tightly, and he didn't know if it was an illusion of high diving, but he felt that Franklin's jet-black nails seemed to become longer at that moment.
At this time, Gao Qian heard Jiajia's voice in the cabin, he stood up and returned to the captain's room, Jiajia sat on the bed with sleepy eyes wrapped in the quilt.
"Keep sleeping. Gao Qian cleanly pressed Jiajia back into the quilt, and then turned back and said, "Who ...... that?"
The Eyeless Spirit silently appeared behind the High Diver.
"Look at Jiajia, don't let her out of the cabin. ”
The Eyeless Spirit spoke quickly.
Jiajia rubbed her eyes and said, "Lu Mengge said that that thing can't stay on the ship. Big brother, what's on board?"
Gao Qian was silent for a moment: "What is it?" ”
The Eyeless Spirit said a long list, and Gao Qian looked at Jiajia, who was a little dazed: "Lu Mengge said that there are very evil things on the ship, and they must be removed, otherwise we are all in danger." ”
Gao Qian pursed the corners of his lips: "I know, just look at Jiajia." ”
Gao Qian closed the door to the captain's room and slowly walked back to the dining room. The door of the dining room was hidden, and Gao Qian put one hand under his rib and slowly pushed open the door of the cabin. The dim oil lamp flickered, the dining table was empty, and the metal tray containing the grilled fish was clean, and an Arctic salmon weighing more than ten pounds was eaten so that there were no fish bones left.
The high dive gaze swept over the dark part of the dining room, and he knew that Franklin wasn't here.
He walked briskly back to the captain's quarters and opened the door to confirm. Jiajia was still yawning coquettishly on the bed, and the godless spirit stood motionless in the corner like a statue.
Gao Qian admonished: "That bastard is gone, you are optimistic about Jiajia, don't leave a single step." ”
After saying that, he walked away quickly, and when he passed by a storage shelf, he took a carpenter's axe and searched carefully one cabin by cabin, and he checked the bilge and the second compartment all over, and found no trace of Franklin.
Gao Diver finally took the axe to the deck, and he saw the shadow standing on the aft ship.
The wind on the deck was extremely strong, the waves shook the hull, and standing on the deck felt like it would be swept away by the wind at any moment.
Franklin clutched the rudder tightly and looked up at the stars in the sky.
"We're going in the wrong direction!" he shouted.
"No, that's right, we're heading south. Gao Qian replied with an axe.
"We should go northwest, through the North Pole, to the Pacific Ocean, where the East awaits us, the East rich in tea and silk!"
"There is no expedition anymore, Franklin, your Arctic expedition has been a complete failure, and now it's 2018, and we're crossing the North Pole by plane, not a broken sampan. ”
"Nonsense, that's science fiction!" Franklin's modest hair was blown by the wind, like weeds dancing wildly.
"Listen, Franklin, you're dead, the Horror has been sealed in the iceberg for over a hundred years, and so are you. ”
Franklin stared at the high dive intensely, his gray eyes turning black for a moment. "Lie!" he gritted his teeth.
"Kreuz must have sold the Horror, this damned Scotsman, I knew he was going to be a traitor. ”
"Accept it, Franklin, you're dead, look at you now, it's minus 40 degrees outside, and you, wearing a navy coat, standing in such low temperatures, didn't freeze to death immediately? ”
Franklin seemed to have just noticed his abnormality at this moment, he looked at his dark hands, and scratched his pale cheeks again: "No, I'm not dead!" he cried out frantically, "I just need to eat more!"
"What do you eat??" Gao Qian sneered.
"No, that's not me!" Franklin cried out as if he had been whipped violently, "it's not me, it's the woman who poisoned it, that damned, wicked heretic!"
"Woman?"
"No, she's not a woman, she's an old witch covered in pus, a rancid zombie, a banshee covered in venom, she's bewitched everyone, she's a devil, she's a disaster, she's the root of everything!"
"You're saying that your expeditionary fleet was wrecked because of a woman?" said Gao Qian in surprise.
"It's not a woman, it's a banshee, don't you understand?" Franklin stood on the ship's floor, waving his hands at the high dive. A gust of wind swept by, and he swayed, striking the rudder behind him, which spun rapidly, implicating the Horror and swaying diagonally with the stern.
The whale god in the sea let out a long cry of dissatisfaction, and the Terror rushed forward.
Gao Qian also had to pull the mast beside him, "What kind of banshee?" he asked, "what did she do?
"Ella, the damn seductive banshee, her name is Ella. Franklin recounted in the tearing of the wind.
"She came here half a year after the Nether and the Horror were trapped in the ice floe, and she came from the ice, like a poor Native girl, cold and unclothed. ”
"Unclothed? You just let her on the boat, and no one wonders why she didn't freeze to death on the ice?"
"It was Kroze who got her on the Horror, and Croze was the captain of the Horror. ”
"Apparently you didn't object either. ”
Franklin ignored the words of the high dive.
"The girl had honey-colored oily skin, a tight body, and charming eyes like cats, and the man who had seen her body would never forget it at a glance. The crew was obsessed with her, and she didn't turn down, and even the crew of the Nether made excuses every now and then to cross the dangerous ice floes to the Horror for the sake of the woman. ”
Gao Qian listened in silence.
"I had ordered a ban, but it didn't work very well, the crew just went from blatant to sneaky, I didn't want them to sneak to the Horror at night, and give their lives in the sea just for a few minutes of pleasure, I began to discuss with Kreuz if we could let the woman stay on the Nether for a few days. ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Gao Qian's mouth, the seafarers on the two ships combined were more than three hundred, if it was really an ordinary aboriginal girl, how could she hold on.
But Kreuz refused. Franklin said hideously, "That damn Scotsman won't say yes!"
