Chapter 10: Footsteps

Svek was shocked.

"What's wrong?"

"Batu is missing. Just last night, I searched all over the boat, and I couldn't see the bastard, he was a death-fearing ghost, and it was impossible for him to commit suicide by jumping into the sea, but I couldn't find him. ”

Batu was one of the captain's sailors and was mainly responsible for cleaning the cabins.

This sailor, Sweiker has some impressions, like a cynical boy, with an average appearance, likes to play cards, likes to gamble, has a cigarette in his mouth all day long, and sometimes, he will walk around with a cigar in his mouth to find someone to play cards, like a second-class dealer who sells donkeys.

If a ship sailing on the sea can't find anyone, it can only go to the sea to find it.

The captain didn't believe that Batu would commit suicide, although he gambled money, his gambling luck was quite good, he won more and lost less, and he was nicknamed Master Zu.

The disappearance of this ancestor is not a trivial matter.

Of course, what is said here is not a trivial matter, that is relatively speaking, if the wizard is not on the ship, it is an accident, maybe the grandfather was drunk and accidentally fell into the sea, this is possible, last night, Batu went on the deck, and slept on the deck, he said that the cabin was stuffy, the deck was cool, whether it fell into the sea when sleepwalking, no one can say, anyway, now the people are gone, no matter how big the ship is, so many people are looking for it, it is impossible not to find it, the captain did not let go of any horns, or no one was found.

He must have gone to be the shark's cousin.

Beach is a person who likes to draw conclusions the most, whether it is wrong or wrong, throw it out first.

The problem is that no one will believe that Batu fell into the sea because he sleepwalked, which is a murder, and the murderer is the witch Sophia.

Only a sorceress can cast an evil spell and kill a sailor without him knowing.

Almost everyone thought so, and Svek asked Rodin, who was on guard, that Sophia had never left the cabin at all last night, and that he dared to vouch with his life that the witch had never gone out.

Since Sophia hadn't gone out, could it be that she could throw the sailor into the sea across a deck?

This is nonsense, Svecker wants to express a little of his opinion, but Beechcraft is convinced, the wizard wants to kill you, not to mention one deck, ten decks can't stop it.

This made Svek unable to get off the stage, thinking that Sophia did not kill anyone, only Svek was the only one, thinking that Sophia was the troublemaker, all the members.

Satsuma suddenly thought of Jammt.

"Could the murderer be this guy who came out of the sea? ”

The puppet mother categorically denied that Jaimut didn't leave the room last night, and he could pat his chest and guarantee it.

Such a strange thing happened, Svek couldn't find a reason for a while, so he had to say, then be vigilant, except for the people who drive the boat, and the people on duty, you can't move alone at night.

As night fell, and everyone had dinner together, Beechcraft said to Svecker, "Head, I'd like to talk to you alone."

The two of them went to the deck and stood against the sea breeze.

"It's time to make a decision. ”

Sveck was puzzled: "What decision?"

"The disappearance of the sailor is inseparable from the witch, she must have done it, let's do it, if she doesn't die, we will all die, she has evil magic, anyway, she is a death row prisoner, where Xing is punished, why listen to the nonsense of the archbishop, if the human brain is cut off, what soul is there, as long as you allow it, I will wipe her tonight." ”

This guy turned out to be doing this.

Svek took a deep breath: "Beech, before the matter is clear, I won't allow you to come nonsense, otherwise, you will bear the consequences." ”

After he finished speaking, he went straight down to the deck alone.

Beechcraft waited for Sveker to leave, screaming in anger and slamming his fist into the mast.

At midnight, Svecker didn't feel sleepy, and what Beach said was not completely unreasonable, a big living person would disappear if he said he wouldn't see it, and this kind of thing would make people suspicious anywhere.

At half past twelve, Sveker's chest began to ache again, and he wanted to take off his clothes to check the wound, but the sound from outside sounded roughly, like footsteps, and the impact on the floor was heavy after the footsteps fell.

He was currently alone in the cabin on the third floor, and Svek said he liked to be quiet, and the captain removed everyone.

The footsteps of the people on the boat, Sveek could roughly know who was walking after listening to it, and this potential function was brought to him by the body he was in.

Outside, it's a stranger.

But by no means Sophia's.

Sveker blew out the lamp and loaded the pistol, which could hold eight rounds at a time.

With his gun in hand, he crept to the door of the cabin, and listened with his ear to the door.

Knock--- knock-knock-knock, there is the sound of footsteps hitting the ground.

The sound was within ten meters of the cabin.

Sveek held his breath, counted three times, and slammed the door open, and he couldn't see his fingers outside, and he saw a pair of green and faint points of light staring at him in the darkness.

Frightened, all the bullets from the pistol burst out.

He heard a scream, but it wasn't human.

After the gunshot, Rodin, who was guarding on the second floor, Tu Gordon ran down from the second deck as soon as possible.

"Sir, what's wrong, what's wrong?"

They were carrying oil lamps in their hands, and in the light of the oil lamps, a black cat was lying in a pool of blood, with a large hole in its stomach and intestines leaking out, which was Sweiker's masterpiece.

This cat, raised by Toniel, was placed on the St. Gois to catch mice, and this black cat named Jack 1 dutifully worked on the St. Gois for six years.

Well, Sheriff Black Cat was killed by the Chief of Guard.

When Toniel heard the news, he didn't know what to say when he saw that the cat was dead, he meant, Boss, could it be that a cat would also affect the rest of your guards?

Svecker asked the crowd, "Do you hear the footsteps?" Very heavy footsteps, like a super fat man.

Including the six guards, all of them shook their heads, there was no footsteps, Rodin and Tu Gordon they were all on vigil, there were footsteps, they should be able to hear them.

Sveker: "Jamart, where's Jamart?"

Beech: 'I'll call him!'

A sleepy-eyed Jaemt is invited to Sveker by Beechcraft.

"Do you hear footsteps?"

James seemed confused: 'What footsteps?'

It seems that asking is also a vain question, is it his own hallucination? No one else heard it, but he heard it, and Svek told everyone to go back to rest and apologize to the captain.
