The other man was the boatswain, who seemed to have known about their relationship for a long time, and did not even show a hint of surprise.

He raised his right hand and greeted her, "Wait a minute, I'll get closer." He maneuvered the lifeboat and approached slowly.

Akiri stepped on the rickety hull of the boat and walked to the plank that the boatswain had set up, and after a few steps, she jumped onto their lifeboat.

She looked at the lifeboat under her feet, this one was obviously much larger, and it was appropriate to fit more than 20 people on it.

Among them is a small house-like device, a place to rest, and now there are a lot of materials piled up inside.

With a solar panel on top and a makeshift outdoor stove underneath, it was clear that the lifeboat was well equipped for a lot of situations, much better than the one she had been sitting on.

"I'm scared to be there alone, uncle, how did you find me?" Akiri found a place to sit down and looked up and asked.

"Actually, we found you yesterday, did you fire a flare?" The captain took out a folding chair from the small house.

The boatswain was intently maneuvering the lifeboat out of the waters.

He had a compass at his feet and a plastic chart in his hand.

"That signal flare was fired by Brother Chen, so why didn't you come over?" Qiu Li was really a little surprised, I didn't expect them to be so close to each other.

"The crew argued with each other, and when they got to the back, they were fighting, and when you sent the signal, they were making a fuss, and there was no way, and after driving to other seas, they parted ways with them, and I was with Xiaomao, and they drove the other two away."

The captain took out his pipe, knocked the ash off it, and explained to Akiri.

The captain's eye bubbles were even more swollen, his eyes were squeezed into triangles, his beard was a little messy, and the clothes on his body were very neat, and he couldn't see any embarrassment.

Qiu Li's heart chuckled, she didn't believe a word of what he said.

There are about 30 people in a group of them, and there are only 2 people left, that is, 28 people are likely to have hung up, which is really not an ordinary ruthlessness......

"It's all this time, and there is still infighting, uncle, don't get used to them." Akiri smiled and half-knelt as she picked up a wok on the stovetop.

"I'll cook these days, my cooking is delicious."

"Didn't you hate cooking the most?" The captain came back from the bow and sat down opposite the boatswain.

"But someone praised me! Prove that I'm gifted! There was a hint of smugness on her face, "By the way, did you see the first mate?" ”

The boatswain raised his eyebrows, and he looked at Akiri, "Are you really into the play?" ”

"What do you mean?" Qiu Li was stunned.

The captain smiled and knocked on the pipe in his hand, "You, Xiao Mao is just like our family, you can say anything directly." ”

Is their relationship so close? Qiu Li smiled, "I'll just ask, you said, if such a big thing happened this time, will the shipping company ask us to investigate?"

"I can say it in advance, I don't know anything, last night, there were strange things, there were a lot of water monsters, they are all gone, I am alone."

Qiu Li sighed, "If I say these words, I can't guarantee that they will be crazy for me." ”

"What happened yesterday, can you tell me more about it?" The captain took out two streams of water from under the stove, one for Akiri and one for the boatswain.

The boatswain reached out and took it.

Qiu Li picked the key point and told him what happened yesterday, if they were the initiators, according to this situation, they could give some simple instructions to the monster, but they couldn't know what happened at that time.

She said with a dry mouth and unscrewed the mineral water.

The captain walked to the stern of the boat as if to check the environment, suddenly turned his head to look at her, and his Adam's apple slid nervously.

Sensing his gaze, Akiri paused, took two sips, and put the water away.

"Uncle, did you see something?" As soon as the words fell.

There was a "poof" sound from his side.

Akiri turned his head, and the boatswain's body slid off the side of the boat he was leaning on, and the half-drunk bottle in his hand fell "thump" on the ship's board, and he closed his eyes tightly and fainted.

Oh no, Akiri looked at the captain, her eyes dizzy, and in her blurred vision, she only felt that the other party was standing up and walking towards her.

Her eyelashes stirred, and she didn't have time to think, and in an instant she fainted like a boatswain.

She fell into darkness, and after a moment, she was dazed as if she were in the night. She leaned against the side of the boat, and there were two people looming opposite, they were silent, a lamp with a faint light hanging from the bow of the boat.

One of them stood up, holding a dagger in his hand.

He crouched down, "I want you to be willing to give up your flesh and blood." ”

She heard her own voice: "Okay, I do." ”

The dream suddenly dissipated, and her head and face were cold, and she opened her eyes, and the captain stood in front of her, the basin in his hand still dripping.

"You're awake, it's been an hour."

"Bang," he tossed the basin to the ground.

Akiri was half-lying on the side of the ship, and on the other side was the boatswain, their hands and feet firmly trapped.

Qiu Li raised her hands and looked at it, tied it tightly, her head was still a little dizzy, but after being drenched by this water, the sea breeze blew, and she was already awake.

She looked down and saw that the life jacket on her body was gone.

"What do you mean by that?" The boatswain asked angrily, ignoring the water stains.

Yo ho, this reversal is really unexpected, Akiri looked at the captain, waiting for his reply.

The captain looked at the boatswain, then at Akinashi, who was crouching in front of them.

He pinched a small wooden figure in his fingertips, only the size of his fingertips, and he asked Qiuli, "Why don't I think you're surprised at all?" ”

Akiri: It doesn't matter if I can answer the boatswain's question first, I'm surprised or not.

"I've always listened to you? Why are you doing this to me? The boatswain straightened up and raised his voice.

"I'm confused." The captain ignored the boatswain's questioning, and his face leaned closer to look at Akiri.

"This is a puppet, it can attach to the body of the designated person, without destroying the memory of the other person, so that the person completely obeys my instructions, but ......"

He sat on the board, his belly protruding, and reached out to scratch his Mediterranean.

"At first, you were completely under control, but, from the day of the 8th, I found that the puppet was ineffective."

Akiri thought of the scene when he suddenly met the captain in the medical room that day, and it turned out that he had come to check on the puppet's condition.

He thought for a moment and then said, "I went to look at it, and I didn't find anything unusual. ”

Qiu Li's brain flashed like lightning, so the first mate and the tall and thin man should have been controlled by the puppet.

"It's very expensive, there are only four in total, I've lost two of them, I can't get them back, this is yours."

He squeezed the puppet in his hand, "I just tried it again, and it really won't attach to your body, it's so weird." ”

The boatswain's face showed consternation, "I'm also controlled by a puppet?" ”

The captain smiled, looked at Akiri and said, "Look, it's magical, he's just controlled by a puppet." ”

He turned his head to look at the boatswain, "Shut up and listen in peace." ”

The boatswain immediately nodded, "Okay, Captain." ”
