Chapter 5 Docking
"What the hell is going on!? Is it worth calling me in such a hurry? ”
Reeves Black, the captain of the Blue Gull, scolded loudly, completely waking up the sleepiness of the chef Jack, who raised his hand and slapped the young sailor in front of him.
David didn't even bother to rub his head, and ran down the stairs with a panicked face: "I only dare to call you!" I don't dare call Captain Black, but this thing ...... It's terrifying! It was the scariest scene I've ever seen. We need to hurry, the young lady with eye disease is still waiting below, and she's alone! ”
Old Jack and Reeves scolded the frizzy boy at the same time, and then hurried after David, and as soon as he stepped out of the bilge, Reeves smelled blood in the air.
And as the three approached the silver-haired girl standing on the other end of the hallway, Old Jack could smell the smell as well.
This reminded him of a nightmare he once remembered, and Old Jack immediately quickened his pace, rushed directly in front of David, and sped to the door of the utility room.
Luckily, the young girl only looked a little embarrassed, and there were a few holes torn out of her sleeves, and there were no exposed wounds. Her hands were still trembling slightly, and when she heard someone approaching quickly, she even subconsciously raised the blood-stained thing on her hand to protect it in front of her.
Old Jack took a closer look and saw that it was just a shaker with Byron's characteristic pattern, and it was not a threat at all.
"It's alright, kid, David called us over. What's going on here? Old Jack reassured him before following the gloomy Reeves into the room.
David stood by the wall tremblingly, looking at the silver-haired lady next to him with mixed feelings: "Seriously, I'm quite envious of you for not being able to see clearly, the scene inside is really ...... Vomit. ”
David covered his mouth and retched twice, squatting uncomfortably against the wall.
Esther also squatted by the wall like him, waiting for the two people inside to come out as soon as possible, and the first person she met was David, and Esther immediately pulled him over to take a look at the situation in the room.
The young man, though immature, was by no means stupid, and after telling Esther to stay here and not to wander around, he immediately climbed the stairs and hurried to find someone who could take care of it. Because he didn't dare to disturb the captain directly, David could only call the head chef who seemed to care about the blind lady first, which was equivalent to finding a shield for himself.
At least not the only one who could bear the captain's wrath when his sleep was disturbed.
Old Jack walked out with a shocked look on his face, but Reeves looked at Esther with a look of suspicion.
Old Jack walked up to Esther and carefully patted her on the shoulder, "Kid, you still had a fight with that monster?" ”
"Hmm." Esther snorted twice, spun her fingers around her head several times, then tapped the corners of her forehead twice and pointed to the room.
Reeves thought thoughtfully: "I probably understand, it's about the same as I thought." ”
"What?" Old Jack didn't understand how Reeves understood.
"Faustino, he's crazy."
"Crazy? How so? While we were having dinner in the morning, Faan was still chatting with Faustino about going to Port Prieze to find a place to spend his time...... Wait, that guy inside is Faustino!? David's face was already pale, and now it was even more bloodless, and he remembered the man's distorted and sunken face to death, and covered his mouth again.
Reeves sighed heavily: "Alas, that doll seems to be the product of some evil belief, Faustino was deceived by someone, and after bringing that thing on the ship, he didn't know how to control it, and as a result, he was affected by himself......"
Old Jack turned to Esther and asked, "Is that so?" When you see Faustino, the mustache, he's already insane? ”
Esther nodded.
"Damn it! This idiot, how can he be so stupid! Old Jack scolded bitterly, "If he doesn't want to be a sailor, don't do it!" If something really happened to this, wouldn't it cost the lives of a boatload of people!? ”
Reeves was silent for a few seconds, and then his gaze swept over Esther, who was not strong, again: "You found the doll, so ...... it Ruined? ”
Esther lifted the sand hammer in her hand, shook it twice, and then pointed to her cuff.
"That doll has a curse, right? Definitely! David couldn't help but interject next to him, "It must be the curse that the puppet brought to Faustino!" ”
Reeves glared at the stupid boy, but did not correct him, but waved his hand at a few people: "You send this lady back to the room, I will find someone to investigate this matter later, and tell others that Faustino fell into the water after being drunk, don't talk much." ”
"That's fine......" Old Jack shook his head with a sigh again.
David nodded hurriedly: "I see, Captain!" Let's go first, ma'am. ”
Esther bowed slightly to Reeves, knowing that the captain had deliberately let go of her suspicions in order to avoid trouble, after all, her actions could be regarded as saving the lives of the people on the ship.
People who have been begging for a long time on the sea are most afraid that they can't be one mind on board, because there are too many factors that can lead to accidents, and the captain's top priority is always the safety of the ship.
Even if Faustino was killed by Esther, the moment he saw the strange puppet, Reeves suppressed all the anger in his heart.
It wasn't a situation he could handle properly, and at this moment Reeves had an idea with Esther, and the matter had to be handed over to an official extraordinary, such as Reeves' own Church of the God of Storms.
Reeves frowned as he stared at the backs of the three of them as they walked up the stairs.
——
Esther followed behind Davy, and Old Jack walked slowly behind her.
David is obviously also an idle person, always wanting to talk to someone about the strange situation: "So did he become like that before you went in, or did that curse hurt him after you stopped him?" ”
"Hmm!"
"Sure enough, it's a curse, I think so! It's really sad......
"Huh?"
"How the hell did you defeat him? I seem to see a broken mop, are you fighting fiercely? ”
Old Jack couldn't stand it anymore and interjected, "Don't bother this girl anymore!" You fool with clams in her head, she can't speak! ”
If David hadn't walked in front, he would have had to get another slap on the back of the head, he scratched his hair and muttered in a low voice: "I just want to liven up the atmosphere, after all, such a terrible thing happened just now......"
Esther's eyes were full of smiles.
Old Jack sighed probably more today than he had in the whole of last year combined: "Well, fortunately nothing of a big deal happened. Don't underestimate any evil gods, David, anything can happen at sea. If you really encounter something - bah, I shouldn't be too talkative, unlucky. ”
"This is my maiden voyage!" David exclaimed, "My mother and sister both went to church to pray for me, so of course we will be lucky!" ”
"Hey, stupid boy." Old Jack muttered disdainfully.
After the two of them had sent Esther to the door, she pushed it open and kicked the wire into the corner before turning around and saluting them in thanks.
"Well, then you have a good rest, and let tonight's accident pass. You've heard Captain Blake, and you're sorry for the fact that it didn't happen. Old Jack tried to comfort people, and Esther could tell that he was not very good at comforting people.
David's words were much shorter: "Good night lady! I'm going back to sleep too. ”
Esther smiled, waved at the two men, and closed the door as they walked up the stairs.
It was finally over, but fortunately the captain didn't intend to delve into what had happened, and for the first time Esther realized the benefits of not being able to speak. As long as you let others make up for themselves, their logic will take care of completing the story, and Esther won't get into trouble as long as she relies on her easy sense of familiarity to win people's trust.
Esther pulled out the blade from her backpack and cut off the cuffs that had been twisted into strips of cloth, and the long-sleeved shirt quickly became short-sleeved.
It's a little cool, but it's better than continuing to hang down the broken sleeves, Rune hasn't designed such an edgy top yet, and Esther knows that her appearance is eye-catching enough.
Even if she gets to Pritz Harbor, where will she go?
Esther retracted into the bed, slowly emptying her senses as the ship swayed, letting her mind sink into darkness.
She was finally able to get a good night's sleep.
——
With the roar of the "rumbling" steam engines, the "Blue Gull" arrived at its destination, Port Plitzer, even an hour earlier than expected, in the early morning of January 3, when the sun was shining brightly.
Since that night, there have been no accidents on the rest of the voyage.
However, before preparing to disembark, Reeves Black also came to talk to Old Jack, and he knew that Old Jack's wife and daughter had lost their lives under the plunder of pirates, so he couldn't help but feel pity when he saw the silver-haired girl.
"Reeves, is there a problem with the inventory list of the ingredients in stock?" Old Jack walked into the captain's room, took off his crooked chef's hat, and grabbed it in his hands.
"No, I want you not to pay too much attention to the lady with an eye disease."
Old Jack was obviously stunned for a moment: "What? She didn't look threatening. ”
Reeves shook his head and closed the notebook for the voyage: "Her appearance is already suspicious, you better not let her have anything to do with someone you know." Remember a first-class passenger complaining that everything in her room was broken? ”
"Didn't she find the money in the house?" Old Jack shook his head disdainfully, "Maybe he just wants to blackmail us." ”
Reeves sighed, "But either way, the lady with the eye disease is the most suspicious, she may have touched the wrong room and broken those things." But why did she go there? We don't know what her purpose is, but since she's getting off the boat, I just want to get her out as soon as possible. ”
"yes, I see." Old Jack patted his head, his expression a little gloomy.
"If you have to help her, I won't stop you, just a reminder. Okay, we can get ready to disembark. ”
Reeves clenched his fist and hammered his left chest hard: "The storm is above, thank you that there were no more accidents on this voyage." ”
