Volume 1 The Investigator Chapter 7 Strange Things on the Landlubber

The night sky, dotted with stars, the Milky Way is like a fine piece of quicksand lying in the blue sky, the sea does not sleep with waves lapping the hull, the stirred up layers of waves with silver-white waves swept over the side of the ship, converging the turbulent waves at the stern, leaving a shining ribbon, the water belt expands to the distant sea, flooding thousands of acres of waves.

Leon walks up to deck accompanied by Joe, an old steamship that looks a little similar to the Titanic in the movie, but with a tonnage ten times smaller.

There were six crew members on the deck busy, apparently cleaning the deck.

Lauren was among them, directing them to work.

On the left is the corridor that leads to the morgue, and on the right is another corridor that leads to the other functional cabins.

The superstructure behind him was lined with cabins for various purposes, except for the first floor, where the doors were closed, and the doors of the other cabins were open, revealing a dim light from the inside out.

In the cabin on the top floor, a tall, muscular seaman is at the helm of the ship. Serge stood beside the seafarer and looked into the distance, his expression was a little complicated, and the rabbit-eared cat number 7374 was lying on the broad shoulders of his master as always.

The sea breeze is gentle, and it is very comfortable.

Leon felt life at sea for the first time, and he subconsciously opened his arms and let the sea breeze blow on his face, enjoying the comfort brought by the sea breeze.

Suddenly, a strange whisper appeared in my ear again.

Unlike the previous ones, this time the murmur was mixed with crystal clear music, like a bell, like a bell, and the sound became louder and louder, even drowning out the whispering.

The sound was irresistible, as if it had a supernatural power that made the mind intoxicated.

The voice has a mystical charm that seems to transport you to another world, a world that belongs only to one person.

Leon only felt that his consciousness was gradually in a trance, sleepiness hit, and when he saw that his eyelids were about to give up resistance, a warmth burst out from his body, violently dispersing the strange murmuring sound, and the trance consciousness returned again, and his gaze stayed on the closed door at some point.

"That's the captain's room, and the Sloper captain is in it, so don't bother him if there's nothing to do." Joe's remark reinvigorates Leon's consciousness completely.

Leon withdrew his gaze, moved to Joe, and asked tentatively, "You didn't hear any strange sounds?" ”

"Did you hear that? Mr? Qiao looked a little abnormal, and hurriedly asked.

"Yes, it's a strange sound, like a piece of music, but you can't hear the melody." Leon described it simply.

Hearing this, Joe did not respond immediately, but looked around nervously, and saw that the crew on the deck were still busy with their own affairs, and said reassuringly, "Strange, why are you the only one who heard it this time?" This voice has been around for a long time, and every time it appears, a crew member goes crazy and turns into a monster, and the first mate of Ji Ke has been investigating for a long time but has not been able to find the source of this voice. ”

Leon was a little puzzled, wasn't this voice coming from the captain's room? How could it not be detected?

"The first mate didn't check the captain's room?"

"Of course, I checked, a week ago, Captain Sloppie had everyone check his room, and there was nothing out of the ordinary...... What could a Sloper Captain do? ”

"Hey, Joe! What are you two gossiping, get over and get to work! "Lauren didn't come to the two of them at any time," said the first mate Gico, you kid was playing dead just now, and the scene of you turning into a monster is just an illusion, although I don't know what method you used! But stop playing tricks and tricking Lao Tzu. ”

I don't know about Gico either. What else did Serge say to Lauren, who had lost her previous fear and cowardice, and had returned to her old ways, commanding the others with arrogance.

Of course, he will never have rum in his hands.

"Lauren, Mr. Leon is the foreign affairs investigator of the Campura Daily Society, and he has come to us to record the monthly investigative magazine, will it be ...... for him to work" Joe is now on his side all the time, and he didn't even give Leon a chance to reply.

"You kid have stiff wings? Protecting him like this? Don't think that if you hit Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will be afraid of you, Lao Tzu is a boatswain, you have to listen to me when you get to the deck, no matter what kind of investigator he is, now the landlubber is short of people, he must work. Lauren rolled up the sleeves of her linen jacket to reveal her strong arms, and the atmosphere was momentarily wrong.

Leon didn't want to cause more trouble, so he was separated between the two, "Okay, okay, I'll help you work." ”

"That's pretty much it! You let Joe take you to Kumaz, and the right deck will be cleaned by you, clean up, don't be lazy! Lauren took a bite off the wooden cap of the bottle and glared at Joe, holding the cap in his mouth and walking towards the cabin hallway.

The two arrived on the bow deck, and Joe greeted the other crew members one by one, but the crew members did not respond, and were busy with their own work.

Jo handed a strip of soaked gray cloth to Leon, "Sir, just make a show, and I'll take care of the rest." ”

"Joe, isn't this the investigator who came back to life?"

Leon, who took the strip of cloth, followed the voice, only to see a shirtless white-bearded man walking over with a mop covered in water.

"Kumaz, do your job well, don't come to trouble, the first mate who didn't take care of 7374 shouldn't have looked for you yet, right?" Joe was on his side again.

The play in the Land of Destiny has accepted a good little brother, seeing Qiao's quick reaction three times and twice, Leon couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Shit, don't mention that immature beast, I'll just take a nap and it will slip away." Kumaz threw the mop on the ground and swept it, white foam immediately stained the deck, and continued to mutter: "Don't look at it so honest with First Officer Gico now, since this little beast slipped into the captain's room a week ago and was caught, it has tried to get into the captain's room." ”

Leon wiped the foam from the ground as he answered, "You haven't seen the captain in a week?" ”

"No, the captain hasn't been out of the captain's room since he led us into the waters a week ago." Kumaz looked at the closed captain's room in the distance, glanced at Joe who was doing things, and whispered: "Oh~ Poseidon is above, I heard Lauren say that Captain Sloopai is crazy, he saw it with his own eyes, hey~ This thing can't be heard by Joe, this kid was raised by the captain, he doesn't allow others to say that the captain is crazy!" ”

"Crazy?" Leon stopped what he was doing and rolled up his fallen sleeve again.

"Have you ever heard that weird music? Hmm~ You should have heard it, you have been on this ship for a month. Kumaz replied.

It seems that the eldest brother does not know about his amnesia.

Thinking about it now, Leon vaguely remembers why he got on this ship in the first place.

He works for the Kampra Daily Agency, and is a foreign affairs investigator, which is equivalent to a newspaper reporter in the former society.

A month earlier, the company had received a commission from a client to document the voyage aboard the landlubber, and the task fell to Lyon, who was said to be a best-selling novelist in the kingdom.

Good fellow, shouldn't this work of gathering inspiration be done by yourself? Still need someone to do it for you?

Leon complained to himself as he replied to Kumaz: "Well, yes, I heard that. “

Kumaz continued to keep his voice low: "A week ago, when that voice appeared, one of the crew members suddenly went crazy and turned into a monster, and when the captain cut off half of the crew's head, Lauren was there, and he said that the captain's expression was almost distorted, his eyes were bloodshot, and he laughed madly when he stepped on the corpse! The words were spoken in language that we had never heard before, and that was when we checked the captain's quarters, but nothing was out of the ordinary, and from that day on, the captain locked himself in the captain's quarters and never came out again......"

Kumaz was still whispering the situation, but Leon turned his gaze to the captain's room, he was sure that there must be something in the captain's room!

The feeling in Lyon is very strong!
