Chapter 16: Discovery
On the afternoon of the fifth day, the pirates finally extended their evil hand to the slaves.
Xiaoxing frowned slightly, hugged his knees, and whispered in a corner of the cage, "What's the matter?" What do those pirates want? I don't want to find the route again and dock early, it's all blind tossing. ”
Although she complained, she did not dare to lash out at the pirates head-on.
Harry closed his eyes and thought to himself that he would be able to leave through the game for a few hours, as if he had nothing to do with himself.
Cheng Mu got the news revealed by Zhou Tang that the captain's illness was speeding up, and he suddenly became critically ill this morning, and he was afraid that his life would not be long in coming.
After the ship's doctor diagnosed and treated the captain with the help of a witch, the deputy captain and others decided to find the real culprit from the slave herd to save the captain and save the ship from danger.
Madame looked sympathetically at the slaves who were called out and sent back, "They are too cruel too. ”
The slaves who had been sent back were more or less wounded, and they looked bloody, discarded like dead dogs, and the smell of blood filled the cage.
It made them very uncomfortable for them, who were already used to the strange smell of the cage.
There was a blank look in the baron's eyes, like a partnership at night, melting in the daytime sun.
The lady looked around the small group, and if they had not been sent to the cage, they could have said a few words to persuade the pirates to help the slaves, but they could only turn a blind eye if they could not protect themselves.
She sighed heavily and closed her eyes.
Cheng Mu's gaze never left the place where the slaves were gathered at night, but to his surprise, the strange pattern of dark red light from the bulkhead he saw at night disappeared.
The bulkhead of the ship there was no different from the surrounding planks, and if it weren't for Zhou Tang's similar experience to him, he would have self-doubt.
Is there really a mysterious witch in this group of slaves as Zhou Tang said?
Zhou Tang felt that there was, and the fat uncle and the deputy captain and others went to interrogate whether there were any hidden witches among the slaves.
And she stayed in her cabin, in the space that belonged to the little boy, and in addition to the gadgets, there were a few yellowed pages.
She flipped through it, and one of them turned out to be a story about the gods of the West.
With a "snap", the book closed, and Zhou Tang's thoughts converged, in the Western mythological system, there are no more gods and demons about the ocean.
The dark red color represents ominousness, and judging by the direction of the whole thing, the slaves should have summoned the famous Siren.
The Sirens used their beautiful singing voice to confuse the passing ships, and the crew became so engrossed in the song that the ships capsized or sank on the rocks, and the crew who fell into the sea became the womb of the Kraken.
The slaves don't want to break the net with the whole pirate ship, do they?
Zhou Tang felt that he had missed some key information, and the intervention of the baron and his party made things complicated from simple.
The baron does not seek death, and the slave has hope and only wants to live, so the agreement between the two parties can only be to let the pirate who does nothing evil die.
But the Sirens attack indiscriminately, so how can a little human influence the Siren's thoughts?
She has not yet explored the mystery, but if she hears the song of the Sirens at night, there is a way to avoid being tempted by hypnosis.
Again, in this dusty cabin.
Cheng Mu looked at the wax ball in his hand, and Zhou Tang explained, "When it's almost time, you first stuff some cotton into your ears, and then seal your ears with wax to isolate the sound." In this way, the chanting and singing are no longer hypnotic to us.
I guess the song is coming from far and near, slowly approaching the sea where the pirate ship is. Today, the pirates tortured and interrogated those people, and I think the slaves will make a big move to deal with it tonight. ”
Zhou Tang stuffed the short dagger into Cheng Mu's hand, "Your weapon has been taken away, this dagger is borrowed from you, if something happens that hurts your life, you can only do extraordinary things."
But according to the nature of the game, tomorrow night is the time to see the poor dagger, and tonight is just an appetizer. Remember that I'm looking for that bug, and your goal is to get the quest back on track and beat the game. ”
When she had said this, she added, "I'm not responsible to your companions!" ”
She also saw that on the forum of the game "Ancient Planet" on the Star Network, there are interstellar friends who ask for a lot of money, and sometimes the price offered is higher than the price given by the game's external restorer, and she has always been insensitive to it.
Seriously, Cheng Mu can easily pull a companion, but he will not desperately save his companions, from the fact that he can't persuade Yu Chi and Baron and others, looking for an opportunity to break away from this small group, it can be seen that Cheng Mu is a principled person, and he is not easily swayed by others.
Cheng Mu nodded, "I understand." I agree with you. ”
Zhou Tang raised his eyebrows, "We'll see you in the evening." Hopefully, find out the deal between the barons and the slaves, and find a way for them to protect themselves against the Sirens. ”
Mike and Rose, who were guarding the lowest level, were a little tired, and the deputy captain also arranged for a few other people to stay up all night to watch over the slaves.
But Zhou Tang knew that these unsuspecting guards would be as asleep as she had been the night before.
When night fell, the exhausted fat uncle knocked on the young man's cabin door a few times, and then pushed the door in.
Zhou Tang hurriedly got up and asked suspiciously, "Uncle?!" ”
The fat uncle said in a uniform manner, "Little Amy, you come to sleep in my cabin tonight." Tie your and my hands together with ropes, and if you are possessed by demons again... place, will also alarm me. ”
At this moment, Zhou Tang couldn't describe his emotions.
For the slaves, pirates plundered the small village on which they depended and ruined everything they had.
But for the little boy of the pirate himself, he gave protection and warmth.
But she was an outsider all along, she didn't want to change the script, she just wanted to find out the bug.
She struggled to pump her emotions out.
Zhou Tang shook his head and refused, "Uncle... I... Being targeted by the devil can't affect you. ”
The fat uncle frowned and said, "What are you talking about, let you go with me, don't talk so much nonsense." ”
Maybe Zhou Tang knows a lot, or maybe it's the fat uncle who wants to find someone to vent the boredom in his heart, "We have been checking for a long time, and the group of slaves is very hard-mouthed, so if you want me to say that it is better to throw all the women in it into the sea."
But Eric was worried, and he thought about the man's promise. The captain's life is almost gone, and he doesn't know who the next one is, but he can calm down.
Fast! Come with me. I promised your father. ”
It is a life that can save your life.
Zhou Tang wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes, but shook his head solemnly and said, "Uncle, I'm not afraid, and the doctor said I'm fine." Go and rest. ”
Who knew that the fat uncle directly picked up the thin little boy with one hand, forcibly abducted him to his cabin without saying anything, threw the little boy on the bed neatly, and pulled out the rope to tie the hands of the two tightly together.
"Sleep! Tomorrow will be fine. ”
