PNB Chapter 211 Child, do you have a fever?
Chapter 211 Child, do you have a fever?
The amulet at the bow of the ship had been vandalized, and there were even marks on it from being slashed with a knife.
There was no one on the deck. The Evil Sea should have been quiet at night, but Yan Xun could hear whistling sounds all the time, and even red dolphins were attracted by his lights...
Yan Xun turned off the flashlight in his hand. He looked back at the lookout tower and the location of the captain's cabin, and finally decided to go back to the storeroom first.
But then he heard the faint sound of footsteps.
Soon he heard voices—
"How many are left?"
"In the warehouse, and in the ship's hold."
"Collen said to throw one first."
Those were the voices of the crew. They probably assumed the players were asleep and didn't try to hide it from anyone.
Accompanied by a series of footsteps and the sound of things being dragged on the ground... followed by the sound of a heavy object falling into the water.
"okay."
"go back."
Those people continued talking, perhaps thinking that no one else would be on the deck at night, they did not check, but hurriedly returned to the lower cabins.
Yan Xun remained crouched on the other side of the edge until the footsteps disappeared, at which point he slowly stood up.
Then he saw a tiny spark of light—
Someone was standing at the bow of the boat smoking.
He couldn't see who it was, so Yan Xun immediately crouched down again until he heard the voice approaching him.
Fortunately, the person stopped some distance away from Yan Xun.
“Get up,” Corren said.
He stood there, saying, "I see you."
Yan Xun slowly walked out of his hiding place, keeping some distance between him and Ke Lun... The darkness prevented him from seeing Ke Lun's appearance, but he could sense that the other man was standing there silently smoking.
“I thought you would ask something,” Corren said.
"What do you want to ask?" Yan Xun asked.
Corren seemed surprised by his words. He chuckled a few times before saying, "For example, why we had to throw the crew overboard."
Yan Xun thought this was a silly question. "Isn't it to attract those whales?"
“Ah, you know.” Corinne was somewhat surprised. “Anything else?”
"What else do you know?"
“Blue Gold,” Yan Xun said.
"This is something new," Corren said, biting into a cigarette.
He didn't approach. "Is this what the captain was looking for?"
Yan Xun didn't respond. He knew that Coron's inaction wasn't because he was his neighbor, but because Coron had accepted the Blue Gold mission. They would still be useful to this instance later, so even if Yan Xun discovered the little secret on the Terror Ship at this time, the crew wouldn't do anything.
—After all, they had nowhere else to run.
Even though they killed all the crew members and took control of the Terror, they couldn't get back to Cedar Harbour because they had no idea which way to go and no one knew how to sail.
“I thought you would be more surprised,” Corren added, “after all, after discovering that the evil spirit was fake.”
“I read the captain’s logbook,” Yan Xun said.
"In the first year, you did not approach the Sea of Evil Spirits."
"In the diaries of the second and third years, there were many accidents among the crew, but the captain did not mention any evil spirits."
“Only in the fourth year, after navigating a storm and reaching uncharted waters, did the captain say that the crew were possessed by evil spirits,” Yan Xun began. “That explanation sounds familiar…”
"When did you hear of this?" Corren asked humbly.
“When I told him that there were portraits in his room,” Yan Xun said.
Koren genuinely laughed this time, extinguishing his cigarette. "Yes."
"I think the madman is the captain."
He made no comment on Yan Xun's peeping at the captain's log, as if he thought it was no big deal.
After extinguishing his cigarette, he turned and left, saying, "It's too cold here."
He said to Yan Xun, "You should go back early too."
Corren acted like a caring older brother neighbor, walking towards the lower part of the cabin, when he heard Yan Xun ask behind him.
"When the Terror capsized, you all fell into the Sea of Evil Spirits, right?"
Koren turned around. "Who told you that?"
"Will?"
He paused briefly. "Yes, we've all fallen into the Sea of Evil Spirits."
He shivered as he spoke, "It's so cold."
Koren seemed to recall the day he fell into the Sea of Evil Spirits.
"It's so cold."
……
Wen Yuanzheng heard the sound of the warehouse door being opened.
He hadn't been able to sleep, and when he heard the warehouse door open, he became even more nervous, even thinking that evil spirits from the Sea of Evil had climbed up.
He only breathed a slight sigh of relief when Yan Xun's voice rang out.
"it's me."
Yan Xun returned to his original seat and wrapped the hemp rope around himself a few times. Seeing Wen Yuan's conflicted expression, he immediately understood what he was thinking.
"Don't worry, it's not an evil spirit lying to you."
"But you can continue to pretend to be asleep."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Yuanzheng's expression became even more conflicted, as if he was unsure whether he should open his eyes at this moment.
“However, I just discovered something,” Yan Xun said again.
Wen Yuanzheng didn't care anymore. He simply opened his eyes, saw that it was Yan Xun, and breathed a sigh of relief. "What?"
"The crew threw a player overboard." Yan Xun calmly dropped a bomb.
After he finished speaking, ignoring Wen Yuanzheng's expression that looked like his eyes were about to pop out, he turned to look at Qin Ke.
Qin Ke was sleeping soundly on the ground, without any reaction, and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
"Holy crap, are you serious?" Wen Yuan was about to say it was impossible, but then he thought about it and it didn't seem so strange. "To attract whales?"
"I knew these crew members were no good."
Wen Yuan was muttering to himself.
He then looked at Yan Xun, "Did you see any evil spirits?"
"Evil spirits?" Yan Xun thought for a moment, "No."
"I did see a red dolphin."
"...Isn't it said that the red dolphin is the reincarnation of the dead crew members?" Wen Yuanzheng looked on, then became a little scared again. "Are you sure you didn't see any evil spirits?"
"I keep hearing a whistling sound, and I keep feeling like someone is banging a terror flag."
"It might be your imagination."
Yan Xun said.
Wen Yuanzheng thought to himself, how could it be a misperception? But seeing that Yan Xun didn't want to say more, he didn't ask any further questions.
He glanced at Yan Xun from side to side a few times, and began to wonder again whether this person was a human or a ghost...
"Touch me," Wen Yuanzheng said.
Yan Xun: "?"
"I don't have that hobby," Yan Xun refused.
"No, what are you thinking?" Wen Yuan was getting anxious. "I want to see if you're alive or dead."
Yan Xun looked down at Wen Yuanzheng, who was lying on the ground like a magpie, for a few seconds, then touched Wen Yuanzheng's forehead with his still-unbound hand—
"Child, do you have a fever?"
"When did Coron ever say that a person possessed by an evil spirit is dead?"
