The captain pressed the table again and ordered: "The first mate violated my rules and was killed by me. Two men, sew his head back on and hang his body on the ship for everyone to see"
Two of his subordinates quickly came in.
They bowed to the captain, then one of them carried the first mate's head while the other dragged the first mate's body and quickly left.
The captain smiled at Wang Cheng.
"How was it?"
"Thank you, captain, for upholding justice for me"
"Now you're assured?"
"Yes" Wang Cheng replied with sincerity.
"Hm, then you may leave. Keep in mind, no one can break my rules"
"Understood, captain sir"
Wang Cheng and the evil creature then left.
The captain silently stared at their backs.
"Hey, brat" he suddenly called out.
"Captain?"
"Dismiss your evil creature, otherwise my crew will panic"
Wang Cheng didn't say anything, but his evil creature spoke up: "I will send him to his room, only then will the summoning contract be considered complete"
Listening carefully, the captain's eyebrows loosened.
He nodded: "Very well, you should leave as soon as possible, otherwise you'll affect my people"
"Wang Cheng is safe, I will naturally leave" the evil creature said.
Bam!
The door was closed.
They had left.
The captain silently sat there for a while.
His fists were unconsciously clenched tight, as if killing the first mate wasn't enough to quell his anger.
"Bastard …" the captain muttered in a low voice.
He suddenly took out a small box from under the table, searched inside for a while, then took out a coin.
This was a unique coin with a smooth surface and nothing on it.
The captain blew on the coin, listened to the buzzing sound coming from the edge of the coin, then called out: "Your excellency Sorceress, I summon you"
Following his voice, a woman's face appeared on the coin.
"What is it?" the woman asked.
"Your excellency Sorceress, I want you to perform a divination for me"
"You know about my fees."
"Of course"
"Very well, wait a moment, I'll prepare the ritual"
The woman on the coin disappeared without a trace.
A few moments later.
The Sorceress' voice came again: "Tell me what you want to know"
The captain said, "This is a very strange thing. I clearly feel that the enemy's strength is much weaker than mine, but my intuition tells me not to fight him."
"Oh? Looks like it's a special opponent. "
There was a hint of excitement in the witch's voice.
As someone who explored the essence of all mysteries, she was interested in anything that didn't make sense.
The captain continued: "What I want to know now is, if we were to fight, would I be able to defeat the Ghost King summoned by Wang Cheng?"
"Just a moment."
The other side was silent for a while.
Just as the captain was getting more and more perturbed, the witch's voice rang out again.
"Now, flip the coin."
"And then?"
"If the coin falls and the last side facing up is your head, then it proves that you can win."
"What if the devil's head is facing up?"
"You will die."
"Only these two situations?"
"You do it first, I'll observe from the side," the witch said.
The captain gritted his teeth and picked up the coin.
The face of the witch on the coin instantly disappeared, and the entire coin became smooth again.
The captain flicked his finger.
The coin was tossed high into the air, and it kept rolling in the air.
Kih!
It landed on the table and bounced a few times.
— — -it stood up!
The coin stood still on the table without falling down to any side.
The captain opened his eyes wide, speechless.
"Ahahahaha!"
The witch couldn't hold back her laughter.
"What's going on?" the captain couldn't help but ask.
"How interesting, that Ghost King is far weaker than you are, but if the two of you were to fight, it would be an evenly matched situation"
The witch continued to explain with a smile: "Alright, such a rare divination result will bring me luck from the Mystery, so I won't take the money"
"I look forward to your next visit"
After saying so, her voice disappeared from the room.
She had left.
The only person left in the room was the captain, blankly sitting there.
A few moments of silence.
He suddenly roared: "Damn bastard!"
His fist heavily slammed on the table.
Everything on the table bounced up and then fell on the table and the floor in a messy manner.
But the coin still stood there without moving a single bit.
"No, I won't allow it — –"
The captain angrily muttered to himself.
He stood up, walked to the wall, and put his hand on it.
Suddenly, his expression became very strange.
"What the hell, did that fiend notice something?"
"… No, I need to prepare myself"
He muttered to himself and quickly left the room.
The door was slammed shut.
The room became completely silent.
A few moments later.
Suddenly, the smooth coin on the table slowly fell down in a certain direction.
On the other side.
Gu Qing Shan and Shannu once again entered the 2nd ship ruin.
"Gongzi, why did we come here?" Shannu asked.
"Because no one outside knows that when Bai Yu and Zhang Yi killed someone here, they had already revealed what happened to the first mate and second mate."
Gu Qing Shan continued: "That's laughable, that captain even tried to use the Death God's Funeral Bell to prove the truth"
Shannu carefully thought about it: "That's strange, the ones who helped Bai Yu frame Wang Cheng were the first mate and the second mate, but the Death God's Funeral Bell didn't ring, could it be that there's something wrong with the bell?"
"No, the one with the problem is the second mate" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Shannu was a bit surprised and asked: "How did gongzi know that?"
Gu Qing Shan asked in return: "Do you still remember what he said to the Death God's Funeral Bell?"
Shannu carefully recalled and repeated: "He said — — I want to prove in front of everyone, that as the second mate of the ship, I've never accepted any benefits or tried to frame or kill anyone on our side"
"Did you find out?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"… I didn't" Shannu replied.
Gu Qing Shan helplessly replied: "He only said that the second mate didn't do those things, but carefully avoided saying how he addressed himself"
Shannu realized and said: "That's right, he only said that the second mate didn't do those things, but didn't say that he didn't do them himself"
"So he definitely isn't the second mate" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
"Then who exactly is he?"
"I don't know yet, but I'm guessing he's not a person"
"Why not?"
"Because he stopped my [Life Seeker (Severance)] — — although according to the Law of Nature, the Earth element can counter the Lightning element, when my sword struck his body, I felt an indescribable strange sensation"
Gu Qing Shan sighed: "The current situation is too strange, only this section of the ship has been proven to be safe and hidden"
"— — -that's why we're changing identities here"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan took off the Shen Wei armor.
"Gongzi, it's been a long time since I've seen you this cautious" Shannu praised.
"There are countless Professions and living beings in the Strife Zones, as well as countless strange and unusual void monsters. In such a chaotic and unpredictable world, if we aren't careful, we won't be able to go far" Gu Qing Shan sighed.
Recalling something, Shannu scowled: "That's right, gongzi still has two karmic adversity to go through, you have to be careful"
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
He couldn't afford to be careless about karmic adversity.
He activated [Mystery of All Beings Equal] and slowly turned into Wang Cheng's appearance.
In the ruins of the airship, two identical Wang Cheng were staring at each other.
"Gongzi, this means … I don't have to pretend to be Wang Cheng anymore?"
One of the Wang Cheng asked.
"Hm, I have a feeling that there might be some unexpected changes after this, so from now on, it's my turn" the other Wang Cheng replied.
"That's great!"
