If there is a sleeping body lying next to your bed, how long will it take you to find it?
The answer given by the Via Pirates was 15 hours, until the next day, the dark night fell behind the dark clouds, and the chilly sea breeze poured into the cabin and made a "woo woo" sound.
The noise in the cabin suddenly quieted down, and the pirates surrounded the three beds in a crowded circle. Yarlin and Fick were also standing in the crowd.
"What's the matter?"
Via came in from the outside with a crutch sword, followed by the ship's doctor with a medicine box, and the same puzzled Chief Mate and others.
"Jack has been lying in bed motionless for a day, and they don't seem to be breathing." The first pirate who found it trembled.
The pirates spread out, and Via walked in and stood beside Jack's bed. The other two pirates had already been moved together. The three of them lay side by side in a row, and the neat appearance involuntarily made the surrounding pirates have goosebumps on their backs.
They look different, and their heights are different, but when the three of them are placed in a row, the visual impact inexplicably gives people a sense of trembling as if they were carved from the same mold.
"Body cold, no body temperature."
The ship's doctor stepped forward and touched Jack's forehead with the back of his hand. His face changed slightly, and then he opened Jack's eyelids with two fingers, revealing a white eyeball.
"Dead?"
The ship's doctor's fingers suddenly retracted, and his eyes were horrified as if he had seen a ghost, and the words that he blurted out were abruptly swallowed back.
"What's wrong?" Via frowned.
"There seems to be something moving in his eyes!" The ship's doctor took a deep breath and put his fingers on Jack's eyelids again, but this time the action was not as casual as the first time, but as if lifting a thousand pounds, he opened the other's thin eyelids.
A white eyeball!
"Huh?" The ship's doctor froze for a moment. He rubbed his eyes and stared at them in disbelief. He muttered, "Was I just dazzled?"
"What the hell is going on?" First Mate Lowe stood behind Via with his arms crossed. His eyes were fixed on the three people on the bed. He had a bad premonition and his tone was irritated.
"No body temperature, no breathing, no pulse, no eye movement. He should be dead." The ship's doctor checked on the other two, and as expected, he came to the same conclusion.
The only thing that puzzled him was that the body, which had been dead for a long time, did not show any signs of rigidity or livor mortis. It seemed to be a living specimen that had been soaked in formalin for a long time.
The pirates were in an uproar. Captain Via's hand holding the sword suddenly clenched, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue. His expression was uncertain, and Lowe's pupil suddenly shrank, staring at Via's back with an uncertain look.
The two of them had their own ulterior motives, and under their suspicions, they both locked their suspicions on each other.
Yarlin silently blended into the crowd. His thin lips were slightly pursed. Then, he frowned slightly. He sensed that there were some sparkling eyes around him that were also staring at him.
Was he being suspected? This is not normal!
Yarlin's face did not change, but his mind was running wildly, trying to analyze what went wrong. "First Mate, Captain, they are suspecting each other, so it can't be them. Then these ordinary pirates are even more unreasonable … No, no, it's not this matter. This matter has just begun to brew. It's impossible for anyone to suspect me. So, the previous link went wrong. Then, it can only be …"
"William!"
Yarlin pressed the tip of his tongue against his upper lip, habitually squinting his eyes to cover the coldness in his eyes. He already had a plan in mind.
"How did they die?" Lowe walked past Via to the bed, half of his body squatting sideways facing Via. This made him ensure that he could always be alert to the Captain's movements when examining the body.
He gasped, rudely turning over the bodies of the three people. His thick palms groped the bodies, and then his face became more and more ugly.
"No wound? How can there be no wound? "
Lowe checked again and again, but he did not find any wound that could be fatal. This made his heart turn cold. He suddenly stood up and gritted his teeth at the ship doctor. "There are no wounds. Ship doctor, tell me how did they die?"
The ship doctor's eyelids twitched. He had seen Lowe's movements just now. He was also confused and frightened. He stammered. "I, I don't know how they died."
"There's no wound?" Weya was stunned and interrupted the ship's doctor.
Lowe sneered in his heart. At this moment, he was certain that Via was acting. To be able to cause people to die inexplicably on this ship, other than Via, who else could do it?
Unlike Lowe, Yarlin's eyes suddenly widened. He stared at Via's expression, his face revealing a thoughtful expression. "Via naturally wouldn't be acting. Then, from his close distance, he clearly saw Lowe's movements just now. There's no reason he couldn't see that there are no wounds on the bodies. Only now did he reveal a stunned expression. His reaction must be delayed by half a beat."
Yarlin was pondering. Some fragments and details that he had overlooked flashed across his mind like overlapping slides. Suddenly, his eyes flashed with shock, and a strange conjecture floated in his heart.
"Captain Via's secret, is it this, this is really ….. deceiving everyone!" Yarlin's heart was awe-inspiring. Of course, it was still a guess. The specific truth still needed to be corroborated with more details.
Thinking like this, Yarlin's attention was more focused on the changes in Captain Via's expression. At the same time, he issued instructions in his heart according to the original plan.
"It moved!"
The pirate exclaimed aloud.
Lowe immediately turned his head, his mouth opened in a "V" shape. He saw that Jack's right hand, which had been judged dead, was slowly clenching his fingers at a very slow speed.
It wasn't just Jack. The other two corpses were also 'moving corpses'. One of the corpses opened its mouth in a strange manner, revealing its eerie teeth. The other one's mouth was closed, and its teeth were rubbing against each other. The creaking sound was enough to make one's scalp go numb.
Lowe looked at the pirates whose faces had changed color. His face suddenly turned green. He turned his neck stiffly, and a strange scene came into his eyes. He quickly retreated.
All this took a long time to describe, but in fact, it only took two or three seconds. The moving corpses finished, the climax, and the end of the continuous song quickly returned to calm.
The three corpses were lying there motionless, surrounded by a group of pale pirates.
The most frightening thing was that the air suddenly became quiet!!!
Yarlin, who directed this short scene, didn't look away from Via from beginning to end. He stared at the gloomy face, and his right hand unconsciously touched his left eye.
"Didn't you say that they were dead?"
After a full minute, Lowe came back to his senses and grabbed the ship doctor's collar, almost lifting him up, and said with a trembling voice, "You tell me, dead people, why can they still move?"
"I …" The ship doctor's eyeballs seemed to be bulging out of their sockets due to shock and fear. He should be the one who felt that his worldview had been overturned the most. Although he was only a third-rate ship doctor, he could no longer differentiate between the living and the dead.
His voice was stained with sobs.
"Enough, these people don't know whether they are dead or alive. Find a place in the storage room and move them over." Compared to the horror of the other pirates, Via's expression was enough to praise him as "calm". "Ship doctor, they will be in your care. There won't be any more problems."
Luo Wei snorted and let go of the ship's doctor. The ship's doctor had a long face and his teeth were chattering, but when he met Weya's cold gaze, he had no choice but to accept the task.
