The temporary "morgue" storage room was silent. Fick stared at the three corpses and felt the surrounding air was cold. He didn't see Yarlin in the room.
"He's not here? Where did he go? " Fick frowned. Just now, Shaquille and Gucci came in and a group of pirates who were close to them were called away.
Strange things happened one after another. Rumors with ulterior motives spread everywhere. The Via was now a powder keg, and Shaquille and Gucci's actions could be seen as a signal to ignite it.
The captain and first mate were leading the two groups, and they were ready to fight at any moment. How could Arlen have disappeared at such a critical juncture?
Inside the chief officer's room.
The ship's doctor was lying on the bed with a bandage wrapped around his waist. His face was pale and weak. His eyes were wide open as he suspiciously looked at the man who pushed the door open and sneaked in.
"Yarlin, why are you here?" The ship's doctor asked.
The person who came in was Yarlin. He walked towards the ship's doctor without saying a word.
The ship's doctor noticed that something was wrong. Yarlin's face no longer had a grateful smile. His eyebrows were lowered, and the tip of his nose was slightly raised. The muscles on the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. It was the same smile, but it suddenly gave him a strange and cold feeling.
"Yarlin, what are you doing?" The ship's doctor was nervous. At this moment, even moving his wound was painful, let alone resisting. He didn't dare to shout because Yarlin had already walked to the bed.
Tear … The bandage was rudely torn open, revealing the bloody and hideous wound below. The ship's doctor gritted his teeth in pain. His face was full of sweat.
"Yarlin, are you crazy? What are you doing?" The ship's doctor stared at Yarlin.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's really tragic. It seems that our ship's doctor almost died." After confirming the wound, Yarlin put down the bandage and put it back on the wound. This action caused the ship's doctor to grimace. Then he slowly leaned down, and his pupils strangely shrank into vertical lines. A black vertical line flashed in his blue eyes.
"Your eyes?" The ship doctor was horrified. The strange vertical line was the same as the black lines in the corpses, but Yarlin was a living person.
"This is all thanks to the captain. Let me tell you another secret. Jack and the rest are not really dead. They will come back to life …" Yarlin touched his eyes. His laughter was eerie, and it sent chills down the doctor's spine. "You should have heard it, right? You heard it."
"What did you hear?" The image of the three corpses calling out to Via flashed across the ship doctor's mind, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
"That's right, you heard it, heh heh heh …" Yarlin shrugged his shoulders helplessly as he covered the doctor's chest with his black-gloved left hand. At that moment, the doctor felt as if he had been touched by a devil as a chill spread all over his body. "You'll keep it a secret for Captain Via, right? Oh, right, you must have told First Mate Lowe. But it's okay, the benevolent captain knows that you were forced. Tsk tsk tsk, how tragic. "
Yarlin's expression suddenly changed back to that of gratitude. He said with righteous indignation, "The ship doctor is my savior. Since the First Mate dares to treat you like this, I'll kill him for you."
This sudden change in attitude left the ship's doctor dumbfounded. He felt like Arlen was a sinister viper flicking its tongue. There was no way to predict when that bloody maw would swallow him whole, leaving not even his bones behind.
Yarlin slowly straightened his body and sneered. "The captain was just worried that he didn't have enough corpses, and the First Mate wanted to rebel. Heh heh heh, don't you think that counts as loyalty?"
"…." The ship doctor's teeth were chattering.
"Oh, the captain doesn't like dead people. He needs fresh, living people with their last breath. When the time comes, find a way to send them to the storage room. Mm, I prefer to call it the morgue." Yarlin licked his lips. "I'll wait for you there. Don't be late."
Yarlin left. The ship doctor stared blankly at the ceiling. His mind was filled with three thoughts: It really is the captain, and the captain already knows. Yarlin is a venomous snake that eats people without spitting out the bones. First Mate Lowe is dead for sure!
When he returned to the morgue and saw Fick, Yarlin smiled. "I was just about to look for you. I didn't expect you to be here. It just so happens that I have something to tell you."
"Yarlin, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time. "Fick asked at the same time.
"I went to do some preparatory steps in the plan. Our captain and first mate are about to have their final showdown. I had to go and add some ingredients." Yarlin's smile had a trace of excitement. Finally, the final harvest was about to come. As a person who had lived two lives, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"What do you mean?" Fick was puzzled.
"It's too troublesome to explain. Anyway, we can leave this broken ship soon." Yarlin grinned and said meaningfully, "With the wealth of the Via."
Fick was dumbfounded.
"Believe me, at the latest, it won't take more than tomorrow. Everything will have a new beginning." Yarlin guided him patiently. Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on his face. "Fick, you're not afraid of corpses, right?"
Fick was of course not afraid of normal dead people, but … he glanced at the three quiet corpses. His eyelids twitched. "Of course!"
"Oh, that's good."
"…." Fick.
*****
The wings that were cut open flapped tiredly. Under the oppressive storm that was brewing, the bat that had temporarily regained freedom drew a parabola of death and crashed heavily into the sea, splashing blood everywhere.
"Via doesn't intend to leave us a way out. In that case, get ready, we'll do it tonight." The room of the first mate was not spacious. It was crowded with murderous pirates.
The sparks from the burning cigarette filled the air. The smell of sweat seemed to be steaming. All the pirates were covered with a layer of sweat and their breathing was dull.
In the middle of the crowd, the first mate Lowe's eyes were bloodshot. He sat on a barrel with a meter long broadsword at his feet. His voice was hoarse and fierce. "In the second half of the night, when all the pirates are asleep, we'll make a sudden move and directly kill Via. At that time, we'll have the final say on this ship."
"Via's wealth, I, Lowe, will share it equally with everyone." Lowe boldly promised.
Wealth moved people's hearts. The eyes of the pirates were bloodshot, and their breathing became more rapid and excited. Even Shakey, Gucci, and Gansivir, who were standing behind him, couldn't help but breathe. The killing intent in their eyes became more intense.
After a while, they calmed down.
Gansivir suddenly asked, "First Mate, what is the Captain's secret that you have been talking about? At this time, there is no need to hide it anymore. "
"Captain's secret?" The pirates, whether it was the first time they heard this secret or not, pricked up their ears at this moment.
"There's nothing to hide. It's just that this secret is too shocking. I've never been completely sure. Until now, I'm only 70% sure. That is, Wier is …" Luo Wei took a deep breath and said word by word, "A. Blind. Man!"
