MTL - Pirate’s Brood Order-Chapter 14 life and death haze
If there is a sleeping corpse lying beside your bed, how long will it take you to find it?
The answer given by the Via Pirates was 15 hours, until the dark night fell behind the dark clouds and haze the next day.
The noisy sound in the cabin suddenly quieted down. The pirates formed a crowded circle around the three beds. Yarlin and Fick were also standing in the crowd.
"what happened?"
Via walked in from the outside leaning on a crutched sword, followed by the ship doctor with the medicine box on his back, the first mate and others who were also puzzled.
"Jack and the others have been lying motionless on the bed for a day. They can't wake up no matter what they call, and they don't seem to be breathing." The pirate who first discovered it trembled.
The pirates dispersed, Via walked in and stood by Jack's bed, and the other two pirates had been moved together long ago. The three of them lay side by side in a row, and their neat appearance involuntarily made the surrounding pirates back their backs. Goosebumps popped up.
They have different appearances and different heights, but when the three of them are placed in a row, the visual impact gives an inexplicable feeling of trembling as if carved out of a mold.
"The body is cold and has no body temperature."
The ship doctor stepped forward, touched Jack's forehead with the back of his hand, his face changed slightly, and then he opened the other's eyelids with two fingers, revealing the white and white eyeballs.
"die?"
The ship doctor's fingers suddenly retracted like an electric shock, and his eyes were terrified as if he had seen a ghost, so much that the voice he blurted out was swallowed back in half.
"What's wrong?" Via frowned.
"There seems to be something moving in his eyes!" The ship doctor took a deep breath and put his fingers on Jack's eyelids again, but this time the movement was not as casual as the first time, but opened as if lifting a heavy weight The other side's thin layer of eyelids.
A white eyeball!
"Huh?" The ship doctor was stunned for a moment. He rubbed his eyes, widened his eyes in disbelief, and muttered, "Did my eyesight just now?"
"What's going on?" First mate Luo Wei stood behind Via with his arms around him, his eyes fixed on the three people on the bed, with a bad premonition in his heart and an irritable tone.
"There is no body temperature, no breathing, no pulse, and no eye movement. It should be dead." The ship doctor checked the other two people one after another, and as expected, came to the same conclusion.
The only thing that puzzled him was that the corpse, which had been dead for a long time, did not show signs of stiffness and corpse spots, but it was a living specimen that had been immersed in formalin water for a long time.
The pirates changed color in an uproar, Captain Via's hand holding the sword suddenly clenched tightly, like a poisonous snake swallowing a snake's letter, with a gloomy expression, and First Officer Lowe's pupils also shrank suddenly, staring at him with uncertain eyes. Via's back.
The two of them had their own ghosts in their minds, but under suspicion, they both pinned their suspicions on each other.
Yaerlin silently blended into the crowd, the corners of his thin mouth pursed slightly, then his brows slightly frowned, and he noticed that some flickering eyes were also staring at him.
Suspected? This is not normal!
Yaerlin didn't change his face, his mind was running wildly, trying to analyze which link went wrong, "First mate, captain, they are suspicious of each other, so it can't be them, then these ordinary pirates are even more It doesn't make sense... No, no, it's not this matter, this matter has just begun to brew, and it is impossible for anyone to suspect me. Therefore, something went wrong in the previous link, then, it can only be...... "
"William!"
Yaerlin pressed the tip of his tongue against his upper lip, habitually squinting his eyes to cover up the coldness in his eyes, he already had concerns in his heart.
"How did you die?" Lowe walked over to the side of the bed and squatted on his side to face Wea, which made sure that he could always be alert to the captain's movements when examining the corpse.
He was panting heavily, flipping the corpses of the three rudely, groping and examining the corpses with his thick palms, and then his face became more and more ugly.
"No wounds? How can there be no wounds?"
Lowe's repeated inspection did not find any wounds that could be fatal, which made him feel cold. He suddenly stood up and gritted his teeth at the ship doctor: "There are no wounds, ship doctor, tell me how they died?"
The ship doctor's eyelids jumped. He saw all of Luo Wei's actions just now. He was also confused and panicked, and hesitantly said, "I, I don't know how they died."
"No wounds?" Via was stunned, interrupted and questioned the ship doctor.
Luo Wei sneered in his heart, he was already convinced that Via was acting, and that someone could die inexplicably on this ship, no one but Via could do it.
Unlike Luo Wei, Yaerlin did widen his eyes suddenly, staring at Via's expression, with a thoughtful expression on his face: "Via is naturally not acting, then, the distance between him is obviously close. Now that you can see Luo Wei's actions just now, there is no reason why he can't see that there is no wound on the corpse, he is only now showing a stunned expression, this is a half-slow reaction, right?"
Yaerlin was thinking, and some fragments and details that he had neglected flashed through his mind like overlapping slides. Suddenly, the shock in his eyes flashed away, and a strange guess emerged in his heart.
"Captain Via's secret, is that so? It really... deceived everyone!" Yaerlin was awe-inspiring. Of course, he is still guessing. The specific truth needs to be corroborated by more details.
Thinking like this, Arlin's attention was even more focused on the change in Captain Via's expression, and at the same time, he gave orders according to the original plan in his heart.
"Moved!"
The pirates exclaimed in surprise.
Luo Wei immediately turned his head and opened his mouth in a "wo" shape. He saw that Jack, who had been judged dead, was slowly clenching the fingers of his right hand.
Not only Jack, but also the other two corpses are also "swindling corpses", one has a strange mouth and lips open to reveal the teeth, and there is a low whine in his throat; the other has his mouth closed, UU is reading a book www. uukanshu.com The teeth are rubbing "creeping", which makes the scalp tingle.
Luo Wei looked at the group of pirates whose colors had changed, his face suddenly turned green, he turned his neck stiffly, and suddenly a strange scene came into view behind him.
All of this is a long story, but in fact it only takes two or three seconds. The corpse cheater has completed the sequence of events, climax, and ending, and quickly returned to peace.
The three corpses lay there flat and motionless, surrounded by pale-faced pirates.
I am most afraid that the air will suddenly become quiet! !
Yaerlin, who directed this short play, did not leave Via from the beginning to the end. He stared at the gloomy and gloomy face, and unconsciously touched his left eye with his right finger.
"Didn't you say, are they dead?"
After a full minute, Luo Wei came back to his senses, grabbed the ship doctor's collar, and lifted him almost halfway, still with a trembling voice, "Tell me, dead man, why does he still move?"
"I..." The ship doctor's eyes seemed to bulge out because of the shock and fear. He should feel that the world view has been subverted. Although he is only a third-rate ship doctor, he has already distinguished between the living and the dead. Can't come out.
His voice was stained with tears.
"Enough, people don't know whether to live or die, so just find a place in the storage room and move it there, and then observe and observe." Compared with the horror of other pirates, Via's expression was enough to praise "calm", "Ship doctor, they just I'll leave it to you to take care of me, there won't be any more problems."
Luo Wei let out a "hum" and let go of the ship's doctor. The ship's doctor was crying and his teeth were chattering, but when he met Via's cold eyes, he had to take over the errand.
