Chapter 427: Ghost Ship!
After that, everything was as if nothing had happened, there were no rebellions, no killings, the ships sailed normally. The only difference is that the captain has changed someone.
If it goes on like this, it's not bad. Richard thought so.
But as soon as it was afternoon, there were waves again.
"Buzz!"
The "Naru Glory Fisherman" shook suddenly, and many of the guests in the cabin were thrown to the ground, holding their red and swollen heads and arms, and ran out of the cabin, asking what was going on.
It didn't take long to figure it out.
It was the newly appointed captain Jack who suddenly ordered the ship to stop at sea.
The reason was that there was not enough food on board, so they stopped in an area rich in marine fish, caught marine fish for two days, filled the warehouse, and then set sail.
This reason is simply ridiculous, almost everyone on board knows that the "Naru Glory Fisherman" has just docked in the port of The Hague to replenish supplies, and the food on board is fully enough to supply everyone on board for more than half a month.
Despite this, no one dared to question it head-on, and only complained in private.
So, the "Naru Glorious Fisherman" stopped.
After receiving this information, Richard muttered thoughtfully, "Two days?" and his eyes narrowed slightly.
If it was only speculation about the strange things that happened on the ship before—the guess was made by the divination woman, now it is certain.
Two days was exactly the time that the divination woman had repeatedly emphasized in the hotel in The Hague before. Obviously, after two days, something special will happen that will allow the soothsayer woman to achieve a certain purpose.
Therefore, the soothsayer tried to make him leave the harbor in two days, but he did not listen, and boarded the "Naru Glorious Fisherman" and left early. Now, it seems that the soothsayer woman has somehow controlled Jack the sailor, stopped the ship, and tried to snatch back the two days.
Did you use some kind of psychic spell?
Richard guessed.
Quite possibly.
However, considering that Jack did not control the "Naru Glorious Fisherman" by himself, but was somewhat incredibly supported by many sailors, maybe the spiritual spells worked on many people. In other words, there were at least other sailors who were controlled by the mind than Jack, and then fanned the flames and fueled the flames to make the rebellion so successful through the resentment generated by Captain Morgan's repressive rule.
So why did the divination woman do these things and delay them for two days?
If it was for something in him, he didn't believe it.
After all, in the previous hotel, under the double concealment of the occult and the shadow cloak, he was just an ordinary person. Even if he catches the "pet mouse" of the divination woman, he is just an ordinary person who is relatively difficult to deal with. There is not enough value, and there is not enough reason for the soothsayer woman to expend so much energy for him.
Therefore, a reasonable explanation should be that the divination woman wants more than he expected. Like this ship, or something on this ship, that he didn't know about—he was just incidental, out of coincidence, involved in this turmoil.
It is even possible that this was not done by the divination woman alone, but with the help of a companion. After all, no matter how you look at it, the strength of the divination woman is not strong enough to remotely control several people.
So what is the truth of the matter?
Richard was really a little curious, and was ready to take a good look at this play as an ordinary passer-by without revealing his strength according to his previous plan.
And so, time passed quickly......
......
Half a day, a day, a day and a half......
Just when Lee sensed that the two days were almost up and was about to reveal the answer, the situation on the ship took an unexpected change - a mutiny occurred again.
The rebellion began in the lower cabins, and the first initiators were the passengers who had been driven down from the upper cabins.
At the time of the first rebellion, Jack locked up Captain Morgan, first mate, second officer, third officer, and other die-hard sailors who supported Captain Morgan, and the place was in the upper cabin. The reason why it is the upper cabin, not the lower cabin, is mainly to prevent anyone from breaking the bottom of the ship in case someone breaks free from the shackles and has the idea of dying together. Even if it can be remedied, it will take a lot of effort.
In this way, the upper cabin is naturally insufficient, and some passengers who originally spent a lot of money to live in the upper cabin were unceremoniously driven to the lower cabin.
Driven into the cabin on the ground floor, these people complained, and after some discussion, they couldn't help but collude and decided to do something big to teach the new captain a lesson, which in Richard's opinion was a bit stupid.
However, these people were not incorrigibly stupid, and some self-knowledge soon realized that their unarmed rebellion was impossible - they had no ability and no guts. After another discussion, they decided to rebel against the rebellious sailors and let them take the lead.
If it succeeds, it is good, and if it does not succeed, it is as if nothing happened. Having made up their minds, the men split up to find the sailor.
The result...... Things are going so smoothly that it's far beyond everyone's imagination. As soon as these people contacted the sailors, they found that most of the sailors, although they had complaints about Captain Morgan, were still loyal to Captain Morgan in their hearts.
The reason for the rebellion, in the words of the sailor himself, is: I don't know why, suddenly the people around me are in chaos, stimulated by Jack's words, and my head is hot, so I can't help but stand behind Jack. Wait until you calm down, and it's too late to regret it.
Now when he heard that he wanted to rescue Captain Morgan and give them a chance to remedy, he gladly joined.
So, after a day and a half of halt, at noon on the fifth day of the voyage, a second premeditated rebellion broke out.
After the rebellion broke out, there was not much resistance at all, the situation was one-sided, and the vast majority of those who supported Jack defected in an instant, and Jack was quickly controlled. The bound captain Morgan, first mate, second officer, third officer and others were released, and the ruling power of the "Naru Glorious Fisherman" returned to the hands of Captain Morgan again.
......
On deck.
Captain Morgan stood, and behind him were the first mate, second officer, third officer, die-hard sailors who firmly supported him, and many redemptive sailors who "abandoned the darkness and turned to the light" and "lost their way".
After more than a day of captivity, Captain Morgan looked a little tired, but his eyes were extremely sharp, staring at Jack in front of him, who was tied into a rice dumpling with hemp rope.
"Jack!" said Captain Morgan, "I don't know if you remember, if I hadn't taken pity on you and brought you on this ship, you would have starved to death like a beggar in Sam Harbor." And you're repaying me with betrayal?"
"Hey, Captain Morgan!" Jack, who was tied up, smiled weirdly, as if he had completely changed a person, "You don't understand, you don't understand! I'm saving you! Yes, I'm saving you! I'm betraying you, I'm saving you! Otherwise, I'd have killed you, understand?"
"Are you saving me?" Captain Morgan said coldly, "I don't need anyone to save me, I have my own life in my own hands!"
"You don't understand, you really don't understand!" Jack exclaimed, "You don't understand anything! I hear God's voice, I hear God's instructions, God can't make mistakes, if you don't listen to me, you'll only go to hell!"
"It seems that you are really crazy. ”
"I'm not crazy, I'm sober......"
"Alright!" Captain Morgan interrupted Jack, turning his head to look to the side.
First mate Williams looked and asked, "Captain, what do you think of him, do you kill him or ......?"
"You don't have to kill him yet. Captain Morgan said coldly, "I want to see if he's really crazy or fake." If it's really crazy, when the madness passes, I'm going to ask him how his head grows. If it's fake madness...... Hmph, I'll let him know that there is something more terrible in the world than death. ”
"Uh......"
"Alright, Williams, take a few men, gagged him, throw him into the cabin, and starve him for two days!"
"Yes. The first mate quickly led the people and dragged Jack away.
Jack struggled and shouted, "You will regret it! You will regret it! If you don't listen to me, and if you don't want me to save you, then you will soon face death, and your soul will be tormented in the flames ......of hell!"
In the end, Jack was stuffed into his mouth with a rag by first mate Williams, almost cracking the corners of his mouth, unable to spit it out, and then dragged into the cabin.
The entire deck is silent.
"Whew-"
Captain Morgan let out a breath and looked at everyone, at the sailors who had betrayed him and supported him, at the passengers whom he had always ignored.
"There's been a lot going on lately and I don't want to say anything more about that. I'm a captain whose sole purpose is to get everyone where they want to go, that's all. Whatever anyone has done before, I don't want to pursue it, but don't make any more mistakes after that, that's the last thing I tolerate. Next, we set sail and continue our course. That's it. ”
Captain Morgan finished speaking, and walked towards the captain's room.
And at this time, suddenly a sharp-eyed passenger, seeing something on the sea in the distance, shouted: "That...... What's that?"
"Huh?" everyone was stunned, and turned to look behind the "Naru Glory Fisherman".
Captain Morgan also stopped, glanced at the back of the ship, and then his eyes shrank.
I saw a huge sea ship with a pitch-black body and twice the size of the "Naru Glory Fisherman", which was catching up with the wind and waves.
The hull of the ship is emblazoned with a seeping skull, and the skull's eye sockets are burning blue flames.
The deck was empty, and the whole ship seemed to be under the control of some supernatural force, constantly moving, getting closer and closer to the "Naru Glorious Fisherman".
This is!
"Ghost ship!"
Suddenly someone shouted!
The voyage was delayed, someone kept urging it, so it ...... The ghost ship, which was supposed to arrive in two days, took more than a day and a half to catch up!
