"Dead!"

"Someone died?!"

"Holy, it's Robert, Clarke, Darnay!"

"They're ......"

As soon as it was dawn, Richard heard a commotion in the corridor outside the cabin, apparently the body had been found by the students who had gotten up.

Glancing at the bed, Pandora slept unaffected, without any intention of getting up. Richard shook his head, opened the cabin door and walked out, only to see that a large number of people had gathered in the hallway.

The students in the third cabin all poked their heads out of their respective cabins to watch, and the people in the cabins above kept coming down to check the situation - it is human nature to "watch the excitement".

Richard turned his head to look to the side, and saw Gro standing at the door of the cabin with his neck bent, only a few meters away from the scene where the body was found, his face pale.

Richard stepped over and patted Gro lightly on the shoulder, only to see Gro's whole body tremble and startled.

Gro stiffly turned his head, and only after seeing that it was Richard did he breathe a sigh of relief, and kept stroking his chest and said, "Your Excellency Richard, you scared me to death." ”

"What, are you scared?"

"Of course, you don't look at how close this corpse is to my cabin door. I don't know, next time, it will be my turn. Gro said, swallowing his saliva subconsciously.

"The corpse was so close to your cabin door, didn't you hear anything last night?" a voice asked, turning to Gro. Gro's tattoo looked and saw Nancy come down from the first cabin and walk up to the neighborhood to look at him while greeting Richard.

"Well, this ......" After listening to Nancy's question, Gro hesitated slightly, recalled seriously, and then shook his head in confusion and replied, "I...... I don't seem to hear a sound at all, really. ”

"In this way, the murderer is very strong, and he definitely has the ability to spell, otherwise it would be impossible to kill three people so quietly. Nancy listened to Gro's words and quickly analyzed, looked at Richard and asked, "What do you think?"

"Same as you. Richard said. After discovering the black powder last night, he already had a relatively clear understanding of the whole murder, but he didn't want to reveal it, after all, it involved a lot of secrets.

Nancy didn't have much doubts, but said seriously: "Then you have to be careful yourself." ”

"I'll take notice. Richard nodded slightly, "Be careful, too." ”

"Hmm. Nancy replied.

Gro was beside him, looking at Richard and then at Nancy, his mouth opened and closed, and he lowered his head and whispered weakly, "I'll be careful too." ”

"You don't have to be careful. Nancy said.

"......Huh? Why shouldn't I be careful?" Groh looked up, a puzzled expression.

"Because your ability is similar to that of the three students who died, if you are really targeted by the murderer, you will definitely not survive. It's useless to be careful, it's better to relax your heart and let yourself have a good mood. That way, you can die laughing and not have to die so ugly like the three of them. Nancy said, pointing at the three people next to her.

When Gro looked over, he saw that the three corpses were all with round eyes and wide open mouths, which were indeed not good-looking, and could even be called hateful.

Gro: "......"

Retracting his gaze, Gro looked at Nancy with the urge to bite. He admits that Nancy was telling the truth, but it was too real—as real as a solid stone ball, and it hurt him a lot. Anyway, why did he think that Nancy was deliberately targeting him? Was it a delusion? Or was it true?

Gro thought wildly in his heart, although he hated it, but he was helpless. Under Nancy's calm gaze, she said a little subdued and weak: "If I really encounter the murderer, I will try my best...... Die less ugly. ”

Nancy said calmly, "Come on." ”

Gro: "...... are you just looking forward to my death?

Richard couldn't help but smile in his heart, looked at Nancy, and found that in addition to Nancy's outstanding ability, Nancy also has a major characteristic, that is, a poisonous tongue. Although it was not shown in the conversation with himself, it was vividly expressed in the dialogue with Gro. Is this a deliberate blow to Gro? Is it necessary?

"Smack", Richard patted Gro on the shoulder and comforted, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, the murderer may not continue to do things to students." ”

"Huh?" Richard was stunned.

Nancy's thoughtful eyes flashed: "What do you mean......"

"First six sailors died, and now three students have died, and the identity of the slain is constantly escalating, maybe next time it will be ......" Richard did not continue, turned his head to look at the position of the stairs, and said loudly, "Here they are." ”

Nancy and Gro looked over and saw Potter walking down with the men.

The three ordinary students who had been following Potter and helping to clean up the corpses were now all new corpses, so this time Potter brought six new students to follow him. At the same time, there were three wizard apprentices, surrounding him.

At this time, Potter's face was slightly ugly, and his brow was furrowed, and it was obvious that he was very anxious about the continuous, untraceable killings. And the death of three students made him even more angry.

However, Potter maintained his apparent composure, walked over to the corpse, looked at it a few times, and turned to say something to the three wizard apprentices who followed him.

The corridor was very noisy, and Potter's voice was deliberately low, so Richard couldn't hear what the other party said, but he could guess nothing more than guessing the cause of death of the three corpses and the murderer's method of killing.

After a moment, Potter stopped talking to his companions, looked at the people around him, and spoke up, "I know people must be scared and feel that I am incompetent. Because I didn't stop the murderer from continuing to kill, and I also asked the other party to kill three students. ”

The people around him were silent, and they all looked at Potter.

"Here, I have to admit my incompetence. Potter said calmly, glancing at the crowd, his gaze sharpening, "But I'm not going to back down." ”

"When a person dies, I didn't kill it, but I was responsible. Because Mr. Demps has entrusted me with the maintenance of order, it is my responsibility to keep everyone safe. I'm not going to explain anything about this incident, and even if I want to explain, everyone should be tired of hearing it in the past few days.

Here, I just want to say that I am not afraid of death, and I will be responsible to the end. Starting tonight, I'll be patrolling the entire ship, and I'll make sure that the cabins on the three decks below deck are guarded by wizard apprentices. If the murderer still shows up and wants to kill, then kill the wizard apprentice first, kill me first! ”

After Potter finished speaking, he said no more, and waved his hand to the new six students behind him, "Carry the corpse away, and then clean it up." ”

Everyone was stunned, and Potter walked directly to the upper level with the three wizard apprentices around him, then walked up to the deck and into the cabin where the wizard was.
