52. Mermaid
The story continues.
Barol said, "In fact, when the captain made us slaves, we did not immediately agree to the captain because we were very doubtful whether he could take us away, not to mention that our food and water had been eaten up. On the sea, we had no food and water, which was a dead end."
"But at this moment, the captain, Xuancheng, lived by himself, and could transform food and water from the sea. He jumped into the sea before us and found enough water and food from the sea."
"At this time, we were simply shocked. No one could believe that the captain could actually transform water and food from the sea."
"At the beginning, everyone was very suspicious whether the captain had hidden water and food in the sea, so they entered the sea to search for water and food, but no matter what, we could find food and water."
"Only the captain, whenever the food is finished, he can turn water and food out of the sea."
"Later, we could only trust the captain and swear to be his slave, hoping that he could take us home."
"At this time, the captain commanded us to start building new rafts, but at this moment, something very strange happened between us."
When Wang Bo heard this, he asked, "What happened?"
Barol said, "On the third night of the captain's return, we finished our work and fell asleep, but when we woke up the next day, we found that someone was missing."
Missing? This is interesting.
"What happened, why did this person disappear."
Barol shook his head and said, "We didn't know what happened at the beginning. We searched all over the island, but we didn't find the missing sailors, but at this moment, the captain scolded us to continue making rafts."
"The water and food are in the hands of the captain. We dare not disobey his orders and can only continue to make rafts."
"However, three days later, when we woke up in the morning, we suddenly found another sailor missing. This time everyone was completely panicked."
"Someone begged the captain, hoping to gain the favor of the gods, and find out the reason."
"The captain agreed to dive into the bottom of the water to communicate with the gods, but after a while, the captain came up in panic and told everyone that the storm we encountered a few days ago was not formed naturally, but a storm created by a monster on the bottom of the sea."
"And these days, we have accidentally hit the monster's nest. Now that the monster has returned and has set its sights on us, he will eat one person to fill his stomach every three days."
"So we must speed up the creation of rafts and leave here as soon as possible, otherwise everyone will die here."
"So in the next few days, we worked overnight and finally made a raft and left the isolated island under the leadership of the captain. However, the night before we left the isolated island, we fell asleep tiredly because we worked overnight, but I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep."
"At this moment, I suddenly heard a beautiful song, which I had never heard of before, was a very wonderful song, and I felt that I would never forget it in my life."
"When I got up and wanted to find this sound, I suddenly saw the captain standing up and walking towards the direction where the song came."
"So I secretly followed the captain, wanting to see what the captain was doing."
"When I followed the captain to the beach east of the island, I saw a beautiful mermaid sitting on the beach singing. After the captain walked over, his skin melted like mud and water, and turned into another mermaid, and he started talking to the mermaid sitting on the beach."
When Wang Bo heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows again.
At first, Wang Bo thought the captain was saved by a mermaid, and with the help of the mermaid, he lied that he had gained favor from the gods and could turn his crew into slaves.
Then every three days, a person is pulled out and sacrificed to the mermaid.
In the world of Pirates of the Caribbean, mermaids are not those kind, beautiful, and bullied races in the world of One Piece.
The mermaids in this world are even more cruel, and the mermaids in this world are human-eating.
In the fourth part of Pirates of the Caribbean, the mermaid appears and then eats a lot of people. This shows how cruel the mermaids in this world are.
But Wang Bo never expected that the captain who returned was not the undead, but the mermaid became.
This was a bit beyond Wang Bo's expectations.
He couldn't help but say, "What happened next?"
Barol said, "I found out that the captain was transformed by a mermaid. I quickly ran back and told everyone about his discovery, but everyone dared not resist."
"Because our food and water are in the hands of each other, if we expose each other, we may be trapped here."
"We can only pretend that nothing happened."
"The next day, under the leadership of the mermaid, we left the island on a raft, drifted on the sea for many days, and finally returned to a port."
"But at this moment, the captain jumped into the water and disappeared."
"What's even more amazing is that when we left the island, no one died."
"It was not until this time that we realized that we were saved by the mermaid."
The ending of this story really caught Wang Bo off guard.
This was completely beyond Wang Bo's expectations.
He thought the reason why mermaids saved so many people was to turn them into their own food, but the result was not.
He thought the two missing sailors were eaten by mermaids, but after they left the island, no one died.
Doesn't this mean that the mermaid is not lying?
Could it be that the isolated island is really the territory of a sea monster, and this sea monster needs to eat one person in three days?
But then again, since sea monsters cannibalize people, why should we let these sailors leave?
The most likely answer is that someone blocked the sea monsters and protected the group of sailors who were about to leave the island. This is the answer that best matches the logic of the story.
Wang Bo did not forget that in Barol's story, there were a total of two mermaids.
One became the captain, the other sang on the beach.
These two mermaids should not be ordinary mermaids, because one of them can not only leave the sea, but also become a human.
Obviously, this is a mermaid who is proficient in magic, or witchcraft.
