Chapter 7 Old Gan
The tall and thin man did not speak loudly. After Heck brought Vito and others to the boat, he immediately arranged a few people to move into the most luxurious large bedrooms on the second floor of the cabin.
This guy was quite sensible. After asking the kitchen to prepare breakfast, he respectfully saluted Heck and left the second floor without any intention of continuing to get close, so as not to affect Heck and others' rest.
This made Heck, who was originally despised, look up to the man.
"ah……"
Close the door and lay on the soft velvet bed, Heck moaned comfortably.
Looking at the ceiling, he felt like a naval colonel that he had been missing for a long time.
Although this long-lost thing is actually only one or two days, there is no way. Since I ran into Vito yesterday, my experience is so miserable. My status in this small bandit group is even worse than that cat...
It's sad to think about it.
So...what should we go next?
Heck was a little confused. He didn't know whether he should cooperate to the end. He was honestly waiting for the man to climb towards the top of the navy step by step, or to secretly look for opportunities to ask for help from the top of the headquarters.
The former is a bit too frustrated, but the latter one is not a safe choice. Perhaps it is not difficult to send someone to encircle Vito after learning the truth, but his life is still lingering.
Let’s just wait and see for a while.
Heck sighed. He thought this was the most suitable way at the moment. After all, these guys didn't seem to be really vicious thugs. Just now, they generously let the driver of the sea train go.
The old driver was in his sixties and had bad eyes and memory.
The old man was stunned at the moment when the front of the steam locomotive exploded. After waking up, the carriage had been cleaned up. The number of Vito and others happened to correspond to Heck's follower, so he didn't find anything wrong.
I only thought I was intercepted by a train robber, but no one was injured. The robbers were driven away by the colonel who came from Marinfando.
then.
After repairing the front of the motorcycle, the old man whistled and drove the car, and after a night of sailing, they were taken to the station of Plang Town.
With Vito waved his hand and watching him, he turned around happily and drove the train, embarking on the journey back to the Water Capital.
Heck made a self-spoken look that he couldn't do this. If it were Vito's perspective, he would have to do it too, no matter what, and eliminate the old driver, without leaving any possibility of risk.
He thought silently and gradually became sleepy. He was frightened in the carriage for the whole night last night. He really didn't sleep well. At this moment, he was lying on the soft bed, and his fatigue rushed over like a tide, which quickly swallowed his consciousness.
And just between half asleep and half awake, he faintly seemed to see the reflection of several birds on the window from his eyes that were narrowed into slits. It was pitch black and motionless, a bit like a crow...
Wait, crow?
A chill suddenly rushed from his back to the back of his head, and Heck's consciousness suddenly woke up. He turned over and sat up, staring at the porthole widened his eyes, and the five were exactly the same, staring at his black raven.
What a familiar scene.
Heck felt his scalp numb, and every surface of his body covered his skin, with fine goose bumps.
What's the fucking situation?
He stared at the row of ravens standing on the window frame, but soon, he seemed to realize something, and suddenly raised his tone and shouted angrily towards the window:
"Who sent you guys!"
"The person who controls you, just hide nearby? Get out of here, what kind of man is hiding? If you have the ability, show up. I want to see what your intentions are you following me all the way!"
He did this naturally because he was too brave. He shouted loudly that he might not be able to scare the group of strange crows, but he could alarm Vito and others in the next room.
However.
What made him desperate was that even though he had already made all his voice, there was no movement next door. Instead, the five black ravens turned their eyes and flew into the window and landed on the head of his bed.
"Don't...don't come over!"
Heck was so scared that he rolled and crawled to the end of the bed, and was about to pull out his gun from his belt, but he heard an old voice with a little ridiculous sound coming from the head of the bed:
"Hey, hey, hey, after all, he has been in the Navy headquarters for more than ten years. Why do you panic when you encounter danger? Did you really come out of a place like Marinfando?"
Who is speaking?
Heck raised his head, searching in the room and outside the window for a long time, but he didn't see anyone.
Just when I was surprised and confused, I saw the five black ravens sneering, and they opened their mouths at the same time:
"Where are you looking at? Little devil, he is as stupid as a pig. Isn't I right in front of you?"
The tones of the five mouths were exactly the same, and for a moment they had a stereo effect.
Heck was a little stunned. He stared at the five crows close at hand. After staring at them for a long time, he swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice:
"You...what are you? Is it that...that kind of thing in the horror story?"
"What a mess? You are in your thirties or forties. Why do you still believe in these things to coax children?"
The black ravens looked at him contemptuously, "Of course I am a human, a human who ate the animal-based devil fruit."
It seemed to be to verify the authenticity of this sentence. As soon as the words were finished, five black ravens suddenly moved closer and merged. After the light twisted for a moment, they disappeared from the spot. Instead, they were an old man with white hair and white beards in loose and old white robes.
The old man was tall and fat, with a round and rosy face. With this white look, he looked a bit like a kind-hearted senior. However, he was a little dissatisfied with his eyes at this moment. He obviously felt degrading about Heck's view of himself as a monster-like existence.
Fortunately, he was a human being, Heck immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and felt a malicious whisper in his heart. The devil fruit ability is indeed the most reasonable possibility. If he were to think of this, he would have thought of this at the first time, but who made your old man's behavior so strange and gloomy that he almost scared his heart disease.
"You seem to be doing a bit miserable in the past two days."
The fat old man in white looked at Heck, tsk and sighed, "I didn't bother anyone, I just ate barbecue and sang songs on the train, but suddenly I was robbed by bandits. Not only did the young people not save them, but I was also controlled and threatened by others. I couldn't help but be bullied."
This instantly ended up in Heck's heart. He didn't expect that the old man knew so clearly about his experience. For a moment, he felt a sense of sorrow and tears of tears when he met a confidant in a foreign land.
"It turns out that you see it all."
Heck smiled bitterly at first, shook his head with a slouching expression, and then pretended to have suddenly realized something, and asked carefully, "Who are you? You followed me all the way and then appeared in my room. Is there anything you want to ask me for?"
His tone had tried to keep calm, but he felt an uncontrollable excitement in his heart, and he was still a little expectant.
This fat old man obviously felt a little sympathetic to him. Although he didn't know where he came from, he seemed to have two skills. Not only could he turn into a crow and follow him quietly for so long, but he also seemed to have the ability to cover up his voice, which made everyone on the entire ship not hear his yelling just now...
If the other party can help, wouldn’t I have the chance to escape from the control of Vito and his group and regain control of his own destiny?
"Me?"
In Heckhiji's eyes, the fat white man scratched the back of his head and showed a kind and gentle smile, "Then let me introduce myself. My husband is named Gandalf. He has just come out of the mountains for a few months and is the butler who has worked for the Corleon family for decades."
"Oh by the way."
He said this, as if he remembered something, and patted his head with some distress:
"Although I don't know the reason, the young master always said that my husband's temperament is not worthy of this name, so he kept calling me Lao Gan, Sethy and Yano, and he has been shouting like this over the years, and he is almost used to calling me."
