Let’s split the story into two parts. Let’s not talk about how the card game went in which Feng Bujue and Snow went together as teammates. Let’s first take a look at the situation on Honghu’s side.
Unlike Snow, Honghu was very familiar with Brother Jue... Therefore, when he confirmed that Feng Bujue was ready to explore "above the deck", he decisively entered the lower cabin.
This is a kind of trust, a kind of trust similar to "adversary".
Honghu believed that Feng Bujue could definitely handle all the related incidents on the deck without his help at all... so he left that area to maximize the team's efficiency.
"The difficulty of this script is indeed relatively low..." After wandering below the deck for more than ten minutes, Honghu also figured out some clues. "Except for the weapons depot, storage room and other places that are guarded, other places are basically covered.
You can come and go at will; moreover, these pirates are all dressed with "personality". From the appearance... we three "players" are not conspicuous. Under these conditions... there is a lot of room to fish in troubled waters.
.”
While Honghu was thinking, he continued to investigate; the first step in his plan was to find out the internal structure and basic map of the ship so that he could carry out subsequent actions.
However, when he passed the corridor outside the side door of the "bar" for the second time, suddenly... a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
"This...brother with glasses..."
It was a man's voice, and it didn't sound particularly distinctive. But Honghu knew that he must have heard this voice in the past, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.
"You...are calling me?" Honghu turned his head and asked while looking at the other person.
At this moment, the speaker's figure appeared in Honghu's sight.
This man was wearing a horizontally striped sweatshirt and a pair of coarse trousers, with the trouser legs rolled up to his knees. Looking at his face, he was probably in his thirties... He had leprosy on his face; although he was not old, he was
He has a hunched back like an old man and has to rely on a walking stick to support him when walking.
"Heh... there's no one else here, right?" the hunchbacked man smiled and replied.
"So...what's the matter with you?" Honghu looked very cautious when he responded.
Because he had already noticed something strange in the slightly contradictory title "Brother Glasses", and began to suspect... that the other party was a NPC who was far stronger than he appeared on the surface.
"I..." the hunchbacked man replied unhurriedly, "I just came to say hello to you. By the way... I want to remind you..." He paused for half a second before saying, "'You three' got on the boat.
Blackbeard already knows about this."
As soon as these words came out, Honghu was shocked, but on the surface he tried his best to maintain his composure and asked in a calm tone: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand."
"You don't have to pretend to me..." the hunchbacked man added, "Since I can tell you your number and the fact that you got on the ship, it means that I know much more than you think; of course,
You can also think that I 'saw something' or 'heard something', and then come here to deceive you... This is also your freedom. However, I will still make it clear what I should tell you..."
At this point, he was silent for two seconds, looked around, then lowered his voice and said to Honghu solemnly: "At this stage, as far as I know, the people on this ship know your identity...
Besides me, there should be two others. One is Captain Blackbeard, and the other is Laurent, the guard at the door of the third storage room..."
"Wait a minute." Upon hearing this, Honghu immediately interrupted the other party and asked, "Is the Laurent you are talking about the fat man sleeping in the hammock outside the storage room door?"
His words were obviously a test.
"Hmph..." The next second, the hunchbacked man sneered, "Do you really think... he is sleeping?"
These words made Honghu's expression change.
The hunchbacked man keenly caught the change in his expression, and then said: "If you want to survive here, you and your two companions must understand one thing, that is, there will be no weak people on Blackbeard's ship.
'.
Any one of these more than a hundred people, even if he is just a 'miscellaneous fish', must have something extraordinary about him.
Think about it carefully... Would a character like Blackbeard let a fat man who can only take a nap guard an important storage room? Think about it the other way around... a person who is ordered by Blackbeard to guard the storage room
How dare he sleep at his post?"
Honghu was speechless and couldn't help but feel ashamed for his carelessness.
"Okay, that's all I have to say." The hunchbacked man said, "You can decide for yourself what to do next. I hope... all three of you can reach Zui Demon Island alive."
After saying that, he leaned on the crutch and prepared to turn around and leave.
"Wait a minute..." Seeing this, Honghu hurriedly answered, "Who are you? Why do you want to help us?"
Now that things have happened, there is no need for him to continue to pretend, and he directly raised two very important questions.
"You don't need to know my identity and purpose for the time being." The hunchbacked man did not stop turning around, but softly replied in a voice that could be heard by the other party, "What about my name..." He hesitated for a moment, and then
He said, "Just call me 'Ken'."
…………
At the same time, above the deck, in the captain's cabin.
Blackbeard, sitting on a chair...sleeping.
To say "sleep" is actually not quite accurate, because he has never really "sleeped".
Strictly speaking, Blackbeard should be "dreaming while closing his eyes and resting his mind."
This is a very subtle and abnormal state that ordinary humans cannot experience.
In this state, Blackbeard is even more awake than when he is "awake"; he can not only listen to "Laurent"'s report in an illusory dream, but also be aware of the troubles around his body.
This...is Blackbeard's "sleep".
Some people think this is an excellent "ability", but in his own opinion, it is one of the many "curses" he bears.
"call……"
Suddenly, in an instant without warning, Blackbeard took a long breath and... opened his eyes.
"Not only was he able to sneak into my ship without any trace, but he also appeared in an impossible place..." After waking up, he began to talk to himself in his rough voice, "Huh... I seem to
I smell the smell of 'traveler from another world'..." (To be continued.)
