Chapter 14 Pirate Ship 13 He is lying, he is not a doctor, he...
After Baichuan went out to find Su Ming, the room became quiet again. Baichuan was a person who knew the importance of things very well. After An Rao expressed his needs, he didn't even ask what the rules of death and the boss were.
He was an ideal teammate—if he wasn't "hunting" him, An Rao thought with great regret.
An Rao's eyes fell on the dagger on the cabinet. The pure gold emitted the unique light of jewelry in this old and gloomy room, tempting people to approach, to grab it, and to die.
The logbook solved most of the mysteries, and the rest could only be filled in and guessed based on the existing clues, so that every step in An Rao's subsequent plan became a gamble. Any mistake would result in death. It was like a fishing net with a hole in it. Since it was destined to be used, it could only be patched up with local materials. As for the effect, it could only be left to fate.
There was no time left. An Rao rolled up his sleeves and looked at his body which was filled with death. Then he struggled to lift the quilt, got out of bed and slowly walked to the cabinet. He reached out and picked up the jeweled dagger. It turned out that the dazzling jewels were so heavy.
It is now almost confirmed that the second half of Rule 5 of the Pirate Ship Game Rules, "Don't ■■■■■■", should mean "Don't touch gold, silver and jewelry."
An Rao lowered his eyes to look at the handle of the dagger, on which was engraved the words Duke of New Castle in elegant cursive English. The Duke of Newcastle was a famous duke in the history of the Eagle Country. He was extremely extravagant and ambitious, and insisted on taking the most advanced and luxurious Royal Battleship Mary Rose, which was then the Eagle Country's most advanced and luxurious, for a honeymoon with his new wife. However, he never returned, and he and the entire royal guard mysteriously disappeared without a trace, becoming a famous unsolved case in history. The disappearance of the best battleship and the crown prince dealt a great blow to the Eagle Country at that time, so that it was unable to recover and directly withdrew from the competition for maritime hegemony.
I never expected that the answer was hidden in this strange amusement park.
The missing sailing ship Mary Rose, which represented the highest combat power of the Eagle Navy at that time, was hijacked by a pirate leader named Pais, slaughtered all the people, and then cursed by vengeful spirits, becoming an invisible ghost ship on the sea. It has been floating on the sea for hundreds of years, exposed to the sun and rain, unable to dock, unable to abandon the ship and free itself, and unable to rest in peace forever.
"Tick, tick, tick..." The closer An Rao got to the deadline given by Jenny, the more he felt imprisoned. He was like a dead tree without vitality, and could only watch himself decay and wither.
Blood continued to flow out from An Rao's nose and then fell onto the dagger. The dark blood wrapped around the golden gold and colorful gems. It must be said that this combination created an extremely bloody beauty.
It was getting dark, and An Rao quickly used a quilt to wipe the blood off himself. Then he hid the dagger at his waist and went out decisively, moving towards the stairs with all his strength.
This time, An Rao walked down the stairs directly without the kerosene lamp. The black fog began to surge restlessly again, one wave higher than the other, anxiously trying to swallow him up.
"Jenny," An Rao stood in the lower cabin and simply closed his eyes because he couldn't see, "I want to make a deal with you."
The bottom cabin was silent, and the black fog became more agitated, even transforming into countless terrifying skeleton shapes, opening their mouths full of sharp teeth towards the soft human in front of them. They approached An Rao tentatively, and the sharp claws condensed from the black fog stretched out towards the soft and juicy human in front of them, but were dispersed into mist again the moment they touched him.
An Rao closed his eyes, unaware of the covetousness all around him, but he could clearly feel the heat emanating from his lower back that almost burned him.
“Deal? You dare to talk to me about deal?!” Jenny’s rough and terrifying voice appeared in her ears.
"Yes, deal." Being in Jenny's territory, An Rao felt the death aura on his body spread more quickly. The unique sweet smell of blood flowed out from the tip of his nose and the corners of his mouth. An Rao wiped the corners of his mouth and tried to keep himself decent. "Tonight I can let you see the princess, and I can also let you kill your enemies, but you must ensure that I and the people I designate leave this ship alive."
"Why should I agree to you?" Jenny's voice surrounded him. An Rao could even feel the black tentacles slowly wrapping around his body. "You, a mere human, dare to threaten me?"
"Because you can't get out." An Rao suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes had now adapted to the darkness in the cabin. Although there was no kerosene lamp, he could still clearly see the situation in the cabin and Jenny's extremely terrifying face.
These words were like a sharp thorn piercing her soft spot. Jenny began to scream almost immediately. The dark tentacles wrapped around An Rao tightly and lifted him into the air. If they were to let go, the fragile body of this porcelain doll, which was already filled with death energy, would be torn into pieces.
"How dare you threaten me!" Jenny was extremely angry.
"No, on the contrary, I just want to help you get out, so that you can see the people you want to see and kill the people you want to kill," An Rao was almost unable to breathe due to the tentacles. He tried to keep his voice steady while gasping for breath and said, "Don't you want to kill the people who trapped you here? Do you want to be trapped in this dark bottom cabin forever? Killing me will not do you any good, but completing this deal will make your wish come true."
"I can break the imprisonment spell, and do you want to go out and have some fun with me?"
The weak and pale young man in front of her looked obviously vulnerable, but the words that came out of his mouth were so magical. Yes, let’s go crazy, Jenny thought, isn’t this what she wanted most?
As a noble lady, I was chosen as the maid of the princess. As the princess married to the Eagle Kingdom, I never thought that the future would be so terrible! The other maid assigned to the princess was a despicable witch. She was coquettish and wanton, and even tried to seduce the Duke of Newcastle!
After the pirates captured the battleship, the witch betrayed everyone without hesitation, but the poor princess and herself were unable to break away from the decent style that they had developed from their strict education since childhood, and even apologized reflexively when they stepped on the pirates' feet.
Now, right now, Jenny felt that she really needed to go crazy. Kill! Kill them all! Kill them all! Avenge the princess!
"Don't you want revenge?"
The tentacle that was raised high fell down, and An Rao's feet finally stepped on the ground again. He won the first step.

On the way back with Bai Chuan, Su Ming kept chattering: "Brother Bai, do you know that someone just turned into a monster again? An anglerfish! Oh my god! Its teeth directly pierced the sea cucumber in front! My goodness, even the Blue Planet shot by BBC is not this shocking!"
"And that cone snail, let me tell you, Brother Bo, that cone snail was so excited that it was like a Gatling gun, shooting poison needles everywhere. Several people were hit, you know. Fortunately, it had shot all its needles when you came, otherwise you would have to see the villain too!"
"And... hey? Brother Bai, didn't you say my boss was looking for me? Where is he?" The nagging Su Ming and the icy Bai Chuan stood at the door of Room 14 with the door wide open, looking at the empty room with confusion on their faces.
"You're looking for death." Baichuan said expressionlessly as he looked at the cabinet without the golden dagger.
Su Ming: ...
"Then...then let's..." Su Ming, the young genius who won the IMO gold medal, followed Baichuan who turned around and left without hesitation. At this moment, he felt that his IQ was being trampled on the ground.
"Follow me." Baichuan opened the door of his room No. 12, walked straight to the cabinet and picked up the jeweled mirror.
"Didn't you say..." Su Ming was confused for a moment, then his eyes widened, "I understand!"
After saying that, the child turned around and ran, rushed into his room, resolutely held the golden snuff bottle in his hand, and then ran back to Room 12 panting to meet Baichuan.
"Disperse my boss's firepower. Huh... Huh..." Su Ming ran and panted. "I can't be left out of this!"

"Okay, you can try it after dark." An Rao said seriously after removing the last imprisonment spell.
"Really?" Jenny was skeptical.
"What good will it do me to lie to you? Your princess will kill anyone who touches the gold, silver, and jewelry." An Rao raised the dagger in his hand, "If you can't come tonight, I will be dead."
"I mean you're not a witch, how do you know how to break the curse?"
"Oh, this is thanks to a mysterious oriental wizard." An Rao smiled. He never expected that the well-informed and immature Su Ming would be so interested in medieval witch culture. He not only knew all kinds of witch spells, but also knew how to solve all kinds of witch curses. When Bai Chuan forced the cook to reveal the secret of the captain's room, he pulled out a lot of the cook's hair to remove the spell. An Rao carefully collected it when he was cleaning, and it came in handy now.
"Eastern wizard?" Jenny's terrifying black eye holes actually revealed an emotion similar to shock.
"So, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation," An Rao smiled politely, "Please ask Miss Jenny to come to Room 14 on the second deck tonight to save my life."
Baichuan sat on the bed in Room 12 with a cold expression on his face. Next to him was a fly named Su Ming, which was buzzing non-stop.
"Why don't you just go to the boss' room and wait?"
"What are we doing here?"
"Where the hell is my boss?"
"How can he act alone?"
"What will we do if anything happens to him?"
"Brother Bo, please say something!"
"Do you know him?" Baichuan finally spoke.
"Of course I know him, he even saved my life!" Su Ming screamed.
"I mean, do you know him in real life?"
"I..." Su Ming was stunned. He always called his boss by his name every day, but in fact, he didn't even know his name.
"He told me his name is Doctor Lin," Bai Chuan said with his eyes downcast, "He's lying. He's not a doctor. His last name may not even be Lin. So, kid, why do you care so much about his life or death?"
"I...but..." Su Ming looked at the snuff bottle in his hand, then looked at the mirror that Bai Chuan always held in his hand. He had a thousand words to say, but he was speechless for a moment.
"Protect yourself when you go out." Baichuan patted the shoulder of Su Ming, whose CPU had burned out.
Su Ming: ...
Have you adults lost the passion to stand up for your brothers?
An Rao returned to the corridor, glanced at the quiet room next door, then walked quietly into his room, quickly locked the door, sat on the edge of the bed and began to wait.
The daylight disappeared almost instantly. The wind was howling outside the window. Thick, dark clouds covered the sky. There was no moonlight or starlight. An Rao stood up and lit the kerosene lamp. The blood-stained golden dagger emitted a bright and gentle light in the dim light, like a blood-stained pirate gold coin, ominous, but tempting.
After an unknown amount of time, An Rao heard a faint singing voice. The singing voice was getting closer and closer, and An Rao finally heard the lyrics clearly.
"Blue sea, broken heart, my sweetheart, where are you now..."
This is an old French love song that tells the story of a wife who is alone in her empty house and misses her husband who is sailing away and has never returned.
"Do you know that someone is waiting for you, from the prime of youth to the end of your life?"
"Do you know that my face has aged? Do you know that my heart has become as hard as a rock on the seashore?"
Amidst the sad and angry questioning, the singing stopped in front of An Rao's door.
"Excuse me," a pleasant voice with a distinct French accent asked politely beside An Rao, "Do you know my husband, the Duke of Newcastle?"
