Chapter 38: Horror Cruise Ship. Is this kid...playing pitiful? ...
Gu Rong fell into the fishing net and was pulled up.
The crew of the ghost ship were stunned by the plump and tender little cub. They all came forward and looked at Gu Rong with curiosity, as if they had never seen a child before.
It would be fine if they didn't glare, but when they did, even if it was a glare of surprise, combined with their tattered "shark-like" appearance, it was still creepy enough.
But Gu Rong was dragged along obediently, looking at everyone fearlessly, his big eyes blinking.
Everyone's eyes widened, and it looked even more intimidating.
Oh, little fat boy, he has a nose and eyes, he is alive, he can blink and move!
A crew member asked, "Can this cub be eaten? Will it taste better than the devil shark?"
Another crew member said, "It's so small, isn't it enough to share? Otherwise, we can make soup with the cubs. Those who don't get the meat can still get some soup."
[You guys are really dreaming, and you're even talking about cub soup! Hurry up and serve it to me! [Reward points]]
[Low oil and salt, no green onions and cilantro, thank you! [Reward points]]
[I don't want the baby cub soup, I want the steamed baby cub with rice flour, which has a softer texture! [Reward points]]
[Hahahaha, you guys actually ordered some! I just dipped them in soy sauce and ate them straight away, one bite at a time!]
…
The crew member holding Gu Rong, wearing a hat, grinned and said, "Haven't you figured it out yet? This cub is the prince of the Star Sea Continent! We've captured the prince of the Star Sea Continent!"
After a moment of surprise, the crew members started talking at once.
"The prince of Xinghai Continent? He's dressed so raggedly, almost as lowly as us. Why are there patches on his overalls?"
"Oh, is it General Nicholas's posthumous child? I remember Sophia stole a cub and later lost it. Could this be it?"
"Back then, Sophia stole the Second Prince and the Soul Ring. We, the lowly race that crossed the abyss of the deep sea, relied on the Soul Ring to establish our own kingdom, completely breaking away from the Star Sea Continent and becoming independent. But before Sophia died, she left behind some last words."
"Sophia told us to find the second prince at all costs. Look, after searching everywhere for him, he finally found him without any effort. Now he is in our hands."
…
Gu Rong couldn't understand what they were saying. He was lifted up in the air and swung back and forth like a swing.
Little baby voice: "Let the cub go!"
Crew members: “…”
Oh my, it can actually talk!
The group of lowly creatures who crossed the deep-sea ghost den escaped the control of the Star Sea Continent, but there is no free lunch in the world, and they soon discovered the disadvantages.
They are like the dead, immortal, but unable to give birth to offspring.
They became monsters.
They hadn't seen such a lively and soft child for a long time.
The crew members rushed over, put Gu Rong on the deck, and rescued him from the fishing net.
Then they all stared at the cub blankly like stupid geese.
As soon as Gu Rong escaped from the fishing net, she tugged at her clothes with her little hands; they were soaked.
He looked at the overalls carefully, but he didn't see any patches!
006: [There is one behind the buttocks. ]
Gu Rong: [Oh.]
On the ghost ship, the crew were all circling around Gu Rong. On the Pharaoh, everyone was shocked and frightened, almost going crazy.
The ministers were worried that since they hadn't figured out whether the cub was real or fake, this cub might be the little prince. The second prince was raised by the inferior race and represented the interests of the inferior race. To be honest, they were not worried about the second prince.
King Louis XIII looked at the ghost ship opposite, silent, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao were very familiar with Gu Rong. They were quite close to Gu Rong and just now they saw clearly that Gu Rong jumped into the fishing net on the opposite side by himself.
The two looked at each other.
Could it be that Rongrong has received another mission?
A minister asked Louis XIII: "Your Majesty, should we take action now?"
Louis XIII's voice was calm and composed, "Wait and see what happens."
It means to keep the troops on hold for the time being.
Minister: “Yes.”
The players' task is to find the Soul Ring. They listened to the conversation between the minister and the king, but couldn't make out anything, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
According to the background of the copy, the nanny Sophia stole the soul ring and the second prince, and the second prince was lost. There was no mention of the whereabouts of the soul ring, so it must have fallen into the hands of a lowly creature.
The king personally led the elite troops deep into the deep sea ghost den in order to regain the soul ring. Finding the second prince was more like a cover.
The soul ring is most likely in the hands of those lowly creatures on the ghost ship opposite, but it is unknown whether it is on the ship.
But since the lowly creatures have crossed the deep sea ghost den and seized a piece of maritime territory, they must have a stronghold. As long as we find the stronghold of these lowly creatures, we can find the soul ring.
*
Gu Rong was wet and his clothes were heavy and uncomfortable.
A two-year-old cub, alone in the enemy camp, was not afraid at all when faced with so many strange and bizarre-looking adults.
He raised his snow-white face and looked at the crew member who lifted him up, Isaac, and said in a baby voice, "Uncle, my clothes are soaked. What should I do?"
Isaac: “……?”
What should I do? Damn it!
How would he know what to do!
There are two hollow pieces of skin on Isaac's face, but they can still be vaguely distinguished. When his skin was intact, he must have been quite handsome.
And if you look closely you can tell that he is very young, probably only about twenty years old, but his skin is weathered and broken, making him look like he is in his early thirties.
The babyish word "Uncle" left Isaac stunned for a long time.
After a long while, he said, "What's the matter? We don't have any children's clothes on the boat, and everyone's clothes are wet."
The crew members on the ghost ship are immortal and their faces are so torn up, but no one cares... Of course, there is nothing they can do about it, and no one cares about just wet clothes.
Gu Rong was a sensible kid with a sweet tongue who could read people's faces. He knew that the people on the boat were all strangers and would not indulge him, so he said pitifully, "Uncle, can you please dry my clothes? I don't want to wear wet clothes. I'll get sick!"
He covered his forehead with his hands and bowed like a lucky cat: "Please!"
Isaac: “…”
Everyone: “…”
This kid... is he pretending to be pitiful?
You know what, this is really a little too cute. It's so small, but it's so human-like!
The crew members had not been in contact with children for a long time and had no power to resist.
[I have to say, these crew members' skin is all torn and patched up, which makes them look quite cute.]
[That's because, facing Zai Zai, in this dungeon before, have you ever seen any crew member of the ghost ship get involved with Dai Meng?]
[Who can resist a cute creature, especially one that only knows how to act cute and coquettish? [Reward points]]
…
Ten minutes later, Gu Rong was brought into the cabin. A crew member held him and sat him on a small bench in front of the fireplace, letting the little cub warm himself by the fire.
Gu Rong was warming himself by the fire and swinging his legs, seemingly completely unaware of his current situation.
A dozen crew members were sitting or standing not far away, all looking at the little guy who was shaking his head.
They had strange appearances, and any normal human cub would be frightened and cry, but Gu Rong had no reaction at all.
But this kid has only seen the world!
After a moment, Isaac said, "Hey, little one, did you fall into our net on purpose? Or were you thrown in by those people on the Pharaoh?"
Although he didn't see how Gu Rong fell into the fishing net, but at that distance, even if the cub fell into the water, it would only fall around the Pharaoh, instead of falling accurately into the ghost ship's fishing net a hundred meters away.
Gu Rong's clothes were almost dried. Although they were still damp, they were much better than before and not so uncomfortable to wear.
Of course, it was not the fireplace's credit, but the drying agent that 006 bought for him from the system mall. It can dry clothes within an hour. If it dries too quickly, it will arouse suspicion.
Isaac snorted and laughed. "What are you trying to do here on our ghost ship, little brat? What's your purpose?"
Gu Rong patted himself and said tenderly, "Zizi wants to be the captain of the little boat!"
Isaac: “……?”
Everyone: “???!”
There was a moment of silence.
Unbridled laughter erupted in the cabin.
Gu Rong tilted his little head, not smiling, but just looked at these uncles and smiled.
This is a misunderstanding. These uncles are actually just brothers. They just look old, but they are actually very young.
When the royal family sent out lowly creatures to explore the deep sea ghost den, they selected young people with strong bodies. Once they crossed the deep sea ghost den, they would be immortal and would never grow old again.
Naturally, the deep-sea ghost den has no delicious food or wine. They can only eat the fish and shrimp in the deep-sea ghost den, such as the devil shark.
But anyone who has eaten the devil shark knows how it tastes. It is simply not suitable for human consumption. It is like eating rotten corpse meat.
But they are like walking corpses and are not real people at all.
After hearing what Gu Rong said, everyone laughed uncontrollably for three minutes, as if Gu Rong had said something funny.
In fact, it's really funny.
Putting aside other things, how could Gu Rong, a little baby only two feet tall, actually dream of becoming the captain of a ghost ship?
Isaac looked at the little cub, which was not even as long as his arm, and the little boy looked back at him with a serious face. It seemed that he was not joking, but was very serious.
Faced with everyone's ridicule, the little cub was not angry, nor was he scared to tears.
Despite his young age, he is so calm.
One crew member said, "Hahaha, you? You're not even as long as my arm, and you actually want to be the captain of our ghost ship!"
"Oh, children's words are innocent. You actually take what children say seriously?"
"Who takes this seriously? Can't you see we're all laughing?"
"I'm not serious, what are you laughing at?"
"...Haha, our ghost ship doesn't need a captain. Even if it's the Second Prince of the Star Sea Continent, the Second Prince that Sophia asked us to find, we have nothing to fear."
Gu Rong's little face was pale, he just looked at them without saying anything.
Isaac looked at Gu Rong and said, "Little ghost, you may not know this, but the ghost ship has no captain, and never has."
Gu Rong was honest: "Phuket Island."
Isaac: “…”
The baby voice made him stutter for a moment.
After a pause, he continued, "Why do you think the ghost ship has no captain? It's because we've been constrained on the Star Sea Continent for far too long. We've been oppressed to the point of rebellion. We're sick of being trampled on like slaves, and we're sick of having to wait for orders to be given our way."
"Each of us is our own king, and we obey no one's orders!"
Isaac: "But even without a captain, we can still unite. Do you know why?"
Gu Rong: "Phuket Island."
Isaac: “…”
This overly well-behaved look made Isaac almost forget what he was going to say.
After a pause, he regained his composure: "Because we are all oppressed inferior species. The inferior species are the natives of the Xinghai Continent. We are born with excellent genes. Only we, the inferior species, can cross the deep sea ghost den."
"Those who enslave will be enslaved, and those who abuse will be abused."
