Chapter 041 Chapter 41
This is not true, how could this happen?
He had killed this boy twice! Twice!
Dou Wen was sure that it was not an illusion. The feeling of the knife piercing the boy's flesh still remained on his hand, and the blood on his body and face was not fake. So why was this person still here?
Kill him, and try again!
Dou Wen gripped the knife tightly and walked towards the boy with a ferocious look, his hands trembling. The boy lying on the ground and sleeping was obviously just a weak-looking boy, but Dou Wen's vigilant attitude was like he was approaching a sleeping tiger.
He stepped very lightly, for fear of waking the other person up and swallowing him up in one gulp.
When the knife in his hand could touch the boy, Dou Wen stopped, gripped the knife tightly and stabbed it down hard.
He lifted it up and stabbed it again, over and over again. The sound of "puff" was heard many times, until the floor beneath his feet was soaked with blood.
After stabbing for several minutes, Dou Wen's movements slowed down. He gasped and carefully reached out his hand to feel the boy's breath.
The boy didn't move at all, just like a real corpse.
No, it's a corpse. He's dead, absolutely dead.
Dou Wen put away the knife, grabbed the boy's arms and dragged him onto the deck, leaving a long trail of blood on the deck.
He walked to the side of the boat, lifted the man up, and then gave a kick. With a splash, the man fell into the sea.
"It's okay, this time it's definitely..." Dou Wengan laughed a few times. Only he knew how panicked he was now.
Dou Wen, who threw the boy into the sea again, did not enter the cabin immediately. Instead, he waited for a long time and walked towards the cabin in small steps after making sure there were no strange sounds.
There were still traces of blood on the ground, so the boy in the cabin must have also...
Leaning my head towards the cabin, I saw the young man in the corner smacking his lips and sleeping soundly.
There were bloodstains under the boy's body.
"Ah..." Dou Wen took two steps back.
This guy is definitely not a human being.
During the day, some crew members whispered that the boy was a mermaid, but Dou Wen did not believe it at the time. There were no mermaids in the world. He must have been a boy who fell into the sea from somewhere and was lucky enough not to be drowned, but was pulled out by them.
Do they eat a lot? Of course they eat a lot during the growth period. How much can those fish eat without removing their bones and heads?
Now Dou Wen had to believe it, because it was impossible for a human being to die once, twice, or even three times and then reappear.
Dou Wen was very scared. He didn't care about the sleeping boy and the blood on the ground. He wanted to escape from here. But he was on the boat, surrounded by the vast sea, and he had nowhere to escape. Dou Wen was not scared to the point of losing his mind and jumping into the sea. His only option now was to look for his companion Jiang Xiaomao.
Jiang Xiaomao was operating various instruments in the captain's cabin to control the course.
Seeing Dou Wen banging on the door with a terrified look on his face, Jiang Xiaomao was startled, thinking that someone had woken up and discovered something was wrong. When he saw that it was Dou Wen, covered in blood and looking terrified, Jiang Xiaomao asked nervously, "Did something happen?"
Dou Wen nodded repeatedly, but his lips were trembling and he couldn't speak. He saw a kettle on the table, and without caring who it belonged to, he opened it and took a sip, and then he told him about the bizarre incident of killing three young men.
Jiang Xiaomao believed it immediately. He was one of the people who suspected that the boy was a mermaid, and he knew Dou Wen. This man would not lie like this.
"What should we do?" Jiang Xiaomao asked, "Should we abandon the boat and run away?"
"Run away, where are you going!" Dou Wen said angrily, "Jump into the sea? You'll freeze to death if you don't drown! It's okay, the mermaid hasn't made any move yet, increase the speed of the boat to the maximum, we have to reach the convergence area as soon as possible. Once we meet up with the people over there, we can use their boat to escape."
"But... that's not the plan." Jiang Xiaomao whispered, "According to the plan, we should seize this ship and then let the boss and his men take over the goods, right?"
"We failed to seize the ship, which affected the transportation of the boss's goods..." Jiang Xiaomao's face turned pale when he thought of the possible punishment. "If the goods are not delivered to the next customer, even if we flee abroad, we will be arrested and our backs will be broken!"
When Jiang Xiaomao thought of such a future, he trembled with fear.
That’s right, killing people, seizing the boat, and transporting goods for the boss and his men was the real purpose of Jiang Xiaomao and Dou Wen going out to sea this time.
As for the goods, they are of course from abroad, some kind of addictive illegal substances.
Cross-border smuggling, sea transportation has always been more convenient and covert than land transportation. Those who can transport such things at sea are gangs with strong backgrounds. However, cross-border ships are often checked when they land, while fishing boats that only sail near the coast are not noticed when they dock. As long as they encounter fishing boats at sea and buy fresh seafood from the boats, they can quietly transfer the goods and bring them to the shore without anyone noticing.
However, if you do this kind of thing too much, you will inevitably be discovered. Jiang Xiaomao and Dou Wen agreed with the boss to do it for a few months, and then they would go abroad and get involved in such transactions from other places. This kind of deadly work is not done in vain. The commission is based on the volume of goods transported. Working for a few months is enough for many people to earn for 20 or 30 years. The income is very rich. It just happened that they had the capital to go abroad to work hard.
As a result, the plan was aborted just as it began because of a siren?
Jiang Xiaomao was very scared. He was not only afraid of the sea monster, but also afraid of murder and the criminal gangs who killed people without blinking an eye. Dou Wen was also afraid, but rather than being afraid, he was more unwilling.
The money is clearly right in front of you, but if you reach out for it you risk getting ripped off, yet if you don't touch it it's too tempting.
Dou Wen came up with a plan: "Except for the monster, I will deal with the others. You drive the boat and we will go to the rendezvous according to the plan. Then we will hand the boat over to the people over there."
Jiang Xiaomao: “…Huh?”
"Whether it's a monster or a fishing boat, just leave it to them." Dou Wen gritted his teeth, "Anyway, the boss only asked us to get a boat to transport the goods, and he didn't necessarily ask us to drive the boat to transport it ourselves."
Jiang Xiaomao: "But this..."
"That's it!" Dou Wen held the knife tightly, wiped his face with the back of his hand, and rubbed the sweat mixed with blood onto his clothes, "I'm going to kill them now."
Jiang Xiaomao was at a loss, and finally he decided to do what the man said. Just like Dou Wen said, they had no way out.
He and Dou Wen are both wanted fugitives, and precisely because of this, they can commit such a serious crime without hesitation. They have already been struggling in the mud, so who would care whether there will be more mud on their bodies?
Jiang Xiaomao silently increased the speed of the fishing boat to the fastest.
On the other side, Dou Wen held the knife and went to the lower cabin first, where the crew slept. The fishing boat was not very big, and there was not much space to squeeze in a few people's sleeping space between the cold storage and the machinery. The beds were so small that you couldn't stretch your legs straight, so you could only lie on your side and curl up to sleep. Four people shared a small compartment, which was very crowded and narrow.
In this situation, even the captain did not receive any special treatment. Xia Guo and everyone else were in the crowded little room, recovering their physical strength and spirit from their hard work of fishing every day.
Several men were snoring loudly in their sleep. The small door of the compartment was gently pushed open, and a butcher-like man, covered in blood and holding a knife in his hand, walked in quietly.
Dou Wen's movements were very smooth. It was not the first time he had done such a thing. It was also not the first time he had stabbed the young boy Tong. He was even somewhat familiar with it.
After a few slashes, Dou Wen dragged the corpse out of the cabin, passed the upper cabin, and before he stepped onto the deck, he saw an empty corner out of the corner of his eye. Dou Wen was so frightened that his heart went cold and he froze in place.
The boy is missing.
He killed him three times, and then the boy who appeared in this corner three times disappeared.
The bloodstains were still there, both on his body and on the floor. The drag mark that spread to the deck was also very clear. The air was filled with the smell of fish and sea, as well as a very faint smell of blood that seemed to dissipate at any time.
How come it disappeared?
Did he leave after waking up, or did he actually kill that guy and everything before that was just an illusion?
Dou Wen couldn't figure it out, so he decided not to consider these problems for the time being and to get rid of these people first.
Dou Wen has already dealt with the rest of the people. What he has to do now is to clear their bodies from the ship, starting with two of them.
The first two crew members that Dou Wen dragged out were thin and weak. Dou Wen carried them to the deck and threw them into the sea.
Two people have been eliminated, and there are four left.
Dou Wen returned to the place where the crew members slept, and as soon as he entered, he was stunned. Because the two crew members he threw into the sea were lying on the beds, snoring loudly.
Falling asleep?
I looked at the others again. They had died cleanly. The wounds were still there, but their bodies were losing heat and would soon become stiff and cold.
Why?
He had clearly solved it and thrown it into the sea, so why was he back here? And still alive?
ocean?
Yes, it’s the ocean’s problem!
"They came back to life because I threw them into the sea!" Dou Wen laughed wildly. "That's right, that's why the guy who was picked up wasn't a mermaid. The problem wasn't with the people, it was with this sea!"
"As long as we leave this sea area, everything will be fine." Dou Wen seemed crazy, "They won't be resurrected, and everything will be back to normal."
They could seize the ship as planned, smuggle goods for their boss, make a lot of money, and then sneak out of the country to develop their own power overseas.
Unlike Jiang Xiaomao, the cowardly guy who accidentally killed someone and was wanted and wanted to run away, Dou Wen has big ideals. He wants to be the boss of the underworld/evil forces, he wants to command the support of everyone and he wants to be the king.
"What's the noise..." The crew member who was originally sleeping soundly was woken up. He muttered vaguely and wanted to turn over, but failed due to the narrow space. This crew member was obviously accustomed to this kind of life. He moved the pillow and continued to sleep without opening his eyes.
The next second, the sound of a knife piercing flesh was heard.
"Hahaha..." Dou Wen laughed excitedly, "I know how to solve it. It will work this time."
As he spoke, the man excitedly grasped the knife and swung it again and again, and drops of blood dripped from the handle.
Little did he know that at this moment, the missing boy was sitting cross-legged on the top of the fishing boat, with the salty sea breeze blowing in his face. The boy narrowed his bright red eyes and laughed in a low voice: "Idiot."
