Pirate Journalist

Chapter 9 Monitoring
Following Murphy's exchange, a black phone bug appeared in his hand.

This little thing was extremely small, only the size of a button, and it was looking at him with bright eyes.

He picked up the phone bug and studied it for a while, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the phone bug is very simple to control, he only needs to open the system and issue commands to remotely control it.

The screens and sounds monitored by the phone bug will be directly stored in the system. He can watch and listen directly in the system, or output them to other devices, which is quite convenient.

Worthy of being produced by the system, it must be a boutique!

Immediately, he leaned back on the chair, and with a thought, he began to control the black phone bug.

This ship is not a new ship. There are many patches on the hull, and the whole ship exudes a decaying atmosphere.

Cracks and holes are everywhere.The little phone bug is like a duck to water, shuttling around.

A sound came over, which shocked Murphy, and immediately controlled the phone bug to go towards the source of the sound.

There was a little light in the small cracks in the hull, and when I looked at the light, the blue sky and white clouds came into view, and the pirate ship had already set sail and was sailing on the sea.

Through the immersive touch of the system, Murphy seemed to be able to smell the salty sea breeze, and seemed to be able to jump into the sea with a light jump.

There were two pirates on the deck who were talking in a low voice, the two he met when he got on the ship.

One was a middle-aged pirate who wanted to drive Murphy off the ship, and the other was younger.

The phone bug moved forward along the gap below the deck, and didn't stop until it could hear the conversation between the two.

"Brother, don't be sorry, you have already reminded him, if he doesn't leave, there is nothing you can do!"

The young pirate patted the middle-aged pirate on the shoulder, as if comforting him.

There is nothing wrong with this action alone, but when it is combined with the young man's dialogue, Murphy is a little confused.

"Hey, I didn't know why I flinched back then. If my attitude had been tougher, that brat wouldn't have stayed on the boat."

The tone of the middle-aged pirate was full of remorse. At that time, Murphy just gave him a look with a smile, but he couldn't say anything. It's still very strange to think about it now.

"This is fate, who told that kid not to leave?"

"Hey, based on that kid's appearance, Needham will definitely...let him be the 'second-in-command'."

Deputy captain?
The more Murphy listened, the more strange it became. These two people seem to be fine!

"Hey, brother, don't put it so nicely, you're still the vice-captain! Everyone on our ship doesn't know that this 'co-captain' is a warmer person. To put it bluntly, Needham is just greedy for that kid's body? "

hiss!
Murphy, who was leaning on the chair, sucked in a breath of air. No wonder he always felt that something was wrong with the chill. He thought about everything, and even thought of the possibility of a slave ship, but he didn't think of such a thing.

Warm quilt?
Bah, asshole!

"Indeed, but then Morrie will step down from the position of 'second-in-command', and he will be much more relaxed."

"Morrie is a good man, and I don't know how that kid will behave when he becomes the 'deputy captain'. No matter how bad it is, the deputy captain can order us. I just hope that kid won't take it out on us when he goes crazy!"

"That's the only way. We are just the bottom of this sea, and our fate can only be determined by others. I really miss the time when we didn't go to sea!"

……

Murphy watched them talk farther and farther away, and there was no more worthwhile conversation, so he controlled the phone bug and left.

Fortunately, through the conversation between the two, he already knew what he should know.

He also understood in his heart why the man named Mori was kind to him.

Dare to think that Murphy can replace his work, tsk, as a tool person with a special role, it is really difficult for him.

However, Murphy felt that he still needed to reflect on why he was being targeted.

When pirates encounter strangers on the sea, they need to measure the combat power of both sides.

But he was underestimated by Nelson in the bar. At that time, he was really weak, but now, he has become much stronger, and he has been ignored again.

Is he the type to look like a bully?

Should... not.

This time, being missed by the female pirate is obviously the fault of her appearance.

It's not that he looks bully, but that his appearance is too outstanding!

There is no other way!

Appearance is innate and cannot be changed at will. Since this is the case, there is no need to reflect on it.

The troublesome problem was solved, and Murphy suddenly felt enlightened.

He decided to continue manipulating the phone bug to go to the captain's room to see if there was anything against him, the turtle in his urn.

The black phone bug probably thought it could see something, and excitedly wriggled forward. The speed was not slow, and it shuttled between various gaps, and soon found the place that probably was the captain's cabin.

It's a pity that there is no one in the house. The only thing that can show the status of this house is the captain's hat on the table. If you have to say it, the treasure chest and some gold and silver treasures placed in the corner are also counted.

While there was no one around, the phone bug walked around the house. There was no way to open the treasure chest, and there was no way to know what was inside, which made Murphy a little worried.

Then he saw a stack of reward orders on the table. The first one belonged to Captain Needham himself, with a reward of 3200 million.

Seeing the amount of the reward, Murphy was a little relieved. Although this number is a judgment based on a combination of various factors, most of the time, it can still represent the strength of a pirate.

According to Murphy's estimate, the 3200 million bounty is below his strength, and he should not be his opponent if he goes head-to-head. Instead, what he needs to beware of is the indiscriminate means that the opponent may use.

While thinking about it, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"what happened?"

Morrie's voice came through the door: "It's time for dinner."

"please wait for a while."

He found a hidden gap in the captain's cabin, manipulated the phone bug to crawl there, and then reduced the real-time transmission screen to a corner of his line of sight, so that he would not need to control the phone bug, nor would it affect his usual behavior , but also pay attention to the monitoring screen at any time.

Murphy opened the door and found Morrie standing upright outside the house.

There was a glimmer of light outside the window, passing through the permeating dust, and shining on the two of them appropriately.

Murphy's expression was a bit strange, but the light was behind him, his face was dark and gloomy, making it impossible to see the situation.

And Murphy couldn't see Morrie's gaze clearly either. He was facing the light, and the slight white glow reflected from his glasses covered his eyes, and he could only see his smile. He said, "Come with me, It’s impossible to replenish your physical strength at sea.”

Speaking of which, Murphy hadn't had time to eat and was indeed hungry, but the situation before him made him hesitate for a while.

This is not a home, nor a restaurant, but on a pirate ship that is hostile to him.

To eat, or not to eat?
