Chapter 1698 Mysterious Curse
Less than 2 minutes after Farland finished speaking, Captain Monta uttered a weak groan, and then woke up:

"Where am I?"

Flander stepped forward and pulled out the thorns on Captain Monta's body, and said:
"I'm a doctor who came to treat you, and now it seems that I'm lucky."

Captain Monta gasped for a while, then looked at the two of them, his cloudy old eyes gradually cleared up, and then said to Fang Linyan:

"It looks like I've been in a coma for a long time, right?"

Fang Linyan smiled and said:
"Yes, according to Susie's description, you suddenly fell ill while drinking, so you should have been unconscious for twelve days."

"Twelve days is such a long time." Captain Monta sighed with some vicissitudes.

Fang Linyan called Xingyi directly and told her to bring Suzi here.

Soon, there was a touching scene of father and daughter reuniting and crying in each other's arms. Fang Linyan and his group waited quietly by the side.

After the emotions of the two calmed down a little, Susie came over wiping her tears, and said timidly:
"Thank you very much, please leave me a bank account number, I will insist on sending money into it every month, I am still young, I can endure hardship, and I can work three jobs every day, you guys I will pay back the money as soon as possible.”

At this time, Susie was probably still in the stage of ecstasy, so she ignored how her father went from the ward to the garden.

Fang Linyan smiled and said:
"Don't be so troublesome. I came to find Captain Monta. Actually, I need to ask him for help."

"Ms. Susie, your father's illness is very, very serious, and it has almost reached the point where ordinary doctors can't do anything. That's why I invited this Mr. Farland to see him."

"Of course, the cost of his attack this time is very high. If you have to measure it in money, it should be at least eight figures. There is a high probability that you won't be able to earn that much money in your entire life!"

Su Xi was dumbfounded. She wanted to refute Fang Linyan's words, but the doctor's evaluation of her father's physical condition could not be false.

How much is human life worth?This is actually a very philosophical question, but to Suzy, her father's life is priceless.

At this time, Captain Monta coughed slightly, then waved to his daughter and said:
"Would you go get me a pack of Marlboros? You know what I like to smoke."

Susie said in shock:

"How can you still smoke now?"

Captain Monta sighed:
"My body knows by itself that I won't live long, so let's enjoy the last time while I can still move. Why don't you go?"

Susie said tearfully:
"I have no money"

Xingyi immediately embraced her shoulders, then stuffed her with a wad of money and asked her to run errands. At this time, Captain Monta looked at Fang Linyan and said:

"Now, can you say what you want?"

Fang Linyan said:

"Susie must have made it clear what we did before, and we came here with good intentions, so I think you should be very cooperative with me. After all, we have paid a great price for you."

"More importantly, if you want to get this price back from a strong girl like Susie, it will not be a pleasant thing."

Captain Monta sighed slightly:

"You don't have to threaten me. I'm about to die. How can I trouble my daughter? Tell me, what do you want to know?"

Fang Linyan said:

"It may be unbelievable to say, but you must believe that what I say is true, because no one will joke about hundreds of thousands of dollars (referring to the resources consumed on Captain Monta)."

"In the past year, I have always had the same dream. In the dream, many details will be forgotten. The only thing I remember deeply is that there is a mysterious voice asking me for help."

Fang Linyan noticed that after he said the last sentence, Captain Monta's breathing became much faster, obviously reminding him of something that made him nervous, but he still didn't speak
Then Fang Linyan continued:
"Just ten days ago, I had the same dream again. Although I still forgot some things in this dream, I saw some pictures before the dream was about to end."

"A shabby grocery store, but the interior looks like a cabin, and there are two people drinking. Although I forget their appearance, I remember that one of them is called Captain Monta!"

"There is no doubt that these pictures made me firmly remember two key points: the grocery store in the cabin, Captain Monta. And it just so happens that I still have a little power and a little money, so I began to tirelessly follow these two clues. Searched for it, and luckily found you after the doctor pronounced that you were about to die."

Captain Monta nodded:

"Thank you for doing these things for me, I know what you are here for."

He sighed and said:

"So you are also a victim of that mysterious curse."

Fang Linyan immediately said:

"Sorry, but could you be more specific?"

Captain Monta nodded, then pointed to the tip of his nose and said:

"Then please allow me to introduce myself first. David Monta, 63 years old this year, has been the captain of the crabbing ship Santa Maria since [-] until three years ago."

Then, he took a sip of water and continued:
"Of course, I also have an underground identity, that is, a flower turban (core) of the Williams faction in the lame gang. My first sailing every year is actually not to catch crabs, but to sell the cargo that has sunk under the sea. Bring it back to the gang—the stuff from far away Colombia."

"So he's an old smuggler." Fang Linyan simply put a label on Captain Monta, and said silently in his heart.

Captain Monta continued:
"During last year's harvest season, we set off again with a group of people to Alaska to catch those big guys (king crabs) that live on the bottom of the sea. , and then give us a lot of money in exchange.”

Fang Linyan has seen a documentary, which describes the hard work and danger of fishing for crab boats:
The low temperature of more than ten degrees below zero and the terrifying wind and waves in the Bering Strait are trivial. The biggest threat to the crew is the crab pots used to catch king crabs.

Each of these cages is two meters long and one meter high, and they are welded with hard steel bars. Otherwise, they will be easily escaped by the fierce big guys inside. At the same time, they are also designed to resist the strong wind and waves that exceed six or seven levels all year round. , so each crab pot weighs several tens of kilograms.

And for the convenience of recycling, these cages are put into the sea in a row of more than a dozen.

During this process, if someone is caught by a crab pot, they will either lose their limbs or be taken into the sea to die on the spot.

The point is that crabbing is still in a hurry. It is common for workers to work overtime to fight tiredness, and even drink some wine to warm up. Therefore, dead people are no longer news during the annual crabbing season, and undead people are rare.

"Very hard work." Fang Linyan nodded and commented with emotion.

And Captain Monta didn't answer, probably because he has been in the industry for decades, and he has been used to these things for a long time, right?And his next voice became more dignified, probably referring to the meat part:

"But at this time, a very strange thing happened. After we came to a place where crabs were infested, we went out of the cage as usual, and then came back three hours later to collect the cage."

"As a result, part of the closed cage was damaged. You know our crab cage, right? It was welded by finger-thick steel bars, but it broke directly, and it wasn't the kind of fracture caused by metal fatigue."

"The fracture is flat and smooth, even revealing fresh unoxidized traces inside! Do you know that this effect can only be achieved by a big man holding a vise, and the layering of the fracture will be very strong."

"One of the guys on the ship is a veteran mechanic. After seeing this fracture, he said bluntly that only a professional metal cutting machine, or a monster like the Terminator, holding a special alloy steel ax can cut such a fracture. .”

Fang Linyan thought for a while, and then checked the information of the crab cage, and found that Captain Monta's guy really wasn't lying:

The metal railings of the crab cages need to be specially customized because of the corrosion resistance of seawater and the violent collision when the crab cages are lowered and lifted, and the hardness is amazing.

Captain Monta continued:
"Then, the terrible curse came. First, the old sea dog Harry fell into the sea when he put the cage. The old dog started working on the crab boat at the age of 19, known as the crab boat. A guy who will be safe even if he sinks."

"Then there's the alarm clock Kenth, he fell into the sea on a night shift, and this guy likes to stand on the side of the boat and pee into the sea. In the end, there were eleven people on our boat when we set off, but we managed to get back to the port. Only seven."

Fang Linyan pondered for a while and said:
"Maybe it's a coincidence? Excuse me, but I really don't see any curse."

Captain Monta rolled up his hospital gown with some difficulty, and then he could see a strange birthmark on the upper edge of his abdomen:

This thing presents a spiral-shaped peculiar pattern, and the specific details are somewhat vague, but it is bright red, similar to the color of red moles on the human body
"This thing slowly appeared after our ship docked, and it is still changing."

Fang Linyan said:

"What change? Didn't it start like this?"

Captain Monta shook his head:
"Of course not. At the beginning, the skin there was soft, but then it slowly hardened, and then there was a pain like a needle prick! I went to the doctor for treatment, and they concluded that it was the damn skin fibers Keratosis!!"

Fang Linyan suddenly felt that the diagnosis result was a bit familiar, but he couldn't think of anything specific for a while, so he looked at Xingyi, and she simply sent a private message to Lin Yan, but it only had five words:

"Corns or plantar warts."

Seeing this familiar word, Fang Linyan almost didn't laugh out loud, and couldn't help but said to Captain Monta:

"The doctor you are looking for is serious?"

Captain Monta resentfully said:
"He sent me a four-digit bill, which included eight blood tests and five tests that I couldn't understand. Do you think I have reason not to believe this conclusion?",

"Then I went for cryosurgery according to his advice, which seemed to solve the problem, but it grew again after two months, and this time it was accompanied by severe pain! It was like a needle prick. Severe pain, can you understand that feeling? All the time, hundreds of small needles are poking your severe pain!"

Xingyi suddenly said:
"The information we have obtained shows that you were originally a self-disciplined person, even at a party, you drank at most two glasses of beer, but in the past two years, you have started to drink heavily, take drugs, and your health has deteriorated rapidly——so, this The curse is the reason for your rapid downfall?"

Captain Monta showed a helpless smile on his face, and then said slowly:
"Yeah, the pinprick pain that exists all the time is really maddening. Given the incompetence of the doctor, I can only drink and take drugs to anesthetize myself to avoid this terrible pain.

"Although I know that doing this is not good for the body, but in order to get rid of this pain, I can only do this."

Fang Linyan looked at Flander beside him, and Flander nodded, and whispered to Fang Linyan:

"My spiritual perception shows that there is a mysterious power near his brand. This power is very special, but like the power of flames, it is incompatible with the human body."

Then Fang Linyan chatted with Captain Monta for a few more words, and found that he couldn't find any useful information, so he said to him:
"Captain Monta, let's make a deal. You send me the coordinates of the crab cage accident, and then remember what else you have forgotten. In return, I will give you 50 dollars."

What else could Captain Monta say?I can only accept it silently.

***
At this time, Xie Daier called and said that she had come nearby, and asked when Fang Linyan would come to meet her. It happened that the matter here had come to an end, so Fang Linyan rushed over with Flander and Xingyi.

Obviously, Schedel and Farland knew each other, and with the character of Yacinthos, the god of plants, who was indifferent to the world, the atmosphere after the meeting was quite harmonious.

To Fang Linyan's surprise, Xie Daier was already following the mixed version of F4 with three men and one woman. Xie Daier did not shy away from them, and obviously trusted them. The four men looked at Xie Dai. Er's eyes are very strange, it is a kind of eyes that can die for her at any time!
This really surprised Fang Linyan. It turns out that there are really such extreme licking dogs as Gu Yunong and Shu Qi in Shuiyunjian in the world? ?
However, what shocked Fang Linyan the most was the identity of one of the F4 beside Xie Daier. He was an out-and-out superhero!Possesses a terrifying power beyond ordinary people. Specifically, this guy named Joel is a poor version of Captain America.
