Pirates: Ghosts Walking in the Dark

"What?!" Maren grabbed the neck of the pirate who reported the news in anger, with a gloomy look on his face.

"Why did the navy suddenly appear? How did you conduct investigation?"

The pirate trembled and said with difficulty: "Captain, it's not our fault... We, those navy... just happened to pass by after completing their mission, and they did not come to encircle and suppress us."

Mullen threw the pirates away fiercely, his face full of anger. His only ship was sunk by the navy.

"Damn the navy!" He cursed angrily, and then waved his hand: "Ask everyone to gather immediately. We will leave in a small boat. We will be in trouble when the navy arrives."

When the pirates who were still burning, killing and looting in the village heard that the navy was coming, they all screamed and wanted to fight the navy, but Malen suppressed them with a gloomy expression.

They quickly asked a villager where the village's fishing boats were, and then they all fled the island in small boats.

Green and House disappeared into the deep sea.

Navy soldiers in white military uniforms poured into the village like a wave, and what they saw was a mourning scene.

There were burning houses everywhere, large amounts of blood, and the corpses of villagers lay strewn across the streets.

Faint wailing sounds were heard from time to time in some houses.

The screams and calls for help echoed through the night sky, and the expressions of all the navy changed. They looked for the pirates with angry faces, and separated a team of people to start treating the injured villagers.

A dignified naval officer wearing the cloak of justice walked into the village, with anger in his eyes.

"Your Excellency Major, the pirate has escaped from the other direction of the island. Do you want to pursue him?"

Sweet frowned. He was the one who happened to discover this group of pirates when they returned from a mission. He then took action decisively. Unfortunately, the village was still destroyed.

"There's no need to chase them. Those pirates are very cunning. Our top priority now is to treat the injured villagers immediately."

"Yes."

Soon, except for the necessary guards, everyone else in the navy participated in the intense rescue.

It wasn't until daylight that the navy continued on their way.

The village fell into unrest and sadness. The pirates killed many people last night, leaving indelible scars on the village.

In the gloom and gloom, no one noticed that two insignificant people were missing.

……

When Green opened his eyes again, he was not surprised at all. He just looked at his eyes calmly.

This is a clean white room, with rows of hospital beds covered with crisp white sheets on both sides.

Severe pain spread from all parts of his body, and Green felt like he was like a piece of porcelain that would break if he wasn't careful.

"Are you still alive?"

The slight ripples in his calm eyes showed that his heart was not as calm as he looked at the moment.

"I hope House is alive too... If you die, I will avenge you!"

After looking around and seeing no House, Green knew that he must have been separated from House. He didn't know if his only good friend was as lucky as himself and could survive successfully.

"Tread~step~"

There was a sound of footsteps, and a girl wearing a nurse's uniform walked in carrying a plate.

She saw Green who had woken up at a glance, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Yeah, you're awake!"

After walking a few steps, the nurse placed the plate with medicine on the table. She carefully checked the bandages on Green's body to see if there was any bleeding, and then looked at his eyes.

Then he smiled and said: "Well, you are recovering well. You have finally saved your life."

"However, you still have to treat yourself here for a while, otherwise it may affect your future life."

Green nodded calmly, even though just this movement hurt and made him break into a cold sweat.

"Hello, I would like to ask, is there anyone who was rescued with me?"

The nurse was stunned, and then thought for a moment and said: "It seems not, one came up just after Major Sweet said it. Did you have any companions who also fell into the water? Oh, this is not good, they didn't find your companions , he is very likely..."

At this point, she stopped quickly and did not continue with any bad guesses.

Green's eyes swayed and he closed his eyes silently: "Thank you for saving your life. I believe that my companion will not die."

The nurse quietly changed Green's medicine, looked at him worriedly, and then left.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps sounded again.

"Crack~~"

The door opened, and the fresh sea breeze blew in through the open door. A tall figure wearing a righteous cloak, a tall figure with a resolute face appeared in front of Green.

Green's expression changed, and he finally knew where he was now.

The person who appeared in front of Green was Major Sweet, a middle-aged navy man.

"Kid, you're lucky to be able to survive such a heavy attack." Sweet's face was serious, but there was a hint of appreciation in his tone.

"Well, you can call me Major Sweet. This is the 13th Naval Division located in the West Sea."

Green couldn't move. He could only nod slightly to show respect, and said gratefully: "Thank you Major Sweet for your life-saving grace. My name is Green. I am an orphan who was chased by pirates and fell into the water."

Sweet's expression did not change at all. He had obviously guessed Green's identity from where he rescued him, so he was not surprised.

"Well, we have verified with the villagers on the island. Your name is Green, and you are indeed an orphan. There should be a boy named House with you, but unfortunately, we could not find him."

"I know, I heard the nurse say that, but I still have to thank the Major."

After thinking for a while, Green's eyes showed a firm look: "Major Swier, can I join the navy?"

"Oh? What's your reason for joining the Navy?" Sweet's eyes narrowed upon hearing this.

"Justice!" Green replied without thinking.

Sweet frowned, obviously not satisfied with Green's answer.

"I have seen many people who became marines just by shouting slogans of justice. They often fall into confusion. Justice is not just about shouting."

Green's expression did not change at all. He still looked at Major West solemnly and said calmly: "Of course I know. House and I both suffered from the pirate invasion that night. I have seen evil, and now I have also seen good. pass."

"Next, I will use my own method to practice the justice in my heart!"

"Even if you can't join..."

He did not continue what he said next, but the meaning was already very obvious. Even if he was not accepted by the navy, he would use his own method to practice justice.

Sweet stepped closer, looked down at Green on the hospital bed, and said seriously: "What method do you want to use to practice your justice?"

Green glanced at him, and then turned his gaze to the sky outside the window opposite, where a white seagull flew across.

"Eradicate everything I consider 'evil'!"
