I just picked up the giant

Meng Xuan thought about it carefully, and then said: "I don't seem to have done anything to make the captain forgive me."

She didn't even say a few words to the captain, and watched Du Yin's negative performance the whole time.

And if it is said that the completion of her mission depends entirely on Du Yin as a foil, that is indeed too reluctant.

So why did the captain forgive her?

Ou Yan, who had haggarded so much in one night and even had a lot of stubble, scratched his head. He couldn't figure out the problem, so he asked Meng Xuan to wait first, and then found a free time to discuss this matter secretly. Shared it with Lu Yanghe, hoping he can come up with something.

But Lu Yanghe also frowned after hearing this, he was also clueless: "I also always feel weird on the boat today. Leaving Meng Xuan's task aside, why did some gatekeepers suddenly overcome the curse, Can you monitor us during the day? And Shen Ting and Du Yin didn't show up all day, which is quite abnormal to be honest."

Ou Yan waved his hands again and again: "Don't ask me these complicated questions for the time being. Your actions are more free than ours now. Take the time to ask about the situation at Wen Shuisheng and see if you can ask anything. If not... ...Look at it again, I don't dare to take risks, after all, if I am thrown down again, your mission will be gone."

Lu Yanghe nodded, and with a stomach full of questions, he went outside in a daze, hoping to have a chance to have a few words with Wen Shuisheng.

But for a whole afternoon, let alone asking about the situation of Wen Shuisheng, he didn't even see the slightest sign of Wen Shuisheng.

In the end, he had to give up this plan, went back to the cabin, and stayed with Ou Yan and Meng Xuan again.

This was a day that was almost wasted. Except for a lot of questions, they didn't solve any problems.

But the current situation is very bad. Let’s not mention Ou Yan’s mission for now. If you throw another person down, Lu Yanghe’s mission will fail. Bai Han, who doesn’t even know the mission, is missing in the sea. Help Bai Han K, who was looking for the scales, has not returned yet, and there is no news of Wen Shuisheng, who is the most free on board.

Lu Yanghe sighed for a long time, but when he looked up, he saw Ou Yan's face suddenly became very serious, he was staring at a certain place in front of him, frowning firmly.

Ou Yan also raised a finger to his lips, and said softly—'shh'

Lu Yanghe didn't know what happened, but he also raised his vigilance, held his breath, and looked in the direction of Ou Yan's line of sight.

But there is nothing there.

There was a drop of cold sweat on the corner of his forehead.

Meng Xuan looked at the two people whose faces were not good-looking at all, and dared not say a word for fear of disturbing them.

It took a long time for Ou Yan to turn around, with a very confused expression on his face, and he opened his mouth and said to Lu Yanghe: "My hearing is much better than ordinary people, and I can hear things that you can't hear... Speaking of it, you may not Will believe, Lu Yanghe, I just heard that direction, Shen Ting was screaming in pain."

After listening to the first half of Ou Yan's words, Lu Yanghe was still not relieved, but when he heard the second half suddenly, he was also stunned, completely unable to understand the current situation.

The captain showed love for Shen Ting visible to the naked eye, and even gave all orders to follow Shen Ting's wishes last night.

And Ou Yan said that he heard Shen Ting screaming in pain... So what happened in such a short time?

Since the captain can deal such cruelty to Shen Ting, wouldn't he be more ruthless to other people on board?

Ou Yan is also basically in a daze now, his mind is in a mess, and his whole body is visibly irritable.

There is no part of the current scene that he can figure out, it is equivalent to sitting and waiting to die.With Bai Han not around, there was absolutely nothing they could do about this messy news.

The faces of the three were not good-looking, and no one spoke for a while.

Meng Xuan wrung her fingers and bowed her head in thought for a while, as if she had finally made up her mind, opened her mouth hesitantly, and said to them, "Although I don't know what happened, but my mission has been completed, it means that the captain Forgive me...I thought, I'm still his adoptive mother, maybe...maybe I can go to the captain to see the situation."

Lu Yanghe was a little surprised when he heard this, he never thought that Meng Xuan would actually want to help, and he and Ouyan looked at each other, both of them were thinking about it.

Because right now, apart from asking Meng Xuan to go out and have a look, there is nothing else to do.

But Ou Yan thought for a while, and finally sighed: "Forget it, in case something happens to you..."

Meng Xuan thought for a long time, then shook her head: "It's okay, I'm going to get something to go and check on Wen Shuisheng's situation. Since the captain has forgiven me, he won't do anything to me for a while."

Her attitude was quite decisive, Lu Yanghe and Ou Yan couldn't stop them, so they thought of a way to make some fish soup together.

When Meng Xuan was ready, Lu Yanghe sent Meng Xuan, who was carrying a pot of soup, to the door of the captain's room. He looked at Meng Xuan uneasy, but didn't know how to appease her.

Meng Xuan let out a long breath, turned her head and said to Lu Yanghe: "It's okay, you go first, I'll be back soon."

Lu Yanghe nodded, said to be careful in everything, looked at her back worriedly, and stood for a while before leaving.

Meng Xuan put her hand on the doorknob, and her heart was beating very fast. After she was fully prepared, she opened the door carefully, and when she looked up, she happened to see the captain sitting on the chair. There were actually many gatekeepers in the room. people.

There seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air.

At this moment, the gatekeeper's cold and realistic eyes all fell on Meng Xuan alone.

Meng Xuan was so nervous that her throat became dry, and she coughed lightly uncontrollably. In the overly quiet atmosphere, she startled herself.But the captain didn't let her go immediately, so she turned and closed the door, and put the pot of fish soup on the captain's table.

She said to the captain incoherently: "This is some fresh fish soup...here, I...don't know if you like it or not, it's good for your health."

The captain hummed lightly, actually picked it up and drank it, and then said: "Not bad."

His tone was very ordinary, and no emotion could be heard.

Meng Xuan stood dryly at the side, her forehead covered in cold sweat, and she didn't know what to say next.

Afraid of offending the captain, she was racking her brains to think about the next topic, but the next thing the captain said made her freeze in place.

The captain looked at Meng Xuan and asked her, "Are you here because you want to know where Du Yin and that mermaid went?"

Meng Xuan was suddenly guessed what was on her mind, and her face turned pale, but she didn't think of any lie for a moment, so she could only falter and admit it in the end.

The captain stood up and said to her, "Actually, there's nothing we can't let you see. Come with me."

As soon as he had finished speaking, the rest of the gatekeepers went out, leaving the room to the two of them.

Meng Xuan couldn't figure out what the captain was thinking at all, she felt uneasy, and her steps were a little heavy.

The captain didn't care, he directly opened the bed in the room, pulled out a piece of iron, looked down to a long staircase, and a secret room that was so hidden that only the captain and some gatekeepers knew about it.

The captain looked back at her: "Let's go."

"Oh, ok, ok."

It got darker as it went down, and the sound of footsteps and her own heartbeat were very clear. Every step down made Meng Xuan feel a little colder. She was very nervous and had thousands of guesses in her mind.

She was worried that she would accidentally anger the captain, that the captain would kill herself, and that Du Yin would harm her in turn...

But the captain seemed to have forgiven her completely, and along the way, nothing that worried Meng Xuan happened.

When the last iron door was opened, the appearance of the entire secret room was completely revealed.

There are no lights in the secret room on the lower floor, but there are some candles made of animal fat, and the whole space is still quite bright.The candles were arranged in a circle, all surrounding a large transparent glass jar, which stained the water in the jar almost red.

Du Yin's hands and feet were bound, his mouth was sealed, and he was thrown beside the jar.Seeing the captain bring Meng Xuan, she struggled and made an indistinct sound of 'uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu'.

The next moment, Meng Xuan's eyes widened, because she saw that the transparent jar Du Yin was leaning on was actually Shen Ting!

Shen Ting had tubes inserted all over his body, connected to the external vessel, but he did not completely lose consciousness, but narrowed his eyes, looking a little groggy.He seemed to have been tortured, his hands and feet were injured, and some were even oozing blood, looking very miserable.

The captain said: "There is another one that escaped, and now the gatekeepers only caught this one."

Meng Xuan thought carefully, Shen Maohong and Qiu Moshi disappeared into the deep sea along with some of the gatekeepers at six o'clock, only Wen Shuisheng probably thought of a way and chose to stay.

So the one that the captain said ran away should be Wen Shui Sheng.

Captain, why did they catch the mermaid?Especially on the basis that Shen Ting has completely... turned to the captain and the others.

Meng Xuan couldn't figure it out.

The captain asked Meng Xuan again: "Do you have anything to say to her and him?"

"No."

Meng Xuan was afraid that she would make too many mistakes by asking too many questions, and Shen Ting had already broken her face with her. As for Du Yin...he must think of a way to drag himself into the water with one word.

So it's better not to ask.

Hearing this, Du Yin moved desperately, very unwilling, and the voice from his mouth became louder and louder.

The drowsy Shen Ting also moved a lot, as if he was eager to seize this opportunity to get out of the jar, but he had no strength in his whole body, and the raised hand soon fell limply.

The captain was silent for a while, then said: "But she and he seem to have something to say to you."

Meng Xuan just shook her head: "I don't know, but I have nothing to say to them."

The captain pulled down an iron rod, and the water level in the tank gradually dropped. Shen Ting fell to the bottom of the tank and coughed violently.

He said to Meng Xuan: "Don't be nervous. It's not a big deal. You can talk to them if you want. I won't listen. But you can't stay here for too long. You can count the time yourself. I'm probably very happy." I can pick you up soon."

Meng Xuan was almost flattered. She didn't know why his attitude towards her had changed so much, and she could still let herself be alone in this important place for a while, so she could only thank the captain again and again and said, "Thank you... .”

The captain looked at her and said very calmly: "It's okay, since I decided to tell you, you will know sooner or later."

After speaking, the captain really did what he said, and left the secret room to her temporarily, and went upstairs by himself, the footsteps were so far away that he couldn't hear him at all.

As soon as the captain left, Meng Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

She silently looked at Du Yin, who was extremely emotional in front of her, but she still never expected that not long ago, Du Yin and Shen Ting could decide Bai Han's life and death from a high position, and in the blink of an eye, she had become this deputy. The appearance of human slaughter.

After confirming that there was no danger around, Meng Xuan stepped forward, carefully tore off the seal on Du Yin's mouth, exposing Du Yin's swollen lips, and then quickly moved away.

With tears in his eyes, Du Yin said in panic, "Help, help quickly...those gatekeepers, they actually want to kill us!"

She really forgot, when Bai Han jumped down before, she was so triumphant and looked down on everyone's vicious look.

Seeing her like this, Meng Xuan shook her head and wanted to sneer: "This is obviously a good thing."

After staying with Ou Yan and the others for a while, her slanderous words smacked a little of Ou Yan's cheap whiz, and Du Yinneng choked so suddenly that she rolled her eyes.

Du Yin felt pitiful now. Hearing Meng Xuan's indifferent words, his face turned pale, and he looked at her in disbelief: "How could you be like this?"

Hearing this, Meng Xuan frowned, and suddenly felt a little disgusted: "You don't treat Bai Han like this. You can treat him like that, why can't I treat you like this?"

Mentioning Bai Han, Du Yin probably felt a little guilty at last, his face collapsed, and even his voice lowered: "Why did the captain willingly bring you in and treat you so well? What did you do...why didn't you tell me?" I said?"

She couldn't figure it out, she had done so much for the captain, and the captain hated her so much that he didn't even want to hear her voice...

How could Meng Xuan let the captain bring her in.

She must have done something secretly...

Meng Xuan is not a saint. Seeing Du Yin's miserable appearance, she felt much better. She even smiled at Du Yin, and said in a strange way: "By the way, you can see it too, right?" , my mission has been completed, the captain has forgiven me... Hey, you are trapped here and cannot move, and the captain won't let you speak, so what can you do?"

When it came to what Du Yin was most concerned about at the moment, she really didn't have any composure at all, her attitude changed very quickly, and the meaning of flattery was so strong that Meng Xuan almost vomited.

"Then can you tell me, I beg you, I really didn't mean it before, I don't actually hate you..."

Meng Xuan gave her a cold look, but interrupted her mercilessly: "But I hate you very much, and I have no intention of helping you at all, so you should stay here."

After finishing speaking, she ignored Du Yin who suddenly shouted, and walked slowly in front of Shen Ting.

In fact, after recognizing Shen Ting clearly, she didn't want to say anything to Shen Ting.She just wanted to let out a sigh of relief, whether it was for Bai Han or herself, she needed to face Shen Ting directly once.

And Shen Ting's current appearance is extremely pitiful, he has no strength in his whole body, he can only lie down in the jar, and even has to use a lot of strength to lift his head.The dozens of tubes inserted don't know what they want to absorb from Shen Ting, but they all lead to the small tubes that can't be seen clearly.

Shen Ting moved her lips and let out a small sound: "Mom..."

At this time, Meng Xuan felt that Shen Ting and Du Yin were worthy of being their own mother and son, and that their faces could change faster than the sky. The previous scenes were probably still fresh in their memories, and now they could be subdued like this.

She only thought it was scary and ridiculous, and told Shen Ting: "You know how to call me mom at this moment?"

With a pale face and red eyes, Shen Ting said intermittently: "Help me..."

He used to beg Meng Xuan like this before, whether he wanted to return to China or join Wenshuisheng Company, as long as he showed this expression, no matter what, Meng Xuan would agree to everything.

By this time, Meng Xuan couldn't be moved anymore, but she needed to get some news out of Shen Ting's mouth, so she only pretended to be a hypocrite and touched, and asked him: "Then you have to first Tell me, why did the captain need you?"

She has been Shen Ting's mother for so long, so she wants to learn some knowledge and gain some insight.

Shen Ting breathed a sigh of relief, as if catching the last straw, she moved closer, almost touching the glass jar, and said to Meng Xuan: "I don't know, I don't know anything...but they want my Blood. Mom, let me out, and then it will be fine, I will escape to the sea by myself."

Meng Xuan asked again: "What happened to Wen Shuisheng?"

Shen Ting took a few breaths, seemed to have no strength at all, and said in a low voice: "The rest of the gatekeepers seem to have known that Wen... Brother Xiaosheng is a mermaid, they, they wanted to catch him... Brother Xiao Sheng’s, but Brother Xiao Sheng escaped into the sea.”

Meng Xuan confirmed that she could not get any other news from Shen Ting, so she stood up, distanced herself from him, looked at him, and said indifferently: "Actually, Shen Ting, you look really pitiful now. .”

Sensing the change in her attitude, Shen Ting was taken aback for a moment, and softly called Meng Xuan's mother again.

Meng Xuan looked cold and ignored it.

Du Yin struggled, and cried loudly: "How can you do this? Shen Ting has been raised by you for such a long time..."

"Du Yin, are you really shameless? Don't you think these words are familiar to you?" Meng Xuan's face was full of disgust, and she took another step back, unwilling to even look at them: "Shen Ting, poor man There must be something hateful. You are so hypocritical that you can give up everything for your own wishes. In fact, I should have seen it clearly. Don't pretend to be like this. At first you wanted to break this relationship. Now it is It’s just as you wish.”

Shen Ting suddenly raised her voice, and called Meng Xuan again: "Mom! I didn't... I'm just not in a good mood, why would I want to break up with you. I know I was wrong, please forgive me once, okay? I beg you……"

Meng Xuan was already planning to leave, so she turned around, leaving only Du Yin and Shen Ting's mother and son behind: "Shen Ting, do you think you can still deceive me now? After killing Bai Han, you The next one will want to kill me, Ou Yan, Lu Yanghe and even Shen Maohong, but you never thought that you would fall into this situation. Shen Ting, I don’t want to have anything to do with you from now on, I’m not on fire Add oil, and you can count on your blessings."

With tears all over Shen Ting's face, she patted the glass jar desperately with her hands: "Don't go, Mom, I really know I was wrong. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

How could he have known that the captain and those gatekeepers would turn their faces so quickly, and they locked him up suddenly when he obviously didn't do anything.

He screamed in pain when the tubes were inserted, but Wen Shuisheng didn't help him at that time, and Meng Xuan is also very heartless now.

The only one standing beside him now is Du Yin who is holding him back in everything.

Of course he knew he was wrong, he wished he could go back to the night when he had a falling out with Meng Xuan...

But without this opportunity, Meng Xuan is unwilling to look at him now.

Shen Ting cried without giving up: "Mom, don't go, save me... I really know I was wrong."

But Meng Xuan stepped on the stairs resolutely, no matter how much Shen Ting cried and Du Yin screamed behind her, she never looked back.

When going out, Meng Xuan happened to meet the captain who came back to pick her up. She didn't bother her too much. After saying goodbye to the captain politely, she went back to the cabin on the second floor and talked to Ou Yan and Lu Yanghe. Write down what you know.

Ou Yan said: "What is this, I am really puzzled."

The night before, she hugged and held Shen Ting high, so she can be locked up and tortured by Shen Ting this night.

Lu Yanghe was also flustered for a while: "It's going to be early morning soon...but we don't know anything yet."

Ou Yan frowned and said: "Wait a little longer, see if you can wait until the boss comes back... If it doesn't work, I can smash the pot and sink the ship, and we will die together."

Lu Yanghe nodded: "That's right, I have to take at least two ghost sharks with me."

Hearing this, Meng Xuan was worried and amused at the same time.

The early morning came very slowly this time, and it was very frightening. The night wind came straight in, finding an opportunity to penetrate into the person's body from every gap.

It started to rain again outside, splashing into the sea, and falling on the scaly skin of the ghost shark, the sound made people's teeth chill.

The gatekeeper crawled out from the bottom of the sea again with a cold aura.

But the difference this time is that the gatekeeper also brought Wen Shuisheng, Qiu Moshi and Shen Maohong who had lost consciousness and were injured.

Three men were thrown on the deck with huge, scarred fish tails on their lower bodies.

Meng Xuan glanced at it from a distance, and her face turned pale in an instant.No matter how you say it, Shen Maohong is still in his 50s. This is a great crime, and he doesn't know what his current situation is.

Ou Yan also frowned.

What is the gatekeeper doing to catch the mermaid... Now that they have all been caught, what about the boss?

The door was closed, blocking all their sight.

The gatekeeper on board did not enter the door immediately, but said something to the captain outside, then carried Wen Shuisheng and the others to another place, and the rest of the gatekeepers then entered the door and continued to guard the people on board.

As usual, the gatekeeper had to watch over different people, and Ou Yan was assigned to the deck, so he could only be separated from Lu Yanghe and Meng Xuan temporarily, each worried about their own.

Lu Yanghe stared at the back of Ou Yan leaving, and sighed rather melancholy.

He was worried about Ou Yan and himself.

As long as one more person is thrown overboard, his mission has failed.

And there are still six hours before the onset of Kisame's curse, and there is still a whole day before reaching the destination.

-

Ou Yan waved a big rag absently, walking up and down the deck decently.

The sound of footsteps, rain, and the collision of ghosts and sharks under the boat made him a little annoyed.But I can't vent my emotions, and I am very aggrieved.

The gatekeeper behind him still did not relax at all, following him every step of the way, not giving Ou Yan any chance to make any small moves.

But suddenly, a hand with sharp nails and scales covered the gatekeeper's eyes from behind. The gatekeeper received a severe blow from the back of the neck, and then fell to the ground, unconscious.

The sound of the gatekeeper's body collapsing caused Ouyan to turn around in surprise, and raised the rag in his hand to prepare for the fight.

But when he saw clearly what was happening in front of him, he froze again.

The one who attacked the gatekeeper was actually a ghost shark.This ghost shark has no human skin, and still has the strange appearance of a man and a beast, with a fish tail on its lower body.The only special thing is probably that the color of this ghost shark is a little lighter than the rest, and it belongs to the category of white skin.If the face insists on being delicate and beautiful, it can actually be said, because the eyes of this ghost shark are quite big, and it looks more watery than other ghost sharks.

But other than that, it's all been ghost sharks that really couldn't be more real.

Ou Yan took a step back, and said in a daze, "I don't understand, I really don't understand every day."

what is this?Is the ghost and shark fighting among themselves?

They were in a blind spot, the high rails blocked the sight of the other gatekeepers below the sea, and the other gatekeepers could not see them for the time being.

This is probably the perfect opportunity that this clever ghost shark has been waiting for.

The white-skinned ghost shark also booed Ou Yan, signaling him to be quiet, then peeled off the human skin on the gatekeeper, put it on himself, and gave it to the skinned ghost again. A few slaps on the back of the shark's neck made him dizzy even more completely.

This ghost shark doesn't know why it can't speak yet, but it is eager to take Ou Yan somewhere.When his hand was about to touch Ou Yan's arm, Ou Yan reflexively gave the ghost shark a backhand, and made a loud and crisp sound.

Ou Yan whirled the rag in his hand, very vigilant: "Don't touch your hands, I warn you, you belong to the same kind of cruelty, if I report you, you will have no good fruit. You Move me, and I'll call you the same kind."

These days are confusing and confusing, who would believe that the person he asked for help was actually someone from the enemy.

The white-skinned ghost shark touched the place where Ou Yan slapped him just now, and stared at Ou Yan in disbelief, looking very aggrieved, and made a small sound from his mouth.

After sizing up for a while, Ou Yan started to think, and said half-threateningly and half-persuading: "I understand your eyes, and I feel that you are not an unreasonable person, Shark, how about this, the current situation is actually quite clear. , that is, I have your handle in my hand, but I can't run around without you. Think about it and see if we can cooperate?"

The white-skinned Kisame nodded decisively without hesitation, as if agreeing with the idea very much.

He looked at Ou Yan, pointed to the cabin on the second floor, and motioned for Ou Yan to go in first, and without staying for a while, he turned over and jumped up to the captain's room on the third floor.

How does Ouyan see it, how does he feel that the body skills and movements of this white-skinned ghost shark are familiar.

He scratched his head and suddenly let out a groan.

Isn't that Bai Han's favorite move to turn over other people's houses?
