Chapter 14: The Haze of Life and Death

If there is a sleeping corpse lying next to your bed, how long will it take you to find it?

The answer given by the Via Pirates was 15 hours, until the black night fell behind the dark clouds and haze the next day, and the gloomy sea breeze poured into the cabin and made a “woo woo” sound.

The noisy sound in the cabin suddenly became quiet, the pirates circled the three beds in a crowded circle, and Yarlin and Fick also stood in the crowd.

“what happened?”

Via walked in from outside with a sword, and behind him was followed by the ship doctor with the medicine box, the first mate and others who were also puzzled.

“Jack and the others have been lying in bed motionless for a day. They can’t wake up no matter how they call, and they seem to have no breath.” The pirate who was the first spotted trembled.

The pirates dispersed. Via stepped in and stood by Jack’s bed. The other two pirates had also been moved together long ago. The three were lying side by side in a row, neat and tidy, and involuntarily let the surrounding pirates back. Goose bumps surfaced.

The looks are different and the heights are different, but when the three of them are placed in a row, the visual impact gives people a trembling feeling as if they are carved out of a mold.

“The body is cold and there is no body temperature.”

The ship doctor stepped forward, touched Jack’s forehead with the back of his hand, his complexion changed slightly, and then he opened the opponent’s eyelids with two fingers, revealing white and white eyes.

“die?”

The ship doctor’s fingers retracted like an electric shock, and his eyes were horrified as if he had seen a ghost, so that the words he blurted out were swallowed abruptly.

“What’s the matter?” Via frowned.

“There seems to be something moving in his eyes!” The ship doctor took a deep breath, and put his fingers on Jack’s eyelids again, but this time the movement was not as random as the first time, but opened like a lift. A thin layer of eyelids on the other side.

A white eyeball!

“Huh?” The ship doctor was stunned. He rubbed his eyes, widened his eyes in disbelief, and muttered: “I was dazzled just now?”

“What the hell is going on?” First mate Lowe stood behind Via with his arms folded, his eyes fixed on the three people on the bed, his heart was a bad premonition, and his tone was irritable.

“There is no body temperature, no breathing, no pulse, no eye movement, it should be dead.” The ship doctor checked the other two people one after another, and came to the same conclusion as expected.

The only thing that puzzled him was that the corpse, which had been dead for a long time, showed no signs of stiffness or corpse spots, but rather a living specimen that had been immersed in formalin water for a long time.

The pirates were in an uproar, and the palm of Captain Via’s sword was suddenly clenched, like a viper with a snake-like expression, and the eyes of the first officer Lowe suddenly shrank, staring suspiciously. Via’s back.

The two people had their own ghosts in their hearts, and under the suspicion, they all locked the suspicion on each other.

Yarlin blended into the crowd silently, his thin mouth was slightly pursed, and then his brows were slightly frowned, and he noticed that some flickering eyes around him were also staring at him.

Suspected? This is not normal!

Yarlin didn’t change his face, but his thoughts were running frantically, trying to analyze which part of the fault was wrong, “The first officer, the captain, they are suspicious of each other, so it can’t be them. Then these ordinary pirates are even more troublesome. It doesn’t make sense…No, it’s not right, it’s not this thing, this thing has just begun to be brewing, it is impossible for anyone to suspect me, so the previous link has gone wrong, then, it can only be… .”

“William!”

The tip of his tongue was pressed against his upper lip, and he habitually squinted his eyes to cover the coldness in his eyes. He already had a care in his heart.

“How did you die?” Lowe crossed Via and walked to the bed, squatting halfway to Via, which allowed him to ensure that he was always alert to the captain’s movements when examining the body.

He panted heavily, turning over the bodies of the three people rudely, groping and checking on the bodies with his thick palms, and then his face became more and more ugly.

“No wound? How could there be no wound?”

Lowe’s repeated inspections did not find any wounds that could be fatal, which made him feel cold. He suddenly stood up and gritted his teeth to the ship doctor and said: “There is no wound, the ship doctor, you tell me how they died?”

The boat doctor’s eyelids jumped, he saw all of Rowe’s movements just now, and he was also confused and panicked in his heart. He hesitated and said: “I, I don’t know how they died.”

“There is no wound?” Vya was shocked and interrupted to question the ship doctor.

Lowe sneered in his heart. He was already convinced that Via was acting, and that someone could die inexplicably on this ship. Who else could do it besides Via.

Unlike Lowe, Yallin did open his eyes suddenly, staring at Via’s expression, with a thoughtful expression on her face: “Of course, Via is not acting, then, the distance he is close is obvious. He has already seen Luo Wei’s actions just now. There is no reason why he can’t see that there are no wounds on the corpse. He is only now showing an expression of error and shock. Isn’t this reaction dull?”

Arlin was thinking. Some of the fragments and details that he had overlooked seemed to be overlapping slides passing through his mind. Suddenly, the shock in his eyes flashed away, and a weird guess emerged in his heart.

“Captain Via’s secret, is it this? This is really… deceiving everyone!” Yarlin felt awe-inspiring, of course, he is still guessing, and the specific truth needs to be confirmed in more details.

Thinking like this, Yallin’s attention was more focused on the changes in Captain Via’s expression, and at the same time, he gave instructions in accordance with the original plan from the bottom of his heart.

“Moved!”

The pirate exclaimed.

Luo Wei immediately turned his head, his mouth opened in the shape of “Nest”, he saw that Jack, who had been judged dead, was slowly clenching the five fingers spread out on his right hand at an extremely slow speed.

Not only Jack, but the same two other corpses were also “deceiving corpses”. One had a weird grin at the corners of the mouth and lips, revealing sullen teeth, and a low whine in the throat; the other had its mouth closed with teeth in it. The rubbing of “crunches” makes the scalp numb.

Lowe looked at the pirates who had changed their colors. His face turned green. He turned his neck stiffly, and a weird scene from behind suddenly came into view, and he quickly retreated backwards.

All this is a long story. In fact, within two or three seconds, the corpse cheating was completed, and the climax, the coherent track at the end, quickly returned to calm.

The three corpses lay flat and motionless, surrounded by pirates with pale faces.

I am most afraid that the air suddenly becomes quiet! ! !

Yarlin, who directed this short play, did not leave Via’s gaze from beginning to end. He stared at the gloomy and uncertain face, and touched his left eye with his right finger unconsciously.

“Didn’t you say that they are dead?”

After a full minute, Lowe came back to his senses, grabbed the ship doctor’s collar, and almost lifted the other person up almost halfway, with a trembling sound, “Tell me, why do you still move?”

“I…” The ship doctor was shocked, but his eyes seemed to be bulging out. He should feel that the worldview has been subverted. Although he is only a low-rank ship doctor, the living person is still dead, and he is already dead. Can’t tell the difference.

His voice was contaminated with crying.

“That’s enough, people don’t know whether they live or die, so they find a place in the storage room and move over, and then observe and observe.” Compared with the horror of the other pirates, Via’s expression was enough to compliment the sentence, “The ship doctor, they just Leave it to you to take care of it, and there will be no more problems.”

Lowe let go of the ship doctor with a “hum”. The ship doctor was crying and his teeth were trembling. However, meeting Via’s cold eyes, he had to take the job.
