"Huh?
What mermaid?
So you're talking about a mermaid story on the other side of the Aegean Sea?
”Paul was stunned by Jobron's sudden reaction, he had never heard of the mermaid legend aboard the Cookropes.Always cautious and reticent, Paul maintained a solitary style, and if he had been more enthusiastic, the first mate position would have been in his pocket.This was one of Paul's character shortcomings, but it was also the reason why he was not qualified for a higher position."
The clues are connected, let me guess.Did the humanoid creature turn into a very beautiful woman?
”Jobuterrand speculated."
How do you know?"
Paul asked, surprised."
Hey.History is always strikingly similar. ”Jobuterron sighed and began to tell Paul the story of the mermaid he had heard from the first mate.The more Paul listened, the more similar she felt, the only difference being that the Skeleton Rose Pirates later released her.This also explains why members of the Skull Rose Pirates must undergo a reformation before leaving.Because that group of adult men have been influenced by that stunning beauty, and committed things that should not be done.A group of sinners are naturally not qualified to continue to protect this seal, and at the same time, they do not have the ability to continue to protect this seal, so the Skeleton Rose Cluster naturally has no reason to continue to exist.That woman became the trigger for the dissolution of the Skull Roses.After Jobnutran told Paul about what happened to the Cookropes, he suddenly remembered a suspicious point and asked Paul, "Did that woman give birth to a child?"
”Paul thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't have the impression of that.I was a teenager when it happened, and I don't know why I wasn't seduced by the charm of that woman.All I know is that shortly after that absurdity, all the participants died.Everyone's death is different, but they all die bizarrely, as if they were cursed. ”Tubtrand suddenly remembered the death of the captain and the captain of the security, both of whom were somewhat bizarre, and perhaps related to the punishment of the Skeleton Rose Pirates, and then asked Paul, "Can you tell me about the other three punishments?"
”"To change the past is to make the offender carry a 60-kilogram cross and walk over the red-hot charcoal, and he will walk 33 meters, and if he can't finish walking, he will be burned alive by the flames.Kneeling and begging for mercy is to put a tough rope around the neck of the offender indoors, and tie another section to the beam, so that the offender kneels on the ground, kneeling for a day and a night, and the offender often dies of suffocation.The guilty of thorn petition is to make the offender wear a plate armor made of thorns and tie it to a pillar, and expose it to the scorching sun for three days, the barbs of the thorns will cause the offender to lose a lot of blood, and after exposure to the sun, he will soon enter a state of dehydration and die. ”The other three cruel punishments Paul recounted, all of which sounded gruesome, were quick to conjure up images of the death of the captain and the captain of the security."
Change your heart and kneel and beg for mercy."
It turns out that in Jobron's reasoning, the two only suffered revenge from the deep diver, but now it seems that the situation has become more complicated."
Are there any other people on the ship from Skull Rose?"
Jobuterron asked."
It is said that there are no members of the crew, but the passengers are not sure.A huge passenger ship, hundreds of passengers, and it is possible to have passengers who have retired from the Skull Rose Regiment. ”Although Paul did not quite understand Jobrentrand's doubts, he still answered Jobputrean's question honestly."
If you were given the list of passengers, would you be able to recognize the name associated with the Skull Rose?"
Jobuterron asked with a frown.Paul nodded hesitantly, "But I think it's very likely that the pseudonym is the same as mine, because none of us want to talk about the past."
It's worth a try, though. ”So Jobuterrand took out the notebook from the captain's room from his small purse, and according to his judgment, he thought it was a nautical diary, and theoretically a standard nautical diary should have recorded the list of passengers and relevant travel information.Jobuterron flipped through a few pages, and sure enough, the captain had written down a lot of things related to the voyage in this thick notebook.The entire nautical diary is about 500 pages long, and it records all sorts of trivial matters from the time the captain became a sailor aboard the Kukropes."
March 16, 1845, sunny.Today is the first day of being a sailor, and I want to do my best!
I finally found a decent job, but now it's too difficult to find a job that can make ends meet!
However, life on the boat does not seem to be as thrilling as imagined, it is all boring fishing life.March 17, 1845, cloudy.The second time I went out to sea with the boat today, the waves on the sea level were terrifying.I stood on the deck and almost fell off the ship!
I promise God, that wave is five stories high!
However, I heard from the old captain that such bad weather is rare, and maybe it will be better tomorrow.March 18, 1845, rainy day.Rain!
Rain!
Rain!
It had been raining all day, and the torrential rain hit my face like a pebble!
It's been a hard time like this, and for the sake of Golden Mark's face, I swear I'll keep it up!
1845, March 19, cloudy.Thanks to the Light, the rain has finally stopped today!
We caught a lot of fish that we could afford to sell in today's good weather!
I also caught a huge octopus today!
The taste after slicing is really delicious!
Thank you for the gift of the ocean!
”The first two or three hundred pages are like this, but it can be seen from the text that the captain is growing day by day.He chronicled his sailing career and interesting facts about the ship.Beneath the seemingly calm text lies a lot of wonderful stories, such as the life of a fisherman who fought narwhals and fished for five-meter-long sawtooth sharks.If such material falls into the hands of a family, it will definitely make an excellent literary work.Jobuterrand quickly flipped through and found the relevant record of his most recent voyage - page 369."
On July 14, 1881, the sunny day turned to rain.Today's voyage from Cooks Harbor to Boston, I had a sense of foreboding that reminded me of that night.My instincts tell me that this trip can be dangerous, but this is a task arranged from above, and I can't shirk it.Damn, that guy at Stewart actually told me he saw the woman come back.Why do you have to mention her at this time?
This made me even more alarmed.I hope there will be no accidents on this trip, and the weather on the sea surface is quite normal.After this trip, I will retire.Worry all day long, and sooner or later you will drive yourself crazy.When I retire, I will definitely buy a house in California and go to the beach every day to see all kinds of beautiful women!
”This was the last page written by the captain, and the list of passengers and some of the voyage data were transcribed on this page.It is not difficult to see that the captain's hunch is correct, but it is a pity that he has no chance to enjoy his old age.Jobuterron noticed Stewart's name, flipped a few pages and learned that Stuart was the name of the security captain, so he handed Paul the journal.Paul looked carefully at the names on the passenger list, and finally shook his head at Joberland, "There is not a name I am familiar with, and besides, I don't think that the people of Skull Rose will judge two innocent people." ”When Jobtron heard this, he had a flash of inspiration, "What did you just say?"
The last sentence?
”"Huh?
I don't think the people of Skull Rose will judge two innocent people, what's wrong?
”Paul didn't quite understand what was wrong with this, but Jobuterrand snatched the captain's journal and began to look through the previous contents.As he flipped through it, he said to himself, "Not guilty, how can it be innocence, there must be a clue here." ”Later, in the middle of the notebook, Jobbuterrand noticed that the handwriting on one of the pages looked a little different from the previous handwriting, and even had a lot of blood glued between the lines, but these blood stains had turned dark and brown with age.The black-brown bloodstains, like droplets of ink splashing on paper that naturally fall from the tip of a pen, looked more natural, and might have been ignored if it weren't for Giobuterland's relevant investigative experience.The words on it were written in a twisted and twisted manner, as if they had been written in a state of extreme panic and could not help but tremble with their hands.The dates and details on it have been blurred, like essays written in bad weather, but there seem to be traces of deliberate graffiti."
The old captain still clamored that he couldn't go to sea today, but he just wouldn't tell us why.It felt like his expression was sickly today, and he had behaved very strangely since he had come into contact with a weirdo sent by a charity that called himself EOD the other day.I still vividly remember that the eod messenger was a patient with Innsmouth syndrome and a disgusting appearance.The old captain hadn't been out of the cabin for six days since that day.As the first mate, I felt like it was time for me to do something about the ship, so I decided that I was going to go in and have a look today!
”Jobbuterrand felt a bad feeling about this sudden appearance of the EOD organization, and between the lines, Howbuterrand couldn't figure out why a charitable organization would touch a fishing boat.Jobbutron's instincts told him that there must be an untold conspiracy behind this charitable organization.Thinking of this, Jobron continued to look down at what the captain had written, and he felt that some of the secrets might be discerned between the lines that followed."
It was late at night, and the whole ship was already asleep, and I successfully unlocked the captain's door with a metal pin, but I couldn't believe my eyes when I entered.I still think it was all false.I swear to God, that's the most gold I've ever seen.The gold was piled up in a whole wooden box, and in the light of the kerosene lamp, it almost blinded my cigarette.On the open lid of the wooden box was a strangely shaped statue, which seemed to be holding something in its hands.No matter which angle I look at this wooden statue, I feel like it's staring at me.It's a creepy feeling when I think about it, knowing that it's just a statue, but it feels like the statue has a life of its own.I finally understood why the old captain was not in a hurry to go fishing, with so much gold, why fish?
The old captain stood in front of the wooden box in a thin coat, cut his index finger with a knife, and dripped the blood dripping from his index finger onto the statue.Even though his face had turned gray and there was no blood at all, he was still doing it.I remember very well that although he looked dying, his eyes were shining, greedy light.There was a sickly flush on the sides of his face, and he muttered to himself, I want more, I want more.The blood dripping from his index finger was absorbed by the strange statue, and pieces of gold appeared out of thin air in the air, so much that they could not fit in the wooden box.There seemed to be a dark blue light on the statue, and I was discovered!

So I ran away, and the old captain took the knife by his side and chased after me, muttering to himself like madness, I will kill you, and use your life to complete the sacrifice.In desperation, I had to pick up the statue and fight back.I didn't expect that...Hey, let all the secrets sink to the bottom of the water.This little stone should be regarded as the last memorial. ”The page ends abruptly, but Jobron has already understood the captain's sin.Even if it sounded like a kind of self-preservation, the old captain should have died at his hands.Joke Trand skimmed the ensuing content, and he was not interested in how the captain explained the accident, but more interested in the whereabouts of the gold and statues.The problem is that in the following content, neither of these objects is mentioned, but some miscellaneous work after the succession of the captain is scribbled, and the captain must have thrown the old captain's body, gold, and statue into the sea, as she herself said.Tubtrand was not particularly pleased with this result, and there was no more information about EOD or the statue in this nautical diary, but Tubtrand had already understood from these words that the captain was indeed a guilty man.The puzzle pieces in the temple of thought are getting more and more refined, but there seem to be a few key clues missing.Behind the deaths of the two key crew members seemed to hide a vast net that shrouded the Cookropes as it sailed in the sea.Is the murderer a human or a monster on the mysterious side?
Is the woman who escaped from the Skull Rose Pirates the same woman who met the Cookropes?
Is the little security guard the child born by the woman back then?
Or is it an orphan taken in privately by the captain?
Is the pin used to mark the route on the world map a kind of murder teaser?
Will Aldrich be the next victim?
At this point, Jobron had plenty of clues to investigate the past, but time was ticking by, and continuing to dwell on the story of the past may be wasting the time of the next victim.Jobron decided to make a bloody gamble with the Grim Reaper and with the murderer, and the stakes would be the lives of the people on board.One wrong step may result in the loss of life, and the first step that Jobram needs to do now is how to accurately predict the other party's next move and plan a series of measures.This is a game with no regrets, and only the winner is eligible to go ashore.
