After that, everything seemed like nothing happened, no rebellion, no killing, and the ship sailed normally. The only difference is that the captain has changed.
If this continues, that's not bad. Richard thought so.
But in the afternoon, there were waves again.
"Buzz!"
The sailing "Nalu Rongguang Fisherman" shook violently, and many guests in the cabin were thrown to the ground. They ran out of the cabin covering their red and swollen heads and arms, wondering what was going on.
It didn't take long to figure it out.
It was Jack, the newly appointed captain, who suddenly ordered the ship to be stopped at sea.
The reason was that there was not enough food on the ship, so they stopped in an area rich in marine fish, fished for two days, and filled up the warehouse before setting sail.
This reason is simply ridiculous. Almost everyone on the ship knows that the "Naru Rongguang Fisherman" has just docked at The Hague Port for supplies. The food on the ship is enough to feed everyone on the ship for more than half a month.
Despite this, no one dared to question it directly and just complained in private.
So, the "Naru Rongguang Fisherman" stopped.
After receiving this information, Richard thought thoughtfully and murmured: "Two days?" His eyes narrowed little by little.
If all the strange things that happened on the ship were just speculation before - guessing that it was the fortune-telling woman who did it, now it is certain.
Two days is exactly the time that the divination woman emphasized repeatedly in the hotel in The Hague. Obviously, something special will happen in two days, which will allow the divination woman to achieve a certain purpose.
Therefore, the divination woman tried her best to ask him to leave the port in two days, but he did not listen and boarded the "Nalu Rongguang Fisherman" and left early. Now, it seems that the divination woman used some means to control Sailor Jack and stopped the ship, trying to regain two days.
Was some kind of spiritual magic used
Richard guessed.
Probably.
However, considering that Jack did not control the "Nalu Rongguang Fisherman" by himself, but had the support of many sailors somewhat unbelievably, it is possible that mental spells were used on many people. In other words, in addition to Jack being mind-controlled, there were at least other people among the sailors who were controlled, and then fanned the flames and added fuel to the flames. Only through the resentment generated under Captain Morgan's high-pressure rule did the rebellion become so successful.
So why did the divination woman do these things and delay them for two days
If he said it was for something on him, he wouldn't believe it.
After all, in the previous hotel, under the dual concealment of the invisibility spell and the cloak of shadow, he acted like an ordinary person. Even if he catches the divination woman's "pet rat", he is just an ordinary person who is difficult to deal with. There is not enough value, and there is not enough reason for the divination woman to spend so much energy on him.
Therefore, a reasonable explanation would be that the divination woman wanted more than he expected. For example, this ship, or something on this ship that he didn't know - he was just incidentally, involved in this incident by coincidence.
It is even possible that the divination woman did not do this alone, but had companions to help her. After all, no matter how you look at it, the divination woman is not powerful enough to remotely control several people.
So in the final analysis, what is the truth of the matter
Richard was really a little curious, and was going to follow his previous plan, not to expose his own strength, and just watch the show as an ordinary passerby.
So, time passed quickly...
…
Half a day, a day, a day and a half...
Just when Richard thought that two days were approaching and the answer was about to be revealed, the situation on the ship changed unexpectedly - a mutiny occurred again.
The rebellion started in the lower cabin, and the original initiators were the passengers who were kicked off from the upper cabin.
When the first rebellion occurred, Jack locked up Captain Morgan, the first mate, the second mate, the third mate and other die-hard sailors who supported Captain Morgan in the upper cabin. The reason why it is an upper cabin instead of a lower cabin is mainly to prevent someone from breaking free from the restraints and destroying the bottom of the ship with the idea of perish together. Even if it can be remedied by then, it will take a lot of effort.
As a result, the upper cabins were naturally not enough, and some passengers who had paid a lot of money to stay in the upper cabins were unceremoniously driven to the lower cabins.
After being driven to the bottom cabin, these people all complained. After some discussion, they couldn't help but collude and decided to do something big to teach the new captain a lesson - in Richard's opinion, this was really a bit stupid.
However, these people were not hopelessly stupid. They were somewhat self-aware, and they quickly realized that their unarmed rebellion was impossible—they had neither the ability nor the courage. After another discussion, they decided to fight against the rebellious sailors and let these sailors change their minds and take the lead.
If it succeeds, great. If it doesn't, just pretend that nothing happened. Having made up their mind, these people split up to look for the sailor to talk to him.
The result is... things are going much smoother than anyone imagined. As soon as these people contacted the sailors, they discovered that although most of the sailors had complaints about Captain Morgan, they were still loyal to Captain Morgan in their hearts.
The reason for the rebellion, in the sailor's own words, is: I don't know why, but suddenly the people around him were in chaos. When they were stimulated by Jack's words, their heads became hot, and they couldn't help but stand behind Jack. By the time you calm down, it's too late to regret it.
Now as soon as he heard that Captain Morgan was to be rescued to give them a chance to remedy the situation, he happily joined.
So a day and a half after the ship stopped, at noon on the fifth day of the voyage, the second premeditated rebellion broke out.
After the rebellion broke out, there was not much resistance at all. The situation turned out to be one-sided. Most of the people who supported Jack switched sides in an instant, and Jack was quickly controlled. The tied up Captain Morgan, the first mate, the second mate, the third mate and others were released, and the dominance of the "Nalu Rongguang Fisherman" returned to the hands of Captain Morgan again.
…
on deck.
Captain Morgan stood, and behind him were the first mate, second mate, third mate, die-hard sailors who firmly supported him, and many redeemed sailors who "abandoned the dark and turned to the light" and "returned from the lost path."
After more than a day in captivity, Captain Morgan looked a little tired, but his eyes were extremely sharp, staring at Jack who was tied up with hemp rope like a rice dumpling in front of him.
"Jack!" Captain Morgan spoke out, sternly, "I don't know if you remember, but if I hadn't taken pity on you and brought you on this ship, you would have starved to death like a beggar in Port Sam. And you Are you using betrayal to repay me?"
"Hey, Captain Morgan!" Jack, who was tied up, smiled strangely, as if he had completely changed. "You don't understand, you don't understand! I'm saving you! Yes, I'm saving you! I By betraying you, I am saving you! Otherwise, I would have killed you long ago, do you understand?"
"Are you saving me? Huh, I don't need your saving!" Captain Morgan said coldly, "I don't need anyone to save me either. I control my own life!"
"You don't understand, you really don't understand!" Jack shouted, "You don't understand anything! I heard God's voice, I heard God's instructions, God can't make mistakes, you don't listen to me Yes, you will only enter hell!"
"It seems that you are really crazy."
"I'm not crazy, I'm sane..."
"Okay!" Captain Morgan interrupted Jack and turned to look aside.
First mate Williams looked at him and asked: "Captain, what do you think we should do with him? Kill him or..."
"No need to kill him yet." Captain Morgan said coldly, "I want to see if he is really crazy or fake. If he is really crazy, when the madness passes, I will ask him how his head grew. If he is fake madness... hum, I will let him know that there are things more terrifying than death in the world."
"Well… "
"Okay, Williams, you take a few people, gag him, throw him into the cabin, and starve him for two days first!"
"Yes." The first mate quickly led the way, dragging Jack away.
Jack struggled and shouted, shouting to Captain Morgan, the sailors on the deck, and the many onlookers: "You will regret it! You will really regret it! If you don't listen to me and are unwilling to let me save you, then you Death is about to come, and the soul will be tortured in the flames of hell! Woo hoo... "
At the end of the story, First Officer Williams stuffed a piece of rag into Jack's mouth so hard that the corners of his mouth almost burst open, making him completely unable to spit it out. Then he was dragged into the cabin.
The entire deck fell silent.
"call-"
Captain Morgan exhaled at this time and looked at everyone, at the sailors who had betrayed him and supported him, and at the passengers he had always ignored.
"A lot has happened recently, and I don't want to say more about it. I am a captain, and my only purpose is to take everyone where they want to go, that's all. Before this, no matter what anyone did, I I don’t want to pursue it anymore, but don’t make any more mistakes in the future. This is my last tolerance. Next, we set sail and continue our course. That’s it.”
Captain Morgan finished speaking and walked towards the captain's cabin.
At this moment, a sharp-eyed passenger suddenly saw something on the sea in the distance and shouted: "Then... what is that?"
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned and turned to look behind the "Nalu Rongguang Fisherman".
Captain Morgan also stopped, glanced towards the back of the ship, and then his eyes suddenly shrank.
Then I saw a huge sea ship that was completely black and twice the size of the "Nalu Rongguang Fisherman", catching up with it through the wind and waves.
There is a human skull printed on the hull of the ship, and the skull's eye sockets are burning blue flames.
There was no one on the deck, and the entire ship seemed to be under the control of some supernatural force. It kept moving, getting closer and closer to the "Naru Rongguang Fisherman".
This is!
"Ghost ship!"
Suddenly someone shouted!
The voyage was delayed and someone kept urging, so... the ghost ship, which was supposed to arrive in two days, took more than a day and a half to successfully catch up!
