"Crash..."
The sea water hits the rocks, and the waves rush up to the beach and then recede.
In the port of the Island of the Dead, the ghost ship started to move, adjusting its sails and rudder amidst the command, slowly turning, sailing out of the harbor and heading into the vast sea.
On the sea in the distance, on the line between sea and sky, a faint twilight shines through, heralding the dawn of a new day.
Standing on a rock high on the Island of the Dead, Richard watched the ghost ship go away with a calm look on his face.
Letting Captain Morgan go was not a whim for him, but to reduce interference.
Now that the Necromancer was completely dead, he had to spend a lot of time to figure out what the Necromancer was studying by sorting out the information. In this process, the fewer people on the island, the better.
It is true that he could achieve the same effect by killing Captain Morgan and his group, but he is not a murderer. Maybe he doesn't think he is a good person, but he doesn't want to be a complete bad person according to a certain standard - in a sense, it is sad to live a certain kind of person according to certain requirements.
He is himself, neither good nor bad, and will not be bound by moral shackles, but he will not take pleasure in trampling on morality and taking the lives of innocent people. For him, killing is just a means, a way of dealing with things. Whatever he does, he will analyze it rationally. If he needs to kill people, he will kill as many people as possible without blinking an eye. If he doesn't need to kill people, he will naturally choose a more trouble-free way.
It is obviously much easier to let Captain Morgan and his team go than to kill him. At least he doesn't have to do anything, and he doesn't have to deal with a lot of corpses. The numerous Stitch Monster corpses on the island alone are enough for him to deal with for a while. Really I don't want to increase my workload.
It would be okay to let Captain Morgan go and let the other party drive away the ghost ship.
The ghost ship is not the only ship in the island port. There are also several small sailing ships in the corner, which can fully meet his needs to leave the island.
In fact, since he is only one person, it is very difficult to really sail the ghost ship alone. After all, the ghost ship is a sailboat, not a high-tech automated ship. It requires the joint efforts of many people to control it. In this way, small sailing boats are more suitable for him.
Thinking about this, Richard glanced at the sea and saw that the ghost ship had turned into a black spot. The next moment he turned around and walked towards the stone building.
…
In front of the stone building.
When Richard walked back, he saw Pandora still riding on the body of the black suture monster, and continued to beat the black suture monster's head with her fists.
"Qiqi... Qiqi... Qiqi..." Pandora frowned and kept making sounds, obviously still stuck.
With his eyebrows raised, Richard thought about whether to remind Pandora.
At this time, Pandora's eyes suddenly opened wide, and she shouted with some excitement: "I remembered, yes, I remembered! Seventy-seven-forty-nine!"
As Pandora finished speaking, she punched her fist as hard as she could to vent her anger.
"Boom!"
Only a muffled sound was heard, and the black suture monster's entire head was violently smashed into the soil, completely disappearing from sight.
Richard: "..."
Pandora didn't notice Richard's strange expression. She jumped down from the corpse, looked over with pride, and showed off: "Richard, Richard, I've memorized it, I've memorized it! I've memorized the seven-character watch." , I really recited it! Do you believe it? If you don’t believe it, I will recite it to you again?” The expression on his face is just short of writing: Praise me quickly, praise me quickly!
Richard chuckled after seeing it, and said to Pandora: "Have you memorized it? It's very good. I believe you, no need to prove it. But... Having said that, memorizing the seven-character list is not over yet, there are also eight-character list and nine-character list. surface."
"Ah!" Pandora's eyes widened, and after blinking hard, she suddenly showed a sad expression. It was like having gone through a lot of hard work and finally climbed over a mountain, only to suddenly find that there were two other higher mountains ahead.
"There are also eight-character tables and nine-character tables!" Pandora shouted, "Are they there? Why didn't I remember when you taught me before?" At this time, the expression on Pandora's face seemed to be that she didn't want to accept it at all.
"Of course." Richard said, patting Pandora on the head, "So, you'd better continue to memorize it well. Let me review it for you first: one eight is eight, two eight sixteen..."
"One eight equals eight, two eight hundred and sixteen..." As Richard spoke, Pandora followed and murmured in a low voice.
After a while, Richard finished speaking and walked into the stone building. Pandora sat down at the door of the stone building and recited dejectedly: "One eight makes eight, two eight and sixteen... Three eight... Three eight... This seems to be more It’s difficult…”
…
In the days that followed, Richard kept busy.
First, he disposed of the body of the Stitch Monster, and then continued to sort and analyze the information left by the dead Necromancer, trying to find out the desired knowledge from it and digest it.
The reason for doing this is that he does not want to accept all the research of the Necromancer. In his opinion, the cost-effectiveness of making a creature like the Stitch Monster is too low. If you have this time, energy and investment to create a suture monster, you might as well spend money to hire a group of elite warriors who are more powerful in combat and... can understand human speech.
As the data continued to be compiled and analyzed, as a few days passed, Richard found that it was a wise decision not to accept the Necromancer's research in its entirety. Because as the sorting and analysis work continued, he found that the so-called suture monster's cost performance might be even lower than he expected.
The most important point is that the Stitch Monster is not made, but transformed.
Yes, transformation.
According to a series of information and notes of the Necromancer, the Stitch Monster is not made from completely lifeless corpses, but uses a living human core, and constantly uses strange means to add various foreign tissues to become the Stitch Monster.
In other words, each stitch monster is like a person wearing a monster coat, and this coat is made from numerous corpses.
And due to some force majeure reasons, this kind of modification will damage the human brain. The more modifications are made, the greater the damage. Therefore, the bigger and stronger the Stitch Monster looks, the stupider it looks.
Since then, in Richard's eyes, the status of the Stitch Monster instantly dropped from "Dolly the cloned sheep" to the level of "experimental mouse for organ transplantation".
But no matter what, a lot of knowledge applied to the Stitch Monster is still very useful. Richard feels that a thorough study will definitely be helpful to his research.
Facts have proved that he was right.
