Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 384 Dining

"Or first?"

As if he still hadn't recovered from the conversation just now, Klein repeated doubtfully.

"Would you rather go hang out on the deck first?"

Angel replied with a chuckle, catching the trace of disappointment on Klein's face that even the Faceless Man's ability couldn't suppress.

He stood up abruptly from the sofa.

At that moment, Angel almost thought that this crazy adventurer was going to practice the true meaning of acting here first, but Klein just took his suitcase, entered the master bedroom, took out the clothes and necessary items and put them away, and then Back to the living room again.

"Let's go to the restaurant."

He said in a calm tone.

Why have you changed back to Klein mode? Angel conveyed his thoughts with his eyes.

"Even a crazy adventurer will show his kindness and tenderness to a beautiful lady..."

Klein saw Angel's doubts and went about adding a new temperament to "Gehrman".

"Well, beautiful lady?"

"Ahem, it's the beautiful Ann...Miss Angelica."

Klein hurriedly explained.

----

The two of them walked around on the upper deck first, and after getting familiar with the environment on the ship, they slowly came to the exclusive first-class luxury restaurant. It was located in the position with the best view on the White Onyx, with rows of large windows on both sides. The portholes provide excellent lighting, the environment is elegant, and there is a violinist playing melodious music in the corner, making Angel feel like he has returned to Backlund's aristocratic salon.

Large and small tables can seat hundreds of people, but at this time only one-third of the seats are occupied by first-class passengers. Different tables are separated by screens or cabinets to ensure a certain degree of privacy.

Angel and Klein chose a table by the window and sat down. On the recommendation of the waiter, they ordered lamb stewed with peas, foie gras baked in red wine, vegetable salad and other dishes. These fresh ingredients turned into something wonderful in the hands of the chef. The food was inferior to that of a high-end hotel, so the two of them, who had just settled for breakfast casually, had a great time.

"I've made this dish before," Klein said suddenly, scooping up a spoonful of the soft stewed mutton and pouring it into the plate in front of him. "I had just graduated at that time, and my family was entirely supported by Benson's income. , you can only eat meat twice a week, but the delicious taste of coarse salt, black pepper and mutton is more unforgettable than any chef's skills."

His eyes were a little out of focus, and he was obviously thinking of the life with Melissa and Benson in Tingen City.

"When the Zangwill problem is solved and everyone can continue to live together, I will definitely try the mutton stew you made."

Angel comforted with a smile, but she knew that the best way to protect Benson and Melissa was to forget them. Klein did the same thing. Even when "0-08" had left Backlund, he He suppressed his feelings and did not recognize the brother and sister he met by chance.

To solve this problem, I'm afraid the only way...

She dipped the soft bread into some gravy and stuffed it into her mouth, forcing herself to turn her thoughts back to the delicious food in front of her, temporarily forgetting these melancholy things.

……

After the meal, Angel, who was enjoying dessert, found that the door leading to the bow of the ship was opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a dark red coat and a boat-shaped hat walked in with several sailors in formal suits. Restaurant, come to the center.

"Good afternoon, everyone. I am the captain of the White Onyx, Alan Cager," the man said loudly, attracting the attention of everyone who was dining or had put down their tableware. "These are my first mate and second mate. ,Boatswain……"

He pointed at the crew members and sailors behind him one by one and introduced them, while the latter smiled and bowed.

"During the expected nine-day trip, I hope everyone can abide by a few onboard rules, spend this not-so-long journey happily, and arrive at the destination safely."

Ireland began to introduce the rules on the ship, such as no fighting, no vandalism, etc. Angel thought it was an ordinary meeting, but he soon felt that the middle-aged man exuded a touch of majesty, and as he spoke loudly "Rules" give people the feeling of "must be followed".

She immediately thought of the familiar bounty hunter Hugh Dilcha. The latter is an Extraordinary of the "Arbiter" path. He has had similar extraordinary abilities since Sequence 9. He can add submissive words to his words and actions. strength.

It seems that the captain has no intention of hiding his identity as an Extraordinary... That's right. Ordinary people will only think that he is full of majesty and will spontaneously abide by the rules on the ship. And if there are Extraordinaries among the passengers, they will also know that the Captain is not someone to be trifled with. She should restrain her words and deeds... She looked around the restaurant and found that almost all the passengers were listening carefully to the arbiter's words. Even the family of four and their entourage that she saw when they boarded the ship occupied the entire big table. They all stopped holding the knives and forks in their hands and looked at the center of the restaurant. It was obvious that Captain Ireland had achieved his goal.

"Sure enough, the arbitrator's ability is very suitable for this kind of situation... Well, what are you doing?"

Angel sighed in a low voice and looked at Klein on the other side of the table, only to find that he was frowning and seemed to be deep in thought as he looked at the captain who was preparing to leave after announcing the rules.

"I'm thinking, if I want to achieve the same effect, shock the whole crowd, and make them listen to my orders, what method should I use," Klein turned around and said in a low voice as well, "For example, pointing a pistol at the ceiling Fire a shot, or make some exaggerated noise?"

"Then the whole restaurant will be empty in an instant, like opening a can of wolf fish."

"makes sense……"

The "crazy" adventurer nodded in agreement, and his eyes returned to the plate in front of him, but he seemed to be shocked by the word canned wolf fish, and he hesitated for a moment before putting down his knife and fork.

……

After lunch, most of the passengers in the restaurant went to the entertainment room on the same floor. There are common entertainment activities such as billiards and poker. Passengers who know each other or do not know each other can quickly mingle through these games.

But pool?

At this time, the White Agate had left the offshore sea after several hours of driving. The increasing wind and waves caused the ship to shake slightly. Although it would not make people seasick, it would probably ruin the experience of billiards games that require precise aiming. sexual...

She curiously went to the ball table to study it, and soon discovered that the table here was different from those she usually saw. The surface velvet was much thicker, which would reduce the rolling distance of the ball, but it could also effectively prevent the interference of wind and waves. Many men were very interested in this new experience and quickly occupied two tables.

When Angel returned to Klein, he was surprised to find that he was chatting with a man in his thirties wearing a long trench coat.

It was the bodyguard of the family of four... Angel recognized the man's identity and did not disturb them. Instead, he secretly listened to a conversation and found that the two were communicating with each other... Adventure experience?

Klein talks less and listens more, and the former adventurer and current bodyguard named Cleeves is a bit talkative. Because he is worried about the safety of his employer on the ship, he takes the initiative to contact Klein, a guy who looks a bit dangerous, but now he keeps Telling about his adventures made Angel somewhat suspicious of his purpose.

Seeing Klein's gaze, she nodded and walked aside, not to disturb the conversation between the two adventurers.

However, this Clevis didn't seem to notice that in addition to "Gehrman Sparrow", there was another dangerous person on the ship...

She stood by one of the portholes, looking at the blue sea outside the window, feeling a little sad in her heart.

The successful promotion to the "Pain" Witch two days ago not only improved Angel's previous extraordinary abilities such as frost, black flames and curses, but also gave her a brand new ability - disease.

This allows her to quickly make all living things sick in a wide range centered on herself. At first, it is just symptoms such as itching, fever, cough, etc. If she does not leave in time or take corresponding measures, it will turn into severe pneumonia within a minute. If you wait for serious illness, you will die from fatal illnesses such as myocardial infarction and cerebral thrombosis in up to three minutes.

To be precise, when she exerts her full strength, all creatures within a radius of 50 meters will die in an instant. If they are in a relatively closed building, this speed will be further accelerated.

Now in the middle of the White Onyx, if this ability is activated, except for Klein who can use the flame jump to escape from the ship, everyone else may not be able to escape death. In less than five minutes, this ship will be filled with hundreds of passengers and sailing on the sea. The ship will turn into a large coffin... As far as she knows, it is impossible for other Sequence 5s to achieve such a high killing efficiency...

Angel thought gloomily, and there was an urge to "try it" in his heart.

After Backlund was forcibly promoted in the East District, controlling this ability, amplified by the sapphire ring, caused hundreds of thousands of people to contract non-fatal itching and pharyngitis, allowing her to perform the "pain" sequence in advance, so that the devil The medicine has been partially digested. If the disease is actively used to kill hundreds of people on this ship...

Do not!

Angel quickly put an end to this dangerous thought.

Even at Sequence 9, she did not try to harm the lives of innocent people to digest the magic potion and speed up her promotion, not to mention that she has firmly reached Sequence 5 now.

After suppressing the instinctive temptation brought by the potion, she felt a little relieved and felt that the sea outside the window was much bluer.

"Sister, it's dangerous near the window. Be careful not to fall."

A slightly innocent voice sounded beside her, and Angel looked sideways. It was the little boy he had met at the boarding gate. He was wearing a children's version of a tuxedo formal suit that should not be worn at his age. He looked up at Angel curiously.

"Denton! Be careful!" Her sister, a girl about the same age as Melissa but with a completely different personality, quickly stepped forward, pulled Denton over and protected her, "She looked so good just now. fear!"
