Chapter 10 Verification
His sharp eyes fell on Cheng Mu for a few seconds and then moved away, and the slaves gathered around him again.

The baron was lying in front of a middle-aged woman who was dressed in filthy black clothes and linen. On the wall of the ship behind the middle-aged woman, a strange and strange unknown pattern was smeared with blood at some point. The pattern exuded a faint dark red. The light flickers on and off as if it can breathe.

The baron raised his head slightly with great piety, and his eyes seemed to look through the woman at the strange pattern. The woman stretched out her right hand and put it on the baron's head, and uttered a strange whisper in her mouth.

It was a whisper but also a chant, and it was in this situation that Cheng Mu fell into a deep sleep unknowingly.

On the morning of the fourth day, the wooden spoon kept hitting the barrel, and the dull sound made Cheng Mu wake up.

This night he had several nightmares in a row. He kept running away and avoiding. His body was exhausted and his spirit was listless.

Zhou Tang said expressionlessly, "Come here quickly to get the meal!"

She arrived at the bottom cage much earlier today than yesterday. The baron and his team, the slaves, and even Mike, who was guarding outside the cage, were all sleeping soundly.

Alas, she tossed and turned for half the night last night, and finally managed to fall asleep while counting sheep. She thought that the suspicious aspect of the "Seven Days of Survival Game" was that the ship could never find its way back.

However, she has not made any useful discoveries so far.

The problem that I thought could be solved was once again put on the table, but I had no way of starting.

She thought she needed to take the opportunity to search the pirate ship inside and out, and she would always find suspicious points.

After Cheng Mu woke up with a start, his eyes swept around the cage and finally fell on the Baron. The Baron was lying in the corner as before going to bed yesterday. Beside him was Harry, while Madam and Xiaoxing were cuddling against each other.

At this time, the sound of the little boy delivering food rang out. Madam and Xiaoxing were sleepy-eyed. Harry yawned, and the people on the slave side were already approaching the little boy to get food.

What was discovered was that there was always someone at the location where the Baron entered last night.

Faintly as if covering something.

Cheng Mu stood up and came to the baron. He stretched out his hand to touch the baron's forehead. His forehead was warm and no longer burning, as if the situation had improved.

I wonder if the medicine given by the ship's doctor yesterday had an effect, or if the slaves did something to the baron?
The lady noticed Cheng Mu's movements and asked, "Baron, is he okay?"

Cheng Mu replied, "It seems fine. The fever is gone."

The lady smiled, "That's really lucky."

Cheng Mu repeated, "Are you really lucky?"

Xiaoxing didn't eat enough yesterday. She rubbed her belly and squeezed the slave away to come to Zhou Tang. When she saw the bucket of dark hard biscuits, she said angrily, "Why is it this tooth-cutting stone again? We are different from these people. !”

Zhou Tang didn't even raise his eyes and said "Oh" lightly, "What's the difference? Aren't they all locked up in prison?"

Xiaoxing was furious, "They are slaves! We are nobles! How can such despicable food enter my mouth?"

The slaves around him looked sideways at Xiaoxing. Zhou Tang couldn't tell whether the look in his eyes was indifferent or tolerant and angry.

Before Zhou Tang could speak, a weak voice came, "Xiaoxing, what nonsense are you talking about?! Come back soon."

The person who spoke out was actually the seriously injured Baron? !

The baron covered his stomach with one hand and supported his body with the other. He had a fierce look in his eyes, as if Xiaoxing had said something treasonous.

That's right, Xiaoxing should learn to keep a low profile at this time.

The baron also had this name to reprimand Xiaoxing.

It just made Zhou Tang look at the baron one more time.

Xiaoxing frowned and said reluctantly, "Am I wrong?! We are nobles, why should they stay with us?"

After she replied to her nominal father, she turned her head as if to give way, "Food deliveryman, please take us back to our original residence as soon as possible! At worst, we will stay in the cabin until the ship... docks."

Zhou Tang was not in a good mood and had no intention of listening to her nonsense. "If you don't want to eat, just go away. You have to explain this to the captain. It's useless to talk to me, a little food delivery person."

She put Xiaoxing's portion of food directly into the hands of the slave next to her, "It's an advantage for you. She won't eat it, so here it is."

Before Xiaoxing wanted to talk nonsense, the baron signaled the lady and others to bring her back quickly.The madam also knew that the kid was difficult to deal with, so she pulled Xiaoxing back with half a drag and half a hug.

Cheng Mu glanced at the baron thoughtfully, came to Zhou Tang, and directly stated that he wanted to pick up the meals for the four of them.

He inquired, "Little brother, have you found the route? How long until we can dock?"

Zhou Tang frowned slightly and couldn't tell a lie, so he could only shirk the blame and said, "This is something only the captain knows."

Cheng Mu asked in a low voice, "Little brother, do you know where this slave comes from?"

Zhou Tang glanced at him inexplicably, "We are pirates, where do you think they came from?"

The pirates targeted the small villages along the coast, burning, killing, and looting. It was nothing unusual.

Cheng Mu hesitated, turned around and whispered, "Why do I feel that my Lord the Baron cares about those slaves?"

Just like he didn't believe that the young boy casually said, 'I wonder if I can eat hard biscuits in a few days? 'Same.

Zhou Tang stared at Cheng Mu's back, thinking about what he wanted to ask but still couldn't say it out.

She left with confusion.

But Cheng Mu wanted to verify it.

As far as he knows, the game "Ancient Blue Star" recruits game fixers from the outside to eliminate bugs caused by the game's operation.

Game restorers have completely different identities than players.

He suspected that the young boy in the kitchen was most likely a game restorer. He could be seen everywhere on the ship, even after the storm when he faced the strong Yu Chi and the cunning Baron.

If the boy is only 15 years old, it would be difficult for even the Pirates reserve team to do this.

At this time, he was in prison and in urgent need of a helper, and he boldly and carefully guessed that the bug in this copy was related to the flash of red light he saw last night.

Maybe they can cooperate inside and outside to find out the secrets of the baron and these slaves.

Those who understand will naturally understand a sentence that is unclear, while those who do not understand will turn a deaf ear to it.

Cheng Mu returned to his wife and others and distributed the food in his hands to everyone. However, the baron seemed to appease Xiaoxing and gave her the hard biscuits on the pretext of his poor appetite.

It's just that Xiaoxing didn't give the baron face and refused directly.

Cheng Mu took a small bite of the hard biscuit and drank it with a sip of water. "Actually, when you chew it carefully, you can see that this biscuit has a wheat flavor, so it's not too unpalatable."

Harry nodded and said, "It's like a tool for grinding teeth, and it tastes better than mixed-flavor nutritional supplements!"

The lady sighed, "You can at least drink the nutritional supplements in one gulp, this... yuck."

It was too dry, so she quickly took a sip from the water glass.

"The buttery bread is still sweet and delicious."

Xiaoxing laughed out loud, "In terms of deliciousness, the bread made from the wheat produced on the planet McCann, ground into fine flour, and the butter produced on the planet Duolun is added to it is outstanding! This is the central planet mousse. The sign of a big hotel!”

Neither Harry nor his wife had ever been to the Grand Hotel, and they looked at each other in confusion.

Cheng Mu turned to the Baron and said, "If you were in the alliance, your injury could be healed with just a dose of low-level human repair potion. You wouldn't have to be like this now, having to lie down for two days to barely stop having a fever, and still have to worry all the time." Wound inflammation and other issues.”

Sometimes players will inadvertently reveal something about the Star Alliance in the real world, but these words will be rationalized in the ears of NPCs.

Cheng Mu recalled the time they spent together. Upon closer inspection, the baron was always vague, or didn't talk much, and kept his origins and background well-hidden.

He used to be a baron with outstanding anti-reconnaissance capabilities, but now he has new ideas.

Maybe the Baron is not a player? !
