Escape in the interstellar game world

Chapter 16 Discovery
In the afternoon of the fifth day, the pirates finally extended their sinful hands to the slaves.

Xiaoxing frowned slightly and hugged his knees in a corner of the cage and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? What do those pirates want to do? They don't want to re-find the route and get to the shore early. They are just messing around."

Although she was complaining, she did not dare to confront the pirates.

Harry closed his eyes and rested, secretly calculating in his mind how many hours he had left before he could leave through the game, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Cheng Mu received the news revealed by Zhou Tang. The captain's illness was accelerating. He suddenly became critically ill this morning and feared that he would die soon.

After diagnosis and treatment by the doctor on the ship, he believed that the witches had harmed the captain. The vice-captain and others decided to find the real culprit among the slaves to save the captain and get the ship out of danger.

The lady looked sympathetically at the slaves who were called out and sent back, "They are too cruel."

The slaves who were sent back had more or less new injuries on their bodies. They looked bloody and were thrown aside like dead dogs. The cage was filled with a strong smell of blood.

It was very uncomfortable for them, who were used to the strange smell in the cage.

There was a look of indifference in the Baron's eyes, as if the partnership at night had melted away in the sunlight of the day.

The lady looked around the small group. If they had not been thrown into the cage, they could have said a few words to persuade the pirates to help the slaves, but since they were unable to protect themselves, they could only turn a blind eye.

She sighed heavily and closed her eyes, out of sight.

Cheng Mu's eyes never left the place where the slaves were gathered together at night, but what surprised him was that the strange pattern of dark red light on the ship's bulkhead that he had seen at night disappeared.

The bulkhead of the ship there was no different from the surrounding wooden boards. If Zhou Tang hadn't had a similar experience to him, he would have had self-doubt.

Is there really the mysterious witch Zhou Tang mentioned among this group of slaves?

Zhou Tang felt that there was, so the fat uncle, the deputy captain and others went to interrogate whether there were any hidden witches among the slaves.

And she stayed in her cabin, a space belonging to a young boy. In addition to gadgets, there were also a few books with yellowed pages.

She flipped through it, and one of them turned out to be a story about Western gods.

With a "pop" sound, the book closed, and Zhou Tang's thoughts gathered together. In the Western mythology system, there are no more than no less gods and monsters about the ocean.

The dark red represents the unknown, and judging from the direction of the whole thing, the slaves should be summoning the famous Siren.

The siren used its beautiful singing voice to confuse the passing ships. The crew members were obsessed with the singing, causing the ships to capsize or hit the rocks and sink. The crew members who fell into the sea also became the prey of the siren.

Don't the slaves want to fight the entire pirate ship to death?
Zhou Tang felt that he had missed some key information, and the intervention of the baron and his party made things from simple to complicated.

The baron doesn't want to die, but the slave has hope and just wants to live. So the agreement reached by the two parties can only let the pirate who has done all evil die.

But the Siren will attack indiscriminately. How can a little human control the Siren's thoughts?
She has not yet uncovered the mystery, but if what she hears at night is the singing of sirens, there is a way to avoid being seduced by hypnosis.

Again in this dusty little cabin.

Cheng Mu looked at the wax ball in his hand, and Zhou Tang explained, "When it's almost time, you first stuff some cotton into your ears, and then seal the ears with wax to isolate the sound. In this way, those chants and songs will not be harmful to us. Then there is the hypnotic effect.

I guess the singing is coming from far away, slowly approaching the sea area where the pirate ship is.The pirates tortured and interrogated those people today, and I think the slaves will take big action tonight. "

Zhou Tang put the short dagger into Cheng Mu's hand, "Your weapon has been taken away. I will lend you this dagger. If something happens that hurts your life, you can only use extraordinary measures. But according to the nature of the game, tomorrow night This is the moment when you can see the truth, tonight is just an appetizer. Remember, what I am looking for is the bug, and your goal is to get the copy script back on track and be able to clear the game."

After she explained this, she added, "I am not responsible for your companions!"

She also saw that on the forum for the game "Ancient Planet" on the Star Network, there were interstellar friends asking for money, and sometimes the price offered was higher than the price offered by the game's external restorer. She has always been polite and insensitive to thanks.

Seriously, Cheng Mu can help his companions easily, but he will not risk his life to save his companions. From the fact that he cannot persuade Yu Chi, Baron and others to find an opportunity to leave this small group, it can be seen that Cheng Mu is a principled person. It is also easy not to be influenced by others.

Cheng Mu nodded, "I understand. I also agree with you."

Zhou Tang raised his eyebrows and said, "We'll see you tonight. I hope to find out the deal between the baron and the slaves, and also find out how they can protect themselves when facing the sirens."

Mike and Ross, who were guarding the lowest level, were a little tired. The vice-captain also arranged for a few more people to stay up all night to watch over the slaves.

But Zhou Tang knew that these unsuspecting guards would be as asleep as she was the night before.

When night fell, the exhausted fat uncle knocked on the young boy's cabin door a few times, then pushed it open and entered.

Zhou Tang stood up in a hurry and asked in confusion, "Uncle?!"

The fat uncle said calmly, "Little Amy, come sleep in my cabin tonight. Tie your and my hands together with a rope. If you are possessed by a demon and go to...place again, you will also alarm me."

Zhou Tang couldn't describe his emotions at this moment.

For the slaves, pirates plundered the small villages where they relied for survival and destroyed everything.

However, he gave protection and tenderness to the pirate's own young boy.

But she was an outsider from beginning to end. She didn't want to change the script, she just wanted to find the bug.

She tried to push away her emotions.

Zhou Tang shook his head and refused, "Uncle...I...have been targeted by the devil, I can't harm you."

The fat uncle frowned and said loudly, "What are you talking about? If you are told to follow me, just follow me. Don't talk so much nonsense."

Maybe Zhou Tang knew a lot, or maybe the fat uncle wanted to find someone to vent his frustrations on, "We checked for a long time, and those slaves were very tough-talking. If you ask me, it's better to kill all the women in them." Throw it into the sea.

But Eric was worried. He was still thinking about the man's promise.The captain's life was almost gone, and he didn't know who would be next, so he was able to calm down.

quick!Come with me.I promised your father. "

It's a life that can save you.

Zhou Tang wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes, but shook his head solemnly and said, "Uncle, I'm not afraid. The doctor also said I'm fine. Go and rest quickly."

Unexpectedly, the fat uncle directly picked up the thin young boy with one hand, kidnapped him into his cabin without any explanation, threw the young boy neatly onto the bed, pulled out the rope and tied their hands tightly together.

"Go to sleep! You'll be fine tomorrow."
