A common tavern that connects all fantasy worlds

Finnegan's speedboat was already very close to the ship, and all sight lines were occupied by this thing.The turbulent tide didn't even have any impact on the cruise ship. It anchored in the middle of the sea, as stable as if nailed to the bottom of the sea...the tonnage was simply too large.

The luxury of this cruise ship can be seen from the various decorations on the hull. Each cabin is connected with the corresponding deck by a transparent full-cover dome, and the entire side is covered with French windows, which are combined like a Huge glass curtain wall.

The only thing that is a little strange is that the cruise ship is now quiet and there is no sound coming over, which makes people a little suspicious... It doesn't look like there is no one with the bright lights?

Hanover didn't care so much, he shook the gun in his hand a little, and said, "Even if you row by hand, you have to get close enough for me. We are going to board the boat now. You come with us."

"...I'm going too?" Finnegan asked in surprise.

"Yes, you're coming too." Hanover nodded. Finnegan was the only one on this ship who was a bit capable, so I didn't feel relieved to keep him.Others could make Billy look good, but this man must come aboard!

Chapter 41 Death

The speedboat dropped its stern anchor, and relying on the remaining speed of the ship and Finnegan's manual control, it approached the huge cruise ship while slowing down, and finally stopped near parallel to it.

Finnegan only had time to wink covertly at Jack before being forcibly taken onto the cruise ship by the mercenaries.

He also doesn't know if this "Captain Sparrow" understands it, but at this time, people are using knives and we are fish, and there is no other way but to pin their hopes on this man.

Jack still looked timid, frantically turning the winch of the anchor chain, as if he didn't see Finnegan's prompt... But Finnegan didn't have a chance to do anything else, a gun is very It was almost on his waist, forcing him to walk on the deck.

The mercenaries didn't have to pretend any more, they had ferocious smiles on their faces, and they looked at the crew members here maliciously, until Hanover shouted hypocritically in front: "Let's go! Don't embarrass yourself who takes money to do things." people'."

If Joey hadn't found the torpedo on the bottom floor, maybe Finnegan and the others would have really thought that these people were just ordinary pirates who went to this luxury cruise ship to rob the rich... and they would really There is hope of survival after the mission is completed.

But at this time, everyone knows what these mercenaries are here for - they want to blow up this huge cruise ship, and they want money and lives; Port that moment is over.

A group of people quickly threw out the hook rope, climbed up the open side hatch of the cruise ship, and entered the interior of the big ship.

This was originally a cabin for parking small motorboats, surfboards, swimming rings and other things. The cabin door is very close to the water surface, which is convenient for the rich people who come here to enjoy the tourism and enjoy the water directly.

After all the troops had entered the interior of the cruise ship, Billy, who was left on the speedboat, frowned and asked several crew members, "How long will it take you to repair this ship?"

"...Not sure, we have to go to the engine room to check the situation first." After looking at his girlfriend, Joey replied.

"Okay then... you two are mechanics, now you can go down and fix the boat. You, the dreadlocks... you stay and help me," Billy said.

What he called "helping" was actually to lift the box from the cargo hold to the upper deck so that he could load the torpedo.

Jack bowed his head and agreed, bowed his head under the gun, followed Joey and Lila to the stairs.

Because the speedboat was not too big, and the stairs were relatively narrow, and Billy, who was holding a gun, was really strong, so he had to clamp his arms tightly and bend over to pass there.

Just as he raised one hand to grab the upper deck and stretched his feet down the narrow stairs, Joey in the front suddenly let out an oops, and then pulled Lila into the side wall. cabin.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Billy raised the gun in shock, but at this time he was operating it with one hand... It was obviously too slow to control the light machine gun with one hand, and he was subconsciously caught by the two The individual drew attention, ignoring Jack Sparrow, who was walking down with his head bowed.

Jack turned around suddenly, stepped on the last step of the stairs with his right foot, jumped up lightly, pulled the rifle sling hanging around Billy's neck, and pulled him backwards, using his own weight to make him fall backwards go.

Billy was thrown off balance by the blow, and his back and neck hit the stairs hard, and he couldn't help screaming in pain.But the more painful thing was still behind, I saw that Jack suddenly took out a short knife from nowhere, inserted it obliquely upwards from the lower edge of the body armor next to the spine on his back, and then gritted his teeth and cut horizontally.

He didn't know what material his dagger was made of. Human flesh and blood seemed unable to block the sharp edge at all, and Billy's entire back was cut open by him.A large amount of blood and internal organs spewed out from the wound. The tall and strong man lost his ability to resist almost instantly, and lay down on the stairs without making a sound, dead.

Joey and Lila in the cabin cautiously poked their heads out and saw Jack drying the blood on the hapless boy's dagger.

How could he still have that submissive and cautious look, at this moment he grunted solemnly, bent down and said softly to the corpse on the stairs:

"Just send you alone on the boat to look at me, Captain Jack Sparrow, and look down on me."

Seeing that the mercenary had been dealt with, Joey rushed out and asked the boss who he said was brought back from the "tavern": "What should I do? Are you still coming as planned?"

"No, the plan is no longer working..."

Jack shook his head regretfully.

Originally, what they discussed was that while the mercenaries were looting on the ship, a few people would deal with the guards and then restart the engine.

While those desperadoes were still planning to make a fortune, a few of them had already gone somewhere, and then they would move these "torpedoes" to the tavern, call the police and catch the bastards on the cruise ship, perfect plan.

But not now... Finnegan was forced by the group of people to go to the big ship together, and the few people had to rescue him first anyway.

They can only rely on their own strength to complete this matter: without Finnegan leading the way, Jack can't even go back to the tavern.

Captain Jack thought about it carefully and decided to change the plan. He said to the two mechanics: "Do you know how to install the 'torpedo'?"

Lila shook his head, and Joey hesitated for a while before saying to Jack: "I saw a simple launching tube in the bottom cabin, just weld that thing to the deck, and the torpedo will automatically track the target range after launching The largest source of heat in the... is the cruise ship."

"Okay, you two can start... This is our second hand, please remember to be careful."

Jack ordered.

If something goes wrong, you can directly give this torpedo to those mercenaries for a try.As for the tourists on this ship... Finnegan's ship has a satellite phone, and the original plan is to call the police.

Joey asked again, "What about Finnegan?"

Jack touched the secret weapon behind his waist, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I'll save him. Remember to start the engine and be ready to meet the two of us at any time. Hold this guy's gun..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jack turned around and stepped on the shoulders of the corpse and climbed up, opened the hatch, and got into the wind and rain covering the sea area.

Looking at the huge and daunting ship, he couldn't help feeling a few words, and then plunged into the sea.

When Finnegan was winking with him just now, he had already secretly observed it... The thick anchor chain of this cruise ship directly leads to the interior of the hull, even if there is no need for any hooks, it should be possible to enter the interior of the hull from there .

But could it be his illusion... Before he jumped into the water, he seemed to hear a sound like a beast roaring in the wind.

In the middle of this endless sea, how can there be any beasts?I must have thought too much.

Thinking so, Jack swam towards the anchor chain at the stern of the cruise ship.

At this time, it was late, with heavy wind and rain, and overcast clouds. There was no visibility in the sea, and it was pitch black. Only the lights of two ships reflected on the sea; Jack had to stick his head and face out of the sea in order to see the road clearly. , Swimming across this not-so-short distance with a rather awkward and strange posture.

On the back of the boat, Joey and Laila struggled together to lift a wooden box to the front deck, and were studying how to assemble a simple launcher. In the distance, Jack looked like a water ghost, with a knife in his mouth, and he didn't move at all. Without a word, he climbed onto the thick anchor chain and climbed up the long iron cable.

In a moment, he had disappeared into the hawse hole on the bow of the cruise ship.

This kind of modern large-scale ship generally sets up a special anchor chain room under the windlass, which is used to stack long, thick, strong and heavy metal chains.For ease of operation, there are of course ladders for people to enter and exit. The upper part is connected to other parts of the cabin, and the lower part is a multi-layered solid grille to drain the seawater.

Jack just groped into the chain locker, knew its use after a quick glance, climbed up the stairs, listened to the hatch for a while, and pushed open the door after confirming that there was no movement, and came to the In the corridor.

This part of the cruise ship is the engine room area, and a series of machinery including windlass are concentrated in nearby cabins.It stands to reason that even though the ship has anchored and stopped now, there should be many crew members coming and going, checking the operation status of the equipment, performing maintenance, etc., and it shouldn't be as quiet as it is now...

Jack Sparrow from another world thought so, and then suppressed the doubts in his heart.

Maybe the ships in this world can already drive themselves and go to any place they want according to people's wishes?Finnegan said, yes, "automation".It sounds so worry-free.

He climbed out cautiously and walked in this empty metal corridor.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear another animal howl.This time it was much clearer, because the bulkheads on both sides were even humming, and the echoes from the ventilation ducts that covered the entire corridor lingered in his ears for a long time.

He thought about what kind of animal this voice should belong to, and whether it was something he had seen before, but in the end he could only think of the only name with a dark face.

"Kraken...

"No way, Davy Jones' pet can be chased to another world? I have to die several times before you are satisfied, damn octopus head!"

Just as he was thinking this way, at the end of this corridor, there was a door that rang bang bang bang suddenly.

"What's wrong outside? Come on! Let me out!"

Through the iron gate, a woman's voice could still be heard shouting.

Jack walked over with the knife, and now he may need someone to explain to him what is going on with this ship, and what happened to the sound just now...

Chapter 42 Vitality

Xue Li didn't know the crisis his guests were facing, and he also had his own troubles to deal with.

Since the last time I talked to Ma Rulong, the other party seemed to regard him as a tree hole, and they would talk to him if they had any difficulties.Today I complain about "British ghosts don't care about Hong Kong", tomorrow I complain about "compradors of foreign firms complain about us affecting normal operations", and often talk about two good brothers Hong Tianci and Zhuo Yifei.

After Hong Tianci showed his power and solved the kidnapping case of Baoshun Co., Ltd., he was valued by his superiors and has been promoted all the way. Now he is being entrusted with important tasks and ordered to lead the restructuring of the Hong Kong police force.

Zhuo Yifei went to pay homage to the head of the triad society. Although he hadn't formally joined the triad, let alone took office, he finally got acquainted with the real boss.The other party praised him as "a man in the rivers and lakes, with a country in his heart", which is a great compliment.

As for what these brothers are busy with, Xue Li can also guess the general idea, and he also admires it.

When Ma Rulong came here today, he didn't talk to him about trivial matters, but asked straightforwardly: "...how is Luo Sanpao now?"

"Didn't I be with you when I met him last time?" Xue Li reminded, "After that... I don't know either. Jack also came here to hang around a while ago, and you can ask him later. Say Get up, is there anything else you need to go to Luo Sanpao to confirm?"

Then Ma Rulong talked about what he wanted to know this time.

It turned out that last time Luo Sanpao gave him the secret code of Baoshun Co., Ltd., and asked Zhuo Yifei to sneak in and cooperate with him internally and externally to accomplish a major event, but he forgot one person in the middle.

The two people who had been squatting in the police station and provided him with important information mentioned a person named "One-eyed Li Shun".

At first they thought that the insider in Baoshun Foreign Firm was Li Shun...but then Zhuo Yifei said that he was not one-eyed, and there was no one in the group who lacked eyesight.

At first, Ma Rulong didn't think anything of it. The two pirates said something wrong, remembered something wrong, or Bao Shunhang's insider deliberately gave a false name. These are all possibilities.

But recently, he captured several people who had been pirates before...

Now they hang out on the streets of Hong Kong, some are forced into prostitution, some are stolen and abducted, and some have joined gangs and started a business of sitting on the ground.

He planned to finish the interrogation of these people first, and then send them to Luo Sanpao, but in the process, he heard the name: One-eyed Li Shun.

It is said that he was the one who brought these pirates to Hong Kong and helped them settle down in Hong Kong, but only those who were useful and useful were left by him, and they have never been heard from since; Seeing his face, he quickly spent all the money he got from him, so he could only hang around in the market, teaching and learning.

Who is this one-eyed Li Shun?He gathered a group of people who could be used, what exactly did he want to do?

These questions really can only be answered by going to Luo Sanpao.

After hearing this, Xue Li of course agreed.

Although Jack went to another world, as an "employee" of the tavern, he can also go to him through the key.

I remembered that Luo Sanpao should be on the Interceptor. He had seen that ship and what it looked like when he was there last time.

After Ma Rulong finished his glass of wine, Boss Xue explained to his employees that he planned to take him to a certain sea in that world again.

He has run several times to transport those pirates before, and he is already very proficient in this.

Only this time it's different...

When he held the key and brought Ma Rulong to this world, he unexpectedly found himself on a deserted beach.

The white sand is paved into a long and wide beach, extending towards the sand dunes in the distance; the sky is abnormally light, as if half of the color of the whole world has been forcibly thrown away.

In the other direction, the wreckage of the ship was gradually floating in the waves, such as wooden barrels, templates, canvas, and ropes, all being pushed towards his feet by the endless tide.

Looking farther away, the sea level is connected with the clouds in the sky in a blurry distance, which is as continuous as the desert behind, with no end in sight.

...the door of the tavern stands in this empty place, just like it did before in the wasteland: when the door cannot be opened from the vehicle itself, it appears in the open space next to it.

Luo Sanpao, who was wet all over, came over and said to the two people here: "Why are you here?"

Ma Rulong was still looking around, not thinking about how to speak, so Boss Xue asked, "Where is this place? The Interceptor must have been destroyed, right?"

"A child has no mother, it's a long story."

Luo Sanpao said something casually, sighed, and called the two people over to meet the group of people here.

Tia Doma looked at the two people, and the expression on her face was no longer the "mysterious face" that witches often used. Instead, she had a glimpse of understanding, gently holding the corner of her skirt, and walked towards them a gift.

Barbosa leaned over and asked in a low voice to Boss Xue: "I know your background... Since Jack can be your guest, so can I. What he can do, I usually do the same It can be done. Please consider it seriously."

Xue Li had no choice but to answer truthfully: until now, he has not been very clear about the criteria for selecting guests in taverns.Whether other people can see that door, only the tavern itself can decide.

While dismissing these people, he also pieced together the whole picture of the matter from their narration.

"So, this is a place that is more dead than death. It is the place where the octopus head named Davy Jones imprisoned his prisoners. You have to come here to find Jack because he is one of the nine pirate kings and participated in the seal Calypso, Goddess of the Sea, if he doesn't go back, you won't be able to deal with the Flying Dutchman and Lord Beckett."

Luo Sanpao nodded: "That's right, that's what happened. I understood after hearing what the fortune-teller said, 'Captain' should be with your Boss Xue."

[75. No. 75]

"Also, not here."

Xue Li replied.

Yes, because he was really stuck in the tavern these days, and he couldn't be chased away; he wasn't, because he happened to be out in these two days, and went to help others in Finnegan's world.

After hearing this explanation, Barbosa was still thinking to himself: "Pirates generally don't do things that are not profitable... But we are talking about Jack, so it's hard to say."

Luo Sanpao was impatient, and immediately asked to go to the tavern, intending to bring Jack back in person.

When Ma Rulong asked him the reason, he just pointed to the wreckage of the Interceptor washed up on the shore by the sea, and said angrily: "The boat I earned so hard is gone, and the brother you brought me is also dead." A little half, if I can't feed that bastard with a wool roll to the fish, how can I get rid of the hatred in my heart?"

This fearless spirit is in line with his usual style.

Seeing him turn his eyes again, he discussed with Ma Rulong, his former enemy: "The first time you are born, the second time you are acquainted. Since you have kept your promise and saved my brother's life and sent it here, Luo Laosan can trust you more." Back. How about we make another agreement? As long as you come with me to find the 'captain' back, then I will tell you everything about that one-eyed Li Shun, and I will tell you everything I know."

Ma Rulong thought about it and thought it was fair.Luo Sanpao is a pirate, and his entire foundation was destroyed by the police officer Ma himself before. He had no reason to come to help him, and he couldn't force the other party to tell him about it with a shy face, or use some moral justice Come to ask the other party; now treat this matter as a transaction, just pay the "money" with one hand and the "goods" with the other hand, but it will be easier for both parties.

"...It's a word."

So he agreed.
