hero?it must be me

The fake sailor raised his chin.

"This is a deal, you kill them for me, and I spare your life, how great it is."

His voice rose somewhat uncontrollably due to excitement.

"Okay, as long as you promise me, I can immediately relieve the pain you are suffering now, come on! Come on—"

"—But, I refuse."

Zheng Qi slowly raised his face which was covered by barnacles.

"Varied?!"

"I, Zheng Qi, one of my favorite things to do..."

His right fist, which had not been affected by the barnacles, suddenly clenched!

"It is to say No to those guys who think they are better than me!"

"Oh? Brother, do you still want to try to beat me up?"

The counterfeit sailor who came back to his senses laughed angrily: "I want my right fist to fall into the hell of barnacles faster—"

"Bang!!!"

It was as if a heavy hammer made of steel had slammed on the rocks in the deep sea, and the heavy muffled sound suddenly exploded in this small warehouse!

But the fake sailor was not harmed, and the dark blue moon floated in front of him intact.

However, the scene in front of him shocked the fake sailor far more than being punched by Zheng Qi.

——Zheng Qi, mercilessly punched himself in the head!

The powerful right fist instantly shattered most of the barnacles growing on Zheng Qi's head, exposing most of his blood-soaked face under the barnacles.

The growth of barnacles is embedded in the flesh, and it is like trying to tear off a good nail by force. It will inevitably be accompanied by sprayed blood and intense pain.

However, on Zheng Qi's scarlet face, there was a carefree smile.

"Bai, idiot! He broke the barnacle by himself!"

Facing Zheng Qi's bloody smile, the fake sailor seemed to have forgotten to suppress his voice, and shouted loudly.

"Do you think this is useful? It's just to let the barnacles grow again, so that you can feel the pain again!"

As he said, at a speed visible to the naked eye, those barnacles squirmed again, trying to occupy the [territory] that Zheng Qi had taken away.

"what?"

As Zheng Qi opened his mouth, blood spilled out along the large and small wounds on his face.

He stood up straight and looked at the fake sailor.

This time, in terms of height, it was Zheng Qi standing tall, looking down on the fake sailor sitting on the box.

"Don't get me wrong."

On Zheng Qi's fists, a real golden flame burned!

That's not ripples, but more destructive, more lethal, bright brilliance condensed by wild wildness and boiling desire to fight!

That brilliance even burned the barnacle growing on Zheng Qi's left arm into ashes flying down!

"What the hell is this?!"

Impossible, after such a long time, even an elephant should be sucked to the ground by the barnacles! !

He must have been just bluffing, trying to intimidate—

"Whoah!"

"Puff!"

The golden fire seemed to have crossed the distance of about five meters between Zheng Qi and the fake sailor in an instant, and the flaming fists, with the momentum of setting off a tornado in this space, alternately landed on the barriers. On the head of the dark blue moon in front of the fake sailor!

Accompanied by two muffled sounds that almost cooperated together, Dark Blue Moon's head was completely distorted and deformed by the sprayed blood like plasticine squeezed from both sides.

"Ah...uh...uh..."

After receiving the damage feedback from the stand-in, the fake sailor, who was bleeding from his seven orifices, had a crooked nose and slanted eyes, murmured for a while.

"Huh? I can't hear you clearly."

Zheng Qi scolded: "Have you been beaten so hard that you can't even speak clearly?"

"You...you have been waiting for me to attack you from the beginning...in order to get as much information as possible from me, so you have been patient until now...so that's why..."

"I said it all, don't get me wrong."

Zheng Qi stretched out his right hand and grabbed the fake sailor's neck again.

"I always keep my word. If you really cooperate, I will really spare your life."

Lifting the fake sailor slowly, Zheng Qi restrained his smile.

What kind of expression is on that blood-soaked face at this moment?Even the fake sailor facing him at this distance couldn't see clearly.

But in those black pupils that were as calm as the surface of a winter lake, the fake sailor could clearly see his distressed appearance.

He subconsciously wanted to say something.

"Wait--"

"Crack."

"..."

Zheng Qi let go of his hand, allowing the broken body to slip and fall to the ground.

"You obviously cherish your life. Why don't you keep such a good habit? Uncle."

Chapter 27 Chapter 26: What kind of weirdo?

"Xiangzi, can you really not remember at all? About how I got into the cabin."

In the infirmary, Jotaro and his party surrounded the girl Kako who was sitting on the hospital bed.

Zechuan Xiangzi, this is the girl's self-reported name.

According to her, she was a student at a private girls' high school in the town where the Kujo family lived.

According to the memories of Jotaro and Kakyoin, there is indeed such a high school in the town.

As for whether Zechuan Xiangzi is a student of this girls' high school, no one present can say for sure.

With Jotaro's character, he would know that there is such a girls' high school, and it is because it is the only private girls' high school in the town, known as a noble school, so it seems to have a lot of topic among boys of the same age.

The situation at Kakyoin is similar.

Both of them just heard about it, and they didn't even know the specific address of this girls' high school, let alone know who the students were.

And if you want to rely on the ability of the SPW consortium to collect intelligence, you have to wait until you land before you can get in touch with the relevant personnel of the SPW consortium.

In this era, although the sea cannot be considered isolated from the world, the development of communication has not yet reached the level where people can do whatever they want.

Therefore, even if they feel unbelievable for a while about Zechuan Xiangzi's words, everyone can't directly refute this weak and helpless girl.

But, why did a female high school student appear on this cruise ship bound for Singapore, and was even hidden at the bottom of the cabin?

That's right, [was] hidden at the bottom of the cabin.

Under Er Qiao's reassurance, Zechuan Xiangzi, who gradually stabilized her mental state in the face of everyone's questions, told her experience.

She remembered going to the department store in town on the last day of the weekend to buy some new clothes, and on the way home she felt sleepy and lost consciousness.

When she regained consciousness, the surroundings were pitch black, which made her panic. After groping around, she found that she was packed in a big box. After finally opening the top cover of the box, she found that she seemed to be in a In a dark space where you can't see the edge clearly.

That's right under the cabin, where the ballast is placed.

Terrified, she shouted for help inside, which attracted the sailors who noticed the abnormality.

After that, it was what everyone on the deck saw.

... sounds like an improvised lie.

This statement is a good way to block the extension of the two doubts.

One is why Kawako Zegawa, who is a high school student, is wearing ordinary clothes.

The second is why Zechuan Xiangzi does not have anything to prove her identity, such as a student ID card.

The reason is simple, she was [abducted] onto this cruise ship when she was out on a rest day.

The time is also very consistent with the departure time of everyone, and the time difference is just enough to ensure that such a little girl will not suffer from physical problems due to hunger or lack of water.

But other than that, there are two suspicious points in this statement that people with a discerning eye would find strange at first glance.

The first is purpose.

If Zechuan Xiangzi was really abducted to the cruise ship by [who], then let’s not talk about who this person is, what is the purpose of this person?Why kidnap a girl who has nothing to do with Jotaro and others on board?

The second is the method.

According to Zechuan Xiangzi, she felt an inexplicable sense of drowsiness, and then quickly lost consciousness, rather than being attacked by [something].

This is a very vague statement.

Even if she was stunned by drugs, she should have some related memories of being attacked.

However, it is this kind of vague statement that can be recognized by Jotaro and his party.

——Because the ability of the stand-in is full of strange things.

Especially in the information provided by Zheng Qi, there really are substitute messengers who can influence others through sleep, and even kill people in their dreams.

Therefore, even if there is only a slight possibility, Jotaro and the others cannot relax their vigilance.

"Then, Xiangzi, besides these, can you think of anything else?"

Erqiao squatted in front of Xiangzi, besides Huajingyuan among the group, he was indeed the most suitable to talk to such a frightened little girl.

"..."

Zechuan Xiangzi shook her head, with tears in her eyes.

"so……"

Er Qiao sighed: "Don't worry, when we arrive in Singapore, I will arrange a special plane to take you home, but you have to be wronged to stay on the ship with us for the time being."

"really?"

Hearing this, Zechuan Xiangzi raised her head and looked at Er Qiao expectantly.

"Of course, but I want you to keep your activities to a minimum during this time on the ship. If you want to walk around, you have to have one or two of us accompany you."

Er Qiao looked at Xiangzi Zechuan seriously: "This is also for your safety, although I don't know who the person who kidnapped you on board is and why, but in case that guy also came on board , you will be safer with us, understand?"

"Ah."

Zechuan Xiangzi nodded heavily.

When Er Qiao talked about the person who kidnapped her, Zechuan Xiangzi showed fear on his face, not like a fake.

"Okay, then you can take a rest first, Abdel, Kakyoin, it's okay for you to stay with her, right?"

"Yes, sir."

"Please leave it to us."

"Well, Jotaro, come with me."

Er Qiao nodded, then turned and left the infirmary.

Jotaro silently followed behind him.

After the two walked a little further, Er Qiao suddenly said, "What do you think, Jotaro?"

"Not like stowaways."

Jotaro said in a deep voice, "However, she doesn't look like an innocent woman."

"You think she's lying?"

"do not know."

Jotaro said bluntly: "Old man, aren't you planning to go directly to Zheng Qi because you can't make a judgment?"
