The morning of the fifth day.
There was still thick fog on the sea.
"Amy! Why did you fall asleep here?!" Mike yawned and walked out of the cabin, and saw the little boy sitting on the corner.
There was no barrel or anything beside her, so she was obviously not here to deliver food.
Zhou Tang was pushed awake by Mike. Looking at her confused yet clear eyes, Mike asked the question again.
Zhou Tang was startled, with a look of panic on his face, and asked Mike, "Uncle Mike, why am I here?! Aren't I resting in the cabin next to the kitchen? What time is it now?"
She rubbed her eyes and thought to herself: She might have really entered a magical story.
Trying to recall yesterday's heavenly songs and chants, I found that my head was empty.
Yesterday, she wanted to get close to the pit, but she didn't expect to be swallowed directly by the pit.
Mike looked at the little boy up and down, and then looked at her expression carefully. Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately became serious, "It's already broad daylight, please go back to the kitchen, I need your help in the kitchen."
"Go back, don't be afraid!" Mike stretched out his hand to pat the young boy's shoulder to comfort him, but his hand reached into the air and never came down.
Zhou Tang didn't know what Mike was thinking of, but she seemed to see that Mike was a little scared. This was not a good time to ask questions. She nodded and walked to the kitchen in confusion.
When he returned to the kitchen, the fat uncle was already busy with his work. When he saw that the little boy was late, he was not angry. Instead, he was concerned and said, "Amy, you are late today. Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhou Tang glanced at the fat uncle in fear, and murmured without blushing, "Uncle, I... I slept in the cabin last night, but this morning I woke up at the bottom of the boat! It was still Uncle Mike. It woke me up. But I couldn't remember how I got there."
She had to make up a good reason for herself to eliminate the suspicion that she took the initiative to go to the bottom of the ship.
The fat uncle looked serious, "What did you say? Amy, do you know what you are talking about?"
Zhou Tang lowered his eyes and nodded, "I seem to be possessed, and I seem to have heard the call of some song."
The fat uncle's eyes widened and his face turned ugly. He pulled off the apron from his waist and threw it vigorously on the wooden table. Then he wanted to rush out, but he stopped abruptly as soon as he left the kitchen.
"Amy, go deliver the food first, and we'll talk about it when you come back after delivering the food! Before that, don't tell anyone about this." The fat uncle warned sternly.
"Also, tell Mike not to talk nonsense."
Zhou Tang showed a worried expression and nodded solemnly.
Immediately, she gave breakfast to everyone with a sullen face.
When delivering meals to the slaves and nobles in the cages at the bottom of the ship, Zhou Tang conveyed the fat uncle's words to Mike.
In addition, he made the same request as yesterday, hoping to take the baron's bodyguard, a good comrade who once helped the pirates survive the storm, out to open a small stove.
Mike agreed.
Zhou Tang and Cheng Mu came to the small cabin where no one had been for a long time.
Zhou Tang said with an ugly face, "Last night I came near the cage and heard the slaves chanting and unusual natural singing. I fell unconscious after that."
Cheng Mu did the same thing last night. He spread his hands and there were two balls of cloth on his palms. "The slave's singing has a hypnotic effect, but I didn't hear any natural singing. I tried putting some cloth in my ears, maybe it was The effect was not good and I fell asleep after a short time.
But I saw the dark red light, which formed a strange and uncomfortable pattern. "
He seemed to be able to feel the cold air on it.
Zhou Tang narrowed his eyes slightly and guessed, "This copy is very abnormal, a little more magical.
Let me think about it, this is a medieval pirate ship from the ancient Blue Star. What magical existence is there on this continent? Could it be a witch? ! "
She caught the flash of inspiration in her head and looked at Cheng Mu with bright eyes.
Cheng Mu felt that the young boy's eyes were as dazzling as gems at this moment, causing him to lose consciousness for a moment.
Zhou Tang looked at Cheng Mu who was distracted and said somewhat unhappy, "What do you think?"
Cheng Mu's thoughts returned, "Witch? What is a witch?"
Zhou Tang frowned and realized that witches belonged to the ancient Blue Star. In the distant interstellar era, no one except those ancient historians knew or cared about witches, including witches and the derivative stories behind them.
She sighed and explained resignedly, "Witches can use witchcraft and magic to create a series of supernatural events, which are things that cannot be explained by existing logic. Just like before when we heard chants and songs, we had no power to resist. Just fell into a dream.”
Cheng Mu frowned slightly, "It sounds like the witch is very capable, and we don't seem to have the ability to compete with her."
And the baron put himself in the cage legitimately, did he covet the witch's ability?
Zhou Tang shook his head slightly and said, "Because of the witch's ability, if you encounter a witch in the ancient Blue Star Middle Ages, you will burn the witch to death!
This is a bloody history, and countless people were accidentally killed. But because of the special abilities and threats possessed by witches, ordinary people would rather kill them by mistake than let them go. "
So do the captain and others know that there are witches among these slaves?
She continued to speculate rationally, "There must be people who know witchcraft and magic among those slaves, plus the weird patterns you mentioned, and the singing coming from the distance..."
Zhou Tang seemed to have thought of something, "I know what they are doing! They are summoning... the devil. Once the devil comes, we will not be able to survive."
Cheng Mu was surprised and said, "Devil?!"
She replied, "There is no time to explain so much now. If you are interested, you can search for the history of the ancient Blue Star on the Star Network after clearing this copy of the game.
I think the strange dark red pattern you see is the formation to summon the devil. The singing last night seemed far away from us, and there was something strange about it. When I stepped into the bottom floor of the pirate ship last night, I felt something strange. "
Cheng Mu thought, "We can either find the... witch hidden in the slave so that she can no longer move, or we can destroy the formation that summons the devil."
Mike was already urging him outside the door, so Zhou Tang could only speak quickly, "I will find a way to resist the chanting and singing as soon as possible. As long as we are not affected by the sound, we will be more than half successful."
Cheng Mu nodded, took the hard biscuit handed over by Zhou Tang, turned sideways and asked Zhou Tang to open the hatch.
Zhou Tang returned to the kitchen carrying the empty barrel.
The fat uncle was seen pacing anxiously inside. As soon as he saw Zhou Tang, he pulled her out and said, "Amy, come with me! Leave these barrels alone."
"Uncle!?"
"Let's go find the captain. The captain will tell us the answer." The fat uncle replied casually.
