Chapter 1201 The Pirates Return (V)

Let’s put it another way. Let’s not talk about how the poker game that Feng Bujue and Snow went to as teammates went. Let’s first look at Honghu’s situation.

Unlike Snow, Honghu is very familiar with Brother Jue… Therefore, when he confirmed that Feng Bujue was going to explore “above the deck”, he decisively entered the cabin on the lower level.

This is a kind of trust, a trust similar to “between opponents”.

Honghu believes that Feng Bujue will definitely be able to handle all the related events on the deck, and he doesn’t need to help at all… Therefore, he left that area, so that the efficiency of the team can be maximized.

"This scenario is indeed relatively easy..." After wandering around the deck for more than ten minutes, Honghu also figured out some tricks. "Except for the armory and storage room where people are guarding, other places are basically free to enter and exit; moreover, these pirates are all dressed in very "individual" clothes, and from the appearance... there is nothing conspicuous about our three "players"; under such conditions... there is a lot of room for fish in troubled waters."

While thinking, Honghu has not stopped his investigation; the first step of his plan is to find out the internal structure and basic map of the ship so that he can carry out subsequent actions.

However, when he passed the corridor outside the side door of the "bar" for the second time, suddenly... a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

"This... Brother Glasses..."

It was a man's voice, and it didn't sound particularly distinctive, but Honghu knew that he must have heard this voice in the past, but he just couldn't remember where he heard it for a while.

"Are you... calling me?" Honghu turned his head and asked while looking at the other party.

At this moment, the speaker appeared in Honghu's sight.

This man wore a horizontally striped sweatshirt and a pair of coarse cloth pants with the trouser legs rolled up to the knees. Judging from his appearance, he was probably in his thirties... with a face full of scabies; although he was not very old, he was hunched like an old man and had to rely on a cane to support himself when walking.

"Hehe... there is no one else here, right?" The hunchbacked man smiled and replied.

"So... what do you want?" Honghu responded cautiously.

Because he had already noticed something strange from the slightly incongruous name "Brother Glasses" and began to suspect... that the other party was a much stronger NPC than he looked.

"I..." the hunchbacked man replied slowly, "I just came to say hello to you. By the way... I want to remind you..." He paused for half a second before saying, "Blackbeard already knows that 'you three' got on board."

When these words came out, Honghu was shocked, but he tried his best to remain calm on the surface and asked in a calm tone: "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand."

"You don't have to play dumb with me..." the hunchbacked man said again, "Since I can tell you the number of you and the fact that you got on board, it means that I know much more than you think; of course, you can also think that I 'saw something' or 'heard something'. ', and then came here to cheat you... This is also your freedom. However, I will still tell you clearly what I should tell you..." At this point, he was silent for two seconds, looked around, and then lowered his voice and said to Honghu with a serious face: "At this stage, as far as I know, there should be two people on this ship who know your identity... In addition to me, one is Captain Blackbeard, and the other is Laurent, the guard at the door of the third storage room..." "Wait a minute." Hearing this, Honghu immediately interrupted the other party and asked, "Is the Laurent you mentioned the fat man sleeping in the hammock outside the storage room door?" He was obviously testing this. "Huh..." The next second, the hunchbacked man sneered, "Do you really think... he is sleeping?" This sentence made Honghu's face change. The hunchbacked man keenly caught the change in his expression and then said: "If you want to survive here, you and your two companions must recognize one thing, that is - there are no 'weaklings' on Blackbeard's ship.

Any one of these more than 100 people, even if he is just a 'small fish', must have some extraordinary qualities.

Think about it carefully... Would a character like Blackbeard let a fat man who only knows how to take a nap guard an important storage room? Think about it the other way around... How dare a person who was ordered by Blackbeard to guard the storage room sleep at his post?"

Honghu was speechless and felt ashamed of his carelessness.

"Okay, I'll stop here." The hunchbacked man said, "What to do next, you can decide for yourself. I hope... all three of you can reach Zuimo Island alive."

After that, he leaned on his crutches and prepared to turn around and leave.

"Wait..." Seeing this, Hong Hu hurriedly asked, "Who are you? Why are you helping us?"

At this point, there was no need for him to continue pretending, so he directly asked two very important questions.

"You don't need to know my identity and purpose for the time being." The hunchbacked man did not stop turning around, but just replied softly in a voice that the other party could barely hear, "As for my name..." He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Just call me 'Ken'."

…………

At the same time, above the deck, in the captain's room.

Blackbeard was sitting on a chair...sleeping.

It is not quite accurate to say that he is "sleeping", because he has never really "slept".

Strictly speaking, Blackbeard should be "resting with his eyes closed and dreaming".

This is a very subtle and abnormal state, which ordinary humans cannot experience.

In this state, Blackbeard is even more awake than when he is "awake"; he can listen to "Laurent's" report in the illusory dream, and he can know everything around his body.

This... is Blackbeard's "sleep".

Some people think this is an excellent "ability", but in his own opinion, it is one of the many "curses" he bears.

"Huh..."

Suddenly, in an instant without any signs, Blackbeard sighed and... opened his eyes.

"Not only can he sneak onto my ship without leaving any trace, but he also appears in a place where he can't appear..." After waking up, he began to talk to himself in his rough voice, "Heh... I seem to smell the smell of 'traveler from another world'..." (To be continued.)
