In the end, how the survivors survived is self-evident.

They found the source of food, and they also provoked the original sin that they should not have provoked.

But Nie Yuan didn't know why Walter told his three outsiders the whole situation at that time.

He asked, "Why are you giving us so much detail?"

Buck answered for Walter. He put down his smoking bottle, looked at the sailor who was already crazy, and said, "You are not a survivor, are you? At least not all of them."

"right!"

Walter responded very readily this time, saying: "I, I didn't hold on, and later I found out that each of them seemed to be hiding things from me, including my little Frank!

So they had more physical strength than me, to hold out until the last moment, when endless tiredness came over me and sleepiness wrapped around me like a tide.

The sea breeze was not bitter, on the contrary, it was softer than usual, but it blew so much that I couldn't open my eyes, and it was so dry that I felt like I had a handful of sand in my eyes.

My tears kept falling, maybe because of the unbearable dryness, maybe because of the nostalgia for life, and the fear of death...

I thought, just close my eyes, close my eyes, let me rest for a few seconds, and shake the dryness and sleepiness out of my body completely.

but……

I'm so sleepy.

I can't control my body anymore.

Maybe the moment I closed my eyes, I knew my end.

Yes, I fell asleep.

I am, the sacrificed ration! "

At this point, Walter no longer hides anything.

In the blink of an eye, his body changed.

The strong fishy smell of the sea rushes toward the face, making people want to hold their breath, the stench is really outrageous.

The sea water spewed out from all over Walter's body, poured down, wet the ground, and made the fire make a "sizzling" sound, and finally went out completely.

He has changed his face, and he can't see any appearance just now.

It was as if the head had been soaked in sea water for several months. It was huge and ugly, but strangely it didn't rot.

The body below the head has been completely hollowed out, leaving only the skeleton and the broken skin.

On this skeleton, in addition to the few remaining strands of meat, there are actually corals, barnacles and other things, which are tightly attached to it.

Walter, who had completely revealed his true appearance, used his extremely ugly, mung bean-like eyes that could not be opened under his swollen eyelids, looked at Buck, his voice was stern and ethereal, and said:

"Old man, you already found me, right?"

Buck didn't hide it either, nodded quietly, and said:

"right."

"I just, just want to seek revenge on Frank, from the bottom of the sea, step by step, to the mouth of the sea, and from the bottom of the river, step by step, step by step to get here! You are ignorant and fearless. rations!"

"Fool."

These words were said by Nancy, and instantly broke the terrifying atmosphere that should have existed.

Walter looked at the little girl suddenly, and said: "There are many children who don't grow up, the reason is that they die before they grow up!"

ho!

As soon as the voice fell, the strong stench on Walter's body rushed towards Nancy!

At this moment, it seems that people can see the hallucination of shaking the sky, sweeping the turbulent, and completely burying people in it.

But this kind of treacherous arrogance, before Nancy was completely swallowed up, the monster phantom that suddenly appeared on Nancy's body suddenly roared away!

Roar! !

Like a wild beast, it roared violently in the mountains and forests, causing birds and beasts to scatter.

Walter was stunned, unable to speak for a while, he seemed unable to figure out why this happened.

Nie Yuan finally opened his mouth and said, "Sure enough, even alien monsters with intelligence do not have normal IQ."

Buck was also always calm, nodding: "It's usually like this, under special circumstances, especially when they are provoked, their cognition will have problems, and their minds are covered by madness. It is because of this that humans and monsters, except for extreme With few exceptions, peaceful coexistence is basically impossible.

Going a step further, it will evolve into a source of infection, perhaps after finding that Frank, achieving revenge, and completing Obsession. "

The two seemed to be talking about an extremely common thing, and they didn't panic because of the scene in front of them.

Looking at Walter, it was like a market guest commenting on a piece of fresh pork.

If monsters can always maintain normal people's thinking, they should have discovered something wrong.

How can there be an ordinary person who still looks nonchalant when faced with such a scene.

However, the angered Walter had already developed a cognitive bias, and he could not have imagined that there were other meanings behind the abnormal attitude of the three of them.

That's why he chose to ignore it and attack Nancy directly, which is why Nancy said he was a fool.

But after being downplayed to resolve the attack, he froze in place.

"You...what are you?"

The coral on Walter's body fell, and the breath of the alien monster became stronger, and the seawater gurgled out of his body faster, as if he was liberating his own power.

And in the process, he asked Nie Yuan his soul question.

Seeing this situation, Nie Yuan also felt the abnormal cognition of alien monsters. He didn't even have the heart of fear, and he still wanted to compete with himself and others.

"Walter."

Nie Yuan said quietly: "Thank you for your warning. I think we will be at sea in the future and encounter a situation where there is no food, and we all know that we can't fall asleep, but the difference from you is..."

Walter's ugly little eyes looked at Nie Yuan with puzzlement, waiting for his next words.

The aura on Nie Yuan's body also changed, becoming deep and ancient, he said seriously: "Unlike you, we can stay up late one by one."

A wisp of black feathers emerged from behind him.

Like the phantom projected by Nancy, Walter's final outcome was finalized.

...

in a nearby town.

Hei Nie Yuan, who was wearing the mask of the gorilla moon, was swaying slowly.

His unique style also attracted a lot of attention. The sheriff in the town also came up to him to ask questions.

However, the vigilant attitude disappeared when Hei Nieyuan took out the official certificate.

With a servant of Asef's level, it is of course easy for Hei Nieyuan to acquire a status that can scare the local sheriff.

Not long ago, he sensed the main body in front of him, stayed outside the town, did not continue to move, and did not enter the town.

Although he didn't know why, he naturally couldn't shake the idea of ​​his body, so he simply came to this town for a walk.

front.

A group of six or seven people ushered in.

They are all residents of the town, and they are also a group of young people.

Like other townspeople, they also cast a surprised look at the masked Hei Nie Yuan.

However, they kept their distance and did not come forward to provoke them. Young people are more accepting of such "performance artists" than the elderly.

Hei Nieyuan was inexplicably touched when he was looking at him in one of them.

As if he didn't notice any abnormality, he still walked forward, but he paid attention to the young man who gave him special senses.

It can be seen that the man has a high status in the eyes of other young people, and everyone is either crowding around him or walking behind him, and they are especially complimented when they speak.

"Brother Frank, can you hear the roar from outside the town just now, what kind of beast?" Someone asked.

Frank, who was walking in front, smiled and shook his head, and said, "I'm not a hunter, so I can't hear it, but don't worry, beasts usually don't dare to enter the town easily. Tomorrow morning, the sheriff and the others should go to the woods. Sweep through."

"Just lock the door at night."

Someone spoke again and said, "If you ask Brother Frank about sea creatures, he will definitely answer, but there are so many wild beasts in the wilderness, and the hunters can't tell many of them just by the sound."

"I'm just asking casually..."

The man said, and then said, "Brother Frank, do you think I can pass the sailor interview? I think I should be no worse than Walter. I want to wait two months and be the same as you, go to the sea to take risks and make some money. return."

This intrigued others too.

Someone complained: "I went there before, but the sailor interview was really strict, no ship wanted me, but I don't know why Walter was able to pass the interview, alas, sometimes it depends on luck."

Someone else said: "I haven't been there yet, but since even Walter can pass the interview, I think I have a chance, and the same goes for those of you who have been there. Let's try it together in two months. Bar?"

Listening to everyone's discussion, the smile on Frank's face subsided.

He glanced at everyone with a serious expression, and said, "The interview of sailors is not as strict as imagined, but we lack a lot of things compared to young people in other big cities.

This is not to blame for you. After all, not everyone has access to good educational resources from an early age. The physical quality of being a sailor is not the most important thing, but the knowledge you have.

In the big cities, young people go on boats to become sailors, and it's just a poor choice.

And don't think of the sea too softly. Many times, it is more like a monster that will devour you. Everyone on board can be seen as fighting against it every moment.

And this, compared with those ocean-going ships and fishing and hunting ships, is not a real adventure at all, because with our qualifications, we can only board offshore trading ships at most. "

Someone heard the words but muttered: "But luck is really important, we are not afraid of exchanging our lives for money, but we lack this opportunity. I heard that some people were directly recruited on board because they looked very similar to the first mate's son.

There are also people who amused the interviewer because they are very good at telling jokes, and were directly recruited..."

Someone echoed: "Yeah, not everyone is as capable as Brother Frank, and he applied for the ship by virtue of his strength. Just like Walter, he was lucky..."

"All right!"

Frank interrupted him directly, his expression even more gloomy, and said: "Walter is dead, do you still think he is lucky? And he saved me and others at the time, and died for it, I am always grateful His only regret was that he could not bring his body back for burial.

Because he has been eaten beyond recognition by the monsters in the sea... and at that time, we can't protect ourselves.

His ability is just invisible to you. Don't doubt the interviewer's vision, because everyone who is recruited must make the interviewer and the first officer feel trustworthy.

At sea, everyone's lives are tied to a rope. Do you really think it's just luck?

Yes, I also know that some people boarded the boat and became a sailor by virtue of their ability to tell jokes, even if such a person is not worth mentioning in your eyes, or even the object of bullying.

But at sea, a person who can activate the atmosphere is very rare, because the daily mental state of sailors is very important. "

There are idiots who can't detect the abnormal atmosphere, and they are still there:

"Well, we have to admit, it's not all luck, but luck does exist, and there are countless examples out there...

Brother Frank, we just think it's absurd that we can get on the boat because we can tell jokes. Isn't the sincerity of us sleeping in the wind so far away from a few jokes?

So why not hand out a joke book to the sailors each. "

Frank turned his head, stared at him seriously, and said, "Now, immediately, immediately, tell us three jokes and make us laugh."

"me……"

The man was in a hurry, and in the face of Frank's pressure, he stuttered for a while.

But he still racked his brains and tried to tell: "From, there was once a king, the king had a daughter, the princess...the princess she..."

"All right."

Frank walked forward and said, "You don't have to tell it anymore, even if it's really a funny story, I think if you tell it like this, no one will laugh, and even if you laugh, it's because of your performance. ."

"But……"

The man chased after him in dissatisfaction and said, "But I'm not ready. If you give me more time to prepare, it will definitely not be like this."

Frank didn't turn his head and said, "Do you think the interviewer will give you the time to prepare? The interviewers on each ship are different, and the questions they ask and the attitude they show are also different.

More, you need to improvise, even if it's just a few jokes, he only observes your state when you face him.

Just like the legendary sage who was hit in the head by a pear and realized the shocking formula.

Is it the pears that matter? No, that story may have been casually compiled by him to make you memorize that formula. What matters is himself.

If you are so nervous that you will stutter even if you are giving impromptu speeches in public, you should not rush to the interview. If you want to make a name for yourself in a big city, you should reflect on yourself first.

Because for poor children like us who have no skills or academic knowledge, we can only get opportunities by 'tell jokes', we have to speak and act.

Otherwise, why would others recruit a person without any skills to board the ship?

Either recognize the status quo, accept mediocrity, or try to change.

Being a sailor is not that easy.

Also, don't look down on Walter anymore, he is the benefactor I will remember deeply! "

This time, everyone felt Brother Frank's anger.

Although they didn't know where this anger came from, no one was ignorant and tried to shake their wits.

They were stunned when they were savoring Big Brother Frank's words.

After all, for young people who want to show their ambitions, it is more uncomfortable for them to accept their mediocrity and admit their incompetence than to kill them.

A group of people silently followed behind Frank like a concubine.

Presumably in the future, no one will ridicule Walter, the smart ghost who was despised by them, in front of Frank.

Shadow Nie Yuan watched this scene quietly.

After they were far away, they lingered in their hearts, should we follow up and see what kind of unknown qualities that Frank had.

But before he could make a decision, someone helped him choose.

Shadow Nie Yuan sensed something, and no longer cared about Frank, but chose to walk out of the town from another path.

Because the body has come.

Exactly in the direction where you are.

But it's unlikely that the goal is yourself.

It should be for that Frank.

as expected.

About five minutes later ~lightnovelpub.net~ was very complicated. Frank, who forcibly suppressed a certain trait of himself, got rid of the little ghosts in the town and returned to the house alone.

But what he didn't realize was that someone came in with him, from the other side of the room.

When he closed the door, turned on the light, and was about to take off his shoes, his heart jumped.

Suddenly he looked behind him.

A face that Frank never wanted to see appeared on the table.

Or a head.

But there was only the head. The devastated body that had been eaten by himself and the other two crew members didn't know where it went.

Walter!

Walter with a swollen head!

Just like this quietly placed on the table, staring straight at himself, lifeless!
