It was noon, and there was a sleepy atmosphere on the boat.
It’s not because Egyptians have the habit of taking a nap, it’s just because last night’s news of “the possibility of a storm” made most Cairo citizens so worried that they didn’t sleep a wink all night. The tired people took advantage of the process of evacuating to seek shelter.
It seems natural to have a chance to rest.
Of course, the locals in Cairo know the details of this [Osprey] - they know that it is a notorious slave ship. Even if it was requisitioned by the Japanese for evacuation work, the nature of this ship has not changed.
, or it could be said that the ugly nature of the crew on this ship has not changed. People who know this will naturally lock the door of their cabin when sleeping to avoid being attacked by the crew and being captured and turned into slaves.
.The only people who left the cabin but didn’t know how to take their luggage with them or lock the door were the two idiots, Elaine and Queeg.
During this period when the passengers were almost sleeping in their cabins and the whole ship was sailing quietly towards the Roman island of Sardinia, there were very few crew members patrolling the corridors.
Elaine planned to take this opportunity to clean up the crew one by one, kill all the dozen or so crew members on the ship, and turn the ship into a "ghost ship" with only passengers and no crew. Being so insulted, he wanted revenge.
, is also a very legitimate thing.
But Queeg didn't think so.
The two of them were hiding in the shadow of the cabin, and saw a crew member walking by in the opposite corridor from a distance. Elaine had already unsheathed his sword, and with the sharp Luna Steel dagger in his hand, it was easy to take off the opponent's head.
But Queeg put his hand on Elaine's shoulder: "I'll do it."
"You? Can you do it?" Elaine said doubtfully. Queeg had clearly been so opposed to Elaine killing people before.
"It's not worth getting your hands dirty for a small role," said Quigg.
Elaine then remained silent, just wanting to see what tricks Queeg could do.
As orcs, the two of them had a very high ability to hide their presence. Hiding in the shadows was like disappearing in vain. Even though they almost passed each other, the crew member still did not notice the existence of Elaine and Queeg.
When the man walked by, Quinn quietly chased after him. He also activated [Void] at the same time, and his body became translucent, and it was even more transparent than the previous [Void].
.
That’s it. Elaine finally understood.
[Virtualization] is nothing more than the ability to move one's body into subspace. Because most of the body is in subspace, and only a very small part remains in the space of the real world, the body will become translucent.
, and is almost immune to all attacks from the real world. But this is not the full effectiveness of [Virtualization].
Most of the body has moved into the subspace, which means that there will be almost no collision between the body and the real world. Queeg, whose whole body is translucent, can barely make a sound when he walks, and the sound of his footsteps is much smaller than the sound of the tide on the sea. Queeg
Like a ghost, he moved silently behind the crew member, and then the blur was released in an instant, and he hit the man on the back of the head with the gun in his hand!
With a dull tapping sound, the crew member lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
The revolver in Queeg's hand is a copy of Bedivere's [Dawn Guardian]. Although it only uses an ordinary photon explosion engine and has not been reinforced with Luna Steel, it is still a
It was an excellent gun that could easily fire double bullets. But Queeg did not kill his opponent with bullets, but just knocked him unconscious with his gun. This could be considered an excessive mercy.
"Why not, don't kill him." While Queeg was busy taking off the sailor's clothes and tying him up, Elaine walked over and asked in a low voice: "These are slaves, slave traders, bad people."
"I know." Queeg took off the sailor's clothes and even stuffed the guy's mouth with a piece of cloth to prevent him from calling out.
He threw the clothes to Elaine: "But, it's not necessary."
"The size is too, too big." Elaine frowned as she looked at the clothes that smelled of sweat.
"It's better than having nothing to wear." Queeg pointed to Elaine's lower body. Not only was Elaine's whole body dirty now, but she was also only wearing the top that Queeg had given him, and only a rag hung on her lower body, which was very embarrassing.
So at least, put on this dirty, ill-fitting clothes.
"You don't have to worry about it," the white lion boy said dissatisfiedly, and hurriedly put on the clothes. However, the sleeves of the clothes were too long, which affected his movement, so he simply cut off his pants and sleeves with a Luna Steel dagger.
, turned into short-sleeved clothes. In this way, although the chest and pants are ridiculously loose, at least it does not affect Elaine's movements. If the pants are too loose, they can be maintained by a belt, so that at least the pants will not slip off easily.
"What should I do with this guy?" Elaine saw the crew member who was knocked unconscious and tied up: "Do you want to throw it into the sea?"
"Stop it..." Queeg said, dumbfounded, "Why do you always want to kill someone?"
He hid the crew member in the shadow of the corridor, which was temporarily solved. The guy couldn't wake up for a while, and even if he woke up, he couldn't move or call his companions, and his companions soon came to him.
Will be killed by Elaine and Queeg.
"Where is the captain's cabin?" Elaine carefully studied the structure of the ship, trying to find the location of the enemy's leader.
"I've been shopping. It should be on the upper floor." Queeg said: "Go forward here, pass the power room, go up the stairs, and pass the lounge, and you can reach it."
Elaine did not respond, but thought about it. There must be someone guarding the power room, and there must be at least two or more people there. It is the heart of the ship, and it cannot be undefended. Queeg, who is not good at fighting, used [Void] to sneak attack,
Is there really a way to kill multiple enemies at the same time? And it’s just a matter of knocking them unconscious without killing them?
Of course, it was very easy for Queeg to knock out the crew member just now, and it was easy to overdo it. It wasn't that Queeg's combat effectiveness was so strong, it was just because the opponent was too weak. Someone who does such a bad job as a slave transporter should at least have some strength.
Right? Even if the crew cannot fight, they should at least hire one or two bodyguards to protect the ship's "cargo".
Under this premise, how far can Queeg's principle of not killing people be maintained? Elaine really wants to see. It would be best to see Queeg make a fool of himself. Then he will go to help (last kill) and kill the damned person.
Kill them all.
Then he could laugh at Queeg. Ridiculing Queeg for his overly peaceful approach would not solve the problem. There are indeed heinous villains in the world. In the face of such villains, to be kind to them is to be cruel to yourself.
A simple ancient like Queeg from four thousand years ago has no idea how cruel the modern world is. Let him learn a lesson.
The two sneaked along the way to the power room, and killed several sailors in the corridor along the way. Just like before, Queeg did not let Elaine kill anyone, but he went over to knock the opponent unconscious with a gun and tied him up.
He even grabbed a sailor suit from one of the shorter crew members that was more suitable for Elaine. Elaine still used a dagger to cut the clothes into short-sleeved shorts and put them on. Those crew members were so dirty.
, neither pay attention to hygiene nor know the importance of washing clothes frequently, so the clothes have a fishy smell and sticky feeling like a tide, as if there is something strange stuck on them that has not been completely dried.
After Ryan put on these clothes, he wanted to take a shower immediately and disinfect his whole body.
Then he suddenly realized that he had become picky?
If it were the former White Bear Elaine, he probably wouldn't have cared about crawling around in the mud. The current White Lion Elaine seems to be unable to stand a little bit of dirt. When her body is dirty, she wants to clean it as soon as possible. Even if
This matter was postponed, and I still thought about washing the dirt off my body. Isn't this the so-called "germophobia"?
His mood does seem to be changing. Maybe it changes with the different transformations. When he turned into a white shark man, his temper also became irritable. But now the white lion man's transformation is obviously a mysophobia. His mood
The changes may be related to the chemicals secreted in the brain, so it makes sense that each transformation has a corresponding state of mind.
Or should we say that each clan of orcs roughly has its own corresponding character traits?
The tiger people are high-spirited and optimistic about fate; the leopard people are cautious and calculating; the werewolves are tenacious and willing to do good... Are these so-called "natures" really just the characteristics buried deep in the genes of each clan?
Perhaps orcs are not as "free" as they imagined. Even the thoughts that pop up in their heads are controlled by genetic factors. Every thought is the result of changes and control of chemical substances in the brain. They are willing to do something.
When doing it, it’s not that they are really happy to do it, it’s just because genetic factors stimulate the secretion of dopamine in the brain, making “they think they are happy”?
Do the orcs really have "freedom" in the true sense? Or is every orc just a puppet on someone's strings, and every action is controlled?
...thinking too much.
Elaine took a peek from behind the door of the power room.
Sure enough, someone is guarding it. There are at least four sailors. Rather than guarding it, it is better to say that they are performing various maintenance and repairs on this dilapidated power furnace to make it work normally. [Osprey] is very
The ship was old, and due to the rush to transport slaves out of Cairo today, the maintenance of the power furnace was naturally neglected.
Before Elaine could say anything, Queeg had already activated [Void] and rushed out like a phantom. Silently, he knocked out the two crew members on the side of the power furnace in an instant, and before others could react, he
He ran directly through the power furnace to the other side and knocked out the remaining people. He didn't know whether it was because Elaine was there that he redoubled his efforts, or because he had gradually become proficient in this kind of ghostly sneak attack.
Quigg easily dispatched his opponent in just one minute.
"Are you okay?" Quigg was busy tying up the two fainted crew members, and at the same time turned to Elaine and asked.
"Alright, not bad." Elaine replied, tying up the other two crew members. In fact, he wasn't quite sure what Queeg meant by "not bad". Was it that Queeg's actions in dealing with the enemy were not bad, or was it that he was doing a good job in dealing with the enemy?
Elaine asked if he needed help. In short, he just answered perfunctorily.
"They are weak. I can handle them all." Queeg then said, "I'll do it. Don't get your hands dirty."
"As long as you like it, that's fine." Elaine said perfunctorily. Queeg always said this, and Elaine felt annoyed after saying it too much.
However, Elaine's "treacherous plot" did not succeed. Not only did Queeg easily kill the four crew members, but he also did not hurt anyone at all - proving that his method of peacefully solving the problem without killing people was feasible.
...So angry. Elaine couldn't help cursing in her heart.
tie.
"Hmm...?" Queeg looked down at his belly in astonishment. Something pierced his belly. A sharp sword stabbed out from the front of his belly, and a dark red color spread on his clothes.
Then the sword tip was immediately withdrawn, and Queeg began to fall forward, exhausted.
"Well... it's dangerous! Run!" He shouted feebly to Elaine.
"Who, who?!" The white lion boy also became alert and asked, raising his weapon.
"Hehehe, we meet again." The slender man who appeared in front of Elaine said with a sharp smile.
