Ren gave the order, and everyone on the ship, including Haft, could only obey.
The team continued to maintain its previous formation, with Haft at the front, Wald slightly behind, and the others followed one after another.
As for Renn, he told everyone that he wanted to observe everyone's situation, so he fell at the end of the team.
The whole ship is not very big. In addition to the outer deck, there are two floors below. The upper floor is where everyone eats and lives. The bottom floor is mostly empty. There is only a warehouse and two small
empty room.
The bodies of the two previous deceased persons, Captain Dam and a female team member named Ina, were placed in two empty rooms on the ground floor.
So everyone had to go from the captain's cabin on the deck to the bottom.
On the way, Haft was still worried about the armored weirdo investigating them. He slowed down a little and allowed himself to walk side by side with Walder.
Then he lowered his voice and said to Walder: "Walder, what are you thinking? We can't trust a wanted criminal! He said he was not a murderer, and that was just what he said. He may have killed dozens of people.
The culprit. Would you rather believe him than me?"
Walder's face was a little stiff, because he was indeed more willing to believe in the armored monster than Haft.
Although in terms of status, Haft is the honorable captain of the guard in the country, while the armored weirdo is a notorious wanted criminal. One is respected by everyone, and the other is despised.
But the situation is different now. Three people died on the ship. It seems that the people in the team are the most suspected. On the contrary, the armored weirdo is the least suspected, and even Haft is more suspected than him.
Moreover......
Walder showed a troubled expression: "Haft, it's not that I don't believe you, but that armored weirdo is right. He has the biggest fist, so we can only listen to him. If we disobey him, who knows what will happen.
?"
"Then do you believe that he will really uphold justice? What if he slanders one of us randomly?"
"he and I......."
Walder simply didn't know how to answer this question.
If the armored monster randomly identifies someone as the murderer, what else can he do?
If you agree with him, what kind of punishment will the identified person receive?
If you disagree with him, will he get angry and attack everyone?
Haft continued to ask: "Even so, do you still choose to believe in the armored weirdo?"
Walder was confused. The current situation is:
He wants to believe Haft, but Haft may not be worthy of his trust.
He didn't want to and couldn't believe the weirdo in armor, but the weirdo in armor might be the most trustworthy.
So he kicked the ball back to Haft: "Haft, tell me what to do."
Seeing that Walder was finally persuaded by him, Haft felt reassured.
"My idea is that we should first see what the armored weirdo wants to do later. As long as it is not too outrageous, we should do it. After all, he is a dangerous person. However, if he wants to accuse our people without any evidence,
murderer, then we must stand up against it."
"But disobeying him..."
Haft gritted his teeth and said: "Even if you die, you must oppose it! Walder, think about it, if you were the one who was wronged and everyone else remained silent, would you feel better?"
Wald lowered his head. After a while, he raised his head again and looked at Haft and said, "Okay! I listen to you. I am the team leader and cannot let my team members be framed! If you are framed, Haft, I
I will definitely stand up and oppose it!”
"Yes, we should unite as one!"
.......
After all, it was just a small boat. Although the two leading people took their time along the way, after four or five minutes of walking, everyone finally reached the bilge.
It's not that Renn didn't notice Haft and Haft whispering in front of him, but he just didn't bother to care. He stayed at the back to learn about what happened before with a soldier.
This official expedition team has always had smooth sailing in the early stages of the expedition. They successfully found a lost underwater city.
However, just three days ago, the situation was different.
First, a female member of the expedition named Ina was found dead on the deck after dinner. The cause of death was a heavy blow to the head.
The person who discovered the body was Captain Dam. At that time, many people suspected that he was the murderer. Unexpectedly, Dam was found dead in his room the next morning.
Everyone was scared, and Walder asked to return to the ship immediately, but the sailor told him that the rudder and other equipment in the captain's cabin had been destroyed at some point and were completely inoperable.
In other words, everyone can only passively wait for rescue when there is a murderer on board.
After discussing countermeasures with Haft, Walder decided to terminate the exploration of the ruins. Everyone should stay together and wait for rescue with peace of mind.
Originally, what Wald meant was that you should not eat or sleep alone. Everyone should eat together. When sleeping, they should form separate groups, with two or three people sharing a room.
But many people objected. The members of the expedition team and the sailors on the ship all wanted to live with Haft and others because he was the strongest.
As for the other people, they might be the murderers.
No matter how familiar they were before, no one wants to trust the people around them now. Who knows if they will do something at night.
So this suggestion was rejected. In the end, everyone had to lock the door at night and sleep in their own way.
During the day, a group of people sit in the dining room in a daze.
But what people didn't expect was that even so, there was still no way to avoid death.
This morning, when the agreed time to gather in the dining room came, Aikman, the deputy of the expedition team, still did not come, so everyone decided to go looking for him together, and that was what Ren saw.
