"After our investigation, it is basically certain that Mr. Zhao Jie's disappearance was most likely due to his accidental fall into the water on the deck last night. We once again remind all passengers that for your safety, please do not go on the deck at night.

Feel free to move around.”

Soon, the crew members of the Astrologis issued an official announcement stating that it was just an accident, which calmed the nervous passengers a little.

Most people were just making a false alarm, it was not just that there were dangerous people on the ship, but some people were talking about it and pointed the finger at Mei Ji, the astrology girl, thinking that she was the person who brought about the unknown.

After all, Zhao Jie was the only one who extended a helping hand to Mei Ji yesterday, but as a result, today's outcome turned out to be like this.

The calls for Mei Ji to be imprisoned are getting louder and louder. The sailor samurai in charge of security, forced by everyone's strong request, can only issue a notice to the astrology girl. Before arriving at Thousand Islands today, she must be placed under house arrest in her room. She is not allowed to

come out.

In this regard, Mei Ji did not resist at all, or rather, the current astrology girl was completely confused.

While Meiji was being escorted away by the samurai on the ship, the wolf cub heard the trembling voice mumbling to herself in the girl's mouth.

"Why... I obviously succeeded in changing my destiny for the first time, but the result was..."

"Could it be...could it be that fate really shouldn't interfere..."

"If I hadn't suggested him to go to the bottom warehouse yesterday...if..."

Liao Zixuan could see the painful look on Mei Ji's face, and combined with the words from the girl's mouth, all clues showed that Zhao Jie's disappearance did not seem to be that simple, but the attitude of the samurai on the ship was very abnormal, as if he was going there deliberately.

To cover up something, they didn't even interrogate Mei Ji, who was highly suspected.

In addition... With such a big thing happening, the little wolf cub looked around, but he did not see the figure of Luzi, the current top manager of the Astorogis.

etc.

Liao Zixuan suddenly thought that in his "second" experience, Zhao once told him that Luzi had brought in a large amount of goods during his stay at Akabane Port, and the reason why Zhao Jie wanted to get close to Vivian was,

That is, to find out what this batch of goods is, so that I can follow the trend and buy it and make a lot of money.

Combined with what Mei Ji said to herself just now, she suggested that Zhao Jie go to the warehouse on the bottom floor...

Could it be that Zhao Jie really discovered something in the warehouse on the ground floor last night, which led to the "disappearance"?

Something's not quite right...

After this appearance, the number of passengers on the deck suddenly decreased. After hesitating thoughtfully, the little wolf cub finally did not choose to return to the door of Vivian's room and continue to squat. Instead, he set off towards the Astologis.

Go to the bottom.

Today is already the third day of the voyage, and it is also the last day. Maybe they can arrive at Thousand Islands in the afternoon, and naturally there will be no night, so he doesn't have to worry about triggering the "night attack" plot, and based on his experience in the first two days

It seems that as long as Vivian doesn't go out, everything will be fine. His guarding is actually a bit redundant.

So taking advantage of the last half day, Liao Zixuan decided to do a little investigation.

When the little wolf cub arrived, he found that the cargo passage leading to the bottom of the cabin had been blocked, and was strictly guarded by three or four crew members.

In desperation, the little wolf cub could only choose another way, going to the bottom of the cabin, where the coolies lived.

Squeak...squeak...

The old and cracked floor made a shaky and cracking sound when the little wolf cub stepped on it. It was not that the little wolf cub was heavy, but that the wood here was really bad, extremely damp, and most of it was corroded.

The bottom floor of the ship's hold was originally a cargo hold, but a small space was forcibly opened up for loading coolies.

Yes, the little wolf cub chose to use the word "loading" to describe it after he actually arrived here.

Because as long as you have seen what this place looks like, you will never say that this is a place where you can "live".

The first is the light, which is extremely dim. Only the faint light coming from the first floor through the cracks in the ceiling prevents the place from being completely enveloped in darkness.

Secondly...

The little wolf cub waved his paw in front of his nose. He had just taken a few steps inside when a smell that hit his face had already surrounded him.

Because it is a cargo cabin modification, there are of course no windows here, let alone ventilation and air flow.

Even if it is a normal room, if it is not ventilated for a few days, the smell will be very strong inside the room, let alone the bottom warehouse where the coolies are loaded.

After a tiring day, the smell of sweat stains all over the body, the rotten smell of leftover food, and the musty smell covered with moss stains. After these various smells are mixed together, they finally form this kind of smell, which makes it almost difficult to stay and take a few breaths.

You will feel dizzy and dizzy.

Not to mention, there is this damn swaying feeling of the sea water. It seems that the "Heart of the Sea" power of the Astorogis only takes care of the top three layers, and the bottom layer is not within its protection range.

No wonder...

Liao Zixuan recalled that during the "first" experience, Zhao Jie mentioned this place to them. At that time, he described it as like a pigsty, not a place for people to stay at all.

It can be seen from the mental state of the coolies around them that most of them are very depressed, with no light in their eyes. They are thin and in tatters. They only respond when their names are called by the overseer warriors who come down from the first floor.

, only then did he wake up from the sluggishness and start moving mechanically.

But even so, the overseer samurai will use these lowest-level coolies as sandbags to vent their temper. If they make a slight mistake or make the overseer unhappy, they may starve for a whole day.

no way.

In fact, from the living conditions of the people at the bottom of each country, we can see the degree of governance of the country's gods. It is obvious that even a ship of this level, the Astorogis, has such a shadow corner. Then

You can imagine the entire Thousand Islands.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Alas...

Shaking his head and sighing, the little wolf cub also walked to the end of the coolie activity area, which was connected to the cargo hold.

As you can see, this place is also sealed as expected, but compared to the main road, there are no handles for the crew samurai. After all, no samurai can bear to stand guard in such an environment.

Even the sealing method was very perfunctory. They just blocked the passage with a few wooden boards, hammered in some nails, and that was it.

The gap in the sealing board is definitely not fit for a human size, but for a wolf cub.

It's not a difficult thing.

The little wolf cub had just bent its hind limbs slightly and made a gesture to prepare to jump. However, a second later, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind, stopped the little wolf cub's body midway as it was about to take off, and picked it up.

"You can't go there."

A hoarse female voice sounded.

It is not difficult to tell that the owner of the voice is actually not very old. It is only because of an injury to his throat that the timbre is distorted.

As for such a unique sound, the little wolf cub had only heard it made by one person on the ship.

He turned around sharply.

What appeared in the little wolf cub's field of vision was a face covered with bandages, and the only eye exposed to the little wolf cub now was...

care?

Because of this, when the little wolf cub noticed someone approaching from behind, he immediately restrained himself. His instinctive stress reaction allowed him to let the other person hug him.

And corresponding to An Yan at this moment...

It was this little gray-haired puppy that was held high by her hands and looked like it had been hungry for countless days. It was listless and had gray hair. It didn't struggle or resist, and just followed her...

Mengmeng looked at each other.

"You want to find something to eat, right?"

An subconsciously, and she didn't even know why, hugged the little wolf cub that she accidentally encountered in her arms.

She poked the cub's nose with her finger.

"Remember from now on, the boxes over there are all sealed wooden boxes and there won't be anything to eat. If you get lost in there and can't get out, you will starve to death inside!"

"Besides, I don't know what happened there last night. It seemed like there was a thief. As a result, someone came in the middle of the night and sealed our area. In short, it is very dangerous there. You are not allowed to go there in the future. Do you understand?"

An was very serious in teaching this little puppy that was running around randomly.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she shook her head, wondering what was wrong with her and why she was talking so much. How could a stray puppy on a boat understand her words?

Or...

Are you so lonely that you have to talk to a stray puppy and can't help but talk?

After thinking of this, An's eyes dimmed a bit.

However, before An An could finish laughing at herself, the next second, her eyes widened and the light lit up again. Although her face was wrapped with a bandage, she could still see that the other person's small mouth was covered under the bandage.

Open wide.

Because An only saw...

The puppy in her arms turned out to be...

He nodded gracefully!?

In the little puppy's eyes, An could even see an expression of "I know I was wrong, thank you!"?

After a few seconds of shock.

It was as if I had discovered a new continent.

"You...can you understand me?"

An's eyes flashed with excitement. She took the little wolf cub's front paws out of her arms and lifted it up high. She kept looking left and right, full of excitement and novelty.

And the little wolf cub...
