Chapter 5 - The Strange Beginning

The human mind is a natural conspirator, especially when it's trapped, so it finds a way to weave out of the trap maliciously vividly and incisively.

　　Naturally, William will not be an exception. At the moment, all kinds of thoughts were in his mind, the treacherous and insidious wonderfulness of which no one can imagine, Marlin does not even need to say anything, William will be thinking of loopholes in Marlin's trap. He got him Hook Line and Sinker

　　"Does the captain know?"

　　"Of course!" Marlin looked at William and answered simply and concisely.

　　William gasped deeply, fear and panic grabbing at his heart, his eyes almost black, his voice hoarse and weak."How can I seek the captain's forgiveness?"

　　As Marlin rolled his eyes, he said, "Go back and talk to the chief mate immediately."

　"Wait, what?" William was confused.

　　"We were instructed by the captain to quietly kill Bill and Caht and report the incident to Lowe." Marlin said with some impatience: "This is also the captain's plan, you just follow it."

　　"Marlin's words were particularly inciting, and William's face turned paler. He couldn't comprehend the "Captain's Plan", and so became afraid that it was true."Please tell the captain that I will follow your example."

　　Marlin looked away, as if he did not care to continue talking to him.

　Williams lifted up his throat and opened his mouth to speak, but he did not say anything in the end, but instead turned to leave the place quickly, taking a few steps back.

'Heh' Marlin blinked at William' back, disdaining the heart of man.

Whenever the seeds of evil are planted at the correct time, they can fertilize and irrigate themselves, germinate, and grow vigorously. The foul-smelling fruit also includes himself.

　　"Marlin." Nick looked confused, and the expression on his face was weird: "Is it really the captain's order? Then why...

"I am genuinely touched by this IQ. Marlin was almost speechless: "Of course I lied to him."

　　Suddenly, Nick was shaken. He looked completely dumbfounded, and then was very anxious: "You're nuts, then why did you let him tell Lowe, you..."

　　Marlin stared faintly into the woods. An idea came to him just now.

A sly smile spread across his face as he licked his lips and looked at Nick: "The difference is now that William won't speak to captain, but he will inform Lowe privately."

　　Marlin watched Nick, now calm, step slowly in front of Caht, and began touching the body of the other, "If William talks directly to the captain, then we are responsible for Bill and Caht's death." "There is no room for quibbling, because Lowe will inevitably kill us, and, of course, the captain will kill both of us; and if William tells Lowe about this in private, then things will become interesting."

　　Nick shook his head, not understanding the twists and turns, but when he saw the curvature of Marlin's lip he slowly felt relief. "So why not just kill him?" Nick stared suspiciously at Marlin.

　　Marlin took the money bag from Caht's arms, shaking the blood off it, "It's so obvious that we have killed them, but in the eyes of some people, this shit basin is also very appropriate to buckle us. So it is very important who is deducting and how."

A/N: sorry this sentence doesn't make sense, I tried my best to alter the sentence in a way that it would make the most sense, but if I alter it to much then it will not make sense, I am pretty sure that the buckle part is a mis translation on google translates part

　　In the midst of discussing Marlin threw the money bag to Nick, he suddenly asked Nick a very serious question, one that Nick very rarely thought about: "Nick, do you want to be a pirate forever?

"I don't want to spend the rest of my life as a pirate. It has no future in this world." Marlin said to himself before Nick could give an answer.

"This incident is simply an opportunity to escape. All we need is a little preparation time and a handful of insignificant chess pieces," Marlin's eyes staring at

Nick purred as if they didn't care: "This is just a simple way out."

　　A vague, deep and indifferent aura filled Yarlin's eyes as he felt inexplicably terrified by the dark blue pupils. Like the deep blue of the sea at night, the shadow of a dark sky was reflected in the calm sea

　　"Yarlin, what are you planning?"

　　"Hehe~"

　　The sound of laughter, deep and presumptuous, was heard in the rain patter....

'Bill's corpse is missing?' William turned again, staring straight at the pool of black blood under his feet, where Bill's corpse has been cut in half.

　　Obviously, a dead person can't move themselves, but someone has to move them, so who moved bill?

　William stared at the blood streaks under his feet, and he could distinctly see traces of dragging in between the two pools of black blood. He suggested that someone dragged Bill's upper body then took his lower body with them.

　　a policeman would appreciate the strangeness of the scene, but he's not one. There are a few palm prints in the rain around the black blood, and what makes it even more strange is that the missing body is Bill's lower body. Only a line of leaving prints belonging to a single individual were visible from beginning to end, and no incoming prints could be seen in the surrounding area.

　　And the footprints are very shallow, doesn't seem to be carrying the weight of a corpse at all, It seems the corpse rose by itself.

　　William stopped thinking, and quickly followed the traces of footprints. Despite the heavy rain, the direction was discernible.

　　His reason for wanting to look at Bill's corpse was unclear, however, he instinctively felt this matter would be of importance to him.

　　William stood blankly by the seaside since the footprints disappeared on the seashore. He looked to his left and saw the old hull of the Viah pirates from over 200 meters in a straight line.

　　"What about those people?" Or the bodies?

　　What was the meaning of throwing a dead person into the sea? William stared blankly at Bill's pale body beneath the surface of the water and his eyes were covered with blood. He couldn't understand why anyone would do that.

"It cannot be Marlin nor Nick, nor could it be the first mate Lowe. It must be Captain Viah, but why?"

As of the moment William can be certain that what Arlin just said was accurate. Even though 80% of what he had thought previously was true just now, the last trace of doubt was washed down the drain by the cold drink of water.

　　He gazed straight down at the sea as if Bill's corpse were sinking on the seabed just not far away, and captain viahs ship in the distance appeared like a monster with its mouth open.

　　"Bill, I don't want to die!"

　　William's fists were tightly clenched, and a pair of blood-red eyes were full of madness and viciousness.

　　In the sea, a pair of eyeballs stared at him.
