Some time don't worry, some time want to kill.
Zheng He sighed, they all seem to be going crazy.
She picked up a clean towel by the bedside, walked out of the curtain and filled a basin with clean water, gently wiping the blood stain on the face of Lou Qiqi.
Lou Qiqi seemed to be touched as well, closing his eyes along with her gentle touch, allowing her to wipe him clean.
"Old man, don't worry, let's take our time, okay?"
Lou Qiqi's body shuddered slightly, closing his eyes and uttering a hoarse 'good'.
His body had withered to an unrecognizable shape, and when his shirt was pulled open, there was not a single patch of intact skin left, looking as if he had endured great suffering.
Although it was hard to watch, Zheng He still endured the discomfort and cleaned him roughly.
The clean water in the basin turned completely red, gently hitting the copper basin wall with the waves, spreading layer after layer of wet, sticky and foul smell.
【Value of Departure — 10】
【Current Departure Value: 76%】
Zheng He withdrew and gently closed the door.
A monkey peered in with its head poking out, and Zheng He narrowed his eyes, waving at it.
The monkey's body tensed up, but it dared not delay, running over quickly, "Big... Big Sister."
"Have you regained your sight?"
The monkey patted his head, "Thanks to Big Sister's sharp eyes, we caught two silver fish, and after eating the fish eyes, it worked."
"Big Sister is wise..."
He was about to slap some more horse manure on Zheng He's ass when Zheng He cut him off.
Zheng He furrowed her brow, her chin pointing towards Lu Qiqi's room, "How is it that there's no one to serve the old man here?"
That's not a ordinary old man!
That's the old unkillable!
The monkey scratched his head, daring not to contradict, "Big Sister, you've forgotten..."
He quickly changed his words, "The captain doesn't like people to serve him close up, we just put the medicine by the door, he will take it out himself."
The captain was in poor health and bedridden for years, the only ones who could see him were Zheng He and old Wen.
Leaving the medicine at the door?
Could Lu Qiqi, with his poor body condition, get out of bed to take the medicine and drink it?
Think about the scene of Lu Qiqi with his tail dragging down from the bed, and then stepping out to get medicine. It's like shooting a horror movie, and it's quite sickening.
Zheng He sized up the particularly compliant man in front of her.
He looked very obedient, and whenever he saw himself, he would be as scared as a mouse seeing a cat, with his whole body bristling.
Is he one of the murderers?
"Who told you to only give him the medicine? There's not even a cup of water in his room. From now on, put some food and drinks outside his door every day, along with a bucket of clean water. Whether he takes them or not, you must give them to him. Understand?"
The monkey looked hesitant, "Big Sister, before, this job was handled by Guangxia, he went somewhere now..."
The captain's room was gloomy and devoid of any light, with an eerie scent that no one wanted to approach.
Only a new crew member like Guangxia would be assigned to deliver things.
"Then go yourself."
Zheng He looked at him with a half-smile and half-frown, "I think you're better than Guangxia. You can certainly serve the old man happily, right?"
The monkey's face turned pale, and in front of Zheng He, he could only grit his teeth and nod, accepting the task.
He only regretted that he ran so slowly, getting caught by the evil spirit.
It's all Old Wen's fault for making him come and see the situation here!
He could only accept his misfortune.
Zheng He watched as the monkey dragged a bucket of clean water over.
【Value of Departure — 1】
【Current Departure Value: 75%】
【Has there been a change?】
Zheng He is still not clear about what the departure value is.
Could it be because she ordered the monkey to do some work?
If it were the original owner, what would she do?
Zheng He grew up on a ship, following Lu Qiqi to travel south and north, and in her vague memories, there were many instances of the original owner giving orders with an air of superiority.
It can be speculated that the more Zheng He behaves like the original owner, the lower her departure value will be. Conversely, when she shows qualities different from the original owner, her departure value will increase accordingly.
Departure, is it really about departing from this world?
The departure value first changed when she was putting on shoes for Zheng Dangwu, something the original owner would never do, so the departure value increased.
The second instance was when Guangxia brought her food, and she really didn't want to eat the gooey things, so she refused Guangxia. As a result, the departure value increased by 10 points.
Would the original owner accept such food?
It's just not eating. Does it really matter that much?
Zheng He was puzzled.
After punishing the crew, serving fish head soup to the crew, bathing Lu Qiqi, and now making the monkey work, there have been changes in the departure value.
So the original owner would punish the crew, command them to work, and serve Lu Qiqi. However, she wouldn't share food with the crew?
What is this contradiction of a domineering captain's character?
As long as she acts opposite to the original owner, she can increase the departure value.
Zheng Dangwu's departure value is only 1%.
She can't leave by herself and leave Zheng Dangwu in this unfamiliar and eerie world without any acquaintances.
She needs to act similarly to the original owner and follow the original owner's behavioral logic to try and lower the departure value.
Thinking of this, Zheng He suddenly called out to the monkey.
"Put it down, let me help you."
At her words, the monkey looked up at her in confusion.
【Value of Departure +1】
【Current Departure Value: 76%】
Indeed.
Zheng He glared at him in a harsh voice, "Watch what you're looking at! Do you really think I'll help you!"
【Value of Departure — 1】
【Current Departure Value: 75%】
The monkey shivered and quickly lowered his head to continue working.
He couldn't help but feel a mix of sadness and resentment in his heart.
Fickle and capricious, playing with people's hearts.
Evil spirits! It's truly an evil spirit!
"By the way, where's Old Wen?"
The monkey's body jumped, and he shouted loudly, "The control room!"
————————————————————
The charred body in the control room had been cleaned up, everything had been meticulously wiped down, and all traces of the painful cries and the scorch marks from the fiery burn had been cleared away.
Of course, Old Wen wouldn't do such work. He was the first mate, and when Zheng He wasn't around, he was responsible for the overall operation of the Jiaomu Jiao.
The Jiaomu Jiao's formation allows it to achieve automatic driving within a certain range, but the formation driving requires spiritual force. To conserve spiritual force, human intervention is still occasionally required to adjust the direction.
Old Wen sat on the helm, listening intently to the sound of the Jiaomu Jiao pushing through the waves.
No matter what he has experienced, sailing on the sea can make him completely forget this barren land, forget the cries and screams.
He suddenly remembered the old man half alive and half dead, and staying with him was like having the most awful nightmare.
Old Wen's expression tightened. Why had he suddenly thought of that old man?
A strange and eerie smell suddenly wafted past his nose, a smell that was unforgettable.
Old Wen's heart sank, and he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He reached out to grab the crude knife by his side.
Someone was behind him.
