Blackstone Code

"Mr. Lynch..."

As soon as the female manager entered the room, she knelt on the ground with a guilty look on her face, "On behalf of me, I would like to express our most sincere apologies to you and your female companion at all times!"

She bent over and lowered her head, placing her head on the carpet in the cabin.

Anyone who is not a fool can feel that something out of control is happening with what is happening on the ship these days.

Because this is on a ship and not everyone's home court, most of the wealthy people in the Federation still stay in their rooms and have their food, drinks, and toilets delivered to them.

This makes it easier for the captain to control and manage the ship, but it also adds tremendous pressure to everyone in the silent process.

Stress is probably similar to "bearing it for a while and getting more and more angry". If it is not vented at the beginning, it will easily form an internal high-pressure environment.

People were unwilling and afraid to leave the "small" cabin casually, which caused the pressure to increase rapidly, which led to the explosion of a young man today.

His outburst became an outlet for others' stress and emotions. From the content of his conversation with the first mate, many people got a similar answer.

Now that the ship is under control and speeding up its journey, everyone is relieved by this clear direction.

Immediately afterwards, they sent their respective account managers to calm people's emotions.

Looking at the female manager Lynch who was kneeling on the ground, it was as if he had forgotten to ask her to get up, "How long until we dock?"

Without Lynch's call, the female manager did not dare to get up casually, "We will arrive at the scheduled location in less than three days."

Lynch quickly added and subtracted in his mind, "Our trip has doubled as planned. I remember that the original plan was half a month."

"Yes, Mr. Lynch."

"Since when did you start accelerating?"

This question made the female manager a little confused. Shouldn't he be more worried about his own safety? Why would he ask such a meaningless question as "when will we start adding?"

However, the captain asked them to appease the guests' emotions, and the female manager still answered honestly, "About four to five days ago."

"So we have actually arrived at the northwestmost sea area of ​​​​the Federation?" In an instant, a map and nautical chart of the Federation appeared in front of Lynch's eyes, and he frowned slightly.

He didn't expect that the captain was like a fucking fertilized rabbit, running all the way without stopping. This might also prevent the sergeant from finding them, which would not reflect the value of the aircraft.

But fortunately, the stocks every moment will give him some compensation.

If they did not speed up or speed up slightly, they should still be on the west coast now. The sergeant should be looking for him with the plane, but now they are further northwest, which is not a good place.

I don’t know if the plane can be found...

Lin Qi thought about it for a long time. The female manager kept prostrate on the ground, her forehead pressed against the carpet. She didn't know what Lin Qi was thinking, and she didn't dare to raise her head.

The situation on the ship is very tense now, and it is no exaggeration to say that people will die if they are not careful. The warlords in Marillo kill entire families at every turn. Under such a terrifying and high-pressure rule, ordinary people do not dare to mess around.

Penny's expression sitting aside became a little frightened. Deep in her heart, she always told herself that maybe the situation was not as bad as Lynch imagined.

Now that the female manager has come to apologize, it is equivalent to confirming what Lynch said. For a girl, this is indeed a bit beyond her ability to bear.

After about twenty or thirty seconds, Lynch came back to his senses and asked, "Last question, where does the danger come from?"

Before the female manager came here, the captain and first mate had actually met with them and told them that they could tell the truth to every guest.

Being targeted by pirates is particularly normal at this time. Without the ability to capture radio silent targets beyond visual range, pirates have always been the main cause of shipping losses.

It's just that they didn't expect that the pirates would actually get on the ship, and there would be more than one person, and these people were also involved in the forces on Marillo's side. This was not an isolated and simple matter.

They can talk about the main part, but there are also some things that are not allowed to be disclosed. For example, the captain speculates that someone may want to hijack the cruise ship as a way to fight against the warlord group and every moment.

Their purpose is not simply to hijack rich people and ask for ransom. This means that everyone is always involved with the warlords behind them. It is conceivable that when they get out of trouble, they will become "increasingly angry". .

Reveal what can be revealed, what cannot be revealed, not a word can be said.

The female manager quickly told the whole story, and Lynch found some loopholes in it, but he did not delve into it.

It was enough to know where the danger came from. He felt the body of the girl holding his waist behind him shaking all the time. He glanced at the female manager kneeling on the ground, and after a few seconds of silence, he said softly with a smile on his face, "Undress……"

The female manager took a deep breath, and then took off all her clothes without any hesitation...

Lynch read a book, a philosophy book called "The Best Way to Face Fear."

It sounds a bit nonsense, like a book written by some unscrupulous authors specifically to defraud money. At that time, the Internet was not very popular, and physical bookstores did not allow you to read books casually like later.

When people go to a bookstore to buy books, they probably go to the salesperson at the counter, tell the name of the book they want, and then the salesperson takes out the book.

Take a few glances and decide that you want it, then pay for it, or put the book down for another one.

There is no more time to read carefully. If the salesperson moves a little slowly, the salesperson will ask the customer to get out of the way.

So at that time, there were many magazines and newspapers whose content was to introduce other books to readers. It sounds a bit...unbelievable, but it just existed.

They would excerpt part of the content from various books and publish it, plus comments from celebrities and editors. This was the earliest recommendation publication.

People feel that the excerpt suits their taste, so they go to the bookstore and buy the book, but not every time they can buy what they like.

There is a very interesting point in the book "The Best Way to Face Fear". Its author believes that stimulation from the senses that is stronger than fear can help people overcome fear.

For example, with extreme anger, you can take the initiative even in the face of things you are afraid of.

Another example: ultimate happiness.

All day long, the three of them were immersed in extreme happiness. By the evening, everyone was too tired to move.

Petunia slept peacefully, without fear or fear, and her body was not shaking.

Lynch got up after resting for a while. He had to ask the kitchen to send some food.

At the end of February and the beginning of March, daylight saving time has not yet entered, and the sky starts to get dark just after 5 o'clock, and it gets darker faster than on land.

In the captain's cabin, the captain was looking at the cruise ship through the window, and the room was filled with a thick smell of smoke.

He was like a statue, motionless.

At this moment, a sudden knock on the door startled him slightly, and then he said in a deep voice, "Who is there?"

"It's me, I caught one!" The first mate's voice made the captain's brows tremble and relax. He quickly opened the door. The first mate's expression was a little excited, "We caught the telegraph operator."

After the telegraph operator broke the telegraph machine, he hid in the lower cabin. Although there were many cabins, as long as he searched every room carefully and locked the searched rooms, he could eventually find the person.

In order to prevent these people from getting the keys, after locking the doors of all the rooms they searched, they also drove nails into the lock cylinders and cut them off to ensure that no one with the key could open the door.

Finally, they found the telegraph operator who they thought had jumped into the sea in an empty box in the utility room.

"Go quickly..."

The group of people came to the captain's cabin on the first floor. The female telegraph operator sat on a chair with a pale face. She didn't expect that it had been almost a week, and these people were still searching everywhere like crazy.

Eventually she couldn't escape and fell into the hands of these people.

Thinking of their methods, the female telegraph operator felt cold.

When people saw the captain coming, they greeted him one after another. He didn't bother to say hello to everyone at this time. He walked directly to the female telegraph operator, glanced at her, and then suddenly picked up the iron used to press the charts on the table. The wooden paperweight was slapped hard on her calf.

There was no accident. Her calf was broken, and it was a terrible open fracture. The cracked bone pierced the skin and came out from the other side.

She was stunned for a moment, then pain came, and then she screamed violently, and even lost control of her urination.

The captain threw the paperweight back on the table. He adjusted his collar and looked at the female telegraph operator expressionlessly, "I don't necessarily want to get any information from you that you may think is important to me."

"I can't tell if you're telling the truth or a lie, so I'm prepared to be deceived or even get nothing."

"And are you ready to be killed?"

The female telegraph operator's body was shaking violently. Part of the reason was that the pain made her tremble. It felt so terrible and painful to have her legs broken while she was alive.

Another part of the reason was the captain's attitude. He really didn't care at all whether he could pry open the female telegraph operator's mouth, at least that's what she thought.

will die!

This was her only thought at the moment, and it brought her face to face with unspeakable terror.

At this time, the sailor who first discovered the female crew member hiding in the box had arrived at the lifeboat suspension.

Under federal law and industry regulations, civilian ships must provide lifeboats that can carry twice the number of passengers and be placed on either side of the ship.

Avoid being unable to escape in time when capsizing occurs, or the capsizing surface occurs on the side with lifeboats.

It was already very late at this time, and most of the crew on the ship knew that someone had been caught, and there was no one on the side of the ship.

The sailor looked around and lowered a lifeboat.

Along with the lifeboat, there were four steel wire core ropes...
