Chapter 208 Imprisonment
"Fine, whatever you want." Wen Yuanzheng finally spoke in a fatherly tone, "You'd better take care of yourself. I'm only saying this for your own good."
He shook his head and was about to leave when Yan Xun grabbed his arm.
Wen Yuanzheng thought Yan Xun had changed his mind, so he turned around and asked, "What? You've changed your mind?"
“No,” Yan Xun said.
He smiled at Wen Yuanzheng and said, "If you're not ruthless, why do you do bad things?"
Wen Yuanzheng was almost scared out of his wits by these words. He tried to shake off Yan Xun's hand, but found that the other's hand was like a pair of pliers and he couldn't shake it off at all.
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Wen Yuanzheng avoided eye contact.
"I was just saying," Yan Xun said, releasing the hand that was holding Wen Yuanzheng. "I'm going to eat some baked buns."
He turned around and said, "Just take this as me saying it casually."
……
Yan Xun left the bottom of the cabin and immediately went up to the deck.
He found the lookout from today and loudly asked him if he had seen Wen Yuanzheng today.
The other person also shouted at him, saying that Wen Yuanzheng had been staring blankly at the bow of the ship for quite a while today.
After thanking the lookout, Yan Xun found Will.
“Will,” Yan Xun said seriously, “I’ve discovered there are still heretics on board.”
Will seemed surprised to find infidels on board and immediately tensed up. "Who?"
“Wen Yuanzheng,” Yan Xun said.
“He told me about a mysterious cult today,” Yan Xun said to Will, emphasizing each word. “It’s called the Donkey Meat Fry Cult, I think.”
As he spoke, he handed the remaining donkey meat sandwich to Will, saying, "This is the reward he received after praying to that heretic."
Will looked at the steaming food in his hand. He had never seen anything like it before. It looked completely different from any food he knew. What was even stranger was that it was steaming.
Obviously, a steaming hot meal won't suddenly appear on the Terror.
Will immediately believed Yan Xun's words.
But he still noticed the bite marks on the food. "What's this?"
Yan Xun's face contorted in pain. "He forced me to take a bite." She clutched her stomach. "I'm worried I'll be corroded..."
Will had never encountered anything so difficult.
Logically, he should have just thrown Yan Xun and that heretic into the sea of evil spirits, but the unfamiliar faith he had never heard of before made Will find it very difficult to handle.
He decided to consult with Coron first.
Having received a secret message from Will, Coron quickly arrived in the room.
He looked at Yan Xun, then at the baked bun placed on the table.
This thing was clearly not something that should have appeared on the Terror. "It was steaming just now," Will added.
Koren sighed. "I was still investigating Qin Ke's matter." He then said to Yan Xun, "But didn't the Whale Speaker bless you before?"
“Perhaps that belief is hidden even deeper,” Yan Xun said.
“Or perhaps that thing isn’t faith at all?” he added to Colum and Will, “It’s just a little magic trick.”
“But magic can’t conjure up hot food,” Corren added.
He seemed to think this was a difficult matter, saying, "I don't want to throw you into the Sea of Evil Spirits."
What do you think I should do?
Yan Xun hadn't expected that he and Ke Lun had such a good relationship. "I'm worried that Wen Yuanzheng might go and damage the amulet on the bow of the ship at night."
Yan Xun sighed, "I have an idea."
"How about locking us all together, and locking the door while you're at it?"
“This will prevent Wen Yuan from damaging the amulet on the bow of the ship,” he said to Colen and Will. “If it’s a misunderstanding, even better.”
Colin and Will exchanged a glance.
The two nodded.
Koren stood up. "That's what we'll do."
"Oh, right." He said to Yan Xun as if he had just remembered something, "I also have some doubts about Qin Ke."
"So I'm going to lock him up with you guys."
His green eyes looked at Yan Xun. "Do you mind?"
Yan Xun gave a fake smile. "Of course I don't mind."
"But you need to come up with a good excuse."
“Of course I will.” Corren nodded.
"The captain thinks you're possessed by evil spirits... How about that excuse?" Coron asked.
……
In the afternoon, Yan Xun and the other two were tied up and stuffed into a storeroom filled with chocolates and candies.
Aside from Yan Xun, who knew this from the beginning, Wen Yuanzheng and Qin Ke were both very surprised. Wen Yuanzheng even struggled to get up and asked the crew why they had captured him.
"Behave yourself!" Will punched Wen Yuanzheng in the stomach.
"you."
He pointed at the three men and said, "The captain said you are possessed by evil spirits."
"I didn't!" Wen Yuanzheng immediately retorted.
"The captain is just..." Before he could finish speaking, someone stuffed a rag into his mouth.
Seeing this, Yan Xun and Qin Ke simply shut up.
“The captain is just suspicious,” Corren clapped his hands and said, “so for safety’s sake… you’d better stay in the ship’s storeroom for the next few days.”
He gave a fake smile. "This is better than falling into the sea, isn't it?"
As he spoke, he ordered the crew to take the three men to the storeroom at the bottom of the ship... Gu Jia looked at Yan Xun with some concern, but Yan Xun shook his head to stop him, and the remaining players discussed among themselves.
"Damn it, I knew I shouldn't go to the captain's cabin!"
"I went to the captain's cabin this morning, and now I'm suspected of being an evil spirit."
"I'm not going to do the cleaning tomorrow either!"
Gu Jia knew there was something strange about this. Yan Xun had told him before that Will and the others knew about the captain's nonsense, so why would they suddenly lock the three of them in the bottom of the cabin because of the captain's words?
He wanted to visit Yan Xun and gather some information, but he knew it wasn't the right time to act rashly. He could only wait until he received Lan Jin's hidden mission tomorrow before making any plans.
……
The three were pushed to the ground after arriving at the narrow warehouse filled with chocolates and candies.
Then the crew locked the door and left, leaving only the three bound men behind.
Qin Ke was clearly frightened. He moved closer to Yan Xun and asked, "How did we suddenly become people possessed by evil spirits?"
Yan Xun felt a chill run down his spine from the rubbing against him. The thought that this person was probably from the Angel Guild made him want to kick him out of the cabin.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh." Wen Yuanzheng whimpered for a long time before finally spitting out the rag from his mouth.
"No way?! How did I end up being treated like an evil spirit?!"
He even planned to find some time in the next couple of nights to destroy the sun god amulet on the bow of the ship... Thinking about it this way, it seems that he really is no different from being possessed by an evil spirit.
Yan Xun looked at Wen Yuanzheng and said, "It's possible that the lookout noticed you staring at the amulet on the bow of the ship and heard from the captain that you were possessed by an evil spirit, so he reported it to Coron."
Wen Yuanzheng: "..."
He was sweating profusely and wondered if Yan Xun knew something and was hinting at something to him.
But that's impossible!
I haven't told anyone about this plan, how could Yan Xun possibly know?!
"Then what do we do?" Qin Ke pitifully rested his head on Yan Xun's shoulder. "Are we just going to stay like this until the dungeon ends?"
