Chapter 95: Family Portrait

Lisa is a sweet little girl who is scared, but more than that, she is confused and doesn't understand why her dad is the way he is.

Jiang Luo chatted in general, "Lisa, when did your father become wrong?"

"It's been a long time," Lisa whispered, "Not long after Lisa's mom fell in the water, Dad started getting weird."

She buried her head and rubbed it on her sleeve, "Lisa misses her mommy, and she misses her old daddy."

Jiang Luo gently patted her on the back twice, curious: "How did you save me there?"

"I hide there every night," Lisa said dutifully, "because sometimes I can save people there. They don't know how to hide, Lisa does. Daddy can't see with his eyes whenever he turns scary, and he can only smell Lisa and hear Lisa with his nose, and as long as we don't make any noise and cover the smell, Daddy and the others won't find us."

"Have you saved many people before?"

Lisa's expression darkened, and she nodded silently.

Jiang Luo understood the consequences of those people in his mind, but he still asked, "What happened to them after that?"

A little girl, able to survive the presence of so many monsters on the ship, and know how to avoid and save people. This is not a simple thing, adults can't do it, let alone a child.

Jiang Luo is somewhat skeptical of Lisa.

"They're all gone," Lisa hugged herself, "I told them to run away, but they were found locked up ...... Lisa tried to save them, but Lisa couldn't get in. "

"Lisa's a good kid," Jiang Luo said softly, "Are there many more monsters like this on board?"

Lisa said with some fear, "Many, many ...... they are normal looking during the day, but at night they turn into something else and take their normal look off like they are undressing, and they drool over Lisa."

"But they weren't eating Lisa, and Lisa hadn't seen any of the other kids on the boat ...... Every time someone came on board, I got a couple of adults to tell them about it, but they didn't believe me."

Jiang Luo was thoughtful.

When he first landed on the Angonese, Ge Zhu noticed something about the crowd not having small children.

It would make sense if the crew were all monsters disguised as blood eels. This is because blood eel eggs are extremely difficult to survive, but they can be raised in the human body, and successfully raised blood eel females have some marvelous properties, such as returning people to their youth and increasing their lifespan.

The crew and the rich then entered into a partnership whereby the rich would bring civilians on board and the crew would use the bodies of the civilians as vessels and sell a portion of the females that came to life to the rich, allowing the rich to bring a large number of civilians on board again on the next embarkation.

Perhaps because a child's body doesn't qualify as a vessel, or because of the difficulty of reproducing an heir, the blood eels don't take on the young of other races, and Lisa has survived to this day.

Jiang Luo rubbed Lisa's head, "The vast majority of people in the world live foolish lives, and they won't believe the truth if it's not put in front of them."

Like Jiang Luo, he would never have believed that there was a mermaid monster hiding under a human skin.

Jiang Luo had rolled all over his body in slime, which made it hard for him, who was a slight germaphobe. It had been a crisis, so he'd held his tongue. But now that the crisis was over, Jiang Luo at least wanted to wash his hands and face.

"Lisa, can I turn on the light?"

Lisa stood up in his arms and leaned back, "It's okay."

Jiang Luo turned on the light and squinted for a while to adjust to the light before he could see the room clearly.

There wasn't much difference between the captain's room and his in terms of size or layout, the only difference being the slime that was everywhere. On the ceiling, on the walls, on the desktop and on the floor ...... it almost gave Jiang Luo the feeling that he had entered the stomach of some kind of monster.

It was hard to imagine that he had just rolled in all that slime.

Jiang Luo immediately lost the idea of simply cleaning up here.

Lisa, still holding his hand, hesitated long enough to say, "Brother, if you can leave, can you take me with you?"

She said timidly, "I want to go to the doctors so they can cure my daddy. Daddy used to tell me that the best doctors are on land."

"Sure," Jiang Luo said, "if I can make it out."

Lisa's sad little face finally revealed a happy, carefree smile that belonged to a child, and she shook Jiang Luo's finger, saying with certainty, "Brother, you will definitely be able to take Lisa away from here."

Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows, crouched down to meet Lisa's eyes, and asked rhetorically, "What makes you so sure?"

Lisa said seriously, "Because my brother runs the fastest I've ever seen him."

Jiang Luo, who is best at running away: "......"

"...... Thanks for the compliment."

Jiang Luo stood up, "Lisa, where are you sleeping tonight? Brother will send you back."

Lisa didn't live with the captain, she only came to this room to get slime on when she met danger. Jiang Luo sent her to the door of the room, before parting with Lisa, he suddenly remembered something, "Lisa, how do you know the fish soup is not drinkable?"

Lisa said honestly, "I heard it from Uncle Crew."

She was too young to understand the meaning of the crew's words, and could only barely repeat them to Jiang Luo: "They said that if they ate the fish soup, more fish would grow in their stomachs. All the fish on the boat are males, and they try to find material for the females every year, and they say that they breed with the females every year and wait for the next fall to catch the females from the deep sea."

"What does breeding mean, brother?"

Faced with the clean eyes of a small child, Jiang Luo improvised, "It means they're going to be a father."

Lisa seemed to understand, "So these two days, that's when they become dads."

Males and females will be mating in two days?

Jiang Luo's face sank, and he no longer stayed, saying goodbye to Lisa.

Taking humans to reproduce their offspring, and they also liked to eat human flesh. Such a race should never be allowed to reproduce successfully, and the female Blood Eel should not be allowed to return to the deep sea with a bellyful of eggs.

The consequences of letting a female blood eel go are dozens of lives in the bilge, dozens of fry in one's belly.

Jiang Luo did not return to his room, but searched the entire ship.

On the bow deck he saw the massive five hundred pound female blood eel.

The blackfish clung to the floor, its mouth emitting a low-frequency cry that was much more feminine and soft than the male's. The blood eel had changed considerably from the time it was caught. The blood eel has changed a lot from when it was caught, its bulging head has been deflated, and the reason why its head was so huge before should be hiding the blood eel's eggs.

Jiang Luo listened to a loud scream and instinctively felt bad.

Combine what Lisa said with the behavior of this blood eel, and it's obvious that it's begging for sex.

And Jiang Luo can easily imagine the consequences of having sex on a boat full of male fish.

The males will go crazy over it, and it will be reduced to a battleground for males and females to mate.

Unless there is already a leader within the male fish, who decides who will mate with the females, the entire ship will be turned into an infernal hell for the next two nights.

Jiang Luo stood still and waited for a while, thankfully, tonight should just be a prelude, the females screamed for a while and then stopped, no males rushed to the deck yet.

Jiang Luo quietly returned to the room.

Lu Youyi is still hiding in his and Ge Zhu's room.

They had been hiding in the rich neighborhood for a day, probably because of the sheer number of civilians, and dozens more had been brought into the bilge, and the disappearance of a few of them hadn't attracted the attention of the crew.

This was also expected by Jiang Luo.

After all, even if someone escaped, where could they go? There was only one ship on the ocean, the Angonese, so no matter how much they tried to escape, they would not be able to escape from their clutches. It was only with such a contemptuous attitude that the crew would not take it seriously.

As soon as Jiang Luo returned, several people were startled by his appearance.

The luxury room in the rich district from morning to night fragrance constantly, Jiang Luo in the outside has been accustomed to the end of the nose of the fishy smell, as soon as he walked into the normal flavor of the room, good guy, he was directly by his own body smell to the green face.

It's beautiful and expensive when you leave the house, and then you come back and it stinks.

Jiang Luo had no time to say more and scurried straight to the bathroom.

The people outside looked at each other in disbelief.

Lu Youyi whispered, "Is he planted in the fish pit?"

In order to get rid of the smell, Jiang Luo took the longest bath in his life. It was even longer than the one he took after Chi You touched him all over his body, and only when his skin was all wrinkled did he reluctantly stop.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Jiang Luo always felt that there was still a fishy odor on his body, in order to cover up such a feeling, he took the rare step of finding out the small bottle of perfume in the bathroom, and sprayed a few times far away from himself.

Now the stench is finally gone.

Jiang Luo walked out with a fragrant breeze, and when they saw him come out, the crowd rushed to ask in a chorus of voices, "No injuries, right?"

"What happened?"

Jiang Luo just to say, saw a row of flares and a photo album on the bed, he was surprised to pick up a flare in his hand to look at it, "What's going on here?"

Wenren Lian smiled, "We couldn't leave you to work alone. While you were in the communications room, Zhongqiu and I stole a row of flares and took them to use just in case. Ye Xun and Lu Youyi found this photo album. The pictures in this album are kind of interesting, so open it up and take a look."

Jiang Luo gave them a thumbs up, his mind halfway relaxed. He opened the album, and the first photo was of a slightly familiar crew member, and it dawned on him, "This is Cheng Li's album?"

Lu Youyi nods, "Yes, Ye Xun and I found it in his room."

The people who took these photos definitely have an extraordinary relationship with Cheng Li. In the work photos and life photos, the Cheng Li under the camera is far different from the Cheng Li they saw in their eyes, and the rude and fierce crew member can also be seen in the photos with a little bit of gentleness and perseverance.

The front is full of photos of Cheng Li, and the back is added a little girl, the little girl's eyebrows and eyes can vaguely see the shadow of Cheng Li, should be Cheng Li's daughter.

Turning over the photo of Cheng Li's daughter, it is a photo similar to a family photo.

The style of this photo is obviously different from the previous one, and it should have been taken by a different person. There is a family standing in the photo. Besides Cheng Li and his daughter, there is a middle-aged woman with an ordinary face but an infectious smile.

The family stands on the shore with the Angonese in the background behind them.

In the photo, the Angonese is as new as if it had just sailed, and Jiang Luo sees the captain by the high deck railing.

Jiang Luo looked closer and saw that the captain was also holding a little girl, Lisa, in his arms.

Lisa is wiping her tears with her head down, her arms are covered with bruises from the beatings, the captain is looking down at the crowd of the boat and laughing, his expression is springy and happy, it looks like his career is going well, but the movement of his hugging Lisa is extremely impatient.
