The Whispering Verses Chapter 2125: Ladies’ stories
Chapter 2125 The Story of the Ladies
Little Mia just shrank into Sha De's arms again, leaving only the upper half of her face exposed. While looking around, he noticed the burning campfire. The flames seemed to be stationary in the cat's big amber eyes, but it was very obedient and did not jump out of Shade's arms.
Because cats don't like rain.
Of course, because the surroundings were really dark, Shade did not notice that when little Mia appeared, she seemed to turn slightly and glance at the fishing **** on the sea. But that's not important, he took Miss Theresa and had already awakened the other three ladies.
Their mental state is very poor, at least much worse than Miss Teresa who is still crying, shy and curious. After being awakened by Shade, he didn't know what he had done during his coma. Only when he stretched out his hand towards the campfire to keep warm, his spirits were lifted.
Fortunately, their memories are still normal, and they still remember what happened when Shade came last time, as well as fishing and investigating the sinking of the "Brilliant Messenger".
Xia De only had half an hour, and he didn’t have time to provide psychological counseling for everyone. Therefore, after their emotions stabilized temporarily, they asked their own questions:
"Did you remember any new details while I was away? Was there really no sign before the ship sank? Miss Theresa just recalled that Her Majesty Violet once said that the route of the Radiant Messenger Two months ago, there were traces of the evil thing in the deep sea - the player of Nanao, but it was not its true form."
This is actually what I learned from the blonde girl’s memories during the last fishing trip.
The pale-faced Miss Maxim, Professor Evans and Miss Malone recalled it carefully, but there was no more specific gain.
Xia De then asked a question that they should have an answer to:
"The shipwreck happened at night, so what did you do before you went back to your room to sleep at night?"
Miss Teresa knew that Shade was verifying the identities of these three people, so she took the lead and said:
"I had dinner with Vayne, and then took a walk on the deck as usual. Because the night was cloudy and we couldn't see the stars and moon, we didn't stay outside for long and returned to the room at eight o'clock. We lived together, and I After reading for a while, Vayne went to the kitchen to bring me hot tea. It started to rain outside around 9:30, and I fell asleep to the sound of rain."
The maid, Miss Vayne Maxim, also nodded and said:
"I stayed with Miss Theresa after dinner. When I went to bring hot tea, I heard from the servants in the kitchen that a storm was coming. They heard it from the sailors on the ship. Theresa I didn't rest after the lady went to bed. I went to the kitchen at about 9:40 to confirm the information for tomorrow morning's breakfast, and went to the laundry room to get the clothes I had stored. I also took a rest at 10:10, when it started to rain outside. Rain."
This doesn't sound suspicious.
Next is Professor Evans. The life of this professor who travels alone is very monotonous:
"After dinner, I went back to the room to read and took a shower until half past nine. During this period, I didn't see anyone or leave the room."
The first-class room has its own separate bathroom.
"Have you ever noticed anything unusual?"
Xia De asked again, and the professor thought for a while:
"At almost nine o'clock, there seemed to be some trouble outside. Although the cabin was well soundproofed, it made no difference to a high-level witch."
She pointed to her ears. She was a genuine twelfth-level witch. She had a tenured teaching position at Zarath Academy of Literature at the end of the fifth era. In today's era, the witches are ushering in their final glory. To be able to become a professor in the academy in this era, she is indeed very capable.
"I didn't go outside to check, but from the sound, it seemed like there was a thief on the boat, but I don't know the specific situation."
When she mentioned this, Miss Maxim also added:
"I also heard when I went to the kitchen to serve hot tea that a lady staying in the first-class compartment was stolen. She was traveling alone. It is said that when she returned to the room, she found that everything in the room had been used, not just the teacup. , Even the jewelry box, clothes, notebooks, drawing boards, and dressing tables were tampered with. Later, she checked and found that valuable items were missing, but I don’t know the more specific things.”
She only heard about it occasionally. If Professor Evans hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have even remembered it.
"Well, the lost thing wouldn't be a flawless blue gem, right?"
Xia De asked hesitantly. This question was strange, but none of the ladies present knew it.
Finally, it’s Miss Maggie Malone’s turn. Although as an ordinary person, she does not live in the first-class cabin, her nightlife is much richer than that of the witches in the first-class cabin:
"After dinner, I also went to the deck to relax. At around seven o'clock, I returned to the cabin to play dice with the girls in the next cabin. Then I went to the kitchen and stole a bottle of wine."
She pursed her lips:
"It seemed to be rum, and I got drunk later. When I woke up, the shipwreck had already happened. At that time, debris blocked the door, and I had no choice but to jump out of the window to escape."
"I remember you said that you went on vacation with your sister?"
Xia De asked, wondering why there was one person missing from the other party's description.
The black-haired girl lowered her head slightly, her side face illuminated by the firelight:
"Yes. But that is not actually my biological sister. We are friends and usually call each other sisters. I am very worried about her, but I still have to leave here before I can find a way. Maybe she has been rescued through other methods. ”
Shad and Miss Theresa looked at each other and were about to continue asking, but unexpectedly the black-haired girl took the initiative and said:
"I got drunk earlier, so I don't know what they said about theft. But when I was playing dice with the girls in the cabin next door in the room, I heard them say that the captain of this ship was strange. During dinner , a girl did not go to the restaurant because she was losing weight. When she was watching the sunset on the deck, she noticed that the captain and first mate were carrying a box of things covered by tarpaulin. This is very abnormal, right? Why didn't the sailors move it? ”
This is indeed very abnormal, but Shade always felt that the clues she suddenly put forward seemed to want to divert his attention. And when he stared at the black-haired girl, she looked away embarrassedly, not daring to look at Shade:
"That's it, I didn't lie."
Now not only Shade and Miss Theresa, but also the listless Miss Maxim and Professor Evans noticed something was wrong with her.
With everyone staring at her, the black-haired girl pursed her lips and looked at Shade. She knew very well that Shade, this strange man, was the leader here.
"Is there anything else you want to tell us?"
Xia De also looked at her, so the girl "defeated" under Sha De's gaze:
"If I tell the truth, can you promise to protect me?"
"Did you kill anyone?"
"Of course not."
"Then at least in this ocean, I can guarantee that no one will do anything to you."
Miss Malone pursed her lips and nodded gently:
"Actually, I don't have any sisters, and I didn't go to Silver Beach Island for vacation."
Her voice was very low:
"I probably suffered a head injury when I jumped off the ship. I have lost a lot of memories before boarding the ship. I only remember that I obtained the ticket through means, and then boarded the ship, hoping to get it. These things that I don’t have are really like this. This time I am telling the truth. I didn’t lie to you.”
Professor Evans nodded to Shade. A twelfth-level witch is enough to tell whether ordinary people are lying. What's more, professors in the college face students who lie because they are late or haven't handed in their homework all day long. It is instinct for them to identify lies.
Therefore, it appears that Miss Maggie Malone's former occupation was that of a thief.
"I actually didn't eat the dinner before the shipwreck. I wanted to take advantage of everyone to have dinner and try my luck in the first-class cabin to see if I could find what I wanted."
"So, the professor and the thief they heard about are you?"
Miss Teresa, who was leaning against Shade, asked. Miss Malone shook her head hurriedly:
"It's not me, it's definitely not me. Please listen to me. I went to the first-class cabin because I heard that there was a witch on the ship. I didn't dare to break the door lock. There happened to be a door that was not locked, so I went in. But there was someone in the room at that time! There was a beautiful girl with blue eyes sitting in front of the dressing table."
She tried her best to describe the girl’s beauty:
"She was really beautiful, with blond hair, blue eyes, and wearing a white dress. I was shocked. She turned and smiled at me, and then I walked in in a daze. I swear I Nothing was stolen.”
"What did you do in the room?"
Xia De asked. The black-haired girl turned red and hesitated:
"She is really beautiful. I feel from the bottom of my soul that she is beautiful. She also praised me for being beautiful and invited me to go for a walk outside. We went to the deck to watch the sunset together and she said to me My own fear of death. The sunset was really beautiful. I don’t even remember how we got back to the room afterwards. She said my clothes were too old-fashioned, so she took them out for me to change, and then... She said she would paint an oil painting for me.
Seeing five pairs of eyes—the cat was also looking here—looking at her, she pursed her lips again:
"It's that kind of naked oil painting. At about seven o'clock, we wandered on the boat together again. I said that I felt lonely, and she also said that she was nostalgic for the world, and then we returned to my room. Next The cabin had four beds per room. I was lucky because it was very noisy near the steam engine room and the other beds were empty and unsold, so the two of us stayed in the room. I fell asleep after that. When we arrived, the surroundings were pitch black, the ship was shaking violently, and she disappeared. After that, I was forced to jump off the ship and swam desperately toward the fire to get here."
