Pirate Journalist

Chapter 185 It's sinking (two in one)

Holy Land Mary Joa.

CP0 office.

"Vera is the person you value the most. You finally finished a mission and sent it out again?" Chris put down the document in his hand, raised his eyes, and looked at Stracey who was sitting on the sofa.

"It's just the right time, don't miss it." Stracey held a cup of coffee, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "And with her ability, is it a vacation to perform a mission?"

"You are really confident in her, but before Murphy's power is fully established, it's better to sneak in earlier." Chris nodded, and then his voice became serious again: "I really didn't expect that in just four years, This Murphy has become so powerful."

There was still a hint of doubt in his tone.

Logically speaking, Murphy was only 15 years old four years ago, and he had a bounty of [-] million at a young age, so he should be young and energetic.

For example, Lingling and other talented pirates have made troubles in the sea since they were very young.

However, this Murphy did the opposite. He disappeared for four years without any trace, which was really contrary to common sense.

What is even more surprising is that when it reappears, its strength has been turned upside down.

If you refer to it from the battle in the Engusen Islands, even if this strength is comparable to him, it is not much better.

Stracey heard the doubts in Chris's words, and said casually: "It's really unexpected, but it won't be long before Vera can tell us the answer."

"I hope so."

……

"Lord Murphy, Lord Moria, they have all been counted, a total of seven people, and treasures worth nearly [-] million Baileys."

The men searched the two ships and brought back a treasure chest and some people.

And now, one of his subordinates is reporting in front of Murphy and Moria.

"Okay, I got it, for the sake of the treasure, you go and resettle them, and drive them off when you reach the next island." Moria waved his hand impatiently.

Moria has also been in the sea for so many years, and has a lot of knowledge.

Therefore, I am not very concerned about the harvest of less than [-] million Baileys.

"Sir, there is one more thing."

"what?"

"There is someone here who wants to see Lord Murphy." The subordinate turned to Murphy, hesitated for a moment, and continued: "She said she knew Lord Murphy, and I don't think what she said is a lie, so..."

These subordinates were not very familiar with the personality and temper of Murphy, the airborne boss.

It's just that after seeing how powerful Murphy is, he has always maintained a sense of awe.

He instinctively didn't believe that someone in a merchant ship knew Murphy.

However, on the one hand, the woman seemed very pitiful when she asked for help, and on the other hand, he was also worried that the two of them really knew each other, so he finally decided to report it.

"Oh? Which one?" Moriah asked with a strange expression.

A similar question also popped up in his mind.

However, just as he asked, he heard Murphy say, "Well, I do know her. You can bring her here."

"Yes." The subordinate breathed a sigh of relief, sighing secretly for his wise move.

When his subordinates retreated, Murphy responded to Moria's puzzled gaze: "You don't need to worry about it, just watch the show."

After a while, the subordinate brought Vera to the two of them.

She was still wearing the sky-blue cheongsam, but the clothes were a little messy, and a lot of blood was stained on her body.

After standing still, Vera bowed first, and said, "Thank you Lord Murphy and Lord Moria for your help, saving the few people left."

"I remember seeing you before the auction. You seem to be the person of Silver Ax!" Murphy propped his chin, seeming a little curious: "You should know that Silver Ax and I are enemies! Isn't it good to hide? You want to make a special trip to see me, and then die?"

"Ah? But I'm just a small manager in the auction house, and I do my job with a meager salary. Why should Mr. Murphy make things difficult for me?"

Vera grasped the skirt of her clothes uneasily with both hands, with a weak look: "And now that I am in a disaster, I suddenly see you who have met once, and I instinctively want to recognize you. After all, staying by Mr. Murphy's side, It must be extremely safe."

The attitude is sincere, the tone is slightly complicated, mixed with various emotions such as fear, admiration, and expectation, which vividly interprets the mood of a woman who is in danger and wants to seek stability.

At the same time, she also stated that she is just an ordinary staff member and has little to do with the Silver Ax Pirates.

"Incomparably safe?" Murphy looked suddenly enlightened: "Actually, you want to find a backer?"

"Yes, I didn't expect Mr. Murphy to be very smart besides being powerful. You guessed what I was thinking before I could say it. It's really reassuring."

Vera showed a little excitement appropriately, and then returned to a look of trepidation: "I am doing diplomatic work in the arms trading market. I have dealt with pirates for a long time, and I also have certain strengths. Killed several pirates.

It's just that her strength is still limited, and she is a woman. After the disbandment of the Silver Ax Pirates, she has become helpless. Now that she has encountered a catastrophe, she will have to wander alone in the new world. This is too dangerous. If you encounter any unruly people, I'm afraid the end will not be good...

Therefore, I hope Mr. Murphy can give you a bite of food because you and I have met once. I believe I can help you. "

While talking about it, Vera talked about her own value.

Those moving big eyes blinked and blinked, with a lovely and pitiful look.

She and Stracey once deduced Murphy's character and hobbies together. In addition, Murphy was young and promising, so he must enjoy the admiration of others.

Therefore, from Vera's point of view, if a beautiful woman with admiration and ability appeared in front of him, Murphy would have no reason to refuse.

After hearing this, Murphy nodded, seemed to think for a while, and then asked: "Even if I defeat Silver Ax, someone new will take over the Engusen Islands. You can actually stay there. Why did you leave?" ?”

"Master Murphy, you don't know. Not long after you left, Silver Ax and Wang Zhi's subordinates arrived. They didn't dare to take revenge on you, but fought for territory. In the end, the two pirate groups seemed to be fighting each other. Disbanded, and we were worried about being affected, so we fled all the way, but although we escaped quickly, we encountered other pirates on the way." Vera complained.

Although she was complaining, there was a glimmer of excitement in her eyes.

Murphy started interrogating these things to resolve the doubts in his heart. This proved that Murphy had deliberately asked her to join, otherwise why would he ask so many questions?
However, she has considered all aspects, no matter what questions Murphy asks, there will be no flaws.

"I see." Murphy still nodded, and then suddenly raised his chin to Vera: "Catch this woman."

The subordinate next to him heard the words, although he was surprised, he still acted immediately.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Vera's eyes were full of panic and doubt, and she exclaimed, "You have to believe me, I'm really not a silver axe!"

Her hands trembled, but she didn't resist in the end, as if to prove that she did not have any malicious intentions, so she let Moriah's men hold her down.

However, only Vera understood that the panic was just faking.

When some pirates recruit their subordinates, they will try various methods to see if the person joins sincerely or has other plans.

She was sure that this was Murphy's plan, so in order not to reveal her flaws, she still tried her best to perform.

Murphy ignored her shouting, but casually leaned against the railing, with a smile on his lips, and continued to order: "Tie it up."

Vera still didn't resist, just explaining while showing innocent eyes.

Murphy saw that Vera was tightly bound, and suddenly asked, "By the way, I don't seem to know your name yet."

"My name is Vera, Lord Murphy, please trust me!"

"Okay Vera, do you have any last words to say?"

Vera was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Master Murphy, you don't believe me, I admit it, but please treat the few people who fled with me kindly. They are just ordinary arms dealers. It is not easy to survive this time. It is not easy to continue to survive in this treacherous sea!"

In her eyes, she will definitely be able to join Murphy's command in the end.

But she will still try her best to perform. What she said just now is alluding to the tragedy of other people on herself, trying to win Murphy's sympathy.

This will not only make her reaction more real, but also get better treatment after joining.

However, she didn't notice that there was no fluctuation in Murphy's eyes.

"Have you finished?" Murphy clapped his palms and gave an order: "Gag your mouth, blindfold, and then... sink."

Hearing Murphy's order, a trace of panic flashed in Vera's eyes.

But it was just a trace of panic. She had seen a similar test before. It was really thrown into the sea, and she was not rescued until the other party drowned.

This is not the end. After being rescued, torture will continue. After this, it is officially trusted.

It's just that she makes good use of her own advantages, so in so many years of espionage career, she has never met anyone who is so ruthless to her.

However, now it is met.

A trace of resentment flashed in Vera's heart, and she screamed and struggled until her eyes were dark and she could no longer utter a sound.

Then, she heard Murphy say, "Tie this thing to her back."

Vera didn't know what Murphy was talking about, but it felt a little heavy. Judging from the shape it felt, it should be a box.

What is this for?
For some reason, Vera had a bad feeling in her heart.

This box-like thing seems to have an inexplicable familiarity.

"By the way, Vera, I want to ask you something!" Murphy's voice sounded again.

This made Vera quickly make a 'woo hoo' sound, indicating that she could not speak.

However, Murphy didn't ask anyone to remove the cloth strip from her mouth, but said directly: "I'm more curious about your CP, are you interested in talking to me?"

This sentence made Moria and his subordinates who were watching the play stunned, their faces confused.

And Vera's struggling body froze instantly, as if it was frozen.

Then, as if his strength had been drained, his whole body collapsed and he trembled.

"If you want to say it, just nod. If you don't want to, don't force it. Of course, you know what will happen." Murphy said.

Vera twitched a few times, and made a few 'woo-woo' noises, but in the end she still didn't choose to nod.

Those who are in their line of work will encounter such a day sooner or later, and they will have awakened in their hearts.

Also, she wasn't dead.

Vera is relatively well prepared, so there is still the possibility of escape.

It's just that she is very puzzled by the current situation. How did Murphy discover her identity?
She asked herself that she didn't reveal any flaws, but unfortunately she wanted to ask Murphy, but she couldn't.

"Tie up the few people who are traveling with him," Murphy ordered.

It can be judged from the previous conversation that those so-called businessmen are, in all likelihood, under Vera's subordinates.

After a while, the seven tightly bound people stood neatly by the side of the boat. In addition to the ropes on their bodies, an iron ball of sufficient weight was tied to their feet.

And until now, Vera didn't nod.

"Throw it down." Murphy shook his head slightly and gave the order.

thump.

Seven beeps in a row.

The seven bodies splashed water, and then sank into the deep sea.

Maybe a few people will drown, maybe a few people will be digested by sea kings, maybe...

Murphy looked at the waves on the sea and gave the order: "Get out of here at full speed."

Under full acceleration, the large fleet quickly disappeared on the sea level.

However, not long after, another medium-sized ship came to the place where seven people sank just now.

"Quick! With Master Vera's strength, she can hold her breath for a long time. Hurry up and dive down, and we must rescue her!"

A dozen or so people who were probably Vera's subordinates changed into diving suits, then jumped into the sea and swam towards the bottom of the sea at a very high speed.

The person swimming in the front suddenly made a gesture, and the people behind immediately understood that this was the discovery of Lord Vera.

Sure enough, as the dozen or so people continued to dive, the seven sunk people were soon found on the bottom of the sea.

Not only did Lord Vera have movements, but the other six people also had movements, and it seemed that nothing happened.

The dozen or so subordinates immediately sighed. Fortunately, the seabed here is not very deep, and even more fortunately, they did not encounter Neptunes during the time of their descent.

Some people even mocked Murphy in their hearts.

Now that you have done it, you should do it to death, especially for organized people like them, otherwise it will be like now, and people will be rescued immediately.

A dozen or so people took the prepared oxygen tanks and swam towards the seven of them separately.

And Vera is full of knowledge and domineering, and after sensing the rescuer, he showed a reassuring smile.

……

Enter Moriah's fleet.

Murphy stood at the stern, facing the direction that just sank Vera into the sea.

It's just that his attention was focused on the transmission screen of the system.

A dozen or so people in diving suits are zooming in on the screen. Obviously, they are getting closer and closer to the camera.

"There is still a dynamite rock in the suitcase. What are you doing with it tied to Vera?" Moria also stood beside him and asked suspiciously.

You can kill the opponent casually on the boat, but if you have to sink into the sea, you can forget about sinking into the sea. After all, this is also a common method used by pirates.

But, why waste a dynamite rock?
Murphy smiled, then took out a remote control from his pocket.

This is a small remote-controlled bomb that he temporarily exchanged during the interrogation, and the bomb has been placed in the box together with the explosive rock.

At this time, Murphy saw in the picture that the rope on Vera's body had been untied, and there was a smile of the survivors on his face.

Then, he pressed the button and said to Moria at the same time, "Of course it's watching the fireworks..."

boom!
A loud roar sounded.

A purple halo spread from the bottom of the sea.

Within the range of the explosion, no matter whether it was the creatures in the sea or the people on the bottom of the sea, they all turned into nothingness in an instant.

And the medium-sized ship on the sea was directly lifted into the sky by the soaring waves, and it was broken into pieces.

……

Boom boom boom!
There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Sir Chris, we have the latest information about Murphy."

A staff member stood at the door with a document.

"let it go."

"Yes."

After the staff left, Chris immediately opened the sealed document.

The level of information about Murphy has been raised to the highest level, and information of this level will be sent to Chris's office as soon as possible.

Chris flipped through it, and then frowned.

"Did it come from Vera?" Stracey swung the coffee in her hand, looking away from the ripples in the cup.

Seeing Chris' solemn expression, she thought that this information should be very important.

And at such a stage, if there is any important information about Murphy, it is probably passed by Vera.

If the guess is right, there should be a copy of the same information on her desk now.

After all, she is Vera's immediate supervisor.

"See for yourself."

It's just that Chris didn't answer Stracey's question, but put the file on the edge of the table directly, with a heavy tone in his tone.

"Huh?" Stracey keenly noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, she hurried to the table and picked up the documents.

"Vera!?" Stracey yelled after just one glance.

boom!
The palms involuntarily let go.

The coffee cup fell straight down and shattered on the ground.

The clean white trousers were covered with coffee stains, just like Stracey's face, gloomy.
