11. Opening
It was already late at night when Captain Poirot walked out of the main ship tent with his long and thick legs.
Generally, people with confidence can see through the posture of walking. They never bow their heads, and rarely look absent-minded or tangled, and their gaits will never be introverted. Lifting and relaxing represent the unique nature of cautious characters. If they are not steady and steady, they will definitely be striding and swaying.
Captain Poirot belongs to the latter. He stalked with his head and walked with great momentum. Such a person, facing a guy who was introverted and often looked a little gloomy, would definitely be extremely disliked if he could not smile and pat his shoulder tolerate it.
In front of me was a guy he disliked.
"What are you doing here? Hum? Coward?" He glared at Lu Jia who was blocking everything on the road, and let out a hoarse laugh: "Ha, are you waiting for me? Coward is waiting for me?"
Swish ~
The blade was pressed coldly against Poirot's neck again.
"I knew you were not used to your neck leaving my knife. It seems like this." Lu Jia smiled slightly.
"You chop? Cut! Pretending to be coward! I thought I would be scared by you? You didn't dare." Captain Poirot clenched the joints on his fist and smiled grimly: "If you don't have the courage to chop down, let me help you loosen your muscles and bones, how about it?"
"Bored." Lu Jia put away his knife, turned around and left.
Captain Poirot was stunned, then rushed over like a whirlwind: "Hey! The coward put the knife around my neck three times, so why would he want to leave?"
"I didn't say you can't follow me." Lu Jia stared at the fist near the tip of his nose: "You idiot."
"Who do you say is a fool?" Poirot was furious.
"Of course it's you. Only idiots think that I'm stopping you just to compete with you for a knife." Lu Jia sneered.
"Damn...you're going to tell me... why did you stop me?"
Lu Jia ticked the corner of his mouth: "You don't need to ask more questions, just come with me."
He walked around the big man's fist and continued to walk in the predetermined direction.
Poirot was stunned for a moment, stood there for a while with gritted teeth, and then followed with blue veins.
After following a few steps, Pologaba clenched his fists: "Coward, what do you want to do?"
"I didn't want to do anything... but someone wanted to do something." Lu Jia glanced at the idiot who had taken the hook, and kept it silently, but was calculating every step in his mind. The information collected was enough, and the originally vague situation also touched a contour. Lu Jia needed a helper.
To deal with an opponent hidden in the dark, Lu Jia needs a hand, a ear, and a prop that can produce miraculous effects at critical moments. After observation, Lu Jia confirmed that Captain Poirot perfectly met these standards.
After observing for a period of time, please let Lu Jia know what kind of person he is, impulsive, brainless, brave and careless. With this kind of person's personality, even if he has some personal grudges with the person played by Lu Jia, if he did not settle the personal grudges at the time of making grudges, he would not really take this kind of thing seriously in the future. It is a "special relationship" that is easy to use.
As the absolute confidant of the fleet commander, he may not necessarily show a prominent role at any time.
More importantly, this person is stupid and easy to control.
Of course, it is not ruled out that this guy is an actor with outstanding acting skills, but the slight possibility is enough for Lu Jia to take a risk.
Besides, Lu Jia was not unprepared for putting him beside him. Once something went wrong, he would react quickly.
Lu Jia stopped in front of a sea cliff. He held his right armpit with his left hand, and gently pressed the fingers of his index finger with his half-clenched fist against the tip of his nose - this is an action that a person who often thinks about often subconsciously makes.
Captain Poirot next to him was so anxious that he couldn't wait: "What are you doing?"
"Look at it." Lu Jia smiled and glanced at a cave in the distance: "Where is that?"
"Damn it, that's the place to preserve the holy artifact." Poirot gritted his teeth and stared at Lu Jia's face, wishing to smash the annoying face with a punch: "What are you bringing me here for?"
"Because there is a spy from the Necromancer to come to destroy it tonight."
"What?" Lu Jia said in a shocking voice, but Captain Poirot looked surprised, as if he had seen a Martian, looking at Lu Jia: "Ha, you coward are kidding?" He pointed to the dense guards around the cave: "You are the elite guards of the main ship who grow up eating grass?"
"Believe it or not, the guard will definitely make mistakes in a few hours, and the spy will definitely get in through their gaps."
"What joke are you talking about? The gap? How could such a thing happen?" Captain Poirot chuckled and guarded the gap in patrol. He admitted that there must be. This area is a little larger and the terrain of the island is not very flat. It is impossible for the guards of more than 200 people to be on guard at any place. There will definitely be gaps between the patrols, but it would be a joke if outsiders can catch these gaps and get in.
Unless someone can know the patrol map, it is simply an impossible task...
"Ha, it turns out that you are not just a coward, but also a lunatic." Polo laughed.
"Don't believe it?" Lu Jia raised his lips: "Do we want to make a bet?"
"Betting? What are you betting?" Captain Poirot grinned.
"I bet that the spy will definitely visit before dawn. If I win, you will listen to me next."
"Listen to you, you coward?" Captain Poirot snorted coldly: "Why? What if you lose?"
"You have the final say." Lu Jia said with a smile.
"Oh? I have the final say...hahaha." Captain Polo clenched his fist and smiled coldly in his eyes: "I want to make your disgusting smiley face into a cookie."
"It's up to you." Lu Jia kept smiling: "If you win."
...
Waiting is a worrying chore, especially waiting for hopelessness.
Lu Jia was sure that if there was no temptation of 'If you win the bet, you could shoot his smile into a cookie', Captain Poirot would never have such good patience, and yawned and waited with him for several hours.
His sense of time was clearly recorded, five hours and nine minutes, which was enough to make people with good patience collapse.
Although it was far from Lu Jia's psychological limit, Captain Poirot was already grinning, and the green light in Lu Jia's sight became more and more abundant.
Lu Jia was very calm. If he had no confidence, how could he expect to infect others? It was under the influence of this confidence that Captain Poirot endured it and kept silent.
But patience always reaches its limit. Poirot stood up and tapped on the stone beside him: "Damn, you are playing tricks on me, coward, how can there be any spy?"
"Calm down, idiot, you will scare the spy away." Lu Jia whispered.
"Scare away? Don't try to play with me anymore, you coward." Poirot glared with his eyes wide and waved his fists angrily: "Damn, I see you are the most sneaky person. I knew it ten years ago that you have never been a good thing."
"Quiet!" Looking at Polo's furious thunder, Lu Jia couldn't help but take out his waist knife and put it on his neck again: "I'm not going to blow the cool breeze here for a few hours to play with a fool..."
"Damn...you..." Poirot was about to curse, but suddenly stopped, looking at Lu Jia with a steady look, as if he had seen something incredible.
Lu Jia frowned and used a very careful posture. While guarding against Poirot's fraud, he turned around and saw a vaguely squirming shadow in the distance.
Sure enough, it's here...
Lu Jia's eyelids twitched.
He guessed it.
...
Hmm, continue to ask for recommendation votes.
