Chapter 1159: Weird Tavern
The city of Dolls is not very big and the street is not long either. It took Zhang Tuohai half an hour to reach the end.
But Zhang Tuohai went to every doll shop on the street, but he couldn't find the kind of dolls the pirates had.
"That's weird. They're not sold in the store. So where did these guys get their dolls from?"
Zhang Tuohai walked around the street twice but couldn't find the root cause of the problem.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Tuohai decided to go back to the boat to have a meal before thinking about what to do.
As for the things in the Doll City, he was not going to eat them until he got to the bottom of the matter.
What if those pirates became like this because they were drunk?
"liquor!"
A flash of thought flashed through Zhang Tuohai's mind: is it possible that these pirate dolls were not bought from a regular doll shop, but obtained in a tavern?
After all, given the personalities of these pirates, they wouldn't go to a doll shop, right?
With a new breakthrough, Zhang Tuohai wanted to check it out immediately, but found that the pubs in the city were closed during the day and only opened at night.
"Then wait until tonight!"
Zhang Tuohai slowly returned to the boat.
"What's the situation?" Zhang Tuohai asked.
"Everything is normal. No one wants to get on the ship, and no one wants to get off the ship. Even the pirates are very quiet. Everyone hugs their dolls and doesn't move."
said Polly the Parrot.
"So obedient ? I'll go take a look?"
Although he knew that the pirates had become abnormal, Zhang Tuohai was still shocked that these pirates, who were bored and started a mast climbing competition the day before, could stay in the cabin for the whole day the next day.
This is a distortion of human nature.
Zhang Tuohai quickly came to the cabin door, where two fully armed Unsullied were guarding the door.
"No one has come out?" Zhang Tuohai asked.
"No one came out. They didn't even have the intention to come out. Miss Yin Lisha Bai even came to deliver a meal once, which was a freshly made roast chicken, but no one ate it. They all hugged the doll and didn't let go for a moment."
An Unsullied said.
"Open the door and let me see." Zhang Tuohai said.
The Unsullied opened the gate.
After the door opened, the scene inside shocked Zhang Tuohai again.
All the pirates were lying obediently on the floor, hugging the puppets in their arms and whispering to each other. A bucket of cold roast chicken was placed on the table next to them.
All the roast chickens remained the same as when they were delivered, even the fat skin was not lost.
This was simply unimaginable for those greedy and lustful pirates.
You know, when Elizabeth Yin took over the kitchen and made the first roast chicken, the pirates chewed up the chicken bones and ate them, without wasting any.
It is simply unimaginable that it can be placed here without being moved at all.
What made people feel the most frightened was that the puppets in the pirates' arms were all staring at Zhang Tuohai with a half-smile on their faces, which made people feel a chill down their spines.
After staring at the puppets for a while, Zhang Tuohai asked the Unsullied to close the door.
Although he barely had enough men now, and controlling the sails saved him a large number of manpower, the loss of this group of pirates was not unacceptable now.
But after all, they are the original team. If possible, Zhang Tuohai does not want to lose them so quickly.
He planned to go to the pub in the city that night to find out the root cause of the problem. If it could be solved, that would be great. If not, he would think of other ways.
"First, keep them under strict guard and temporarily cut off their contact with the outside world. If anyone tries to get out, kill them directly."
Zhang Tuohai said to the guard at the door.
"clear."
The Unsullied nodded in response.
The good thing about them is that they can faithfully carry out all of Zhang Tuohai's orders, no matter whether they are reasonable or not.
After having dinner on the boat, Zhang Tuohai moved a chair and sat on the deck to watch the sunset.
After the sun set , the lights in Doll Town gradually went out, and the lights in several pubs in the dock area lit up.
"It's time to go and have a look."
Zhang Tuohai stood up, got off the White Bird and walked into the port area.
Zhang Tuohai found a brightly lit pub and walked in.
When I pushed open the heavy wooden door, there was neither the heat wave nor the noisy drinkers as I had imagined.
On the contrary, it is deserted, strangely deserted.
At first, Zhang Tuohai thought that there were no customers, so the pub was very quiet.
But when he looked around the lobby, he saw that dozens of tables were almost all occupied by drinkers. All of them had unshaven beards and looked like sailors who had been wandering on the sea for years. They were wearing tattered clothes and were all sitting there drinking without saying a word.
After discovering that the door of the tavern was opened, these people all stared at Zhang Tuohai with a half-smile on their face.
Zhang Tuohai felt his scalp tingling at this situation.
Because the smiles on their faces look very much like the smiles on those puppets' faces.
"This is probably the place, right?"
Zhang Tuohai had some guesses in his mind.
He placed one hand on the demon's roar and walked towards the bar.
"New customer? The first beer is free, it's my treat, but you have to pay for the rest."
The bartender said as he placed a glass of golden beer on the table.
"Let your boss come out, or the puppet merchant."
Zhang Tuohai sat on the chair but did not touch the glass of wine.
The bartender didn't say anything, but just kept wiping the glasses.
At this time, a prostitute in simple clothes walked over slowly, sat next to Zhang Tuohai, and said with a smile: "My dear, if you have something to ask the boss, why don't you ask me? Why don't we do something interesting?"
As the prostitute spoke, she had already placed her hand on Zhang Tuohai's thigh and moved upwards.
"roll!"
The next second, Zhang Tuohai had already pointed the gun at the prostitute's head.
However, the prostitute did not show the panic she should have shown. Instead, she looked at Zhang Tuohai with a half-smile.
The expression was exactly the same as the look on the dolls around the pirates.
"Grass!"
Zhang Tuohai felt like he had a bit of PTSD. Seeing this expression, he subconsciously pulled the trigger.
Moreover, the fire burst mode was activated.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and a huge fireball hit the woman's head.
The woman's head was instantly shattered.
However, the expected scene of blood and flesh splattering did not occur.
Instead, there was a scene of crumbling wood chips.
The woman's curvy body also turned into a wooden doll connected by hemp ropes.
The doll fell to the ground, and it looked exactly like the dolls around the pirates, except that it was missing its head.
