Chapter 2 The Demonic Sea and People Falling from the Sky (2)
The visitor gradually appeared in the candlelight.
He is wearing a neat and clean tuxedo with a pink bow tie; on his feet is a pair of polished leather shoes; on his hands is a pair of white gloves; in his hand is a walking cane; on his face is an old oval mask, which is completely Every face is covered by a mask. There was a gray scarf around his neck, a thick afro, and a small round hat that was worn crookedly on his head. The whole person was wrapped tightly.
"Thank you for your understanding. But I have already said that I will never laugh at other people's looks. No matter how weird you look, I will not have the slightest dislike. Besides, looks are given by our parents, and we have no right to refuse. ."
"Also, thank you for bandaging my wound. But having said that, you are really tall, almost beyond my common sense."
Looking at the simple mask on the face of their savior, who was well over two meters tall, the group said in surprise.
After talking so much in a row, he even felt a little tired. It seemed that the injury was serious enough, but he was lucky to survive.
"Okay, I'm willing to take off the mask, but you have to be mentally prepared. Also, my name is Brooke, I am a musician and the captain of this ship. You can call me by my first name or I’m Captain Brooke.”
While briefly introducing himself, Brooke slowly took off the mask on his face, revealing his true appearance. What appeared in front of the group was a skull with no facial features.
"What kind of monster are you?"
The skeleton general who appeared under the mask broke into a cold sweat. Even though he had been fully prepared, he was still frightened.
"Hohohoho, I'm so excited. I haven't seen a living person for a long time. It's so boring to endure the pain of being alone every day, drifting on the endless sea, talking to myself alone."
The skeleton who called himself Brooke suddenly became extremely nervous and said excitedly.
"You monster, why don't you show your true form after death?"
Struggling to cross his legs, form seals, and recite mantras, his hands glowed with bursts of light golden Buddha light. Holding back the bursts of pain in his body, he discharged his palms, and bursts of golden light swept towards the skeleton in front of him.
The golden Buddha light hit the skeleton named Brooke, but it did not have the expected effect. When the golden light dissipated, the cabin returned to its original darkness.
"This"
Struggling to get into position again, he took a deep breath, formed seals, and recited a mantra. The golden light became more intense than before, and the entire bedroom was illuminated extremely brightly by the golden light. The group gritted their teeth, resisting the severe pain of the wounds on their bodies, and once again struck the bewildered skeleton standing in front of the bed with a palm strike. The surging golden light hit the unresisting skeleton again just like before.
The golden light attached to the skeleton gradually dissipated, and the cabin fell into darkness for the second time. The skeleton was still unscathed.
"This is impossible"
Taking a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the fear in their hearts, the group slowly moved their bodies, which were aching from the wounds, and leaned against the wall tightly, trying to keep the distance from the skeleton monster as far as possible.
"Is this hell? What kind of monster are you? Why is Buddhism ineffective on you? Even if your magic skills are high and you are unprepared to be purified by the Buddha's light, you will not be unscathed."
Just as Yi Xing said, the skeleton monster was attacked twice by the Purifying Dharma and was really unscathed. However, what puzzles him even more is that he believes deeply in Buddhism, so why would he be sentenced to hell after death?
"My name is Brooke. I was a musician when I was alive, and I still am, of course."
Pulling the chair next to the bed, Skeleton Brook sat on it and crossed his legs.
"This is my pirate ship. By the way, I am a pirate, a pirate with only a skeleton left."
"ocean"
Feeling the gentle shaking of the wooden wall panels, the group turned their wary eyes to the window. With the help of weak candlelight, they could see the broken sails and the messy deck. Feeling the breath of the sea in the air, this is indeed a ship, or a pirate ship in distress.
"You are cursed, will you eat me? Is this the legendary sea of suffering?"
Turning his attention back to the skeleton in front of him, Yi Xing asked tentatively.
"Don't be ridiculous about eating people. Although I am often hungry, full, and often unable to eat decent food for a long time, I never eat people. By the way, I am a living skeleton. Let me say it again. , my name is Brooke, you can call me by my first name or call me Captain Brooke."
The skeleton who called himself Brooke was startled by the remarks about cannibalism. He made some exaggerated movements and at the same time solemnly introduced his origins again.
"What's going on with you? Why are you still alive even though you're only a skeleton? I listened carefully just now and felt your heartbeat. Why are you a skeleton and still have a heartbeat? And you just breathed twice and you have no lungs. How do you breathe?”
The group who gradually calmed down soon discovered something strange about the skeleton in front of them. All this is too incredible, just like the legend of the cursed skeleton in the sea.
"You have too many questions, and they cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. Please allow me to organize my thoughts and speak slowly."
Skeleton Brook stood up from the chair, walked outside the cabin, and returned with a tea set. Sitting on the chair in front of the bed again, Brooke picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea, picked up the teacup, took a sip, exhaled with satisfaction before slowly opening his mouth.
"Let me make it clear that even though I have turned into a skeleton, I can still poop. Hehehehe. Don't be angry. I'll get to the point."
The child on the bed seemed a little impatient, and Brooke immediately stopped his boring jokes.
"The reason why I am now a skeleton and still alive is because I once ate the secret treasure of the sea, an existence called a devil fruit. A devil fruit is a special fruit that can grant certain abilities to those who eat it. And what I gained is the power of resurrection, which means that as a skeleton, I have died once." Bruca couldn't help but stand up when he was so excited. When he saw a line of gestures for him to sit down, the skeleton sat down again. Returning to the chair, he said calmly.
"Why have I never heard of Devil Fruit? If there really is such a thing in the world, it is absolutely impossible that I don't know about it at all."
Leaning his back against the wall, he tried his best to change into a comfortable position. After listening to the skeleton monster's explanation, more questions emerged.
"By the way, do you really know nothing? Even in the open sea, the legend of Devil Fruit is spread among civilians. When you were a monk, you hid in the temple and chanted sutras every day. No matter how closed your life was, you couldn't You should know nothing about the outside world. Don’t you have any friends to chat with you? Hahahaha, speaking of chatting, I haven’t talked to outsiders for many years. Today I can meet a real person, I’m so happy, I’m so excited that I’m about to cry even though I don’t have eyes or a tear gland bone that can shed tears.”
He habitually took off the small round hat on his head and raised his arms to the sky at a 45-degree angle. Brooke laughed exaggeratedly, and his face without any muscles but his mouth wide open looked particularly funny.
There was no danger of being eaten for the time being, and the tense nerves gradually relaxed, and the wounds on his body began to hurt again. Waves of fatigue came over them, their vision became increasingly blurry, and they vaguely felt that the afro-headed skeleton was still amusing itself in an exaggerated way, and the group fell into sleep again.
At the same time, the spatial distance is transferred to the sea thousands of kilometers away. Here, a warship and a pirate ship are confronting each other. Awesome novel “songshu566” WeChat ID, see more
