Chapter 46: Captain Skeleton
Tonight, the moonlight was not so clear, and the moon hid behind the clouds, and through the gaps in the clouds, there was just a beam of moonlight shining on our pirate ship.
I hadn't been out at night before, so I didn't expect to see such a scene.
In the light of the moon, the pirate ship also showed its original face.
The ship is no longer as brand new as it used to be, and the signs of age are very visible.
The crew below were no longer the same as I had seen before, and now they were skeletons, and although they had no flesh and skin, they could see a lot of impurities on the bones.
"What is this?"
"It's a curse, and it could be a punishment!"
I didn't speak, I was stunned by the sight in front of me.
"It's a punishment for our greed, a curse from the gods, and of course, a curse from the devil."
"What's going on?"
"Do you smell it? The breath of the sea breeze, this is the smell of the sea, he intoxicates us, we have been pursuing the sea all our lives, yearning for the sea to walk. ”
"Now, we've made it!"
"It's become what it is now, people are not people, ghosts are not ghosts."
"Have you ever tasted the food?"
The bearded man asked me this question suddenly, and although it was a little sudden, I answered him quickly.
"Of course, it's delicious."
"Yes! We don't know how many years we haven't tasted food. ”
"We won't be hungry and we won't be able to taste. The sweet juice of the fruits, the chewiness of the meat, the freshness of the vegetables, the smell of wine, and even the smell of the sea breeze cannot be smelled! ”
"We are not dead and we are not alive."
"We can't die, but we can feel the pain!"
"No one understands us, we get what we want, but we lose the ability to enjoy it."
"It's definitely a pain in the ass for us pirates."
The crew below did not speak, nor did the bearded man speak after saying this, looking up at the sky, to be precise, at the moon.
The sea was not so calm and rough at this time, but it did not cause any harm to our ship.
The bearded man took out the big dry tobacco out of nowhere, the long cigarette stick, lit it and took two puffs, and the smoke floated out of the bones, enveloping the beard in the smoke.
"This curse has so many harms, but it's also good, isn't it?"
"Because we are not living people, we can't die, and we are not afraid of this health hazard, we can smoke as much as we want."
He took another puff as he spoke.
Watching the smoke come out of the bearded body, I couldn't help but be in a trance, this picture, it seems that I have seen it somewhere!
"This skeleton keeps us from dying, and we have also gone to many places that you can't go, and have seen the most wonderful scenes in the world, and of course the price is very large, and no one can share it."
"We're about to get tired of telling these stories."
"I wouldn't mind hearing from you if I could."
The bearded man looked back at me suddenly.
The beard had no eyes, but I could feel him looking at me, and he looked straight at me.
This kind of direct gaze makes me hairy.
After a long while, the bearded man spoke again.
"You can only listen to one! I can only tell you one! You've figured it out. ”
I nodded in understanding.
After the bearded man said this, he took care of himself and smoked a big dry cigarette over there.
This beard is the same, but that's right, the beard is this urine.
In the face of this group of terrible bones, I don't feel the slightest fear now, it should be that I got along with them too well before, and suddenly becoming like this is also psychologically uneasy, but in fact it didn't have a terrible impact on me.
I even thought the skeletons looked familiar, and I couldn't help but shudder when the thought came to me.
"Bearded, you guys, what's going on?"
The bearded man looked at me and said, "As you can see, you're in front of a bunch of crazy people. ”
The crew below went about their business, and the scene seemed a little oozing to me.
"Before, you said, 'It's just another time!' What's going on with this? ”
"It may have been a long time ago, probably for a long time, I don't know, it's a long, long time anyway."
"The earliest time we can go back is, well, probably around the Middle Ages in Europe."
"At that time, we were still normal people, and at that time in Europe, I remember that the Black Death broke out, and the place where the Black Death went was almost full of corpses."
"The Black Death?"
"Yes, the Black Death is actually a plague, and all patients who get this disease will have many dark spots on their skin, and then collapse all over the body, become delirious, have a high fever, and finally die of pain, so at that time, we called this special plague 'Black Death'!"
"At the time, the people on your side called it the 'plague.'"
"There were a lot of doctors at that time, a lot! But there are very few real doctors! ”
"There are a lot of non-human treatments that have been proposed, and real doctors feel that these unconventional non-human treatments are unscientific and stand up for it."
"The consequences can be imagined, blind and ignorant human beings, stupidly chose to believe the words of those false doctors, and forced these real doctors to death, and the surviving doctors did not dare to stand up and speak."
"But, at this time, according to convention, there will always be those who are not afraid of death to stand up, but at that time, I was really scared, and no one stood up."
"The fake doctor spread rumors in his senior year, and there are all kinds of bizarre versions."
"At this time, there is a doctor who is not afraid of death who stands up and exposes the false rumors of their purchase, but it is a pity that people are frightened by the impact of death and dare not admit it."
"It's also to blame that the doctor at that time was not skilled enough, and when he first opened it, he also treated many people, and people thought that this doctor was a representative of evil."
"Wherever this doctor goes, it's going to cause a massive Black Death. Thankfully, the doctor wasn't alone. ”
"On the way to save people, I met a lot of like-minded people, although their motives are different, but the purpose is the same."
"After they found an effective cure, they came from somewhere that there was a small island in the sea where there were fairy-like characters living in it, and finding him would cure the Black Death at that time."
"This group of people stupidly believed, and after a lot of hardships, they finally arrived on that island and found that fairy-like person, but who knew that it was the devil!"
"After signing a contract with that fairy-like person, they knew that I had been tricked, and that contract was not a cure for the Black Death, but a betrayal of everything they had to the devil."
"At that time, they didn't know the situation, they just thought that they had a cure for the Black Death, and drove the boat back, but just when they were about to get to land, a change happened."
"The skin of these people began to fester, and they fell down piece by piece, and finally all the flesh fell off, and they became horrible bones."
"At that time, they were scared stupid, one by one went crazy, and no one could imagine why they suddenly became like this."
"It was impossible for them to return to shore like this, so they turned the ship around and drifted in the sea, wherever they were."
"When something goes wrong, they don't know where they are or how much time has passed."
"Finally someone began to formalize themselves, slowly accepted themselves as they were, and began to analyze what the situation was like at that time."
"In the end they accepted that they had become skeletons, and they had been adrift at sea, and they were cursed."
"The general curse is that you can't live or die, you don't know what hunger is, what is full, you don't know what comfort is, what is tired, and you can't taste everything."
"It's not just themselves who are cursed, but even the ship."
"That ship stayed with them for a long time."
