Chapter 362: Death Illusion
After pretending to be a good B that fits the role, Tang Juyi also asked rhetorically:
"What about you? Have you seen an ominous shadow in your tribe and have come to find out? β
Emile learned from Tang Juyi's sloppy behavior, and responded noncommittally:
"It's a very good guess, it's worthy of being an onmyoji."
I can hear that the other party has no intention of telling the truth, and Tang Juyi doesn't care, anyway, the two of them are allies on the surface, but in fact, they are both wary of each other's black hands, which is nothing incomprehensible.
The people on the ship gradually gathered, and some of the smart people were already trying to gather information and talk to the people around them, while the confident ones were reluctant to talk to prevent anyone from inquiring about them.
At this time, the confused young man also walked up to Tang Juyi and Amir, who had been sitting on the side of the cargo box, and walked over with an embarrassed smile, as if he wanted to shake hands with the two:
"Excuse me, excuse meβ"
Before Amir could speak, Tang Juyi had already pulled the hem of his coat a little, revealing the pistol hanging from his waist, and at the same time showed an indifferent expression:
"Since you know it's an interruption, it's better to walk away early."
The young man's movements froze, and the smile on his face dissipated a little, and then quickly disguised the past, revealing a frightened look:
"Okay, okay, I'll go!"
Then, he turned his head and trotted away in embarrassment, and after running away, he didn't forget to sneak a glance at Tang Juyi, but he just happened to look at Tang Juyi's ill-intentioned smiling face, and suddenly his heart sank:
"He's a tough guy to deal with......"
Driving away the man who had been pretending to be innocent, Tang Juyi continued to leisurely look at the sea view, and at the same time tried to extract some clues from Amir with a thief's heart:
"Can I know what kind of guidance you see in me?"
Emile was very vigilant and guarded:
"The guidelines must not be spoken, otherwise they will lead to calamity, as our predecessors have repeatedly warned us about."
Tang Juyi let out an "oh" and nodded:
"It's true, the heavens must not be revealed...... It seems that your predecessors do have some real materials. β
As he spoke, Tang Juyi changed his words and asked Amir's opinion on Deathcurse Island:
"Is that island full of ominousness in your eyes?"
Emile stared into the distant Isle of the Cursed:
"Yes, even from this distance, I can clearly feel the biting cold. Even in the face of ten thousand burials, I have never felt this way. β
Tang Juyi seemed to have suddenly discovered something, and looked at Emir with a very suspicious gaze:
"The prophets of the northern tribes have seen such a thing as the Ten Thousand Burial Sinkhole? Your tribe's culture is somewhat unexpected. β
Hearing Tang Juyi's words, Emile realized that he had lost his words, and reacted quickly and perfunctorily:
"Although we are a small clan, I have seen many things that I have never heard of over the years."
Tang Juyi nodded thoughtfully, already knowing in his heart that the so-called "Ten Thousand Burial Heavenly Pits" was most likely the task that Emir had experienced in places like the dimensional world before.
"The dimensional task that can appear in the Ten Thousand Burial Sinkhole should also be the most difficult type of the spirit...... Maybe it's a torture level, maybe even a nightmare......"
In this way, the Emir in front of him is most likely a person who has participated in dimensional tasks of torturing the above difficulties, so he will not necessarily be weaker than Tang Juyi in terms of experience in facing difficult tasks.
As the ship approached Deathcurse Island, a light rain suddenly fell in the sky, and the cold rain began to become dense from a few o'clock in time, and it was not long before the people on the deck were drenched.
"Experiencing rainy days at sea doesn't bode well."
Emile looked up at the increasingly dark clouds, his face a little solemn.
Tang Juyi didn't care about this, and he didn't bother to care if his clothes would get wet, he just stared at Death Curse Island.
Feeling the rain on his face and looking through the rain curtain, Tang Juyi suddenly saw some distorted pictures in the haze.
The outline of the Death Curse Island in front of him quickly enlarged, and it seemed to be approaching Tang Juyi at an incredible speed, and the shape of the island was gradually clear, revealing a hideous mountain.
Tang Juyi fell into a state where he couldn't breathe and couldn't speak, and his heart was shocked, but he couldn't control his body, and he couldn't do anything to resist.
The people around him disappeared one by one, as if he was the only one left on the entire ship to face the sea monster-like islands and mountains.
The gray sky couldn't suppress the horror emanating from this island, as if it was about to turn into a giant beast that covered the sky and the sun, jumping up from the boundless waves and dragging Tang Juyi into the abyss.
And in this uncontrollable fear, Tang Juyi saw the tentacles rising from the sea.
It's like an octopus magnified by an unknown number of times, with thick and moist tentacles with dense suckers, poking out from the bottomless blue-black deep sea, like a flower bud that is gradually closing, enveloping the entire Deathcursed Island.
Not only that, Tang Juyi even heard a nickname from the depths of the ocean in his ears, the content of which is unknown, but it will make people collapse their minds.
Bang!
Tang Juyi fell to his knees, panting violently like a drowning man being pulled ashore, as if every breath would take great strength.
The vision in front of him became blurry and confused, Tang Juyi couldn't even see the lines of the planks on the soles of his feet, he only felt that everything was covered by seawater, even his body, he was sinking towards the deep sea, sinking into the invisible bottom.
This feeling of suffocation is like a beast waiting for an opportunity to move, brutally tearing Tang Juyi, but Tang Juyi's will is also fighting against this erosion, although it is painful, but it is trying its best to keep Qingming.
Soon, the nickname in his ears gradually disappeared, and the sound that destroyed people's minds no longer acted on Tang Juyi's spirit, and the feeling of suffocation slowly receded, like those cold sea waters.
Amir's voice gradually became clearer, and Tang Juyi realized that she was kneeling beside him, trying to awaken his senses:
"Breathe, try to keep your breath ......"
"Are you alright......"
"What's wrong with you, what ...... you see"
The spasms of the muscles due to fear were still continuing, and although Tang Juyi got out of that terror, the palpitation reaction of his body was still continuing.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty, and finally calmed his breathing a little, and it was no longer as rapid as before:
"I'm fine...... It's just that...... There was a little bit of an accident......"
Amir's face gradually focused in Tang Juyi's afterglow, and he looked very worried:
"Is it really okay? You don't look like you're in great shape. β
Tang Juyi waved his hand lightly, signaling that he was okay, and then was helped up by Amir and barely stood up.
Leaning on the cargo box, Tang Juyi was already drenched in heavy rain, so that the sweat on his body would not be seen.
Amir patted him on the back, and his tone became a little solemn:
"You must have seen some signs? Otherwise, there would not have been such a strange move...... Unless you're going to prevaricate me with epilepsy or something? β
However, before Tang Juyi could explain, another voice came from the side, from a slightly majestic man:
"It's not surprising, he just saw what's behind the island. In fact, this is not an isolated case. β
Both Emile and Tang Juyi turned their heads, only to see the captain they had first met on deck.
The man with a beard covering half of his face didn't mind the heavy rain that soaked his uniform, and looked at the weak Tang Juyi with a deep gaze:
"Since more than half a year ago, people have been hallucinating in this way, claiming to have seen monsters under the Isle of Deathdamned. It doesn't matter what they call what they see, sea monsters, trolls, or whatever......"
"The only important thing is that the people who had these hallucinations have already died at the bottom of the sea."
