Chapter 60: The Power of Greed
Well, now, as long as I have these gold jewels, I can get everything I want, there is nothing that money can't buy, I don't have to look at anyone's face anymore, and I won't serve you anymore.
I don't need to look for any more shipwrecks and treasures, it's full of treasures, and I don't want to unravel the secrets of this chart, even if it's a big secret, it doesn't matter to me.
I don't want to know who the man in black is, his mother's, who he wants to be, I'm not interested in knowing, and what is the dead eunuch called Liu Qian, whether he is dead or alive is my business, I will never be busy for those useless things anymore, everything here is what I want, this is the purpose of my long-term sea, this is what my heart desires.
These things are mine, yes, all of them are mine, as long as I have these gold jewelry, I still have to worry about anything, in the future, I don't have to worry about money anymore, I can enjoy myself for a lifetime, I can live as I want, I laughed, I finally had to taste what I wanted, I finally waited for this day to come.
I hurried over and grabbed a box, and pulled it out, but it was so heavy that I tried my best to keep it moving.
Wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't remove so much gold, and I couldn't leave a single box, I had to take it all, and with these treasures, my family would have endless glory and wealth for generations to come.
But I was tired and sweaty, and I couldn't pull a box out, I just moved a box a little, or the small box with jade pearls inside, those big boxes full of gold and silver ingots, I couldn't even push it.
What can I do? I sat on the ground tired, looking at these treasures in a daze, tired for a long time, one thing has not been moved, so much gold, I must not leave it to them, I want to take it all, I must take it all, let them continue to wander around here.
I felt like I was going crazy, and just as I was about to reach for the gold bars, my head seemed to be electrocuted, and suddenly it hurt, and the pain was jumping and jumping, like an electric baton hitting my head.
I quickly crouched down and covered my head with my hands, and suddenly a picture flashed in my mind of a sailor touching the so-called gold jewels under the deep sea, and the gold turned into a black gas, killing him in an instant.
I woke up suddenly, this is the picture in the shipwreck forbidden land, and my current situation is almost the same as it was then, so the gold and silver in front of me are probably also illusory, maybe this is another trap.
But what the hell happened to me? Why did I have such a desire for this gold in my heart, and even the affection of our companions left behind, I suddenly realized a very important question, which may have something to do with the power of the ancient ship.
When I saw these gold, I was really a little tempted at first, I wonder who would not be moved when he saw these gold jewelry, as long as he was a mortal, he would not be able to have this worldly mentality.
But this is just a thought, but according to Jiao Ba, even a trace of thought will be expanded countless times by the power of the ancient ship, and my previous psychological dynamics must have been disturbed by the power of the ancient ship, but this power seems to not only expand the desires of human hearts, it can also control people's mentality and emotions, which I am sure of, all the situations we have encountered before have shown this.
I must keep calm, I can't let the power of the ancient ship control me, or I will be doomed, once this power penetrates into my heart, I will become a slave to desire.
But as soon as I thought about it, my head began to hurt again, and it hurt even more than just now, and I immediately fell to my knees on the ground, holding my head in my hands and screaming in pain, and my head was about to explode, and I felt my whole head swelling outward.
At this time, a ghost voice that was neither male nor female sounded in his ear, "Isn't this what you think in your heart?" Don't you just want these treasures? ”
"Yes, I want treasure, but I will never be at your mercy." I fell to my knees, my head held high, and the sound came from every corner of the cabin, but I couldn't see where it was, let alone who it was.
"Hehehaha, your heart is full of desire, I promise you, as long as you kill your companions, these treasures will all belong to you." It's like a magic sound that always stimulates my brain.
"No, I can't do that, I can't do that." I yelled heartbreakingly, the headache getting stronger and stronger, I felt like I couldn't resist the force anymore, I suddenly fell to the ground, and my whole body began to tremble violently.
"You can't refuse me, because this is your heart's desire, and I'm just helping you fulfill it." The sound was sometimes in, sometimes distant, sometimes ethereal, sometimes clear, like a cassette cassette of a radio, always intermittent.
"No, I never, who are you? What exactly do you want? I fell to the ground and said weakly, I felt like I was going to die, I couldn't see my surroundings clearly, the golden light, my eyes were dazzling.
"I am the desire of your heart, you can't refuse me, don't you really want to get this gold? Now you can have it, go ahead, go get this gold, it's yours, it's all yours, hehehahaha"
The sound was like a spell, down my ears and into my brain, and soon took over my entire mind, and even what little sanity I had in my heart was erased by it.
"All this gold belongs to me, I want to take it, I want to take it all, I can't let anyone get it, whoever dares to rob me of these treasures, I will take someone's life." I rolled over and crawled towards the chest full of gold in front of me.
Seeing that the gold was getting closer and closer to me, and the desire in my heart began to increase endlessly, I smiled evilly, and with a greedy look, I reached forward to grab the gold bars.
But at this time, my brain hurt again, and some of the past appeared in my mind, including Jiao Ba, Shunzi, as well as Li Xin and Jenny, each of them had a smile lingering in front of my eyes, as if they were talking to me about something.
My sanity returned, and the intense headache was like a bullet piercing my head, and I was struggling on the ground in pain, like a spider crawling around in my body, which was worse than death.
The voice in my ear, which is neither male nor female, continues, "You can't resist desire, you can't resist desire, this is what you want, you are a greedy person, you are a villain who is extremely greedy in your heart, you suspect your brother, and kill your companion, you are a slave of money, you will always be a slave of money, you can't escape." ”
"I didn't, I didn't, I didn't." I shouted frantically, raised my gun, and aimed it at the gold in front of me, and when the two shots rang out, the whole cabin seemed to fall silent, and the devil's voice that had been haunting my ears disappeared.
The original glittering gold and silver also lost its previous dazzling light, when the dazzling golden light disappeared, the cabin fell into endless darkness, only the flashlight next to me, was emitting a faint light, the battery was already insufficient, and the flashlight was not as bright as before.
My headache began to slowly subside, I lay on the ground and gasped for breath, in such a cold ancient ship, I was almost soaked, the sweat on my forehead, all the way down my cheeks, I felt as if I had just crawled back from the ghost gate.
This struggle is even more tiring than when I faced the white wolf and the ice demon, if my will was a little worse, I would not be able to fight the power of this ancient ship, but this time, I was lucky to escape, those two shots, purely blind.
I rolled over and lay on the ice, let my tired body relieve it, I was too tired, it seems that the long march is nothing more than that, some people say, mental torture, is the most painful, it seems that this sentence is not false at all, if my spirit is tortured, even if I don't die, I have to go crazy.
After a few minutes, I struggled to get up from the ground, I shone my flashlight around, and smiled helplessly, it turned out that these so-called gold and silver were just some frozen stones.
But the true color of these stones, but black, looks like the shipwreck forbidden land, those black face stones that have turned into gold, primaitly, it should be the same kind of stone, I immediately gasped, this is because I didn't touch it, if my hand touches this ghost, once it has a chemical reaction, change into black gas, I will be eroded into a shriveled black skeleton in an instant.
I took two steps back, my heart was still very turbulent, this time without anyone's help, I was able to survive, I don't know who to thank, maybe it was the gods' favor that spared me a life.
The power of the hexagonal magic circle is really strong, so strong that I can't imagine it at all, no wonder Jiao Bahui has a sad face on the road, this time we are facing is definitely the biggest difficulty so far.
I thought about it calmly, the power released by the ancient ship just now must be greedy, when I was greedy, it took advantage of the void, expanded my inner thoughts several times, and even reversed my mentality, even if I wanted to take away the gold, I couldn't enjoy it alone, this is everyone's wealth, I have no right to enjoy it exclusively.
It may be that it is precisely because the power of the ancient ship has distorted my mentality that my original sanity has been restored, and if it had developed according to my train of thought, I would probably have touched the gold turned by these black-faced stones, but fortunately it distorted my mentality, otherwise I would have died.
