Chapter 28: Eternal Life and Killing
Najib's eyes flashed with a strange light, but the expression on his face did not change in the slightest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info"I haven't heard of it. ”
Halim grinned, and with his devilish face, he looked very frightened, "You're lying, my old fellow. I know you too well, Najib I know, you can't speak so calmly, what are you hiding?"
Halim flipped through the old notebook, "Chap, read it to Captain Najib. ”
The young co-captain, Chap, took the note with both hands.
"June 5, 1503, fine. This is the 40th day of our departure from Calicut seaport. The Nautilus's survivor, the sailor Harpa, once told him about the discovery of a giant island near Talamassim in Borneo, where a gold-poured city was built. So I decided to reconvene my crew and embark on a new adventure. But until now, there has been no sign of the island. To make matters worse, there is not much fresh water on board. May God bless you faithful. The captain was fluent in Portuguese, and he read word by word in Malay.
"June 12th, it was rainy. It turns out that the golden city in Hapa's mouth is real, located in the middle of a huge island, and can be seen from the coastline. We showed our kindness to the local natives, gave them some spices from India, and learned that the Golden City was the king's palace. During this time, we also heard a strange legend that the king was a messenger of the gods and would never grow old or die. ”
"June 13, thunderstorm. The king of the Golden City was going to meet us at the palace, and at the dinner he told us that he was over three hundred years old, and we were all joking. The king left us to spend the night in the palace, and some sailors found out that the palace was not made of gold, but was coated with a special coat of paint that looked like gold. The sailors were carried away by the rage, they killed the king with their swords, rushed into his treasury, and I had no choice but to follow them. Merciful Lord, forgive us sinners. In the treasury, I saw a mural about the black giant giving eternal life to the king so that he could rule the country forever, and at the end of the mural, the black giant burrowed into a box and left a key. Surprisingly, I found the box in the mural in the treasure house. The escaped guards told the people that we had killed the king, and the enraged people marched to the palace with bows and spears. We fled back to the ship in a hurry with the gold, silver and jewelry, but failed to find the key in the mural. ”
"November 8th, fine. I returned to Portugal with the box and called in some of the best locksmiths in Europe, but I couldn't open it. ”
"December 17, 1504, snow. Friends in India sent news that the Golden City had been reduced to rubble and all its inhabitants had disappeared without a trace, and it was speculated that it had been swallowed up by a more powerful tribe nearby, or that there was no news of any keys. It seems that I can only take this secret to the grave. ”
Reading this, Chaap closed da Gama's logbook and handed it back to Halim.
"What did I think it was, but the nonsense of a bunch of robbers, and you believe that?" Najib said dismissively.
Halim opened the notebook again, and one of the pages drew a strange box, a crystal clear box, the whole box was so integrated that there was no crack in sight, but inside it contained a pyramid made of gold. On the page next to the box, a sword-shaped crystal key is drawn.
"I didn't believe it until I got this. Then he took out a small box from his bosom, exactly like the one drawn in his notebook, and the pyramid inside shone brightly in the sun.
At this time, Najib's shocked expression could no longer be hidden, and what he had been looking for for most of his life and dreamed of appeared in front of his eyes now. His eyes were on the box, and he couldn't move it anymore, and he couldn't help but reach out to grab it.
But immediately the pirate behind him re-locked his arms, and could only look at the box containing the secret of eternal life, unable to move.
"Do you still want to say that you don't know? I saw the key, it was on Zheng Chonghu's boat, and you stole it later, right! Where is the key? Tell me!" Halim put away his smile as well, grabbing Najib's collar to reveal his hideous true face.
Pulled by Halim's neck, Najib woke up from his crazy greed, realized what his current situation was, and said to him coldly: "Don't say I don't have it, even if I do, won't I die as soon as I hand it over to you?"
Hearing Najib's words, Halim refreshed Najib and patted his crumpled collar in a friendly way, his expression changing so quickly that it was smacking.
"Then you wouldn't be dead, would you? ”
"I will say, I'll tell you when I think about it someday. ”
"Then you don't have the value of living. Without warning, Halim drew the saber from his waist and slashed across Najib's neck with lightning strikes.
In the next second, Najib's head fell, slamming on the deck, and the plasma erupted from the headless corpse, like a blood volcano, and the corpse still maintained a squatting posture, which was terrifying!
"Beibei, close your eyes, don't look!" Sister Lin couldn't move her hands and feet, so she could only shout.
Beibei seemed to be scared silly, and waited for a few seconds to know that he was scared and cried out loud.
Although Mu Xia expected that Najib would be in danger, at this moment, he still felt that something was not real. In the past seven years, his life and death have been controlled by this person, and now it is so easy that he can't die anymore. Mu Xia looked at his corpse for a long time without blinking, as if he wanted to see it more realistically.
Halim's face was covered with blood splatters, he didn't care, he didn't even mean to wipe it, and said to the deputy captain beside him, "With Najib's character, the key is most likely to be hidden in the captain's room, and he will only feel at ease if he puts it in a place where he can see it every day." Divide more people to find it, even if you want to dismantle this ship, you must find the key!"
"Yes!" replied the vice-captain, and led the others into the cabin.
Halim glanced left and right at the passengers and crew of the ship, "It's all blind, there are too many people." ”
"Where's Duron!?" Halim roared.
Du Long, with a small flat head, quickly ran in front of Halim. "In!"
"It's too much of an eyesore to kill them all. ...... Wait, this month is Ramadan, or kill less, each person stabs them in the stomach and throws them into the sea to feed the sharks. Halim pointed his finger at the group of tourists and crew. "And the boy and the mother and son, keep it first, and I'll deal with it myself. ”
"Yes, Captain!" Du Long grabbed a few pirates, each with a sharp dagger, and headed towards the crowd with murderous anger.
