Chapter 143: Substitution of Death

As for the question that the pirate answered, Arka kept it in mind, and he must find out when he has the opportunity.

It's important to see what he does afterwards.

He looked at the pirate in front of him, thinking about what questions he still had to ask, and it was rare to ask them all at once.

"You became the Toucher, how did Seapheus control your life?"

"I don't know, when we became the touchers, our lives were already in his hands.

The rules he has set must be followed, and if we break them, punishment will fall on us, up to death. ”

"Don't you know...... There is also a penalty that falls automatically. ”

This silenced Arka, and when he became the toucher, he directly controlled their lives.

Could it be that when he touched the treasure, he did something to these people?

Arka recalls that when he touched the treasure, he was directly immersed in the stimulation of his body.

He didn't know whether he was sensitive to the outside world or not, because no one would bother him at the time.

But since I don't know the specific reason, there is no way.

But from this it is clear that his father must have trusted these touchers, because they would not pass on these secrets, and they would not be able to pass them on.

Then the accuracy of the secrets known to those who touch them is almost certain.

No more suspicious suspicions.

"How many touchers do you pirate group have, and what level of strength have they reached?"

"There are a total of 172 people, 12 of them are cadres, their strength has reached the second helix, and 60 must reach the first helix, and the rest depends on their own efforts."

There are a lot of two helixes, there are a total of 12 two helixes.

This made Arka couldn't help but frown, how many years his father had been a pirate, certainly no more than 10 years.

After all, 10 years ago, his father was still on Golden Wheat Ear Island, and he hadn't gotten Jack's treasure yet.

Even if you become a pirate, you will get the treasure immediately, and it will not take more than 10 years to complete the battle.

Arka asked Andre specifically, and Andre became a toucher 14 years ago, and actually reached the double helix two years ago, but he didn't show it much.

In other words, it is normal to become a double helix in this sea area for more than 10 years.

And Andre said that he is somewhat talented, and he also has seniors to take him.

It's Pakchi on Golden Wheat Ear Island, otherwise his promotion speed would definitely not be so fast.

It was only in the church that he had the resources, the ability, and the teachings of his predecessors that allowed Andrew to reach the double helix in 10 years.

It is somewhat abnormal that the pirate group of the Prayer for the Dead is so fast.

If you have already become a toucher and join the pirates, it is unlikely, because then your father will not be able to control it.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "How many touchers do you still have?" ”

"I don't know, but there will be 12 cadres of the second helix, and 60 people of the first helix will also be there, and I don't know about the rest."

What do you mean? That is to say, the 12-bit double helix and the 60-bit one helix are fixed, and someone will immediately fill in the lack of one, and the strength will be reached.

What are the conditions to achieve such an effect?

"Why is there there?"

"I don't know, but there will be."

It seems that even the pirate in front of him still doesn't know.

Arka couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, this sentence was interesting.

Could this be the effect of the treasure?

Don't blame Arka for being suspicious, because it's too suspicious.

If this was in Lucilia's waters, then Arka would have believed it, after all, meditation was not something too rare there.

How could it be possible to level up so quickly in this hellish place, unless they also had meditation methods, which was obviously impossible.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be just 12 double helixes.

Even if you have a meditation method, it will not be missing, so you can make up for it immediately.

"Is this information only known to those who touch it, and if you want to reveal it, you will die?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Arka seriously doubted that this ability was related to the treasure.

But that's just speculation.

After all, it is completely fine to throw some incomprehensible phenomena and some impossible things on the treasure.

After asking a few more minutiae, Arka looked at the pirate in front of him.

He walked over and reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

A hint of confusion flashed in the pirate's eyes, and then he quickly saw Arka in front of him look shocked.

Without waiting for him to react, Arka directly twisted his neck off.

After all, this is someone else's dream, and when he reacts, once the resistance is fierce, who knows what problems will arise.

With the death of the pirate in the dream, the entire bubble immediately shattered, and Arka quickly fell on the rainbow-colored clouds.

The bubble bursts, wake up from a dream?

Arka thought, and her body came to her senses.

At this moment, one of the pirates in the outside world, who was tied to the mast, woke up violently, and looked at him sweating profusely, as if he was having a nightmare.

He looked at Arka and finally at his own tied body.

"I'm not dead? Whew, I'm not dead. ”

Then he looked to the side, his struggling companion who had been blindfolded, and the other two companions who were still asleep, and knew where they were.

looked at Arka in front of him, as well as Xia Daiti and the others next to him.

"You're Arka, what do you want to do? Sieverus asked me to bring you a message, and he told you that on the day of the harvest, go to the island of Elcott and face him.

Otherwise, he will kill the one who was captured before, the leader of the treasure hunting group named Andre. ”

Hearing this, Xia Daiti's anger was ignited in an instant, and looking at the figure she was about to rush over, Arka immediately stopped her.

"Don't be impulsive, I've already got the information, I'll tell you later."

With Arka's words, the anger quickly extinguished, allowing Shadetti to calm down.

She nodded and took a few steps back.

Arka crouched in front of the pirate, staring into his eyes.

"How did it feel to die just now?"

"Death? Hmph, it's fascinating. ”

Looking at the hard-mouthed appearance of the pirate in front of him, Arka smiled helplessly.

Sink into a dream again.

After a while, the other two pirates who were sleeping were gasping frantically at the same time, and one of them even screamed.

It's like going through a horrible nightmare.

Alka, who had just come out, looked at this scene clearly, with a smile on his face.

When the body of the dream dies, the dream disappears and is forcibly kicked out of the dream.

I just don't know if there is any damage to the original body, and the current performance is just a nightmare.

Arka turned to look at Julia and said, "Julia, help me check on their spirits to see if they are damaged. ”

Julia smiled and nodded, "Of course, happy to serve." ”

As he spoke, he came to the side of several pirates, ignored their words, and began to check their state of mind and soul.

Then he shook his head and said, "It's just that I'm a little tired, as if I haven't rested well, and there is no damage." ”

Arka nodded in understanding, letting the pink mist once again envelop the touchers in front of her.

The pirates, who had just woken up, fell asleep again.

Then he sank into a dream again.

This time, the dream bubbles of these people have become very faint and illusory, and there is a not very stable appearance.

The most immediate feeling is that the film of the bubbles has become thinner, and it is not as thick as the first dream.

The environment in the dream is also slightly lifeless, and there are flaws everywhere.

It's like the texture is wrong.

And even in their dreams, these pirates lie asleep in various beds.

Is that so?

In this way, Arka took the pirates and began to experiment.

……

"Kill me, you have the ability to kill me, you bastard, I'm going to ...... you Hmmm! ”

Sealing the mouth of the pirate in front of him once more, Arka controlled the pink mist that shrouded it.

They were all doing their own thing on deck, and from time to time they turned their heads to look at the pirates who were tied to the mast.

The four pirates were already haggard, their faces were pale, and even their lips were a little black.

His eyes drooped blankly, and he could see the bloodshot in his face.

It seems that the torture is not light.

Arka had been experimenting with a couple of pirates for two days now.

Constantly holding the pirate, experimenting with various scenarios in his dreams.

For example, in a dream, you change tricks to kill, wake up, kill, kill in your sleep, kill when you are dreaming.

They were even dragged out of the bubble, and although there was no inevitable struggle, Arka managed to succeed a few times.

Once they are dragged out of the bubble, they are also awakened, as if the dreamer cannot leave his dream bubble.

Tricking them out of the bubble is not at all, and these people will not be able to get out of the dream bubble without Arka forcibly dragging them out, or without Arka as a link.

For Alka, it is like a bubble-like film, and for these people, it is a strong wall.

Unless you're in the hands of a dream catcher like Arka.

Looking at the haggard looks, Arka patted them on the shoulder, his tone full of gratitude.

"Thank you, you are such good people, I will definitely remember your contributions, and it can be regarded as atonement for the sins you committed before."

Hearing Arka's words, the pirates' faces began to become excited again, and they wanted to scold on the spot.

However, as soon as Arka finished speaking, he killed them directly and left the ship behind.

After disposing of their bodies, Arka clapped his hands.

"I'm going to test myself now, there may be accidents, help pay attention."

Xia Daiti next to him nodded.

Arka switched his body first, and directly used his illusory body to commit suicide in a realistic environment.

With the moment the dagger pierced the heart.

The real body that stayed in the dream was immediately kicked out of the dream world, and the dream bubble that had always existed was also shattered at this moment.

The body that had just pierced the heart and died, and it was restored to its original state again.

It's not that he didn't die, but at the moment of death, he dragged his real body back, and it seemed to be refreshed.

Arka came back, taking a deep breath.

Xia Daiti, who was next to him, helped him, looked at his face, and asked with concern, "How is it, is there any problem?" ”

Arka put his hand on Xia Daiti's shoulder and took a few deep breaths before finally calming down his crazy heartbeat.

Not even the cold touch that came out of the ring could cool his brain.

It can be clearly felt that the feeling brought by the death of an illusory body in reality must be in a dream, and death is different.

The stamina is much greater than that of the pirates.

And with the Dream Catcher in his hands, he is more sensitive to his senses.

After resting for a while, other experiments began.

Finally, after the sacrifice of four pirates, coupled with his own personal experience, Arka understands the difference and the consequences.

The illusory body can be used as a death-free gold medal, provided that you first use the illusory body of the dream to fight, and then die.

With the death of the illusory body, the real body will take over in an instant.

It's like it's refreshed, but at this time there will be all kinds of sequelae.

It's like having faced death yourself, and it is impossible to do nothing.

And the dream world will also be tired and damaged.

He had to sleep well after the death of his illusory body, and he had to sleep in his dreams.

It takes about a full day of slumber to repair the damage in the dream.

In other words, the opportunity to replace death must be only once in two days.

However, if the illusory body dies in the dream, even if Arka wakes up in the dream, it will only be as if it was awakened and will not be damaged in any way.

Not even the dream is broken, and there are almost no sequelae.

However, with an illusory body, after dying twice in reality, Arka set a rule for himself that he must follow.

That is, you must not use an illusory body to carry out suicide attacks at will in reality.

You can exchange injuries for injuries, but you must not die with your life as something that can be consumed at will.

It was only after committing suicide twice that Arka could clearly find that he was starting to care a little about his life.

Obviously, I kept telling myself in my head, but my body, thoughts, and even my feelings would not listen to orders so easily.

He could clearly see that his spirit was beginning to become unstable, and his resistance to the dark elements around him had decreased.

Even with mental protection, it seems that they can't avoid hearing the murmuring.

Arka felt that if he died like this, he was likely to have a self-destructive mood or even a mental breakdown.

This is still based on the fact that one's soul is already stronger than others, and his spirit is stronger than others.

If it were someone else, the spirit would only be more fragile, and it would be possible to collapse after two times.

For example, those pirates woke up in a dream and died 4 times before they had a mental breakdown.

Not to mention the feeling of Alka's death in reality, which is even more impactful.

Every death should leave plenty of time to repair mental problems, and the sequelae of multiple deaths are too bizarre.

It is even possible that it will not be able to recover, so the caution comes.

Arka felt that at this rate, he would probably only need to die more than 4 times in a year before he would definitely have a tendency to self-destruct.

More than 5 times are bound to have a nervous breakdown.

Each death is an increase in damage on the basis of the previous death.

It's getting worse every time, and it's harder to recover every time.

Judging by the fact that Arka has died twice now, he will have to recover for at least half a year before he can guarantee the next death, like the first time.

At the time of his first death, Arka felt that he only needed a month's rest to eliminate the breakdowns and self-destructive tendencies that had been lurking in his spirit and soul.

The death of the illusory body in reality is so real, and it constantly evokes memories that have been buried.

But fortunately, it's not that it can't be used, but it must be firmly restrained.

Death is not child's play.

But in any case, the ability has become powerful again.

As long as you have enough time to rest, Alka is equivalent to one more life, and there is nothing better than this.

And as long as it's not death, a missing arm and a broken leg can easily return to the dream and repair it, and there won't be any problems.

At most, you have to endure this pain, but the price is too low compared to actually losing it.

And in times of crisis, you can overdraw more lives, and when your spirit becomes stronger, maybe the sequelae can be alleviated.

But in any case, if you are prepared, you can have an extra life or even a few more lives, and you can already show how powerful this treasure is.

Of course, the premise is that Arka uses an illusory body when he dies.

"Do you really want to go to an appointment on harvest day?"

Xia Daiti next to him suddenly asked, interrupting Arka's thoughts.

When he tested on the pirates, Arka had already told the people what he had asked for in his dreams with the pirates.

Arka turned to look at her and nodded.

"Of course we have to go, and now our main goal is to find the ships of the church and go with them."

After all, there are too many enemy touchers, and there must be 12 double helixes, which is still very deterrent.

They have two in the second helix and two in the triple helix.

Alka could feel that in a few days, he would be able to truly reach the triple helix stage with the help of the Dream Catcher.

And Julia, relying on her experience and strength, was able to exert the strength of the triple helix with two helixes.

The number of enemy touchers is indeed much higher than that of Arka.

Not to mention, Sypheus was the old man next to his father.

Judging from the information obtained, the strength of that old man will not be lower than that of the triple helix.

Then it is conservatively estimated that the enemy has two triple helixes, and one of them still holds the treasure.

So union with the church is a must.

Of course, more information needs to be gathered before that.

With the Dream Catcher, the absolute secrecy rules of his father's pirate group have completely lost their effect.

That's their biggest strength.
