Chapter 9: The Prisoner (4)

“Rui, Rui, what are they going to do?” I asked the praying Rui in a panic.

“This situation has never happened before. This is the first time I saw these pirates so flustered.” Rui’s answer was hasty and fearful, just like a fourteen-year-old boy I met for the first time.

This situation was also the last accident he and I wanted to see happen. Because the appearance of these pirates would surely bring death.

“Get up for me quickly, you low-class slaves!” The pirate roared, and he took out the whip in his belt and beat the surrounding slaves, which made the crying and begging in the slave group continue to ring.

We went up like sheep, and all the pirates passing by on the second deck were gone. When we got to the deck, I found that all the pirates were standing by on the deck, and the one standing in the middle was Kild, the captain.

The sea tonight was drifting with rain, and the rain fell into my eyes. It was itchy and uncomfortable, but I couldn’t wipe the rain off my face. If I made any extra moves, these murderers would definitely cut my head off without hesitation.

“You damned slaves actually angered the ruler of this sea. Otherwise, how could this happen?!” Captain Kild took out his pirate scimitar and pointed it at the body of the bow.

When I looked at the bow of the ship, I almost stopped breathing. The corpse hanging on the bow was bitten off by some creature, and the twisted and torn traces on the waist of the corpse were shocking.

The organs of the corpse swayed along the bow of the ship, like a ghoul crawling out of a grave.

“I am an educated pirate and an educated man. I don’t know which one of you angered the ruler of this sea area, but you should pay for it.”

Captain Kild touched his beard as he said, “but! Listen well, I won’t kill you for this. You are my important merchandise, but you must also pay for it.”

The cold words of Captain Kild made Rui tremble slightly. He must think that because he told me about the sea monster, it caused the sea monster’s anger.

I confirmed that this was probably the bite of a great white shark, or some kind of fish. I touched the scared Rui, hoping to wake him from his fear.

“The price is for ten of you to show me what’s under the bottom of the sea. If you die, I didn’t kill you. If you are not dead, I promise you that I will send you safely to Eccles.” Captain Kild opened our eyes wide when he said this, and we began to commotion out of fear.

“Ten people were put under the bottom of the sea. Doesn’t that mean they were killed?” A white old man panicked.

“Shut up.” The stout pirate cut off the back of the old man’s nose next to him, and the old man wailed.

“Irritating!” Captain Kidd took out a dark thing from his beard and stuffed it into his mouth. I even heard the creaking noise.

Captain Kidd was facing his confidant. The stout pirate made a look. This damn, stout pirate relentlessly pinched the old man’s neck to the edge of the ship’s armor, trying to throw the old man into the sea.

“No, no, sir, don’t leave the old me behind.”

“Please, please, sir.” The old man resisted and continued wailing, his desire to survive allowed the old man to temporarily suppress his fear and plead with the stout man.

Puff

The old man was tied up, his nose was still bleeding and he was thrown into the dark sea. I didn’t even hear the old man fall into the water.

No humanity, no mercy, inferior to beasts, these pirates who were presumptuously called, I was indignant and powerless at the scene happening right before me.

“Pull ten people at random, hang them up, put them in the water, pull them up for me every 2 minutes, and ask them what they see, until someone tells me what they saw, it will not end.” Captain Kild ordered the pirates to get ten slaves from us.

Those of us who were called slaves wanted to retreat, but our struggle was useless in the hands of the pirates. Among these ten people, there was me.

The one who caught me was the disgusting pirate who touched my hips on the deck before. This guy had been staring at me from the beginning, and he still showed me a disgusting smile. Did he want to treat my corpse and think of me here? I couldn’t imagine the scene after my death.

I was desperate, and I also thought of resisting and fleeing, but my arms and feet were bound very tightly. I looked back at Rui, who closed his eyes tightly and did not dare to look at me.

It’s not your fault, Rui. I would say this to Rui from the bottom of my heart, but only if I could come back alive.

Like other slaves, my waist was wrapped with hemp rope. This rope caused pain in my waist. My skin was definitely scratched by the hemp rope, and the tightening of my abdomen made my lungs feel squeezed.

“Bah!” I saw what Captain Kild who was standing at the bow of the boat brought out of his mouth. It turned out to be a carapace of insects. The thing he sucked with relish just now turned out to be insects, which were quite big.

“Listen to me, the great Kild. If you can’t see what’s under the surface of the sea, all ten of you will have to die, not one will survive.” Captain Kild’s words caused one to be put into the water. The slave in the middle asked him, which made me powerlessly close my eyes to this stupid slave. I didn’t dare to watch the next scene, but I still couldn’t close my eyes.

“Great Captain Kild, but you said that we don’t need to be killed.”

“Of course, I’m talking about not killing you, but it doesn’t mean that there is something under the sea that will not kill you.” Captain Kild grabbed the slave’s mouth.

“At the same time, I still have to teach you to do one thing. That is to control your own mouth.” Captain Kild directly inserted his machete into the slave’s mouth and stirred, and the blood was accompanied by meat. The slave’s mouth dropped.

“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,” the slave howled miserably.

“Let this irritating thing go first.” The slave was put in first. There was a wound on his mouth. He could not prepare to inhale. He would definitely die if he was put in the water for 2 minutes.

I looked at the place where the slave fell. There were continuous blisters, and soon the blisters disappeared.

“Uh ha ha ha ha ~ this is what happens when you interrupt my great Captain Kild’s words.” The crazy Captain Kild laughed at the scimitar he was holding high, and the other pirates also laughed.

While they were laughing, I was suddenly pinched by the pirate behind me by the back of my neck and pushed directly off the deck. He did it deliberately. While I was not ready, I adjusted my breathing a long time ago. I even took a big breath of air, which I was very sure I could do, but whether the pirate who wanted to kill me could pull me up on time was still unknown.

I dared not push my thoughts into despair, so I could only immerse myself under the surface of the sea with this fall.

The sea tingling hurt my eyes, but I still kept my eyes open and looked around. I saw a slave being tied and kicked off. Most of them were struggling as hard as I did, even some people, as soon as they fell, the air burst out from their lungs, and they were waiting for death.

Beneath the sea was a filthy scene, with tiny floccules floating up and down on the surface of the sea. At this moment, my feet seemed to be stepping on a slippery arch. With the help of the oil lamp on the sea, I saw my feet pushing on a cyan back.

The back was so stout, even huge, I squinted to make myself see more clearly. Yes, I did see clearly this time.

It was a huge shark, most likely the great white shark I was talking about before. Its sharp head was also in my sight, and I almost spit out the air from my lungs.

More importantly, it treated me as an attacker against it. It twisted its huge triangular head and swam towards me instantly.
