Chapter123 【The Approach of Fate】

The feeling of fullness made Fitzgerald's sanity slowly return to his body.

As for the absolutely disgusting smell in the mouth and the food that is eaten, it is not something that ordinary people can accept.

For Fitzgerald, it was no problem.

Being able to survive is the key, how you survive is not important.

He had already given up the most important thing in his life, and his heart was already dead.

How can a person whose heart is already dead care about whether he is still living in a human way?

He even took some of the most critical parts of the corpse with him for later consumption.

It feels so good to be full.

Fitzgerald looked at the sun-filled sky and breathed out a sigh of relief.

He suddenly figured out why he was in such a situation.

Looking back at the beginning of everything, the initial feeling of discomfort... started when we boarded the Iron Hook.

It was on the Iron Hook that he felt uncomfortable and inexplicably irritable. He always felt that something was happening, but his destiny star did not warn him, so he killed all the people on the Iron Hook in a rage.

Killed.

Back in Naso, Blackbeard found a divination, but he couldn't get the result, and the other party blocked his destiny.

At that time, he didn't think much about it.

Later, on the sea, on the Blackbird, at night, his life star finally gave a warning.

He sensed a huge crisis, so he used rapid astral movement and fell here.

Now that I think about it, everything is so logical.

It was as if... I was stepping into a trap that had been set step by step...

And, who would plan so much in advance to ambush him on his way to Innsmouth?

The answer is... Fokker.

That golden ship.

Very good, Fokker.

I must kill you all!

His murderous intent rose again.

——————

On the other side, Li Jiu and the others briefly disposed of the remains of the matte fish.

There was no way to bury the body in this place, and they couldn't take the body with them now, so they had to simply restrain themselves and let him stay here and slowly weather with time.

After disposing of the corpses, they walked forward for a while and decided to rest.

Because according to time calculation, the evening of the third day is almost here.

In the past few days, they have been moving forward and stopping strictly according to regular schedules.

Rest as soon as dusk arrives and rush on the road as soon as dawn arrives. Never break this rule.

In this subspace, time and space are the most important things. In terms of space, Li Jiu and the others have no way to solve it, so they can only start with time.

Fortunately, since they entered this place, they have never stopped counting time. Someone is keeping track of time every moment.

Even when you are sleeping, there must be someone keeping vigil and counting the time.

Their sense of time is not lost.

It also makes their mental condition not so bad.

According to the order, the first person to watch the night was Li Jiu, because his mental state seemed to be the worst in the past few days. He had several dreams, but Talina and the others saw something abnormal, so he was made the first person.

One is that he is not sleepy yet, and the other is that he can keep sleeping for a while, so as not to wake up half asleep and keep vigil, and his mental state will be too bad, and something will happen.

The other people just went to sleep, and Li Jiu was left alone looking around.

Of course, fortunately, Mi Dou was with him.

Mi Dou doesn't need sleep, and he can be stimulated with cold air from time to time.

Li Jiu was very alert because he would not forget that in the simulation, the red hat was the first to attack them.

Although it is written above that I don’t know how much time has passed, but as time goes by, I don’t know how long it has passed, and it will definitely get closer and closer.

Li Jiu was stroking the warm handle of Zhizi in his hand, and Li Jiu gently touched the heavy armor on Mi Dou with his other hand. The faint chill kept him from sleepiness.

Mi Dou was also looking around vigilantly, and of course he had received Li Jiu's instructions.

There was silence all around, and you could only hear the breathing of the people behind you.

Li Jiu continued to count the time in his heart, feeling inexplicably irritable.

He knew that this was the negative emotion coming up again, so he quickly grabbed a handful of rice and beans to get a little chill and suppress his discomfort.

Continue to count the time, and the time will enter the cycle of the next minute.

As for calculating time, Li Jiu must have thought about bringing something like a pocket watch in. Although this kind of thing is rare in the West Sea, it is a luxury item and can only be seen in the hands of some nobles in the Central Sea.

But money can always buy it.

In the end, Lao Haien put an end to Li Jiu's thoughts with one sentence. He said that the clock would break if he brought it in. They had tried it.

No one is stupid, so in the end we had to use the stupidest method.

Fortunately, they are all extraordinary people. Under normal circumstances, their perception of time is very accurate. Especially, there are three astrologers out of the four, so their perception of time will be more accurate. And old Hain is very discerning, and he may be more accurate than the astrologers.

Also accurate.

Ten seconds, fifteen seconds, thirty seconds.

One minute.

Time is no problem.

Continue for another minute.

The clock is ticking.

What Li Jiu couldn't see was that the space was also changing.

Some spaces are moving quietly with unknown rules.

There will be something fateful coming.

——————

It's been an hour.

Fitzgerald, whose eyes were a little red, was trying to reshape his perception of time.

Although his murderous intention was boiling to the extreme, he was a red hat after all. He had killed many people and had naturally encountered countless extremely dangerous situations, so his mind was spinning very quickly. He knew that he had to rebuild his sense of time before he had a chance.

Find a way to break the situation and get out.

He also used the stupidest method, counting by himself.

At the same time, he also discovered some secrets of this place.

For example, this place is alive.

The coconuts that disappeared before and the corpses that suddenly appeared are both clear evidence.

In addition, he is an astrologer himself, and he is keenly aware that the place he is in is changing.

For example, right now, he felt that the space around him was changing.

And, suddenly, a sense of destiny.

His horoscope told him that a moment that would affect his destiny was coming.

That is……

Golden ship!

Golden ship!

Falk!

Did you actually come here after chasing me?

He is really... courageous enough.

But who is he? He is Fitzgerald.

Is he afraid that someone will be bold?

He is only afraid that if someone is not brave enough, his madness will directly scare others to death.

Very good.

You can end everything without going out!
