Pirates of the Navy

Chapter 12 Whispers in the Heart

Where there are people, there will be conflicts and bullying. Although there are many good people like the bearded shopkeeper in this world, there are also many scum and scum who use their own force to bully others.

The law of the jungle is the iron rule.

No matter pirates or bandits, or some local gangsters.Those dregs who have given up their bottom line and principles are always bullying and exploiting ordinary people who just want to live a good life.

Of course, it is always those harmless and cowardly civilians who suffer the most in the end.

The flames of Mosmar village were burning in the eyes of the dragon, and he would never forget the wild laughter of those pirates and the cries of the villagers begging for mercy
He was angry at what he saw.

"You, you. Do you know who we are!"

Facing Long Yi's icy eyes, those little bastards who were trembling with fright finally came to their senses, and wanted to open their mouths to pretend to say some harsh words to Long Yi, but they couldn't control their trembling voices well.

"I don't want to know who you are, and I don't care."

Long's expressionless answer made the hearts of the punks fall to the bottom. Looking at the punks who were scared and hugged each other tightly, he gently pulled out the samurai sword at his waist.

"Hey! Don't."

"I beg you!"

"No."

When the samurai sword was held in Long Yi's hands, the chilling aura on his body increased by another three points out of thin air.

How could the gangsters who would only run rampant in the countryside on weekdays have seen this kind of momentum before, they all uttered begging words and inexplicable weird sounds from their throats, and looked at Long Yi who was slowly approaching them with sweat profusely, The body is like a sieve.

"Boom, boom, boom"

The sound of the beating heart is especially clear at this moment, it is a rhythmic and steady sound.

With a blank face, Long approached the scum to be slaughtered step by step.Seeing those punks trembling under his knife, he didn't feel the slightest fluctuation in his heart.

I don't know if it's the spirit that he trained on a daily basis that made him ignore the tension before killing his life, or because the fusion of the power of ghosts and gods changed his will as a human being.In short, his current mood is extremely calm, so calm that even he was surprised, and even deep down in his heart, there was still a trace of fear.
Long Yi is just a naval recruit, not a butcher who kills without batting an eyelid.But at this moment, his killing intent became stronger than ever, and he longed to see blood splashed on the blade.

Good and evil?right or wrong?Long Yi didn't want to think about it.In other words, some kind of force is deliberately hindering Long Yi, preventing him from thinking.

"The power should not be imprisoned and killed, you can gain a new life."

Seductive whispers rang in his ears, and a faint ghostly aura emerged from his body automatically.

Without Long Yi's call, the phantom of Kazan, the soul of the sword, appeared behind him. The phantom of ghosts and gods that was originally controlled by Long Yi now seemed to have a will of its own. Laughter is the best proof.

"Stop it! Long Yi!"

Suddenly, an urgent and slightly fearful shout came into Long Yi's mind, instantly dispelling the whispers in his ears.

He subconsciously stopped his movements, and when Long Yi came to his senses, the blade of the samurai sword in his hand was less than an inch away from the tops of those punks' heads.

Looking at the punks who had fainted from fright before him, and then glanced at the terrified eyes of the drinkers around him, Long Yi stepped back three steps in succession, trying not to let himself slump on the ground.

"Kazan. The curse of ghosts and gods."

Constantly muttering to himself, Long Yi's face flashed with a look of incomparable fear.

He thought that Kazan's influence had been eliminated by the system, but he didn't expect that the whispers of ghosts and gods had been lurking in his mind, waiting for the moment when his mental defenses were exposed.

After seeing the gangster's bullying towards the bearded store manager, Long Yi couldn't help recalling the unbearable past.Mosmar Village was a wound in his heart that could not heal, and Kazan took advantage of this opportunity and tried to guide him to kill these gangsters, causing him to fall into the curse of ghosts and gods.

With his hands trembling slightly, Long Yi smiled wryly and looked at the handle of the knife in his hand.

"If I really killed them just now, then what is the difference between me and them? They are both executioners with knives in their hands."

Long Yi fell into deep fear and contemplation, and the atmosphere in the tavern became as silent as death.

The deterrence of the power of ghosts and gods has not completely dissipated, and those drinkers can't associate this ruthless character with cold eyes who will kill people if he doesn't agree with him, with the young man who is smiling brightly these days.

In the end, the so-called Jike family finally saved their lives in the hands of Long Yi.Those punks who passed out, together with the gang leader who was kicked away earlier, were mercilessly thrown by Long Yi in the alley where the garbage was piled up.

And the story of Long Yi gradually spread throughout the entire town of Crocker through the mouths of those drinkers.

It's night, in the tavern.

The power of ghosts and gods displayed by Long Yi made no townspeople dare to come to the tavern with the bearded manager to drink, and the always lively tavern became deserted today.

But Long Yi was sitting opposite the bearded store manager, silent.

The two were silent for a long time, watching the flickering lights, finally it was Long Yi who spoke first.

"Shop manager, I know I've caused you a lot of trouble this time. I'm sorry. You're a good man, and I won't implicate the business of the store. Don't worry, I'll leave tomorrow."

Feelings of shame and self-reproach brewed in Long Yi's heart. He obviously stayed here to help out to repay his kindness, but he didn't want such a thing to happen. It would affect the business of the store, and instead implicate the kind-hearted bearded store manager.

"Dragon One"

Seeing the self-reproach of inaction on Long Yi's face, the bearded store manager hesitated to speak, he weighed his words several times in his mind, finally, he sighed, and then said affirmatively.

"Long Yi, this is not your fault."

Seeing Long Yi's surprised eyes, the bearded store manager paused, then continued.

"Don't blame yourself. What happened in the store has nothing to do with you. After all, I would like to thank you for helping me vent my anger."

The bearded store manager smiled relaxedly, looked into Long Yi's eyes, stood up, bowed down to thank Long Yi very solemnly.

"Thank you, Long Yi."

"Eh? This is not acceptable, I can't afford it!"

Facing his benefactor, how could Long Yi accept his thanks.Hastily stepped aside, he stopped the bearded store manager who was still bowing, his face flushed slightly.

"Haha, this is the thanks you deserve. You helped me and protected the store. Even though the door was damaged, you are still responsible. Anyway, thank you, Long Yi."

The bearded store manager smiled heartily. Only then did he completely let go of the guard and barrier in his heart.After all, facing an existence like a hero in a tavern, it would be too impolite for him to be afraid of Long Yi.

"But."

Hearing the bearded store manager thank you from the bottom of his heart, Long Yi's guilt got better, but when he thought of those drinkers who were scared away by his ghostly power, his expression became uncontrollably gloomy.

For the first time, he felt fear and confusion about his own power.

Seeing the change on Long Yi's face, the bearded store manager knew it, and saw him leaning towards Long Yi, patted his shoulder, and whispered to him.

"Long Yi, to be honest, we are more afraid of you than those little bastards, but this is not your fault, but our nature. Or, we are afraid of all things with great power, after all... we are too weak."

As he said that, the bearded store manager laughed at himself, looked at Long Yi's immature face, and continued to talk.

"Whether it's you or those little gangsters, it is possible to cause harm to us, so we are afraid. This is not against you, but against your strength. We are weak, so we are afraid."

After finishing speaking, the bearded store manager had a sincere smile on his face, silently looking at Long Yi who was downcast.

"I know you did that to protect me, but a child like you shouldn't have to suffer. I apologize to you for my cowardice."

"Don't, don't!"

Long Yi waved his hands repeatedly, he was a little embarrassed by what the bearded store manager said.It was true that he wanted to protect the bearded store manager, and it was true that he was almost enslaved by the power of ghosts and gods. He couldn't accept the other party's apology.

"Long Yi, do you know that we are afraid that people with great power will persecute us, making us unable to resist. But we also sincerely hope that people with great power will protect us and make us feel at ease. Do you want to persecute me, or To protect me, I still know this, so."

The bearded store manager smiled, and before he could say the phrase "you can stay", he suddenly heard crying outside the tavern.

Long Yi and the bearded store manager were taken aback for a moment, and after looking at each other, they hurriedly ran outside the tavern, only to see the town was filled with red lights and thick smoke.

"fire"

Whispering in a low voice, the scene in his memory gradually merged with this moment, Long Yi's spirit fell into a momentary sluggishness, and then his eyes became as red as blood.

The madness surged, and the blood boiled.Ghosts and gods in another world are gradually waking up.

The bandits who attacked the town would never imagine what kind of trouble this act of revenge would cause them.
