The little girl was only about seven to eight years old. Her body was extremely thin, as if she had not eaten for a long time, but she was weak and boneless. When Aranza hugged her, she actually felt afraid that she would be crushed by excessive force.
Worry. But when a little girl appears in such a place, no one should let down their guard. Moreover, due to the charm effect attached to the previous soul power, Aranza had to start to guess whether he was attracted by the little girl the moment he saw it.
Bewitched.
Hancock and Nicole Robin put their hands on the little girl almost at the same time, and waves of magic began to reverse. Aranza knew that they were testing her body.
After a long while, Hancock actually shook his head, looked at Nicole Robin, and said, "I didn't find anything, what about you?"
"Humph, it's just you?" Nicole Robin sneered, with a touch of complacency in her expression, and said, "Although I didn't find anything...but I know what she is."
"What?"
"seal!"
Nicole Robin said with certainty: "The stone tablet here is only the first seal, this girl... is the second!"
Hearing this, Aranza was shocked and looked at the little girl with a look of pity. He sighed and said, "Well, what should we do now?"
"Take her back," Nico Robin replied. "When she wakes up, the day will not be far before the seal is released. Hum, I want to see what is sealed!"
A sudden cold wind blew up in the narrow cabin, which made Aranza shiver. He didn't speak, but looked at the little girl's rough and immature face, and felt something in his heart was stirred by Nicole Robin's words.
The words were extinguished. Aranza understood the consequences of using the human body as a seal. If the second seal was unlocked, it would undoubtedly mean the end of this little girl's life. He considered himself not a good person and had done many things against his will.
But facing such a young life, Aranza suddenly felt a pang of regret.
Of course, maybe it's just regret. Maybe there are others, but Aranza hasn't felt it yet.
On the other side, Cyril and Elita's search naturally found nothing. After everyone gathered on the deck, they returned to the Black Pearl. The little girl was sent to Marquis Marler Gobi and Lawrence, who had a little understanding of the situation.
, decided to imprison the little girl. For this reason, Aranza argued with the two for a while.
"Well, I don't think there is any need to imprison her. After all...she is still a child." Aranza racked her brains and finally came up with a better reason.
But the Marquis's response was to shake his head extremely firmly and said: "The situation is already very clear, she is a seal! Do you understand what I mean? She is a threat that may explode at any time. As a captain, my responsibility is to make
A decision that can ensure the safety of the crew... Aranza, I know you are pitying her, but as a leader, you have to understand that your pity may make it easier for those who follow you to suffer!"
What Marquis Mahler Gobi said was true, and Aranza also believed it. He just wanted to do something, that is to say, if something happened to this little girl, he could be grateful that he had done it while feeling guilty.
What.
Therefore, this destined debate ended in nothing. Several mercenaries were ordered to place a large metal iron cage in the center of the first deck of the Black Pearl, and each group of five people took turns to guard it. The little girl was killed by Aranza herself.
Placed in the center of the iron cage, she had not yet woken up, but her breathing was much easier than before they found her.
Time flows briefly. In the secret flow where there is no sunrise or sunset, Aranza can only judge the time through the operation of body functions. It seems that a day and a night have passed. However, this guess was broken by the shouting outside the cabin in the blink of an eye.
, the sailor in charge of telling the time announced in a loud voice that another two days had passed.
The little girl finally woke up.
She slowly opened her eyes that had been closed for who knows how many years. There was confusion in her dry eyes. The little girl got up with difficulty and was stunned for a moment. Then she wailed "Wow", but her tears were extremely rare until the wailing sound came out.
It turned into faint sobbing, and the tears couldn't shed a few drops.
After receiving the news, Aranza rushed to the cage immediately, with Cyril following behind him. Soon, Hancock, Nicole Robin, and the others also appeared on the deck one after another.
Cyril stood next to Aranza. At this time, she was quite accustomed to using knight's sword. The silver-white knight's sword "Peacock" on her waist was specially made for her by Lawrence. It also came with a set of swords called "Peacock".
The knight armor set of "Dream Traveler" is still in the design stage. Cyril looked at the crying little girl, his heart was touched, and he whispered: "Is she...could she be hungry?"
Hearing this, Aranza suddenly understood, nodded, and then called a mercenary and asked him to bring some food to the little girl.
"I'll do it."
Cyril stepped forward and took the plate containing food and water from the mercenary. However, before she could walk to the cage, Aranza grabbed her. He did not speak, just looked at Cyril and shook his head.
Then he took the dinner plate back from Cyril, handed it back to the mercenary, and signaled the mercenary to give the plate to the little girl.
Cyril didn't understand Aranza's intention, but since Aranza wouldn't let her do it, she didn't do it.
At this time, the mercenary had already put the dinner plate into a small gap under the cage and handed it to the little girl. There was not much food on the dinner plate, only a piece of soft bread, a small dish of jam and a glass of water. The mercenary was passing it to the little girl.
After the food was served, he stayed away from it, obviously he had some taboos. This was not because he was cruel, but because he had rich experience and had heard something about human body seals.
After waking up from a deep sleep, once the little girl who is used as a container experiences emotional fluctuations, the seal will loosen, and it will be extremely easy to break through. In other words, the things sealed in her body will break the seal at any time and reappear in the world.
Facing the sudden appearance of food, the little girl was stunned for two or three seconds, and then immediately pounced on the food and started biting it like a hungry beast. Perhaps it was because she hadn't eaten for so long that she swallowed a mouthful of bread.
She coughed violently, but the little girl had no intention of stopping her mouth. In a hurry, she just poured a sip of water into her mouth, coughing, chewing, and swallowing water.
Seeing such a scene, everyone around them felt a slight ache in their hearts. Aranza was fine, but most of the big men licking blood from their knives closed their eyes at this moment, not daring to look at such a scene again. Maybe they
At home in the mainland, there may be a daughter like this, who is about the same age as this little girl.
However, at this moment, a rustling sound broke everyone's sadness!
The source of the sound is inside the little girl's body!
"Wow!"
The little girl suddenly screamed in pain. She pressed her chest violently. The severe pain caused her to lie on the ground and twitch uncontrollably. She even spit out a little foam at her mouth. She looked at the people around her desperately, but they
But they seemed unmoved, and instead drew their weapons with nervous expressions, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Save...me...please...save...me..."
This is the only thing the little girl has said so far. The sound is like the rustle of the wind passing through the grass, crisp and clear, and the hissing sound of saw teeth grinding against the bones, which makes people shiver in the heart.
Finally, the painful and childish screams suddenly stopped.
"Bang!"
A violent explosion ended the girl's pain. Her body exploded suddenly, and blood spread around like flowers. Small blood mist instantly covered the clothes of the people around her. But people had no time to wipe away the blood stains.
, but stared nervously at the center of the cage!
In the little girl's original position, a vague dark figure was slowly squirming, as if it had not breathed fresh air for a long time. A moan of satisfaction came from the figure's mouth, but the joyful trembling made people feel inexplicable fear in their hearts.
The hand holding the weapon couldn't help but shed small beads of sweat.
