Jihad's prophecy once again worked, driving away these seemingly terrifying creatures, but Mike could not relax his vigilance at all, because it confirmed that Jihad's ability was getting more and more difficult.
The accuracy of foreseeing the future gave the pagan very strong self-confidence. Under the protection of the tall and strong man, he slowly walked into the crowd.
"That's enough, Mr. Mike, let everyone take a rest. The deep divers are not here to kill people."
"Deep Diver?" Mike was stunned for a moment, and then dug out the truth of this name from his memory.
He couldn't help but widen his eyes with a look of disbelief on his face.
"You mean the 'deep one'? One of the five legendary ghost ships?"
"It is also one of the nine major pirate groups..." Jihad snapped his fingers, "I have never understood why people classify ghost ships as pirates. Maybe... they all cause the same trouble.
!”
Mike fell silent after hearing this. As someone who had served in the navy, he certainly knew the legend of the deep divers.
Jihad gradually walked to his side. The angry passengers just now regained their proper emotions and suddenly felt frightened and confused about their actions. People had no idea what happened, and several people dropped their hands.
weapon, staring blankly at the roots that no longer spread.
"The purpose of the deep diver is the same as ours, so it will not attack and kill people on the ship. Next, I need to have an important negotiation with the captain of that ship."
Jihad patted the shoulder of the strong man next to him, who was still carrying the huge door panel-like thing on his back.
"You know what you should do during this period, Mike Cambino, keep everyone calm and don't let anyone come out to cause trouble."
He once again gave Mike an order without mercy, but this time, Mike still resisted him even without ruining the bet.
"I will no longer continue to serve you, heretic. On the contrary, if you don't end that card game, I will put all the people into panic. What will your so-called precious human resources do? It's not
I can decide. Maybe, fearful humans will jump into the sea to escape, or even do more extreme things."
After hearing this, Jihad's face darkened and he said calmly: "I see, what I said just now made you think that you could use the lives of the people on the ship to threaten me and the deep divers?"
This is exactly what Mike planned.
At first, he was intimidated by the other party, who threatened the lives of the people on the ship and his own, making him resort to the trap.
But what Jihad said just now made Mike think about the situation again.
The other party's purpose is to kidnap the entire ship, so why can't Mike in turn threaten them with the lives of the ship's passengers?
Jihad said that the purpose of the deep divers is the same as his, so wouldn't Mike's threat be able to restrain these two enemies at the same time?
"Yes, your choices are worthy of your status. You can't be a gang leader with pathetic compassion, but you are still too naive, Mike Campino. In fact, I don't care how many people on the ship survive.
Arriving in Akkad.”
Jihad slowly took out the folded card again.
"Come on, Mr. Mike, if you make everyone crazy, then I will take your life."
Mike's heart skipped a beat, and he once again had doubts about the current situation.
But at this time, there was new movement in the roots that entangled the cruise ship.
An arm that had been eaten away until its bones appeared appeared on the edge of the deck, and then a dead face covered with water plants rose up.
It was a corpse that climbed onto the deck of the Western Dawn along roots from the sea, immediately triggering screams from the crowd.
The corpse looked like it had been soaked for a long time. In addition to the swollen body, bones were exposed in several places.
There are more and more such terrifying corpses, and they appear one after another on the edge of the deck, all crawling up from the water.
Mike could feel that the public's emotions were full of fear, which was even more serious than when he faced the bugs just now. It was even difficult for him to control this wave of emotions.
On the contrary, Jihad showed a strong calmness when facing these horrific dead people.
He murmured: "Okay, our guests have arrived."
As he finished speaking, a special "corpse" appeared at the edge of the deck, and quickly stepped onto the deck, bringing with it seaweed all over the ground.
People looked at the old, corroded and tattered pirate captain's uniform on his body in horror, and chose to avoid it as soon as they saw the pimples and barnacles on his face.
His boots made a dull sound as he walked on the deck, and seawater spilled all over the ground in the direction he was traveling.
Some brave people did not look away immediately. They stared at the other person's terrifying face. The next second the other person's eyes turned around, and he collapsed to the ground in fear and kept dodging back.
People thought that these innocent souls in the sea were coming to harvest their lives. If Mike hadn't forcibly stabilized their emotions, there would have been turmoil.
The "dead man" wearing the costume of a pirate captain walked straight to Jihad.
There seemed to be something crawling in the right side of his face.
"David Jones..."
Jihad calmly called out a name, seemingly addressing the dead captain in front of him.
The latter looked at him with cold eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and said: "Give it all to me..."
It is difficult for people to understand his purpose with these words, but Jihad has been prepared for it, as if he has a complete understanding of the future in the near future.
"We don't need to compete here for the labor on the ship. I know that you are subject to his power and have to work for him, but now, there is an opportunity for you to get rid of all this, and all you need to do is-
Just cooperate with me and reach Akkad."
The corpse in the pirate captain's uniform stared at Jihad with its terrifying fleshy eyes. He made a strange grunting sound in his throat, and then all the dead crew members around him drew their weapons and raised them high.
People saw squirming worms under the skin of these dead people, just like the black worms that climbed onto the boat just now.
"It's a painted insect!"
"Oh my God!"
"Don't look at them!"
Mike could hardly control everyone's fear. On the contrary, he himself was extremely frightened.
Jihad then raised his right hand and spoke in the loudest voice: "David Jones! Do you really want to go against me? This may be your only chance. If you reject my proposal, the rest will
For hundreds of years, you will be enslaved by the blood of Abraham!"
His shouts soon had an effect, and the dead men slowly put down their weapons and looked at their "captain".
The pirate captain known as David Jones spoke again: "You... don't have that ability, you are too weak."
Jihad showed a sneer and pointed at the strong man companion beside him.
"I really don't have the ability, but I found this thing. With it, the curse of the King of Heroes will never leave his country and affect anyone outside!"
