Most of them screamed and tried to escape. However, Li Ke grabbed Jack's arm and channeled his energy into it. But something strange happened. Even though his energy successfully helped Jack's bony arm to regrow some flesh, it also started to change immediately. This time, Li Ke clearly saw that it wasn't simply dissolving. If one had to describe it …
It was rotting.
"Save … me …"
Jack witnessed this scene and tried his best to call for Li Ke's help. But before he could finish his sentence, his cheeks started to dissolve and his blue eyes turned turbid. Li Ke even saw a small worm gnawing on his eyes in an instant. His eyes widened and disappeared into his brain. During this process, apart from sensing some subtle waves, he didn't sense any strange energy.
Jack, who provided him with a lot of information, turned into a pile of bones under the influence of the subtle waves. Not only that, but there was also a pile of putrid pus and corpses of various parasites in his cabin.
This was the first time Li Ke witnessed such a situation. He puckered his brows and felt pity for Jack's life. Jack asked for help and Li Ke responded. But it was a pity that Jack was still dead. And according to the traces on the bones, this man named Jack died three months ago. That is to say, he was already a dead man when Li Ke saved him.
"Do you think he's still alive?"
Qian Jue's words rang in Li Ke's mind once again. Li Ke finally understood that they weren't talking about Mordekaiser, but the man named Jack instead.
"This is a strange curse. Those who are cursed will live longer than ordinary people before they die. They will only truly die after they realize this. Before that, even if their souls have been taken away by Qian Jue, they won't realize anything and can continue living like this … The premise is that they don't know the date and time. Once they know the date and time, they will recall the irrationality of everything and the fact that they are already dead. "
Nora walked to Li Ke's side and carefully examined the bones on the ground before coming to this conclusion. She also pulled out a handkerchief from her bosom and picked up the pearl that had rolled into the bones due to Jack's death. She then handed it over to a sailor to clean it up.
"In other words, he was already dead when he saw the truth he spoke of on the seventh day, and he only thought that he was still alive for the next three months?"
This was too ridiculous. When Li Ke purified his body previously, his power that was very lethal to evil spirits was useless against this guy. Moreover, he was smoking and drinking in front of him. In his perception, he was a completely normal human being, but in the end, he was a dead man who had been dead for a long time?
"Yes, it's because he firmly believes that he's still alive, that's why he's like this. A person's will can always do things that surprise others, but this kind of situation is indeed very rare. If he's not dead, then he can be considered a character."
Not everyone could successfully replicate this situation. His will had to be strong enough to deny his own death, and he had to have a considerable obsession. Otherwise, even if he was cursed, he would just die directly, and such a situation would not occur.
"This world is really mysterious."
Li Ke used magic to summon a puddle of clear water to clean the stains on his hands. He wanted to keep the bones for research purposes, but he knew that he was still in the middle of the sea, so he could only leave it at that. On the other hand, Nora, or rather Lefran, wasn't in such a relaxed mood. She carefully examined the bones on the ground and used some small spells to examine them. Then, as expected, she found that this person had Mord Kaiser's power, and Mord Kaiser should have stared at him.
Yes, it was that terrifying. Just a stare from that abominable being was enough to make a person cursed and die in endless torture. In other words, this man was unfortunate enough to encounter the time when Mord Kaiser returned to the human world. The reason why he didn't die directly was that Mord Kaiser hadn't completely returned from that world. It was just that he would return soon.
This was good news, but also very bad news.
Thus, she turned her head to look at Li Ke and said her words with a serious expression.
"Of course, but you don't think this is the end, do you? This is undoubtedly a proof of the Soul-Devouring Night, and this Soul-Devouring Night is different from other times. The intensity of this Soul-Devouring Night is likely to turn the entire Birgivot into a ghost town like the Shadow Island, and then become another underworld where mortals can't set foot in. This isn't good news for either of us. "
Even if they had their own plans, if Li Ke wanted to obtain the reputation they wanted, he would need to make a real contribution. Pi Cheng and Zu An could only allow him to reach this height, but clearing Birgivot, which even His Majesty couldn't conquer, would also allow Li Ke to reach the height everyone hoped for. This was a tacit understanding. If you wanted to obtain everything from Noxus, you would have to show some proof of allegiance. Guaranteeing Noxus' maritime trade was a very suitable proof of allegiance. Moreover, for Li Ke, if he controlled Birgivot, he wouldn't have to worry about Noxus going back on their word. This was because with Pi Cheng and Birgivot, he could directly seal off all of Noxus' shipping routes, and he wouldn't have to worry about being taken away by Noxus' navy.
This was a tacit agreement between both sides, but if Birgivot became a land of death, then this place would have no meaning.
"Baru should be able to solve this problem."
Li Ke sensed Li Ke's eagerness. For the past few days, she had been urging him to hurry up and make a move on Birgivot, even more so than him. This was a very strange feeling. After all, Orloy had already sworn loyalty to him because of her faith. As long as she was still alive, she would serve Li Ke for a day, so taking down Birgivot was really just a formality. There must be a reason why she was so eager to let him go to Birgivot, and it was a problem that even Orloy and the others couldn't solve, and there was only one problem.
Since he knew this, he could guess what Orloy wanted him to do.
She wanted him to fight Mordekaiser!
