In Li Ke's eyes, the world was divided into two sides.
One side was shrouded in shadows. Pike stood there, looking at the two children dotingly. They were destined to become heroes in the future. However, in the world that normal humans could see, Pike did not exist. The dried fish in the hands of young Azriel and Eyke had appeared out of nowhere.
Dried fish was normal food, but the person who gave them dried fish was not normal.
With Li Ke's current state, he could see Pike's inner self and his true nature after a brief observation.
Pike was a vengeful spirit. There was no doubt about it. The group that formed him was the resentment of the sailors who were betrayed by their captains, and the sailors, workers, and fishermen who were exploited to death by various gangs and captains. The resentment drove his body and gave him power, allowing him to take revenge on the captains who exploited their sailors by any means necessary. He wanted to kill those who ordered others to die.
This was Pike.
He did not exist, but he did exist.
He was a vengeful spirit, but not exactly a vengeful spirit. He was closer to a creature between a god and a devil.
If Jana was the goddess born from the beautiful prayers of the sailors, then Pike was a monster born from the resentment of the dead sailors and the fear of the captains. The two of them were opposites, but they were also equal. Jana would satisfy and respond to the wishes of those who prayed for a better tomorrow, while Pike responded to the resentment and prayers of the dead sailors and the widows whose families had died.
Jana gave hope because she received hope, while Pike received despair and loneliness, so he would also give despair and the deep sea.
"I heard you came from Thriller? But no matter how hard we searched, we couldn't find the legend of this ship! "
Azriel waved his fist and looked curiously at Pike, who was unhappy but still gave them dried fish. His face was full of doubt. Parker's face twitched violently. He felt like he had forgotten something, but he didn't think it was important. The most important thing was to stop these two kids from investigating the Thriller.
This was because he had too many enemies. There were officers of warships, bosses of merchant guilds, and some who had become nobles in other countries. There were also some who had become void monsters. Parker didn't even need to think about how these kids would be treated once they heard that someone was trying to find out about Thriller and information related to him.
Because he had seen too much.
In the past, he had helped some orphans and women in order to find him or take revenge for him when he was still recuperating. However, they were tortured to death by those people. The best case scenario was that they were directly pushed into the sea to feed the fish.
And every time, he could only watch from the bottom of the water, silently watching. No matter how much he cursed and hated, he couldn't do anything at all.
So in order to prevent Izrael from losing his name because of him, he pretended to be angry and grabbed Izrael's collar, then glared at him.
"Don't go looking for Thriller, kid, if you don't want to die."
Seiji glared at Ike fiercely, but this only made Izawa and Ike laugh out loud. Because he had used this expression to scare them many times, but this ugly uncle was not scary at all.
"Haha! Not scary at all! Uncle Parker! You should be more ferocious! "
Izawa laughed out loud, while Parker could only helplessly let go of this fearless kid and helplessly shake his head.
"Anyway, don't go looking for those guys, and Thriller as well. Otherwise, not only you, but the people in your formation will also suffer."
Parker closed his eyes in pain. Images of children returning home after searching for him, then being brutally murdered together with their mother or other family members appeared in front of his eyes.
These were all things he had seen and experienced with his own eyes. If he hadn't been quick-witted enough to jump into the sea or pretend to be dead, he would have been buried in the fish's stomach, let alone take revenge for those people.
He didn't want to see such a scene again.
On the rooftop, Li Ke remained silent. Because when Parker threatened Izawa, his body appeared in the real world, and he no longer had the kind appearance of an ugly uncle. Instead, his mouth was like a shark with its mouth wide open, and his eyes were glowing red. His skin was pale and rotting from being soaked in seawater for several days, and he emitted a foul stench of the sea.
But the two children still saw the same tattered but considerate uncle, the underground hero of Pi City.
And this vengeful spirit had no intention of harming the two children, because he was made up of countless vengeful spirits, and many of these vengeful spirits were related to their families, wives, and children. They hated those who made it impossible for them to continue living with their wives and children, and hated those who killed their wives and children.
And the amount of hatred was equal to the amount of love. Parker wouldn't lay his hands on children and mothers, unless that person had persecuted sailors and dock workers to death. Otherwise, that person wouldn't be the captain.
This was the action mechanism and fundamental composition of the hero named Parker. He would only kill those who deserved to die in Li Ke's eyes. He would kill those who would do anything for benefits, trampling on morality and civilization. He wasn't a spirit that could be easily dealt with. Even though Li Ke could easily deal with Parker, as long as there were sailors who were abandoned and betrayed by the captain and died with resentment, 'Parker' would reappear.
"I'm a little hesitant, Jana."
He opened his mouth to summon the breeze beside him, and a pair of white arms wrapped around his neck the moment he opened his mouth. A beautiful goddess dressed in skimpy clothes also appeared behind him at this moment, and the entire goddess pressed down on him from behind.
"You want him to become a god too?"
"No, no matter how kind he acts, his nature is still resentment. After killing the 'captains' who betrayed the sailors, he will kill the captains who didn't betray the sailors for the sake of his own survival because that's how he is. A life born from resentment can only live by resentment and eventually become a monster that he hates."
Li Ke sighed. Parker might be safe now, but once all the scum from Birgivot were dead, he would attack the captains who had died before, even if it was an accident, and kill them cruelly.
Therefore, Parker the Ghost of Blood Port must be eliminated because he was ultimately a monster that was formed by resentment and was driven by resentment. If Kieran wanted to change this, it would be denying his existence.
"I just think that I should believe in hope and warmth more."
Kieran clenched his fist, and the light of the Starfire gathered in his palm and formed a shurima-style glove and a pale white crystal.
Then, without any hesitation, he threw the two items that contained his hope and power onto the heads of the two 'heroes' whose fates had been greatly changed by him. When the two little fellows who were smashed looked up at the sky, he disappeared from the roof, leaving behind only a blue sky and a green bird that flew past them.
He left the seed of hope, but whether it would sprout or not depended on the two little heroes.
