Chapter 244 Pirates
Hearing Alice's shout, the ship was in chaos.
"What should I do? I heard that pirates are so cruel and they kill people without any eyes. Why am I so unlucky?"
"Am I going to die here today? No, I can't die like this. I still have many dreams to fulfill."
"Could it be that I am seeing things? How could there be pirates?"
"Help, I don't want to die."
At this moment, a crisp gunshot rang out, as if a sharp sword had cut through the silent night sky.
Everyone was so frightened that their faces turned pale and they trembled all over. Some even collapsed to the ground.
Then, several pirates with burly bodies and ferocious faces boarded the ship quickly. They held various weapons in their hands and had fierce eyes.
"Hand over all the valuables on you, and then squat on the deck! Anyone who dares to resist, I will make his head explode!" One of the pirates shouted at the crowd fiercely.
The crowd was already scared to death, how could they dare to hesitate or resist?
They hurriedly did as the pirates asked, took off their money, necklaces, rings, watches and other valuables, put them on the ground, and then squatted aside with their hands on their heads.
Looking at the treasures all over the ground, the pirates smiled with satisfaction.
But they did not stop there. They continued to point their guns at everyone and warned, "If anyone dares to move or hide the property, don't think about leaving here alive!"
The pirates' cold and venomous eyes, like a sharp sword, swept across everyone's face coldly.
Those who were touched by this line of sight were filled with fear.
"Who is Anthony Jaycee?"
Anthony Jaycee, who was squatting in the crowd, heard the words, and his trembling body was shaking like a leaf in the wind. How did these pirates know that he was on this ship? Obviously, he didn't inform anyone when he went back this time.
Alice's face was as pale as a piece of white paper. She grabbed Anthony Jay's sleeve tightly. Her trembling hands and the cold sweat on her forehead all told of her extreme panic.
"Get out of here!" The pirate leader shouted angrily, and the sound exploded in the air like thunder.
Anthony Jay held his head with both hands and slowly stood up from the crowd.
The next moment, a gun was pressed against Anthony Jay's head.
"Dad..." Alice screamed in fear.
At this time, another gun was also pointed at Alice's head, "Go to the room and bring me the Heart of the Ocean and other valuables."
"We gave the Heart of the Ocean away..." Alice said tremblingly, tears falling from her eyes uncontrollably.
"To whom? Is he on the ship?" The pirate pushed the gun in his hand forward.
"She..."
"She's not on the ship..." Anthony shouted anxiously. The other party saved him, he couldn't repay kindness with enmity.
The pirate narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Is he on the ship? If you don't tell the truth, I will kill her." His fingers slowly pressed down.
Alice could even hear the sound of bullets spinning in the gun. Cold sweat kept dripping from her forehead. Fear and despair surged in her heart. Was she going to die here?
Anthony Jaycee's eyes flashed with a gleam of struggle. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and spoke again: "She is not on the ship..." He knew that even if he said it, these pirates would not let him go. The other side's target was him.
"Then she can die." The pirate pulled the trigger in his hand while speaking.
Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun heard the movement in the room and immediately entered the space. They came out of the space only after the pirates searched their room.
"I'll go out to see the situation, you stay in the space." Lu Qingyun instructed Ling Yao. Those pirates kill without blinking an eye, he couldn't let Yaoyao take risks.
Ling Yao shook her head and looked at Lu Qingyun firmly, "I'll go with you, don't worry, I have the ability to protect myself. Even if you don't let me, I will follow you quietly."
Lu Qingyun sighed helplessly, "If you encounter danger, you will immediately hide in the space."
"Okay." Ling Yao agreed with a smile.
Lu Qingyun walked to the door and put his ear to it, trying to listen to the movement outside.
Ling Yao glanced around, stretched out her hand and opened the door, "There's no one outside, let's go out." Her eyes can see through everything, so she can naturally see the situation outside the door clearly.
Lu Qingyun and Ling Yao walked out of the room and quietly sneaked towards the deck.
When they were almost on the deck, Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun stopped and looked out through the gap of the cabin door. They saw that the passengers on the ship were squatting on the ground with their hands on their heads. A dozen pirates had guns in their hands, and two of them were pointing guns at the heads of Anthony and Alice.
Alice closed her eyes with despair, waiting for death to come.
At this moment, a feeling of dizziness suddenly swept over her, followed by a feeling of powerlessness. Alice felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and her body uncontrollably collapsed to the ground.
The pirate who was about to pull the trigger also noticed something was wrong. His originally tense muscles relaxed instantly, and his fingers became limp as if they had lost control. Even the simple action of pulling the trigger became extremely difficult.
The gun in his hand fell to the ground, and the pirate collapsed to the ground uncontrollably.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Accompanied by a few dull sounds, the pirates fell to the ground one after another as if they were under a spell.
Anthony Jaycee widened his eyes, looking at everything happening in front of him with confusion, his heart full of questions. What on earth is going on?
He wanted to stand up, but his body would not obey him, and he could only collapse powerlessly on the spot.
When everyone was confused, Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun slowly walked out from behind the crowd.
Lu Qingyun walked straight to the pirates and tied them up with ropes skillfully and quickly.
Ling Yao stood aside and waited for Lu Qingyun to tie up the pirates with ropes. She raised her hand and a handful of white powder flew out from her palm and spread around.
The people lying on the ground soon felt their strength restored. They got up from the ground and thanked Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun with gratitude.
"Thank you for saving me!"
"Thank you! If it weren't for you, I would have died here today."
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
With Alice's help, Anthony Jayce slowly walked to Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun and bowed to them gratefully, "Thank you for saving me again, thank you!"
