Chapter 118: Tail Ship 36
After finally saying this, Jiang Yuelu felt the blood in his body was boiling.
The blue-eyed baby stared at him, "What did you call me?"
Jiang Yuelu: "My Lord. The last Lord. It was only after you were defeated by Jin Muxi that you started to toss around in various bodies in a panic, right?"
Hearing the sarcasm in his words, the baby raised the corner of his mouth and moved his eyes to the milk jelly, "I see, she remembered. Then why didn't she tell you that it was the golden osmanthus that took my boat away?"
When he thinks of old grudges, he becomes furious.
As he endured and ran around over the years, his rage became stronger and stronger, waiting for the day of revenge to burn all the weeds to death - completely burning them!
Jiang Yuelu said, "Rongrong only told me that there were two Duzhu, one was the enemy who killed her family, and the other was the benefactor who saved her. I know the latter is Jin Muxi, but she doesn't know who the former is or where he is, and she didn't tell me either."
"Benefactor." The baby chewed on the word and snorted, "Then how did you know?"
Jiang Yuelu replied: "Inference."
The baby seemed to have heard a joke, "Inference?"
"That's right. There are subtle connections behind many things. I have been on this ship for a long time and have seen a lot. You are the one with the most connections."
Jiang Yuelu said slowly, "Take your connections for example. The Will brothers are very familiar with you, and Jin Muxi also knows you. These bigwigs who have been active in the Ghost Market for many years have heard of your name. It seems that you appeared when this ship was first formed."
His words sounded like a question to his father. Drake knew he should rush over and force him to stop talking with a knife, but he couldn't do anything.
When Dad asked him to kill Gurian and Jin just now, the minds of the three of them froze.
I could only listen slowly as Jiang Yuelu explained everything.
"Of course, this alone is not enough. I don't doubt you for this."
"What really makes me suspicious is that there are so many contradictions in you."
The baby heard an interesting statement, "Contradiction?"
"When a person's statements frequently contradict other information points, you should suspect which side has the problem."
The baby said, "That's even more ridiculous. Why do you only suspect me?"
Jiang Yuelu said calmly: "Because they are all dead."
"Everyone who opposed you is dead. If I don't doubt you, I'll be the next one."
The baby sneered, "What are you doubting? Tell me."
Jiang Yuelu said, "First of all, according to you, Will entered the ghost den unintentionally, and building a flying ship was his dream. Most importantly, you said that Will became obsessed with this ship and went crazy, which led to his wife and children being separated, and his family unfortunately all died in the sea."
Baby: "Yeah. That's what I said. What's wrong?"
Jiang Yuelu: "Not only is it wrong, it's totally irrelevant."
The baby's blue eyes turned cold and stared at Jiang Yuelu in silence. But Jiang Yuelu continued talking as if she hadn't seen anything.
"Shouldn't you know best how Will got in?"
"The ruler of the capital at that time was impressed by the couple's talents and the sacred tree, so he forcibly captured them and brought them to his territory, ordering them to work day and night to build a ship that could reach the sky."
"How could such a large ship be built by just one family on a whim?" Jiang Yuelu felt that he lied without thinking.
"You must have promised Will a lot, right? You said I would bring a lot of people to help you, and you would be the sole leader of this big project. You are really good at making promises, but unfortunately Will had already seen that you, the evil ghost, had bad intentions. If you stayed any longer, your whole family might be buried with this ship, so you planned your first escape."
"But he was unfamiliar with the ghost den, and you caught him back soon. It was probably at this time that his good-for-nothing brother, Qiong, came looking for him."
"I have already implicated my wife and children, how can I drag my only brother into this?"
"Will quickly pushed June out, but he didn't know that his clumsy acting of beating and scolding deceived his brother and burned his pitiful self-esteem to ashes. The friendship between the two brothers also ended here, drawing an unpleasant period. However, you saw all of this."
The baby looked at him with a half-smile.
"Poor Will." Jiang Yuelu sighed, "I fooled my brother, but I couldn't fool you."
"In order to protect Joan, Will behaved particularly obediently during that period. You gradually discovered that you don't need money or beauties, or even whips or torture instruments, to make living people obedient. As long as you use a trick, they will be very obedient."
"What on earth could pull out Will's hard thorns without any sword or knife?"
"What is it that makes a living person so obedient and docile?"
Jiang Yuelu stared at him, "We are family."
"The invisible things that can hurt people are their weak spots."
"Call Will and explain the structure of the Skyship to him."
"Tell him that I not only need your craftsmanship and your wife's sacred tree, but I also need to perform a blood sacrifice of more than a thousand people. The most important offering can provide power for the boat, which is the foundation for the wooden boat to reach the sky. It is your people. Tell Will this and let him make a difficult choice."
"This sacrifice is Joan."
"It's his daughter."
The blue-eyed baby burst into laughter, and his laughter spread throughout the mansion. He laughed so wildly that it seemed as if his entire thin and tender internal organs were about to vomit out.
Finally, he stopped laughing, "This is the first time I've seen such a stupid person!"
"The guy who couldn't be persuaded before is now as hard as a rock! After I threatened him that your daughter is in our hands, he dared not move again. Seeing him so honest, I suddenly remembered."
"I forgot. I've been here for too long and forgot what people fear the most. Didn't the spirit ancestors teach me that if you want to really scare people, you have to find their most precious things?"
"Scared?" Jiang Yuelu thought he was being ridiculous, and laughed out of anger, "Just for these... fun things, you killed so many people. Just for a... ship like this?"
The blue-eyed baby stared at him as if offended, "How can a mortal ant understand the meaning of Tongtian!"
"What's wrong with sacrificing a few people to ascend to heaven? If they can be taken to heaven by me, they should feel very honored and very privileged! I don't even bother with them, why are you arguing with me?"
As he spoke, he fanned the dazed Drake and the other two and swept them all to the center of the formation.
"And they, too, must be sacrificed together!"
Drake moved his lips twice: "Dad..."
In return, the baby ignored me.
"I took care of you, adopted you, and gave you enough food and drink. You call me daddy, you should repay me." The baby looked at him and showed no sign of weakness. He planned to tear the mouth of this most disobedient child before he could protest, but he didn't expect that Drake would actually shed tears.
"As long as it is your order, I will definitely complete it..."
"I help you not because you give me food and drink, nor because you pick me up, nor because you give me a high position." Drake cried out, "I help you because I treat you as my father!"
The baby had not expected him to say such a thing. He was silent for a moment and nodded. "That's even better. You should set an example and die before them. Gurian, Ajin, you also regard me as your only father, right? Then you deserve to die."
In a blink of an eye, he used Derek's crying as a handle to threaten the other two children.
Jiang Yuelu shook his head. He had never seen such a shameless person...even among ghosts, he was rare.
A soft voice called him back to his thoughts, "God."
Jiang Yuelu turned around and saw the milk jelly on the ground emitting a faint white and weak light.
"I died a long time ago, didn't I?"
After she woke up, she heard the words of the blue-eyed baby. Knowing that he was the former city lord, she wanted to rush over and kill him immediately. But the next words made her stunned and unable to move. She wanted to refute, but many of her confused questions were answered in the baby's words.
"I was really happy when I first asked you for help. Because I haven't heard a human voice for a long time."
"I'm telling you, I'm locked up in Mansion No. 1 and can't get out. I hope you can help me."
The girl's voice was like a ghost. "But you've been here for so long, have you ever found me? I heard there's a kind of monster, which is the ghost of a dead person bound in a house. I should be similar to them... That's why I died very early with my parents..."
Rongrong's voice became painful, "I can't remember... I have a headache..."
Jiang Yuelu picked up the milk jelly and said, "Rongrong?"
"You are hugging me now. Haha, I really miss such a hug... Dad and Mom used to hug me like this. But they always quarreled later... Mom also took my brother away. I can't forget the look in their eyes when they left..." Rongrong sobbed, "They don't want me anymore, they don't want me anymore."
The baby smiled and said, "Yes, they don't want you anymore. Your father would rather sacrifice his own daughter than his own brother. Oh, you are so pitiful!"
Jiang Yuelu scolded, "Shut up and stop talking! Rongrong, he's wrong, he's trying to irritate you, don't listen to him!"
He lowered his head and quickly covered Rongrong's ears. He soon remembered that this was the ghost girl's host body, a jelly, and it had no ears at all.
The baby smiled and said, "She is everywhere in this mansion. So she can hear everything I say. Can you cover all her ears?"
Damn it!
This was Rongrong's advantage, and it helped them a lot. But unexpectedly, it hurt her in return... Jiang Yuelu was at a loss as she hugged the sobbing and screaming Naan Dong, as if she was hugging a little girl across time and space. She had the black eyes of an oriental woman and the golden curly hair of an oriental man.
...So you are a little god.
I believe you can take me out...
He seemed to have also seen his sister, Yan Lu.
...Brother...I feel so hurt...so hot...
Why did I come here? Jiang Yuelu's head was too heavy to lift.
I came here because they are in the ghost city.
Only by killing the Lord... can I get clues... and find Yan Fei and the other three.
"Hmm?" The baby looked at Jiang Yuelu who suddenly stood up with a gloomy and dazed look on his face. "Can you still stop me? My formation is complete. With it, I can take back my Tongtian Ship from Jin Muxi. I will also take revenge on him and take back my position as the Lord of the City. I can also--"
The baby lowered his head and looked at the arm that passed through his body.
Jiang Yuelu was extremely indifferent and pulled her slime-covered hand out of his body. "Then you can die together."
After that, he threw the baby's broken body next to Drake like throwing away garbage. The latter was still in a daze, and Jiang Yuelu asked him, "Do you want to come out?"
Drake moved his lips and glanced hesitantly at the baby who was coughing and laughing. Seeing him like this, Jiang Yuelu lost his last patience, "You don't know what family is like... Are you playing some kind of house game? Family members won't send the other person into the formation themselves--" At this point, he suddenly stopped.
Rongrong's voice rang out in the hall.
She seemed to be speaking in every corner, with several voices overlapping each other, making it seem strange and hazy.
"So, why did they send me to the formation..."
"Why would Mom and Dad... sacrifice me?"
"Hahahahaha!" the baby laughed crazily, "Yes! Yes! Why would they sacrifice you? As long as they sacrifice you, they are no longer real family. You are abandoned! This is what your God said, don't you believe him?! Hahahahahaha!"
Jiang Yuelu took a step back.
"Rongrong, he's wrong. Calm down and think about it carefully..."
His rational words were swept into the torrent of anger. Rongrong could no longer listen to him. The girl who recalled everything fell into silence. For so many years, she was trapped in the cold water, listening to the pain and laughter coming from everywhere. She felt tired and lonely.
Who brought this fate to her?
Rongrong raised her head and stretched out her hands towards the sky above the deep water. "No. He is right."
"My mother abandoned her promise to grow old together with my father."
"Bang!" The walls around shattered one after another.
"My brother broke his brother's promise."
The tables, chairs and the ground were swept away by the black residual flow and swallowed up underground.
"My father personally delivered me to the mouth of this ship."
The girl's sad voice floated in the air. When the boiling ground calmed down again, Jiang Yuelu raised his hand and looked forward in the dim light.
A huge monster appeared in front of him. The wooden boards fitted together on its body did not move at all, but its intricate parts were still slowly turning.
A network of pipes connected the ship's planks, revealing an icy core.
Its exterior was entirely covered with strange wooden boxes from outside the castle, densely covered with yellowed runes, with only a small blank space in the middle.
The moment Jiang Yuelu looked into that blank space, his pupils shrank to the smallest possible size.
"When the ship swallowed me, where were you, Dad, Mom, and brother? I was in so much pain, it was always in so much pain... I kept shouting for help..."
"Help. Help, help!"
Trapped in the center of the square machine, a faceless mass of flesh kept trembling and calling for help, making the sharp wail that was unique to a girl.
It almost tore Jiang Yuelu's eardrum apart.
"Save me——God!!!"
