Jack looked at us, all of us looking listless. He clapped his hands and said loudly, "Brothers, since we're on this pirate ship, we can't rest any longer. The only way for us is to move forward."
But everyone was already exhausted from the torture they'd endured on the island, and they angrily asked, "Jack, you lunatic, what's the point of moving forward? You're just delaying your death."
After hearing our angry words, Jack didn't get angry. Instead, he whistled calmly and said, "Brothers, you need to relax a little. Now we have to keep moving forward. What else can you do? Otherwise, you might as well stay where you are and wait for death."
When we heard Jack's words, our originally angry expressions suddenly froze, and then we followed Jack listlessly. There was nothing we could do, as Jack was the only one in the team who could help us come up with a plan.
But even as we were about to follow Jack's steps and continue walking towards the deepest part of the island, a sharp voice suddenly came from the side:
"You must not follow Jack into the island. He is actually a demon. In fact, I doubt he is a human at all. Don't worry, he is just the incarnation of the female ghost who was chasing us just now."
We were originally planning to follow Jack blindly, but when we heard that voice, we were startled and looked towards him, only to find that it was the fat man who spoke.
Jack stared at him with a gloomy expression, a hint of murderous intent in his face, and said mercilessly: "Fatty, keep talking. If what you say today doesn't satisfy me, one of us must die here."
The fat man felt a huge pressure when Jack stared at him with murderous eyes. He swallowed hard and said:
"Jack, if you threaten me like this, I can't tell this secret. I'm trying to save my life."
When we heard the fat man speak so seriously, we all became nervous. When we heard the fat man say that Jack threatened them, we all stared at Jack with dissatisfaction.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, but Qin Lan suddenly walked between Fatty and Jack and whispered:
"You two should stop arguing, Jack. You're going to die too. Don't be so anxious. Let the fat man finish what he's saying, and then we'll see."
At this moment, the two people who were originally arguing suddenly snorted coldly and turned their heads away. However, Jack felt that there was no point in arguing here, and the ghost was about to catch up, so he asked the fat man:
"Brother, if you're unhappy with me, let's run away first, okay? If you stand here now, we can only wait to die. The ghost will catch up with us soon."
When everyone heard Jack say that the ghost was about to catch up, they all looked frightened and began to persuade the fat man, saying, "Fatty, don't be so upset. If you have any questions, tell us now and let's go."
At this time, the fat man who was originally sulking on the side heard the news that the ghost was about to catch up. He did not show any fear on the surface, but when no one saw him, his calves trembled violently twice, and then he coughed dryly, turned around and said seriously:
"I don't know if you remember the mysterious man in the black cloak up ahead. He said if we keep going, we'll definitely encounter something even more terrifying. That's why Jack has been urging us to go deeper. I suspect there's something fishy going on here."
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, and then looked at Jack doubtfully, with a hint of doubt in their eyes. If Jack could not answer this question, then Jack's position in the team would be greatly challenged.
After hearing what the fat man said, Jack pondered for a moment and then asked everyone, "If you all don't want to go any further, then I won't force you. But do you really think standing still is a good idea? Or can you find a moment of peace by standing still?"
After hearing Jack's words, everyone seemed to have some comparisons in their hearts. Although going deeper might lead to encountering the great terror that the mysterious black-robed man had mentioned, that was a matter for the future. Who knew? If they didn't continue to move downwards, if the ghost caught up with them, they didn't think he would show mercy and let them go.
Everyone fell silent for a while, and seeing that time was running out, I immediately raised my hand and said, "Since everyone has reached a disagreement, why don't we vote by raising our hands? The minority will obey the majority. Those who agree to continue going deeper should raise their hands."
As soon as I finished speaking, Qin Lan immediately raised her white and tender little hand. Jack also nodded and raised his hand. Jiang Chu hesitated for a while and then raised his hand. Xiao Ding did not hesitate at all and always believed in me unconditionally.
Afterwards, the fat man was the only one in the audience who didn't raise his hand. He snorted coldly, looked at us with a red face, and said helplessly: "Since you insist on going downstairs, then there is nothing I can do."
Jack suddenly said, "Don't worry too much about that mysterious man in black robes. I've seen him, but he's not that powerful. At least I'm confident I can handle him."
We were skeptical about what the class said, but we had no better solution, so we decided to walk back immediately. But Jack suddenly stopped us and said, "Don't leave yet. As far as I know, there is a reason why we are always being blown by that ghost. Now I know why."
We all looked at Jack with some doubt, not knowing what he was going to do next. Jack smiled coldly, then pointed at the fat man and said:
"We've encountered so many strange things along the way. There must be a culprit behind all these things, and that's him."
The fat man's face flushed red as he stared at Jack angrily, but Jack said slowly, "Of course, I'm not talking about the fat man himself, but the bracelet he hid. It's been causing trouble along the way, so I think for the sake of our safety, we should throw it away."
