The Whispering Verses Chapter 333: Beans

"You, 55 pictures..."

The captain held the card, his face twitching and showing an angry expression. Because he was so angry, his eyes protruded so much that they looked more like fish eyes.

The light from the skull lamp overhead was weakening, and more vague soul figures appeared in the cabin. Extreme mental pressure swept over from all directions, but the golden traces of light on Shade's body suddenly bloomed with stronger light at this moment.

It was as if golden embers were burning on his body at this moment, and even Miss Princes standing behind him could feel more warmth.

"You cheated, so I win. Now, let's leave."

Xia De gritted his teeth and said again. The reason for his strange expression was that he was really hungry.

"No, you cheated."

The captain's voice became more eerie and terrifying, and with the gradually weakening light, the voice seemed to come from the deep abyss, hoarse and low.

"Where did I cheat?"

Xia De asked rhetorically.

"This card has your flavor!"

The card was thrown towards Shad. The huge force made the card cut through the air like a sharp blade, cutting directly into Shad's head.

Because he was sitting at the moment and there was someone behind him, Shade couldn't dodge and could only control the cards to stop. But such actions undoubtedly prove that this card is under his control.

The Founding Balance fell on the table, and the captain laughed.

The rancid air spread in all directions. Amid the uneasy restlessness of the sailors, the captain's figure became taller, his wrinkled skin became whiter, and his body skin turned dark green. Because his clothes were open, his belly could be seen. The part is white. Most of its body is covered in fish scales, but a shadow appears on its back, which looks like it has high scaly ridges. The ugly head has more fish features, with huge, protruding eyeballs and trembling gills on both sides of the neck, making him a real mermaid.

[You have been exposed to "blasphemy". 】

"The other party has the power of the evil god?"

[This is a person favored by evil gods, in other words, a person favored by gods. 】

The rotten and swollen fish face looked at Shade. Just its ugly appearance had extraordinary power, but Shade also looked at it:

"You cheated and were despicable, there's no doubt about it."

"You cheated too, and you actually called me mean? I don't think this needs an explanation."

Both sides deny the fact of "cheating", but in this way, the winner of this game cannot be determined.

The captain, who has shown his true appearance, does not want to let go of Shade no matter what. After going through the gambling game just now, it seemed to be more interested in Shade.

They looked at each other, and no one spoke. When the evil spirits around them started to get restless again, the captain spoke:

"Reveal your last set of cards. If the cards are busted, you lose. If the cards are not busted, I will give you one last chance to play a round with me."

Shad nodded and looked down at the cards in front of him. After opening the first card, it turned out to be the queen.

"Huh?"

In other words, all his efforts just now were completely unnecessary. If he had not wanted to let the opponent cheat just now, Shade would have won by simply opening the card.

"Queen?"

The captain did not expect this result:

"You see, fate always plays tricks on people, and all we can do is passively accept it. We take a gamble in the end."

The swollen hand threw a small object towards Shade across the table. The thing kept spinning on the table. After Shade pressed it, he found that it was an ivory dice. Unlike the twenty-sided dice commonly used in Rhodes cards, this one is a cubic six-sided die.

"You throw it yourself, whatever number you throw out, just eat a few dishes. After eating, if you can still tell me calmly that you want to leave, I will let you go. Otherwise, you and this time Everyone stays together, including the woman behind you. This time it is absolutely fair, I can promise God.”

The evil spirits looked at Shade. Shade twisted the dice. The voice in his head clearly stated that this was just an ordinary item. There was no conspiracy this time, it was a real gamble on luck.

"Can I help him eat?"

Just as Shade was about to throw, the girl behind him suddenly spoke.

"Of course."

The captain said.

Xia De turned to look at her in surprise. Her hair turned completely red. She held the back of the chair with one hand, lowered her head and looked at Xia De with green eyes:

"I remember what you said, it will be my turn if you can't hold on. You come first. If you fall down, I will continue eating until we leave."

"Okay."

Her Royal Highness is not the weak woman in fairy tales. The strong, independent and decisive sorceress is the princess that Shade truly admires.

He threw the dice into the air casually, and all eyes were focused on it. As the die falls, it bounces twice on the table and then stops with the number 3.

"After three dishes, if you can still speak, I will let you go. I swear to God, this time it will be fair."

The captain said.

"Okay."

Shad nodded, assessed his physical condition again, and then pulled the nearest fish soup in front of him. These foods are all dishes of desire, and it doesn’t make a difference how many you have, so it doesn’t make a difference which dish you choose.

No one spoke, and Shade quietly finished the first course. Then he held the table with one hand and covered his chest with the other, lowering his head and retching on the ground. It's not that he has reached it, but that his hunger has reached a certain limit, and his body is instinctively protecting itself.

"Shadow."

Miss Princes put her hand on Shade's shoulder. Shade raised his head and tried his best to smile, then shook his head:

"I can hold on for now."

This is true. If he couldn't hold on, he would have burned his divinity just now when the dice fell.

The second dish is the crystal clear purple grapes. Shade actually rarely eats fruit after he came to this world, because he has been struggling with food and clothing some time ago, and the thickness of his wallet does not allow him to think about things like fruit.

At this time, I was twisting the grapes, and somehow I thought of my hometown again. He stuffed those grapes into his mouth one by one and swallowed even the peels.

He placed his hands clasped on the table, closed his eyes and held his breath. At this moment, even breathing would aggravate the feeling of hunger. The dizziness made Shade feel that the whole world was spinning. He was trying to restrain the desire to eat crazily.

Even though I know that the more I eat, the hungrier I get, my body still screams for food. Now he doesn't even dare to recall the way he used to eat. Any memory of food will make him feel like he is going to lose his mind.

Judging from the current situation, once he loses his mind, he will most likely turn around and eat Miss Princes, because she is the only living person here, and the taste is obviously better than evil spirits or fish-headed people.

"There is one last dish."

The captain's voice was like a soft corpse being dragged on the beach. The disgusting greasy feeling reminded Shade of colloids, and then of rotten rotten meat.

He opened his eyes and used his trembling right hand to pull the dinner plate in front of him.

【Do you feel it? 】

"What?"

[When your hunger reaches a certain limit, the consequences of your desire to eat are not as simple as letting you eat the beautiful girl behind you. 】

Under the current situation, she is actually still chuckling. Shade sometimes feels that even if the world is destroyed, maybe the voice in his head can still make such a beautiful sound:

"So...I understand."

On the last plate he took, there were actually yellow beans. This dish is a common breakfast food in seaport cities, and is sometimes served as an accompaniment to drinks in taverns.

Xia De reached out and picked up a bean, paused for a moment with his trembling hands, and then put the bean into his mouth with his eyes closed.

As his mouth chewed, he fully felt a certain "limit" at this moment. The limit of hunger he could bear was not far away.

Twisting the second bean and putting it into my mouth, the discomfort in my stomach miraculously disappeared. Instead, there was a feeling of hunger from the soul, forcing Shade to want to eat something. The most primitive instinct of the body is gradually wearing away his will. Everything in front of him seems to be unimportant. His senses are searching for something to eat. Once he really makes a decision, the existence of the individual stranger may be gone. Die from then on, and a terrible guy will appear on this ship.

Twisting the third bean and putting it into his mouth, Shade was stunned for a while, then fell down on the table and stopped moving.

No one spoke, the evil spirits looked at Shade, the captain looked at Shade, and even Miss Princes looked at Shade.

They were expecting him to sit up again, and then turn around and eat the young girl behind him, while Miss Princess was expecting him to sit up again, and then smile and say to her that everything was over and they were the victors. .

But Shade just lay quietly on the table, motionless. Miss Princes had even forgotten the measure of time. The Shade she saw seemed to have been lying there for ten thousand years.

There was no sadness or crying. She didn’t know what happened to Shade, but she knew that as a second-level warlock, Shade had given everything he could, and now it was her turn:

"Now, it's my turn!"

The young girl's voice is hoarse, but the emotion contained in her voice is so warm. Her reddish eyes were bright. Even though her only companion had fallen at this moment, the five-ring sorceress was still strong.

Princess means princess, but this princess is definitely not the weak and ridiculous woman in the story:

"Now I will take his place and eat all the food. If I finish eating, all the people on the cruise ship who were robbed by you will be let go."

"No problem."

The captain nodded. The evil spirits were restless, but they could not violate the rules and attack the woman directly.

Miss Princes looked down at Shade who was leaning on the table, and then walked to his right side.

Reach out your hand and twist the beans on the plate, then throw them into your mouth with your eyes closed.
