When tulas said the answer, angel was confused.
Who inserted the sword? It's tulas himself.
I'll start with the beast of tulas before entering the closed island. At that time, the beast had not yet reached the gear abyss and was still sailing in the devil sea. One night, a group of people led by the vice captain on board rebelled
To put it bluntly, it is brotherhood. In fact, the reason can be guessed without much thought: wealth moves people.
Tulas wanted to go to the mainland to find the way of wizards. Naturally, he wanted to take all the treasures collected in recent years on board. So many treasures shook the core headed by the vice captain. They don't want to go to the mainland, they want to get treasure and return to the original mainland to enjoy their happiness, so the beast appeared this drama of internal struggle among pirates.
In the end, of course, tulas won.
Tulas happened to kill the vice captain near the stern. He took out his sword on the spot, ruthlessly inserted it into the center of the rudder, and threatened other people around: "the vice captain has given the head. Can't you people who follow him see the situation clearly and catch it without a hand? I can spare you one death!"
As soon as the threat came out, the people of the first Department of the vice captain surrendered after a stalemate for a period of time.
This is the whole story of why the sword was inserted into the rudder. After regaining the ownership of the beast, tulas did not pull the sword out of the rudder for demonstration.
Before long, they arrived at the gear abyss, and finally everyone slept on the dead island.
"In other words, you inserted the sword? In that hidden room under the ground, the treasure is also your own? Never give it to others?" Asked angel.
Tulas nodded, "that's right."
Angel's eyebrows wrinkled high, and so it was. There are deviations and fallacies in the record in Lucas's sailing diary.
Lucas's original words are: he met pirates. All pirates died under his sword. He even cut off the head of the pirate leader and seized a ship full of treasure. In order to demonstrate, he inserted his sword into the rudder of the pirate ship. Finally, he collected the treasure and put it into his treasure house.
Almost every plot of this passage has happened in history.
However, the subject is not Lucas, but tulas. Whether it is killing pirates, inserting swords, or hiding treasure in the place of treasure, it is realized by tulas in disguise.
Even the head was cut down by tulas.
But it's not Lucas who cut off the pirate head. But tulas cut off the head of Lucas's skeleton on the Lingfan, and even took his head back as a souvenir.
All of it is amazing coincidence, but it is completely inconsistent with the "prophecy". Just as like as two peas before, and the wishing tree!
"Is this really a prophecy?" Angel rubbed his temples and felt that tulas had said so much. He could vaguely realize that he seemed to have touched the core of the event, but he couldn't find a complete context to connect the whole thing.
Lucas's logbook, dead Island, atlas. What is the relationship between the three?
Angel decided to continue listening. He felt that the clue that could connect all things together must not have appeared. The story context cannot be just an outline. It needs a logic to tell the story.
Perhaps this "story logic" is the so-called third-party power.
"Go on, your life on that island. First, when you were alive; if there is anything strange, you must not hide it." Angel said.
Tulas began to tell his story——
After the underground cave was repaired, they lived there for the time being. They didn't find any danger or wild animals on the island. At first, they were glad that they didn't have to worry about being attacked by wild animals. But over time, they found that the absence of creatures may be the greatest punishment. If there are creatures, it at least represents that there is no shortage of water.
The first difficulty they encountered was the lack of water.
After the fresh water resources stored on the ship were drunk, they had no water to drink. Although there are lakes on the island, the water in those lakes is extremely dirty. Just standing by the lake and smelling the smell, they all want to vomit, let alone drink.
But forced by survival, they still drank the dirty lake water, which was cooked, of course. Although there is still precipitation, the good thing is that it can be imported.
The water problem seems to have been solved, but the consequence is that several people have sick diarrhea, and there are not many medical drugs. Finally, all the sick people rely on hard cooking. When they boil, they also have to drink water. As a result, their physical condition is worse. It's like a cycle without solution. Finally, they become the first batch of people to die.
The second difficulty is loneliness and loneliness.
Surrounded by eternal darkness and endless loneliness, everyone is desperate when there is no way out. The reason why tulas's obsession is so deep is the high wall of obsession built slowly in this boundless loneliness.
The third difficulty is the shortage of food.
Many people died of illness and continued to die. Loneliness also makes many people choose suicide. Therefore, the food stored on the ship was actually sufficient at the beginning. After all, they had to cross the sea to multiply the mainland, and the food was stored for at least a year.
But the food will run out.
After everyone else died, tulas was the last person alive. He was not only lonely, but also had the problem of lack of food after suffering in the dark for some time. He saves food every day. In order to reduce activities, he doesn't even go out to activities. He just lies on the bed in the hole in the ground in order to live longer.
Tulas doesn't want to die at all. As long as he has the chance to live, he is willing to endure even for decades.
Unfortunately, the resources are limited. Even if he saves again, he will eventually run out.
Tulas finally starved to death. In the last period of time, he lived very collapsed. He prayed every day that someone could take him out, that a boat without food could come in, and that he would not die
But in the end, death came.
When tulas talked about this, his expression was sad. Almost everyone who lives on a desert island knows the skills to survive, but they live on an island that has lost their lives. Even if they have the skills to survive, they are useless.
"Maybe this is my fate. Fate is like the hands hiding behind the clouds. We are like string puppets, manipulated by it at will, and the final outcome is doomed." Tulas's voice was very low, sitting on the bed, feeling a little sad.
After Angel heard his words, a flash of light flashed in his mind. He wanted to catch it, but it seemed a step too late.
In the end what is it? What is the truth?
Angel kept thinking about the last words of tulas - the theory of fate, which is not strange. Many pessimists have this idea. But why did he hear this just now and his mind flashed?
After thinking for a long time, angel thought and continued to ask, "are you sure nothing strange happened in the process?"
Tulas thought for a long time and shook his head: "it seems that there is really nothing else except the ship that suddenly appeared and the skeletons that later appeared inexplicably... No! Yes!"
Tulas seemed to think of something: "I remember, that head!"
"What head?" When angel asked, he remembered what atlas had said before: "Lucas's head?"
"Who is Lucas?" Tulas was stunned.
"The owner of the skeleton whose head you cut off." Angel said bluntly.
Tulas said "Oh" and nodded, "yes, that's the skull, Lucas's skull!"
"In my last time as a living person, I was in a state of dying, so I often had hallucinations. I couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion, but one thing I could distinguish was Lucas's skull, which often glittered."
Angel: another shining skull?
Angel suddenly remembered that he had stayed in the cave for some time in order to avoid the sight of Livia hall. Toby once said that there seemed to be a golden light in it. But when he went in, he didn't see the so-called luminous object.
Is it difficult that this luminous object is actually the skull that has been placed at the head of tulas's bed?
"You said you saw the skull flashing. What color of light was flashing?" Angel couldn't help asking.
"Golden light!"
Angel: "..." it seems that it's really the skull. It seems that there's something strange in the skull? Unfortunately... He didn't know at that time. He thought it was something luminous in the treasure inside.
Angel regretted that he didn't take the skull. But it's normal. Who would take a skull for no reason?
——At this time, Toby, sleeping in angel's chest pocket, turned over beautifully.
Angel: How did you tell that the light on the head was not an illusion before you died
Tulas: "because after my death, I became a dead soul. I still remember that head shining from time to time..."
"After becoming a dead soul, it also shines? Is there any rule for it to shine?"
Tulas shook his head: "there is no rule. It often glows inexplicably... Oh, by the way, it seems to have two light modes, one is flashing and the other is always bright."
"What is the difference between these two luminous frequencies?"
"If it flickers, there seems to be no rule. Anyway, when I'm next to it, it always flickers for no reason. As for the constant light..."
When tulas was about to say something, suddenly the whole person stopped, the memory box was opened, and a memory fragment hidden in the depths suddenly jumped out.
