Infinite Throne

"Poor Davis, in your next life you must be a person who doesn't like asking others to borrow money."

"Woooooooooo..."

"Davis, how much I hope you are alive. I am willing to introduce you to a job. I hope you can live a fulfilling and happy life..."

Seeing the coffin containing Davis being lowered into the soil, the mourners were very sad and regretful. Their tears could not stop flowing down, they clenched their fists tightly, and they could not control their emotions at all.

"Davis may have been infected with an infectious disease. I suggest that his body be cremated and his ashes buried." Lin Yebai discovered an interesting thing during the funeral process.

"Then burn them. The latest dead will be burned." The priest agreed.

People are reluctant to destroy corpses because of their beliefs. But the recent infectious diseases are too serious.

"I'll get the black stone." A neighbor turned and left.

Black stone is a unique fuel in this world. It can be ground into powder and stored. After ignited, it will burn for a long time. It is safe and harmless. It is available in almost every household.

"I brought black stone powder and sprinkle some on him now, poor Davis." A neighbor who had been smoking for a long time took the initiative to open the coffin, pinched the black stone powder, and started to sprinkle it down.

After spreading a layer, he held the candle close to the hem of Davis' clothes.

"I lit a fire."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh-"

The man lying in the coffin jumped up and slapped his legs wildly.

"Why did you start from the middle first???" Davis, who had come back from the dead, was extremely horrified.

There was a blood hole as big as the mouth of a bowl on the top of his head. When he jumped, the blood kept dripping, which was extremely scary.

"Ahhhhhhh-"

"Ahhhh——"

"Fake corpse!!!"

Others at the funeral were also emotional.

[Class Representative]: Davis: I died, and I lived again, I didn’t expect it (dog head)

[Literary Instructor]: I would like to call it roast chicken

[Pippi shrimps go to heaven and earth]: So naughty

[Mistakes were made in the melon field]: Laughing out loud like a donkey

[Meilin Headlines]: #A man did this to escape debt#

Lin Yebai was always calm and even saw that the big bloody hole on Davis' head was a prank prop. Davis is really a little genius. Men were silent and women were in tears.

As Davis jumped, the trick prop fell to the ground.

Soon, screams came from the cemetery.

The extremely angry creditors punched Davis until he was swollen.

"Mr. Linn, do you want to punch him twice? Does he also owe medical bills?" asked the old man from before.

Suddenly, Davis's swollen and narrowed eyes revealed a very frightened look.

He really doesn’t owe Mr. Lin En any money...

[Messenger of Justice]: Zaizai can politely punch Davis twice.

[Crispy Shark]: Yes, this old bastard is so bad that he made you lost for two days.

"No, thank you." Lin Yebai politely refused.

Soon, neighbors left the cemetery, leaving Davis there.

Davis' coffin was taken away by them.

I have never seen anyone as shameless as Davis!

"Maybe you didn't need a doctor two days ago, but you will definitely need it today." Lin Yebai planned to ask him about the epidemic. Maybe something will be gained.

"Yes sir, I need it very much." Davis walked with a limp, his buttocks were swollen, and you could even see a few footprints.

"Go to your quarters."

It started to rain lightly halfway, so Lin Yebai opened his big umbrella.

Davis seemed a little cold, sneezed and coughed uncontrollably. He seemed to realize something, his face turned pale and his pupils shrank. Could it be that he was also infected?

"Maybe it's a cold." Lin Yebai comforted him when he saw that he was really worried.

"Yes, yes, it must be a cold." His face was still pale, and the extreme terror was slightly relieved.

Davis took Lin Yebai back to his residence.

No. 117 Coconut Grove Road is located in a worthless neighborhood. It is an old and dilapidated two-story house. No one will choose to buy a house here unless they are extremely poor.

His home was somewhat empty due to the funeral, and some of the trash had been cleared away, but the smell still lingered.

"Medicinal oil." Lin Yebai took out a small bottle of safflower oil from the medicine compartment.

These were [miscellaneous things] he got in the previous world. He had no use for them, so he kept them in the space just in case. He didn't expect to actually use them.

Davis was about to take it when he found that Lin Yebai had not let go, showing a bitter smile:

"Mr. Linn, I don't have enough silver coins now. Can I give it to you later?"

"I will never lie to you."

"You can exchange it for news about the epidemic." Lin Yebai's tone was calm. After coming out of the beak mask, he was particularly cold and inhumane.

"good."

Davis found a place to sit. His butt hurt, so he had to stand.

Lin Yebai didn't want to sit in his home, stand in front of the window, and listen to Davis recount a voyage many years ago:

"At that time, I was still the captain of the Black Whale. I really was, but no one wanted to believe it."

"The Black Whale was once the largest merchant ship in the empire. Twenty years ago, it suddenly crashed into the sea and turned into a ghost ship. Many people died on the ship. I was lucky and escaped."

"Sailing into the middle of the sea, such a plague appeared on the ship. The symptoms and death cycle of the plague in Urantoli were exactly the same as at that time."

"There was no resource supply point nearby, and later we lost our way in a big storm. There was a lack of medicine at sea, and those who were sick began to fight each other for medicine in order to survive. The Black Whale fell into an unprecedented darkness and chaos."

"I was also injured at the time. The first mate slashed my chest with a knife and thought I was dead. In fact, I hid in the cabin, and the cook on the ship secretly took care of me."

Davis lifted his clothes, and there was indeed a scar on his chest that ran from his shoulder to his waist, and it was sutured crookedly.

"The cabin is used to transport slaves. The best slaves in the empire are packed into boxes and shipped overseas, where they can be sold at a high price."

"Every time a slave dies, they are usually thrown into the sea."

"I also hid in a wooden box and always smelled blood. At first I thought it was the blood on my chest, but later I found that it was coming from a box in the corner."

"The cook would send a mute to throw the bodies of dead slaves into the sea, but during that period, there was not enough food, so the dead slaves were shipped out. I don't know what happened later."

"Usually they would only feed the slaves by sending food and water in through the small hole. The next time they come, if someone eats the food and water, it means that the slaves in the box are not dead. If not, they will check whether the slaves are dead."

"The box in the corner will disappear every day when food and water are put in. The mute never checked it, and I always felt scared."

"One day, I quietly opened the box when no one was around-"

A thunderclap sounded outside the window, illuminating the entire city as bright as day.

Davis shuddered, his face was paler than ever, he could hardly stand, he held on to the window frame tightly, his voice trembling:

"I saw, I saw the slave in the box, his skin was peeled off, he smiled at me, the box was full of blood, and there were dense little bugs..."

"She was the most beautiful of all the slaves, she seemed to be the illegitimate daughter of some noble, she offended someone and was sold to the exchange."

"She is very beautiful, a devout believer in the true God, everyone says she has the smile closest to God."

"She experienced a terrible thing when she first boarded the ship, some nobles... some crew members, they were all very bad."

"I couldn't stop them, I was just a civilian captain, I could only send her medicine for her wounds, I hope she can live well, and when she reaches the country on the other side of the continent, maybe she can meet a good master."

"That day, I was so scared that I fainted. When I woke up, I returned to my box. "

"She would still eat when the mute brought her food."

"I used to listen to the sound of the waves and didn't think it was strange. I started to have a fever and was in a daze all day. I didn't know what happened. I could always hear the sound of insects biting. They were eating meat."

"I wanted to speak, but I couldn't say a word."

"Many people died of illness on the ship. They started to party and asked the mute to drag the box in the corner out."

"It was also that night that the ship hit the reef."

"I was in a wooden box, floating on the sea, and saw the sunken Black Whale. She was sitting on the bow, wearing a white dress, smiling at me."

"In the blink of an eye, she turned into a skeleton with meat filaments, and many insects crawled all over her body..."

Davis burst into tears and choked when he said this.

"I was lucky. I drifted to an isolated island, and then I met a caravan. After several years of wandering, I finally returned to Ulanto."

"I have no way, no way to help her get revenge."

"I don't even know who her enemy is. I can't sail anymore. I get a headache when I see the waves, and I think of the Black Whale. Every night, I dream about her smiling at me on the bow."

"If I don't drink, I can't fall asleep."

"Maybe it would be better if I really died."

"Are you pretending to be dead to avoid debt, or for other reasons?" Lin Yebai gestured to continue.

"I want to leave here and go to another city. The plague will occupy this place sooner or later."

"Why don't you tell the city lord about the curse? If you had told him earlier, maybe the plague would have been controlled in time."

"I don't want to expose myself. I don't know what I will encounter. The Black Whale was loaded with many treasures at that time. After it sank, the Empire never gave up salvaging, and other forces were also salvaging."

"I wrote a letter about the curse of the forbidden book and tried to put it on the table of the Duke of Dark Raven, but nothing happened."

"Who have you told the truth about the sinking of the Black Whale?"

"Today is the first time I have told it. Sometimes when I am drunk and lying on the ground, I may tell it, but I guess no one will care."

"No one knows that I am a survivor of the Black Whale. Even if I brag every day, no one will believe it, and even think I am a stupid lunatic."

"Haizmo Davis, is this your original name?" Lin Yebai asked him.

"I changed my name, sir. It was originally called Allen."

"Let's continue talking about the plague." Lin Yebai's voice was slightly cold, which made people clear their minds and even calmed down their overly excited emotions.

Davis covered his face, wiped it with his sleeve, and coughed:

"I accidentally saw this curse in a banned book. As long as you can peel off the human skin and dedicate the flesh and blood to the evil god, you can realize your wish."

"This disease should be the curse of the evil god. Someone in the city must have repeated this curse."

"When I was on the ship, there was no way to cure it. If it was Ulanto, I don't know."

"If the person who set up the curse is killed, will the plague disappear?" Lin Yebai asked.

"I don't know." Davis said the secret that had been weighing on his heart for so long, and he felt more relaxed than ever before. It seemed that the pain that had been following him for many years had dissipated a little.

"Is the forbidden book still there?"

"It's still there, sir. If you need it, I'll take it out." Davis moved his bed away, pried open a few wooden boards in the corner, and found that the place where things were originally placed was empty, and the forbidden book was missing.

"If you hide a forbidden book privately, you will be burned to death."

"I have to leave here." Davis sighed heavily.

"The road out of the city should be blocked. How do you get out?"

The plague broke out, and Ulanto has been completely blocked.

"Sewer."

"I used to repair the sewer, and got a map. I know there is an abandoned drainage outlet that can leave the city."

"If you want to leave here too, we can go together." Davis asked sincerely:

"Don't you want to leave this place?"
