"These ancient treasures are priceless. The jewels themselves are valuable enough, and they are still antiques..."

The fat man said with a smile, also a little to comfort himself.In Honglu Island, there are oceans in all directions, and the land is very small. In this case, minerals are scarce, and gold, silver and jewelry are naturally even rarer than outside.

Therefore, the value of this bag of jewelry is a little higher than I thought.

But what is this money compared to the legendary Abra's corpse?

It's just something outside of the body.

However, I doubt whether the fat man will beg us to go down again. There are still many people on board, and there are plenty of desperate ones.

Not to mention Abra's corpse, this time we brought back so much money that many soldiers' eyes were already a little red.

But, to be honest, I don't want to go to that sea cave anymore.

I'm afraid we haven't really touched the horror of that place, and we haven't opened any of the ten closed doors.

I've already got the parchment that undoes the curse, so there's really no need to take any more risks.

In addition, and more importantly, since the mark of the curse developed on my chest, I have noticed that my vitality is passing away all the time. I suspect that I may only have more than ten days to live.

Now, I have to go to shore, so that I can have a chance to complete the prescription in my hand and remove my curse.

There is a shortage of supplies on this ship, and it is basically impossible to get together the prescriptions.

"Captain, I'm afraid I've been poisoned. I must go back to Honglu Island as soon as possible to seek the antidote. Can we go back now?"

I quickly asked him.

The fat man stared at me for a while, then nodded. "If we want to go back, if the weather is sunny and suitable for sailing, it will only take three days, and if the situation is not good, it will take five days or even longer."

Judging by his appearance, it seems that he is going to let us go back, but the fat man doesn't completely trust us, and he wants to arrange for us to take a bath, saying that he will cleanse us up.

Actually, I think he wanted to check to see if we had brought back something without his knowledge, like Abra's body.

In order to dispel his doubts, we did not object to his proposal. It is not a bad thing for someone to take a bath.

There are many beautiful maidservants on this boat.

Soon the bathing was over, and looking at Fatty's appearance, he didn't seem to notice anything wrong, and his attitude towards us became more and more enthusiastic.

He suggested to us that we should go back and recuperate for a few days, and when my poison is cured, we can come again next time.

We had no choice but to perfunctory him a few words without saying anything more.

Come back later?

If the curse doesn't lift, I'll probably die.

If it is lifted, I will definitely try my best to leave this ghost place.

So, we set sail and headed towards the land at the fastest speed.

Life once again fell into peace for a short time.

Although I was anxious in my heart, I tried my best to restrain myself and calm down to study the parchment brought up from the tomb.

Yuchengyao knew some ancient characters of Honglu people, but she was not an expert in this field, so we had to turn to Fatty for help. There were many cultural people on his boat, who gave us a lot of help.

After spending about two days, we finally figured out most of the medicines on the formula, but there were still three medicines with very awkward names, and even the scholars on board couldn't understand their meanings at all.

"You don't have to worry about this. In the capital, I can be regarded as the number one person. When the time comes, I will introduce you to a knowledgeable university student, who will definitely solve the mystery of this prescription."

The fat man patted his chest and promised.

Since he said so, we can only choose to believe him.

During this time on the ship, it was a time of suffering that I will never forget in my life.

In order to prevent my own curse from happening again, whenever I want to sleep, I ask Xi'er to tie me tightly.

This is not in vain.

During this period of time, I have sleepwalked several times, or it cannot be called sleepwalking. When I fell asleep for a short time, I would wake up again.

It's just that the person who woke up may not be me anymore.

Xi'er and Yuchengyao tried to communicate with the awakened "I", but they all failed.

Every time I fall into this state, it's like a madman, just screaming loudly and struggling like crazy.

Yuchengyao said that at that time my eyes were black, the veins on my forehead were bulging, and my expression was very ferocious. I didn't look like a human being, but a ghost from hell.

If it wasn't because of my body, being tightly tied round and round, I don't know what I would do!
This brought up in me a distaste and fear of sleep and of myself
I do not want to sleep.

However, the curse marks on my chest and wrists are constantly devouring my vitality, making my body gradually weaken. The feeling of weakness and coldness makes me sleepy more than usual, and I fall into a state of lethargy.

Normally, I only sleep six or seven hours a day, or even less, but these days, my daily sleep time is as high as 16 hours or more, and this time is constantly extending.

If this situation continues, I'm afraid that after I fall asleep one day, I will never wake up again.

It is possible that the body is occupied by some strange thing, or some monster grows from the chest.

The feeling of waiting to die is really hard!

Yuchengyao gave me several times more doses of her suppressive pills, but it didn't work at all. The curse has developed to this point, and her medicines have already lost their effectiveness.

I smiled wryly and told her not to waste those pills, she still had to take them herself, but Yucheng Yao shook her head, crying, insisting on feeding them to me.

Xi'er stayed with me every step of the way, crying like a tearful person every day.

Seeing the two girls so sad, my heart is also very uncomfortable.

I think those terminally ill people are probably nothing more than that.

Between life and death, there is really great terror.

Of course, for me at this moment, apart from the helplessness of being weak and the fear of death, there are also huge doubts, which are deeply troubling me.

Because those strange ancient dreams struck again.

When I fell into a deep sleep, occasionally I would return to that dream mental hospital again.

I dreamed of the unknown girl with the crescent moon tattoo, my colleague Wang Wen who committed suicide because of the humiliation, and other people who had already died, killed by others, killed by me...

Sometimes, I wonder if the place of that dream is hell?

Maybe, when the curse breaks out completely, I will be trapped in the dream space forever, in that mental hospital, forever...
