Romance of Gods

Chapter 155 Bartender III

Although Darwin did not say much, the amount of information contained in it was extremely large.

"He", Darwin and Kress should be old acquaintances, and they had very deep grudges in the past.

Considering the last time I saw Darwin sticking his head out of the secret door of the cubicle, could it be that he killed Cress?

Then contact the treasure in the tomb of Wright's mother Luna and the secret passage connected to Cress Manor.

All the loose and unclear questions seem to be answered soon.

Although he was eager to know the secret behind it, Chen Yan looked extremely calm and was not in a hurry to ask questions.

Maybe he could take advantage of his amnesia to get Darwin to tell everything he knew.

"What does Cress have to do with me? Darwin, you are too lenient."

"you……"

Hearing this, Darwin was speechless for a moment.

"Of course it has something to do with us! If it weren't for that guy Kress, how could our life be so poor today? He took away everything that belonged to the three of us!"

Chen Yan's face was full of confusion, "I don't understand a word of what you are talking about."

Darwin thought Chen Yan was playing a trick on him and was about to get angry when suddenly a guest came in. He quickly lowered his head.

"what!"

When the guests saw the body on the ground, they screamed and ran away.

Chen Yan took this opportunity to explain: "I really don't know what you are talking about. Whether you believe it or not, this is a fact... I have lost my memory. I have forgotten everything about the past. For you, I I only vaguely remember the name.”

"You, amnesia?"

Chen Yan didn't expect that after Darwin heard this, not only did he not question it, but he looked at him with extremely sympathetic eyes.

After a while, he lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "Is this your sequelae?"

"Sequelae, what do you mean?"

"look!"

Darwin didn't explain in words, he grabbed the sweater with both hands and pulled it up, exposing his belly.

Chen Yan frowned, looking at his stomach, a feeling of nausea rose up in his throat.

Darwin's entire abdomen was rotten, with yellow pus oozing out from the dark red eroded flesh, and dense maggots were rolling around.

"You see, Jin...this is my sequelae. Although my soul is still alive, my body is dead. I have been tortured by this pain for more than 20 years! You are lucky, the sequelae are just amnesia. But why? Why? We are all tortured by pain, but that guy Claes can become a millionaire and live a luxurious life that is superior to others!"

Darwin was emotional and his eyes were red. He put down his sweater and lay on the countertop crying. Suddenly he clenched his fist and hammered it, and looked directly at Chen Yan.

"This is not fair! We should let Kress also experience this pain! Let him die in the most painful way! We don't have much time, Jin, we have to kill him today!"

What have the three of them experienced in the past?
Chen Yan poured a glass of liqueur and pushed it to Darwin, and said calmly: "Killing is not a simple matter. I have lost my memory now. Even if Kress really has a grudge against me, he is just a stranger in my eyes at this moment. If you want me to act with you, you must at least let me know what happened in the past."

Darwin took a sip of wine and began to calm down, "It should be, this is what it should be...but you should always remember one thing. In the beginning, 40 years ago, the three of us were best friends. Of course, to be precise, We say we are just companions, because we are all orphans. If you want to make a living on the streets of the foggy city, you can't survive without a group."

The three people were indeed old acquaintances.

Chen Yan shook his head, "To be honest, the most I can remember is what happened yesterday. Don't worry, you can speak slower and try to explain all the details clearly."

Darwin sighed and spoke slowly.

The three of us supported each other, begging for food and stealing, and our days went on like this.

When we were almost teenagers, you suggested that wandering like this was not a long-term solution and that we needed to find a stable job.

Cleese and I both agreed, and just like that, we went to the dock to work as coolies together.

The foreman at that time saw that we were strong and willing to work without our lives. He admired us very much and would give us an extra two copper coins on top of our basic salary every day.

At that time, we all thought that we had met a noble person. If we worked hard like this for a few years, we would definitely own our own house in London.

At that time, we were too young and suffered a lot, so whenever someone showed kindness to us, we wanted to give our lives to him.

But subsequent experiences will make us understand that no one in this world is trustworthy, including partners who depend on each other for life!
At this point, Darwin looked hard and gritted his teeth.

That day the foreman came to us privately and told us that he had a good job, which was to go out to sea to salvage ambergris. Whoever could catch it would get the spice.

We were very excited at that time because that small piece of spice could be worth our years of hard work.

There were about 60 people on the ship going out to sea, not including the crew, all of whom were good at working on the dock.

In the early days of the voyage, we all looked forward to making a lot of money, and it was fun to look at the sea every day.

But soon after, we discovered something was wrong, because the boat kept moving forward with no intention of stopping.

When I asked the foreman, he just said that fishing for ambergris was like that. The boat had to keep sailing and it needed to be lucky.

The second time we discovered something was wrong, we learned through chatting that most of the workers on the ship were homeless.Even if they all died in the sea, no one would care.

Everyone was frightened and asked the foreman to return, but what awaited us was the crew's punches and kicks. The foreman's attitude also changed drastically and he was no longer pleasant.

We didn't dare to resist. Suddenly one day, a child cried and told us in the cabin.

He said that this ship was not going to take us to salvage spices at all, but to transport us to the New World and sell us as coolies to the farmers who were going there to open up wasteland!
Because the coolies plundered from other continents could not keep up with their consumption rate, they took advantage of us vagrants.

The foreman's previous kindness to us was just to get us to lower our guard.

We fell into despair, and in order to survive, we started a bloody fight with the foreman.

Now when I think about the cruel scene of that day, I can't help but vomit.

Hearing this, Chen Yan temporarily interrupted him, "Do you really believe that child's words? A long-term depressive environment at sea can cause mental breakdown, especially for children."

Darwin shook his head, "Of course I believe it, not just me, but you and everyone else believed it at the time. I still remember the name of the child. He is called Li. He is very honest and never lies. If he is still alive now, he probably He’s an old man now.”

plum!
Chen Yan's pupils trembled slightly. That homeless man with the wrinkled chin...did he already have contact with Kress and others many years ago?

He asked another question by mistake, "What was the name of the ship we were on?"

Darwin immediately replied, "I will never forget that hellish ship. It was called the Arara!"

The Arara...the ship of pirate leader Zheng E!

"But after that storm, the ship should have been scrapped."

Chen Yan took a deep breath and suppressed the fear beating in his heart. It seemed that these people were destined to go to Clays Manor on the same day.

"Okay, keep talking, I won't interrupt you again."

Yes, where did I just say that?storm!That storm!

As the fight on the ship came to an end, an unprecedented storm swept across the sea.

Huge waves overturned the ship, the sea made rumbling waves, and it rained heavily.

It seemed like an invisible giant, standing in the sea with its head raised and crying.

Me, Cleese, and you, the three of us clinging to a piece of driftwood, supporting each other.

But the storm was so terrible that we were unable to resist the natural disaster and finally sank into the sea.

We sank deeper and deeper, feeling like our insides were going to explode.

At this time, I don’t know whether it was you or Clais, but suddenly discovered that in the deep water full of whirlpools, there was actually a terrifying door wrapped in fire and thunder floating in the water!
We all knew that there might be hell behind that door, but the instinct of survival will make people forget all fear, and we swam in without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, what is behind the door is like another world, with no sea water and no light, only lingering thick fog and a stone bridge leading to an unknown place.

We had no choice but to walk along the stone bridge and look for the exit.

I don’t know if I walked for a few days or weeks, but the bridge seemed infinitely long.

When we were about to despair, we finally came to the end.

To this day I still can’t believe that what is waiting for us is endless gold, silver and gems!

Oh my God!It seems like all the treasures in the world are gathered here!

We all went crazy, took off all our clothes, made a simple huge bag, and started grabbing treasures endlessly!
When the pockets were full, we started looking separately to see if there were any other bags around that could contain treasures.

After not looking for long, Kress suddenly ran over, waving his arms and shouting: "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!"

He didn't know what he saw at that time, but as he said, the treasure land suddenly shook violently, which was more terrifying than the previous storm.

We didn't have time to think, so we ran back dragging our bags.

The moment we stepped onto the stone bridge, the bridge collapsed and the three of us fell into a dark abyss.

At this point, Darwin's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he took a sip of wine to moisten his throat.

"After falling from the bridge, none of us died. We miraculously returned to London, but we were scattered in different places. Not long after, the three of us met again on the street.

But what was strange at the time was that after seeing his old friend, Kress was not at all happy. Instead, he seemed very reserved, as if he wanted to avoid us. "

Chen Yan nodded slowly, which made sense, "He should be afraid that we will ask about the whereabouts of those treasures."

Darwin's tense expression showed some joy when he heard this, "Jin, you finally remembered!"

Chen Yan excused himself: "I vaguely remembered something."

Darwin nodded, then gritted his teeth, "Yes! It's those treasures! At that time, we both felt that this encounter was dangerous and bizarre, and it would be great if we could somehow save a life. Who would care about those treasures... But what we didn't expect was that, That batch of treasure actually fell into the hands of Clays, and he had no intention of sharing it with us!
After we met again in London, the three of us still got together every day. One day, Cleese suddenly told us that it was a kind woman who saved him this time when he returned to London.He has decided to consider this woman his mother and take good care of her. He will not be able to hang out with us in the future.

We were envious that he had the warmth of his family, and we all supported his decision.Not long after that, we also parted ways and started our own lives.But who would have thought that within a few years, this guy Claes would soar into the sky and become one of the richest men in the world, as if he had obtained the seeds of a magic bean!

How can this be?It was then that we both suddenly realized that the property was not lost, but had been swallowed up by this guy Kress.We went to him to ask for an explanation, but at this time the status of the three of us was so different that we couldn't even enter his house! "
