Dream Guide - #356 - Chapter 356 Vague uneasiness

Tabu is an ancient forbidden place that cannot be entered by those who have not been inspired by the gods. In both Tubuai and the Bass Islands, there are many stories about people who entered Tubu without permission and were punished by the gods. Some people would contract strange diseases, some would become blind or mute, and most of them would become mad.

Petru was dubious about this. He was not a complete atheist, but he was not superstitious either. If Tabu is an altar set up by the ancestors of the indigenous people, why are there special marks on these charts? He believed that the person who drew the picture was a great pirate and could not be the ancestor of the Maori people living in the Southern Islands. A pirate might fear the sea god, but he would never care about a few small native altars.

Moreover, the charts show that these things are distributed on islands within a thousand nautical miles. The indigenous people in the Pacific are very divided in race and belief, and it is impossible to have unified sacrificial rituals in such a large area. If the Maori or some other race had unified this place and left such extensive relics, then New Zealand, Australia and even intelligence should be able to find corresponding clues.

Therefore, Petru believes that these taboos are probably not the relics left by the Maori indigenous ancestors, but the pirates who drew the pictures. There may well be some secret hidden there, such as a priceless shipwreck, the location of a huge treasure, or a hidden pirate lair.

Petru guessed that the triangle in the center of the chart was the real secret, and all the clues were on the surrounding islands with Tabu.

These islands in the Pacific are secluded enough, and the existence of Tabu makes the locals afraid to approach, which provides Petru with the best hiding place.

He first found an uninhabited desert island with a tarab near the Bass Islands and hid on it.

At the beginning, he only lived on the outskirts of Tabu. After all, there were so many rumors about Tabu’s taboos circulating here, and he didn’t want to become a madman. However, as a pirate, the clues left by his predecessors were too tempting. Driven by curiosity, Petru walked into the messy piles of stones.

After entering, Petru quickly understood why anyone who entered Tarb would become a madman.

These piles of stones are like a huge spiritual energy array. As soon as a person enters, his consciousness will receive a strong spiritual impact. When an ordinary person enters here, his self-consciousness is likely to lose control, and he will either become a madman or a fool.

Even with his training in awakening under the guidance of a priest, Petrou almost fell for the Tao. It took him a long time to adapt to this mental shock. And according to his observation, the spiritual power here may come from some ancient remnants. These taboos must have been more powerful and terrifying in the distant past than they are now.

He didn’t know why the stones here had spiritual power, as if there were thousands of years old monsters buried underground. This reminded him of many things——

The mummy that was smuggled out and has now sunk to the bottom of the sea, the nautical chart that was originally placed with the mummy and is now in his hand, the spiritual man who is stronger than the priest who escorts a cargo ship alone…

These things are connected with these mysterious taboos on the South Pacific islands, sketching out the outlines of some vague truth of the incident. He knows——

The ship he robbed was not a smuggling ship bound for somewhere in Asia. Its real destination was a ghost island in the South Pacific, or the triangle surrounded by ghost islands.

Why bring here a mummy that has been dead for perhaps thousands of years?

Petru felt vaguely uneasy.

He wanted to leave here, and he might have broken into the other party’s lair. But then he thought, maybe the most dangerous place is the safest. Moreover, since they are chasing him for the chart, it means that this chart may be the only one. They probably do not have the exact coordinates here, at least they do not know the locations of all ghost islands.

So Petru continued to hide on the island. For the convenience of life, he moved to Tubuai Island. There are more than 2,000 indigenous residents here, and the tourism industry is well developed. Life is quite convenient among the underdeveloped islands on the fringes of the Southern Archipelago. And there happens to be a Tabu on this island, located in the most desolate corner of the island.

He settled in a gorge behind the slopes of Tab, where there was a bay where he could dock his ships. He has laid many traps around him, and his hidden weapons are everywhere.

Petrou did not remain anonymous because he knew that as the world’s most famous pirate, his whereabouts were unlikely to remain a secret. If those people must find him, they will find him here sooner or later. So he simply continued to use the name Petru and deal with the island’s residents.

Of course, he only interacted with others when necessary, and spent most of the other time in Tabu on the mountain. The people on the island wanted to expel him at first, thinking that this outsider had offended the gods and ancestors here, but how could they deal with this pirate king who dared to go head-to-head with the Indian Navy and caused huge headaches for governments around the world. Many young people on the island have been taught a lesson by him, but he is very smart and knows how to do things well. By relying on the strategy of “beat you with a stick and give you a piece of candy”, he not only allowed the natives to use force against him Feeling scared made them reluctant to part with his generosity. For the sake of money, the residents of Tubuai Island did not drive him away. They only said behind his back that he was a madman punished by the gods, and kept young people and children away from him.

Petru also understands the principle of a cunning rabbit with three burrows. In addition to Tubuai, he also stocked food and weapons on two other uninhabited islands.

After settling in, he drove the ship and shuttled between the islands, hoping to find all the ghost islands on the sea map, so as to further discover the secrets between mummies, tabu and spiritual power.

Apart from that, he hid in Tabli, where there was no one to invade and it was a good place to practice spiritual power. During this period, his mental strength improved rapidly. Although without the guidance of a famous teacher, he didn’t know what to do next and could only practice blindly based on his feelings.

Then, during an accidental shooting, he discovered that the gun and bullets that had been placed in Tabu for a long time actually had weak spiritual energy, as if it had primitive consciousness, just like the beginning of the growth of all things, gestating in the spring of life. The earliest chaotic consciousness that came out.

When he aimed at his prey, the bullet seemed to be able to calculate its own flight trajectory and lock onto the target in conjunction with Petru’s mind and spirit. This allowed him to get rid of the scope and use the naked eye to aim at the target at a long distance, and the shooting accuracy was no worse than using instruments, or even better.

Petru knew that this might be an illusion, because long-range sniping is not a simple straight-line shooting. It also requires precise calculations based on the mass of the bullet, initial velocity, wind force, wind direction, and air humidity at the time, and finally adds A little bit of the sniper’s own experience and feelings. Even if Bullet had primitive consciousness, it would be impossible for him to suddenly learn Newton’s three laws on a desert island. It should have been Petrou who locked the target himself, and the bullet only played a subtle mental bridging role, but in the conscious feeling, it was like the bullet automatically locked the target.
