Chapter 355: Live Again and Look Forward
Hearing this, although Brooke showed no expression, he was a little excited inside.
He hadn't heard such praise for a long time, and this recognition temporarily alleviated the loneliness in his heart.
"Oh wow, I'm so flattered! I'm so honored to receive praise from such a great person!"
Brooke bowed exaggeratedly, as if trying to hide his inner turmoil with this humorous gesture.
Jin An looked at Brooke in front of him with a hint of admiration and curiosity in his eyes.
This skeleton musician forgotten in the Devil's Triangle is not only an extremely magical existence, he may also have more untapped potential.
Thinking of this, Jinan's gaze couldn't help but become more profound.
"Brooke, are you satisfied with your life now?"
Jin An suddenly asked, with a hint of tentativeness and expectation in his tone.
Brook was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Jin An to suddenly ask such a question.
As a man who has died once, his life has long become colorless.
Every day he is alone, drifting in this sea full of terror and loneliness. Although he can occasionally find a little comfort in music, he can never get rid of the loneliness and loss in his heart.
He was silent for a moment, then whispered:
"Sir, are you digging into the thoughts of a dead person? There is nothing worth talking about in my life."
After hearing this, Jinan's eyes flickered slightly.
He felt the pain and struggle deep in Brooke's heart, and he also understood that this was the opportunity for him to establish a connection with Brooke.
"Perhaps, your life can have a new beginning."
Jinan's voice was firm and powerful, as if conveying a belief of hope to Brooke.
"Come with me, I need someone like you."
"Besides, there's no point in you staying here any longer."
Brook was stunned, his head was almost filled with question marks.
The admiral in front of him actually invited him, a pirate, to join his team?
Is he hallucinating, or is the person opposite him a fake?
His mind was in a mess and he felt that the development of things was completely beyond his understanding.
"I'm a pirate..."
Brooke said weakly, a hint of tentativeness and uneasiness in her voice.
He was very clear about his identity. As a pirate, his existence was inherently opposed to the navy.
Jinan's proposal confused him, as if the whole world had been turned upside down.
However, Jin An just shook his head lightly, denying Brooke's statement.
"You've already died once. Does it matter to you whether you're a pirate or a navy?"
His tone was calm, as if he was stating an indisputable fact.
Brooke's expression changed, from initial shock to gradual confusion.
He subconsciously raised his hand and touched his skull. Although he no longer had a body, the confusion deep in his heart still made him feel uneasy.
He did die once, and his former identity, honor, and dreams seemed to have disappeared into the depths of the ocean along with that battle.
Now, he is just a lonely skeleton, drifting in this eerie and terrifying sea.
Jin An saw Brook's inner turmoil, but his eyes remained firm and there was a hint of guiding power in his voice.
"If you live your life again, you must look forward."
He spoke slowly, and every word hit Brooke's heart like a hammer.
Brooke lowered his head, his mind racing.
He knew that he was no longer the high-spirited pirate he once was, but an undead being played around by fate.
But Jin An's words made him start to reflect on his current life.
All along, he has been wandering in the shadow of the past, constantly immersed in the pain and loneliness of losing his companions, and never really thinking about the future.
Just as Brooke was lost in thought, Jin An continued to speak.
"Also, I heard from Kulokas that there is a whale named Labu that has been hitting the Twin Capes in search of companions. But fortunately, Kulokas is there to take care of it, and Labu is very healthy."
He paused, glancing at Brooke, his tone tentative.
"It should be your companion, right? Do you really want to stay here forever?"
Hearing the name "Lab", Brooke's eyes suddenly lit up.
That whale, the loyal companion who stayed at Twin Capes even after their band disbanded, has always been the deepest pain in his heart.
The huge figure of Lab immediately appeared in his mind, as well as its eyes filled with expectation and despair.
He once vowed to go back and reunite with Rab, but as time passed, his hopes were gradually eroded by the cruel reality.
"Rabu..."
Brook muttered to himself, and the two balls of soul fire in his eyes seemed to burn brighter.
A long-lost impulse suddenly surged up in his heart, it was the desire for the future, the fulfillment of a promise, and the call for the friendship of long-lost companions.
He raised his head and looked at Jin An. There was no longer confusion in his eyes, but a hint of determination.
"You're right. Whether it's a pirate or a navy, it doesn't matter to me anymore."
Brooke's voice became steady, as if he had regained some of his former strength.
"As long as I'm alive, I shouldn't continue to dwell in the shadow of the past."
Jin An nodded slightly and showed a satisfied smile.
"You still have a lot to do if you live again."
He said, with an encouraging tone in his voice.
Brooke took a deep breath, and even though he no longer needed to breathe, it was as if this was the resolution he had made for himself.
He put down the violin that once comforted him and looked at Jin An with firm eyes.
"I will go with you, not for anything else, just for that promise, for my unfulfilled dream."
Jinan looked at Brooke, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
He knew that the skeleton musician had made his choice, and this choice would bring him new hope and strength.
"very good."
Jinan patted Brooke's shoulder gently, turned and walked towards the coast.
"Then let us go to embrace new adventures together."
Brooke followed him, her heart filled with long-lost anticipation and hope.
He once thought his life was over, but now, he finds that he still has more stories to write and more dreams to pursue.
And all this has just begun.
and.
"Lab, I can finally see you again. I will not break my promise, even though I am a skeleton now."
“Yohohoho…”
