Lily was frightened by this scene and didn't care about being sad anymore. She asked with wide eyes, "Who is this person?"
"The daughter of the two governors, I heard her name is Shanshan."
"A daughter!? Impossible?! Is she born to Mr. Charles and his monster sister?"
For some reason, when Lily heard the news, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.
"She's not some monster sister. She's the child of Governor Anna and Governor Charles."
The maid with twin ponytails said to Lily again, "Little Lily, she took your breakfast away. You must not be full yet. Do you want me to ask the kitchen to make another one?"
"No... No need, I'm full." Lily turned around and rushed towards the door.
When they arrived at the busy street, Lily walked along the street in a daze. She suddenly felt as if something very important to her was taken away by someone else. She was not important at all to Mr. Charles.
"At least I'm Mr. Charles' gunner, and he still needs me when he searches for the surface."
Lily's mood suddenly became worse as she muttered to herself. The surface had been found and Charles no longer needed a gunner on his ship.
She suddenly felt empty in her heart and didn't know what she should do now.
Her goal should be to find a way to become a human and eventually return to her own world, but Lily suddenly felt that she did not want to become a human so quickly.
After wandering around the streets, Lily eventually arrived at the sanatorium. She walked in.
Through the glass, the crew members with different expressions saw the golden mouse. They rushed to hit the glass and greeted her in all kinds of confusing languages. Although they were crazy, they still recognized Lily.
Lily felt sadder and sadder as she watched. She couldn't help but shed tears. "Is it because I came back that they became like this? If I hadn't come back, would everyone be better off?"
Just then, a big hand reached out from behind and grabbed Lily.
Lily turned around and relaxed when she saw the person who caught her. It was James. "Hello, Mr. Big."
James, with a complicated expression, gently scratched Lily's back with his fingers. "It's none of your business. They became like this for other reasons."
In front of them, Dipper was wearing a straitjacket and wriggling on the ground like a maggot.
Lily looked up at James, "What's the reason? Didn't Charles say they were cursed by the gods?"
"Think about it, why is it such a coincidence that all the crew members are hostile to her, and she is responsible for stabilizing everyone's sanity and will, but they all go crazy at once, and no one escapes. This is too strange."
At this moment, James held Lily in front of his eyes. "Lily, you don't have to worry about these things. You have more important things to do now, which is to help me monitor Anna."
"Why are you spying on Sister Monster? Isn't she from our side?"
James looked around and found no suspicious people. He continued, "No, she was never on our side. Think about what she did. And don't forget that her food is humans. I have never forgotten that her true identity is a monster that can change memories at will. Let's not talk about the crew first. Do you remember Leonardo?"
"That very kind uncle? I have a little impression of him."
"He was a very cunning man before, and he had his own dark thoughts in any situation."
“Isn’t this good?”
"Of course it's not good! He has been completely and utterly subjugated by that monster! If it's not stopped, everyone on the entire island will become her slaves! Just like the Crown of the World!"
As he said this, he took out a silver little ring and put it on Anna's tail.
"With this thing, she won't change your mind. You have to stay by the captain's side and collect evidence that she is silently modifying the captain's consciousness. Also, you must not tell the captain about this."
"Can't we even tell Mr. Charles? Didn't they say they already have children?" Lily looked embarrassed.
"That's just her way of controlling the captain! How can a human and a monster have a child? Didn't you see that he actually made that monster the governor? The captain has completely become her puppet. Telling him is the same as telling that monster!"
At this point, James stared at Lily with an extremely serious expression. "Lily, this island that we finally got after so much hardship is not only home to my family, but also other people's families. This place must not become a dining table for a man-eating monster."
"Well... okay, I will complete the task." Lily finally agreed.
James smiled and gently touched Lily's head. "Thank you, little Lily."
Then he put Lily down and watched her slowly walk out of the sanatorium.
James turned around and looked at his companions behind the glass with a firm gaze, "Don't worry, even if I'm the only one left, I will definitely protect our island!"
Lily walked absent-mindedly on the busy street, her mind full of what James had just said.
"This is just surveillance, nothing much has been said. Although I also think that Sister Monster would not do this, it is not bad to have an extra layer of insurance for Mr. Charles' safety."
Just as she was thinking this, she didn't notice that someone was walking towards her.
She didn't notice it, but other beings did. A large group of colorfully dyed rats quickly crawled out from the darkness, quickly surrounded Lily, and bared their teeth at the man, making intimidating hissing sounds.
The man was a tall, square-faced, gray-haired old man who looked particularly gloomy in all black. His dark brown eyes were very sharp, like a pair of eagle eyes.
Lily suddenly felt a chill down her spine and her body shuddered involuntarily.
"Let's... let's go home." Lily turned around and prepared to run towards the Governor's Mansion.
But just as she turned around, the old man appeared in front of Lily and reached out to grab her.
The rats moved quickly and pounced on him.
But as several gray shadows suddenly popped out from the old man's sleeves, the mice flew away one after another.
