The next second, the map instantly turned into Feuerbach's head, and Charles in the distance said synchronously: "You should have used a mobile phone. I won't introduce it in detail. This thing can be operated by touch."
"Regarding the use of 002's abilities, your use is really too one-sided, so we also provide you with technical support and considerately do a good job of translation."
Charles reached into the projection and shook his hand slightly, then quickly started to operate. Soon he saw the names of the folders inside. "Necessary Conditions for Capturing Darkness", "Use of Relics", "Amplitude of Relic Abilities"...
Seeing this, Charles' heart was a little excited. He knew that with so many things, they could definitely find the darkness! Save Earthsea!
"I know you have a lot of questions in your mind, but this is not the time to chat. Once you are safe, you can contact me through this communicator. Goodbye, my captain."
After Feuerbach finished speaking, the huge flying object under him, whose tail could not be seen, trembled slightly and began to gradually retreat into the darkness.
Although the air was still filled with a strong smell of blood, the remaining crew members were as excited as Charles. The process was tortuous, but their mission was successful this time.
But there are always some people who think more than others. Nico came over and continued to look at the things in Charles's hand. He said with a puzzled expression: "Captain, do you think he really just arrived? Why is it a coincidence?"
Charles held the thing in his hand, and the joy on his face gradually faded.
"What does it matter whether we know or not? Regardless of whether they are testing us or not, in this situation, even if he did it, we have to treat it as if it wasn't done by them. The land and sea are more important than anything else right now."
"I also don't trust the Foundation, but right now we need the intelligence and data they have."
—————————
Inside a factory on Hope Island, a group of children were working. Nini struggled to hold the file, which was not much smaller than her arm, and concentrated on filing the white copper burrs on the gear in front of her.
"Wuwuwu~ Teacher, I don't want to do this, I want to go back to school to read. Look, the stinky oil has stained my skirt. Wuwuwu~"
The crying sound next to her made Nini look up, and she saw her deskmate Jasmine complaining to the teacher.
But it was obvious that Teacher Leblanc was not as easy to talk to as Teacher Annie. She pushed her glasses on her face and lowered her head arrogantly.
"There's no point in crying. You're already 9 years old, and you're still crying? It's just one class. I'm not asking you to work in a factory every day. Go back quickly. If you don't finish today's homework, you'll be detained today!!"
Seeing Jasmine choking and returning to her side, Nini comforted her: "It's okay, I've done it, I'll help you later, it will be quick when we do it together."
Seeing that resistance was futile, Jasmine could only raise her hand and pick up the file reluctantly.
Compared to the sad-looking girls, the boys in the class were obviously much happier. Compared to writing in the classroom, they liked doing this more. Especially since this was something they had never done before, the novelty of the first time made them very excited.
Half an hour later, the bell rang and, led by the teacher, they lined up to leave the factory. Because today was the last class, they didn't have to go back to school, and the teacher ordered them to leave right there.
Some boys were competing with each other to see which gear they stole was better, while the girls were thinking about going back as soon as possible to take off their dirty clothes.
"Nini, aren't you leaving?" Jasmine asked curiously to Nini who was standing at the factory gate.
After she looked for a while, she found that the light in front of her was blocked by someone. She raised her head and found a lovely girl like an elf standing gracefully in front of her.
Looking at that delicate and flawless face and those bright green cross-shaped pupils, Nini was stunned for a second, and then her expression immediately changed from confusion to surprise.
She stood up and jumped forward happily. Because she was shorter than him, her head hit his slightly arched chest.
"Shanshan!! Great! It's you!! How did you grow up so fast?!"
The corners of Shanshan's mouth slightly raised, revealing a lovely smile, she stretched out her arms and hugged her good friend in the same way. "Nini. Long time no see. Sorry, I've been busy recently, so I don't have time to come over."
"It's okay. I'll be very happy as long as you play with me." Nini suddenly thought of something, turned around, picked up the book on the ground, and put it in front of Shanshan.
"Shanshan, look, this is a new picture book that my mother bought for me. The little people drawn in this book are more interesting than the little people I saw when I ate mushrooms."
Shanshan took it and flipped through it casually. The content was very biased.
She remembered this kind of book, which was invented by her mother. It was called a comic book. It could be very good at instilling ideas into the illiterate islanders and better control their thinking.
At the beginning, she asked why she didn't use her own power to control it, but her mother said that her father's subordinates would be unhappy and they had to do it according to human methods. She also said that this could achieve the same purpose of control and it would be easier.
"Thank you, but I'm not interested in these." Shanshan smiled and returned the four-frame comic book.
Nini took the book back in surprise, "Don't you like it? This is a book that the Governor just published. It just started selling yesterday. Everyone likes to read it, even some adults like to read it."
Shanshan looked at the smaller Nini calmly and reached out to hold her hand. The environment around them changed instantly and they were back at Nini's home.
Nini was already used to Twinkle's abilities. She wanted to do something fun with her friend. "How about we watch a puppet show? The Magnetic Image Store just released two new puppet shows."
Nini pulled Shanshan to her big-butt TV and plugged it in. "Let me tell you, other places can't use electricity, but we can still use electricity at home. My classmates at school envy me when they hear that I can still watch TV every night. Hehe."
Soon the screen gradually lit up, and Nini pulled Shanshan to sit on the sofa and started watching with relish.
The screen shows a story about a man fishing on the beach and fighting wits with his fishing rod. Most puppet shows for children have simple content and exaggerated plots.
Every time Nini laughed out loud at something funny, Shanshan's face didn't change at all. She had a hint of confusion on her face. Why was this puppet show not funny anymore? She had obviously enjoyed watching it just as much as Nini had a few months ago.
