"Did you find this from a monster in the Sea of Mist?"
Anna, lying on the white sofa, held the palm-sized note in her hand with her fingers.
The paper, which should have been wet, dried quickly as she turned it, and the slightly blurry content on it quickly became clear.
"Well, this side has my portrait, and the other side has a message from my father. He secretly stuffed this paper into the body of a fish and scared it, so that it fled from the Foundation's territory."
"The Foundation's territory is very strange. It seems to block my senses. Otherwise, I should have felt it when my father drew this picture."
Anna narrowed her eyes slightly and carefully checked the contents of the note in her hand. The words on it were very small. Charles had already recounted in detail what had happened to him through this piece of paper.
The relationship between the Foundation and the Hik Clan, Plan No. 3, and his current situation.
"I had only guessed that the foundation was somewhere in the South China Sea, but I didn't expect that they were actually the gods of the Haik tribe. They are truly hidden in the city."
"Mom, how is Dad?" Shanshan ran to the side and looked at the contents of the paper.
When she first found the paper, she immediately gave it to her mother without even looking at it herself.
"Not very good. Very bad. He failed to escape this time. They will definitely not accept him into the Foundation again. It is very likely that he will be used as an experimental subject next time."
"What are we waiting for! Let's go and rescue him as soon as possible!" Shanshan's face looked very anxious.
"Don't worry, they won't kill Charles easily. As a chosen one of the gods, he is a rare test subject."
"And he is also the chosen one of Idik. This god is usually very mysterious. Not only are there few records of him among the humans of Earthsea, but there are also very few records of him among other creatures of Earthsea."
"Charles's diversionary tactics this time did not attract the Foundation's attention. This may be an opportunity. We need to think carefully about how to make good use of it."
Anna's eyes looked vague as she spoke of this, as if she was recalling something.
Shanshan frowned slightly, and said with a somewhat tangled expression: "But Dad is suffering, we can't just do nothing."
Anna looked at her daughter with a hint of helplessness. She reached out and gently stroked the hair on her back.
Although this girl's strength is gradually increasing, she is still mentally a young girl at the moment, and tends to act impulsively and without considering the consequences.
"You should think long-term about everything, my dear daughter. What should we do after we rescue Charles? What should we do next? Your father said above that the foundation is much more powerful than we imagined."
"With just a few of us, we might be able to sneak your father out, but don't forget that the goal of these guys from the Foundation is to thoroughly cleanse the entire Dihai.
"Unless we can wipe out the Foundation in one fell swoop, we will be exposed to them the moment we rescue Charles, and will be attacked by them afterwards."
Shanshan frowned and looked at his mother, hesitating to speak, "Mom, you don't really want to-"
Anna stood up from the sofa in annoyance. "We don't have any other choice now. The opponent is much stronger than us. If we want to win, we must sacrifice humans in exchange for power. This is the only thing we can offer now."
"Besides, the enemy and the enemy are not clear now. Even if we sacrifice all the islands, it is still unknown whether we can defeat the Foundation."
As her heart moved slightly, the door next to her opened, and Leonardo, the administrative minister of Hope Island, walked in respectfully. "Master, are you looking for me?"
"Send the news that the Governor's Office is going to build a city electric rail. After a few days, take the opportunity of building the rail to start drawing the sacrificial array on Hope Island."
"Yes, my master." Leonardo bowed and slowly retreated to the door.
But just as he opened the door and was about to go out, a revolver was stretched out from outside, pressed against his forehead and pushed him back.
Holding the revolver was a bandaged hand. It was the hand of the Narwhal's first mate. Behind him stood the other crew members of the Narwhal.
"Who let you in? Don't you know this is the Governor's Palace?" Anna's expression gradually turned cold.
Bandage threw the weapon in his hand away and turned to look at her.
"We heard what you said before."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn. The relationship between the two parties was not very good to begin with, but it was only because Charles was there to keep things in balance that they were able to get along peacefully.
But he is not here now, and Anna's new plan was discovered, so Anna and Charles' old subordinates have completely broken off relations.
"You are monitoring me? Just you?" Anna's slender and sexy body began to collapse, and black tentacles emerged from it and twisted wildly.
As the yellow cross-shaped pupils suddenly widened, the bracelets on their right hands were instantly activated, emitting dazzling fluorescence.
The bracelet blocked Anna's mental control. In order to prevent themselves from being controlled, they seemed to be well prepared this time.
"We didn't want to do that, but who told you to hide everything from us? Don't forget, we also have a share of this island, and we won't let others sacrifice our home!" Dipper said as the black thorn in his hand flew up and down.
Watching his companions confronting Anna, James in the crowd showed a relieved smile on his face. Compared to hiding the hidden danger all the time, it is undoubtedly best to expose it directly.
From the moment Anna arrived on the island, he had been silently waiting for this day. This day finally came. He hoped that the hidden dangers on the island would finally be eliminated.
"What qualifications do you have to stop me? I can kill you anytime, anywhere if I want to."
Anna's body suddenly expanded, and her swollen and twisted deformed body instantly filled the spacious hall.
When the giant eye sewn on Anna's body showed a slight line, everyone present immediately showed pain on their faces. Anna sent out the auditory hallucinations in her ears and shared them with others.
"If they can't do it, then can I?" With a low voice, Julio walked out from behind the tall James.
Following behind him was a blond boy, the Pope, holding the depressed Lily carefully in his hands.
"I shouldn't have interfered with your previous affairs, but I was entrusted by someone, so I'll be involved in this matter."
