Feeling the breathing of the so-called Admiral of Hope Island in the darkness, the bald man pretending to be a skeleton trembled a little, "My child, go back, don't think about revenge for me, I am satisfied to see that you are all living well. I won't say more, the time is up, I want to go back."
As soon as the words were spoken, the two people in the darkness immediately raised a black cloth to cover their bald heads covered with luminous material, and the tent fell into a dark environment.
Everyone in the tent held their breath, hoping that the other party would leave quickly. After defrauding a big shot who they could not afford to offend, they no longer wanted to make money and just wanted to escape by boat.
After a moment of silence in the dark, Bandage took out a stack of banknotes and placed them on the ground beside him, then prepared to turn around and leave.
Just as the tent was opened and the light outside illuminated half of his handsome face, the bandage suddenly stopped.
"Excuse me. How do you communicate with the dead?"
"According to a friend of mine, the souls of people who died at sea all returned to Futan, and it is very difficult to retrieve their souls from there."
The man with a mustache swallowed hard. How would they know the answer to this question? They were just a bunch of liars.
Seeing that the other person was standing there neither walking nor leaving, the man with a moustache made up his mind, walked behind the bald man, and started gesturing on his back with his hands.
After receiving the tip from his leader, the bald man wearing the luminous pearl powder came out from behind the black cloth, shaking his limbs and saying, "I am the chosen one of the great shining god~! In this endless sea, only she can take back the souls of the dead from the god Naftan~Mortal! This is not something you should understand!"
After hearing this, the others immediately felt relieved. The boss is indeed the boss. He can come up with such a solution.
But before they could be happy for a few seconds, the entire ground began to shake, and a huge green tree trunk rose from the ground. The constantly twisting branches propped up the entire tent in mid-air.
Amid the cries and wails of the scammers, "Swish~" the entire tent was torn apart by the branches in an instant, exposing everything in the darkness to the sunlight.
How could the few people, including the one with a moustache, dare to continue lying? They poured out all their secrets to the bandage standing on a tree root, just like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
"Sir, we have only been on Hope Island for a week. The money is in the yellow box next to it. Please let us go. We will never dare to do it again."
Seeing that the bandage did not express any meaning, the bald man hugged a tree trunk and wiped off the luminous pearl powder on his face, and defended himself excitedly. "This bad idea was all from Johnson, and it has nothing to do with me! Sir, if you want to cause trouble, go to him! ”
After hearing what the bald man said, the others quickly followed suit and put all the blame on the man with the mustache.
As Johnson trembled with rage and glared at them with murderous eyes, the tree trunks beneath them gradually began to wither.
The dry and blackened tree trunk gradually bent, placing everyone on the ground. Bandage looked at them with a complicated expression, "It would be great if you guys really could do it. Now I understand the captain a little bit."
After saying that, Bandage turned around and left without looking back, leaving the four people standing there with stunned faces.
After more than a minute, the bald man raised his right hand and slapped himself in the face. After feeling the pain, he said to Johnson beside him in surprise: "Boss, that's great! He didn't cause us any trouble!"
Before he could be happy for too long, the man with the mustache punched him hard in the right eye socket with his angry fist. "Fuck you! How dare you, a traitor, sell me out! I'm going to kill you!!"
————————
At this time, on the island of the rope man, Charles stood in a colorful forest, looking at the buildings in the distance with some nervousness.
Having said that, Charles still felt unsure until he saw him come out.
"Dad, have you thought about what wish you want?" Shanshan, who was sitting on a colorful stone next to them, asked while leisurely swinging her white little feet.
Charles paused for a long time, then said with some uncertainty in his voice: "I think so."
"Oh? Can you tell me first?" Shanshan asked curiously.
"No, but you can make a guess, just in case you guess it right."
"Hmm." Shanshan frowned slightly, as if considering what wish his father would make.
"How about turning mom and you into gods? Human lifespan is very short. If you and mom both become gods, then we can be like a real family."
"God." Charles sighed slightly, "Daughter, it's not difficult to wish to become a god, but if your mother's personality is taken into consideration, what will she do next after becoming a god?"
Shining blurted out without thinking, "Of course she will continue to improve and become the most powerful among the gods. She has a very strong personality."
"Yeah, if she really becomes the strongest god, she will eventually have to fight those things. If it really comes to that, how much better of a chance does Anna have of winning than the Foundation did before?"
"I'm not afraid of those gods. I'm just stating the facts. Isn't the God of Light strong enough? But according to the Foundation's description, this artificial god is only a few thousandth of the strength of the God of Futan. Anna's chance of winning is too low. She is likely to die."
Recalling the trembling feeling her body had when approaching the surface, the expression on Shanshan's face seemed a little unwilling, but she did not refute Charles. Her father was right.
"Then let's go to the surface? Don't we have three wishes? We can leave Earthsea at the same time."
Charles shook his head. "It's not that simple. 005 said that you can't choose the same three wishes. And if Anna really goes to the surface, the surface will be doomed."
This is not a random guess. Anna has the ability to modify her memory at will. If she reaches the surface, then with her personality, she will definitely turn the surface upside down.
Although I don't want to admit it, Anna is just a man-eating monster after all.
Charles doesn't want his family and seven billion people living on the surface. He wants to reduce the impact of the Earth Sea on the surface as much as possible.
With the continuous development of science and technology, the human beings in Earthsea will eventually face extinction.
If the humans on the surface really knew everything about Earthsea, then their fate would be tied to the humans on Earthsea, which is something Charles doesn't want to see.
