"Mr. Charles..." Lily raised her head aggrievedly and looked at the captain in front of her, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
She finally became a real human being. This was what she had dreamed of for so many years. She should be happy, but the current situation made her feel very uneasy.
Smiling Charles helped Lily up from the ground and gently stroked her fluffy head with his hand.
"Lily, you were always worried that your parents in another dimension would dislike you. Now that you have turned back into a human, you can go back."
"You and your rat have helped me a lot over the years. To be honest, at your age, it is too difficult for you to go on an adventure at sea with me. I could have let you get off the ship, but I didn't. I owe you this."
"Fortunately, you have achieved your purpose of boarding the ship, and I can repay my debt to you. I have prepared the ship for you to go home, and you can board it at any time."
Lily blinked slightly, then suddenly opened her arms and threw herself into Charles's arms, her soft voice tinged with tears. "Mr. Charles, I won't go back! I'll go wherever you go!"
As soon as Lily finished speaking, Anna next to her showed a sarcastic expression on her face. "What a waste! Don't you know the value of a wish? Is this mouse worth it?"
Charles did not look back at her. Instead, he continued to comfort Lily for a few words, then gently pushed her away from his arms. "Lily, be obedient, go back to your world and live the life you once desired. This is the captain's order."
After saying this, Charles reached out and grabbed the second wishing ball.
When his steel prosthetic limb touched the sphere, everyone present looked over. Everyone's heart was in suspense. They were all wondering what wish Charles would make.
Charles took a deep breath and spoke slowly. "I want to return to the surface of the earth with a normal human body, back to my old world." The white ball turned red with a touch.
As soon as Charles said this, everyone's pupils shrank instantly. He actually made such a wish.
The door next to him was pushed open, and the bandage rushed in. He looked at the captain who was in a life-and-death situation with a very complicated expression.
His guess was confirmed. The other party was really leaving. If he returned to the surface, they would never see each other again.
Bandage wanted to say something but couldn't. Finally, he said with difficulty, "Congratulations... Go home..."
Compared to the reaction of the bandage, Anna's reaction was undoubtedly much greater. Her barely maintained body instantly cracked due to the emotional fluctuations. The terrifying tentacle monster, more than ten meters tall, shook its tentacles violently and was about to swing towards Charles.
Shanshan, who had been watching silently at the side, instantly revealed his true form and stopped his mother.
"You coward!! You actually want to abandon everything and return to the surface! I am nothing to you! Does that mean Shan Shan is nothing to you too?" Anna's voice was filled with extreme murderous intent! !
Charles seemed not to have heard this. He reached out and grabbed the last white ball and held it in front of Anna. "Time is running out. Tell me your wish."
Anna stared at Charles, blood vessels popping out of her yellow eyes. "My wish, my wish is to become a real god!! Charles! You just wait!!"
As soon as Anna finished speaking, the ball in Charles' hand turned red.
Gao Zhiming reached into his left pocket and took out a red box. He lowered his head and put the red ball in his hand into the box and threw it towards Anna.
Seven or eight tentacles covered with mucus quickly surged up and wrapped around the box in front of Anna.
She quickly opened the box, revealing a glowing red ball and a black diamond ring the size of a quail egg.
"You scumbag, other people give women diamond rings as gifts, but you give this thing, do you understand the sense of ceremony?"
"Okay, I'll remember that. I'll send it off when everything is done."
"Tsk, with your memory, I think you should just forget it. You might forget it the next day."
Gao Zhiming, who was standing next to him, looked at the red ball in his hand that was becoming brighter and brighter. He took a step forward, and his forced calm expression began to gradually collapse.
Gao Zhiming gritted his teeth and looked at the tentacle monster in front of him with strong reluctance in his eyes. His voice was trembling. "Anna, goodbye."
The next second, the light inside the red ball illuminated the entire room.
————————
At night, a police car was patrolling slowly on the streets of Nanjing. Two uniformed policemen in the car were listening to music on the radio while looking at the surrounding streets.
"Zhou Tao, look at that guy." The old policeman holding the steering wheel pointed at the back of a sneaky figure wearing a tattered white vest in the distance.
"His name is Li Long. He is a habitual thief in our area. He not only steals things, but also cheats people to make money. He has been in prison several times but still has not changed his bad habits. You have just been assigned to the station, so get to know him first. If anything happens in the future, remember to take care of him first if he is nearby."
Zhou Tao looked at the thin figure and nodded, "Got it, Uncle Liu."
At this moment, the music on the radio was interrupted by a woman's voice, "The control console just received a call from someone, someone is drowning at the mouth of Baita River."
"Got it. I'll be there right away." Liu Jianguo quickly changed gears with his right hand and stepped on the accelerator. The police car rolled its wheels towards the destination.
"I bet it's definitely the young people who are making trouble because of love. They are so bored every day. They don't know how to appreciate how good life is now. There weren't so many things to worry about when we were young."
When they arrived at the shore, they found that it was surrounded by three layers of people, and even some cars on the side of the road stopped to look.
"Everyone, move away. Don't crowd so close together. Give the drowning person fresh air." Liu Jianguo took Zhou Tao away from the crowd.
As soon as they entered, they found a kind-hearted lady squatting there, wiping the man's head with a towel, her eyes full of pity.
Liu Jianguo felt a little relieved, thinking that since the person was awake, there shouldn't be any problem. He squatted on one knee and began to conduct routine inquiries.
"Why are you jumping into a river at such a young age? Are you feeling unwell? The ambulance will be here soon. What's your family's phone number?"
The towel fell, and Liu Jianguo was stunned when he saw the face. "What a pretty girl."
Tears slowly slid down Anna's face. She looked down at the ring box in her hand and shouted hysterically: "Gao Zhiming! You bastard!!"
