It was a hand with webbed feet, sharp nails, and green scales.
When Maya saw the identity of the visitor, she stood up instantly and said to him nervously, "Director Dipp, good afternoon!"
As a crew member who had followed the Governor of Hope Island through life and death, Dipper's identity was transcendent.
Maya knew that the man in front of her could control her destiny with just one word. He was a big shot.
"Dipper, what's up?" Lily put down her fork and smiled sweetly at the fishman in front of her.
Although the person in front of her was not someone she knew, Lily always felt very close when looking at that familiar fish face.
"Ahem, the first mate is looking for you." Dipper replied stiffly, turned around and left.
"Looking for me? What's going on? Hey! Dipper, don't leave!"
In the Governor's Mansion, Bandage sat behind his desk and handled all matters on the island.
To be honest, this is not an easy thing to do. As time goes by, troubles keep popping up, as if there is no end.
Moreover, the construction of the rock train, which was supposed to expand across the entire Earth Sea, was thwarted.
As we move away from Hope Island, the built tracks will be constantly destroyed by something.
Based on the intelligence we've gathered, this is very much a planned sabotage. Something hates the rock train.
The three places have already sent people to deal with it, but we still have to wait and see what the specific situation is.
Looking at the statements in the document, Bandage recalled the upside-down mantises that the captain had encountered, living on the top of the rock formations.
If they are really them, it would probably cost a huge price to lay the rock tracks to other islands.
"The other Mr. Bandage~! Can I come in?" Lily asked playfully, poking her head out from behind the door frame.
"Sit..." Bandage pointed to the wooden chair opposite the table.
Lily sat on it with her legs together, and looked curiously at the Governor's Mansion in another dimension. After comparing them, she found that there was basically no difference.
"I know... you. You... are the... white mouse... After you came back... the captain... specifically asked... us to look after your... parents..."
"Yeah... Thank you! I know you guys are good people no matter which world you are from!"
But just as Lily finished her words, seven or eight black thorn vines quickly grew out of the wooden chair she was sitting on, and they coiled towards her like a python.
As a white light flashed on Lily's body, the vines broke into pieces.
The next second, the floor and the large wooden desk bulged up, and various aggressive plants grew out of them and rushed towards Lily.
"Mr. First Mate! What are you doing?" Lily looked at the bandage in front of him in panic. Only he could have the ability to control plants.
But before Lily could finish her words, a cloud of blue mist surged out from behind her, covering her entire head and blocking her breathing.
Then a huge hand broke out from the ground below and grabbed Lily's heart.
It wasn't just Dipper who attacked Lily, all the top fighters on the island came.
In this violent attack, Lily finally couldn't hold it anymore. With her scream, everyone was forced back instantly.
"What on earth are you doing! I didn't do anything!!"
Tears welled up in Lily's eyes. Compared to being attacked suddenly, she was more sad that her former friends attacked her, even if they were not from another dimension.
Seeing those people being shaken away, Bandage, who was observing from a distance, nodded silently.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the people who appeared quickly left.
"I... guessed... correctly... you do... have... problems."
"Mr. Bandage! I'm not an enemy! I'm a good person! Why are you doing this to me?"
Bandage shook his head slightly, and then said: "The captain's... previous... policy is to hope that... people... with special... abilities... on the island... will be... evaluated... and then registered..."
"I know, so you want me to register, right? I'm willing to register!" Lily stood up immediately when she spoke excitedly.
"...No... that method... for ordinary... explorers... won't work on you."
"Your strength... is far beyond... what I can accept... As... the acting governor... I ask you to leave."
"What? You want to chase me away? Why? I'm really a good person!"
After a long investigation, he certainly knew the personality of the girl who was transformed from a mouse.
But as a qualified decision maker, Bandage must remain absolutely rational.
This girl who came back from another dimension was so powerful that she could easily flatten the entire Hope Island if she wanted to.
Such an extremely dangerous person must be eliminated. Since the captain has handed the island over to me, I must ensure the absolute safety of Hope Island.
"But this is my home, why can't I live here?" Lily retorted unwillingly with her mouth pursed.
"You... can look at... the root of your purchase contract... that the land of Hope Island... only has... the right to use..."
That day, Lily spent a very long time in the Governor's Mansion, but Bandage was completely indifferent to Lily's pitiful pleas.
He even threatened in a tough manner, saying that you should not expect to threaten Hope Island with your strength, because your backers are more powerful than you.
At this moment, Lily finally understood that no matter how similar they looked, they were not her companions after all. She was just a stranger to them. The people who had gone through life and death with her were on the other side.
When the sunshade on the roof of Hope Island was covered, Lily didn't know how she would get home.
Seeing their distraught daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver were terrified and asked what happened.
Oliver was relieved when he heard Lily telling him everything while hugging the pillow. He thought his child was being bullied.
"It's okay. If you don't let us live here, then we can go to another island. Don't worry, Dad is rich now. He can buy a house anywhere." Oliver comforted.
"Then where are we going?" Lily asked in a crying voice.
Oliver searched for a long time with the map of Earth and Sea, then looked up at his daughter and said, "Shall we go home? Back to our coral islands?"
"Really? Dad, am I causing trouble for you?"
Oliver gently touched Lily's head and said, "It doesn't matter where you are as long as you can live happily."
If they were told to move away, they had to move away immediately. Just five days later, Lily and her family, along with all their belongings, were sent on a passenger ship.
When the family, who had been drifting on the sea for a long time, happily set foot on this island made of coral rocks, they were found to be received by the Governor of the Coral Island in person.
"I'm sorry, dear, but you're not welcome on this island either."
Nico said lightly while sitting in the arms of two handsome guys.
