The night became more and more solemn.
The cold sea breeze brought a cloud and mist, which cast a light veil on the blood moon in the sky.
The gradually dimming light seemed to indicate something, and an atmosphere of imminent rain had quietly enveloped the fragmented Jumo Island.
At this moment, the "North Island", the southern border.
"It's already here, why do you need to hide?" Black Beard stood on a smooth rock, facing the water, and said without looking back.
His voice was not very loud, but it was enough for Honghu to hear.
A few seconds later, Honghu walked out of the woods behind them unhurriedly, adjusted his glasses, and said calmly: "It seems... I have to thank you."
"Why?" Blackbeard asked himself and answered, "Because I didn't want to deal with the trash fish of the Phantom Demon Church, just 'drag' you out of the woods and crush you to death?"
"Yes." Honghu shrugged and replied, "That's why."
"Don't get me wrong." Blackbeard continued, "It's not that I don't want to do that, but I can't do that."
"That is to say..." Honghu was keenly aware of the information hidden in the other party's words, "...that trick will not work for everyone."
"Isn't this obvious?" Blackbeard said again, "If I could use it on whomever I wanted, then in the naval battle during the day, I would have 'dragged' Mad Eye over and quickly ended the battle gone."
"Hmm..." Honghu thought for a second, "The conditions for activation are related to the individual strength of the 'target', right?"
"That's right." Blackbeard said, he raised his hand, and "sucked" a stone on the ground into his hand, "As long as this kind of lifeless 'dead thing' is not too big, I can Feel free to use your mind to control it; as for living things...it depends on the strength of the energy it contains."
"Heh..." Honghu let out a rather subtle laugh when he heard this.
"What are you laughing at?" Blackbeard asked.
"It just occurred to me..." Honghu replied with a smile, "When I was on the Queen's Revenge, I vaguely heard the conversations of several sailors, and one of them once said... 'This ship is alive and will obey the captain's orders. I've personally seen the ropes on a boat move by itself and hang and strangle a fellow who was about to attack the captain'."
"Oh... that thing." Blackbeard said, "Indeed, I deliberately caused some 'misunderstanding' among some sailors with lower combat power, which will help them maintain awe of me."
"So... what about the members with higher combat power?" Honghu said here, and glanced at the cadres around Blackbeard, "They should be able to see that 'things on the ship can move by themselves' is all due to your ability …and how do you keep them in awe?"
"It's very simple." Blackbeard said as he turned around and looked at Honghu, "My cadres... naturally know how strong I am than those low-strength crew members. And the more clearly they realize The more powerful I am, the more impossible it is to raise the courage to resist me."
"I see." Honghu nodded, and adjusted his glasses again.
On the surface, Honghu is still able to deal with it freely and calmly, but he is actually quite nervous in his heart, and he is ready to face a sudden attack at any time.
"Okay, let's stop here for the chat." Two seconds later, Honghu continued, "Since you found me, Captain, and called me out clearly, it should show that... there is still room for negotiation between us, right? "
Although the contact time is not long, Honghu has already determined that Blackbeard is a scheming old fox, so there is no need to beat around the bush with him.
If you think about it a little bit, you can understand... If Blackbeard wants to get rid of the "stalker" Honghu, there is no need to talk to him at all, just kill him back to the carbine and catch him by surprise, that has the highest success rate.
But right now, Blackbeard took the initiative to negotiate with Honghu, which naturally shows that there is still room for reversal in this matter.
"Oh... I remember, your name is 'Honghu'?" Blackbeard asked with a sneer.
"Exactly." Honghu replied neither humble nor overbearing.
"Okay, Brother Honghu..." Blackbeard suddenly changed his name to Honghu, in the latter's view, this is by no means a good thing, "I'll just open up and tell you...you, and that little 'Snow' I still believe my brother’s words, but Feng Bujue... I can’t believe it.” He paused, stretched out his hand, and made an inviting gesture, “As long as you tell me your 'real mission', and promise to seal it with me." Don't feel like drawing a clear line...we can still cooperate."
Hearing this, Honghu's expression changed slightly, and he thought in his heart: "The terrible guy... Compared with the unfathomable force, the overlord of the Chaos Sea's attainments in strategy and city government are the real difficulties. what… "
"Why?" Within a few seconds, Blackbeard asked, "Is this still something to consider?"
He is indeed a terrible man. He knows that at this time, he needs to continue to exert pressure, so that the other party does not have enough time and leeway to think.
"Ha! Hahahaha..." Fortunately, the person standing here is Honghu, "Okay, it's just what I want."
The title of wise general is definitely not in vain. These few seconds are enough for him to settle his accounts.
"Oh?" Blackbeard was indeed a little surprised when he saw Honghu's reaction.
"Captain, to tell you the truth..." Honghu put on a sinister face, "I never regarded Feng Bujue as a companion from the beginning." He looked around, "There are no outsiders here... I will follow you Come on, I haven't wanted to kill him for a day or two."
"Really..." Blackbeard is not stupid, just these few words and some acting skills are far from enough to convince him.
"Of course it is." Honghu said, "Look, if I appear here, doesn't that mean that Snow and I are still alone in that open space for the rest of our lives?"
"Didn't you agree to split up?" Blackbeard's reaction was strange, and he immediately thought of another possibility alertly, and asked.
But Honghu is also very powerful. After being seen through and told the truth, he still tried his best to control his expression... without changing his face, he answered smoothly: "Huh... in that situation? Don't be joking, Captain." He shook his head and said, "If it were you, would you agree to let the only two helpers around you go when you face three powerful enemies, and two of them are at the level of the Nine Gods?"
"Hmm..." Blackbeard pondered, "Indeed, relatively speaking, it is most reasonable for you and Snow to take advantage of the fact that 'the enemy's target is only Feng Bujue' and take the opportunity to 'drop Feng Bujue and escape'. "
"Isn't it?" Honghu secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this sentence, and quickly responded.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Blackbeard changed the subject again.
"It's a pity... I still don't believe you!" After speaking, Blackbeard suddenly swung his arm and threw the stone that was "sucked" into his hand at Honghu. (.)
