During the day and night of waiting, Luo Binhan repeatedly recalled his experiences after leaving his hometown. From his first meeting with Yalayliga until the last time he was sent to deal with the list, when he filtered through all the details, the only conclusion he came to was that he didn't know Yalayliga at all.
Apart from her undetermined name, Luo Binhan even knew little about her race. Where is her hometown? Does she have any other kin? Since her race has such weird characteristics, what will the society of the Evangelical race be like?
The more Luo Binhan thought about it, the more his scalp became numb. The image of Yaleriga continued to expand in his heart, turning into a monster more terrifying than the giant underground insect. He didn't know her purpose, but he was certain that she was by no means innocent in this series of events.
Joel Farman was very dissatisfied with his speculation, claiming that no one could be blamed for this matter, because it was Popa's wish to find Wanbozi. In order to achieve this goal, she will not refuse any help, let alone make false assumptions about an information provider.
Luo Binhan doesn't think he is too divergent. He considered himself to have one advantage over Joel Farman, that is, he had seen how Yaleriga brutally harvested people's hearts. She is so ruthless that she could fill a planet with broken hearts.
He decided that he had to get to the bottom of this matter.
This thought lasted throughout the day. In the anxious waiting, even those eyeball grasses lost their sense of intimidation. As soon as the sun set in the west, Joel Farman immediately drove the aircraft towards the lake.
The eye grass grew out of control for nearly twenty-four hours, and the occupied area had already exceeded the bottom of the rift valley. They are not affected by the height difference and can easily penetrate into the forest outside the valley and hide under the shade of trees and shrubs. No matter how far the aircraft flew, Luo Binhan could always find a few eyes looking upward hidden in the shadows on the ground. This situation made him suspect that the entire continent had been occupied by this kind of eye grass.
"What on earth is this thing?" He couldn't help but ask, "Does the bug have so many eyes to begin with, or does it suddenly want to open its eyes to see the world?"
Wan Bozi shook his head and said, "That's not right. You see, they are dark green in color, and they can come out from deep underground. Their toughness is really extraordinary. I guess it was the insect that robbed me of my gold-devouring armor. To be imitated."
Luo Binhan couldn't help but sigh: "This thing looks very bright, can it be used to make wine?"
Wan Bozi frowned and looked at him, as if he suddenly doubted his origin. But she didn't ask anything, only said: "This insect has two extremely dangerous abilities. One is to imitate all things and adapt to its endowments; the other is to pass on its spiritual thoughts and communicate with them thousands of miles away. It has not hatched yet, and the latter ability is It’s not finished yet, but if we let it enter the land of fairy spirits, I’m afraid all the heavens and all the realms will be the same.”
"Then we're damn dead?" Luo Binhan said, but actually he didn't feel too worried. His only designated mastermind was still a woman with horns and a tail.
They had already rushed to the lakeside during their hurried conversation, and the sight they saw was extremely bad. The shore of the lake is completely covered with eyeball grass, which looks at the visitors in the sunset. Not only do they occupy the lake shore, there are even some dark green lotus leaves floating on the water near the shore.
When the spacecraft arrived directly above the lake, the round lotus leaves swelled. Small slits opened in the leaves, revealing dead white eyes.
Luo Binhan really didn't expect this. He had never seen Cordyceps growing in the water, so he could only exchange friendly glances with them.
"Shall we go down now?" he asked.
Joel Farman, who was behind the wheel, was also hesitant. The shadow of the setting sun falls in the center of the lake, and the water is still as smooth as a mirror. The water is so clear that you can see it at a glance, and there is no foreign matter at the bottom. This opportunity to escape is once in a lifetime.
Eyeball lotus leaves floated and began to gather towards the center of the lake.
Now they had no choice but to sprint towards their escape. When the water surface was close at hand, the water lily closest to them was still more than ten meters away.
The water surface rippled, and the hollow formed by the sunset also trembled.
There was still nothing visible under the water, but the lake waves surged up unusually, like a hand gently surrounding the aircraft. The water splashed into the air and solidified the moment Luo Binhan looked at them, turning into small and transparent gelatinous eyeballs.
He suddenly realized that the danger came from the water itself - was it still water? Or some kind of transparent creature hiding in the water?
The soft waves enveloped them layer by layer like a cocoon. A force of unknown origin pulled on the outer shell of the aircraft, trying to drag it towards the lake shore. The aircraft swayed left and right under the ferocious force, almost tipping over.
Joel Fineman managed to maintain control amid the chaos. She raised her hand and pressed a pink button on the top that Luo Binhan had never noticed. Music immediately sounded in the aircraft.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey-"
It was not Joel Fineman's beloved "If You Hold the Stars in Your Arms," but a simpler and more lively melody. The tender and lovely children's voices sang in it, resounding throughout the lake.
The water cocoon suddenly stagnated. It lost its ferocious look and fell softly back into the lake. The water surface ripples constantly, like a drunkard trying to struggle again, but unable to escape from the embrace of the land.
The aircraft began to disintegrate and reorganize, and various components were changing like a kaleidoscope, making Luo Binhan dizzy. The outer hatch deformed and melted, and the top part, which was originally transparent like glass, dropped to the sides and turned into white plastic material. Within a few seconds, Luo Binhan found himself sitting on an open-top swan cruise ship.
Pink dazzling lights were hung on the front neck of the swan boat, and children's songs were still playing.
It brushed aside the clear waves gracefully and plunged into the pale hole. Until the swan boat slowly fell from the sky back to the top of the mountain, Luo Binhan was still sitting in his original position, listening to the babbling children's songs.
"What the hell is this?" he asked Joel Fineman in a trance.
Joel Fineman shrugged: "I don't know."
"Then how do you know to press this button?"
"I tried it once before," Joel Fineman said. "The colors were so bright that you wanted to click and look."
Luo Binhan couldn't help but feel a sense of terror. He thought that this was just a pink unknown button, and if a red, cool and shiny nuclear bomb activation button was placed in front of Joel Farman, this person would probably clap his hands downwards without hesitation.
"...Are you really not afraid that it is a self-destruct button?"
"There are instructions next to it," Joel Farman replied. She pointed at the pink button that had transformed to her side, and then Luo Binhan discovered that there was a metal nameplate under the button, with several lines of small characters written in the Alliance's common language engraved on it:
Operation instructions for the second form of the Type 03 Yuan-type sub-cabin aircraft:
Direction control: steering wheel direction keys
Spirit field lifting: white diamond key
Storage bin: black square key
First form security transformation: pink round key
Cancel security protection: long press the pink round key

After Luo Binhan finished reading these lines, he quietly raised his head and looked at the phantom ribbon in the sky. Joel Fineman pressed and held the pink round key with his hand, and the children's song echoing on the lake came to an abrupt end.
She was about to speak, but Luo Binhan calmly raised his hand to stop her.
"I don't want to know anything right now," he said firmly.
They pressed the pink circle button again, and the swan boat turned into an aircraft, carrying them back to the savage village. Luo Binhan jumped out of the aircraft with peace of mind and managed to find his first officer in just ten minutes.
"I have discovered the truth," he announced solemnly, "the real murderer is..."
"It's me," Yaleriga said, then continued sharpening her horns with a small file.
Luo Binhan asked angrily: "Why do you have to do such a thing! Will you die if you don't answer me?"
Yaleriga glanced at him lazily, then put down the file and stood up from the grass. She wagged her tail and looked down at Luo Binhan condescendingly.
Luo Binhan immediately prepared to apologize to the boat, and then heard Yaleriga ask: "How do you save a person who was cursed by a witch?"
"What the hell?"
"The first step is to make the curse happen," Yaleriga said.
"ha?"
Yaleriga patted his head and turned him towards the field.
"Darkness must come as planned," she said. "If you want to know why, you have to find the answer yourself."
