Seeing that the last person was dead, Joey, who was originally struggling, suddenly turned cold, and the four-legged beast tentacles that bound him exploded.
That force continued unabated, blasting the entire four-legged beast into pieces.
Joey turned around, rushed back behind the door, closed the door, and looked at the squirming puddle of goo playfully.
"That's mine, those powers are all mine, Joey, I'm going to eat you and take back what belongs to me."
The pool of black liquid looked like a big spider lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up and fell to the ceiling.
Before he could pounce down, while he was still in the air, it exploded into a ball of blood mist and turned into nothingness with a shrill and unwilling sound.
"Why would you... do this?"
"It's very simple. You are not the only one who is getting stronger. If you weren't afraid of being exposed, do you think you could hide until now?"
Watching the room slowly dissipate, Joey felt mixed emotions for a moment.
There used to be a group of occult enthusiasts here, but now, they are all dead, including himself, that Joey Creevey.
It can be regarded as a complete farewell to the past.
When this space was about to disappear completely, Joey's spirit body faded, and the four-legged beasts that rushed over fell into the air and could only roar in place.
At this time, Joey's spirit body returned to the Round Table Hall. He did not return to reality immediately. Some things had to be sorted out first.
These things will be needed when facing Annie's group after going out.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Joey opened his eyes in the cabin in the real world.
There were some rustling noises in his ears, and he knew that everyone was awake.
Because of the red spider silk, 9 people were forcibly bound together.
Unless one of them dies completely, the other eight people will be subject to certain restrictions.
This also forces you not to abandon your companions in dangerous situations.
Don't look at the 9 people fighting each other in the dreamland. That's because everyone knows that you can't really die inside. If you put it outside, you don't know how much you would cherish your life.
Five minutes later, nine people were sitting in the restaurant, everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere was deathly silent.
Finally, Joey coughed lightly and broke the silence:
"Well, let me confess first. I have been to that place before, but I forgot. I am here to apologize to everyone."
Joey's straightforwardness gave Chris no reason to stir up trouble.
As for Anderson, he said awkwardly that after the lights went out, he knew nothing.
Among them, the most unjust one was Margaret Little, who was deceived by Ruger Giles.
In her narration, she was trapped in that space, with limited places to get out, and then she was successfully bewitched.
When she said this, she kept her head down the whole time, not daring to look at anyone present.
Olivia asked doubtfully: "You have no doubt at all?"
"I didn't completely believe him either." Margaret lowered her head and said timidly: "I thought it would be safer to stay in the same room with you."
Can you blame her for being selfish? This point is untenable. Anyone else would give priority to protecting their own safety.
Before tonight, the nine of us were strangers, how deep of friendship could we expect.
As an organizer, Anne's sense of self-confidence brought by her privileged family gave her the aura of a superior person.
This night's experience was a wake-up call for everyone. She thought about it and said:
"I don't want this kind of thing to happen again, and don't think that you won't really die in the dreamland. Feel yourselves. Do you feel that your body is very weak? This is a symptom of excessive consumption of the spirit body. If the spirit body If you die completely, people in the real world will die too.”
Joey's brown eyes turned, a little surprised that Annie still knew this, and he felt in a daze that there was an extra layer of mystery on Annie.
"There won't be a next time, I've remembered everything now" Joey responded sincerely.
"It's best this way," Anne said coldly.
As the first person to be pulled out of the door and died, Gul Friedman still has an aggrieved expression on his face and said in a sullen voice: "Annie, don't hide it from everyone now. Tell me, this ship The boat is ready to go there”
After saying this, everyone's expressions became very subtle.
Joey squinted his eyes, looking very interested.
Well done, Gul. He silently gave the other party a thumbs up.
In fact, he wanted to ask about this matter from the moment he boarded the ship. However, due to his status, he couldn't do anything different from ordinary people.
Annie looked around with amber eyes, and said three words in a cold voice: "Ghost Island".
The 'Ghost Island' is a legend on the Black Sea. It is said that this island will appear on the Black Sea every once in a while. If you happen to land on it and come out alive, you will gain a lot of wealth.
It once attracted a large number of adventurers to explore the sea, hoping to get rich overnight.
"Is the Ghost Island related to the curse of Dreamland? And even if it is related, how can we find the legendary things?" Remo Lewis is a professor after all, and he knows more about this kind of documents.
I feel that Anne's words are not feasible and very difficult to implement. It cannot be accomplished overnight. So many adventurers have failed and gained nothing.
A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Annie's mouth:
"Who told you that Ghost Island is just a legend?"
A ray of golden light flashed in her eyes, and the expression on her face revealed an air of undisguised arrogance:
"My name is Anne Bullock, Bullock of Phelan"
Faerûn is the capital of the Kingdom of Rasvegard, and its prosperity is no less than that of the technological city of Isamotte Principality, Islamton.
It's not that the people present had never thought that Anne was a big deal, they just didn't expect it to be so big.
If the surname Bullock were in other places, it could only be said to be very common, but with the prefix of "Faerun", it would be different.
Las Vegas is an island country, consisting of thousands of islands, and its proximity to the sea determines its development direction.
Lasvegard's navy is the strongest in the Northern Continent and the two strongest countries in the Northern Continent.
Lasvegard and Isamotte, one has the strongest army and the other has the strongest navy, and their dominance in the Northern Continent is unshakable.
The Bullock family is one of the few families that owns warships.
Chris opened his mouth wide. As a sailboat mechanic, his biggest dream is to see a warship.
But Liya is just a remote small port, only some cargo ships will dock, and larger ships will not appear here.
It is not difficult for people who are struggling with food and clothing to leave the island of Lia, but the money required to go to a bustling metropolis is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Coupled with the prevalence of piracy, many people have never been to the open sea in their entire lives.
At this time, he looked at Anne with admiration.
His eyes were bright and his expression was full of energy. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind to follow in the footsteps of this great man.
"No wonder" Olivia thought of the figure who spent a lot of money at the auction, and said with a bitter smile: "I never thought that one day, I would be able to stay on a ship with a big shot like you."
"Boss, can you let me visit your fleet? I heard that all the chefs on warships are extraordinary. Is it true?"
Chris is still in the planning stage, but the cook Jami Henriquez has already put it into practice, calling him boss directly, his chubby face shaking with his flattering smile.
"Yeah!" Annie nodded. She didn't hate Jami Henriquez's straightforward character.
Chris quickly added at this time: "I want to see it too."
"Have you forgotten that we are at sea?" Margaret Little reminded her kindly. Her background was very ordinary. She was a doctor on duty at a hospital in Port Lia. She had no contact with people like Anne.
Not to mention her, if it weren't for the curse of the dreamland, the fates of these nine people would not have intersected if nothing unexpected happened.
Joey was not in a hurry to speak. What Annie said was irrelevant to him. What he cared about was what Annie was going to say next.
"Is your family background related to Ghost Island?" Joey asked.
"Oh~" Annie nodded slightly, stood up, and walked to a window.
Pointing to the white fish belly rising in the east, he said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Block was once a great thief on the Black Sea. The first pot of gold was obtained from there."
Following where her finger pointed, where the sun was rising, a huge island appeared like a mirage.
"Ghost Island?"
"real or fake?"
"No, it really happened?"
"Everyone is getting rich!"
. . .
Creevey's eyes dimmed and he opened his mouth. He hesitated for a long time before whispering: "Ms. Anne, what you said...are...really?"
Bullock's Ninth Fleet has always been Chris's favorite fleet. This is also the first heavily armed navy to cross the Black River.
On the sea, even the emperor of the sea would have to avoid its edge when encountering this fleet.
They are the embodiment of official justice, and now, Anne told him that the predecessor of such a family turned out to be a big thief.
He felt like his faith was shattered.
Judging from the expressions on the faces of the people present, it seems that only Chris, an old boatman in the traditional sense, cares about this.
Take Gur Friedman, for example. He spent the first half of his life wandering at sea and worked as a helmsman for decades.
He didn't seem surprised to hear that the Bullocks were once great thieves.
He gently patted Chris on the shoulder and comforted him: "Actually, many big thieves have hidden identities. Their superficial identities don't mean anything."
"That is the most powerful fleet in the empire" Chris shouted hysterically: "How can they be pirates? How can they be pirates?"
Annie turned her head and stared at Chris for a moment: "In your eyes, pirates represent evil, and the navy represents justice?"
Joey couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing: "I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it back, I just thought you were quite naive."
