Feeling no resistance, Alice trembled as she tried to grasp Gu Xinghe's hand.
Meanwhile, Gu Xinghe in his previous life was also concentrating his mind, wanting to tell this story in his heart in a more perfect way.
At this moment, whether in the "movie" about past lives being shown or in the present reality.
This was the first time, and indeed the first time, that Alice had experienced the positive effects of Gu Xinghe's mind-reading ability.
It allows her and Gu Xinghe to share the same story and feel each other's emotions.
It concerns the fairy tale that Gu Xinghe "told" to Alice in his previous life.
This concerns the story of Alice's past life that she is now "telling" to Gu Xinghe.
At this moment, both of them understood through this more direct communication.
After the story of his past life and his encounter with Alice ended.
Gu Xinghe discovered that this "immersive movie" conducted through telepathic communication and internal thoughts was not yet over.
A scene depicting the ritual island, the original destination of the Ocean Oasis, has appeared.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe realized that Alice was now "telling" him background information about the sacrificial island.
Sacrifice Island is actually a relatively small island.
When Alice was a child, the people on the island of rites still made their living by fishing.
Meanwhile, seafood and seaweed in the ocean are also the main food sources for the island's residents.
At that time, the island of ritual had not yet developed its tourism industry as it does now.
Or perhaps they already have relatively close ties with the outside world.
At that time, the sacrificial island could still be considered a secluded island in dangerous waters.
This is where Alice grew up, although she doesn't consider it her hometown.
Compared to this place, Alice actually felt that the tranquil and more inclusive sea was perhaps her true home.
In Alice's "narration," Gu Xinghe discovered that there wasn't much about her childhood experiences.
Perhaps she felt these experiences were unimportant.
Or perhaps it was her instinct to not want Gu Xinghe to know these things and then worry about her.
Even just looking at her sensitive personality now that she's grown up, Gu Xinghe knows that Alice didn't have a good childhood.
At this point, the story takes a turn when Alice is nine years old.
That year, she suddenly discovered that she had gained the ability to read minds.
In the same year, the waters near the sacrificial island became increasingly dangerous.
Incidents of sea monsters attacking fishermen at sea are becoming increasingly frequent.
Conversely, island residents are finding it increasingly difficult to obtain food from the sea.
At this time, because of his young age, he was not yet quite proficient in controlling his sudden ability to read minds.
The islanders noticed that Alice possessed a special ability to read minds.
From this point on, Alice began to be shunned and rejected by the residents of the sacrificial island.
It is believed that the calamities of sea monster attacks and food shortages for those who went to sea were caused by Alice.
A year later, when Alice was ten years old, this famine caused by the inability to obtain food reached its "peak".
Back then, going out to sea meant being attacked by sea monsters, and it was common to not be able to catch any fish.
Due to the unique geographical location of the Devil's Sea, agriculture in ordinary areas is difficult to develop here.
But for Alice, who was ten years old at the time, she didn't feel much about the famine that year.
Aside from the sadness and longing for food that enveloped the entire island at that time.
Alice, an orphan since childhood, has often gone without a full stomach since she was a child.
Therefore, enduring hunger was not difficult for her, which is why she seemed uninterested in eating.
But at that time, when the island's inhabitants looked at each other with a dangerous and greedy gaze.
Suddenly, a savior appeared before all those suffering from extreme hunger—Murdoch.
He claimed to have received a gift from God.
When the island's residents saw what he took from his home, everyone immediately believed his story.
Because the gift Murdoch received from God was a piece of flesh that could constantly regenerate and multiply itself.
"If we have this piece of meat, we will never have to suffer from hunger again."
Like a savior who comes to the rescue of the world in times of despair and crisis.
Murdoch stood on the high platform with his arms outstretched, looking down at the crowd below who were gazing up at him with fervor.
...
"We'll never have to suffer from hunger again if we can eat that piece of meat."
On another deserted island, Fionn watched the "spectacle" unfold before him with fervor.
When Vivian and Fionn both smelled the exceptionally delicious aroma of meat wafting through the air.
The two of them walked towards this place involuntarily, even uncontrollably.
Then, the two of them saw the spectacular sight in the pit beneath their feet.
Calling it a pit is not entirely accurate.
While Vivian and Fionn were desperately fleeing from the island's "indigenous savages."
Vivian vaguely noticed the peculiar terrain of this desolate island—
