Chapter 36

The two were talking in the forbidden area when suddenly a loud noise was heard outside. Both of them were startled. The gangster ran out first, and then the people behind him followed suit.

They came outside and saw flames everywhere. They moved closer to the crowd and heard people talking inside. When they looked closely, they found that three people were fighting inside. One was a young man, one was the city lord here, in other words, the owner of the island, and one was an enemy who rushed over. There was a dying beast beside this enemy but it was still helping.

It seems that good people don't come.

Not far away, the injured and seriously ill patients lying in the house who could only watch the fierce battle escalate, panted and approached the door, muttering: "Don't lose, don't lose!"

The thug walked over and asked, "Why?"

The man at the door was covered in white bandages and looked badly injured. Who would have thought that the first thing he said was: "Stay away from me. I don't like the smell of you. You have a very annoying trait that has already come out and makes me feel uncomfortable."

The gangster frowned, feeling unhappy, but he didn't show it on the surface. He still wanted to find out what he wanted to know, so he stepped back with a smile and asked, "Can you tell me what you meant by what you just said?"

As he spoke, he secretly made up his mind, thinking, Don't let me seize the opportunity, otherwise, I will kill you all!

He totally disregarded the life of the young man who had saved him from the brink of death several times.

Originally, he didn't take the boy seriously. At this moment, he had made up his mind and the boy was even less important to him.

The bandage man said, "I have a serious infectious disease. My whole body is swollen. If I don't wear the bandage, I will bleed. It looks scary. My skin is floating up like it's inflated. If I poke it, there will be a hole. The sunken part will take a long time to heal. If you stand next to me, you will be infected by me. My breath can infect people. You have to be careful."

He asked, "Do you want to know more?"

The thug moved a little further away, nodded and said, "I want to know."

The bandage man looked at him and sneered, "Well, I'll tell you, the city lord is very important to us, because without her, we can't survive. If she wasn't here, we would have died long ago. The people in this room are either sick or injured, either dying or already dead. The reason we are still here, the reason we can still breathe, and the reason we can still live is because of her!"

The bandage man looked nervously at the situation in the air and said, "It is because of the city lord that he went against all odds and protected us, gave us a yard and a house, food and clothes, and even medicine, so that we can live here alone, away from other people. If it weren't for the city lord, we wouldn't be here, we wouldn't be able to survive, and we wouldn't be able to build such a big city.

Our lives would not be like this now, with no worries about food and clothing. We have so much food because the city lord encourages us. Otherwise, we would have collapsed and died a long time ago. "

As he spoke, he sighed involuntarily, lowered his head, wiped his tears, and felt a little pain and emotion. On the one hand, he was happy for such a city lord, and on the other hand, he was worried about the current situation. He was considering whether what he had just said was too serious. He raised his head to look at the person next to him, and found that the person had disappeared. He shook his head and sighed, "Sure enough."

I am still afraid.

However, he did not expect that what he should be lamenting was that the gangster was indeed a bad guy.

The thug had already run to the forbidden area, and there was no one else around. He thought, if other people were here, they would definitely not allow him to do anything, but now that there was no one here, he could take action! Quickly.

The thug clenched his fist and knocked the treasure down with one punch. The treasure fell to the ground and shattered all at once. It was indeed as the man said before, very fragile.

The thug laughed and quickly ran away.

He wanted to go to the shore, find a small boat and leave.

However, he was discovered.

The angry crowd who discovered him glared at him and shouted, "Damn you! You dared to enter the forbidden area and destroy our treasures. It's all your fault!"

Before he could finish his words, the island began to sink violently. The soil next to it that was connected to the land made a crackling sound, and then broke apart with a loud bang. A huge crack was torn open, getting bigger and wider. The sea water surged up from the ground and suddenly reached everyone's shoes, making them even angrier.

The thug knew the situation was bad and tried to run away quickly. However, before he could take two steps, he fell to the ground, cried out, hugged his legs and feet, and shouted, "It hurts, it hurts, what is torturing me?"

He opened his eyes wide and saw his skin falling off piece by piece. Fish scales gradually grew on his body, making him look like a huge, deformed and ugly fish. Everyone stared at him, frightened by the horrific scene at first, and then looked at each other, with the same smile on everyone's face. They approached the thug's body with weapons in hand, and the thug rolled on the ground in pain.

A hard harpoon suddenly stabbed out and pinned the gangster's body to the ground. The gangster could not move, and he wailed even louder. However, at this time, he could no longer speak. He reached out and touched his throat in panic. His throat could not make any sound, and he could not speak like a human as before, because his body had turned into a fish.

A huge fish.

Everyone laughed, lifted him up from the ground, and walked home happily. When they came to a huge fire, they threw him in.

He rolled and wailed in the flames, and no one came to help. They just looked at him and smiled with squinted eyes, like demons who had had a full meal, with very satisfied expressions.

He knew there was no hope for survival, and angrily cursed everyone: "You can't possibly survive!"

A very young girl sighed and asked softly, "Don't you know who caused us to be like this? You deserve this."

The thug refused to admit it and shouted, "It has nothing to do with me! It's not my fault! It's all your fault. If you hadn't fought and hadn't been hurt, you wouldn't have been picked up and sent back. If that person hadn't saved me, I wouldn't be here. It's all your fault, your own fault. You don't admit it and want to blame me. I won't admit it and I won't take the blame!"

The new harpoon pierced his body and he was pinned to death in the fire.

Just like that, the island gradually sank into the sea. The residents of the city stood in front of the fire, watching the rogue rolling around, repeating the process of death, preventing him from leaving, watching him die again, until he almost completely turned into a huge fish that was burnt by fire. The residents all died, with weird smiles on their faces, staring at the rogue, making sure that he could not leave no matter whether he was dead or alive.

The scoundrel was very angry and tried to leave the fire, but was pushed back and hit with the harpoon again.

He wanted to avoid the crowd, but was forced back by them with their weapons, so he had no choice but to return to the fire. He had been in the fire for too long, as if he had always lived here. He felt that there was something strange here, and he realized that fire could not be started underwater. However, the fire behind him did not go out, but turned blue in an instant, like a pile of huge jellyfish fragments.

He returned to the fire. Now that he no longer needed anyone to force him, he felt that it was not bad to stay there.

He almost thought that he would stay here forever, like a sealed monster, like a half-dead corpse, like a curse that could not be escaped and a blessing of eternal life were in effect at the same time.

He thought that was the case, but one day he suddenly saw the back of the boy leaving. The boy left the island with the city lord and the beast's body, as well as the beast's driver who was injured but not dead or unconscious. If all this was not enough, the gangster immediately saw the continent with bright sunshine, green plants, yellow straw, and heavy fruits...

Everything drove him crazy. He couldn't accept the reality because the gap was right in front of him and could not be ignored.

He couldn't accept it, so he wanted to leave here frantically, but was forced back into the fire again. If this place could still be considered a fire, then in short, he couldn't leave here. The residents around him smiled even more brightly, with green buds growing on their faces, as if there was a seed buried in every pore, and at this moment, the seed finally sprouted under the irrigation of sea water.

He did not mind this very much, but the young shoots grew rapidly, becoming green veins, bright red flowers, white teeth, and finally huge, brown trunks of tall trees. The residents were all standing, but then they could no longer stand and had to sit down. When they sat down, they were crushed by the weight and had to lie down, and finally they fell to the ground, as if they had finally died.

He was ecstatic, not caring that a normal person would not be like this. He just wanted to get out, so he climbed out along the tree trunk and reached the sea. He looked around and saw sea water everywhere, endless sea water. He swam for a long time but didn't find anyone, and there was nothing that could talk to him. He couldn't see the land, and gradually he couldn't even see the sunlight, because after dark there was no light again.

After a long time, he saw a little light in front of him. He rushed out and found fog in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, and then the fog dissipated. He realized that he seemed to have finally returned to the door of his home, but it took too long and was too bright.
