Chapter 107 Chapter 107 In such a quiet place...
In such a quiet, unfamiliar, and dark garden, Saul should have been more alert, or at least more alert than he was now.
However, he not only forgot how trembling he was beside Sada before coming to the garden, but also forgot how anxious he was to leave the place quickly to avoid danger after he came to the garden and before he met Gideon.
He was immersed in the quiet atmosphere and thought that other places were just as quiet. He was also confused by Gideon's respectful attitude and thought that Gideon would be respectful to him in the same way in front of others.
After all, as a deep diver sent to assist him, Gideon should also be his subordinate in the deep sea. No matter what, he couldn't think of any need for Gideon to do things for others.
Besides, if they stayed here, they would be like two sailors on a small boat. If the boat capsized, they would both fall into the sea. What good would that do to anyone? He couldn't figure it out.
So, he really couldn't be vigilant anymore.
He thought it was no big deal and would not pose a threat to his safety, but he overlooked the fact that Sada had discovered him before he came.
Even though he didn't discover his identity, he found him strange and personally sent him to a nearby place. Although he left afterwards, he was not sure that Sada had really left.
If that's the case, how can he really feel safe? He's too forgetful. If nothing happens today, there's still a chance it could happen tomorrow. He can't really blame it all on others.
Gideon brought Saul to where Bai Tianming was without any hindrance.
The other divers had almost destroyed all the plants here and returned to Bai Tianming early to ask for instructions.
Bai Tianming considered that it would not be long before Gideon would bring Saul over, and it would not be fun with so few people, so he asked the divers to rest together in a secluded place nearby.
Joseph and the other deep divers stayed in a nearby hiding place.
While they were resting, Gideon appeared with Saul.
"Are you the one who's here to pick me up?" Saul glanced at Bai Tianming. Although he had never seen Bai Tianming before, and didn't think his face was familiar, he was very sure that Bai Tianming looked nothing like a deep diver, as if they were not of the same kind. But then he thought, maybe he was a deep diver whose appearance had not changed yet, and came here to gain experience. It was not impossible. Not only did he not doubt it, he also found a place to sit down, like a teahouse owner, waiting to be served.
Bai Tianming blinked, but before he could speak, Gideon frowned. He couldn't help but feel sorry for Bai Tianming and whispered to Saul, "He's quite capable. Even though he's just a backup, you can't treat him like this."
Saul frowned and was about to get angry. He asked questions in a barrage of questions: "What's this? What does it have to do with you? Who are you to him? Did he get in through your back door? If you want to use the back door, don't come in!"
"Everyone knows this mission is dangerous, yet they still come here hoping to get a piece of the action. How can it be that easy? If everyone does this, how can we survive? No mission will be completed. When the time comes, who will be asked, is it your fault or mine? Can you take responsibility?"
He now felt that he had arrived in a safe place, and that no one around him could compare to him in terms of ability or status. He felt like a piece of leavened bread.
So he started to become irritable and angry, like a lit firecracker, just waiting for the fuse to burn out and then explode completely. He was even a little impatient.
Although this might not be a good thing to do, he didn't care because he was sure that none of the people around him had the right to blame him.
Not to mention that there is nothing wrong with him now, even if there is something wrong with him, the people around him can only swallow their anger and cannot do anything to him, so what is there for him to worry about?
He was willing to do whatever he pleased! He didn't want to be manipulated by others, and he didn't want to tolerate criticism from others, even the slightest bit, even if they were right. He didn't stand in his current position just to reason with others!
After he finished speaking, Saul snorted, raised his head, and was about to leave immediately, as if he would not give up until they apologized to him, like a kindergarten kid crying and shouting in the playground, insisting on buying his favorite toy.
Gideon spoke not to argue with Saul, but for Bai Tianming. He did not want to interfere with Bai Tianming's affairs, so he turned a deaf ear to Saul's words and just turned to look at Bai Tianming.
Bai Tianming really couldn't get angry.
Being angry with Saul felt like snatching a lollipop from a kindergarten kid. It was weird and unnecessary. Besides, none of Saul's words could hit Bai Tianming so hard. Bai Tianming didn't see any reason to be angry.
To sum up, Bai Tianming smiled at Gideon and told him not to worry about it. Gideon nodded, took a half step back, and gave the two of them the space to continue the conversation.
Saul was about to leave when Bai Tianming stopped him, smiling and politely, as if he'd truly listened. Even though his words were truly unpleasant, he was still willing to be humble, treating him like a leader and asking, "He's just an employee and can't figure out the situation. Don't be angry, I apologize. We're all here to complete the mission, and it's almost done. You shouldn't leave now, right?"
Saul raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Tianming. He felt that he looked a little more pleasing to the eye than when they first met. He snorted coldly, "Well, I am a magnanimous man and will not bother with you."
Bai Tianming nodded repeatedly, his face full of agreement. "You're right. You're magnanimous, and we can't compare to you. We know we need you, but you can't leave. If you leave, we won't be able to do anything, and we don't know what to do! Fortunately, you stayed."
Saul felt a little happier after hearing these words, but he didn't want to show it. He said reluctantly, "Since you are all useless, I will stay."
Bai Tianming continued to nod, and then asked gently, "You just arrived here and haven't revealed your identity yet. I wonder if we'll be lucky enough to find out who you are? You look like a high-ranking official! You're different from us, and we certainly can't compare to you, but we can't be completely in the dark, right? If we don't know anything, and someone asks us, we won't know what to say!"
Saul raised his chin, like a wizard who had just flown across the street on a broom, and said proudly, "Since you're knowledgeable and understanding, I'll begrudgingly telling you. Listen carefully, I am the messenger sent by Cthulhu! The savior of the Deep Ones! Your captain, your guide, and the leader of your mission! You all must listen to me! I'll make the arrangements! If you don't want to, get out! If you're willing, do it now! Don't drag your feet and waste my time!"
There is nothing wrong with this, because whether it is arrogant or unpleasant words, those in lower positions usually hear them more than those in higher positions, and they don't have to take them to heart.
Saul happened to run into Bai Tianming, who used his identity and revealed his identity to the Deep Diver. He was simply putting on a black face and putting his hands on his hips, saying that he was the scapegoat.
Would the other Deep Divers recognize him? Of course not! Regardless of preconceived notions, Bai Tianming is indeed calmer, stronger, easier to get along with, and even more pleasant to talk to. A quick comparison would have the other Deep Divers knowing who to choose. No matter what, they wouldn't choose Saul.
If they really chose Saul, not only would they not be able to beat Bai Tianming with one hand together, they would also have to admit that they were blind and had bad brains, and were deceived into recognizing the wrong person. Looking at Saul's expression, it was clear that even if they turned against Saul now, they would not know that they would be scolded, and in serious cases, they might even be beaten.
Why would they bother themselves with this for no reason? It's not like they're having a good time! Even if Bai Tianming was really fake, it had to be true now!
The deep divers looked at each other, nodded, and rushed out at the same time.
Joseph followed them a little late, blinking his eyes, feeling like he had missed an entire episode. He wasn't quite sure what was going on, and his face had the clear confusion of a duckling facing a pond that had never been in the water.
A group of people appeared in front of Saul. Saul was immediately frightened. He took a step back with his eyes wide open, looking at the front very vigilantly. He glanced at them all and found that none of them could beat him. He breathed a sigh of relief, confirmed their identity as deep divers, and became arrogant again.
"I am the messenger of Cthulhu! Your leader!" Although he was confused about the situation, Saul was not afraid. He held his chin high, put his hands on his hips, and faced the deep divers with his pale and delicate face. He was very proud and repeated his previous words in a louder voice, as if reading his acceptance speech into a loudspeaker. His tone was full of pride and condescending, almost bossy. He said: "You all have to listen to me! I don't know where you ran to before, and why you suddenly appeared now, but since you are already in front of me, don't even think about running away! Dig a hole now!"
As he spoke, he took out the curse and held it high, as if holding up a huge night-shining pearl in the darkness, and said loudly: "I will bury the curse! You have already destroyed the soil and plants! As long as the curse is established! We can leave! This is the last step! Act quickly!"
When he said this, he felt that the deep divers around him would listen to him and were completely on the same path as him.
But he was completely unaware. The deep divers were stunned after hearing these words. They vaguely realized that they seemed to have chosen the wrong person, but there was no turning back. They became even more determined to control him immediately and return him to Bai Tianming.
