"What should we do?" Long Man seemed to have no idea at all and had to pin his hopes on You Ai.
You Ai thought about it. After all, they were not famous females. Just saying this wouldn't necessarily gain the trust of others. She needed a partner who had the ability to subdue others even if they were not trusted.
The condition is very clear. The partner's ability level cannot be low, and currently she only knows one heir with a high ability level.
She came to Guan Landa and woke him up by snapping her fingers in the same way.
Guan Landa was in the same state as Long Man. Her eyes first regained clarity, then she became dazed. She looked at the person, then glanced around, frowned, and looked back at You Ai warily. "What's going on?"
"Do you remember what happened before you fell asleep?"
Seeing You Ai's sincere expression, although Guan Landa was full of doubts, she pursed her lips and tried to recall.
Her eyes suddenly opened wide, "Paint!"
Seeing You Ai nod, Guan Landa glanced at the crowd around them. Aside from the three of them, everyone else looked like a wooden sculpture or clay statue. She understood and said, "It's hypnosis!"
"Hmm!" You Ai said, "Although I don't know what Shoal Harbor is planning to do, it's clear that we've been transferred to another location. Finding an exit is the most important thing right now."
She and Guan Landa had only known each other for less than a day, and it was impossible for her to trust her unconditionally, but Guan Landa was not stupid. Judging from the current situation, it would be better to work together to solve the problem than to fight with anyone she met, so she agreed with You Ai's statement.
You Ai smiled faintly, "You are a yellow-level ability user, and you are the highest-level ability user here. No one can speak as effectively as you."
"What if they really don't want to obey?" Guan Landa was still a little worried. After all, fighting violence with violence would be the most disadvantageous to them at the moment.
"If someone really doesn't want to listen, we won't force them. We've said what needs to be said. If someone wants to join, we welcome them. If they don't want to, just let them go." Everyone has only one heart, so how can they think the same way?
Looking at the people around him who were still in a daze, You Ai exchanged for three blank cannons, intending to use the sound to stimulate everyone.
Holding the blank firecracker and listening to You Ai explain how to use it, Guan Landa wanted to ask her where this thing came from, but seeing Long Man's unconditional trust in her, she swallowed the words back.
When she saw Lixia throw the ball, she blocked it with smooth movements without any hesitation, and she knew that this person was no ordinary person.
Now in this unknown place, she was not at all panicked, but remained calm and composed.
To be honest, she was a little flustered when she just woke up. It was the person in front of her who gave her strength and helped her calm down.
After You Ai explained how to use it, he, Long Man and Guan Landa stood in different places. The three of them found a foothold - they formed a triangle with the crowd as the center. After confirming with each other, they pulled the blank cannons in their hands together.
Three simultaneous cannon shots rang out, and the hypnotized people in the middle were shocked and slowly woke up.
As soon as they woke up, they began to feel confused, doubtful and panicked. The noisy sound was more frightening than the sound of cannons.
"Quiet, everyone, be quiet!"
"Everyone please be quiet!"
Long Man and Guan Landa shouted at the top of their lungs, but no one listened. The feeling of helplessness and uneasiness spread, and everyone was in a panic. Some even started swimming aimlessly...
boom!
There was another loud noise, and everyone looked towards the source of the sound - You Ai was holding a cannon that had just been fired, and was now at the very edge.
She said: "I know everyone must be wondering why they are here and what is this place?"
She lowered her hand holding the cannon and continued, "Everyone present is confused, but one thing is certain: you are all here to participate in the selection. So, please recall carefully what you did before you fell asleep."
As soon as Youai finished speaking, the mermaids began to whisper to each other.
"I went back to my room to rest."
"I was originally outside, but the guards persuaded me to go back."
"I was called back, too. They said there was curfew. I wanted to argue with him about how early it was, but when I saw everyone else had gone back, I followed suit."
"Yes! I saw the painting."
"Oh yes, I saw a picture above me when I lay down, and I fell asleep while looking at it."
"I think I looked at the painting before I fell asleep."
“Is there something wrong with the painting?”
"Please be quiet," You Ai said, raising his hand to signal, and everyone gradually quieted down.
"I think everyone has guessed that the paintings in the room have a hypnotic effect, so everyone was hypnotized and then brought here."
Everyone started talking among themselves again, and suddenly one of them was clearly separated.
The mermaid who was separated was Lolita. The mermaids around her formed a circle with her as the center and talked about it.
"She's of the Nefertari race!"
"I heard they're good at hypnosis."
"I just heard her say that the painting has a hypnotic effect."
Suddenly there was a noise. Guan Landa glanced at You Ai and swam over, and You Ai followed.
"What's going on?" Guan Landa came to the side and said to Lolita who was separated.
A female standing nearby said, "I heard her say that the painting has a hypnotic effect, just now, in..."
She turned her head and saw You Ai coming over. He looked at her and continued, "Before this person said that the painting has hypnotic effects."
"But wasn't she hypnotized herself?"
"Who knows? It's hard to say whether it was a spy planted here."
There was a lot of discussion around, but Lolita said nothing.
It’s hard to say whether it’s related to Lolita, but it’s probably related to Nefertari.
Judging from what the two guards said, Shoal Harbor must have collaborated with other races to plan this, and Nefertari is the most qualified person to speak on hypnosis.
What good will it do them if we just send these non-real heirs here?
Threat? This is not very realistic. Even if there are a few true heirs among them, they cannot become a weak point to control other races. It may even have a counterproductive effect.
They are not the real heirs, and threatening them will not have much effect at all. But if something happens to them, all races will not let Shoal Port go, which will not benefit Shoal Port at all.
There are also the guards who followed. Each tribe has selected people with high-level abilities to escort them. If something goes wrong, the guards' resistance can cause heavy damage to Shoal Port.
But Lolita was indeed brought here after being hypnotized. If she was the spy, wouldn't she be able to control the overall situation better if she was awake?
Or was she pretending too?
