Chapter 205 Sacrifice?
Chapter 205
The conversation among the group made Lin Xia realize that they had actually seen through many things as well. A-Tong was right; a person's true nature can sometimes be a constraint.
People like Ji Wei and A Tong are exceptionally talented, easygoing, and have a very open-minded attitude towards everything. They don't dwell on things too much, value themselves highly, and at the same time, they are kind-hearted and compassionate. Perhaps due to their unique experiences, they have their own understanding of life.
The two of them lived freely and happily.
Like Lazy Cat, he is still relatively young, with a naive worldliness and a naive cruelty, which is actually a good thing for the people around him. At the same time, he has his own bottom line and sense of right and wrong.
With his parents by his side, he had a smooth and successful life, truly the protagonist, and lived a carefree life in this world.
Xie Cheng, perhaps due to his profession, has more and broader concerns and worries, which makes him more mentally taxing and responsible. Therefore, Lin Xia trusts him to manage the island.
However, the other three naturally accepted the changes in the world, the true meaning of death, and the cycle of life. But he, perhaps because of his special ability, found it difficult to truly believe, which was probably also related to his experiences.
But this is actually a constraint for him. People can't persuade him; they can't truly understand and agree with him, so he will always remain detached.
Lin Xia was somewhat worried that if this continued, his path might go further and further astray.
The direction one's superpowers largely reflects their understanding of those powers, their understanding of the world, and their understanding of the world at large.
If a person has a broad and deep understanding of these things, the field or skill they develop will be very impressive, and vice versa.
If, over time, your understanding becomes increasingly outdated, you'll quickly fall behind.
Thinking of this, Lin Xia paused. No, that's not right either. Perhaps love is something of another depth. She shook her head. She was still in the exploration stage herself, so how could she dare to point fingers at others?
Thinking of this, Lin Xia, who had originally wanted to say something, simply shut up. Everyone was exploring their own path, so it was best not to interrupt.
After listening to the group discuss for a while, Lin Xia also gained some insights. At times like these, communication can be very inspiring and enlightening.
Just then, Lin Yi sent a message: "A group of people have come from somewhere and occupied the island that Wang Jingqiu used to live on. These people are very strange."
“Strange? How so?” Ji Wei asked.
Lin Yi directly released some footage, and everyone took a look.
In the pictures, the people on the island are all wearing black robes. Those who don't have black robes cover themselves from head to toe with other clothes. The occasional clear shots of their faces show them to be pale and bloodless.
The strangest thing is that when Lin Xia left, there were still tens of thousands of people on that island. At that time, they were all normal. After the pollution was removed, they all became normal again.
Even without Lin Xia, everyone remained relatively quiet, with no large-scale open conflicts. Just like Yun Ya's island before, the three major forces lived peacefully and leisurely on the island, and now they were almost like one family.
But on this small island, you can't find a single person who doesn't cover themselves up completely.
"Could it be that they've all turned into vampires?" Lazy Cat's eyes gleamed with excitement.
"Get lost." Ji Wei gave him a disdainful look: "Vampires are Western things, at most they become ghosts. By the way, Seventh Sister, have you ever encountered the supernatural world?"
A-Tong glanced at the two of them speechlessly, then looked at Lin Xia with curiosity.
Lin Xia was speechless: "I've never encountered that. The soul is just an energy body, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Superpowers can harm spirits, especially water, fire, wood, and earth types, which are superpowers that carry the breath of life."
"Seventh Sister, how did you know?" Lazy Cat asked in surprise.
"I asked around," Lin Xia laughed. "I used to be terrified of these things. I never dared to leave my room too dark at night; I always had to leave a small nightlight on."
“Me too! I’m so scared to walk alone at night.” Ji Wei patted his chest: “I used to be afraid of encountering that kind of world, but luckily I didn’t.”
A-Tong glanced at Ji Wei: "You'd better spit it out quickly, I don't want to run into you right now."
Ji Wei's expression was indescribable, and she immediately spat, "I didn't want to run into you either."
"Is it really necessary? My roommates and I used to watch it together all the time." Lazy Cat pouted.
"If it weren't for the fact that we live in the same world, I really wish you would try meeting someone like that." Ji Wei rolled her eyes.
"What about the metal element? And how come the fire element is also related to life?" Xie Cheng asked after frowning for a long time.
"You're afraid of that too?" Ji Wei asked in surprise.
"No... I'm just worried about what might happen if we encounter it." Xie Cheng shook his head.
“The metal element has a sharp edge, which can harm spirits. The concept of life in the fire element has always existed. I wonder if anyone has been able to comprehend it,” Lin Xia replied.
"By the way, are we in charge of that island? Is the marine system up to something again?" Ji Wei said, looking at the pictures with annoyance.
"Of course it is, but just to be safe, I think we should observe first. Who knows what it is?" Lazy Cat rubbed his stubble.
Looking at those people, the word 'sacrifice' flashed through Lin Xia's mind.
She figured she probably wasn't just imagining things: "Keep an eye on them, see if they're planning some kind of sacrifice."
"No way, it can't be true, can it? Does the sacrifice create some kind of evil god?" Lazy Cat jumped up.
Ji Wei's eyes widened: "You know what, you really can't say it, it's very possible. Those small-scale incidents couldn't shake Seventh Sister, maybe this time she's going to do something big."
"Come on, Lazy Cat, I'll take you there quietly, and you can take me upstairs to have a look." Ji Wei was a little excited.
"Let's go, let's go!" Lazy Cat exclaimed excitedly.
"Hey you two, calm down. We have no idea where they were or what they did before, and we didn't notice anything amiss. They've set up this huge operation right under our noses, and now they're exposed to us. Don't you think this is a trap?" A-Tong swung out vines to grab the two of them.
"What do you mean?" Lazy Cat was taken aback.
"Maybe they just need a couple more high-level ability users like you?" A-Tong was speechless: "Haven't you read a lot of novels?"
Ji Wei's eyes widened: "You know what, you really can't believe it, it's very possible!" With that, she plopped down on the floor.
Lazy Cat gasped, his bottom pressing firmly against the sofa: "Sister Wei, can you put it another way?"
Atong laughed happily: "Judging from your expressions, this is just a guess."
Ji Wei shook his head: "I think it's very likely. In this world, there are many special items, and even if I'm lucky, I can't possibly get them all."
