Undercover pirate, you can become stronger by killing enemies

Martin was the first to speak:"It seems that there are indeed no nobles here, and the fog does not seem to be naturally formed. The traces of human intervention are too obvious."

"The people here don't seem to be very lively." Bruno recalled,"The old and young are fine, but those in their thirties feel like zombies."

Khalifa summed up her opinion:"The order here is very good, but there is a problem, too much order, but it seems very...mechanical?"

"Very good, it seems that there is no class, no oppression, but it seems a little unreal."Martin smacked his lips,"Captain, didn't someone slip you a note before? Take a look at what it says?"

"I've seen it on the road. It says that the fog is fake and occupied by demons. I never figured out what it means." Zhang Lie threw the note over. Kalifa guessed,"The fog on this island is fake, and it is occupied by some demon? That's what it means literally."

Martin fiddled with the note and said casually,"Could it be that this is not a word, but four separate characters?"

"It's possible." Bruno thought for a moment,"But there are many possibilities, and it's hard to draw a conclusion."

Zhang Lie didn't want to dwell on it any more, so he summarized his thoughts:

"In short, there must be a demon, and it is very likely that he is the one who specifies the rules, but he is not necessarily a bad person. At least on the surface, as long as the people here are willing to work, they can survive.

We will explore the rest. From the observation of these two places, there is relative fairness among people, and their lives and actions are very regular, but there are also problems inside, and some people are dissatisfied.

From a geographical point of view, all places are wrapped in thick fog, and the roads are connected by tunnels, which makes it very difficult to connect all places. Under normal circumstances, there will only be one gathering place, but it is not the case now. It is very likely that these fogs were formed later.

From the management point of view, it is obviously under the same rules, and there are no major problems with basic management, and there are special positions like receptionists.

In this special environment, even if there are few people coming, we have never heard of it outside, but there are people like receptionists here.

But that Ed said that he never collects taxes from civilians, so how can such management personnel survive?

And what is their purpose for us? Ed said before that he had a request, which is very strange.

More importantly, what happened last night, there was obviously a wave of pirate attacks, but the next day it was as if nothing had happened, and I can be sure that no pirates were killed."

Kalifa summarized it briefly:"There are only a few main points: the person who made the rules, the purpose of this person, the origin and function of the fog, and what happened last night."

Zhang Lie clapped his hands:"Yes, although there are many things, it will be too passive if we wait until they come tomorrow. We still have to take the initiative."

Bruno stood up immediately:"It's useless to just think about it. I'll go check it out first to see if I can get any useful information."

"All right, then we will split up and meet here at the end." Zhang Lie agreed to Bruno's request,"I'm afraid no one will communicate with us."

At this time, Martin suddenly said,"Why don't you ask the guy who slipped the note?"

The remaining three people suddenly stopped and looked at each other. Finally, Zhang Lie pointed at Martin and finally said:

"That makes sense!"

Although they had a candidate, they couldn't just go back. The four of them explored the town first.

Each of them chose a direction to move. Although Zhang Lie was also exploring, he just walked and observed.

The old man's vigilance, the middle-aged man's doubts, and the children's curiosity were all in his eyes. It was exactly the same as the last village.

"Why was he on guard? Was it because he had walked with Ed before? Or was it because he was a stranger?"Zhang Lie was a little confused.

"This shouldn't be right, after all, there are passages everywhere, it's not completely isolated."

Finally, he found a child, squatted down and asked,"Little boy, can I ask you a few questions?"

Before the child could say anything, a middle-aged man in his thirties came over, stopped the child behind him, and asked back:

"Who are you?"

Zhang Lie hesitated for a moment, but still answered the question:"My name is Zhang Lie. I accidentally passed by this island yesterday, so I came up to take a look."

"Passing by this island?!!!"

The middle-aged man was very surprised, even shocked, and finally said:"We haven't seen outsiders here for more than 20 years, and we won't say anything."

After that, he picked up the child and turned to leave, but stopped after a few steps:"If you really want to know something, go and check it yourself. I have family, and I hope you can succeed."

At this time, an elderly man nearby whispered:"Now is the market time, don't say irrelevant words, and don't care about irrelevant people." The middle-aged man immediately stepped away after hearing this. Zhang Lie ignored the hostile eyes of the elderly, looked at the middle-aged man who left and the curious child in his arms, and finally gave up on continuing to inquire and returned the same way.

In the evening, the four gathered again and exchanged information. Zhang Lie found that the situations they encountered were similar.

"In other words, you didn't gain anything?"

Martin immediately complained:"They are very unfriendly to pirates, very alert, but not afraid, and kept staring at me, so I couldn't ask anything."

Zhang Lie waved his hand:"No, this shows that they obviously know what pirates are, and based on my experience, they were different twenty years ago than they are now. It is very likely that the fog came out twenty years ago, and the person who made the rules also appeared twenty years ago."

Bruno agreed:"Yes, people under the age of twenty know nothing about the outside world, people around thirty seem to be a little dissatisfied with the current situation, and people over forty are very repulsive to us, which matches the twenty-year time period very well."

"There is one more thing."Zhang Lie pinched his chin and said,"Are we caring too much about these things? I only realized it when I was asked this question before.

Do you remember that we just happened to pass by here, so we came up to take a look, but now we have no intention of returning at all, and our minds are full of further exploration."

Bruno and Kalifa were also stunned. Martin had a serious face and thought for a long time, and finally said,"Yes, when I was on the boat, I really wanted to come up. I was obviously affected."

Zhang Lie glanced at the Husky:"It has nothing to do with this. You are like this wherever you go."

Kalifa asked,"Captain, shall we return to the ship?"

Zhang Lie hesitated, and finally nodded and said,"From the eyes of those old people, we can see that some of the things that Ed said are not wrong. There is still relative fairness. Let's leave first, and then let the navy... no, let the revolutionary army come and take a look."

Time soon came to the second half of the night. The four left the room and walked to where they had come before, but something went wrong.

"What happened? Why is this road gone?"
