If a stranger suddenly pops up in a completely unfamiliar place, he will say that he is here to help you.
Only a fool would believe such a suspicious thing!
Old Tang looked up and down at the man who claimed to be here to help them, and silently complained in his heart.
Do you think he is a young man who doesn't understand anything? It's a joke. Not to mention Norton's tens of thousands of years of memory and experience, Old Tang has already seen a lot of things just by being a bounty hunter.
How could a few simple words fool him?
"You said you are here to help us, then tell us how you can help us?" Old Tang sneered at the other party's statement, but did not continue to beat around the bush with this guy. Instead, he asked straightforwardly.
Although the other party is indeed suspicious now, the same is true for several of them on this island.
In this peaceful town that seems to be out of touch with modern society, they seem so out of place no matter where they are.
There are doubts everywhere here, and Old Tang can't even find an angle to cut in, because no matter which angle, it is very thought-provoking. Until now, they are not completely sure whether this utopia is in danger.
And now this person suddenly jumped out and said something about wanting to help them, calling them "strangers". It gave people a sense of being an NPC in the game, and might be able to give some useful clues.
And now this person suddenly jumped out and said something about wanting to help them, calling them "strangers". It gave people a sense of being an NPC in the game, and might be able to give some useful clues.
Therefore, although he felt that the person in front of him looked very suspicious, Old Tang decided to give it a try.
After all, how can you know if the other person is sincere if you don't try? And is the other person's purpose questionable? If there is really some interest, wouldn't he miss a big fish?
Old Tang's mind was spinning, but on the other side, the man looked magnanimous and was not intimidated by Old Tang's sharp eyes.
"I know you were stranded on this island because of the storm, right. I even know more, such as... your origins."
The man spoke in relaxed words.
The other party's attitude made Old Tang even more vigilant. The other party seemed to have known about their existence for a long time, and seemed to have some understanding of them. He even knew the reasons why they were exposed to the sea water.
"I know far more than you think. You need help, but I also hope you can help me. Wouldn't it be great to have mutually beneficial cooperation?" The man said with a smile on his face, making people listen.
If you don't understand.
Old Tang narrowed his eyes and looked at the man in front of him carefully.
The man looks ordinary, wears ordinary clothes, has a slightly broad forehead, sharp features, thin lips, and a shallow smile, giving people a very reliable and trustworthy feeling.
The monocle on the right eye seems to add a more mature and steady atmosphere.
However, Old Tang did not dare to be blinded by appearances.
The most terrifying thing in this world is the pretender.
They always like to wrap themselves in layers of fog, making it difficult for people to see through.
Old Tang snorted coldly, "What do you want to do?"
Hearing this, the man still smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I just want to tell you that it is not an accident that you came to this Utopia this time. There are some secrets hidden behind it."
Old Tang pondered for a while and asked, "What secret?"
The man shook his head, "How could I know such a thing? I can't speculate on the meaning of that great being. I can't even think of his name... because... I was also a victim before."
His tone was a little mocking, but also a little lonely.
As he spoke, the man paused and observed Old Tang's reaction.
Seeing Old Tang's expression change unpredictably, he seemed to be considering the truth or falsehood of what he said.
The man kept up his efforts and continued to bewitch, "What I know is definitely more detailed than you imagine. Are you willing to cooperate with me to uncover the truth of this matter?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Tang immediately replied, "Why should we believe you?"
Old Tang always had reservations about what this man said.
After all, in a strange place, any slightest disturbance will involve other factors. They have just arrived here, and all the information is not clear yet, so they cannot make a judgment at all.
"You have no choice, don't you? Besides cooperating with me, do you have other options?" The man shrugged his shoulders, suppressed the smile just now, and did not hide the contempt and sarcasm on his face, "You are already here
I've been here for half a day, but unfortunately, you haven't found any useful clues so far, right?"
"..." Old Tang felt that his fist was a little hard.
However, Old Tang could not refute what the other party said, because what the other party said was indeed true.
After staying here for most of the day, they couldn't find any useful information at all. The only thing that was slightly useful was to confirm that there was a boat here and they could barely go out to sea.
And now they don't even know where they are. Even if they ask the port staff for a nautical chart, they find that they can't read the words on it at all... and the continents and oceans painted on it seem to be familiar to him.
There are some slight discrepancies in the world map.
This situation really made him a little depressed.
"Since you know us, you must have your own channels and means. I need evidence, not just empty talk and random lies."
Old Tang spoke slowly and firmly, and the eyes he looked at the other person were full of scrutiny and exploration.
There was a faint glimmer of gold in his eyes, revealing a strong majesty invisibly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This kind of momentum comes from the supreme momentum of the Dragon King.
With such an oppressive aura, even the mysterious figure standing in front of Old Tang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Of course." He said, took out two newspapers from his body and threw them to Old Tang.
Old Tang reached out and took the newspaper. It was a very retro-looking newspaper. The paper was yellowish in color and felt very rough. It did not look like the craftsmanship of a modern newspaper.
After opening it, what comes into view...
It was words he couldn't understand at all.
"..."
Old Tang glared at the other party angrily, "What do you mean?"
"Sure enough, you can't understand the words here, right?" the man said with a smile.
Old Tang snorted coldly, "Are you kidding me?"
In response to this, the man spread his hands and said, "Nothing, I just want to prove my guess. This is the common writing on the island. As you can see, this is not the writing you have mastered. But you can and
Isn’t it strange that other people on the island communicate fluently?”
"You..." Old Tang was speechless for a moment. He also knew that this matter was unusual, but he couldn't think of any reason why he could communicate with the people on the island. It obviously sounded to him like the island
These people are indeed speaking Chinese.
And they can even match their lip-syncs.
But since this person made it clear...
"Do you know something?" Old Tang asked with a serious face.
The other party raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Sorry, I don't know."
"..."
Old Tang's fists clenched tighter and tighter.
The man looked at Old Tang's expression, and the smile on his face deepened, "Because this kind of thing involves a certain existence. Even if I know, I can only say that I don't know."
"What is your goal?"
Old Tang suddenly changed the topic. He wanted to see what the other party wanted to do.
"You are hinting at me everywhere in your words. But there is a big secret behind my utopia, and you want to guide me to find the truth. Our purpose is just to leave here. But you are deliberately trying to get us involved in a deeper level...
..." Old Tang sneered a few times, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Don't think I don't know. When it comes to unknown things, the less you know, the safer it is."
Laughing to death, this is his personal experience.
As the Dragon King, he has never seen anything happen. If his human identity was not discovered, he could live in peace with other humans.
But once someone discovers his true identity, it is obvious that the other person will not survive.
The same applies here.
If there are really beings on this island that are beyond people's imagination, even beings that are beyond the Dragon King, then the best way is to get as far away as possible and get out of here as soon as possible.
Moreover, this routine is also used in novels, movies, games and TV series.
Curiosity can kill the cat.
The man raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had already expected this result.
"You are a smart person." He praised without hesitation, "But sometimes being too smart may not be a good thing. I think you should understand this truth."
Old Tang glanced at him coldly, "Are you threatening me?"
The man smiled and shook his head, "I just hope we can reach a consensus. Although I do know a lot of things, there are some things I can't tell you. As you said, the less you know about some things, the better."
"I think what you need most now is the information I provide to help you get out of here, isn't it?"
Old Tang did not answer.
Of course he wanted to leave here as soon as possible, but... he always felt that this man was not telling the truth. Maybe he was paranoid and couldn't tell. After all, this man's identity was mysterious, and what he said would inevitably be false.
The ingredients are in.
And...for some reason, Old Tang always felt that this guy was uneasy and well-intentioned.
However, the current situation is indeed very unfavorable for him.
He must figure out what is going on on this island before he can make a decision. Otherwise, no matter how powerful he is and can escape alone, he will not be able to bring the other two people back.

Old Tang fell into a brief tangle, while the man smiled and waited patiently for Old Tang to make a decision.
After a long time, Old Tang raised his head and looked at the man in front of him, "Is your purpose to find the truth here?"
The man still looked mysterious, neither admitting nor denying, "No, I'm just a decipherer."
Hearing this, Old Tang frowned and said, "Decryption scholar?"
The man nodded, "Yes, decipherer. There are many mysteries on this island, and I just want to figure out the reasons. As for you..."
A trace of ridicule flashed in the man's eyes, "Even if you don't want to be involved in the mystery here, it is already irreversible. After all, you people are already involved in it. No matter how hard you struggle, you can't break away from the thread of fate."
"As long as you see the true face of Utopia, you will know that everything here is a manipulated puppet show." The man said calmly, "And your fate has already been determined -"
Old Tang's brows furrowed more and more tightly, "Our fate?"
"Yes, the life trajectories of the people here have already been determined, and you are just a supporting role in the fate."
The man said calmly, "The so-called Utopia is just an illusion built on nothingness."
"Phantom!?" Old Tang muttered.
He suddenly felt that everything in front of him became confused.
This is worse than another world.
I always feel that the deeper I understand, the more troublesome it becomes.
"If that's the case, then why did you come to us?" Old Tang stared at the other party suspiciously.
"Because you were the first people to appear in Utopia after it was destroyed by a storm and thunder. I don't know why you came here." The man said with a smile, "Except for me, everyone here
Everyone will be targeted by her. Or... maybe she asked you to come here on purpose."
"she?"
Old Tang suddenly seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Is she the miraculous magician you are talking about who claims to be able to make any wish come true?"
"Oh, have you met that person before?"
the man asked with interest.
"That's right."
Old Tang nodded.
"They have a very close relationship with each other." The man still did not directly answer Old Tang's question.
This makes Old Tang feel very unhappy, but at present... it seems that cooperating with this person who deserves a beating seems to be the best way. After all, the other party seems to know a lot.
So after thinking for a while, Old Tang finally decided to take a gamble.
"It seems that cooperating with you is the best option. I really don't understand why you scholars always like those mysterious mysteries. We can try our best to help you, but you must also tell us more
information."
"Of course, no problem." The man readily extended his hand, "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
