The room was dark, and there was not a trace of light that could shine through the cracks.
The dark wall seemed to absorb all light.
A man was leaning against the wall, staring in the direction of the door.
After Lin Ming woke up, he groped around on his body and found that everything he had on him had been completely plundered. Except for this piece of clothing, those people left nothing for him.
Even the electronic bee that was very hidden on his body was gone.
Apart from that, he didn't have much strength in his body.
The most fundamental reason is that when he forcibly improved his abilities, he exhausted too much energy, and now he has fallen into a vicious circle where he is unable to resist.
Lin Ming tapped twice on the wall next to him, trying to attract others' attention, but his voice was too small, or even if he was noticed, no one would waste time on him.
He has been locked in a small dark room with no light, unaware of the changes in the stars or the passage of time.
Those who imprisoned him here seemed to have forgotten his existence and never visited him once, let alone brought him food.
If Lin Ming didn't have a system by his side, he would probably starve to death in this place.
…
"The people from the Holy See are really bullying people. They have been doing this so many times this month!"
"Aren't they just relying on that traitor..."
"Forget it, stop talking and go take a look. The elder said we can't let them in anymore."
"Well, here we go."
"By the way, did you find out anything about those sneaky people we arrested recently?"
"I don't know. They like to wander in our forbidden areas. Generally, only the elders are qualified to inquire about this kind of thing. I don't know exactly what it is, but I secretly saw the elders and their faces not looking good last time."
"Then guess what happened?"
"How could I possibly know."
"How about we secretly go to the forbidden area tonight to see what's inside?"
"No, the elder has expressly prohibited us from entering. If you want to commit suicide, don't hold me back. I won't go!"
After Bai Yue's attempt to forcibly create a bloodline to return to his ancestors failed, Long Island experienced another extremely fierce war and was no longer as prosperous as before.
Although the people who stayed have rebuilt their homes, the dead will not return to the world. They can only stubbornly guard this land and secretly scold the traitors who surrendered to the Holy See.
Originally, their lives were relatively peaceful, but recently many people discovered that other people from the Holy See began to appear near Dragon Island.
You must know that their location is hidden and cannot be easily found unless someone has lived here before.
The experience of being betrayed and hurt once again ignited their anger, and the entire island began to enter a state of full force.
Anyone who is suspicious will be arrested, interrogated, and then slaughtered.
But even so, it can't stop the conspiracy from approaching again.
The meeting hall of Long Island.
The place that was originally quite splendid still has some traces of the war after repairs.
Sitting in the meeting hall were several old men with white hair, and they had very obvious signs of age on their bodies.
The loose skin and cloudy eyes all reveal the long years they have experienced.
"Those people in the Holy See are getting more and more ready to take action. They are trying to figure out our bottom line and the way to enter. With that traitor here, sooner or later they will find the way to enter that we have reset."
The old man sitting in the main seat had extremely deep wrinkles between his eyebrows, like the knife of time, which had made three deep marks on his face.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
"Dragon Island has developed so far and cannot recover in our hands!"
"I think the most urgent task is to awaken His Majesty who is sealed in the forbidden area."
"The only one who can save us now is Your Majesty!"
A kind-hearted old man sitting in the lower seat said rather gently.
"If we hadn't believed too much in His Majesty's ability, we wouldn't have been taken advantage of by the traitor and caused such a big trouble."
The leader of the old man nodded.
"We old guys are at the end of our rope. Your Majesty is indeed our only hope."
"But that seal was set by the blood and tears of so many of our relatives who are connected by blood. How difficult it is to break it!"
"No one can survive the end of the lockdown."
"If you let the juniors below do it, it will easily deepen the resentment of the seal if you are not careful. This matter will not be easy to deal with."
"snort!"
Speaking of this, an old man with light red hair suddenly slapped the table and stood up. He looked like a late but still majestic lion king.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? It's actually quite simple to break the seal."
"During the war, didn't they use our dead subjects to strengthen the formation?"
"We also use the same method as them. Since our people can't be used, we will use their people."
"I've seen that there are quite a few people wandering around outside us these days. I will catch them all and throw them all into His Majesty's sealing array, and let them use their sinful blood to wash His Majesty's seal."
While the time was being discussed in the meeting hall, only the sonorous and powerful voice of the old man could be heard echoing. After a while, the old man sitting in the main seat looked at everyone with a solemn expression.
"There is no better way now."
"We have been hiding from the world for too long. Those people have treated us as weak persimmons. It is time to let them see Dragon Island. It has never been a place where they can come and leave whenever they want!"
"For us old guys to be able to do this at the last moment of our lives, it can be regarded as doing our part. Let's go back."
"Tomorrow, take those outsiders with you to make a blood sacrifice to His Majesty!"
"You should also go back and get ready."
"Don't forget to restrain the little ones in the clan so that they don't wander around in forbidden areas."
In the blink of an eye, several old people in the meeting hall disappeared.
The serious old man sighed often, put his hands behind his back, took a step forward, and the next moment he appeared in the dense forest.
Looking down at the light blue lake from mid-air, it is crystal clear and breathtakingly beautiful.
The old man raised his right hand behind his back and wrote a rune with his fingers in mid-air. The rune slowly took shape in the air, shone with starlight, and landed on the lake.
The next moment, the calm lake surface began to foam.
A figure slowly emerged from the crystal clear water.
The old man suspended in mid-air fell to the ground, knelt down on one knee, and lowered his head deeply.
"Your Majesty, the future of Long Island depends on you."
"Please forgive me for waking you up in such a bloody way."
There was no movement in the foaming lake water. The people sleeping quietly at the bottom of the lake were calmly experiencing a rare and beautiful dream.
