This content caused the office to fall into an eerie silence.
"Wow, why does it sound so scary now? I didn't realize it back then."
Lida patted her chest with lingering fear, took out her small backpack, and prepared to eat something to calm down her shock.
Hugo didn't believe it: "Impossible, I've been here for two years, haven't I been fine?"
Crowley closed the book, blew out the smoke, and said in a deep voice: "Crow."
Crowe looked at Hugo and said: "Lieutenant Colonel Hugo, didn't you feel strange when you came to garrison?"
Hugo thought for a while and said: "I came here two years ago. I took over the post of base director after he passed away due to illness. Since I couldn't get inside, I don't know what happened, but I heard that some people here have been here for three years.
They were called in before, and then a new group of people were let in. Since then, the base has been unable to recruit navy personnel."
Crowe nodded and said: "According to the intelligence I saw, although the Kingdom of Tada does not communicate much with the outside world, it does have normal diplomacy and has traces of communication with other countries on the land. Until ten years ago, they
The exchanges are getting shorter and shorter. From this, it can be inferred that the content in the book had already happened in reality ten years ago, but it was five years ago that the Kingdom of Tada officially cut off diplomacy with neighboring countries."
"That means that they spent five years. Not only did they not find Bluebeard, but they also made the disaster more raging within the kingdom. So they simply cut off contact with other countries and sealed the borders, which would prevent the disaster from spreading to other countries.
nation."
"Miss Lida, when was the last time you came here?" Crowe asked.
Lida chewed the apple, tilted her head and thought for a moment: "I forgot the specific time before coming to the East China Sea, it won't be too long."
"Then, it means that this book did not exist a long time ago. It can be concluded that the ability of 'Blue Beard' was not too strong at that time, but as time changed, his contagiousness increased significantly, which is why he became like this
The publication of this book.”
"Three years ago, the kingdom banned this book and officially locked down the country. In addition, the port city of Tada Town changed a group of people and even stopped people from going to sea. This means that the disaster within the kingdom has become very serious.
"
"We don't know exactly what happened, but Absolun's ability is to create illusions. The plaque Mr. Clow saw at the port before was an illusion, and the port is for outsiders, which means that
Their strategic goals have changed from the inside out."
"That is to say."
Crowe pushed up his glasses, cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "The situation inside the kingdom is already very bad, even."
He didn't dare to say the rest.
But Kuro could guess it.
It is very likely that everyone in the country will suffer.
If something happened to tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people, it would be a big deal.
Hugo also understood what Crowe said, and said: No, if this is really the case in the Tada Kingdom, then it would be better to inform the World Government from the beginning."
"Isn't that why we can't notify the government?"
Qrow stood up, put the book in his arms, and sighed.
If the content in the book can become reality, then from the current point of view, the people here are very scary.
During the day, he acts like a normal person, but at night he transforms into a monster. Even if he dies, he can still be resurrected the next day and continue to live like a normal person. If you go on like this, if you can't find the person with the ability, you will really be blind.
If this kind of thing is reported to the World Government, once the government sends people to find out the truth here, and it is determined that it cannot be solved, Kuro knows what the only method is.
The Tada Kingdom may have considered this and did not make it public.
After all, rather than destroying the country in an instant, there is still hope of salvation by slowly solving the problem internally.
But now it seems that it is probably just delaying the destruction of the country.
"That's a country. It really gives me a headache."
Qrow shook his head.
He got involved in a troublesome situation again.
"Let's go."
"Where to go?" Hugo asked.
Kuro said: "Look for the man named Gugas. The strange woman mentioned him. If he is a group, he should know something."
"impossible!"
Hugo jumped up at this time, "It is absolutely impossible for Mr. Gugas to be with pirates and evil people. He is the person I respect the most, and I will not allow you to insult him!"
Kuro turned his head and said, "Take off your skin and say such things to me again, Lieutenant Colonel Hugo!"
"I'll go with you and I will prove his innocence!" Hugo followed.
…
There is a huge bridge in front of the gate at the end of Tada Town, and under the bridge is an endless abyss.
The island seems to have been hollowed out from here, and there is no other place to get close to it except here.
When Cullo brought the navy here, he found that the place was unusually deserted, with no one at all. The fortress full of heavy artillery on both sides of the gate was also unmanned.
With Kuro's eyesight, he could even see that the cannon holes were filled with dust. Not only had they not been used for a long time, they had not even been cared for.
"Mr. Gogas, Mr. Gogas!"
Hugo started shouting at the top of his lungs.
"No need to shout."
Kuro blew out the smoke, looked at the small fortress above the gate, and said, "The people left this way when we came here. They are very accomplished in seeing, hearing, and seeing."
Following his words, a crisp sound sounded on the door.
It sounded like a sharp weapon scratching the ground.
From there, a man wearing a monk's uniform appeared slowly. He was holding a religious book in his left hand, with his eyes closed, and he was mumbling something, as if he was praying.
Just like in the photo, he wears a pair of round-rimmed glasses and looks very elegant, if it weren't for the fact that he was dragging a giant ax in his other hand.
As he walked, the ax blade rubbed against the ground, and that crisp sound came from here.
this man
Very strong.
Qrow narrowed his eyes.
"Mr. Gurgas!"
Hugo said excitedly: "Long time no see. I am Hugo, the commander of the naval base here. I am here this time to ask questions."
Before he could finish his words, Gugas, who had already reached the gate, opened his eyes. He didn't look at Hugo at all, but said to Cullo: "A stranger."
These words made Kuro take a breath.
It sounded so intrusive. He didn't want to be a foreigner. That would be too scary.
If he hadn't been sure that it was the ability user's fault, he would have definitely turned around and left.
"Leave, it's still too late." Gugas said lightly.
"You really know something, can you tell me something?" Qrow said with a smile.
Gugas watched Kuro being silent for a while, then closed his eyes again, "Leave, the kingdom's internal affairs do not need the navy to intervene. We are atonement, no matter what happens, this is our sin."
"I really don't want to take care of your internal affairs."
Qrow smacked his lips, took out the book, and said: "But we also read this book, so if you can unlock this ability for us, I will leave right away."
Generally speaking, how could he be so positive, but the key was that what Absolon said made him unable to do anything. From the very beginning when he entered the port, everyone saw the plaque.
In other words, everyone was recruited.
"What bothers me the most is people with this kind of ability!" Qrow gritted his teeth, "You ask the person behind you to relieve me, and you can atone for your sins how you like."
Who knows what the conditions are for activating this ability, and what level it is at when faced with a group.
Absolun uses his ability to create illusions, isn't it just to make people see the book? If it can be activated after seeing it, this kind of BUG ability is extremely dangerous!
You've been tricked yourself and you let him go back?
There is no result today and the ashes will be scattered on you!
