Phantom of the Pirate

"Can you tell me what's going on with this island? Why can't I use my abilities when I'm near the center of the island?" On the way back, Locke asked Xue Xiaoyan.

After seeing Annie, Locke didn't worry too much. Although Annie was still in the monkey's hand, at least he could be sure that he didn't fly out of the island and fall into the sea.

Even if Annie can't wake up now, at least she can be sure that she is safe. Even if the monkey destroys the doll, it won't do any harm to Annie who is originally in the form of a soul.

Hearing Locke's question, Xue Xiaoyan could only shake her head. She didn't really understand what was going on. She only knew that when she was very young, the adults in the village always warned the children like this, called They don't come near the center of the island.

As for why, the old people in the village have not said anything.

After seeing Xue Xiaoyan shaking his head, Locke also knew that she really couldn't get the answer. It seems that only the old people in the village returned, hoping to get the answer.

On the way back, the two of Locke didn't encounter any accidents, and quickly returned to the village according to the way they came.

It happened to be noon when we went back, and during lunch time, people in the village who were farming outside went home to cook one after another, and green smoke rose from every house.

Xue Xiaoyan took Locke to the largest house in the village, and Xue Xiaoyan knocked on the door.

"Is Grandpa Qin there?"

Not long after Xue Xiaoyan knocked on the door, an old man with a stooped figure and wrinkled face came out of the room, holding a cigarette rod in his hand, smoking while walking, and walked out.

"It's Xiaoyan! How come you are free today, come to your Grandpa Qin?" After seeing Xue Xiaoyan standing at the door, the old man said with a hoarse accent unique to the elderly.

"Grandpa Qin is not looking for you this time, but he is looking for you to ask something." Xue Xiaoyan pointed to Locke and said.

"Hello, Grandpa Qin!" Locke said politely.

"Not bad, not bad, a very energetic young man!" Grandpa Qin looked Locke up and down, and praised him while looking at him.

"Where! Where! Grandpa Qin, you are always strong!"

"Hahaha! Young man can talk, old man, I care about you!" Hearing Locke say that he is growing stronger, Grandpa Qin said with a big smile.

Hearing the old man's praise, Locke smiled a little embarrassedly, feeling that the old man was very enthusiastic, but the old man's words were full of Northeast big kidney flavor.

"Tell me! What does the young man want to ask the old man of me?" After being polite with Locke for a while, the old man Qin asked Locke.

"Grandpa Qin, I just want to ask you what's going on on this island. Why do I feel a force suppressing me as soon as I approach the center of the island?" Locke asked the question in his heart.

"You ask this!"

Hearing Locke's question, old man Qin paused, and then said: "This question starts with the origin of this island, which happened about 1000 years ago."

"It's time for you, this island has not become like this, and it is no different from other islands in the sea."

"But one day, a sword suddenly flew from the sky and landed directly in the middle of the island."

"After the sword fell, the young people in the village went to check it one after another, and found that the sword looked ordinary, but if anyone touched it, they would be killed by the breath in the sword."

"After discovering this, the center of the island slowly became a forbidden area."

Maybe it was because he was tired of talking, old man Qin stopped, picked up the cigarette stick at hand and took a big puff.

"Grandpa Qin, what happened next? What happened, why did the island become like this." Before Locke opened his mouth, Xue Xiaoyan asked more urgently than Locke.

Old man Qin waved his hands and said, "Don't worry! Wait for the old man to take a puff of cigarette and talk!"

"Grandpa Qin, hurry up!" Xue Xiaoyan took old man Qin's arm and acted like a baby.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Don't shake it, your grandpa and my bones are about to be shaken apart by you!" Old man Qin said helplessly, but from his tone, he could still hear his pet. Drowning.

On the way here, Xue Xiaoyan told Locke that old man Qin is the oldest old man in the village, and he usually takes good care of their siblings.

But now seeing Xue Xiaoyan showing such a childish posture in front of old man Qin, Locke was still very surprised.

When I first saw Xue Xiaoyan, she gave people the impression of a dignified and elegant intellectual beauty. At that time, Locke was still surprised that there was such a girl in the world of pirates. It was really rare.

But after getting to know her, I realized that she is simply a younger brother. Now seeing her like this again, Locke breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, how could there be intellectual beauties among the pirates? What I saw before was indeed an illusion.

Just when Locke was surprised by Xue Xiaoyan's appearance, old man Qin knocked on the ground with a cigarette stick and continued talking.

"After the sword was inserted there, the animals and plants on the island began to slowly turn red, and the skin of the residents on our island also began to turn red!"

"At the beginning, the people in the village felt very scared, but after a while, they found that this change would not hurt the people in the village. Over time, the villagers stopped paying attention to it."

"This change continued for 100 years, until after everything on the island turned red, the sword began to vibrate strangely."

"It was this vibration that caused the entire island to break away from the original world and appear in this strange space."

"After that, the villagers were all affected by the aura emitted by the sword, and began to experience symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and coma. After these symptoms appeared, the villagers were ready to give up their things on this island and change to another island. live."

"But it wasn't until this time that the villagers realized that they had been trapped on this island and couldn't get out."

"Afterwards, the headaches and dizziness of the villagers became more and more serious. Just when everyone was about to despair, they discovered that a kind of round beads appeared in the plants on this island."

"As long as you hold the beads, the symptoms of the villagers will disappear, so everyone will not be affected by the sword with the beads, and you can continue to live on this island, but you still can't get too close to the sword in the middle of the island , otherwise the effect of the beads will disappear."

"Can't go out?" When Locke heard what old man Qin said, his whole body was in a bad mood.

What happened to him when he fell to the ground after going out to sea? Why did he always meet this kind of island? Originally, everyone was happy to fly to the new world on the Phantom, but they didn't expect to meet this kind of island that they said they couldn't go out of.
