Just when West didn't know how to deal with his mother, he saw the chef Planck waving to him in the distance, and he was relieved. "Well, my lord, my friend is calling me, so I..."

"Go, go, you are an adult now, you should have your own friends, remember to come back early."

"Well! I must be back before 10 o'clock in the evening." West rushed towards the chef as if he was running away.

"Plank, thank you for helping me out."

"What's the matter? Everyone is drinking at the anchor bar. Do you want to come?"

"Come! Of course I will!"

West followed Planck to the lively Anchor Bar, sat on a wooden stool and drank a glass of cold beer, feeling very comfortable.

Surrounding the round wooden table in front of him were his companions, all of whom were sailors of the Narwhal and the kitchen helpers who joined later.

A sailor named Buck put down the wine glass in his hand and said in a low voice, "Hey, do you know the news?"

"What news? The news of the captain's blindness?"

"Is that considered news? The news I'm talking about is that the chief engineer is dead, and the current chief engineer will become the new chief engineer, so there will be a vacancy in the engine room. I overheard the first officer discussing with the second officer. Choose one of these people to join the turbo team."

"Don't the captain recruit directly from the pier?" West's face was full of curiosity to join in the fun.

"A place like the turbine cabin is the heart of the entire ship. Of course, our own people are the priority. To recruit is to recruit new sailors. I can tell you that the salary of the turbine crew is twice that of our deck crew."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of West, who had been indifferent just now, suddenly lit up. Technical jobs are just different.

Another sailor next to him slapped the table vigorously, hiccupped and said: "Don't think about that, I guess it won't be long before our ship goes to sea. Didn't you hear what the captain said? He has found the land of light." If it is exported, the Narwhal may be decommissioned."

"Another bright place? Do you believe it? I don't believe it. Anyway, I will go to sea four times at most, so I will quit. I will use the money I saved to buy two houses, and I will rent out one house and live in the other. Come on, I want to enjoy a peaceful life." After the bearded sailor finished speaking, he picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

West's thoughts gradually diverged, and he thought imaginatively: "Oh, you say, is what the captain said true? Is there really such a place? An island bigger than the ocean, how can the people who live in the center of the island Is it true that you will never be able to eat fish for the rest of your life?"

"When Lily was playing with the black mirror, I took a sneak peek at the side. Many of the paintings in it were the same as the real ones. I believe the captain would not brag. He is not such a person, and the captain did not say that he is the light people from the land?"

"If I were the captain, I wouldn't be bothered to go to sea. Where could there be a better life than being a governor?"

As the crew chatted, time passed, and the small sunlight hole on the shed was re-blocked by the islanders, and the night of Hope Island fell.

In the Governor's Mansion, Charles lay peacefully on the bed and fell asleep. He suddenly woke up in the darkness. With his instinctive sixth sense, he felt that someone was staring at him.

When he felt that gaze getting closer and closer to him, his muscles tensed suddenly, and the black blade popped out directly, pounced on it like a cheetah.

With a sound of "Puff", the black blade sank into the opponent's body, and Charles' tentacles directly entangled his limbs.

As soon as the tentacles came into contact with the other party, he realized that the other party was a very petite little man, who looked like a three-year-old child.

However, Charles did not relax his vigilance. An ordinary three-year-old child would not break through the heavy blockade of the Governor's Mansion and suddenly appear in his bedroom.

Charles' face was full of ferocity, and the black blade in his hand sank another point. "Say! Who are you! Who sent you here!"

"Win... Wink." A childish voice sounded, making Charles' body stiff.

Charles tremblingly stretched out his hand to touch this man's face, but touched the head of an immature little girl.

"Sparkling? Is it really you? Why do you look like this?"

"Of course, it doesn't matter whose daughter it is. My Anna's daughter's transformation is as simple as breathing. How about it? Is your daughter cute like this? I made her look like this on purpose. Oh, yes, I guess you can’t even see it now, you’re blind.”

Charles turned his head anxiously to the direction of the voice and said, "You are here, why didn't you say it sooner, Winky is hurt!"

"Don't worry, scumbag, your little broken knife really can't hurt our daughter, she's amazing." Anna walked up to Shining, pulled out the knife indifferently, and stuffed it back into Charles's hand inside.

Carefully touching his daughter's abdomen, Charles breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the wound disappeared in an instant.

While touching his daughter's head, Charles said to the side, "Why are you here?"

"Look at how blind you are, yet you still ask me why I came here. I really admire you." There was some disgust in Anna's voice.

Charles didn't care about the tone of the other party at all. Anna was like this, and he couldn't wait to share the fruits of his adventure.

Reaching out to touch the coat on the side, he took out the chart from inside, and said with a hint of excitement in his voice: "Look, I found the surface exit."

A slender and soft arm stretched out from behind Charles, gently pinching the piece of paper.

"Really? It won't be the same as the gap on Hope Island, it's another fake." Anna's soft voice was full of hesitation.

"No, this place is very likely to be on the surface. The foundation has sent people to the surface before. They always have an exit to connect with the surface."

Anna looked at the man in front of him complicatedly, then patted his shoulder with her hand, "Call me when you go up. I will go up with you."

"Of course, of course you want to come together, that's the world we used to live in." There was a trace of excitement on Charles' face.

Anna stroked her forehead with the back of her hand and expressed helplessness, "What, I'm worried that if the surface doesn't meet your expectations, you might go crazy again."

The smile on Charles' face froze, then slowly closed. He gently stroked his daughter's head with his hand, and muttered to himself: "No, never again, even if the surface of the earth is destroyed, I won't go crazy. If that's the case, I will go crazy." Go back to Hope Island and be my Lord Governor with peace of mind. When the time comes, I will take you all over, and we will live a peaceful life together, and we will never run around again."
