Wang Baole's body swayed, but before he could take more than a few steps, the paper man on the ship lifted its left hand, and a faint halo suddenly spread out. The instant the halo appeared … Wang Baole's body came to a stop, and his face fell. This was because he realized that his body … was no longer under his control!
It was as if he was being completely controlled by some strange power. It was controlling him. He turned around, and expressionlessly … walked toward the ship!
"What is this?!" Wang Baole's heart was filled with terror. He wanted to fight back, but it was useless. He could only watch as, like a puppet, he walked step by step … toward the Specter Ship!
It was a very strange sight!
In the starry sky was a ship that looked like a specter. It exuded an ancient air, and at the bow of the ship was a strange paper man. It waved expressionlessly. Behind it, in the cabins, the thirty-something young men and women could not hide the astonishment on their faces. They looked at Wang Baole, who was walking toward the ship like a puppet.
In truth, Wang Baole's repeated refusals, and the terror in his eyes as he walked toward the ship caused the thirty-something young men and women to instantly guess the answer.
"Xie Dalu's body is being controlled by force?"
"Could it be that after refusing to board the Fallen Star Ship so many times, the ferryman will control him by force?"
"I've never heard of such a thing …."
Amidst the astonishment of the crowd, they watched as Wang Baole neared the sampan. The fear in his eyes grew stronger and stronger. Wang Baole was on the verge of tears. His heart trembled, and he howled in agony.
"What is this?! I don't want to board the ship! This is too overbearing!!"
Wang Baole refused to board the ship. Even if the ship appeared again and again, he still refused. However, this time … things had changed beyond his control. He lost control of his body, and could only watch as the strange power controlled his body. When he got close to the ship, he leaped into the air and landed … on the ship.
However, unlike the other cabins, Wang Baole's body was controlled and landed at the bow of the ship. At this moment, his heart was in turmoil.
"So what if I'm on the boat? Why is my position different from the others?" Wang Baole's heart was filled with bitterness. Even now, he still couldn't control his own body. He couldn't even turn his head as he stood at the prow of the ship. He could only look out of the corner of his eye at the young men and women in the cabin, and all of them had strange expressions on their faces.
Obviously, those people had the same thoughts as him. They were also curious as to why Wang Baole was not in the cabin but at the bow of the ship after boarding …
However, what happened next was that the paper person at the prow of the ship did something. Although the answer was revealed, Wang Baole's mind was completely shaken, and boundless resentment and sullenness exploded out of his heart. As for the others … their eyes nearly popped out of their heads. There were even a few people who couldn't remain calm. They suddenly stood up cross-legged, expressions of disbelief on their faces. Clearly, a storm was raging in their hearts.
"What's going on?! Catch coolies? "
"Why … Why … Why?!"
"Could it be that the ferry envoy is tired??"
The young men and women couldn't be blamed for being unable to control the surging emotions in their hearts. Although they were all Chosen of their respective factions and had seen a lot, the scene that appeared in front of them now was too inconceivable. It was too different from the information they had obtained from their clans and sects in the past!
Before this, their hearts were filled with reverence for this ship. In their opinion, this Specter Spirit Ship was the envoy of a mysterious place, the only way to enter that legendary place. Therefore, after boarding the ship, all of them were very well-behaved and didn't dare to do anything that was too out of line.
At most, they had quarreled with Wang Baole, but they didn't dare to try to force their way off the ship. But now … in front of them, they actually saw the paper person who had been rowing the paper pulp along the way with an extremely solemn expression. Waves of coldness emanated from his body, and his cultivation level was unfathomable. He was an existence that didn't seem human. He was actually … handing the paper oar in his hand to Wang Baole!
They weren't the only ones whose hearts were buzzing. Wang Baole was also dumbfounded. He had thought of a few reasons why the paper person wanted him to board the ship, but he never expected it to be like this …
"You want me to row the ship?" While Wang Baole was a little confused, he also felt that this was a little inconceivable. However, he also felt that he had his own pride. As the future president of the Federation and the emperor of the Divine Eye civilization, it wasn't that he couldn't row the ship, but he couldn't be a coolie for the young men and women on the ship!
"I can't control my body, but I have a backbone. My heart refuses!" Wang Baole snorted in his heart. He flicked his sleeves and prepared himself to helplessly accept the paper oar while his body was being controlled. But … as he flicked his sleeves, Wang Baole's heart suddenly raced. He tried to look down at his hands. After moving them a little, he turned his head to look at his surroundings. Finally, he confirmed that … at some point in time, he had regained control of his body.
This made him feel a little awkward. After a while, he raised his head to look at the paper person who was still holding out the paper oar. Wang Baole immediately felt conflicted.
"This is too much. It's one thing for you to control me, but can't you just control my body and make me take the paper oar …" Wang Baole struggled. He originally planned to be a little more stubborn and reject the paper oar, but before he could do anything, the paper person's eyes flashed coldly. A terrifying aura emanated from its body.
This aura was so strong that it was like a sharp blade that was about to be unsheathed. It could slash the heavens and destroy the earth. Wang Baole instantly felt goosebumps all over his body. He felt a bone-chilling coldness from the inside out. Even the essence that formed this avatar seemed to be on the verge of freezing. It was sending a strong signal to him, as though it was telling him that death was imminent.
This caused cold sweat to break out on Wang Baole's forehead. There was no doubt that the paper person gave him an extremely bad feeling. It was as if he was facing a monstrous fiend. It was not much different from the paper person in his own storage ring. He had a feeling that if he did not take the paper oar, the paper person would attack him in the next instant.
At that moment, he was not the only one who felt this strongly. The young men and women in the cabin felt the same way. When they sensed the coldness from the paper person, they fell silent and stared at Wang Baole, waiting to see how he would deal with it. As for the people who had quarreled with him earlier, they were gloating over his misfortune, and their expressions were filled with anticipation.
Wang Baole did not have the energy to pay attention to their gazes. When he sensed the killing intent from the paper person in front of him, he took a deep breath. A gentle smile naturally appeared on his face, and he eagerly took the paper oar.
"Senior, you should have said so earlier. I love to row boats. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. Senior, if you had asked me to row the boat earlier, I definitely would not have refused. I love to row boats. It's been my favorite since I was young."
With that, Wang Baole put on what he believed to be his most sincere smile. He stood at the bow of the boat with the paper oar in hand and rowed vigorously to the side. The smile on his face did not change, and he even turned his head to look at the paper person.
"Senior, please take a rest first. Do you think my movements are standard?" Wang Baole's face did not show any signs of disharmony, but in reality, he was already sighing in his heart. However, he was very good at comforting himself …
"I'm just adapting to the circumstances. I'm just sharing joy with the people. It's just rowing a boat. It's hard to refuse someone's kindness, so he asked me to lend him a hand when he's tired. I'm just taking pleasure in helping others!"
With this thought in mind, the coldness on the paper person's body quickly dissipated. At that moment, the young men and women on the boat all had strange expressions. Many of them revealed looks of disdain. As for Wang Baole, he tried his best to extend the paper oar in his hand into the starry sky outside the boat. He swung it back and rowed for the first time.
However, the instant Wang Baole's paper oar made its first stroke, the smile on his face suddenly froze. His eyes widened, and he gasped. He immediately turned his head to look at the starry sky outside his paper oar.
There … was nothing there. However, Wang Baole clearly felt that the paper oar in his hand seemed to encounter a huge resistance when he rowed. He needed to use all his strength to barely move it. And as he rowed, a gentle force gathered from the starry sky!
