Who opened the door deep in the hall of murals and came out? A Rampager or Beyonder creature that was nearby back then? Furthermore, he has the ability to move in dreams? After hearing Anderson Hood's recount, Klein made a logical guess.
As his thoughts raced, he suddenly had a new idea.
Could it be the owner of the mysterious eyes that had been watching the deck and me?
That's possible! If that mysterious person has really been lurking on the ship all this while and has entered these waters, he'll definitely fall asleep when night falls and appear in the World of Dreams … Ma 'am Hermit doesn't know of his existence at all, or has she tacitly approved of his actions? This is the trump card that allows her to accept my mission and not be afraid of the dangers here? No, I can't be sure. At the very least, I can't be sure that the person who opened the door deep in the hall of murals is the mysterious person on the ship … Klein looked deeply at Anderson.
He asked, "Why don't you think so?"
Anderson Hood had mentioned that he originally suspected that the person who opened the door was a member of the Future, but he later felt that it wasn't the case.
Anderson chuckled.
"I just visited everyone on the ship in a dream and discovered that none of them possess the ability to move freely in that World, apart from you."
"Unfortunately, I was pushing open the door from outside," Klein said calmly.
Anderson shrugged his shoulders.
"I know, so I didn't suspect you. This sea is filled with hidden dangers. There are all sorts of unimaginable monsters active. Perhaps the person who opened the door was the stone giant from before, or a rotting dragon that dreamed of countless treasures."
Having said that, he leaned to the railing of the ship and looked out at the sea that was blanketed in golden sunlight.
He smiled wistfully and said, "I discovered that after I escaped from the shipwreck crisis brought about by the storm, my bad luck was slowly dispelling. Haha, clearly, it's not fixed or permanent.
"Look, I successfully swam to that island. Although I encountered all sorts of bad luck, I managed to last until you arrived.
"Yes, I did attract the monster and made the stone giant appear, but didn't we easily finish it off?
"Also, I've been on the ship for hours, but nothing happened. Doesn't that mean …"
Before Anderson could finish his sentence, Klein coldly interrupted him.
"Shut up!"
Doesn't this fellow know to speak less when he's angry? I really want to hit him! If I hadn't divined that you didn't mutate above the gray fog and that you weren't possessed by a bigwig, I would've sunk you into the sea. Hmm … Sequence 8 of the Hunter pathway is Provoker. He must've easily digested that potion back then … Klein sincerely felt that Anderson was much better than Dhaniz when it came to provoking.
"Okay, okay, I'll shut up, shut up." Anderson raised his hands and smiled bitterly without any anger.
Seeing that he did not provide any more clues about the person who opened the door in the World of Dreams, Klein was silent for a few seconds before he suddenly turned around and walked into the cabin.
He realized that he had been negligent in one matter!
Since Anderson, who was shrouded in bad luck, had boarded the ship, it meant that the chances of encountering an attack would increase. Therefore, he needed to make some preparations!
After returning to his room, Klein took out the Aztec copper whistle and Will Auceptin's paper crane before entering the bathroom. He set up the ritual to summon himself and then brought Tinder, the Sun Brooch, and the Nightmare Beyonder characteristic from above the gray fog to the real World.
He didn't immediately change the items he carried with him. Instead, he placed them in his luggage and placed them beside the Biological Poison Bottle.
This way, even if danger were to suddenly arise, he would have the chance to adjust his "equipment" in time and make a targeted choice.
After doing all of this, Klein relaxed a lot. He packed the rest of his items and left the room to head for the deck, afraid that he would miss any traces of mermaids.
Just as he walked out of the cabin, he saw Frank Lee squatting beside him with a look of shock and confusion.
"What happened?" Klein's heart skipped a beat.
He was afraid that something had gone wrong with this crazy hybridist's experiment, causing everyone on the Future to fall into a terrifying ecological disaster.
Frank shook his head in a daze.
"Didn't I tell you about those tiny things?
"They originally needed to hibernate for a period of time before they could grow and reproduce, but in the end …"
"In the end?" Klein's expression turned heavy.
This made Strongest Hunter Anderson, who was bragging to the pirates on the deck about the number of pirates he had hunted, completely oblivious to the changes in the eyes of the listeners around him. He stopped his narration out of curiosity and came over.
Frank, who was squatting, looked up.
"They just completed a large-scale reproduction and even mutated.
"Th-this is a miracle!"
"And then? Where did they go? Are they still in your laboratory? "Klein instinctively felt that it wasn't a good thing.
Frank took two seconds to digest the question. He rolled up his sleeves and revealed his hairy arms.
He rapped the deck in front of him and revealed a puzzled smile.
"They entered this place and seem to be modifying the Future …"
Amidst the dull rapping, a milky-white fountain that looked like milk suddenly spewed out from the deck, splattering Frank Lee's head and face.
He licked the liquid by the corner of his mouth and exclaimed in pleasant surprise,
"The Future! The Future is producing milk!"
At the same time, the pirates by the side of the ship pointed at the cannons below in horror.
"The cannons! The cannons are spewing milk!"
This … This doesn't make sense … Klein nearly couldn't control the twitching of the corners of his mouth.
Ever since he boarded the Future, ever since the ship arrived at the fracture and began plummeting, he felt that many of the things that had happened were extremely unscientific. It even exceeded the limits of his mysticism knowledge.
Anderson was dumbfounded as he even forgot to ask a question. He stomped his feet out of habit and succeeded in seeing another milk fountain gush out.
Thoughts quickly flashed through Klein's mind as he acutely grasped a problem.
He immediately looked at Frank Lee and asked in a deep voice,
"After your tiny things infect the Future, will they continue infecting the people on board?"
As he asked the question, Klein's right palm had already reached into his pocket. Based on the different shapes, he picked out a Levitation Charm and prepared to fly into midair to distance himself from the infection.
Frank thought about it seriously and said,
"In theory, yes …"
Before he could finish his sentence, a figure leaped out and kicked him in the ass, sending him tumbling a few times as he slammed into puddles of milk.
The person was none other than Nina, who was wearing a linen shirt and a dark blue jacket.
She glared angrily at Frank Lee, who was sprawled on the deck.
She cursed as she breathed heavily, "Aren't you going to finish those darn tiny things of yours!?
"Do you think my breasts aren't big enough?"
"A-alright," Frank Lee patted his ass and said unhappily.
At this moment, Klein had already taken out a charm and chanted softly.
"Storm!"
He believed that he couldn't underestimate Frank Lee's ability to cause trouble. He suspected that Frank Lee would cause the disaster to worsen; therefore, he decided to fly into the air first.
Blue flames enveloped the charm made of tin as a strong wind instantly stirred. It swirled around Klein's feet and body, lifting him off the deck and into the air.
He was first taken aback before he reached out his palm in an attempt to grab Klein. However, he was a beat too slow and failed to succeed. All he could do was watch helplessly as the German Sparrow rose up while he remained in his spot.
This ordinary handsome hunter shook his head with a warped expression. He wanted to laugh, but he also wanted to dismember the first mate of the Future into eight pieces.
At this moment, Frank had already taken out a bottle of dark green powder and grabbed a handful. As he chanted an incantation in Jotun, he scattered it in every direction.
The moment the powder touched the deck, it immediately produced green vines that grew crazily. Soon, they absorbed the milk and the "tiny things," wrapping around the entire deck and cabin.
In about ten seconds, the Future had turned into a vine forest.
"Phew, it's done." Frank first smiled at Nina, then his expression changed abruptly. "They, they've mutated too!"
At this moment, a pirate walked over shakily and shouted in a frightened voice, "Captain, you're a pirate.
"I-I have a watermelon growing on my head!"
Klein looked in the direction of the voice and saw green vines boring out of the pirate's head. One of them had a watermelon that was about to ripen.
"This is the so-called mutation? This is crazy. Darn crazy! "Anderson sighed.
His eyes darted around as he said in a deep voice,
"There's something wrong with the nearby sea!"
In midair, Klein made the same judgment.
If there weren't any external interference, Frank Lee's experimental products and Beyonder powers wouldn't have mutated at the same time!
Rip!
The vines were torn apart as the window to the captain's cabin opened.
Admiral of Stars Cattleya appeared there and used a voice amplified by witchcraft to say, "That's right.
"Frank, stop all attempts.
"There might be remnants of Earth Mother's aura here."
Earth Mother? Klein looked at Ma 'am Hermit in surprise, feeling that his previous speculations regarding the battle of gods in these waters might be overturned!
"Oh, what a kind mother." Frank crossed his arms as though he was hugging a baby.
Following that, he sprawled down and piously kissed the vines.
Admiral of Stars Cattleya watched this scene in silence as resplendent starlight swirled around her, causing the entire Future to light up.
She curled her finger and flicked it gently, making a colorless flame land on the vines beside the captain's cabin window.
The vines were immediately ignited, silently turning to ashes.
The colorless flame silently spread and wreaked havoc, but it didn't harm a single sailor. And the light emitted by the Future helped it successfully withstand the flames.
Before long, the vine forest vanished, leaving only the watermelon that grew out of the pirate's head. Of course, the vines that connected it to the watermelon had already been burned to ashes.
"Phew, t-this is the descent of a devil!" The pirate from before took two steps forward and hugged the watermelon that grew out of his head.
"Don't open it!" Just as Admiral of Stars Cattleya's warning resounded, the pirate used brute force to open the watermelon, partly to vent his anger and partly out of curiosity.
The watermelon split into two, revealing a milky-white "brain" that was filled with ravines. Around it flowed bright red liquid that resembled blood.
With a plop, the pirate died without any room for rescue. The Beyonder characteristic on his body began to condense at an extraordinary speed.
How evil and crazy … Klein sighed inwardly as he prepared to land on the deck.
At this moment, he saw a gigantic palm suddenly reach out from beneath the surface of the sea, slapping the side of the Future.
The palm's five fingers were extremely long, nearly half a meter in length. Its entire body was grayish-black like a barren plain!
Klein silently hissed as he couldn't help but look at Anderson Hood.
This fellow had just said that nothing had happened since he boarded the ship!
