"You came to the Old Earth to look for me?" Angor was puzzled. "How do you know I'm here?"
"There are many ways to know where you are, mister. But each of them might make you feel uncomfortable, so please allow me to keep it a secret for now. "King bowed to Angor in a very gentlemanly manner.
Angor gave King a strange look. He didn't expect King to be so honest about the unhonorable way of looking for him.
If it were someone else, Angor might think highly of them. But when it came from King, he didn't feel anything at all. Somehow, Angor felt that King was someone who didn't seem to be what he really was.
While observing his surroundings, he also kept an eye on his surroundings.
This natural cave was equipped with several lighting devices, so that it wasn't dark inside. The cave was huge. There was a bottomless pool behind King, which was also equipped with all kinds of experiment equipment. Most of them were glass cabins standing on the ground.
At a glance, there were at least close to a hundred glass cabins. It was a majestic sight to behold.
There was a glass cabin right next to Angor. The walls of the cabin were covered by a layer of white mist, which prevented Angor from seeing what was inside. He could only see a faint shadow inside.
Angor reached out a hand and wiped the mist away, revealing a ghastly pale head inside the cabin.
Inside it was a naked human corpse.
Angor frowned. He didn't really care about dead people, but it was strange that someone was kept inside a glass cabin in a liquid that wouldn't rot.
If all the cabins here contained human corpses, they either belonged to a special class or had a special hobby. Angor glanced at King with an unreadable expression.
"These are the bad guys who attacked Mister King. They're not innocent," said the woman in red. She had been standing next to Angor all this time, so she noticed Angor's strange expression. "Mister King is a nice guy. He won't kill people on purpose."
Angor didn't really care whether Kim was good or bad. "These are all glass cabins used for experiments. Do you study human subjects as well?"
Gold smiled and said, "Yes, humans are such pitiful creatures. I am researching how to destroy all humans."
Angor's expression did not change, but the woman's expression darkened.
Jin Shili changed the topic. "Of course, I'm just joking. I'm also a human. Isn't it suicide for me to research ways to kill humans? How is that possible? "
Pausing, King looked at the woman in red. "Yin Xing, it's time for you to return to your original body. Living beings can easily become undead if they make any mistakes outside."
The red-clothed woman called Silver Star hesitated for a moment. "But …"
"I know what you intend to do with your soul."
"However, you have to understand that human's unnecessary curiosity is the original sin. If they can't restrain their curiosity and insist on breaking into my laboratory, then they deserve to die. If you scare them away, you'll only make them more curious. " King pointed at Angor. "Besides, you're an esteemed guest. Don't you think it's rude to use your soul mask?"
Silver Star considered for a moment and gave in helplessly. "Alright then."
Next, Silver Star turned into a streak of red light and disappeared into the pool behind King.
King snapped his fingers and pointed at a table beside the pool. "Since you're here, you must have something to discuss with me. Speaking of which, I have something to discuss with you as well. Why don't we sit down? "
As soon as Angor sat down, ripples suddenly appeared in the center of the pool.
Below the ripples, a dark shadow could be seen rising and expanding rapidly. When the ripples reached their peak, a vertical eye with a glowing green light rose from the center of the pool.
It was a slender snake with a triangular head. Poisonous green mist was spreading around its fangs.
Before the ripples ended, more and more snakes rose from the water. Each of them had a pair of glowing green eyes that sent chills down one's spine.
When Angor heard the sound of breathing, a perfect face emerged from the water.
It was an extremely beautiful woman. She wore no clothes on her upper body except for two black snake scales. Her lower body was the tail of a sea snake with red, circular patterns.
What surprised Angor the most was that the woman's hair was the same as the snakes that first emerged from the water.
"Snake-Haired Siren …" Angor muttered.
"Silver Star's true form is a Snake-Haired Siren. Cute, right?" King smiled and stroked Silver Star's hair. The snakes coiled around King's arm looked rather creepy to those who were afraid of snakes.
Angor noticed that King was still smiling like before. But this time, he could feel the sincerity coming from King's heart.
He must really like Silver Star.
Angor's lips curled up. He found this scene very interesting.
From the conversation between Silver Star and King, Angor could tell that Silver Star was very protective of humans. She even disguised herself as a ghost to prevent humans from entering King's lab.
But King was different. Ever since Angor came here, he noticed something strange about King. King always smiled at Angor, but he could not hide the disgust in King's eyes.
At first, he didn't know why Gold disliked him. But after listening to Gold's explanation, he finally understood.
King did not just hate him. He hated humans as a whole. Even though King himself was a human, his words were full of disdain for humans.
It was worth mentioning that the Snake-Haired Siren fed on humans. In other words, humans were part of the Snake-Haired Siren's diet. Silver Star's true form was a Snake-Haired Siren, but she was very protective of humans.
On the other hand, King himself was a human, but he hated humans.
Gold and silver stars were supposed to be positive and negative in nature. They were two completely different extremes. But now, although they were at two extremes, the positives and negatives were reversed. The Snake-Haired Siren did not hate humans, while the Snake-Haired Siren began to hate humans.
More interestingly, Gold and Silver Star seemed to like each other.
There must be something interesting going on between them.
Angor recalled a story Jon told him about Earth. It was a tragic love story between a snake and a human.
As Angor pondered, Silver Star crawled out of the pool. She was half-human and half-snake, but she was very agile. She quickly made a cup of tea for Angor and King.
"Enjoy, my dear guest," Silver Star lowered her head and said.
After serving the tea, Silver Star sat down behind King with her snake tail dangling in the pool. It seemed that Silver Star became a little shy after turning into her true form. She did not want to look anyone in the eyes.
Angor was curious about the story between Silver Star and King, but he was here for something else. He put aside his curiosity and talked to King about something important.
"I heard you're looking for energy ripples at the Old Earth. You're looking for me?"
"Yes." King nodded. "There aren't many people who know I'm looking for energy ripples at the Old Earth. You also know that I'm staying here. Maybe Faye and Henry told you? Let me think. They went to Grue Town about a week ago. "
"So Grue Town's Padt Manor is your home, sir?"
Angor already knew Gold would find out about Padt Manor when he came here. "Why?" Angor's expression didn't change at all. "Why? What do you want from me? "
"If I'm the one who comes to you, I'll tell you my purpose first. Since you're the one who came to me first, may I know why you're looking for me? "
Angor gave King a meaningful look. "Faye told me that you're familiar with the crew of the Pulsatilla?"
King nodded. "Yes. They're perfect research subjects for me."
As soon as King said that, he heard the sound of water splashing from the pool behind him. It was Silver Star slapping the surface of the water with his tail in dissatisfaction.
Gold's expression did not change as he said, "That was just a joke."
"So Faye and Henry are your research subjects too?"
"Of course. But Silver Star seems to like Faye's snakes, so I had no choice but to let them go." King shrugged and showed a helpless look.
Not long ago, when Thewis was questioning Faye, Faye's mind was under Thewis' control, but she still looked angry when she mentioned King's name. Angor assumed that King and Faye had some kind of grudge against each other. Considering how much King hated humans, Faye might really be his target. But in the end, King let them go because of Silver Star.
"I'm here because I want to know who's on the Pulsatilla."
King narrowed his eyes. "That's why you're here, sir?"
"Correct." Angor nodded. "It's fine if you don't want to tell me. I'm sure the White Clam Shipping Company has some information about them."
King chuckled. "Yes, they do. But I don't think they can figure out who you're looking for, can they? Besides, do you think they'll have any information if they try to hide or sneak onto the ship? "
"So you know who I'm looking for?"
King said in an unfathomable tone, "Let me guess."
"You're looking for … someone who's related to the Goman Kingdom?"
