It was evening when he returned to the Grand Ocean Hotel. Although the third wizard worm that he hunted was different from what he expected, the Crocodragon's extraordinary power and potential made Zhang Lisheng satisfied without any regrets.
He washed up in the guest room in a relaxed manner and changed into clean clothes. He then called his mother. After confirming that he would be flying back to New York the next morning, he carried his backpack and walked to the hotel's restaurant slowly. He wanted to reward himself.
The Grand Ocean Hotel's restaurant had the same style as the hotel. It was also famous for seafood and Tatetutu's unique jungle delicacies.
Zhang Lisheng walked into the restaurant and did not ask for a seat. Instead, he walked directly to a single table by the window and took out a ten dollar bill. He waved it and said to the waiter closest to him with a smile while pointing at the table, "May I know if this table is occupied?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment. He looked around and walked to Zhang Lisheng quickly. He took out the menu and said, "You can sit here. What would you like to order, sir?"
Zhang Lisheng smiled in satisfaction. He casually put the bill on the menu as a tip and passed it back to the waiter. "Lobster set meal, the one with lots of worms and black sauce.
Also, I'd like a glass of Coke and a plate of fried dumplings. "
"Jungle lobster set meal, you really have a unique taste in food. Please wait for a moment."
The waiter retreated after ordering. Zhang Lisheng began looking around in interest. He was checking out the unique decorations in the restaurant.
He had been troubled since he came to Tatetutu for close to a month. He could finally relax tonight.
Unfortunately, Zhang Lisheng only managed to relax for three to five minutes when a polite native old man wearing a neat woolen suit walked into the restaurant with a tall white follower, disturbing Zhang Lisheng's peace.
"Good evening, Mr. Zhang Lisheng. Do you remember me?" The native old man walked straight to Zhang Lisheng's table and said.
"Tubalin, how could I forget you? You're from Tatetutu who has a double doctorate and is good friends with the two famous professors, Stephen Hawking and Asa Marton.
I didn't expect to bump into you here, what a coincidence. "
"It's not a coincidence, I'm here to look for you. Can I have a seat?"
Zhang Lisheng touched the backpack on his back after hearing what Tubalin said. "Please take a seat."
Hearing what the young man said, Tubalin did the same thing as him. He touched his sleeve and the Caucasian servant he brought along brought a wooden chair from another table for him.
Only then did Zhang Lisheng notice the white lackey. He realized that although the smile on his face was amiable, it did not change even after a long time. It looked like it was drawn with a brush when he looked at it for a long time.
"Tara Wuu is one of the most delicate dolls that I've made. I've taken the liberty to bring my work here to meet a witch doctor with unlimited potential," Tubalin said with a smile when he saw Zhang Lisheng looking at his follower. "Your backpack must have a doll masterpiece in it too, right?
If I'm not wrong, the invisible black dragon and the Great Mountain Toad are inside, right? "
"What?" Zhang Lisheng's pupils shrunk.
"Don't be nervous, young man. I said that because I saw your amazing hunt in my tribe. I don't mean any harm."
Zhang Lisheng had only killed once with Mountoad and Island Dragon in the cannibal tribe since he came to the Amazon. However, he had searched the entire tribe and only left a bunch of babies alive.
He thought about it and asked all of a sudden, "Do you have the superpower to look back into time?"
"No, no," Tubalin said while laughing out loud, "That's not a witch doctor's ability.
I've only installed a small generator in the tribe's ditch and a few cameras in the thorn forest.
Unfortunately, I only managed to see the first half of your amazing hunt and the cameras stopped working … "
"Cameras!
Sh * t, it's so creative to install such things in the cannibal tribe. Moreover, I have mud all over my face but you can recognize it. You've got great eyesight too.
So, Mr. Tubalin, are you here to seek revenge for your tribe? "
"No, no, I've achieved my goal. Those tribes have lost most of their functions.
I'm here to talk to you, young witch doctor. "
"What do we have to talk about?"
"Don't you think our backgrounds are similar? We're both born in the country that was oppressed by the so-called western civilized countries.
We came to the western country when we were young.
We love science and fear it deep down in our hearts.
We have the power of darkness.
Most importantly, we don't fear life at all … "
Zhang Lisheng fell into silence for a while. "Mr. Tubalin, the first similarity that you mentioned is wrong. My country is powerful."
"However, wasn't China invaded decades ago? Wasn't it a semi-colony of the western countries 100 years ago?"
Zhang Lisheng had nothing to say to what Tubalin said. Coincidentally, the waiter served dinner at that moment, so he began eating without saying anything.
"Fortunately, your country has gathered the unity of civilization for the past thousands of years while my country doesn't …" Tubalin said without stopping.
"Fortunately?" Zhang Lisheng put down his fork. "Mr. Tubalin, China has existed for 6,000 years. Throughout the 6,000 years, we've been the most powerful and wealthy country in the world most of the time. It's natural for us to be revived after suffering a disaster.
As for Tatetutu, I don't mean to offend you but Tatetutu has just been established. I don't know the exact time since it was established but I think it's been less than 100 years … "
"So, you think Tatetutu can't be compared to China?" Black flames appeared in Tubalin's eyes. He touched his sleeve and squeezed his voice out from the gap of his teeth.
At this moment, the Caucasian follower who had been standing beside him turned to Zhang Lisheng with the same smile on his face. Zhang Lisheng suddenly felt that this man who looked harmless just now with a weird expression had suddenly turned into a ferocious beast that had been sewn into a human skin bag. It was chilling.
He chanted witchcraft incantation almost instinctively. However, the flames in Tubalin's eyes were extinguished all of a sudden just when Mountoad was going to jump out of his backpack. "As victims, we shouldn't be hostile to each other.
At the very least, we shouldn't be hostile to each other now.
Young man, you might not believe this but us Tatetutu people that you look down on used to be the descendants that the gods loved the most.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, the women of Tatetutu would pray to the gods in the sky if they wanted to give birth to life. They would give birth to the gods that were reincarnated when the gods responded!
The name Tatetutu symbolized the entire American continent back then. The American continent that was stolen by the white people and their accomplices …
"That nation has all these strange myths and stories.
Mr. Tubalin, what exactly are you trying to tell me? Don't tell me that you Tatetutu people are going to rise because of the gods' glory? "
"Of course not, the gods are long gone. It's impossible for my compatriots who are fighting so hard to work in a hotel run by foreigners to regain the glory of our ancestors.
The only thing I can do is to try to destroy the civilization of the entire world so that everyone can return to the same starting line again.
Moreover, I happened to live past the 21st of December 2012 to have this opportunity, "Tubalin said casually calmly.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, I'm actually here to talk to a young man that I think is very similar to me. People love to do boring things when they're proud, don't they?
Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Zhang Lisheng.
The bookmarks will be inserted into reality one by one ten years later, maybe tomorrow. I hope that you'll be lucky when the book is laid out. Goodbye, "Tubalin stood up as he spoke. He left just like how he came out of nowhere.
When Tubalin said his last sentence before he left, a bolt of lightning happened to flash across Rukututu's night sky outside the window. Zhang Lisheng felt his heart clench all of a sudden as he shuddered. Goosebumps rose all over his body even though it was not cold.
He realized that Tubalin had walked far away when he looked at him again. At that moment, Zhang Lisheng had the urge to grab the old man and ask him about it.
However, his cautious character prevailed at the critical moment. Zhang Lisheng watched Tubalin's silhouette disappear quietly. He could not stop fiddling with the jelly stone on his wrist, stretching it out and flattening it by instinct.
He thought about it for a long time but to no avail. Eventually, he mumbled in annoyance, "Sure enough, a person who's too smart might turn into a lunatic." He wrapped the jelly stone on his wrist and proceeded to eat his delicious lobster meal without thinking about it anymore.
After dinner, Zhang Lisheng cultivated the secret method for the night. He bought a beef burger at the hotel restaurant the next morning and bought the GPS device that he had been using at the front desk while eating. He then rented a limousine and rushed to Rukututu Airport.
Looking from the outside, Rukututu Airport was similar to Tuikano Airport. It was a two-story building with a mottled outer wall and covered in moss. However, there were many more planes on the runway compared to Tatetutu Capital Airport.
Finally, Zhang Lisheng could not take a taxi to get through the customs this time. He realized that the floor and walls were covered with moisture-proof white tiles when he walked into the airport lounge. There was a beautiful jungle scenery painted on the ceiling next to the huge ceiling lamp. It did not look as bad as it looked.
The plane took off at 9.20 am. It was only around 8 am when Zhang Lisheng walked into the lounge. However, there was already a broadcast notification that the American Airlines UT-0098 flying to New York was ready to board.
He was a little puzzled that he would board the plane so early. However, since the airport had given him the instruction, of course, he could only follow the instruction.
The process of collecting his ticket and boarding pass was smooth. However, Zhang Lisheng was troubled by an airport security officer who wore a green uniform. His body size was rare in tropical countries.
