In Bujand's history of crossing the sea, there was only one incident that he couldn't let go of.
That time, his team had suffered a huge loss before they successfully took away the alchemical plant on the Darkness Continent — Metarion.
However, before they could be happy about leaving the Darkness Continent, they were met with a disaster.
The team members who were lucky enough to survive died one by one on the way back. In the end, even the Metarion that they had found with great difficulty withered and died.
None of the teammates who had fought side by side with him in the past survived. He had paid such a high price but didn't get anything in return. One could imagine how Bujand felt at that time.
However, Bujand wasn't defeated by this setback. He lay low for a long time, plotting in the dark until he gathered a group of capable teammates again. Only then did he appear in public and start a new round of march toward the Darkness Continent.
In the original exploration plan, obtaining the Metarion again was one of the segments.
Although many accidents happened during the exploration, Bujand didn't give up. That was because he would get up from where he fell.
However, fate played tricks on people. In the end, the team didn't find the Metarion. Instead, they found the [Repairer's Corpse] and the alchemical plant [Cameron].
It was because they had [Hope] that their crossing this time was a success. It was also unprecedented.
"Cameron's tenacity is incomparable to the Metarion. Therefore, the cultivation difficulty is very low. As long as there are enough nutrients, even the cultivation environment can be ignored."
"Could the nutrients be the stone …?"
The question and answer stopped abruptly. There was a sudden movement in the glass box. The thumping sound was like a heartbeat and also like the beating of a drum.
Hearing that sound, Bujand's eyes were filled with anticipation. Giles, Twice Cooked Pork, and the others were all paying close attention to the movement in the glass box.
"Gulp!"
Suddenly, the oil in the glass box was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The speed of the decrease was as if a big hole had been smashed in a certain part of the box. However, in reality, not only was the box intact, but the black pipe connected to it was also completely motionless.
Everyone was paying attention to the situation in the glass box in shock. After sorting out the situation, they thought of a possibility — the oil in the box was being absorbed by the Cameron.
In fact, the oil in the box was reduced by half in just ten seconds, revealing the mature Cameron.
The first thing that entered everyone's eyes were balls of holy and gentle white light.
Taking a closer look, he saw a bunch of fruits the size of a baby's fist. They looked like mulberries and grapes, and the sticky oil didn't leave any traces on the fruits.
There were a total of seven spots of light. They were quite far from each other, representing seven clusters of ripe Cameron fruits.
Below the ripe fruits were crisscrossing milky-white rhizomes that covered the entire bottom half of the glass box.
As the oil decreased, the milky white roots could be seen slowly wriggling.
In just half a minute, there was not a single bit of oil left in the box. Moreover, the box was so clean that it did not leave any stains. If he did not see it with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe that the box was filled with oil just a minute ago.
"This is … Cameron."
Twice Cooked Pork's eyes lit up. At this moment, his need for Cameron had reached its peak.
On the other hand, the others around him had similar reactions.
The fruit in front of them was a genuine hope from the Dark Continent, not a disaster that had been properly preserved for research!
This was the first time that they were so close to [Hope] and had the opportunity to enjoy the effects of [Hope].
Being reborn might mean that the body would never decay.
Giles stared at the Cameron fruit that was emitting holy light, his eyes flashing slightly.
The Ferry Administration sent out a team of telekinesis ability users, but they failed miserably and didn't bring back anything.
In the entire team, except for the half-dead Jim Carrey, Giles was the only one who survived.
However, Bujand brought back more than one hope with a small team. This made Giles think of Law's team.
Perhaps, so many failures in the history of the Ferry Administration might be because the team was too bloated …
"More than one hope, more than one hope … Hmm?"
Giles slowly muttered in his heart. Soon, the sudden conjecture in his heart cut through his excitement when he saw the Cameron fruit. It was like a basin of cold water that extinguished the burning fire in his heart.
He struggled to move his eyes away from the Cameron fruit and slowly looked at Bujand who was very calm compared to the others.
The more hope that was found, the more disasters that could be brought back.
Now, there were already more than five known disasters on the six continents, and the affected areas were even more unimaginable.
What kind of concept was this?
Gradually, Giles's gaze changed, and Bujand noticed it and tilted his head to meet Giles's gaze.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the research room changed.
.....
In another room in the underground base.
"Where is Kurli? I haven't seen her for several days. "
Usami, who was wearing a towel, pushed open the door and strode into the room. She raised her eyes to look at the kimono girl, Hatsumi, who was brewing tea. She glanced over and saw the robot girl, Mary, sitting in the corner of the room with her head lowered. She did not say a word, as if she was in a daze as usual.
On the sofa, Muuherr sat casually, took the tea that Hatsumi had just made, and took a sip. The tip of his tongue was infected by a sweet taste, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Hatsumi, you added sugar … in the tea?"
"No."
"Then this tea?"
"It is sweet."
Hatsumi explained.
"…"
Muuherr silently put down the teacup and turned to look at Graham not far away. His eyes stayed on the mottled rust on the steel body for a moment, and asked: "Graham, drink some sweet tea to relieve the pain."
"No."
Graham as usual made a mechanical voice that was neither male nor female.
"Hey, hey, don't ignore me."
Usame closed the door behind him and came to the sofa.
Hatsumi looked up at Usame and said softly: "Kurli is sick, and has been lying down for two days."
"Ah? Sick? "Usame was shocked and stuttered:" Could … could it be some kind of disaster … "
"You are thinking too much."
Hatsumi pressed the lid of the pot lightly, interrupting Usame's irresponsible guess, and then looked at Graham who was sitting quietly on the ground, and said lightly: "Kurli wanted to remove the 'rust' on Graham, but she failed. She might have suffered a backlash, which caused the problem in her body."
"Sorry, it's all because of me."
Graham's mechanical voice that contained a rare sense of apology came from within the steel body.
"There is no need to apologize, after all, no one knew that such a thing would happen, and it is Kurli's responsibility to remove her teammate's thoughts."
As the former captain of the mercenary team, Muuherr showed a rather obvious intention of protecting his young.
Usame shook his head slightly, turned to look at the rust on Graham's steel body, and wondered: "Graham, you said that the rust on your body was caused by overuse of your ability, how is it related to [Mind Removal]?"
"The rust … it hurts."
Graeme replied.
If Law was here, he would definitely see that Graham was suffering from the consequences of [Imagination Rampage].
