It was dark, deep, and eerie!
Walking in it, all the hairs on his body were shivering. Deep in the whirlpool, an underground maze suddenly appeared in front of him. It was Inago's first time in the Mother's Nest, and he felt a little confused. It was as if the entire desert had been hollowed out, and it made his heart palpitate for no reason, especially when there were some ghostly shadows flashing by in the strange maze.
He only caught a glimpse of a blurry figure, but it was horrifying to see that it didn't look like a human's body. There were creatures crawling with tails, creatures with two heads, creatures with multiple arms, creatures covered in scales … It made Inago wonder if what he saw was an illusion, or if he had barged into a monster's paradise.
"The location of this maze should be under the Naval Branch Base. So, what is Yarlin's identity?" Inago had countless questions in his mind.
Unlike him, William was relatively calm. He was a man who had seen the Beehive under the Marine's 153rd branch, even though this underground nest seemed to be even more terrifying.
"You were the one who stole the Golden Lion Shiki's body?" Gana, who was leading the way, turned his head and stared at William with his crystal clear eyes. Although it was a question, his tone was firm.
"I killed him!" William corrected him. He didn't like Gana's gaze. His dead fish eyes didn't look like he was looking at a living person, but more like he was looking at a collection of human bodies.
"What's wrong with this guy? He's giving me a very sick and dangerous feeling. " William observed the surging sand walls around him, and felt that the path ahead was getting narrower. They should be out of the maze soon.
One nest might be a creation of nature, but if there were two, then Crowe was right. This underground nest … could only be created by Yarlin out of thin air.
To a certain extent, hollowing out an entire desert and supporting it was even more difficult than lifting an island into the air and hanging in the clouds.
"No wonder Yarlin could give me the Yin Piaopo Fruit so generously. Is it because he has an even stranger and stronger fruit?" William knew that Yarlin's ability was to manipulate corpses and play with the boundary between life and death. There was also that black thread, and now this underground space … William really didn't know what kind of devil fruit could do all this.
The more he knew, the more unfathomable the fog shrouding Yarlin felt. This was also why William did not dare to go against Yarlin's will after inheriting the Golden Lion Shiki's power.
Ants did not understand the terror of the abyss. William, who had once been an ant, only felt fear, but he did not truly understand how terrifying Yarlin was. Now that he had finally stepped into the ranks of lions, he truly understood what it was like to be in the abyss.
Of course, no matter how hard William racked his brains, he would never guess that Yarlin, strictly speaking, had only swallowed half of the Devil Fruit.
"I don't mean any harm. I'm just asking. Are the Golden Lion Shiki's eyes beautiful?" Gana walked out of the maze and stopped. He stared at William with a serious face. His white eyes sparkled with cold light. "Are they as beautiful as my eyes?"
"Is this guy crazy?" William was stunned. He glanced at Gana and saw that the suddenly open space was divided into several areas.
William's gaze pierced through and scanned the place. He saw dense black coffins that were the same as the beehive opening and closing strangely. He could also see some figures in navy uniforms walking around inside. There were also two or three guys in white coats who were conducting some kind of experiment.
Yarlin was standing next to the guy in the white coat. Their eyes met, and his calm and deep eyes seemed to hide the gaze from the abyss.
"You haven't answered my question!" Gana blocked William's way and asked.
"If you like, you can go to the East Sea and ask Crowe for it. The body is in his hands, and the eyes are still intact!" William did not want to answer, but he suddenly thought of something. He smiled mysteriously and answered.
Gana thoughtfully stepped aside and walked towards a space on the side. William subconsciously glanced at the space, and his pupils suddenly shrank. He saw ten pools that had been created.
Each pool was round with a radius of about four meters. They were arranged in a row. The pool was filled with a white, viscous liquid. The liquid seemed to be boiling, and it turned into a thin mist that covered the figures inside. The figures inhaled the mist through their noses and mouths, and there were also black needles inserted into their blood vessels.
Some of the pools were occupied while others were empty. When William saw Gana, he walked back to one of the pools and sat down. The pitch-black needles were inserted into his skin and muscles. He smiled comfortably and slowly closed his eyes.
Every pool with people exuded an aura similar to Gana's. They all gave William a feeling of terror, strangeness, and danger.
Terror, strangeness, and danger. These were also the labels on Yarlin.
"Ten pools. That means Arlen has ten of these dangerous fellows under his command!" William looked away and was shocked. "No, I don't think there are ten of them. There are at least ten of them!"
"Yarlin!" William walked towards Yarlin. He stepped aside and said to Dr. Indigo, "This is Dr. Indigo. I brought him here."
"The one who developed the Green Poison?" Adams stopped his experiment. His electronic eyes lit up as he looked at Dr. Indigo. He interrupted, "It's the poison of that plant. I named it the Green Poison. It's a genius creation."
Dr. Indigo was stunned. He looked at Yarlin, who was obviously the boss behind the scenes. Then he looked at Adams, who was transformed into a half-human, half-machine. This was obviously a mad scientist … Well, he didn't know how to continue the conversation. Of course, the latter gave him a more amiable feeling.
"Adams, show Dr. Indigo around the laboratory where he will work in the future." Yarlin said considerately. At the same time, he smiled warmly at Dr. Indigo. "Welcome!"
"Okay, no problem!" Adams took off his contaminated gloves and led Dr. Indigo into the depths of the laboratory. As they walked, he introduced and answered all of Dr. Indigo's questions.
"You're a little late. Did something happen on your way here?" Yarlin looked at William with a faint smile. According to his calculations, William should have arrived here a few days ago.
William's heart skipped a beat. He raised his head and looked at Arlen with an ashamed expression. "There were some twists and turns along the way. We suffered some losses. The ship that Crowe sent was destroyed, so we were delayed for a while!"
"Oh, what happened?" Yarlin asked curiously.
