Once upon a time, in the northwestern seas of the Venus plane, there was an ordinary remote island. The island has no name, and there is only a small town on it that is home to a few thousand inhabitants. More than half of these people are fishermen who make a living from fishing all year round. Due to the remote location of the island and the lack of important shipping lanes around it, the news is very closed, and there is not even a sailors' guild on the island.

The highest-level powerhouses on the island are only high-level, and people can only know through the occasional merchant ships that come here that there are peerless powerhouses outside who can call the wind and rain. Many young people who yearn for freedom and adventure will accept the employment of merchant ships and go out to sea to see the outside world. The island, on the other hand, has always maintained this secluded calm, as if it were a separate world.

On this island, there is an inconspicuous boy who has lost his parents since he was a child, and has no relatives or friends. As in many tragic childhoods, the teenager was bullied and humiliated by others, and no one helped him. As a result, the boy became even more lonely and withdrawn, never talking to anyone else, but hiding alone in the woods all day long, not knowing what he was doing.

Time passed, the boy grew up, and suddenly one day, he came out of the woods. The others tried to bully him as usual, but were instantly killed by the powerful magic cast by the boy. No one knows when the boy learned such powerful magic, but people know that the boy's revenge is bound to come.

Countless magics have attacked the town, and many people have died like this, even high-level magicians are only qualified to be killed in seconds in the hands of young people. But the boy's approach was very strange, some of them killed them directly, while others did not move at all.

Some people say that those who were killed were the ones who had bullied the youth. It has also been discovered that not all of the people who have been killed have bullied the teenager, and his selectivity towards killing is just a game attitude.

After a bloody attempt to intimidate the islanders, the boy left the island and followed a merchant ship across the ocean. Man is always a forgetful animal, and after the events of his youth, everything quickly returns to the way it was. People live an ordinary life with forgetfulness, forgetfully discuss the gossip brought by the merchant ships, and forgetfully bully the weak.

Until one day three years later, the former teenager returned. He declared himself the owner of the island and set his own rules, and all the island's natives were forced to sign a contract, and their status became prey to not leave the island. As long as the outsiders buy tickets, they can kill the prey without scruples, and the prey can only have a chance to leave the island if they kill the hunter and grab the ticket.

In the beginning, the islanders were only habitually subservient to power, and many signed contracts without knowing it. However, when they found out about the impact of this rule on themselves, they were naturally opposed by many people, and many prey privately gathered to kill the island owner. However, all this was in vain, and in the face of the island's powerful qi magic, any resistance was useless. And with the eavesdropping of the Wind Listening Technique, all the secrets of the island cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of the island owner.

As the years passed, fewer and fewer people resisted the island's owners, and the islanders accepted the fact that they had learned to survive as a prey in such an environment. Gradually, there was a division of classes among the prey, and the five men of the highest rank, who called themselves the deputy owners, helped maintain order on the island during the owner's absence, and the owner acquiesced in all this.

Each of the five vice-island owners had enough strength to kill the hunter to get tickets, but none of them wanted to leave the island for their own reasons. The druid was one of the five vice-owners, and he knew more or less what the other four were thinking, some were used to the rules here and didn't want to change their lives, and some enjoyed the position of the vice-owners in power. The druid, on the other hand, simply did not want to leave, because this was his hometown.

In the druid's view, there is no innate sin, and the former boy, now the owner of the island, is the creation of the evil side of the island's inhabitants, and the collection of all the negative elements of the people. When a teenager is bullied, there are only two kinds of people around, the perpetrator and the bystander, but no one is innocent. Therefore, everyone on the hunting island must bear this price, and no one can escape. Now the tragic fate of hunting the prey on the island can be seen as a kind of atonement.

The druid was born with strong mental power, and in a chance contact with the owner, he discovered some of the owner's psychology through mental fluctuations. Knowing that the island owner's extremely inferior personality is actually eager for the evaluation and discussion of others to get inner enrichment, and using the wind to eavesdrop on the fear of the prey is the most satisfying for him.

So he purposefully organized the other four vice-owners to discuss things, make positive comments, and actively discuss the preferences of the owners. When they learned that the owner of the island frequented Anastasia, which is located in the temperate zone, he speculated that the owner of the island frequented it because he liked to eat oranges there. So under his leadership, the prey planted a lot of orange trees on the fourth floor, and when the oranges of yellow, orange and orange were full and hung all over the treetops, the island owner was really very happy and ate a lot.

After many attempts, consciously or unconsciously, the druids were finally able to determine that the owner of the island liked to be figured out by others. And for the prey to continue to talk about themselves, they have changed their habits to a great extent, to cater to the speculation of others, and make themselves more and more like themselves in the eyes of others. The so-called mirror self is nothing more than that.

So unconsciously, under the secret guidance of the druid, the owner's heart also quietly changed. There is less and less direct management of the hunting island, but they are obsessed with eavesdropping on what their prey says about themselves, like playing with the gods of faith, and if they come regularly, they will not be able to create a mystery.

And even in the absence of the Owner, the Druid led the other four Deputy Owners to manage the Hunting Island with a strong hand, so that any prey who tried to change the rules of the Hunting Island had no chance. This also strengthened the conceit of the island owner from the side, and the hunting island still operated normally under this rule when he was away, which is enough to prove the perfection of this set of rules.

At one point, when the island owner did not appear for a long time, when the druid felt that the time was ripe, he secretly guided the deputy island owners in the discussion of the five deputy island owners, using the semi-hypnotic method of mental interference, and deduced the conclusion that "the island master is dead". It was a crazy adventure, but for the druids, it was worth it, and they turned out to be successful. Since then, the owner of the island has not appeared again, and the five of them still regard themselves as deputy owners, leaving the position of the owner of the island forever vacant as a sign of respect for the owner. And the hunting island is still a hunting island, and the general principle has not changed from beginning to end, but without the existence of a moody island owner, he can give the prey more leniency in small conveniences, so that the life of the prey is not so difficult, which is what he can do.

Year after year, day after day. Hunting Island ushered in batches of hunters, and countless prey relied on the tickets obtained by counter-killing to leave here, only the cruel Shura law has not changed. Hunting Island has become more and more famous under the management of the five deputy island owners, and the real island owner has not appeared for a long time, and even makes people forget that there is another island owner here.

But the druids knew that the realm formed by the Wind Hearing had never disappeared, and that the owner of the island must be somewhere monitoring everything on the island. If the rules of the island hunting are broken, the bottom line of the island owner will be touched, and the island owner will not continue to pretend to be dead. So he still led the four deputy island owners, speculating about the intentions of the island owners all the time, and carefully managing the hunting island.

The appearance of Darko and others was an accident. Usually, when such an illegal intruder appears, there is no need for the deputy owner to intervene, and the intruder will die at the hands of the prey or the hunter. And the combat effectiveness of Darko's team is somewhat beyond the ordinary, and the five deputy island owners had to take action personally, but they still failed to defeat.

If the five vice-owners are killed, the owner will lose the five men who are best at guessing his intentions, and he will inevitably act in anger. That was certainly undesirable for the druids who had worked so hard to create such a fragile balance. So he chose to let go of his spirit at the moment of mental shock, and let Dakko know all of this. So Darko analyzed that the outcome of continuing the battle would be harmful to either of them, so he persuaded Phyllis and the others to leave the island immediately, regardless of their previous suspicions.

After listening to Darko's narration, Phyllis and the others fell into silence for a long time, this is not an inspirational story of the defeat of the weak over the strong, but everyone was deeply shocked by the wisdom of the druid. In the face of an invincible strong man, relying on the only resources in his hands, he sought such a result with one strategy after another. Such wisdom and courage are impressive enough.

"That island owner is really strange, what's the use of making such a hunting island, even if no one can beat him, it can only make others fear him. "Phyllis was born with a very pure bloodline, and she has the least feeling for the livelihood of such a small person, but is more interested in the unknown island owner.

Kevin sighed, "Perhaps, for people with low self-esteem, making everyone afraid of him is the greatest satisfaction." ”

"The owner of the island is not such a person. Otto shook his head flatly, his eyes still looking in the direction of the stern of the ship, where there was a hunting island that had long since disappeared at the junction of sea and sky, "Even if there is a grudge against others, it will disappear long after the first killing, and there is no need to rely on such means to obtain so-called satisfaction and pleasure." ”

"Hey, the root of all your experiences is because of the rules set by this mysterious island owner, why do you still speak for him now?" Phyllis jumped up to Otto in surprise and waved her hand desperately in front of his eyes, for fear that someone had been under mind control.

"It's not for him to speak. "When I was on the island, I was only afraid of the owner, but after I left, I gradually mixed it with a little respect, a recognition of his strength and values. ”

"Values, the rules of hunting on the island?" said Tassa, suddenly.

"Speaking of which, when I was on the hunting island, I did feel a trace of the power of the law, which is why I was so depressed. "Wendy has a divine soul and is more sensitive to this higher level of power.

Darko pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement with Wendy, and then said to himself, "The feeling of that law is a little familiar, but definitely something I've never experienced before. ”

"It is the owner of the island, with his own values, relying on the rules of hunting on an island, to the extent that he communicates the laws at a certain level, which is really commendable. Otto sighed heartily, and although he had not met the owner, he was impressed by the rules he had created.

"I'm more interested in that druid. It's a terrible character to be able to guide the other four vice-island owners to deduce the conclusions they hope to get through semi-hypnosis. Elena was more curious about the story itself, and said meaningfully, "I really want to know what the specific situation and details were like, it must be a very fascinating story." ”

"I think so. Otto's gaze looked in the direction of the stern of the ship, where there was a hunting island that had long since disappeared at the junction of sea and sky, "But that's another story." ”
