"Because the island is affected by the mysterious power of Queen Himiko, there are many strange phenomena. ”

Louis answered Alex Weiss's question very seriously, but Weiss and Laura took it as a joke, and then focused all their attention on the communication, and did not continue to ask about it.

By this time, there were more and more differences from the game. There are no Brotherhood of the Sun members who can't be killed here, and those people are not bored enough to arrange patrols and guards at various locations throughout the island.

Louis and the others made it to the signal tower without encountering any enemies, and for them, the biggest enemies were the huge changes in temperature and the extremely difficult rugged mountain roads.

After successfully reaching the signal tower, looking at the towering signal tower, Laura volunteered to climb to the top to send a distress signal.

And for good reason, she's the only one here who weighs the lightest, the least risky, and she's pretty good at climbing.

"Good luck!" Wes looked at the tall signal tower, he couldn't even think of trying, although he had a crush on Laura in his heart, and wanted to show himself in front of Laura and impress Laura.

But he has full self-knowledge, and the probability of going up and dying is far greater than success.

As for Louie, the other two felt that his tall stature and weight would be a burden, and that climbing the signal tower was much more dangerous than Laura's.

So Louis only sent a sentence in the end, "May the Force be with you!", and then stood below with Wes in Laura's eyes to watch the fun.

What happened next was similar to the original plot, Laura successfully contacted the rescue plane, and the plane happened to be looking for the Stoic nearby, they received a distress signal to come out for rescue work, and when they were ready to give up, they received a distress call from Laura.

This is also the reason why the rescue plane was able to fly to the island so quickly, and what happened next is still similar to the plot: the search and rescue plane successfully found the island, but was destroyed by the lightning released by the suddenly gathered dark clouds, and fell directly on the island.

Laura and Wes's expressions were broken, and they vaguely heard some kind of voice muttering, but unfortunately they couldn't understand what was being said.

"What's going on? Why is this happening?"

The dark clouds disappeared quickly after the rescue plane crashed, and the eerie sound was not normal no matter how you looked at it. Laura and Wes both remembered Louie's earlier joke, and what the difficult road said was actually true?

Laura, who is full of questions, then finds a temple dedicated to Himiko in the mountains, and Laura learns something from the mural: the inheritance of power.

"I have a bad premonition......"

Looking at the murals, the legends that Sanmantha had told many times, and the strange events she encountered when she came to the island, Laura began to feel that there was some kind of mysterious power on the island.

"Perhaps, those legends are not just stories. ”

Laura glanced at Louie a few more times, and as the time of contact increased, she gradually noticed that Louie was unusual, but Louie had been helping her, so Laura did not rush to ask Louie who he was, and what was his purpose.

Just as the group was returning to reunite with Rose, Laura received a communication from Green.

Angus Grimaldi, the helmsman of the USS Stoic, nicknamed Greene, was an experienced adventurer who followed Captain Ross on his adventures for many years, and after the shipwreck of the Stoic, Greene drifted to the island and became separated from all his companions.

With his extensive experience in adventure, Greene didn't get into much trouble, and he unexpectedly met Shanmantha, who had been captured by the Brotherhood of the Sun.

Instead of rushing out to die, he followed the group in the shadows to determine where Sanmantha had been taken. And he never took the initiative to communicate with everyone, but kept adjusting the channel of the communicator, until he determined the communication channel used by his partners, and then took the initiative to get in touch with his partners.

After briefly explaining his situation, Greene also told everyone that Shanmansha was imprisoned by the group in a building that resembled an ancient Japanese imperial palace.

"Well done, old man!"

Knowing where the captured partner is, the next goal is to rescue the partner, and the only regret is that the rescue plane crashed inexplicably.

"Let's meet together and then decide how to rescue Sanmantha. "Rose's idea is very simple, it is not a good idea to disperse at this time, everyone gather first, and then think about how to save Sanmantha and Reyes from those strange guys, after all, the other side is outnumbered and has weapons.

The group soon converged on a more secluded corner, at the corner of the mountain wall, and there was a dense grove of trees to avoid detection.

Everyone gathered here, including Green, who had been completely untraceable before.

"How's it going?" Seeing that everyone had arrived, Rose directly asked Greene where the other party was, as well as the general layout of the so-called palace.

"It's not very good, the building that looks like an ancient palace has a lot of space, and there is only one bridge leading to the main entrance, and there are so many guards on it that I can't get too close. Greene could only watch from afar as the group brought Sanmantha into the palace.

While speaking, he also glanced at Louis from time to time with his eyes, and Rose, who had a tacit understanding for many years, understood that the old man was asking with his eyes, 'Can this person be trusted?'.

Rose didn't reply, and Greene immediately understood that Rose didn't fully trust the stranger and needed to be on guard.

Louis could detect the small movements of the two, but he didn't break it, just listened to Green's introduction and figured out where the palace was located.

After discussing it for a while, they found that the only way to rescue Sanmantha and Reyes was to forcibly enter the palace, and it was impossible for them to avoid the guards on the bridge.

"Then don't avoid it. ”

"What do you mean?"

At this time, Louis didn't have to keep a low profile: "Since there is no other choice, let's attack directly from the front." ”

"This ......" Rose and Greene glanced at each other, wondering if this guy was an undercover agent sent by the enemy to deliberately lure them into the pit?

But Rose saw Louie kill a lot of those guys just to be an undercover agent among them, and to take so many lives? This is why Rose maintained a certain trust in Louie.

"Too reckless, isn't it?"

"There's no better way, and we don't have a lot of time to look at better plans. Louis glanced at Laura, she should be able to understand what she meant.

Laura was aware of Himiko's mysterious power to a certain extent, and she vaguely guessed in her heart the reason why Sanmantha was captured, but those were just her own guesses, and this possibility was so difficult to believe that even she doubted the authenticity, so she didn't say it.

"What are you going to do?" Rose thought for a moment, wanting to hear Louie's opinion first.

As soon as Louis spoke, Rose kicked aside the possibility that Louie was an undercover agent, because no one in his right mind could suggest such a suggestion.

"I'm in charge of the frontal attack, you can just watch and support from a distance. "I don't know where Rose found the sniper rifle, Rose can help even if he has a leg injury.

"You're alone?"

"That's right, I'm enough for myself. ”

“......”

Everyone looked at Louie speechlessly, and now they all believed that Louie was not a bad person, and now they suspected that Louie's brain might not be in his right, or that he had hit his head when he was killed, or that he had suffered some kind of stab on this island, and it was hard to say......

Louis stopped Rose and told the crowd in a very positive tone, "They won't do anything to Sanmantha for the time being, because those guys are going to sacrifice Sanmantha to Himiko." ”

"What? sacrifice?"

Everyone was stunned, only Laura asked Louis, "You mean those people are Bemiko's followers, and they want to sacrifice Sanmantha to Himiko?"

That's what it means. "Actually, it's not just as simple as offering it to Himiko, but to use Sanmantha as a vessel for Himiko's reincarnation, but it's useless to say this now, just let these people know the general situation.

"Those strange guys, are they a group of cult believers?" In the eyes of Ross and the others, offering a living person to a legendary being, a proper cultist behavior, they don't think that Himiko has any magical powers, legends are just legends, and Himiko is at most a tribal leader from a long time ago.

"Pretty much...... So no matter what we do, Sanmantha is safe until the ceremony begins...... If you wait until the ceremony begins......"

Rose looked at Louis and didn't ask him how he knew these things, compared to the situation that Sanmantha was facing, this kind of thing could be put aside first: "It's too dangerous to attack from the front." ”

"There's no other way anyway, if I fail, you'll have to think about other plans. Louis didn't try to convince them any longer, and stood up and prepared to go to the palace.

When everyone saw Louis get up, they didn't say anything more, but packed up their things together and followed Louis to the bridge in front of the palace.

Laura checked the longbow and arrows, and was about to ask Louie about his plan of attack, when she found that Louie was walking towards the bridge in such a grand manner, without any intention of concealing it...... And no one misunderstood that Louie was going to betray them, because Louie raised his hand and killed the guard with a single shot.

"This guy is actually a madman, right?"
