Chapter 363 [Extra] Rhapsody of Devil and Shura: Synchronicity

[Special] Rhapsody of Devil and Shura: Synchronicity

The underwater world is colder than I imagined. Although it is summer, it is night after all. If it weren't for the insulation equipment in the diving suit, I might have frozen to death in this human restricted area. After diving for nearly half an hour, I have come to the edge of the island. I found a reef. Using it as a cover, I looked towards the island first.

The island doesn't look very big, it seems to be the size of a remote village in Japan. But the height of the island is indeed high enough, the protruding rock peak is nearly 100 meters. It is really suitable to be a hidden den for a criminal gang.

Under the moonlight, I could only see the silhouette of the island, but judging from the general shape, there was no so-called surveillance lighthouse. Perhaps there was surveillance equipment installed inside, and if so, it would mean that the alert level here would not be too low. Taking out the thermal imaging telescope, I scanned the island.

"I have to say that having good equipment can make me safer." On the reef a few hundred meters away, I have already observed dozens of people wandering outside the island. Some are inside the island, while others are groping towards the island. They are the desperate criminals who have also landed on the island and have not been discovered so far.

"There is no commanding height here. It is almost impossible to snipe here." I put on the night vision telescope and looked at the landforms around the island. Bushes, trees and reefs have become the main colors here. If you want to explore further, you really have to go deeper. It's a pity that the telescope can't find out whether there are any surveillance devices on the island. But fortunately, there are seven or eight pioneers paving the way for me now, so let them worry about it. I can look for any points nearby where I can sneak in.

Why do I say seven or eight? Because in my field of vision, there are a few people who did not appear. Either they have not arrived yet, or they have sneaked in, or bypassed my field of vision. Otherwise, they have become the shark's meal.

I jumped back into the sea from the reef and used my diving equipment to circle the island a bit, but I didn't find a good opportunity. There weren't many people defending the back, but the cliffs here were too steep to climb. Although I saw two people circling behind me with my night vision goggles, I could only wish them good luck. There was a sunken sea area in the northwest, but I didn't dare to approach it, fearing that it was the enemy's outlet to the sea. If I ran into it, I would probably have to fight with swords.

Back to the beach in front, this should be the only good place to land. It seems impossible to sneak in without accurate surveillance intelligence. In addition, there are two objects to be taken this time. I don't know if the two objects will be put together. Although I think this is unrealistic, the ring and the document are two different categories of things, it is difficult to put them together.

After landing successfully, I sneaked into a bush and hid my body. I changed out of the heavy diving suit and put on a bulletproof T-shirt and my night clothes. One eye was wearing a thermal imaging lens, and the other eye was naked to observe every move nearby.

Looking at the few people walking around, I slowly approached them. Maybe others would choose to bypass them, but I still prefer to rush up and solve the problem directly. Because I have weapons, more weapons than they can imagine.

I quietly approached the two guards guarding the outer island, holding a silenced pistol in each hand. With two puffs, the two fell softly. A bloody hole appeared on their foreheads. The two fell to the ground, and I rushed up quickly. I dragged the two into the bushes. After all, they were modern pirates, and they were not dressed like the British or Spanish sailors in the Caribbean two hundred years ago. Instead, they were dressed in suits, shirts, and T-shirts. This saved me a lot of effort. I put away my night windbreaker, found a similar jacket from my necklace, put it on, and picked up a HK-MP5 and an M57 from the two corpses. This configuration is basically the standard configuration of pirates. Putting on such an outfit is conducive to sneaking into the interior. But it is very likely that other mercenaries or killers who come to attack will treat me as pirates. As a double threat, even if I changed my clothes, I didn't plan to sneak in right away. Instead, I stood where the two guards just stood, observing whether there were any surveillance cameras around.

Fortunately, when I returned to where the pirates had just stood, there was no surveillance above my head. This was probably because this location was far from the peak in the center of the island, so people were used to control it instead of surveillance. However, looking inside this outer area, I could clearly see the entrance to the cave at the bottom of the peak. It was a naturally formed sea cave. I didn't see any ships when I landed. I thought there should be a small port in the sea cave, connected to the sunken sea area I just saw.

"This island is nothing compared to my Elcatraz, but it is small but well-equipped. I believe it will be equipped with heavy firepower such as RPG. Although I can't say there are amphibious combat boats, it is always better to be careful. The safest way now is to wait for chaos to occur. Or, I will just create chaos." Standing at the door, I concentrated on thinking. "Tsk, it's a pity that there is still insufficient intelligence, otherwise it would be most convenient to sneak in. Forget it, let's slowly explore from the outside. At least before the fight inside, I need to choose a good retreat route."

Having made up my mind, I began to walk slowly around the island with my gun in hand. With night vision goggles and thermal imaging, I was able to bypass many guards, but it was difficult to see the surveillance of the entire island, so I had to walk step by step.

"It would be better to catch a snitch and ask him some questions." Hiding behind a tree, I carefully observed the movements of the people around me. Those who were able to get on the island began to sneak in, and I should be the slowest. But it doesn't matter. I never fight a battle that I am not sure of. It is better to be safe than sorry. After bypassing the main gate, I met a lone guard in the jungle. He probably came out to relieve himself. In the dark night, I waited silently until the moment he let out the water. A square towel filled with anesthetic covered his mouth and nose. After a few seconds of futile struggle, the guard fell down softly. I dragged him to the depths of the woods, tied him under a big tree, stuffed his mouth, and after I put on the mask, I slapped him in the face.

Snapped!
The loud slap woke him up instantly.

"Listen, if you don't want to die, answer the questions honestly." When he was completely awake from his confusion, I whispered in his ear in English. At the same time, I put the gun to his forehead. "Nod if you understand."

"Woo woo..." The guard nodded hurriedly. After all, he was just a subordinate and he had no loyalty at all in the face of life and death.

I slowly removed the cloth stuffing in his mouth. Sure enough, he was very obedient and didn't make a sound.

"Country of Citizenship."

"Japan."

"Yamaguchi?" I switched the language from English back to Japanese.

"Sanchi." said the guard.

"Is this the territory of the Sanchi Society?" I looked at the entire island.

“No… We were hired.”

"Isn't this a pirate's lair? You're not a pirate?" I caught a sensitive word. Hire. How could pirates hire gangsters?

"We are employed by this group of pirates. They seem to be protecting something." I don't know whether what the guard said is true or not, but after rolling up his sleeves and looking at the tattoos on his body, I believe that he is indeed from a gangster background. As for whether the rest is true or not, it doesn't matter.

“How many people are here?”

"We have more than thirty people, and there are more than 120 pirates. There are also some other small forces."

"Why are you here? What is it that you are trying so hard to protect?"

However, the guard just shook his head. "I was just following orders."

"Describe the appearance of your leader and the pirate leader."

"..." The guard looked at me coldly and didn't answer my question. Perhaps this question touched his bottom line. Even though I was pointing a gun at him, he didn't answer.

"Tell me where the treasure is hidden and how the surveillance is configured."

"The warehouse is underground, as is the monitoring room. The entire island's monitoring is concentrated in the mountains. The outside can only be guarded by people. The armory is in the back mountain..."

boom! ! ! !

Before the questioning was over, a huge explosion sounded in my ears. Soon, shouting and cursing echoed throughout the island, followed by the sounds of pistols, machine guns, and various explosions.

"The armory exploded." The guard frowned and said as he looked at the place where the fire was coming out of the headquarters. "Let me go, I have told you everything I know."

"Where is the big ship?"

"What big ship?"

Bang!
The hand holding the gun hit the guard's temple hard. After seeing him faint again, I did not kill him, but walked towards the central base of the island. I spared his life not because of my kindness, but if he could really survive and report this incident back to the Sanchi Society, it might cause even greater chaos. The assassins and mercenaries who came here this time came from all corners of the country. Let them all offend Sanchi and make the water more muddy, and we will have more opportunities to profit from it.

In the current situation, the battle has already begun and the chaos has begun. It's time to go in and fish in the dark.

—————————————————Rhapsody of Devil and Shura————————————————

I didn't enter the cave on the island right away, but went around the outside of the island and approached the port behind the island, where two medium-sized boats and four small speedboats were moored. They should be used by pirates to enter and exit the island. I believe there should be a large ship in an invisible position, which is the place where pirates usually rest and travel. It's a pity that I can't see it in such a dark night. It's a pity that the person just caught was an external guard and not a real pirate. There are about seven or eight guards here now. Of course, there must not be so few before, but after the explosion, there are not too many people guarding here now, and most of them have gone to the base to support.

Hiding at the edge of the rock, I took out my silenced pistol and easily knocked down a guard not far away. Then I ran to the next bunker and knocked down the next one, but this was seen by a sentry on a high place in the port. When I hid in the bunker, I heard the black-skinned pirate yelling, but it was just a sentence before I knocked him down with one shot and he fell from the height. My whereabouts were completely exposed.

The remaining guards filed out from the port, and some came out from the cabin of the medium-sized boat. Although they didn't have standard weapons, they were still guns after all. For a while, five or six of them beat me so hard that I couldn't even raise my head. But after their round of attack...

Da da da da da da! ! !

A series of bullets were fired from my gun. I took out the heavy machine gun from the necklace and fired at them. Moreover, I had night vision goggles, so I had the advantage of firepower and vision over them. In less than two rounds of bullets, the pirates who were just shouting were lying on the ground without a single one left.

I put away my gun and put my hand on the boat. The next moment, the whole boat disappeared and was put into my necklace. Another benefit of doing this is to find out if there are any living people. Because if there are living things, I can't put away the boat. Soon, after I put all six speedboats in my bag, I explored the cave from the back harbor.

The main body of the cave is the peak of the island. In addition to the most common karst cave, there is a man-made construction base, with stone and wood alternating. It is not a sense of technology, but it is definitely a modern building, and people can live in it. Wearing clothes similar to those of pirates, I sneaked into the base. At this time, there was a gunfight everywhere. I had to be careful not only of the pirates, but also of the mercenaries and killers. None of them were rookies. If I didn't pay attention, I might have to explain here. But fortunately, they fought very chaotically, and I took the opportunity to sneak into the base and found the warehouse with treasures hidden in the basement. There should be no one here at this time. After all, there was a clanging sound above, and the number of pirates was at least more than 200. With such a huge advantage, who would think of coming here to take the money and run away? However, although there were only a dozen people on the opposite side, they all survived the battlefield. Even if they were at a disadvantage, with their marksmanship and experience, it was no problem to take away seventy or eighty pirates. The problem was whether the weapons and physical strength of these more than ten people could withstand the continuous bombardment.

When I arrived at the warehouse, I detonated the surveillance in front of the warehouse door from a blind spot. After making sure that the enemy had lost sight, I buried a booby trap at the gate and then walked in cautiously.

"Tsk, tsk, these pirates are really rich." I couldn't help but click my tongue as I looked at the treasures all over the floor. The jewelry was dazzling, and the real gold and silver were piled up like a mountain. The US dollar and the British pound were almost like a carpet here, and all the utensils were made of precious metals. There were even a few paintings, but they were damp and couldn't be seen. "Okay, not bad, this wave is not a loss." With a full smirk, I began to put away these priceless treasures.

Pearl jewelry, collect! It's time to add some jewelry to Shiho and Shizuru.

Gold bricks, silver and jade, collect! Alcatraz's economy can be supplemented and relieved again.

Valuable vessel, keep it! Although it is useless, let Shoulang ask those collectors if they want it. If not, it is also good to throw it at home as a decoration. I wonder if Shoulang's girl Koga Sakura still wets the bed now? Take this as a... Hmm... Isn't it a bit of a waste?
Forget about the money all over the floor, it's dirty and I may not be able to spend it. I've collected most of the treasures and I'm going to leave. But before I leave, I think of a very serious problem. Where is the document and the ring? Why haven't I seen them after searching for so long? I saw a lot of diamonds and diamond rings, but they are not the rings I'm looking for? They don't match the photos in the briefing at all. Strange. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but search again, and even checked if there were any secret compartments, but the facts told me that I was overthinking. Obviously, neither the brown paper bag of the documents nor the ring were placed here.

"Did the pirate leader classify these? Or... did they realize something after reading the document?" I stared and thought. If these pirates were just pirates, then the document and the ring might be a guarantee of their wealth, but this time the pirates hired a lot of foreign mafia and forces. So these pirates might not just be after money. Maybe... They are in collusion with the government? With the right wing?! What if this damn trial is just an outpost to assassinate Sakagami Omi? This will only make them more vigilant! Very bad for us! Or, after reading this document, these pirates thought it was their ticket to immortality? What kind of secret is hidden in it?

"Damn trial!" I couldn't help but get angry. Although I was hired, I felt that there was a high possibility of being robbed and used as a tool, which was a really bad feeling.

... Click.

who!
The moment I heard the sound, I held the pistol in my hand and aimed back, and I was ready for battle.

There was a crisp sound behind me, and I knew that my booby trap had been removed. That crisp sound was the sound of the booby trap's grip returning. As long as the safety pin was inserted, the booby trap would be useless, and the enemy would also get a grenade. Now, I had to be careful of the enemy I was going to face next. Those who could easily find my booby trap and remove it were definitely not good people. And after that snap, I couldn't hear any other sounds. This meant that the person who removed the mine had intentionally hidden himself. A master, definitely a master.

Although I knew that he was one of the dozen killers, I couldn't rule out the possibility that he also wanted to kill me. After all, the pirates' treasure was right in front of me, so why would I share it with others?

I walked forward step by step, concentrating my hearing to the maximum. After a while, a strong thumping sound rang in my ears. But the sound was very small and gentle, which showed that this person was not nervous because of the upcoming battle, but was very calm. However, his position had been exposed.

Using a wall as cover, I caught the man's whereabouts. Unfortunately, I was holding a pistol. If he had held some penetrating guns, he would be dead now. But in this situation, I didn't dare to easily take out more powerful firepower from the necklace again, because just two or three seconds of distraction could become the fuse of my death. But it doesn't matter, I have approached the wall about one meter away. Unless he retreats, I can shoot him to death as long as he reveals a flaw!
However, just a second after I approached, a black shadow suddenly appeared. Subconsciously, I raised my gun and aimed at it, but in just a few seconds, I determined that it was just a black piece of clothing. I often use this method. A sense of danger in my mind made my scalp numb. In an instant, my body twisted hard and flashed to the right. In this flash, a black light shot past my chest and almost pierced my chest. It was a dagger shining with black light!
This person is very fast! I defined it in my mind, and the hand holding the gun pulled the trigger. But at the moment the bullet was fired, my wrist lifted up in pain. It was obvious that the person had used this less than a second to rush out, and raised his hand to hit my wrist, forcing my wrist to lift up. The gun in my hand also flew high because of the moment of paralysis of my wrist. The figure flashed in front of me. That was the moment when he lowered his body. He should want to attack my body. The wrist being raised did not affect the lower body. The moment I bent my body, I had already raised my left knee to hit his face, forcing him to retract the punch that attacked my abdomen. Bang!
Fists and feet met, and with a bang, his right fist hit my knee. The first round was evenly matched, and I used the force to sink, and the raised hand also swung down, and a heavy hammer hit his temple. But the man reacted quickly, because his center was low enough, he raised his left hand and directly blocked the punch, and swung his right fist again, landing on my face.

I threw a punch with such force that I almost lost my balance, but I also took advantage of the rightward momentum, and used my right foot to bounce up, and kicked him on the head with my left foot. The two of us flew out at the same time.

The instantaneous confrontation was over, and when the two separated, the gun that had just been knocked away had just fallen. The two flew out, and I quickly took out the second gun from the necklace, and when I turned around, I aimed at the enemy not far away. He also took the gun that had just been knocked away and pointed it at me. The two looked at each other, and murderous intent burst out, but in the next second, the murderous intent dissipated after the two of them said in confusion.

"It's you?!"

"It's you?!"

—————————————————Rhapsody of Devil and Shura————————————————

I looked at the man holding my gun and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Isn't this the young man who came here with me? After taking off the mask, I recognized his face. He had handsome features and looked very young. He was really about my age!

While I was surprised, the young man opposite seemed to recognize me, and even loosened his finger on the trigger. This action instantly relaxed my killing intent. Because there was no need, even if I had a 90% chance of shooting him at this moment. You know, my guns are specially made by Shoulang, and they need to be unlocked by palm prints. He couldn't use my gun at all. And the 10% failure was the grenade he just took out from his waist with his other hand. If he was really determined to die, I might not be able to please him.

"Why are you here?" Seeing that I had put away my murderous intent, the young man finally relaxed and the gun in his hand slowly dropped. Although we had never cooperated before, there was no need to fight to the death at this moment.

"Same purpose as you." I also put away my gun and tilted my head, gesturing in the direction of the treasure house. "But I couldn't take all of it, so I left some for the rest." Of course I wouldn't tell him that I had a space necklace and took away all the valuables. But the cash everywhere didn't mean I couldn't give it to those who wanted to get a piece of the pie.

The young man looked at the cash on the floor, but still frowned. "Did you find the ring?"

"No." I shook my head. "There are a few rings here, but they are not what we want. From what you said... did you find those documents?"

"..." The young man didn't say anything, but looked at me with a vigilant look. Maybe he was afraid that I would kill people and rob them.

"Don't be so nervous." I raised the muzzle of the gun upwards to show that I was harmless. "It's your ability to find it. It seems that your intelligence network is better than mine."

"What's the use of that?" The young man said with disdain. "We are all trapped here now and can't get out. The pirates outside will be heading here soon."

"Huh?" I was a little confused about what he said.

"Do you think we can escape from here with just the pistols and this grenade in our hands?" The young man seemed to not understand my doubts. "We don't have enough firepower, and there is no way to break out of this terrain. A few grenades from the enemy can kill us!"

"Oh, I've never worried about such a problem." I smiled contemptuously. "Excuse me, if I want to, I can kill all the pirates here!"

"Let's wait and see." The young man frowned, but did not refute me, and walked straight to the treasure room. Everyone has their own secrets, let alone killers like us.

"Hey, the fact that you can get here means you bypassed the firefight between the mercenaries and pirates outside, and judging from your equipment, you should have gone directly to get the documents, right?" Scanning this young man, I got a lot of information.

"Yeah." The young man nodded, not hiding anything. At our level, it's too easy to see something from others. "I do have the file, and I have accurate intelligence. Unfortunately, there was an accident with the plan. I just fought with the pirate leader and lost all the equipment I could use, so I'm trapped here now."

"This doesn't seem to be a simple pirate robbery. What else do you know?" I asked.

"..." The young man's eyes regained their vigilance. It seemed that he was very unhappy with my question. "Think about how to get out of here first." After a brief silence, the young man frowned and spoke.

"Let's make a deal," I suggested. "I'll provide you with weapons, and you'll provide me with intelligence."

"..." The young man seemed dissatisfied with my attitude. He turned around silently and continued to search for something in the treasure house.

"You have already got the document. I guess it is at your lower back. Even if I want to steal it, as long as you are still alive and pull the grenade, the document will be destroyed. It will not benefit me. I may even get hurt. The explosion will also attract pirates very quickly. It is not worth it." I raised my chin to the young man. "I will provide you with enough firepower to escape from here. You tell me the information you know. It is best to tell me the whereabouts of the ring, which is the pirate leader. As for the ring, I will get it myself."

"It seems that you are not only satisfied with the treasures here." The young man narrowed his eyes, as if he read my thoughts.

"Have you thought about it?" It seemed that the young man's attitude made me a little unhappy. I lost some of my temper and seemed a little impatient.

"Okay, although I don't know what you plan to do, the deal is settled. I can only tell you part of the information now. After we get out of this jar, I will tell you the location of the ship." The young man pointed upwards, indicating that they should leave the basement first.

"You just lied to me? You already knew the ring was in the hands of the pirate leader?" I frowned slightly. It seemed that he was lying to me when he asked me about the whereabouts of the ring. "What are you looking for here?"

"A watch." The young man didn't care about the deception. "I don't care what you get from here, but if you find a watch that's a bit old, with a metal strap, a gold frame and a black dial. It's engraved with ZM on the back. If you find it, please give it to me!"

"Can I exchange it with the document in your hand?" I finally understood why this person was able to obtain accurate intelligence. It turned out that he was not here for the mission of assassinating Sakagami Omi, but for another mission. His intelligence department had done a lot of work for this mission. But I didn't ask more questions. The less trouble, the better. When facing a master of the same level, try not to use guns if the problem can be solved by trading.

"Okay!" The young man said decisively.

"Unfortunately, there are no watches here." I spread my hands and smiled.

“...Are you kidding me?!” The young man looked at me in a daze, and his tone became a little unhappy.

"Just one per person." I smiled. This was a gift back to him for the trick he had just given me. "Go out first. There really aren't any watches here. And you'll need a life to find one if you want to."

"Okay!" The young man thought for a moment and finally nodded. So, each of us took a gun and left the treasure room along the corridor.

"My intelligence tells me that this pirate robbery was instigated by some government officials." The young man began to speak slowly on the road. "There is a right-winger named Sakagami Omi, who is our main target. They started planning a long time ago. Although the left-wingers are radical, the right-wingers are not soft persimmons, especially this Sakagami Omi, who is also involved with underground forces. The plan to kill Asakusa and rob the cruise ship of the left-wingers was planned by them a long time ago."

"That's why there are gangs and mercenaries on this island." I understood.

"Well, I opened this document in the pirate leader's room and looked at it. Inside is a deed to the ownership of the new island. If the left-leaning people lose this deed, they will suffer a full-scale attack from a certain black force. This is what the right wing has planned long ago."

"New island? Elcatraz?!" My heart trembled. Is this true? At present, the only new island near District 11 is Elcatraz. As for the Diaoyu Islands incident mentioned a few days ago, that belongs to China! District 11 will only make a fuss about this unless it is really looking for trouble.

"It seems to be this name." The young man recalled briefly. "I don't know the specific details, but this is roughly what I know. As for the ring, it seems to contain something like a transmitter. In short, it is very important to the government. This time the right wing has put all its efforts into it, which can be said to be the most direct confrontation with the left wing, even though the means are ugly."

"Oh, then this mission is really the right one." My face turned cold. No wonder I got so little information. It turned out that Zuoqing had lost the basis for cooperating with us. If this stamped deed really fell into the hands of the right wing, let alone our relationship with the left wing, just the deed being changed or sold would cause us to suffer a loss of hundreds of billions. This is a serious matter!

"It seems that this document is related to you?" The young man seemed to see what I was thinking.

"Maybe." I said perfunctorily.

"If you need, I can give you this document, but the prerequisite is that you help me go to the pirate's main ship and find the watch. How about exchanging the watch for the document?"

"It seems that our deal only ends with weapons and intelligence?" I narrowed my eyes slightly, expressing my dissatisfaction with the young man's words.

"Additional transaction." The young man said decisively. "I will show you the document now, but you can't take it away. As a reward, you have to help me find the watch on the ship. If you can't find it... then forget it. Is this sincere enough?"

"Deal." I agreed to his statement immediately. I could keep the document, but I had to confirm its contents first. This might be a chance for me to repay the government's favor once and for all.

"Give me my gun, you use this one." After saying that, I took out a pistol that I had just taken from the pirate's body, covering my necklace. "My gun has a palm print unlock, you can't use it."

"Um... OK." The young man looked embarrassed, but he also indirectly accepted my sincerity. After all, before this, if I wanted to kill the killer, he didn't even have the qualifications to shoot, at most he could just pull the grenade. The guns now were the best way to show my sincerity. "By the way, while you have time now, take a look at the documents first." As if to ease his own embarrassment, the young man spoke.

"Ah."

I took the document and quickly scanned the contents. Sure enough, this was a land deed related to Elcatraz. Although it was only located on the coast, it was the throat of Elcatraz's connection with the inland of District 11, so this document was extremely important. If it weren't for the transaction just now, it would be better for this document to fall into my own hands.

"This document seems useless to you. How about this, let's change the deal. I'll go get the ring and help you find the watch. If I have it, I'll bring it back to you directly. If not, we can exchange these two tokens before we give them to the government."

"Okay." The young man nodded. This didn't seem to have any effect on him.

So, after confirming the new trading project, we headed outside the island again.

I walked all the way to the back hall of the hall, and I didn't encounter any enemies on the way. But I could still hear bursts of gunfire from inside the hall, but the sound was much smaller than before, probably their battle was coming to an end.

"Wait here for me, I'll go get the equipment." I gestured to the young man, then walked into a room, and came out a few moments later with a large bag of equipment in my hands. Of course, this was all just to cover up, after all, I took all the equipment out of the necklace.

"All of them were seized from pirates. The grenades are mine." I put the bag in front of him. It contained seven or eight pistols, two submachine guns, several grenades, flash bombs and smoke bombs. There was also half a bag of bullets. "Add this night vision goggles, is that enough?"

"Well, that's enough... that's enough." The young man's eyes lit up. "This is a sea chart. I found it in the pirate leader's room." After saying that, the young man took out a folded paper from his waist. After opening it, he pointed to the sea not far from the island and said, "From the mark, the pirates' main ship should be here."

"Yes, I did receive it." I took the chart. "Transaction successful, I hope you can make it out alive."

"You too, I hope you'll be the one meeting me at the meeting point." We nodded to each other, and we stood up and walked in opposite directions.
