Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Foreigner

This content made the office fall into a strange silence.

“Wow, why does it sound so scary now? I didn’t realize it back then.”

Leda patted her chest with lingering fear and took out her small backpack, ready to eat something to calm her nerves.

Hugo said in disbelief, “That’s impossible. I’ve been here for two years. Aren’t I fine?”

Kuro closed the book, blew out smoke, and said in a deep voice, “Chloe.”

Crowe looked at Hugo and said, “Lieutenant Colonel Hugo, didn’t you feel strange when you came to garrison?”

Hugo thought for a moment and said, “I came here two years ago. The previous base chief died of illness, so I took over. Because I can’t enter the base, I don’t know what happened, but I heard that some people here were called into the base three years ago and then a new group of people was let in. Since then, the base can’t recruit Marines.”

Crowe nodded and said, “According to the intelligence I saw, although the Kingdom of Tada does not communicate much with the outside world, there is normal diplomacy and there are traces of communication with other countries on land. It was not until ten years ago that their communication became shorter and shorter. From this, it is inferred that the contents of the book have already happened in reality ten years ago, but the Kingdom of Tada officially cut off diplomacy in the surrounding countries five years ago.”

“That means that they spent five years, not only did they fail to find Bluebeard, but they also made the disaster more and more rampant in the kingdom, so they simply cut off contact with other countries and blocked the border to prevent the disaster from escaping to other countries.”

“Miss Leda, when was the last time you were here?” Crowe asked.

Leda chewed the apple and tilted her head to think for a moment. “Before coming to East Blue… I forgot the exact time, it won’t be long.”

“In that case, it means that this book did not exist for a long time. It can be concluded that the ability of ‘Bluebeard’ was not too strong at that time, but with the change of time, his infectiousness increased greatly and this book appeared.”

“Three years ago, the kingdom banned this book, and at the same time, it was officially locked down. In addition, the port city of Tada Town has changed a group of people, and they don’t even let people go to sea. This means that the disaster inside the kingdom is very serious.”

“We don’t know exactly how, but the ability of Absolem is to make people have an illusion. The plaque that Mr. Kuro saw in the port before was an illusion that was applied, and the port is facing outsiders, which means that their strategic goal has been applied from the inside out.”

“In other words…”

Crowe pushed up his glasses and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. “The situation inside the kingdom is already very bad, even…”

He did not dare to say the rest.

But Kuro could guess.

It was very likely that everyone in the country had suffered.

There are tens of thousands of people. If something really happens, it will not be a small matter.

Hugo also understood Crowe’s words and said: “It can’t be. If the Kingdom of Tada is really like that, then wouldn’t it be better to inform the World Government at the beginning?”

“No… It’s precisely because of this that we can’t inform the government.”

Kuro stood up, put the book in his arms, and sighed.

If the contents of the book can become reality, then at present, the people here are very terrifying.

During the day, he is like a normal person. At night, he will transform into a monster. Even if he dies the next day, he can still be resurrected and continue to live as if nothing has happened.

If this kind of thing is reported to the World Government, once the government sends people to find out the truth here, then the only way to be sure that it can’t be solved is Kuro.

Perhaps the Tada Kingdom took this into account and did not make it public.

After all, compared to the instant destruction of the country, he could slowly resolve it internally and there was still hope for salvation.

But now it seems that it is very likely that he is just delaying the destruction of his country.

“That’s a country. It’s really… a headache.”

Kuro shook his head.

He was involved in another troublesome matter.

“Let’s go…”

“Where are we going?” Hugo asked.

Kuro said, “Look for that Gugas person. That strange woman mentioned him. If he is in the same group, he should know something.”

“Impossible!”

Hugo jumped up. “Lord Gugas will never be with pirates and evil people. That is the person I respect the most. I will not allow you to insult him!”

Kuro turned his head. “You take off this skin and say that to me again, Hugo ‘Lieutenant Colonel’!”

“I will go with you and I will prove his innocence!” Hugo followed.

… .

There was a huge bridge in front of the gate at the end of Tada Town, and under the bridge was an endless abyss.

The island seems to have been hollowed out from here and there is no other place to approach.

When Kuro brought Marines here, he found that it was unusually deserted and there was no one here at all. The fortress on both sides of the gate that was filled with heavy artillery was also in an unmanned state.

With Kuro’s eyesight, he could even see that the cannon hole was filled with dust. Not only had it not been used for a long time, but no one had even taken care of it.

“Mr. Gugas, Mr. Gugas!”

Hugo started shouting at the top of his voice.

“No need to shout.”

Kuro exhaled a mouthful of smoke and looked at the small fortress above the gate and said, “He walked this way when we came. His Observation skill is not low.”

With his words, a crisp sound sounded on the door.

It sounded like a sharp weapon scratching the ground.

On it, a man in a monk’s robe slowly appeared. He held a doctrinal book in his left hand, his eyes were closed, and he was muttering something as if he was praying.

Just like the photo, he was wearing a pair of round-framed glasses and looked very elegant. If it weren’t for the huge axe in his other hand…

As he walked, the axe blade rubbed against the ground, and the crisp sound came from here.

This man …

Very strong.

Kuro narrowed his eyes.

“Mr. Gugas!”

Hugo said excitedly, “Long time no see. I am the Marine Base Chief here, Hugo. This time I am here to ask…”

Before he could finish speaking, Gugas, who had already walked above the gate, opened his eyes and did not look at Hugo at all. Instead, he said to Kuro, “Foreigner.”

These words made Kuro gasp.

It sounded so scary. He did not want to be a foreigner. It was too terrifying.

If he hadn’t been sure that this was the fault of the metahuman, he would have turned around and left.

“Leave, there is still time,” Gugas said lightly.

“You really know something, can you tell me?” Kuro smiled.

Gugas looked at Kuro in silence for a while and then closed his eyes again. “Leave, the internal affairs of the kingdom do not need Marine to intervene. We are atoning for our sins. No matter what happens, this is our sin.”

“I really don’t want to care about your internal affairs.”

Kuro smacked his lips and took out the book. “But we also read this book, so if you can unlock this ability for us, I will leave immediately.”

Generally speaking, how could he be so proactive, but the key was that what Absolem said made him helpless. From the beginning when they entered the port, everyone saw the plaque.

In other words, everyone was affected.

“I hate this kind of ability user the most!” Kuro gritted his teeth, “You let the person behind you relieve me, you can redeem yourselves however you want.”

Who knows what the activation conditions of this ability are and what level it is when facing a group.

Absolem uses his ability to make people hallucinate. Isn’t his purpose to let people see books? If he can activate it after seeing it, this BUG ability is extremely dangerous!

You let him go back after you fell for it?

If there is no result today, I will scatter your ashes!
