"This can be seen from the fact that even after the second-generation Milon grew up, he planned to cooperate with the pirates. Deep in Milon's heart, there was a hidden fear of pirates. This fear prompted him to seek the help of pirates. In his eyes, pirates were powerful." - Yu Wenzhou, The King's Avatar World.
"Damn, they even analyzed his psychology! This guy is amazing!" Xia Ling, from the world of Zhenhun Street.
"Wow, this guy's really making a name for himself across all realms." - Ye Xiu, The King's Avatar world.
……
At dusk, dim light streamed into the room through the window.
A traditional Chinese doctor is applying medicine to a boy.
"Ouch!" the boy gasped softly.
Seeing the boy wince in pain, the doctor from Kulai gently comforted him.
"The bruises will heal quickly."
"Have you found the spy?" the boy asked with concern.
"We'll handle this. We'll also try our best to find a solution for your friend's situation."
[The doctor gently comforted the boy, then stood up and pointed to the handcuffs at his feet.]
"Ah, I'll go find someone to help you take this down."
After saying this, Doctor Gu Lai turned to leave.
But after turning halfway, he stopped, maintaining his smile, and said...
"You are free."
After saying that, she turned and left, giving the boy some space.
【“谢谢。”】
Hearing this, a smile involuntarily appeared on the boy's face, as if the immense pressure he had been carrying had vanished under the gentle comfort of Dr. Gu Lai.
"We should be thanking you."
[The doctor from ancient times said kindly.]
After saying this, he slowly closed the door.
"Thank me?"
The boy was taken aback for a moment, but then a blush crept onto his face.
"It's so good to be able to help others!"
The boy spoke as he relaxed on the bed, a happy smile spreading across his face.
"Once everyone has taken down the black flag, I can go learn to draw and just draw whatever looks nice."
Gazing at the ceiling, the boy spoke with anticipation for the future, his eyes filled with hope.
【"Beep beep, beep beep~"】
Suddenly, a crisp bell rang, breaking the tranquility of the room.
【"Um?"】
The boy paused, then looked for the source of the sound and realized it was coming from his own pants pocket.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a metal box.
【"What's this?"】
【"Beep beep~, beep beep~ swish!"】
The box automatically connected, transmitting the other party's image; Asio's figure appeared clearly on the box's screen.
Chapter 18 A Moment of Freedom!
[On the communicator's screen.]
"That's quite bold."
The parrot atop Ashio's head quipped, "No wonder he grew up under the Black Flag."
"I have absolutely nothing to do with you!"
Upon seeing it was Asio, the boy sat bolt upright and roared into the communicator.
"Your spy will be found soon, and you'll never be able to take over this city!"
"Grandpa Asio said, no one could have imagined that a little boy who escaped death from pirates was actually a spy!"
[The parrot on Asio's head continued, Asio proudly pressed his large face against the screen, his eyes looking up and down in a horrifyingly exaggerated manner, his mouth smirking to reveal a mouthful of large gold teeth.]
"Me? A spy?"
The boy, looking exasperated, didn't want to have anything to do with the other person and retorted.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I help you do bad things?"
"It'll be ready soon."
[Asceo let out a hideous laugh, then lifted the girl the boy had given him the painting, a twisted, mocking smile curling at the corner of his mouth.]
"Ugh! Eh!"
[Asceo's rough actions caused the girl to let out a soft moan of pain.]
[“No!”]
Upon seeing that it was a girl, a hint of panic flashed across the boy's face.
【The other side.】
[Asio had a pirate hold the phone, casually tossed the girl to the ground, pulled out a pistol, released the safety, pointed it at the girl, and sneered.]
"If the city gates haven't opened in ten minutes, you'll have to go outside the city and dig them out."
[In the direction the girl was looking, a group of children, like the boy, who had been captured at a young age, were gathered together, sitting lifelessly on the ground.]
Looking at the scene on his phone, the boy's hands trembled violently; fear, regret, worry—a mix of emotions swirled within him.
"No, don't hurt them."
The boy's voice trembled, and his tone lowered.
"It has nothing to do with them."
"Your shackles contain a hypnotic gas; once the guards are knocked unconscious, the city gates will open."
The parrot above Asio's head chuckled maliciously.
"As long as Grandpa Asio gets the money, no one will get hurt."
"Keep it up!"
[After speaking, the image on the box gradually dimmed.]
The boy gripped the screen tightly, staring blankly at the leg irons.
He finally realized that he had never had a choice.
"I simply..."
The boy spoke with a bitter tone.
"Can't you get freedom...?"
……
"'I can't even get freedom?' That sentence is really heartbreaking." - Qing Tong, Fox Spirit Matchmaker World.
"May Lord Barbatos bless you." — Barbara, Genshin Impact.
"But to be fair, this phone call was really timed. Whenever I made that call, Dr. Gu Lai would be quietly listening to his plans." —From the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes, Anonymous.
"Moreover, their military skills are too low. Facing people of unknown origin, not only is there no one guarding them, but they don't even conduct the most basic body search." Yuanlong World, Wang Sheng.
"However, even a fool would know that pirates would never keep their promises." —Wang Lu, from the world of Once Upon a Time in a Spirit Sword Mountain.
"I think we can totally turn the tables on them, lure them into a trap, and then catch them like turtles in a jar." —Lolo's Adventures World, Lolo.
"Sigh, the pirates' brainwashing was too good. I'm afraid that in the eyes of the second-generation Milon, the pirates' conspiracy is impossible to fail." - Zhang Chulan, Under One Person World.
……
It was already night, but the city was still bustling with people.
The city was systematically checking every guard, attempting to find any spies hidden within its walls.
"No suspicious persons have been found yet."
The red-haired guard approached the doctor and whispered a report.
"That child risked his life to come here; he would never lie. Check him carefully again."
[The sound of a soldier falling to the ground rang out.]
【"Um?"】
The doctor was startled and turned around to look behind him, only to see the red-haired guard lying unconscious on the ground.
【"Hello!"】
Immediately afterwards, a thick plume of purple smoke rose into the air.
【"This is……"】
[The doctor felt a sudden wave of exhaustion and collapsed to his knees, utterly powerless.]
"Hypnotic gas?"
"Have the pirates' spies taken action yet? Where are they?"
Despite his exhaustion, the doctor searched everywhere for traces of the spy.
【in vain!】
His pupils contracted slightly, and he stared incredulously at the figure not far away.
Why?
The boy's figure suddenly appeared before them, and Dr. Gu Lai stared at him in disbelief.
The boy kept his head down and did not answer.
Soon, the pirates entered the city, tied everyone together, and then transported sacks of valuables and food.
"We've held on for so long!"
[The red-haired guard gritted his teeth and said.]
"It's all over."
【Buzz!】
A massive, black mechanical vehicle slowly drove in from outside the city and came to a stop in front of everyone.
"As expected of Black Flag's youngest member, his first mission was such a success."
Asio jumped off the car, and the parrot on his head chuckled softly at the boy.
"You brat!"
"He put on such an honest face, yet he became a pirate at such a young age!"
"If you can still move, I will absolutely not let you off!"
The guards erupted in angry shouts.
"What exactly happened?"
[The doctor continued to inquire, "At that time, the boy's joy didn't seem fake at all, so why?"]
Upon hearing this, the boy lowered his head, not daring to look at the doctor, and remained silent.
"Fish bait."
The little girl beside her slowly began to explain.
"That's what Black Flag calls us."
