Unfortunately, He lost the bet.
Chapter 937 It's actually quite comfortable to step on.
Clearly, if the Dark One's initial idea was to trap Lu Ban here, then He may have chosen the wrong method.
He probably didn't expect other evil gods to intervene, nor did he expect that these chosen ones would actually sacrifice themselves just to free Lu Ban from this illusion.
Of course, after dealing with so many gods above gods, Lu Ban could roughly figure out the temperaments of these evil gods.
Perhaps the "Dark One" had actually foreseen all of this, and even Lu Ban's ability to escape this world was within His expectations.
It's possible that this person simply wants to witness Lu Ban's struggles in this world and send away other chosen ones again.
Like many people, when they cry while watching a movie, they don't stop watching that movie altogether. Instead, they go online to find other people's reactions to the movie and laugh happily when they see them crying.
Regardless, Lu Ban now holds the key to breaking the deadlock.
"I want to see this place again."
Lu Ban gestured to Amber not to hurt Xi Ya, and then glanced at the monsters.
"Should we get rid of these monsters?"
Amber nodded.
The next moment, countless dark figures rushed towards the white monsters.
These shadowy figures were clearly much stronger than the white monsters. Although the white monsters were more numerous, they were gradually devoured. In the end, in less than a quarter of an hour, all the white monsters on the ground were cleared away, and the rest fled into the sea, pursued by the shadowy figures.
"I'm a little curious. Since He created this world based on a different realm, how exactly did He do it?"
Lu Ban asked again.
This point may seem like it's not worth discussing, but it's very important to Lu Ban.
This means that at the level of "Dark Ones," one can completely use the desolate alien realm to create a relatively normal world.
"I don't know, He didn't tell me any of that."
Amber shook her head, then looked at Sia with some wariness.
"The case from ten years ago, and that jade pendant, which side are they connected to?"
Lu Ban asked again.
"It must be related to them."
Amber pointed to the dark figure beside her.
The dark figure slightly turned its head, just like an adorable husky.
"So you took the jade pendant?"
"Ah."
Amber nodded obediently.
“That’s something He left behind, a foreshadowing of your coming here to witness all of this.”
Lu Ban thought about it. For an Outer God like Charlotte, traveling through time was not a problem. As an avatar that could rival the "Dark Ones," it was normal for her to intervene in the operation of this world.
As for why she didn't directly help Lu Ban.
He was well aware of it too.
Although Charlotte seemed relatively friendly to me, she was ultimately a fun-loving person.
Whether Lu Ban exists or not has little impact on Charlotte herself.
It's like meeting a cat on the street. You might feed it some ham, pet its head, and seem quite friendly. But if that cat gets into a fight with another cat, you'd just stand by and watch, not risk getting scratched to stop them.
So, when the "Dark Ones" captured Lu Ban, Charlotte probably watched from the sidelines with a "let's have some fun" attitude, only making her move when she felt it was about time.
This also confirms that as long as one doesn't deviate from the script, no matter how powerful Lu Ban becomes, he is ultimately just a plaything of the Outer Gods.
What should we do now?
Xia also looked at Amber warily. She didn't understand the topic that Lu Ban and Amber had just been talking about, but she could roughly guess that this was probably the mastermind behind the incident.
"This island is likely a projection of the past. It was abandoned ten years ago due to a sacrificial ceremony."
Amber added.
Lu Ban finally understood what had happened on the island.
It is estimated that ten years ago, Zou Changyu and his wife came here to perform a sacrificial ritual in an attempt to summon an evil god. They then summoned these white monsters, which led to the killing of all the island's inhabitants and the island's abandonment.
Pollution has caused anomalies on the island. All the tourists and islanders that Lu Ban and his group encountered were phantoms of the past. Spacetime here has become disordered. What Trist and Lu Ban were just in the hotel was something that happened in the past.
The tragedy of the unfortunate hotel owner and his alienated child continues to unfold here, without end.
The tourists and waiters in the bar were the same; they had once killed each other because of pollution.
Charlotte and the Dark Man are like two directors with conflicting perspectives, constantly adding their own elements to the established plot, ultimately causing the story to take an unpredictable turn.
"These ships are actually fake. Anyone who tries to board one will attract those white monsters."
Amber spoke again, then paused for a moment.
"If you want to get to the nearest island, you can rely on these guys."
She pointed to the dark figures.
"..."
Looking at the shadowy figures, Xia was unsure whether Amber was joking.
"Are you serious?"
She confirmed it.
Although Amber did seem to want to kill her, Xia also realized that as long as Lu Ban was there, Amber wouldn't do anything to her.
"Hmm, actually it's quite comfortable to step on, it's soft."
Amber said, lifting her foot to show it off, but all that was noticed was her fair and delicate toes, with no one paying attention to what those shadowy monsters actually felt like.
Lu Ban tried to stand on it.
Indeed, it's very soft, just like a sofa.
Moreover, this dark shape has a strong load-bearing capacity and shows no signs of being crushed.
"Come."
Lu Ban reached out his hand to Xi Ya.
After hesitating for a moment, Xia Ya grasped Lu Ban's hand again, took a step forward, and stepped onto the shadowy monsters.
Amber glanced at their clasped hands but said nothing.
The shadowy monster quickly began to wriggle.
Xia almost lost her balance and fell, but luckily Lu Ban caught her in time.
"That's strange, I'm standing pretty steadily."
Lu Ban asked Xi Ya to bend down slightly to steady herself.
"Humph."
Amber merely snorted, leading countless shadowy figures forward on the waves.
Lu Ban glanced back at the island.
The entire island was shrouded in mist and soon disappeared without a trace.
The long night was finally coming to an end, and as dawn was about to break, the dark figure finally arrived at the nearby island beach.
To outsiders, Lu Ban and his group appeared to be walking on water, cutting through the waves.
Fortunately, no fishermen were encountered, so there was no need to use amber to treat the witnesses.
Of course, even if someone saw it, they wouldn't think it was a monster; they would just think it was a dream from someone who hadn't woken up yet.
On the beach, the shadowy monsters sank into the sea and were submerged. Amber stepped onto the sand and realized that she was barefoot.
"Let me carry you on my back."
Lu Ban reached out his hand to Amber.
Amber hesitated for a moment before nodding, and was immediately carried on Lu Ban's back.
Xia remained silent, watching quietly.
The sun rises from the sea, casting a golden glow.
The three walked towards the rising sun.
Chapter 938 Is this human?
This island is the largest in the vicinity, and the plane that Lu Ban and his group took landed here.
The island's indigenous people have mostly taken up tourism-related industries, and even fishing is now often used as a performance.
Therefore, it is now rare to see fishermen setting out to sea before dawn.
"Don't you feel strange walking here now?"
Sia asked suspiciously, glancing at Lu Ban who was carrying Amber on his back.
There was no one on the street, only the faint sounds of people getting up coming from the second floor of the houses on both sides of the road, and the occasional cry of a baby.
Xia was referring to the fact that they had originally taken a boat to that abandoned island, but had now inexplicably returned.
According to Amber, all of this was orchestrated by some unseen force, therefore, the information that Sia and the others received was incorrect.
It's possible that Zou Changyu and his wife were already dead, and everyone they encountered on the island was a fake monster. Even the ship that took them there might have been a monster in disguise.
So, what happens to those who die on the island?
According to official records, how did Twisted Fate and his companions meet their end?
Or perhaps, because all of this is an illusion created by the "Dark Ones," the dead are simply erased from existence?
