The Bizarre Adventure of Pirates

After a moment's silence, the old man said word by word: "Because of a 'revelation'."

Revelation?

Jon was puzzled.

Morgan stared at the ceiling light of the medical bay in a trance, "So, you don't understand anything.

The lighthouse was originally just a prison in the sky.

We are the descendants of prisoners and prison guards.

After several generations of unremitting transformation, the lighthouse finally became what it is today.

But aren't you curious?

How did a group of uneducated prisoners and guards transform the sky prison into a safe place for humans without any help? "

Jon pricked up his ears. "I'd like to hear more about it."

"The answer is that we have some help, some help from other species."

"Oh?"

Jon's interest grew.

First it was the end of the world, then the monsters, and now other species are being brought up?!

"Could it be aliens?" he asked. "Can you tell me in detail what it is?"

"It's a lot of talk, but I don't have the energy, old man."

Morgan smiled and took a bunch of keys off his neck with difficulty.

“Go to my study. No, it should be called Mark’s study now.

Everything you want to know is there.

With your intelligence, you will definitely find the secret room.

of course.

This key can also open the core area of ​​the lighthouse.

Once you see it, you’ll understand everything.”

Jon took the key but didn't leave immediately.

After a pause, he asked, "Why do you trust me so much?"

"Because I can see that no one can stand up to you on this lighthouse."

Some people become more evil as they get older.

Although Morgan is stubborn, he has an extremely sharp vision.

Charles is his biological son, so he is not that wary of Charles.

Jon is different.

In the old man's eyes, Jon is a shadow hidden in the dark!

But then again.

He actually admired people like Jon.

Ambitious and patient.

More importantly, have ideas and be smart enough!

Morgan waved his hand, “Go ahead, don’t bother me.

If I can survive this time, I will apply for a 'long journey'.

Ha ha.

You have to strictly abide by the rules you set yourself."

Jon said nothing.

Silence replaced farewell.

Holding the key bunch, he walked out of the ward area and came to the city lord's study.

Coincidentally, Ran Bing was also packing here.

"Hello." Jon greeted generously.

After more than two months of land reclamation, he and the only white-haired creature in the lighthouse had become close enough.

"Counselor Jon."

Ran Bing responded with full energy.

Then, she looked at the key in Jon's hand in confusion, "What are these?"

Jon spoke truthfully, "The old city lord said that he has some secrets that cannot be known to others, and he wants me to inherit them."

Ran Bing: ???

Jon smiled and said, “Are you interested in going with me to take a look?

Or bring your boyfriend along?"

"I'd better forget it. Consultant Jon, please go ahead. I'm going to look for Mark."

Ran Bing curled the corners of his mouth and suppressed his curiosity with self-awareness.

Jon nodded secretly.

Evaluation: a well-behaved 19-year-old girl.

After watching Ran Bing leave the study, Jon began to look for the so-called entrance to the secret room on the wall.

Just as Morgan said, the secret room is not hard to find.

'Click'

The mechanism is on.

The bookshelf moved, revealing a door.

Jon was too lazy to use the key, so he just used his own stand ability to open the door.

Enter the secret room.

He looked through all of Morgan's diaries over the years in detail.

From the establishment of the lighthouse to the formulation of the 'Three Major Laws'.

Every transaction records Morgan's inner struggle and torment.

Jon couldn't help but be moved.

As Morgan himself said, the lighthouse was originally just an aerial prison, and it took countless arduous battles to become what it is today.

He scratched his brow, left the city lord's study, and headed to the 'Energy and Operation Center', the core area of ​​the lighthouse.

The lighthouse once relied on the 'energy and computing center' to maintain normal operation and plan future routes.

There, he saw a dark gray brain

——A brain cut in half and filled with countless wires and electronic components.

In other words, the main AI of the lighthouse is actually an alien or some other monster!

"Interesting, really interesting~"

Jon's eyes widened slightly, a pleased smile forming on his lips.

According to Morgan's Diary, he knew that this brain could simultaneously observe the position and momentum of microscopic particles, but he still could not understand how it worked.

It once told the lighthouse information, allowing the lighthouse to survive to this day.

When it was still functioning normally, the Sky Prison relied on him to know the time of the disaster in advance and successfully escaped.

Later, Morgan and his team used it to deduce the future of mankind, trying to find a way to fight against the Mana Ecology, but the answer it gave was a symbol and formula that humans could not understand.

The only thing that can be interpreted is one coordinate.

The first city lord immediately went to the coordinates and found a baby there.

This child is Mark!

Therefore, the reason why Mark must serve as the city lord has been found.

He is the legendary son of prophecy and the future of mankind!

Jon felt it was very ridiculous.

Wow, they are the reincarnations of Indra and Asura, right?

The one and only Joey Boy, huh?

The descendants of Quincy, Shinigami and Hollows, right?

I have made the theory of bloodline clear to you.

For some reason, after learning about the setting of the "brain in a vat", Jon was inexplicably excited. But after learning that Mark was the legendary son of prophecy who could only save mankind, he lost interest.

"Is there some conspiracy here? I feel like this brain has bad intentions."

Jon touched his smooth chin.

"The first city lord and Morgan are indeed too credulous. With a little sweetness, they believe in each other 100%. What if Mark is not the hope of saving mankind, but the source of human destruction?"

and many more.

Why does this setting have a sense of déjà vu?

Emmmmm

understood.

"Pacific Rim"

If another portal appears later that only the Devouring Beast can pass through and Mark has to blow it up, then Jon will be extremely disappointed with this world.

Forget it.

Let’s ignore that for now.

Counting the days on my fingers, there are only two weeks left until the main body arrives.

As long as we can survive these two weeks, all conspiracies and tricks will be nothing in the face of absolute strength!

Thoughts are clear.

Jon put his hands in his pockets and walked briskly out of the Energy and Computing Center.

the other side.

'Central Command Room'.

"Report to the Lighthouse, this is the Wasteland Hunter Team 1, I am Commander Mo Cheng, we have safely entered the resource collection point, everything is going well, over."

"Okay, Mo Cheng, this is the Lighthouse Central Command Room. Please collect resources according to the original plan and pay attention to safety."

Jingnan crossed his arms across his chest, looking a little nervous.

At this time, Mark, who was not supposed to be in the central command room, suddenly interrupted and said, "Mocheng, always pay attention to the concentration of 'scarlet pigment'. If the situation is not right, please evacuate immediately!

After all, you are the Lighthouse's only hope."

"I understand, Captain Mark. No, I mean, Lord Mayor." Mo Cheng smiled easily.

This was the first time he led a hunting team to the ground to collect supplies.

Moreover, he was entrusted with an important task as soon as he took office, and he couldn't let down at the critical moment!

Sometimes it's just like that.

The more you don't want something to happen, the more it will come.

Originally, everything was fine, and resource recycling and collection were going very smoothly.

But as luck would have it, a beast sleeping underground suddenly woke up.

When it spotted humans, it immediately let out a shrill roar.
