Chapter 75 Just Trust Me
"I can't do this kind of thing." Saul refused very simply, without any hesitation.

Garland smiled, and didn't seem surprised by Saul's answer. He took out a dagger from behind him, and then asked, "What if I do something to you? Just treat it as self-protection, so that there will be no psychological burden."

"You..." Saul was speechless for a moment, "...why did you do this to me? Tell me, what did I do wrong?" He looked at Garland with grief, and a little grievance in his eyes. It seemed that even the morning sun in the distance was covered with a heavy shadow and became dim.

Garland was a little surprised, it was the first time he saw such an expression in Saul's eyes, "I..."

However, before he finished speaking, the next second, he felt a sharp pain on his left cheek.

Saul took advantage of Garland's distraction and slammed Garland's face with a right uppercut, knocking the latter to the ground. The punch didn't stay strong.

Garland was lying on the ground, dizzy for a while, his left cheek was burning with pain, and the dagger fell aside.

Saul took a deep breath, stepped forward, grabbed Garland's collar with both hands, lifted the latter up, looked at the latter's eyes with different colors, and asked in a deep voice: "Have you forgotten what you said? You said that if even the few of us don't help each other, then on this isolated island, who would care about our lives?"

After finishing speaking, he dragged Garland to Kerry's tombstone, pressed Garland's head on the tombstone, and let Garland's eyes look at Kerry's name engraved on the wooden tombstone, "Have you forgotten Kerry's painting? What kind of life does he want? Are you worthy of him? What did you tell me just now? You want to die, want to be buried with them, and let me do it. I ask you, I regard you as a friend, what do you regard me as? A tool without emotion and inhumanity?"

Garland looked at Kerry's name on the tombstone. Each word was engraved heavily. This was his engraved words. He stretched out his hand and touched the name on the tombstone, and the pain from the past surged in his heart again.

Saul let go of his hands, took a deep breath, and took two steps back, "Yes, I kill people without blinking an eye. Do you think this is what I want to do? Don't I want to lie down comfortably and spend my days like a gambler like Regis every day? But no, because I found that the sky is falling, and someone has to support it. If you can't stand it, then I will do it. I must get two tickets to leave the island, so I worked my life for the inspector, helped him solve his troubles, and ran around the island like a mad dog. go."

He spread his hands and panted slightly, "Then you told me that you don't want to live anymore just because one eye changed color?" He raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at Garland's left eye, "Just because your left eye changed from blue to red? You don't want to live anymore?"

He exhaled lightly and whispered, "I look down on you."

Garland lowered his head and did not answer.

"It's come to this point anyway, so I'll tell you directly." Saul tried his best to calm himself down, but the anger in his voice still couldn't be hidden. "Even if you commit suicide, even if you jump into the sea, I will take your body to the boat and leave this island for no other reason. What I want to do, I must do. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

silence.

Neither of them spoke again.

Garland sat in front of Kerry's grave with his head buried in his knees, not knowing what to think.

Time passed by, and the morning sun had risen, but the light became even dimmer. The black mist above Stewart Island blocked the sun, and only a little glimmer of light occasionally appeared, adding a little color to this isolated island that was already shrouded in disaster.

Saul turned his head to glance at the sparkling sea level in the distance, then turned his head back, and softly shouted in a calm voice: "Garland."

Garland raised his head slowly, with a very puzzled expression.

"Just trust me." Saul took a step forward and extended his right hand to Garland, "You only need to do one thing, and that is to try to survive, and leave the rest to me."

Looking at Saul in front of him, Garland felt both familiar and unfamiliar. The familiarity was because of his appearance and figure, and the strangeness was because he seemed to have never felt such a dazzling soul before. Looking at Saul's confident expression, for some reason, he felt that even the light was much brighter.

He stretched out his right hand to hold it, feeling the strength of the opponent's palm. At this moment, he found that his heart, which was worried about gains and losses, suddenly became peaceful.

Last night, he was always worried that he would become like Regis, that he would harm Saul, and might even affect Saul’s ticket. Now, he realized that his idea was completely wrong. This idea of ​​not causing trouble to others is the biggest trouble in itself, because Saul is his friend.

Sauer was in the past, and so is Saul now.

Saul pulled Garland up vigorously. Then, he patted the dirt on Garland's body, picked up the blindfold on the ground, and handed it to Garland, "I still need a little camouflage. I asked the commander last night. He said that the Stewart will be repaired as soon as tonight, and we will be able to leave the island by then."

"Sorry, I care too much about the past and worry about the future." Garland apologized softly, "You are right, the most important thing I should do is to try to survive, but you still need to be careful about me."

Saul nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I know..."

As he said that, he looked behind Garland. For some reason, he felt a black mist not far behind Garland. Although the black mist was relatively thin, he could still see it clearly.

He looked up at the sky, and then turned his head to look at the direction of the entrance of the mine. The black mist was still floating into the air from the entrance of the mine.

Garland also noticed this. He followed Saul's line of sight and saw the black mist as well.

The black mist is slowly drifting towards the location of the two of them. No, strictly speaking, it is spreading outward from the mine. Since the mine is located in the middle of the island, and the miners' living area, trading market, and garrison of the island corps are all in the lower position, if the black mist does not rise but sinks, it will naturally cover all living areas on the island.

"Let's go." Although it is not clear what the black mist is, since it is something that came out of the mine, it is very likely that it is not simple.

After finishing speaking, Saul turned and ran towards the station, followed by Garland.

After returning to the station, Sauer told the commander and inspector of the situation of the black mist, and the commander immediately sent soldiers to check.

It didn't take long for the soldiers to return to the station with good news and bad news.

The bad news is that the black fog is very dangerous. The seabirds that accidentally touched the black fog all fell into the sea after passing through the black fog, and the black fog is indeed spreading towards the station. The good news is that the spreading speed is not fast, and it is expected to spread to the station in the afternoon.

"It seems that we can only ship ahead of time." The commander frowned when he heard the news.
