"Heh, so you don't know how we contact the hideout?"
"No wonder you said something about a 'contact item' just now. What a joke."
"Hahaha, looks like you really aren't one of the Pirate Emperor's men."
"I was wondering. The Island Lord's Residence is the most defiant faction on East Pole Island. How could they possibly treat one of the Pirate Emperor's men as an honored guest?"
Hearing One-Eye's words, Lin Yuan frowned slightly.
He felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the intelligence Steward Liu had given him.
Sure enough, One-Eye laughed heartily.
"You got your intelligence from the Island Lord's Residence, didn't you?"
"With their strength and manpower, there's no way they can get the latest intelligence. Your information is outdated!"
"Now we don't rely on items to contact the hideout. We use this!"
As he spoke, One-Eye pointed at his head.
"Your minds? No! You've been modified by the Crawlers!"
Lin Yuan realized it immediately.
"You're pretty quick," One-Eye said with a low chuckle. "Those Crawlers really do have some tricks. They actually turned the contact items we used before into human organs and stuffed them into our brains."
"So as long as I'm alive, I can contact the hideout."
"But anyone else hoping to use this to find the hideout is dreaming!"
"You can torture me too, and see whether I'll talk!"
One-Eye laughed heartily, seemingly taking great pleasure in dashing Lin Yuan's hopes.
He had long known he would not survive, but what Great Pirate feared death? All he wanted was to see Lin Yuan's shock, fury, and frustration before he died.
But to his disappointment, Lin Yuan did not lose his composure. Instead, he looked thoughtful.
This fellow is probably telling the truth. The Crawlers do have this kind of technology.
