In the early morning, as the bubbles covering the entire island spread sunshine and air evenly like breathing, residents who had had a day off began to get busy. Some people hurriedly opened the doors of their small shops, canteens, tea rooms, pubs, entertainment and video games. .

More people rushed into the largest pharmaceutical factory in the town. This was the most common and most suitable job on the island. Not only did it pay well, but there was also an internal discount for buying medicines.

Through yesterday's exchange, Sean had already learned the names and jobs of the couple. The man used to be the security team leader of a pharmaceutical factory, and now uses his savings to open a canteen. The woman also works in a pharmaceutical factory and is a front-line worker.

Early this morning, before dawn, the hostess had already gone out to work. In order to grab the special medicines inside the factory, she had to queue up an hour in advance to collect them.

"Do you really not need our help? Although I am not very proficient, I have been on the sea for many years and I am quite familiar with the treatment of some diseases."

Sean looked at the busy old man and recommended himself.

"Guests, please don't bother. Our place was once compared with medical governance. Their doctors have superb medical skills, and the medicines we have here are very effective."

The old man kept talking about the glorious history of this island. Due to the unique geographical location, some of the medicines they grew here had gone through a series of chemical configurations, and the effect would be better than medicines produced in other places. This has also become the name of this island. As the island's main source of income, residents have joined pharmaceutical factories one after another. Not only do they have stable jobs but also high incomes.

"It's a pity that ten years ago, for some reason, people on this island got sick. There were all kinds of diseases. Some could get better with some medicine, and many others could only rely on medicine to maintain their lives. That is From that point on, it became more and more closed off.”

The old man heated up the boiled eggs and bread bought yesterday, placed them on the table in front of Sean and others, and sighed.

"Haven't you ever looked for the World Government? I remember this should be a Union Republic?"

Sean took a bite of the egg, which was soft, glutinous and sweet. As they said, everything that lives here will become good.

The old man hesitated for a moment, then came over and explained in a low voice.

"I have reported it, and there have been medical investigation teams sent by the World Government every year. However, since the last group of people died here unexpectedly three years ago, the World Government has not come here again, but our heavenly gold has been exempted. , and there is no shortage of medicine sales, so life is pretty decent."

Kella glanced around in confusion, and asked with a sneer: "You all live in a place like this, do you think you are living a good life?"

"The child is sick and needs to keep buying special medicine to maintain his health. There is no other way."

If it hadn't been for the gold coins given by these people yesterday, I might have stopped taking the medicine today.

After breakfast, and declining the old man's suggestion to take them on a trip, Sean took the two little girls to the town's tavern to inquire about the news.

"Sean, why does this place feel weird?"

Kerra and baby5 each held Sean's hand and asked playfully.

"It seems that their life is pretty good, and there are no conflicts. If I hadn't known that Brother Tagore was trapped here, I would have never imagined how dangerous it would be."

Sean was also a little confused. Maybe he needed to find Jinbei to answer this question.

When we arrived at the tavern, it was probably still early. There were only a few customers drinking in twos and threes in the large space. A dignified-looking proprietress was taking a nap at the bar. When Sean walked in, there was a series of crisp bells. Breaking the silence here.

"We have guests? What do you need?"

The landlady was awakened by the sound of the bell and asked sleepily.

"A glass of single malt whiskey."

The proprietress heard the sound and looked around, only to find that besides Sean there were two little Gaba beans. She said angrily: "There are no drinks for children here. Why not go to Mrs. Mai's dessert shop? Then There are juices and sparkling drinks, just turn left two blocks away and you’ll see them.”

"We are not children anymore."

"That's right, that's right, you're already 16 years old."

Kerra and baby5 tried their best to prove that they could drink, but unfortunately they were suppressed by Sean and were driven to a corner where they were left alone with a glass of boiled water.

Sitting at the bar, drinking whiskey, Sean and the landlady chatted casually about what was new in the past few days.

"Are the guests from outside? This island has not seen outside travelers for a long time."

"Why? The scenery here is beautiful."

Sean glanced condescendingly, she was also very beautiful.

When the lady boss saw Sean's eyes, she not only did not hide away, but raised her chest, explaining: "People on this island often get sick, but they can't find the reason. Some people say it's because we are cursed."

"Is it so scary? I'm even more curious."

Sean drank all the wine in his glass and joked with the landlady.

"I have seen a lot of things. The four seas, the Grand Line, the New World, there is nothing special anywhere."

The landlady rolled her eyes at him and pulled up her sleeves to reveal her white arms.

As the sleeves gradually disappeared, a large red spot suddenly appeared on the white skin, which was extremely dazzling.

"Did you see it? Erythema, one of the 19 most common diseases on this island, needs to be suppressed by long-term medication No. 6, otherwise it will quickly spread throughout the body and make life worse than death."

The landlady's voice was still sweet, but her tone was a little deeper.

"Guests should not stay here for more than three days, otherwise they will be unable to leave even if they want to. Some special medicines are only sold here."

Sean was indifferent. According to Aaron, they also encountered danger on the third day after entering here. Could it be that there was some trigger? Would a simple disease be so punctual?

"Madam boss, I just came here today. Even if I have to leave, there are still two days left. I want another glass of your specialty wine."

Leaving a gold coin at the bar, Sean casually inquired and asked: "You said I am the only tourist who has come in the past few years? I don't think this place is completely closed. How come no one comes?"

The landlady looked at the gold coin for a long time, blew on it and put it to her ear.

"It's such an unforgettable sound. Every time I hear it, it feels like the bells of heaven are ringing. I really hope I can use this to accompany me to sleep for the rest of my life."

Sean was about to continue asking when he was startled by the landlady's answer: "The customer is looking for someone, right? Is he looking for the pink fish man? Or the blue fish man, or those weird fish Where are the people?”
