The ship carried Rulu and the others straight towards the Huaxia Nation. No accidents occurred along the way. A few days later, the ship had arrived in the sea area surrounding the Huaxia Nation. Rulu gathered information from the ship that it would arrive at Blue Sea City the next morning.
Late that night, Rulu and the others quietly left the ship. W.W. used her Magic Psionic power to create a small island made of ice. She controlled the ice island to carry everyone and fly rapidly through the air over the ocean, heading in the direction of Blue Sea City.
"We're finally back... It really wasn't easy!" Kallen breathed heavily the fresh air above the ocean. At the thought of returning to Blue Sea City soon, she couldn't help but show a joyful smile on her face.
With a look of leisurely longing on her face, Shari said, "Thinking about what happened the past few days, it feels like I'm dreaming." Speaking of this, she unconsciously looked back at the wings on her back and added, "But even now, I still feel like I'm dreaming."
Nana looked around uneasily and said, "Are we safe now? Will those people from the Sanctuary chase us here?"
Rulu said, "It's possible. Those people from the Sanctuary should know that we came from Blue Sea City, and Blue Sea City is the Sanctuary's territory. We can't rule out the possibility that the Sanctuary might send people to ambush us around Blue Sea City to capture us."
Hearing this, Kallen immediately became tense. She said, "If that's really the case, wouldn't returning to Blue Sea City be like throwing ourselves into the net?"
Rulu said, "That's why we can't go straight back to Blue Sea City."
"If we don't go to Blue Sea City, then where are we going?"
Rulu thought for a moment and said, "I heard that on a private island around Blue Sea City, there is a private villa. This villa has been abandoned for a long time and hasn't been lived in for ages. We can go there and stay for a while."
After hearing Rulu's words, Shari seemed to have thought of something. She said, "I've also heard of that house. I heard that several murders once happened there; it's a famous haunted house. The owner of the house has always wanted to sell it, but because many people died in this house, no one has ever been willing to buy it. So, the house has just been left vacant there, with no one living in it."
Rulu said, "That's right, it is that house. I heard the owner has lived abroad for a long time, and the house has always been left unattended. In addition, that small island is a long distance from the mainland, and no ships pass through the sea area around there, so very few people would go to that island. It's an excellent hiding place for us."
Shari showed a fearful look on her face and said, "But many people have died in that house. Will we encounter danger if we go there?"
Rulu smiled and said, "You don't need to worry, Shari. No matter how dangerous it is, it can't be as dangerous as the Sanctuary. Besides, you are no longer an ordinary person, Shari. Even if there are tigers and lions on that island, they wouldn't be able to hurt you."
Shari was taken aback. She unconsciously touched her face and, with a self-deprecating smile, said, "Oh right, I'm no longer human. If others saw me the way I look now, they would definitely treat me like a monster."
Rulu said, "You don't need to care about how others see you, Shari. But unless it's necessary, it's better for you not to casually come into contact with human society."
Looking sad, Shari said, "Then does that mean I can't see my family anymore? If my parents see me like this, will they feel sad and scared?"
"Uh, about that... I don't think they would," Rulu said in an uncertain tone.
Nana comforted Shari, saying, "I think no matter what you turn into, Shari, your parents will accept you. Even if they don't accept you at first, given enough time, they will slowly accept you."
"I hope so," Shari muttered.
Rulu and the others didn't go straight to Blue Sea City. Instead, they began searching for that uninhabited island and the villa on the ocean. Just as the sun was rising, they found the small island. They saw that it was an island covered by dense forests. In a higher elevated area near the center of the island, a large white villa was faintly nestled.
W.W. controlled the ice island to land near this white villa. Rulu and the others first circled the villa several times. After confirming that there was no one around the villa, they sneaked inside through the villa's windowsill and began exploring around the interior.
They found that the villa was fully equipped with all kinds of facilities and furniture. There were sofas, TVs, computers, a basement, an entertainment hall, and so on. The villa was also equipped with an independent power generation room and a reservoir, and it was even connected to the internet. It could be said to be a very luxurious vacation home.
It was just that the villa looked like it hadn't been lived in for a long time, with the floor and furniture covered in dust. In addition, just as the rumors said, there was no other human activity on this small island, and no ships could be seen in the sea area around it.
After investigating the situation of this villa and the small island, Rulu and the others decided to stay here. They started cleaning the house. After a day of cleaning and tidying up, the inside of the villa became much cleaner and neater. That night, after Rulu and the others had dinner and took a shower, they gathered in the living room to discuss future plans.
Kallen said, "Rulu, tell us the next plan. How long are we going to stay here, and when will we return to Blue Sea City?"
Rulu said, "I have already thought about this matter. Kallen, tomorrow you and I will head back to Blue Sea City first to check out the situation. The others will stay here for the time being."
Kallen said, "That sounds like a good idea. With just the two of us, even if we encounter enemies in Blue Sea City, we can still escape."
Shari said, "Actually, I also really want to go back to Blue Sea City. Why don't I go back to Blue Sea City with you guys tomorrow? I have the ability to protect myself now."
Rulu said, "No, your appearance is too eye-catching, Shari. If you return to Blue Sea City, it will definitely cause a huge commotion."
Shari said, "Then let's wait until the dead of night, and we can quietly go back. I just want to see my parents and won't let anyone else see me. That should be fine, right?"
Rulu said, "But can you guarantee that your parents won't have a huge reaction after seeing you, Shari? If they call the police or tell others about you, then you will immediately make the news headlines—'An unidentified humanoid creature appears in Blue Sea City, with six wings growing on its back. It is suspected to be a creature from the Sanctuary that has escaped to the outside world...'"
Shari said, "It wouldn't be that serious, would it? Then... then I'll just stay here."
