Chapter 52 Tom looks at the camera
The next morning, the three of them got ready and applied invisible ink on their bodies.
It feels okay when applied on the arms and legs, but it feels weird when applied on the face and hair. Fortunately, this stuff is as smooth as shower gel, and it becomes invisible wherever you apply it.
From Zhang Daya's perspective, Tom and Altria's hands stained with ink disappeared first, and as they moved, their entire bodies disappeared bit by bit like a stick figure being erased with an eraser, and of course the same happened to him as well.
After everyone became invisible, Zhang Da also discovered a problem: "After becoming invisible, we can't see each other."
Not only can you not see others, you can't even see your own body. In this situation, it's like doing actions with your eyes closed. Without the aid of vision, many actions cannot be completed accurately. For example, after closing your eyes put your hands flat and extend your index fingers. It is difficult to make the fingertips touch each other smoothly every time.
Zhang Day also curiously circled left three times, right three times, twisted his neck and butt, thinking that even if he danced the Compendium of Materia Medica on the spot, no one would be able to see it, right?
I took two tentative steps forward, and suddenly felt my feet go soft, and then I heard a scream:
"Ah!!!!" It was Tom's voice. His feet were crushed, but no one could see it.
"Tom?" Zhang Da also quickly raised his feet, groped with both hands to find Tom's head, then groped along his neck to his armpits, lifted Tom up and placed him in front of his eyes... Well, he couldn't see Tom's condition at all.
"What are you doing? Why are you stepping on my feet? It hurts !" Tom was so aggrieved that he covered his mouth and blew air. For some reason, the air went all the way to his feet, making his toes swell up.
Although he still didn't like to talk, Tom chose to endure it now that no one could see him and he couldn't convey his meaning through expressions and actions.
"Sorry, sorry, I can't see. Why don't you squat on my shoulders?" Zhang Da also put him on his shoulder.
"Hit!" It was just a step on his foot, and Tom chose to forgive him.
"So where are you, Altria?" Zhang Da didn't dare to move now.
Then Altria accurately grasped Zhang Daye's wrist and said, "It's about time I teach you the technique of sensing aura."
"Great, it's so convenient to be able to sense other people's positions and movements." Zhang Da also felt that this was almost no different from ordinary observation Haki.
Altria's voice continued from the side: "It is indeed very convenient. I even saw the dance moves you just made."
"..." Zhang Da couldn't see her expression, but he was still awkwardly standing there. It was over... He was socially dead...
Who invented this crappy perception skill? It's an invasion of other people's privacy!
…
The Population Auction House is located at GR No. 1, not far to the northwest of GR No. 59 where Zhang Daye is located.
The distribution of island numbers in the Chabaotier Archipelago hand-drawn by the author can be found in the previous Easter egg chapter.
Some islands that seem to have very different numbers are actually not that far away. They can just walk there. Riding a bubble car will be seen as unmanned in the eyes of others and may easily scare people.
Perception is not something that can be learned in a short period of time. Now Altria can only hold Zhang Daye's wrist and walk among the pedestrians to avoid getting lost and bumping into people.
To be honest, the feeling of being invisible is quite novel. Even if you walk past others in a swagger, no one will notice.
As for the problem of shadows being unable to become invisible, with so many people on the street, who would notice a few more shadows? Just be careful to stand in the shadows of the trees when you do your work later.
As he entered the illegal area, Zhang Da immediately felt that the atmosphere was different.
There are many run-down shops on the edge of the town. Some of the signs at the door only have one nail left, hanging at an angle. Some doors are only half-open. The most terrifying thing is that a skeleton is nailed to the door of a shop with a long knife. (I am not exaggerating, there is such a scene in the anime)
"Is this the lawless area?" Artoria had seen big scenes, so she wasn't that shocked. It was just that the scene before her was in stark contrast to where she had lived these days.
"Really?" Zhang Da had never been here before. After all, anime is a passionate youth comic, and the pictures in it can be said to be beautified.
As they went deeper into the cave, they had to remain silent because there were more and more people on the road.
Most of them carry weapons and look at people with vigilance in their eyes. Most of these people are pirates, human traffickers and bounty hunters. Except for those with obvious pirate group logos on their bodies, it is difficult to directly distinguish their identities.
As Altria passed by fierce men one after another, Tom on Zhang Da's shoulder trembled, but he soon realized that others could not see him, and his movements gradually became more arrogant:
Put your hands in front of people's eyes and shake them, pull your eyelids and stick out your tongue to make faces, or even use the tip of your tail to tickle other people's nostrils.
"A-choo!" A man wearing a pirate captain's hat sneezed, and the hat jumped off his head. He wiped his nose nonchalantly, and looked up to see a bald man with saliva all over his face looking at him angrily.
Zhang Da didn't know what Tom had done. He just saw two people picking up knives and fighting because of a sneeze. He sighed in his heart that they were worthy of being people from the lawless area. Their tempers were like a powder keg that could explode at any time.
Knowing the truth, Altria looked in Tom's direction, shook her head and said nothing.
Tom, the person involved, turned his head to look at the camera which no one could notice, shrugged and spread his hands, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
After leaving this area, Zhang Da also discovered that not every place in the lawless zone is so chaotic. There are also civilians living in some places, restaurants, bars, various shops and even high-end-looking hospitals.
If we hadn't heard the occasional gunshots, we wouldn't have known we were in a lawless area.
Ordinary people seemed to be able to tell from the sound of gunfire that they were very far away from where they were, and they continued to walk and talk leisurely, as if someone had just set off a string of firecrackers.
Zhang Da could neither imagine nor adapt to such a ridiculous situation, and he subconsciously wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
Altria whispered, "There are no signs of Celestial Dragons nearby."
Zhang Da also suggested: "Let's go directly to GR No. 1 and wait. If the Celestial Dragons come, they will definitely go there."
This is GR No. 2, and you will reach it in a short walk.
The building in the middle of GR No. 1 is the most conspicuous on the entire island. There are four spires around it. I don’t know if they are lookouts or something else. There are two guards standing at the door. There is a wooden sign hanging above the gate with "HUMAN" written on it.
Zhang Da also looked at the tall building and said, "This is the human auction house. Oh, yes, the official name is the 'Employment Security Office'."
Using the most beautiful names to cover up the ugliest transactions.
