Working Prophet

Li Yu glanced at the fifty fathoms on his wrist. It had been two and a half hours since he boarded the seaplane, and he could no longer see the coast behind him.

He got up before seven o'clock this morning and went out. It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when he arrived in Sydney, and then he took a seaplane for more than two hours.

At this time, the time on the watch showed 10:45 at night, and it was already past zero when converted into local time.

However, he had already eaten and slept on the plane, so he didn't feel tired or hungry.

He looked through the porthole and saw that there was only darkness below him. Fortunately, the wind and waves on the sea were not very strong tonight, and the plane was not particularly bumpy. It kept flying at an altitude of about 700 meters.

Twenty minutes later, Li Yu finally saw a little light on the sea ahead.

You can vaguely see the outline of a small island.

At this time, the plane also began to gradually lower its height, and finally landed on the water smoothly. The buoys brought up two strings of white waves, which separated to both sides.

Not long after the plane landed, Li Yu saw a small wooden boat rowing towards here.

There were three people on the boat, a boatman in charge of driving the boat, a man about sixty years old wearing a black tuxedo, holding a kerosene lantern in his hand, and a teenage boy wearing a small round hat on his head.

The small wooden boat quickly arrived in front of the plane. The man in the tuxedo was the first to speak, "Welcome to Neverland, Mr. Li Yu. I am your butler Ralph. I will be responsible for your daily life during your vacation on the island. No matter what you encounter, You can come to me with any questions.”

Then he pointed to the boy and the boatman beside him and said, "This is the resort's doorman Holt. You can get off the boat directly and just leave your luggage to Holt. Boatman Matt, in addition to picking up guests, he also Responsible for catching fresh seafood for the resort.”

Holt raised his round hat at Li Yu, and Matt nodded to Li Yu.

After Li Yu got off the plane and got on the ship, Holt also skillfully climbed up the gangway of the plane, went to the rear of the cabin to take out Li Yu's suitcase, and then quietly returned to the ship. His movements were very agile. , like a little monkey.

"It's already very late today. Let me take you to your room to rest first. The tour and introduction can wait until tomorrow." Ralph said.

"Okay." Li Yu had actually slept enough on the plane and was not very sleepy at the moment, but he also wanted to check out the room first.

The small wooden boat rowed to the beach, and a sightseeing car was parked not far away. As soon as Holt got off the boat, he picked up his luggage and ran to drive.

Ralph was still by Li Yu's side, holding a kerosene lamp to light him.

Li Yu chatted with him as he walked forward, "Did you just say that this island is called Neverland?"

"Yes, because it can give you a dreamlike experience." Ralph said.

"I have had a dream-like experience, and I don't think there is any experience that can be more dream-like."

"Oh, are you talking about plane travel?"

Li Yu raised his eyebrows.

Ralph smiled and said, "You don't need to be surprised. I am different from Noah and the two pilots you met before. Like you, I am an employee of the third era.

"This island and everything on the island are the company's assets. It is only open to internal employees of the company and does not accept external tourists.

“In addition to avoiding unnecessary trouble, this regulation is also designed to allow vacationers to relax without any pretense.

"So you don't have to talk to me in English anymore, I know you can understand all languages ​​and can communicate with everyone without any barriers in just your native language."

"If you are willing, you can now show off those magical means that cannot be shown outside.

"Holt has always envied and admired you. He told me that there is nothing cooler in this world than interdimensional travel, and you all have special skills, just like superheroes. This kid I'm a big fan of yours.

"For the guests who came last month, he could lift the sightseeing car with one hand. There was also a family of three during the New Year. Even their several-month-old child could control the metal with his mind."

When Ralph said this, Holt's eyes also lit up. Although he had already started the sightseeing car, he did not drive it. Instead, he looked at Li Yu eagerly.

Seeing this, Li Yu stretched out a finger and tapped his head lightly.

Holt looked expectant, but after half a minute, nothing happened. The doorman's eyes gradually became confused. He even turned his head and looked around to see if anything else had changed. .

However, everything around him was no different from before.

In the end, it was Ralph who resolved the somewhat awkward atmosphere, "Okay, Holt, Mr. Li Yu is very tired after a long journey tonight. We'd better not disturb him anymore."

The doorman nodded and finally started to concentrate on driving.

The oncoming sea breeze had a salty smell, but it was quite comfortable. After driving for about ten minutes, Holt arrived at his destination - a lagoon villa.

The so-called lagoon refers to a lake formed by a shallow bay closed by sediment, which can be connected to the sea during high tide.

The entire villa covers an area of ​​about 300 square meters. In addition to the bedrooms, there is a small bar, a living room, a private cinema and entertainment room, a gym, a swimming pool, and a terrace.

When you come to the terrace, the lake is opposite. It should be beautiful during the day, but it's night and you can't see much.

Li Yu was very satisfied with the living environment. Ralph saw that it was very late and said nothing. After wishing him a good night, he got on the small sightseeing car again and disappeared into the night in a short while.

After the two left, Li Yu took out his mobile phone and took a few photos of the room, then took a shower and changed into a bathrobe.

But there was still no sleepiness, so Li Yu went to the bar to find some drinks, sat on the terrace, and drank while listening to the sound of the lake.

He googled Neverland on his phone, but most of the results pointed to the Maldives.

Li Yu didn't find Neverland near Sydney on the Internet. He wasn't surprised. Ralph made it very clear that this place is the property of the company and is not open to outside tourists.

Fortunately, there was no problem with the Internet here. Li Yu even searched for a local radio station, but the female host of that program seemed to be talking about the National Party and the Labor Party.

Li Yu didn't care too much, and changed the channel after listening to it for a while.

The one I found this time should be a non-governmental radio station. It didn't sound so serious. It was a few people chatting about the rumors of sea monsters that appeared recently.
