Chapter 195: Choice
In the dark stairwell, Charles staggered and rushed down with the crew, his face was anxious.
"Click" stuck out the muzzle from the bottom of the stairs, making Charles stop.
The eyes of those people were filled with deep hostility, as if he would pull the trigger if he took another step.
Charles with the vertical scar looked at himself at the top of the stairs, and said sharply, "I don't care whether you are a derivative copied from 1344 or another Charles from a parallel time, this is my world, please go back."
Panting, Charles opened his hands to show that he didn't intend to do anything. "I just ask you one thing, I'll go back after I've asked."
Charles held Lily in his hands and showed it to him. "Have you ever seen this talking mouse?!"
Charles with the vertical scar slowly shook his head, "No."
"Very good. Odrett, give me the drawing paper on your body." Charles took the pen and paper from the vampire,
Charles pressed the pen on the drawing paper and paused for a while, but he looked at Lily on one shoulder, and quickly drew on the wall next to him.
Dipper looked warily at the vertical scar below and Charles asked in a low voice, "Captain, we need to paint. Let's go back and paint again. This place is very dangerous."
"Quiet!"
Charles, with a dignified face, finished drawing quickly, crumpled the paper, and threw it down the stairs.
Charles with the vertical scar opened the ball of paper with a little surprise on his face. Inside was a stick figure of a cute little girl.
"Did you see this man when you were on Coral Island?" Charles asked nervously.
Charles with the vertical scar took a closer look, then handed the paper to the other crew members beside him. In the end, it was James who spoke. Due to the decline in intelligence, his phrases were very childish, but they could barely express meaning.
"I've seen it. A man posted a picture of her in Monica's shop. He said he was looking for his daughter, but he stopped looking. Some people said that his daughter fell into the sea."
Charles' pupils shrank slightly when he heard this. This is a key fragment, and in this way, everything is connected.
He held Lily in his hands, looked into those big eyes and said, "Do you want to go home?"
Lily looked up at him, "Of course I did, there was already a Lily in the family at that time."
Charles shook his head, "Actually, you are wrong. That is not your home. You are Lily in their world. Your home is over there."
After turning around awkwardly, Lily looked at Charles with the vertical scar under the stairs, her voice trembling. "I... I am their Lily?"
Charles nodded firmly. This also explains the reason why the Narwhal on the opposite side has no Lily, because their Lily ran to another world and became their own gunner.
The Lily who stayed on Coral Island is real, and the mouse Lily came to another parallel world.
There was hesitation in the eyes of Charles with the vertical scar. He didn't know what the hell the other party was doing, and what kind of actions the other party was talking about.
Lily's little paws were tightly clenched into a ball, and her face was full of hesitation. "Mr. Charles, then... what should I do?"
Charles exhaled slowly and looked at her calmly. "This matter is your business. I respect your choice. If you want to go home, you can go with them. Your parents are waiting for you over there. As long as you go there, you can go home."
As soon as the words came out, Charles felt envious.
Lily lowered her head and struggled all over her face. This matter was beyond her imagination, and she didn't know what to do at this time.
"Then...then if I go back, will I still be able to see Mr. Charles?" Lily asked.
Charles shook his head, "If you really come back, don't come here. DE1344 is very dangerous. If you can't get close, try not to get close."
"Mr. Charles, but I can't bear you..." Lily held Charles' hand and began to cry.
"Don't cry, there is Charles on the other side." Charles said.
"That's different..."
"Hey, what are you going to do?" Charles with the vertical scar became a little impatient.
Charles put Lily in the middle of the stairs in front of him and stepped back.
In the dim stairwell, two groups of people with exactly the same appearance went up and down, and a fluorescent green mouse stood in the middle. At this moment, this scene was like an oil painting called "Choice".
Dozens of eyes were cast on Lily's body. This kind of attention made her feel that her toes weighed a thousand pounds. When she chose one side, it meant that she would lose the other side.
After a few seconds of depressing, Lily finally moved her hind legs and ran in front of Charles with the vertical scar.
Seeing this scene, Charles felt a sense of loss inexplicably.
But this is Lily's own choice, and he doesn't want to interfere with the other party's choice, because she is a companion, she can go home, and he should be happy for her.
"Let's go." Charles turned and walked up the stairs with the others.
"Captain, did you really not ask when you handed Lily over to them?" Di Pu was a little worried.
"No problem, because that's me, I know myself, maybe I won't trust the other me, but I won't do anything to a little mouse, since I will bring Lily out of the third laboratory, then the me on the other side, Will also send her back to Coral Island."
Scattered footsteps echoed in the corridor, and Charles and the others returned to the eleventh floor again, and they returned to their own world through the empty floor.
Charles stood at the stairs and looked at the other side, all kinds of Lily's past flashed in his mind.
"My name is Lily, what's your name?"
"Mr. Charles, you are back, come and taste my new food?"
"Mr. Charles, where have you been for the past three years? I miss you so much."
"Mr. Charles, can I sleep with you today??"
Looking at the dark stairway in the distance, Charles sighed, "Let's go."
The former companions left just like that, and everyone's faces showed a trace of reluctance. In this dull atmosphere, they walked out of the mountain silently, passed through the buildings on the island, and came to the narwhal. in front of the number.
A large group of mice surrounded Charles, squeaking, with obvious anxiety in their voices.
Just when Charles was thinking about how to explain to them, his keen hearing suddenly heard something. It was the sound of mouse paws running on the ground.
When Charles turned his head, he saw a small fluorescent green jumping quickly from the ground.
That's Lily, teary Lily
The little mouse quickly ran to Charles, jumped into Charles' arms, and kept rubbing against him. "Woo, Mr. Charles, I can't bear you! I really can't bear you."
"Don't you miss mom and dad? Why do you want to come back?"
"Because I'm a mouse now, even if I go back, Mom and Dad will only be sadder. I... I plan to go back after I become a human." Lily gave a reason.
Holding Lily in the palm of his hand, Charles, who raised the corner of his mouth slightly, stroked her head gently with his hand.
"Okay, then in the middle, you can continue to be my gunner. The Narwhal needs you, and I need you too."
