Chapter 470 Trench

"Ag'agth...lwhuk...yeh agthu...."

Charles pinched his temples with his fingers in pain, trying to suppress the irritability and pain caused by the whispering.

But even though he pressed his temples black and blue, the murmur didn't subside in the slightest.

Ever since he watched the video, the special whispering sound followed him like a shadow.

It seems that the spiritual pollution of those gods polluted Charles through the screen, even though it was covered by darkness at that time, even though Charles only saw some eyes.

The situation was not obvious when he first boarded the boat, but as time went on, the whispers in his ears became louder and louder, and finally reached an unbearable level.

"Here, the potion is a little hot." Linda brought a black potion in a triangular glass bottle to Charles.

Charles snatched it over immediately, raised his head and poured it into his mouth.

His mind was so cluttered that Charles didn't have time to taste the bitter taste of the potion.

The potion seemed to have an effect, and the murmur gradually became smaller, and Charles let out a long breath. "Thanks."

Linda shook her head. "Captain, the matter is not over yet. This medicine is only used to temporarily blunt your brain's perception. Your situation is somewhat complicated. I need to conduct further mental examination on you."

"Wait a minute, now is not the time to do this, let's talk about it this time when we're done." Charles stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and walked out of the medical room.

When he came to the cockpit, he saw the first officer and the second officer discussing something with each other facing the chart.

"Captain, are you alright? How is your health? Why don't we go back and get cured before we come back." The second mate Kenona said with an ugly face.

Charles shook his head, "Don't say these useless words, where are we now? How far are we from our destination?"

"If...the map is correct...the trench is...below us..." the first mate Bandage replied.

Charles raised his chin at Dipper who was at the helm, "Boy, go down and have a look."

"Understood!" The excited Dipper rushed out of the cockpit, put his hands on the railing, and jumped into the sea with a plop.

"The heavy key fell into the trench, so it's impossible to run around now." Charles walked over and thought to himself while looking at the chart on the wall.

"But seriously, what exactly overturned the Foundation's aircraft carrier and stole the key?" Charles suddenly thought of this question.

Thinking of the specifications of the aircraft carrier and the size of the giant key, Charles always felt that the thing that snatched the key was definitely not small.

"Could it be a god?" A thought flashed in Charles's mind, but Charles rejected it in a blink of an eye.

The gods have no reason to snatch the key to the surface. If they really want to go out, no one can stop them.

While Charles was thinking about this question, the second officer beside him, Kenona, hesitated and said, "Captain, are we really going to the trench?"

"certainly."

"But that's a trench! Going to the bottom of the sea is already a life-threatening job. Going to the trench at the bottom of the sea, this... this... I don't know what to say, what do you think the survival rate is this time?"

Thinking that he was about to enter the deepest part of the dark seabed, Kenona's body couldn't help but tremble.

"Are you scared?" Charles looked at him.

"Captain, shouldn't a normal person be afraid of this situation?" Kenona looked at Charles with fear in his eyes.

Charles looked up at him unexpectedly, "Where did your energy go when you boarded the exploration ship? Show some momentum, don't be timid."

When he was talking about this, Charles suddenly saw that he still had 068's "gift" on his wrist.

Charles lifted out the chainsaw that the prosthesis had turned into, and quickly cut the bracelet with the poisonous needle. As the sparks splashed, the technological bracelet turned into two halves and fell to the ground.

At this moment, Di Pu's voice came from the sea. "Captain! There's a trench down there. We found it! Haha, we're lucky."

"Touch~!" The heavy steel plates were closed heavily on the deck, and the icy sea water poured into the water tank, slowly reducing the buoyancy of the Narwhal.

When the Narwhal was completely in the water, all the crew couldn't help but move to the glass window and look down.

The dark water was broken by the Narwhal's searchlight, and the straight searchlight at this moment was like a lightning bolt from the sea surface to the bottom of the sea.

The seabed here is unexpectedly low, it seems to be only 30 meters deep, which also allows the crew to see a dark crack embedded in the seabed, stretching to the darkness ahead.

It is said to be a trench, but it is more like a cliff in the seabed.

When the Narwhal slowly entered the trench, everyone swallowed involuntarily.

Standing on the deck, Charles faintly felt something was wrong, as if something was watching him, but when he felt it carefully, he found that this feeling had disappeared.

"The hallucination caused by the whispering?" Charles turned his head and continued to look out of the glass window. There was nothing but darkness outside the window.

As it got deeper and deeper, the temperature on the ship gradually became lower, and the crew began to exhale white air from their mouths.

Some crew members who couldn't bear it hurriedly rushed to the side of the chimney, holding the chimney with open hands with comfort on their faces.

Charles didn't move, he stood on the deck and looked out of the glass window silently.

There was nothing outside but the emptiness of darkness, and that feeling reappeared, as if there was an eye made of darkness staring at him right in front of him.

"First officer! Turn on the sonar!" Charles ordered.

The sonar of the Narwhal was turned on, and the sound waves responded darkly, and there was nothing. It seemed that it was really just Charles' hallucination.

The depth is still increasing, and the steel plate of the Narwhal makes metal creaking sounds from time to time, and the atmosphere becomes a bit depressing.

Suddenly, a strange cry broke the silence. The voice came from the cockpit.

"What's going on?" When Charles rushed into the cockpit, he saw the sailor who was in charge of observing the periscope collapsed directly on the ground.

"Captain! I...I saw someone outside!!" The sailor reported to Charles in horror.

Before he could finish, Charles strode over to the periscope and peered in with his good eye.

There was nothing in the periscope, and just when he thought the sailor was wrong, a tube swung past the camera.

In the next second, a heavy-duty diving suit appeared in front of the periscope. It was not just a diving suit. Through the broken glass covered with moss, Charles also saw the skull head inside the huge diving helmet.

It was staring at Charles with its empty eye sockets.
