Chapter 846: Puppet
As soon as Charles finished speaking, he felt the scene around him change rapidly. When he came back to his senses, he found that the surroundings were extremely bright, which made Charles, who had just come out of the darkness, feel very uncomfortable.
bright? ! Charles raised his head almost subconsciously, a dazzling sun hung brightly in the sky, it was the sun, and this was the surface of the earth! The real surface! !
When Charles, who was extremely excited, stabilized his emotions a little bit, he realized that he had entered the body of a bird, to be precise, a white-haired seagull, and now he was standing on the mast of the sailing ship.
Next to the sea is a large sandy beach. Black or white bodies in bathing suits lie on it and bask in the sun. Looking at those people who are different from themselves, it is obvious that this is not China.
Charles flapped his wide wings clumsily, his body instincts were still there, and he quickly flew into the air, gliding towards the land.
The road with traffic signs, the passing cars on the carriage, and the skateboard boy with headphones, any appearance on the surface made Charles' calm mood excited again.
Everything on the surface is very peaceful, there are no abnormal creatures on the ground, and there are no other strange celestial bodies in the sky, which is enough to prove that there are no accidents on the surface.
This is obviously a seaside city, although their writing is not clear, but from the national flags hanging on the wall, it can be judged that this is his former surface, not some other weird parallel world.
Especially when he saw a MADE IN CHINA logo hanging behind his collar.
Charles roamed in the air to his heart's content, enjoying the feeling of the free wind blowing over his cheeks. At this moment, everything he encountered in Earthsea seemed like a dream.
Just as Charles glides towards a man's cell phone, the surrounding scene quickly returns, and he returns to his somewhat bleak captain's room again, while 005 has already left.
Charles, who was lying on the ground, was stunned for a few seconds, and a joyful smile suddenly appeared on his face. Although it was estimated that he had not returned to the surface for a minute, it felt so good, the feeling of going home.
Charles' long-forgotten heart was hooked out again, and now he desperately longed to go home, and he wanted to return to the civilized world where there was no danger and no despair. Compared with Dihai, that world is undoubtedly a paradise.
But just as he stood up, Charles saw himself in the mirror next to him. The black hair on his head was slightly wriggling tentacles, his left eye was a spider eye with a black iris, his face was full of scars, and he didn't know when he was crawling from his neck. A black tentacle tattoo coming to the face.
Compared with the boy on the drawing board, he is undoubtedly a monster now. Charles hesitated in his heart, but he immediately became firm. He took out the sailing diary, opened the page of wishes, crossed out a wish on it, and wrote a new one.
On the crowded pier, Nini stood on the roof with her companions, looking towards the pier. Compared to her before, Nini is a bit taller now.
"How long is it? Why haven't you come back yet? I'm so tired from standing." Nini wiped the sweat off her face with the back of her hand. She had been standing here almost all morning.
"I heard from my father that the notice on the TV is like this, and the Hope Island Navy came this morning." The little fat man said firmly.
Just when Nini wanted to ask more questions, warships slowly approached from the dark sea level, and the crowd on the pier suddenly burst into cheers.
After more than half a year of expedition, their family finally came back.
"God bless!! My husband can finally go home!!" A woman next to her knelt on the ground excitedly.
Hearing this, Nini showed a trace of disappointment on her face. Shining hasn't looked for her once in the past six months, as if he disappeared all of a sudden.
"Xinxi must have something important to do. She will definitely come to see me when she finishes her work. We have hooked up before, and we are good friends for life." Nini comforted herself in her heart.
As the fleet docked, the Hope Island sailors, who specially changed into new clothes, rushed into the crowd with excited steps. Find the family that greets you.
At this moment, Leonardo, who was standing on the roof of the car, cleared his throat and began to read into the microphone connected to the speaker.
"Islanders, after a 25-day expedition in June, the evil Fortan Cult has finally been defeated by our brave warriors, cheer for our heroes!!"
James, who was standing on the top floor of a building, looked at Leonardo who had returned to normal and nodded in satisfaction. "This guy is still so hypocritical, he is finally fine."
"Don't be too happy. The mixture that Ms. Linda and I have developed can only suppress the memory of the other party. The mixture cannot be stopped for a day. He must take it on time." The old mage next to James reminded.
Hearing this, James showed a trace of regret on his face, "Is there no complete solution?"
"Of course, as long as you kill the monster that modified his memory, those false memories will disappear instantly, but I'm afraid even your governor can't do it."
Anna's face appeared in his mind, and James nodded solemnly.
"It is indeed very difficult, but this is okay. You share the formula of the mixture as soon as possible. I will discuss with the engineering department and open a new pharmaceutical factory as soon as possible to produce these mixtures."
Just when the chief of Gaunt was about to say something, he said that he became gloomy in an instant, staring fixedly at the coast of the pier, the sea that should have been calm was constantly tumbling with bubbles, as if there was something underwater.
This scene was not only seen by him, but also by the three members who were ambushing in the dark of the pier, "Beep~beep!" With the piercing whistle, blood-red powder fireworks exploded in the air.
The crowds of islanders on the pier no longer cared about joining in the fun, and began to retreat in horror. Everyone in Hope Island knew what the red fireworks represented.
Fortunately, there were quite a few security officers in the crowd, and under their protection, there was no stampede at all.
Just when most of the people on the pier were about to evacuate, a staggering thing came up from the bubble.
At first James thought it was a person, but he soon discovered that it was not a person, it was a metal puppet covered with sea mud for most of its body.
Most of the puppets in puppet shows are only the size of a palm, but this puppet is four meters high. His body and limbs are covered with mud and rust, and his head is only half, which looks very weird.
"The target is 90 yards! Prepare for shelling!!" On the high tower of the pier, the muzzles of several head-sized cannons turned quickly, pointing at this weird thing.
Just as the gunner started measuring the wind speed, the weird puppet shook its body slightly and started talking.
The sound was like two pieces of rusty iron sheets rubbing against each other, and it was very uncomfortable to hear. "O Lord of you, seek the Great, whom we know, we trade."
