Chapter 86 Torture
In the dank labyrinth, the gloomy Charles led the crew to run wildly.
"Mr. Charles, my friend can't keep up!" Lily, standing on Charles' shoulder, shouted anxiously.
"Tell them to climb on top of James! Come on!"
The mice quickly climbed onto the back of the shrinking giant, and James seemed to wear a black cloak.
"Ahhh!!"
"Ahhh!!"
"Ahhh!!"
The miserable shouts in front of him became louder and louder, but these could no longer stop Charles from walking.
According to the bandage, the outer island has sunk below the water level, and if everyone can't get out in a short time, they will sink into the deep sea with the island.
No matter what lies under the deep sea, that place is not an area for human beings to set foot.
The humid air was full of oppression, and everyone's face was solemn, but seeing the backbone of Charles running in the front, no one panicked.
The crew followed the bandages and ran around in the maze, and the screams were getting closer and closer. Suddenly, Charles made a quick turn, and his eyes suddenly became clear.
It is rare for the area in front of you to have light, but when it happens inside the light, it is really creepy.
I saw that the space the size of a football field in front of me was full of naked human beings, both men, women and children.
They pinched their necks with their hands, howled and screamed, and rolled in the muddy water in pain, just like the graffiti they saw on the wall before.
And around them, there are densely packed black monsters the size of palms, which look like centipedes with spider legs.
They stood on the surface of the water like water spiders, surrounding the screaming humans, shaking their bodies rhythmically with the volume of the sound, as if they were enjoying the pain of humans.
Seeing this scene, Charles immediately understood that these were tortures. The man with the scar was right before, this is the lair of torture.
When Charles saw them, the torturers also saw Charles.
Apart from the torture on the water, some torture crawled out of the mouths of those screaming guys. The tormentors started to move, they started to move towards Charles trying to integrate Charles into one of the screams.
They are in groups, looking around, like a black carpet.
Facing this scene, there was a trace of fear on everyone's face, and Charles quickly carved on the wall with a knife. "Bandages, torture is coming! Where is the exit you said??"
But at this moment, the bandage disappeared from the wall again.
"Damn it!" Charles exhaled, and took out the Thunder Scepter from his arms. This is the only relic that can deal with a large number of enemies.
"Stab!" Bright arcs shot into the tormentors, leaping between them.
But then there was a scene that made everyone desperate. Facing the thunder that could kill 1002, these torturers didn't respond as if they were insulated.
"Da da da~" The tormentors surged up and crawled into Charles's mouth along the clothes. In an instant, the pain that penetrated the bone marrow spread all over his body. The pain made Charles almost faint, and his throat couldn't help it. Let out a scream.
The other crew members were also hit, and screamed in convulsions.
At this time, Charles immediately saw the bandages on the wall appear again, he drew a box, and made an opening movement.
"Box? Mirror box!!"
Charles tremblingly took the backpack on his back, but the intense pain made it difficult for him to even think, and his hands instinctively held his neck, as if it would make him feel a little better.
"Mr. Charles, let me help you!" Lily's mice quickly jumped on James' back and took out a mirror case from it.
The torture seemed to only attack humans, and a group of small rodents nearby didn't even bother to look.
The vampire who was also screaming next to him "seeed" this, his fear of the sun overcame the severe pain in an instant, and buried his body in the muddy water desperately.
The "pata" mirror box was opened by the mice, and the dazzling light instantly filled the entire space.
Under the sunlight, all the torture around him quickly melted like a snowman without leaving any traces, and the severe pain on his body also quickly disappeared.
The exhausted Charles panted heavily, and he looked at the bandages on the wall. A thought came to his mind, how does this guy know that sunlight is useful for torture?
But at this time, the bandage graffiti disappeared again, and his real figure emerged from a muddy water in the distance. "Captain...here!"
In the muddy water next to the bandage, there was a piece of hazy white light constantly wriggling. It was the searchlight of the Narwhal! There is an exit!
When Charles got out of the hole in the muddy water, the icy seawater enveloped his whole body, washing away the mud on his body instantly.
Charles looked around and found that the former mesa island was under the sea, seven or eight meters away from the sea above his head.
He didn't float up immediately, and stopped directly at the exit point, quickly counting the crew members who came out of it.
Lily, Kenona, Dipper, and the crew got out of the hole one by one and floated towards the surface of the water.
Charles soon discovered that there was one person missing, and his chief engineer, James, hadn't come out yet.
After Charles got in again, he found James standing there with a very ugly face.
"What's going on? Hurry up!"
"Captain, I'm too big...I can't get in." James had despair on his face.
Charles was taken aback, only then did he realize that James' body hadn't completely shrunk, and he couldn't get out at all with his current height of three meters.
James tremblingly handed the amethyst to Charles, and said with difficulty: "Captain, please tell my wife, I...I love him forever."
Seeing James confessing his last words, Charles irritatedly hit the amethyst back in front of him with his hands. "If you want to tell, you can tell it yourself, how long will it be before it retracts?"
"I... I guess there are five minutes left, the boat is not long enough." James said painfully.
"Then wait for five minutes. Don't worry, I will accompany you." Charles took out his pocket watch from his pocket and waited with a sinking heart.
As time passed, more and more seawater poured in from the entrance of the cave. Looking at the muddy water floating on the ground, Charles finally knew how the swamp came about.
Just when James shrank to 2.5 meters, Charles found that the edge of the weird exit began to squirm unsteadily, and the exit was about to be closed.
"I can't wait that long, let's go!!" Charles pushed the big man straight to the exit.
Unsurprisingly, James stuck, and the edge of the exit slowly narrowed, sinking inwards towards his skin.
