Dipper's voice was still echoing in the room, but the others had already left, and Bandage sat there, thinking about everything, confusion in his eyes.
A long time had passed since the captain told himself to prepare for the future doomsday.
But the legendary doomsday did not come, and Charles disappeared completely.
Not only did Dipper want to know where Charles was, he also wanted to know.
Bandage thought for a long time, then reached out to remove the bandage on his leg. There was a tattoo he had left more than ten years ago: "Captain Charles can be trusted."
"Hmm..." Bandage thought for a moment, then reached out and took out a diary from the drawer.
When he opened it, he saw that it contained densely packed and extremely special block characters.
This is what Charles recorded. He has a hunch that there must be information hidden in it that he wants to know.
"Hmm..." Bandage was concentrating so much that his eyes moved closer and closer to the diary, until they were almost touching it.
"Cuckoo cuckoo~" The sound of a bird broke the immersion of Bandage. He turned his head to look at the mechanical copper bird that was sticking in and out of the wall clock and found that it was time for him to get off work.
The diary closed with a snap, and West skillfully removed the bandages on his body, revealing his youthful appearance that had not changed with the passage of time.
After changing into casual clothes, he walked towards the gate of the Governor's Mansion. He was not the only one coming out of the gate, but also staff from other rooms. The Governor's Mansion of Hope Island was no longer the place where the Governor worked and lived, but had become an administrative unit like an institutional building.
Compared with other employees' cars, West has more convenient and environmentally friendly means of transportation.
"Ring-ring~" He pedaled the bicycle that he used to ride when he was a postman towards home.
It is now 5pm, and he is not the only one on his way home from get off work, so the road has become very congested.
Wittes was not in a hurry. He rode slowly while watching the scenery on the street.
As an island blessed by gods in legend, Hope Island is the most prosperous island in the North Sea. The various new gadgets that appear in the shops from time to time are enough to keep him entertained.
As the island's central area where every inch of land is valuable, there are not only shops but also other buildings, such as temples and churches.
The largest number of people were gathered in front of a glittering golden conical building surrounded by banana trees. As the governor, West certainly knew who these people believed in. They believed in the captain's daughter, Winky.
As the seed of hope brought back at the beginning, Shining became completely deified through word of mouth among the islanders and became a mature religion with doctrines and leadership.
They may not care what they believe in, whether it is Futan, the God of Light, the Giant Bird of Suffering, or anything else, they just want a spiritual sustenance.
Instead of letting them believe in those dangerous beings, why not let them believe in Shining
West had no reason to refuse the islanders' request, and he also gave a push to help the Shining Cult expand its influence.
The traffic jam began to move, and just as West was pedaling forward, two girls came out of the golden temple. Their voices reached West's ears.
"Nini, do you really plan to become a nun here after graduation?"
"Well, I've thought about it."
"This is not the same as being a volunteer. You can't get married in your lifetime! You have to dedicate everything to the Shining God! Are you really prepared for such a big decision?"
"Hahahaha~ Of course!"
"Nini, why are you laughing? I'm talking to you seriously."
"I'm serious too. Let's go, the TV series finale is tonight. If you're late you won't be able to watch it."
As the traffic turned a corner, the girl's words disappeared from West's ears and he had already arrived home.
He put down the iron kickstand, locked his bicycle, and walked towards the door where the smell of food wafted from. "Mom, I'm back."
Now is no longer the difficult period of rising sea water. After having a warm and sumptuous dinner with his family, West came to his bedroom.
He opened a thick leather book and took out a fountain pen to write down what he had written. What West wrote was not a diary, but a sailing record. His past sailing experience on the Narwhal.
The voyage of the Narwhal is very long, and the things it experiences are very strange and complicated, but West is not in a hurry now, he has plenty of time to spend on it.
As he was writing, he unknowingly reached bedtime. The rapidly sliding pen tip suddenly stopped, and as West frowned slightly, the plants outside the building began to grow wildly.
But when West opened the door and looked, he found that there was no prey caught in the thorn forest he had created, and there was a yellow envelope on the carpet at the door.
With the sound of trees creaking, the thorns next to it twisted and cut the letter open, revealing several color photos inside.
The photo showed two green centipede monsters. As the first mate of the Narwhal, he immediately recognized his crew member, the sailor Norden, whose body had been replaced by the monster.
The ship's doctor Linda had tried to cure him before, but failed. Norden completely turned into a monster and disappeared from Hope Island completely.
The other one in the photo is a centipede-like eyeless monster with a green tail like Norden. West also has an impression of her. She is one of the kings of Sodom.
There was no text on the photo, but Wittes could see some information from the picture. "Is Norden together with that monster? And he laid a nest of eggs? Are these two planning to revive the endangered species by themselves?"
The corpses of the green centipedes on the floating island flashed through his mind. No matter what this species was called, the two of them seemed to be the last two of it.
After carefully observing the photo for a while, West looked up at the dark street outside. "Happy wedding," he said, and turned around and closed the door again.
After breakfast, Witts rode his bicycle towards the Governor's Mansion. During the trip, he met a group of students on their way to school. One of them, who looked older, caught Witt's attention.
That was Linda's adopted child. He had been in school for almost 10 years since he was brought to the island. He was in his thirties, but he still hadn't graduated. It was foreseeable that he would continue to go to school, but it didn't seem to have any harm.
Arriving at the Governor's office, West wrapped himself in bandages and began to work, managing every aspect of the island. It was no different from usual.
There was an album on the desk, which contained portraits of the main members of the Narwhal. Suddenly, the people in the painting melted, and the colors that made up them recombined to form a man with bulging eyes carrying his huge back of the head. This was the legacy left to him by Charles.
"Governor, the fifth Alpha Ark has been completed."
He tapped the picture frame with his bandaged fingers, and the picture inside changed rapidly. Five huge spaceships like a mountain were parked below the entire Hope Island. With the technology obtained from analyzing the wreckage of the Foundation and the cooperation of various anomalies, this spaceship can ensure the maximum self-sufficiency in space without any supplies.
This was the task Charles assigned to him, and he not only completed it, but also exceeded it.
With these, he could even move all the people on Hope Island away without leaving anyone behind.
"Governor, everything is ready. What should we do next?"
Hearing the voice coming from the picture frame, Bandage thought for a moment and uttered a word, "Wait."
"How long do we wait?"
"Wait until the doomsday comes as the captain says"
"But the doomsday that Captain Charles mentioned has passed."
"Wait a minute. Wait a minute." As the bandage gently pressed a button on the picture frame, the pattern on it returned to normal.
Bandage sat there and thought for a while, then took out Charles' diary again and studied it with a frown. "Well, I have no idea at all."
He didn't know how long it had been before the bird's call of "Cuckoo Cuckoo~!" woke him up again.
The bandage shuddered all over and began to remove the bandages on his body in a hurry. It was time to get off work again.
Today is his sister's birthday, and he is going to the cake shop to pick up the cake he has already ordered. Bandage's steps become lighter.
Everyone, the new book "Dao Wei Yi Xian" has been signed, and I hope those who are interested will give it a try! ! Thank you
