The atmosphere in the cell was a bit solemn. Alia, who was standing behind the crowd, looked at the locked-up Dipper with an anxious expression.
"Captain, this idea was not thought of by any of our personalities. It was an idea that the three of us came up with together. If you want to blame someone, just blame us three." Dipper's voice sounded very calm.
Charles looked at his boatswain with a serious expression. "I know that if the real Dipper wanted to do something like this, he would definitely tell me. So the one who came up with the idea must be one of the other two personalities, right?"
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Finn Gaunt behind him, "Trouble."
Finn, with a white beard, smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, I've dealt with this situation once before, and it will be much faster the second time."
As he spoke, the apprentice standing behind him opened the giant leather suitcase he was carrying. Inside the suitcase were various sets of glassware. The old wizard planned to adjust the potion on the spot.
Watching the transparent glass bottle flying rapidly in the air, Dipper's expression on his face covered with green scales changed rapidly. He knew what Charles was going to do.
"Captain, don't leave them, I beg you." Dipper said in a pleading voice.
Hearing this, Charles was immediately furious. He rushed forward and grabbed the scarf around Dipper's neck, and said sternly, "Are you crazy? Those false personalities are created by masks! You actually beg for mercy for them? Do you like sharing your body with others?"
"Captain, ever since they came here, I feel like I have two more brothers around me. I am no longer alone. This feeling is much better than when I was alone."
Dipper's fish-lipped mouth opened and closed, revealing fangs as sharp as steel needles, and he continued to speak.
"I was wrong about what I did before. I really didn't know that the situation was like that with the Deep Ones. I thought my mother wouldn't lie to me. But... my mother isn't as perfect as I thought. I'm really sorry, Captain."
Looking at the fishman in front of him, Charles' expression was a little hesitant. The face of the boy he used to be slowly overlapped with this hateful fishman monster in front of him.
What he had experienced with him flashed quickly through Charles' mind.
At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from behind, "Governor, the medicine has been adjusted."
They both turned their heads at the same time and saw the two bottles of potion suspended in the air.
The air was suddenly filled with a frightening oppression. Lily, who had half of her head sticking out of the door, had red eyes and looked like she was about to cry.
Before coming here, they all understood what the potion was used for and what the consequences would be if they drank it.
James on the side had an awkward expression on his face, "Captain, let's forget it. Dipper is still young and naive, and he has realized his mistakes now."
"Still young? Do you know how many people died because of him? If we hadn't been lucky before, we would all have been intercepted there that day!" Charles' voice suddenly rose.
"But you see. It was also because of his tip-off that we had enough time to deal with the attack of the Deep Ones. Don't you think so?"
Charles waved his hand vigorously to stop James from continuing. "Okay, I don't want to kill him, I just want to get rid of his two different personalities. I've had this before, and the extra personality is useless except for causing trouble."
After hearing this, James stopped trying to persuade her.
Suddenly, Dipper's body trembled violently, and as his webbed hands shrank slightly, he broke free from the handcuffs.
He looked carefully at Charles in front of him, and a smile gradually spread across his face.
Dipper reached out his hand, gave Charles a tight hug, and walked straight towards the two bottles of potion.
In the end, the main personality Dipper was still unable to withstand the combined strength of the other two personalities, and Dipper's body continued to move forward.
"Captain, you are right. We are byproducts of using the mask relic. We should not exist." There was a hint of tremor in the Deep One's voice.
"Boss!" Alia shouted excitedly and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by the crew member next to her.
Dipper looked at the potion in front of him, stretched out his hands and gently took it, muttering to himself: "Captain, although we are fake, our feelings for you are real. You will always be the most important person to us. Since you let us leave, then we will follow your orders."
"I planned what happened before. I was the one who secretly drove the Narwhal to Ihans. Everything is my fault. My character is more radical than the main personality. I am really sorry."
After saying that, he raised his head and prepared to put the potion to his mouth. His palm with green scales trembled slightly, but he did not pause at all in pouring the potion.
Just as the potion in the bottle was about to enter Dipper's mouth, suddenly, the potion bottle in Dipper's hand flew up inexplicably, hit the wall and shattered.
Charles' fingers trembled slightly as he walked out of the cell without saying a word. The others paused for a few seconds and then quickly followed.
"Huh? What's going on?" Dipper stood there in a daze, looking a little surprised.
But Alia didn't care about all that. She just knew that her boss was safe.
She rushed over excitedly, supported Dipper and rushed out of the cell. "Boss, let's go out. It seems that the Governor has let you go."
"Really?" Dipper's three personalities felt unreal.
At this moment, James, who had just left, came back, looked at Dipp carefully for a few seconds, and then sighed helplessly.
"The Governor said that you don't have to be locked up here anymore. You are free."
Hearing this, Dipper was overjoyed. "So, I can go back to the Narwhal again?"
"No, the captain said, you can stay on the island or go back to your family, it's up to you."
Dipper's smile gradually faded. "Then our..."
James patted Dipper on the shoulder. "The captain must be responsible for the lives of the others on board. He can't let someone who has betrayed him on board. No one can stand it if you do it again."
James glanced at Alia who was supporting Dipper, "Actually this is not bad. You still have a lot of money in your bank account. Use this money to enjoy yourself on the island."
"What do you mean? Can't the boss serve as the director of Hope Island again?" There was a hint of gunpowder in Alia's voice.
James said nothing and just turned and left.
Dipper stood there dejectedly, his eyes dim.
