"What are you all doing together here?" Charles, who was standing at the door of the cafeteria, looked at the crew in front of him calmly and asked slowly.
Everyone in the cafeteria looked at each other, and no one said a word.
Finally, it was Dipper who spoke up. The fishman said excitedly, "It's okay, Captain. We are waiting for dinner. We just happened to have nothing to do, so we are listening to Feuerbach telling stories about his hometown."
"Captain, you don't know, this guy already has two wives in his hometown, plus the three in Hope Island, he actually has five wives."
As the fishman teased the second mate next to him with a joking look on his face, all the stunned crew members immediately reacted.
They laughed and pointed at the green-haired young man beside them, and the second mate next to them also cooperated very well, standing with his hands on his hips and laughing proudly.
Charles' gaze swept deeply over each crew member. He looked very carefully and everyone seemed to be normal, with no abnormalities at all.
But the sounds he heard outside just now were not like that. If they were really chatting and making fun of Feuerbach, then why were they on guard against the footsteps
Just at this moment, the chef came out of the kitchen with his new assistant.
"Captain, are you here for dinner too? Please take a seat. Dinner will be ready soon. Please wait a few minutes."
Originally, Charles wanted to tell his crew members about the abnormality of the mice and work together to solve the problem, but now he didn't say a word.
Charles, with a frown on his face, pulled out a stool, sat down in the restaurant, and slowly closed his eyes.
The crew members' conversation continued, but Charles felt that their voices were a little lower, as if they were afraid of disturbing him.
Charles opened his eyes slightly, and out of the corner of his eye he saw the vampire Audric at the edge of the crowd, secretly loading his revolver.
He closed his eyes again, and the tip of the black blade had quietly emerged from the palm of his prosthetic hand.
Soon dinner was prepared by Chef Planck and the short kitchen helper.
Today's food was rich. On the iron plate were five long biscuits, an opened can of pork, and a bowl of delicious mushroom soup.
In addition to these, there were two raw sea urchins cut in half on the plate. The ten golden petals of sea urchin roe appeared in front of Charles, looking very tempting.
Charles looked at other people's plates and found that in addition to sea urchins, there were also small fish and crabs. The crew members were all enjoying the meal.
But the only one who saw this was Tuba, who was playing with a crumpled paper rabbit in his hand very attentively, and didn't even look at the sumptuous seafood meal.
Just like an ordinary seven or eight-year-old child, who was so focused on toys that he completely forgot to eat.
Faced with the sumptuous food, Charles did not enjoy it, he just watched in silence.
Some of the crew members who ate quickly had already finished. They wiped their mouths, walked towards the door arm in arm, talking and laughing.
As they left, the mice followed one by one, walked into the cafeteria along the corner and started eating.
They ignored Charles who was sitting next to them, as if everything that had happened before was an illusion.
Everything was so normal, so orderly, and this happened every day on the Narwhal.
"Are they all fake? Are all of them the same thing as Dipper on the lotus leaf before?" Charles' mind started thinking quickly.
"Captain, why don't you eat? I caught these things myself, they are delicious." Dipper said while picking his fangs with his claws.
Charlton glanced at him and scooped the sea urchin roe from the plate with his steel prosthetic arm. "I don't really like eating it raw. You can eat it."
With a "slide", the golden sea urchin fish slid into Dipper's stomach. His face covered with green scales showed an expression of extreme enjoyment.
"Captain, are you still going to eat these?" Dipper asked.
"You eat it. I don't want to eat this today." Charles put the two sea urchins in front of Dipper.
A smile appeared on the fishman's face. He used his webbed claws to pick out the sea urchin roe and ate it with great pleasure.
Seeing this, Charles picked up a biscuit, dipped it in the mushroom soup, and prepared to start his dinner.
"By the way, Dipper, how is your child's illness?"
Dipper swallowed the delicious food in his mouth and looked at Charles with a puzzled look. "Captain, what are you talking about? How can I have a child when I just got married? Besides, my wife is a barren woman and can't have children at all."
"Did I guess wrong?" A thought flashed through Charles' mind.
Just at this moment, Bandage walked in from outside and sat down next to Charlton in silence.
When the chef brought the plate to him, he tore a slit in the bandage on his face and started eating with a crunch.
There weren't many people left in the cafeteria. Second mate Feuerbach, holding a bottle of wine in one hand and hooking the other hand on the vampire's shoulder, staggered towards the door.
"Blind man, let me tell you, there is a new brothel opened at the dock recently. When we get back, I will take you there to have some fun. The women there are very beautiful."
"No, I'm not going. I have things to do back on the island."
"What's the matter? You don't even have a home, why don't you enjoy yourself? Don't worry, it's very closed in there, there's no sunlight at all, you don't need to wear your leather case."
Just as the two men slowly walked to Charles' left side, suddenly, two black gun barrels pointed at Charles' head.
"Bang!!" Charles' head was suddenly tilted by the bullet belt.
Charles' transparent tentacles instantly stretched out of his body and threw Orderic and Feuerbach out.
He pushed his feet against the ground and prepared to rush out of the cafeteria.
They are all pretending! Everyone is fake!! We must leave here! This is not my ship at all!!
But at this moment, Charles found that he couldn't move at all. A huge branch had stretched out from the side and tied him up tightly! This is the power of the bandage.
"Pick out the three stones in his palm!! Otherwise the bullets can't hurt him!" That was Dipper's voice.
The fishman in front of him rushed forward angrily, and the dagger in his finger stabbed towards Charles' palm.
There was a loud crash at the door, and the cafeteria door was knocked down, and the rats and crew members who had left earlier rushed in.
They held various weapons in their hands, and their expressions were extremely terrifying and ferocious, as if they wanted to swallow Charles alive.
