Dipper swallowed nervously, and stood up as he watched the captain staggering on the deck.
The crew of the Narwhal looked at their captain very nervously. Fortunately, this time, the captain finally stopped being furious and hurting people. Tuba's method was really effective.
The Charlton thug, drooling, stiffly followed Tuba, who was holding a paper rabbit, and walked around the deck again and again.
His limbs were uncoordinated, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he was mumbling something, looking very strange.
"Hey, Tuba, what are you doing?" Dipper asked hesitantly.
"Shh, don't make noise! I'm taking Charles to a place. This is none of your business. Just wait quietly."
Tuba said as he pulled the paper rabbit's ears, and he and Charles behind him suddenly fell to the ground, crawling on all fours and continuing to circle.
Seeing this interesting scene, the eyes of the shining one beside him who had turned back into a human form instantly lit up. "I want to play too."
But just as she was about to run over, her mother stopped her. "No! Stay still."
Anna frowned as she looked at the strange scene in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking.
Bandage glanced at the golden statue of Ftan on the ground, walked up to Anna and said, "You really... have no way...?"
"How many times have I told you that there is nothing wrong with Charles' memory and his thinking? He is my man. If I have a way to help him, would I not know it? Speaking of which, he is the only one who has this kind of problem in this damn place. Are the rest of you okay?"
Bandage glanced at Shanshan who was eager to try beside him and did not answer.
He didn't say anything, but Anna spoke again. "Where did Charles find this old man? Is the method he said reliable?"
"He... is a special... lunatic... who might... be useful."
"Humph!" Anna showed a trace of displeasure on her face. "He said he could bring Charles back. If he dares to lie to me, he's dead!"
"I don't think... a monster... can have such deep feelings for the captain... What are you... planning...?"
"You're saying that you know him better than I do? I slept with him and gave birth to his child, and you also slept with him and gave birth to his child?" Anna's voice was filled with a hint of disgust.
Bandage turned his head towards her and stared at him with his lifeless eyes.
Feuerbach, who seemed to sense that the relationship between the two was a little tense, covered his stitched stomach and persuaded them: "You two, please stop arguing. The most important thing is to rescue the captain. Let's talk about the actual matter after we return."
Everyone stopped talking and silently looked at Charles who was crawling behind Tuba. The two of them were slowly circling one after the other.
"You guys..." Dipper said with an embarrassed expression, "You guys, where are they going?"
"Where are we going? Of course, we're going to the place where the trouble is solved. Do you want to stay at this angle with me?" The young boy Tuba turned his head and said to Charles who was asking him.
Charles, standing on the giant paper rabbit, turned his head and looked to his side.
At this moment, on his left was an upright sea, and on the other side was a pitch-black sky. He didn't know what was going on. He only knew that when Tuba pulled the rabbit's ears, the whole world stood up.
"What drove me crazy? And when did it start?"
Tuba grabbed the giant rabbit's ears and said, "They attacked you when you first entered the sea, but there wasn't enough time before, so the symptoms weren't obvious yet."
"They, you mean the sea otters?"
"No, those sea otters are just their servants. They are more advanced and special."
Tuba stared at the darkness ahead without blinking. His focused look was very much like a novice driver who had just learned to drive.
"More advanced?" Charles really didn't understand what this adjective meant, and Tuba's words from this angle were a little difficult to understand.
"I didn't provoke them, why did they pull me into this angle?"
"Hehe, according to what you said at that time, they are a group of collectors. They want to collect everything about you. Your thoughts, your memories, and even your soul are very much to their liking."
At this point, Tuba turned his head and showed Charles a bright smile, "Fortunately I woke you up, otherwise you would have been collected by them and worn by them."
"Thank you." Charles thanked Tuba carefully.
"No need to thank me. You will have many opportunities to thank me in the future." Tuba turned around and continued driving the Rabbit.
"Why do you know this place so well? Didn't you just arrive here too?" Charles asked again.
"How long have you been crazy? How can you compare with me?" Tuba seemed to have a certain pride on his face.
"I have been in this place for more than four hundred years, and don't forget my abilities."
"Your ability? Prediction?"
Tuba laughed. “You could say that.”
Charles stopped dwelling on this question because he had more important questions to ask.
"What do we need to do to get back when we get there?"
"Find them, scatter them, and when they regroup, you'll have a chance to return to your perspective, and then lead your crew to kill all the sea otters. As long as there are no sea otters as a medium, they can't affect your world."
Tuba quickly spoke about what Charles was going to do next.
Charles looked down at his mutilated body, his prosthetic limbs quickly transforming into chainsaws and then quickly transforming back again.
"How do we disperse them? Can we use this weapon?"
"Anything is fine, even if you use your fists. But don't use your lightning ability. That kind of attack has a large range and will hurt others."
When Tuba said this, he suddenly pulled the rabbit's ears, and the huge rabbit suddenly bent, and they were back to the situation where the sea was below and the darkness was above.
"What should we do next?" Charles asked again with a frown, looking around.
Tuba pointed to the dark sea with seaweed and lotus leaves and said, "Jump in."
"What?"
Before Charles could react, Tuba reached into Charles' empty abdomen, grabbed the spine and pushed gently.
With a bang, the back of Charles' head hit the water.
For a moment he felt dizzy and when he came to his senses again, he found himself in a green seaweed forest.
"What on earth is..." Charles lowered his head and looked down at his feet. He found himself standing on the water. On the other side of the water were Tuba and his rabbit.
Tuba outside also jumped down. His body quickly melted into the water and quickly took shape in front of Charles.
This is the other side of the water, and they are standing upside down underwater.
