Charles had seen many cities before, but he had never seen one so special.
The city's buildings were constructed of huge green stones that were too big to have come from the earth, and there were dizzyingly tall stone carvings, magnificent stone statues, and ornate reliefs.
The structures of the buildings under the trench are all abnormal. The unprecedented spatial structure and dimensions make people feel strongly disgusted. The surrounding stones seem to be convex at first glance, but if you look at it again, you will find that it is actually concave.
The whole city exudes a strong smell of uncleanness.
The twisted and unpredictable edges of the stones seemed to conceal sinister threats and anxious emotions. This strange city seemed to have no end, stretching all the way to the darkness far away.
Charles inexplicably had a feeling that the city was alive, it was conscious, and it was watching him.
The feeling of being watched that I have felt from time to time since I went into the sea came from here.
Charles' heart couldn't help but beat. He was not excited because of the city, but because he saw a ray of light far away in the city.
That metallic glow is a bit like the color of the key in my previous memory!
Under the refraction of light, even the light from the searchlight appears extremely distorted.
Charles couldn't help but feel a strong urge in his heart. He had to rush over and take a look at that place, which was most likely where the key was hidden.
But Charles suppressed the impulse in his heart. He couldn't do this. It was too dangerous. This city was very strange.
Fortunately, he now has some locals to ask.
Soon Charles brought Linda back to the deck, and those things also floated over at the same time. They followed behind Linda, looking very quiet, without the hostility they had just shown.
The crew looked very nervous as they watched the white things passing through the wall, but Charles asked them to put down their weapons.
"Captain, actually I..." Linda was about to speak, but was interrupted by Charles.
"Don't tell me these things. Help me ask these questions. What dangers are there in that city? Is that metallic light emitted by the key?"
Hearing Charles' words, Linda seemed very surprised, "Captain, what light?"
"Huh?" Charles excitedly pulled her to the glass window and pointed at the strange city outside and the light in the city.
"You didn't see something so obvious?"
Not only Linda shook her head, but the crew members who were holding weapons and guarding against the white ghost also shook their heads at the same time.
"Captain, I only saw a strange city with a dark green light, and I didn't see any metallic light." Dipper explained.
"Am I the only one who can see it?" Charles was stunned for a moment. He felt that this obviously meant something.
"Roar!!" A terrifying roar came from Anna's bloody mouth.
She looked extremely painful, and her tentacles covered with some kind of uneven, semi-elastic black scales began to stand up, and her entire body began to emit some kind of disgusting, foul and unclean smell.
Charles rushed over and touched Anna's tentacles with his hands worriedly, "Anna, what happened?"
Anna responded in a very painful tone: "Whatever you want to do, you'd better hurry up! That kind of mental pollution comes from this city! And it's getting stronger and stronger!"
Charles didn't hesitate when he heard this. He snatched the glowing triangle from Linda's hand and said to the ghosts around him, "Answer me, what is inside this city? Has anyone of you been there?"
Looking at the glowing triangle, the ghost returned to Charles' question.
"I saw a figure growing ryegrass in it, and it invited me to go, but I didn't go. My body rotted away, and I didn't need to eat."
"I have been to the bottom of this city. There is also a city underneath the city. This city is not a piece of cake, but a big cube."
The ghosts' words were a little confusing, but at least they gave some information, that is, the city was not very dangerous and they had all been there.
And now they have a special abnormality, they are now immortal, which makes Charles feel that this risk is worth taking. Without death, he will have nothing to fear.
"Narwhal forward!"
With Charles' order, the submarine's propeller blades started turning again and headed towards the city.
Taking this opportunity, Charles waved the glowing triangle in his hand at Linda.
"I'm not asking you whether these guys are the Pope's backup. I'm asking you, can I use this thing to command these ghosts and fight for us?"
Linda nodded. "Yes, they are all the most devout believers of the God of Light. Even if they have lost their minds, they are still our compatriots."
"Very good." Charles put the white triangle directly into his pocket and stared at the strange huge city in front of him.
Time passed little by little, and the Narwhal was getting closer and closer to the light. Charles, who was sticking to the glass, could almost see the vague outline, and it seemed to be a real key.
Charles' heart was beating fast, "Closer, closer, as long as we are sure it is really the key, our goal will be achieved this time!!"
However, at this moment, Anna suddenly let out a wail, and her huge swollen body collapsed to the ground and kept twitching.
Charles rushed over quickly and asked nervously: "Anna!!"
Even as she spoke this, black, sticky blood flowed out from all over her tentacles, and her grapefruit-sized yellow cross-shaped pupils were filled with bloodshot.
With the support of these anomalies, the Diva monsters, which were already very terrifying, became even more terrifying.
Anna was in a lot of pain now, Charles could see it, he bit his gums tightly and glanced at the light getting closer and closer in the distance, then he turned his head and shouted at the bandage at the helm in the cockpit: "Return! Return now!!"
"Snap~" A tentacle rested on Charles' body, and the huge yellow eyeball stared at him, with deep fear hidden in it.
"Gao Zhiming! Run! The faster the better. Something is coming. You definitely can't handle that thing!!"
As soon as Anna finished speaking, several sailors who were supposed to be standing in front of the glass window fell to the ground without any warning.
Charles looked out the glass window and saw a huge translucent palm as big as a mountain slowly rising from the city.
The palm blocked the strange metallic light, and the light passed through the translucent giant palm, casting the evil patterns on the palm onto Charles' frightened face.
He had seen this thing before. It was the hand of God.
