The perspective of this thing is always so weird. Even if two people are standing on the same line, the distance between the "mirror" and the two people is different.
It's as if it doesn't exist objectively, but subjectively.
As long as the position is slightly different, the mirrors in different people's eyes will appear in different shapes.
Just like now, the "mirror" has disappeared in Charles' eyes, but the bandage is still affected by it.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and after a while, the bandages, which had returned to normal, gradually withdrew to the south.
Seeing the other party escape, Dipper whistled excitedly, turned his head and asked: "Captain, do you think this thing is a bit like James' purple pyramid? It also grows and shrinks."
Charles was stunned when he heard this, and then said to him: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go and meet the first mate."
The other two cars quickly turned and headed behind the bandage.
With the help of the wheel marks, Charles easily found the bandage.
Just as both parties got off the car and quickly met up, they both discovered something was wrong.
The size of the bandage suddenly became ten centimeters smaller. Not only the size, but every aspect of him was smaller.
"Damn it, it's probably because I didn't adjust the ratio right just now, causing him to leave the range of the "mirror" prematurely." Charles felt a little annoyed.
"Captain... how did you become... so... big?" Bandage said with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Charles said with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "What do you mean I've grown up? It's obviously you—"
He was halfway through his words when he froze. The next second, Charles rushed to the front seat of the car and took out his diary.
"Shanshan, please let mom come over here."
Soon, Anna, with an impatient look on her face, reappeared in front of Charles with the tentacles of the twinkling.
But when she first appeared in front of him, Charles was stunned.
Anna, who was already small in stature and only half a head smaller than Charles, now had her face only touching Charles' chest when they stood together.
Charles is now over 1.9 meters tall. If he grows taller, he will probably catch up with Elizabeth.
Moreover, he did not grow taller by more heads, but rather the overall enlargement of all parts of his body.
Charles realized at this moment that it wasn't the bandage that got smaller, but he got bigger! !
He didn't notice it before because he had no reference. It was he himself who was affected by the "mirror".
"Charles, how did you suddenly become so big?" Surprised Anna stood on tiptoe and pointed at the top of Charles' head with her hand.
Charles sighed helplessly, "I don't want to say anything more, just look through my memory, we must find the mirror and readjust it."
"Why adjust it? Wouldn't it be better if it's a little bigger?" Anna smiled and pinched Charles' palm with her fingers.
"It's okay for me to be older, but I'm just worried that this abnormality may have side effects on the human body." Charles shook her hand away.
"That shouldn't be the case. Didn't the mummy shrink for several days?" Anna looked at the bandage next to her that was looking at her with hostility.
Just as Charles was about to say something, the ground suddenly shook inexplicably. "What happened again?"
The next second, a black hole suddenly appeared in the sand not far away, and a black afterimage shot towards Charles and the others along the ground.
Almost at this moment, Charles turned his right hand, raised the flesh and blood revolver and fired continuously at the afterimage.
However, the opponent seemed to be immune to the bullet attack. He did not slow down at all and got directly into a car.
Some people were lucky enough to jump out, but some were unlucky.
Screams were heard and scarlet blood spurted out like bloody knives, continuously hitting the transparent car windows.
"Captain! This thing only has a shadow. Physical attacks are useless against it—" Inside the carriage, Second Mate Krona's voice suddenly stopped.
"Fuck!" Veins suddenly popped up on Charles' forehead. He quickly rushed to the bloody car window, grabbed the door and pulled it hard.
In the carriage that was covered in blood and human viscera, a spiral insect shadow was slowly circling.
Krona said the attacker was only a shadow, but Charles clearly saw a worm.
A strange worm that looked like a collection of long obsidian needles was lying on the ground. It was more like a long hedgehog, and it was using the sharp weapon on its body to cut one of the arms of the big wheel tube.
"Magnet~!" The white electric arc hit the insect, but there was no reaction at all.
But Charles' reaction caused the other party to react. The worm stopped its actions and the suspended obsidian needles on its body began to rotate again.
At this critical moment, a cloud of blue mist and rapidly growing thorns also filled all the gaps in the carriage.
That was the ability of Dipper and Bandage. Although they couldn't see it, they could sense it. They quickly found the worm.
However, the opponent's rapidly rotating black spikes made their attacks ineffective.
Whether it's blue mist or thorns, they will be quickly chopped into pieces once they get close.
"Come out! I'll deal with this thing!" After Charles said that, his body quickly deformed into a bat monster. His big mouth full of sharp teeth opened, and from the depths of his throat came an extremely harsh sound, like nails rubbing against a blackboard.
Faced with Charles' sonic attack, all the long needles on the worm's body trembled slightly.
After a few brief seconds, there was a crisp "pop" sound, and the worm fell directly to the ground, falling apart.
The shrill sound stopped. Charles didn't care about the worm. His hands trembled as he searched for something in the flesh.
Soon he found half of Second Mate Krona's face. As Charles picked it up, the pink brain matter slid from the skull onto the carriage. His face was full of shock, as if he could hardly imagine that he would die here.
Charles' lips trembled slightly, but he knew now was not the time to grieve.
He gritted his teeth and sat up, suppressing the grief in his heart and said to the people outside the car: "Let's go! It's not safe here! Return to the Giant Pit Fortress immediately! Who knows how many of these bugs there are!"
The car started again. Charles stayed in the bloody car and asked Krona's head in confusion, "Don't you have a life-saving relic? Why did you die suddenly?"
"Because his belongings were chopped into pieces." Anna's voice suddenly came from behind.
Charles turned his head and saw Anna holding a half-cut black-faced ceramic doll, a broken blade, and the last broken ring.
"This kid is very afraid of death. Even though the price was high, he still brought three life-saving relics. But these three relics were chopped into pieces by the things that came out of the sand." Anna put her bloody finger into her mouth and sucked it.
"The relic can't be so fragile. Even shooting with bullets won't do any harm to such special things, unless..." Charles thought of something, he bent down and picked up the scattered black needles on the ground.
The thick ten centimeter long needle was not heavy and felt about the same weight as plastic, but it was extremely sharp and could easily pierce any metal.
Looking at this thing, Charles inexplicably thought of his broken black blade.
"Only relics can kill other relics so easily. I didn't expect that bug would be a relic." Anna also picked up one and waved it vigorously.
Recalling the extremely strange mirror he had just seen, Charles shook his head slightly.
"No, I'm afraid it's not just this bug. I guess most of the things on the surface are relics. This is basically a world of relics. These relics are more powerful and more... primitive."
