Charles' heart skipped a beat when he saw the giant hand in the purple mist grabbing the black cloak.
Darkness does not disappear for no reason, it is really taken away by some existence.
The video was still playing on the screen. A huge hand grabbed over and its fingers slammed down like giant pillars. Houses collapsed one after another. A piece of broken glass flew over and twisted the camera. Cracks in the spider web appeared in the video.
Through the crooked lens, Charles saw that 068 was also caught by it and dragged towards the hazy cube in the purple mist along with the darkness.
The purple mist was receding rapidly, but the hazy block did not appear in front of Charles. It was dragging these two things and moving rapidly backwards.
As time went on, the square in the purple mist seemed to be gradually changing shape.
"Wait." Charles double-clicked the right button of his mouse to pause the video, took out the diary in his arms and began to draw quickly.
Now that we have the body of the God of Light as an anchor point, we can calculate based on the video where this thing has taken the darkness.
"This guy is very fast. Judging from the ground movement, it is at least 40 nautical miles, no, 50 nautical miles! And according to the time..."
Just as Charles was calculating the problem, Dipper's somewhat nervous voice came from outside. "Captain... Captain!"
"What's wrong? I'm busy now!!" asked Charles, staring at the screen.
"You'd better come and take a look. It seems like something is coming."
Dipper outside the door looked nervously at a row of bird heads in the darkness in the distance. They were crowded together and neatly formed a wall, slowly approaching this side.
"Whatever it is, just hold on! I'll be right there."
Seeing that something was wrong outside, Charles didn't have time to look at it slowly. After thinking quickly for a few seconds, he directly typed his name in the address bar.
Soon a folder named Charles appeared on it. He moved the mouse and dragged the video directly into his memory.
Now that you have found the clue, just put it into your mind and look for it slowly later.
However, at this moment, an unexpected person jumped from his memory to the slowly moving progress bar.
That was Tuba. Charles would not be mistaken. That was Tuba. He had seen him once on the screen before, in the same stick figure style.
But now it was three-dimensional, stretching out most of its body and waving at Charles.
"Charles, I finally got in touch with you. This was really difficult. Did you receive the message I asked my friend to bring to you? It is very important to bring the darkness back." A line of words popped up from the dialog box above Tuba's head.
As Charles' fingers continued to press, the flesh-and-blood keyboard made a "clicking" sound.
"Why are you still in here? Didn't you say before that you would soon regain your sanity after getting rid of the Blackboard Eraser?"
Tuba seemed very angry when he saw the message Charles typed.
"I still have to ask you this! Why do you run my body around?"
"Do you know that the road at this angle is already difficult to walk? I almost returned to my own side before, but you took my body to another place!!"
Charles was stunned for a moment. When Tuba mentioned taking him away, he should have been referring to the time when he took him to the place where Futan was teaching.
It turned out that my good intentions led to bad consequences. If I had just thrown Tuba to Hope Island and left him there, he might have returned to normal long ago.
"How long will it take you to come back? Do you need me to move your body closer to your current position?"
"No, please don't. From your perspective, you can't understand the distance on my side. You just need to put me on Hope Island. I will get there in at most half a year."
"Try to hurry up. Earthsea is in big trouble right now. We need your special ability as a prophet."
Although Tuba looks very crazy, his ability to predict the future is really strong and is of great help in finding darkness.
"I can't get out completely yet, those guys will follow me." Tuba shook his head.
"Bang bang bang!" Several gunshots were heard outside the door.
Charles glanced at the slowly increasing progress bar and continued to follow Tuba and asked, "Which guys? The erasers? Aren't they dead?"
"No, they won't die. They will never die. They are like the wind, always appearing and disappearing invisibly. Do you think the wind will die? We probably pissed them off last time. There may be more than two of them next time."
"Captain! Are you ready? We can't hold on any longer! There are too many of these things! We have to break out!" Dipper's anxious roar came from outside.
"Right away, just a few seconds at most!" Charles said as he looked at the progress bar that was close to 95%.
"Swish!" The progress bar disappeared, and in Charles' mind, a lot of special memories of the day before he met Anna were abruptly mixed in.
"Charles, if you have time, remember to bring 068 back to Earthsea. The longer it stays here, the more primitive it becomes. If it stays here any longer, it will probably turn back into a living creature. It doesn't want that, and I don't want to see it like that either."
"I'll try, but I can't guarantee it." Charles' eyes jumped directly to the computer desk, ready to shut down at any time.
He turned and rushed out the door. The alley, which should have been deserted, was now shrouded in smoke and death.
Rows of birdmen rushed towards this side. They were wearing the black uniforms of the special forces, but they did not use various hot weapons. Instead, their bodies kept splitting towards this side, and they disappeared out of thin air from time to time.
"Captain!! There are too many people outside! We don't know where these weird things came from! We are trapped here!" After Dipper said this anxiously, he threw two grenades over with his right hand.
Facing such a desperate situation, Charles did not seem to be very panicked. He patted him on the shoulder with his hand and said, "It's okay. We won't leave from here. We will leave the same way we left last time."
This is also the reason why Charles only brought a small crew member on this exploration.
He walked into the house and searched for the locations of his crew members. He framed them all with the mouse and dragged them directly out of the computer screen.
With a "swoosh", the outside suddenly became quiet, and Charles started to move himself the next second.
But at this moment, an accident occurred. The whole room suddenly stood up, with the computer above and the door below.
