"Beep, beep, beep~!!" The shrill alarm sounded continuously from Feuerbach and others. They seemed to sense that Anna's memory was being pried into, and their expressions showed extreme shock.
"Haha, that's really interesting. They actually have consciousness protection. But this little trick doesn't work on me. Um... let me see... Oh my god, they were actually cloned from eggs! The Foundation's genetic modification technology is really powerful."
"Don't look at these useless things, just look at their memories after they become adults."
"I know what you are urging me to do."
Just as Anna was checking their memories, Charles suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with their faces, which began to turn deathly gray.
He rushed forward and tore open the mouth of a certain Feuerbach.
One of his back teeth had been broken, and the strong smell of rusty metal made Charles' eyes hurt.
"Charles, don't smell it! It's poisonous!"
Hearing Anna's reminder, Charles instantly exerted force with his biceps and punched Feuerbach directly in the chest, knocking him out.
Feuerbach hit the steel hatch hard, bounced back and fell to the ground, dead.
"Pah, pah, pah~" All the Feuerbachs fell to the ground limply. Seeing that they could not stop Anna from stealing their memories, they committed suicide decisively.
Charles pressed his fingers on their necks and found that they were all dead. There must be important information in these guys' memories.
"Anna, can you extract the memories of the dead?" Charles asked with some hopelessness.
"Ha, do you think I'm a god? How can you read the information of a dead person?" Anna said she couldn't do it.
She raised her head and looked at the huge black wall next to her. She said with some emotion, "I really found it. Charles, you are amazing. You are going to be a hero who saves all mankind."
Charles walked up to her and stared at the black wall with a frown. "It's not over yet. We have to take the darkness back. Judging from the Foundation's actions, this won't be easy."
Time passed by minute by minute as he waited, and soon a day passed. Charles knew that he could not wait any longer and had to do something.
"Jimmy, go back now and inform the Giant Pit Fortress of everything that happened here. The darkness has been found." Charles ordered the captain who discovered the darkness.
"Okay, Governor Charles." Jimmy nodded vigorously and led his crew back along the original route.
"Severus, this is a camera. Take it and fly up to see what's there." Charles ordered the sailor vampire on the ship.
"Um... Me? Alone?" Severus widened his eyes and pointed at his nose.
"Yes, it's you, go!"
Hearing Charles' resolute tone, Severus turned into a bat with a bitter face and flew towards the huge dark wall.
Charles knew that this was very dangerous. Who knows what was above the earth's surface. Judging from past experience, it was extremely dangerous, but someone had to explore the way.
As a vampire from Dark Crystal Island, Severus is a qualified spy. Charles does not completely trust him. It is no wonder that he trusts his mistress Lilith more than himself.
When Charles saw Severus disappear in the sky, he turned to Anna beside him and said, "You go back. I can handle the next thing myself."
Anna held her chin and looked at him straight. "Do you want to get me out of the way and take the risk yourself? There have been so many casualties at the Foundation. Do you really think you can get away unscathed?"
Anna did not stop him. She glanced at Lily who was in the group of rats nearby. She walked to Charles and said to him, "I won't stop you, but when you go up, remember to bring the little mouse with you. If you encounter a problem that you can't solve, catch her and throw her at the enemy."
Seeing Charles' surprised look, Anna went on to explain: "This mouse has the power of the God of Light in its body. It will be passively triggered only when it is in danger. If you use it well, it can be of great use."
"The problem is that Lily will probably die."
"You have such a good relationship with her? Is her life more important or yours? This is the power from the gods. It would be the biggest waste if we just leave it unused."
Charles subconsciously looked at Lily beside him. The little mouse felt the gaze and turned around to show him a big smile.
"That's it. Be safe. I'm going back." Anna stood on tiptoe of her high heels, lightly touched Charles' lips, and disappeared in an instant.
What followed was an anxious wait, waiting for Severus, although Charles felt that the chances of him coming back were a little slim.
But I don’t know if it was because Severus was lucky or for some other reason, but three hours later, he actually came back.
He stumbled and fell headfirst onto the deck, gasping for breath and sweating profusely.
Charles pulled him up from the ground with his hands. "What's up there? What happened to you? Are you in any danger?"
Severus trembled as he took out a metal wine flask from his cloak. After drinking a bottle of human blood, his complexion recovered a little. "Captain, there is an island up there."
"Island? Island in the sky? Are you sure you are not seeing things?" Charles was very surprised.
"Yes, the island in the sky. I took some photos, but I didn't dare get too close, so the photos are a little blurry." Severus took out a few photos from his arms.
When the sailor sent the photo to the darkroom for development, Charles saw the floating island in the photo.
Because of the darkness, the photo was blurry, and only some outlines could be seen. There was a huge floating island in the sky, and without a reference, Charles could not tell the size of the island.
There was light on one side of the island. That light was not the ordinary red fire light, but the bright white welding light.
There are still people from the Foundation on the island, and they are not all dead.
"Captain, I suggest you bring the airship over here. That place is too high for our ship to go up there."
Charles looked at the photo and shook his head. "We don't have that much time to wait. If we wait any longer, the people from the foundation might leave. They just encountered an attack. Now is a good opportunity for me to go up."
"Whether it's to capture a tongue and interrogate him, or to help them in time of need, or to cooperate with them to bring back the darkness, now is the best opportunity. We must go up now."
There aren't many candidates to go to the floating island. Dipper's ability is very effective against those things, so he must be brought along. A doctor must also be brought along, and finally, there are the powerful Bandage and Nico.
Charles turned into a bat and flew with Severus and Odric towards the huge dark wall ahead.
