"You're fake, you're not my captain at all!" Dipper said with a serious expression as he stood next to the green monster.
"What makes you think I'm not Charles?"
At this moment, he saw the green centipede in front of him raise the corner of his mouth slightly, and quickly write a line of words on the ground with his twitching fingers.
"No matter how real you pretend to be and even if you take away everything from me, there are always some things that I have and you don't, because the real Charles would never hurt Lily."
"That's right..." Bandage slowly emerged from the soil on the ground and stood next to the green monster.
"Lily is the captain's most beloved pet. You, a fake, don't know how much the captain has paid to save her." Chef Planck added after touching his nose with his hand.
Gradually, the crew of the Narwhal moved away from their captain, leaving a large vacuum zone around him.
Seeing their actions, the others who came down did the same thing. Everyone took out various relics and weapons and pointed them at their former commanders.
“Hehehe…” Charles laughed dryly. He took out a long cigarette with his right hand and put it in his lips.
He placed two fingers on the front of the cigarette, an arc of electricity flashed slightly, and the cigarette was lit instantly.
Nico was stunned when he saw this scene. He reached into his pocket and found that the cigarette in it was gone at some point.
"Charles, that's great. You actually set a trap to trick me? You are so smart. Isn't your brain just a decoration?" Charles took Lily out and threw her to the ground.
1189-1, who possessed Charles' memory, knew that it was impossible to use Lily to threaten them. The power in Lily's body was a big problem and might explode. Fortunately, the little mouse could not control this power now.
"We have discovered your and your compatriots' plans. You are all dead!!!" Charles used his sharp fingernails to draw three big exclamation marks.
Charles slowly exhaled a smoke ring, without any panic on his face.
"See through? What a joke! Do you really think that we have been able to survive in this place for so many years just by relying on the ability to replace our bodies? We are much stronger than you think."
As he spoke, a sound of footsteps approached from afar, and the human whose body had been replaced appeared behind him, followed by a large group of densely packed green centipedes.
"Turn off all the lights! They must exchange bodies through visual and tactile contact!!" Charles quickly shared the information he found.
"Snap, snap, snap!" The light of the flashlight disappeared in an instant, and the tunnel fell into darkness again.
The darkness did not last long. The tunnel was once again illuminated by the muzzle flashes and grenade explosions, and the two sides instantly engaged in a battle.
During this time, a figure shrouded in white light stood in the middle of the battlefield. "Come on! Come and test Captain Charles' true strength!!"
A white light flashed, and he instantly appeared in the crowd with arcs of electricity all over his body. Transparent tentacles stretched out from his hands and turned into a long lightning whip.
"Snap!" The long whip was swung down with force, and all the people it touched began to twitch violently and smoke came out of their bodies.
"Look! Look quickly!! Your power is not very useful for exploration, but it is very convenient for killing people!!" There was a hint of madness in his voice.
With two "puff" sounds, two sharp black thorns flew over and pierced the transparent tentacles in front of Charles that were used for protection.
Before he could open his mouth to mock, he felt that he couldn't breathe, and a cloud of blue mist was blocking his trachea. That was Dipper's ability, and he kept drilling into it.
As he controlled the tentacles to push Dipper out of his throat, black vines began to grow out from the ground and kept wrapping around him.
At this moment, a green light flashed past him quickly, and a sharp black thorn instantly pierced his lower abdomen.
"Hahaha! Interesting!! Come on!! Kill me! If I die, your body will be completely ruined! You will be trapped in that deformed monster's body for the rest of your life!!" 1189-1 seemed to have been infected with Charles' madness, and he didn't seem to care about death.
The opponent's words slowed down everyone's attack, and 1189-1 immediately took this opportunity to counterattack.
"Show your true strength! The captain said it! It doesn't matter if he can't get it back! It's just a body!!" Dipper's voice changed the situation again.
Facing the Narwhal crew who already knew Charles's abilities, the two sides fought evenly.
But the lightning on Charles' body was gradually getting smaller. This power was indeed very strong, but it also meant that it consumed a lot of energy and could not last long.
Just as he was attacking, Linda suddenly emerged from the ground right under Charles and inserted her arm from under his body directly into Charles' abdomen.
The transparent tentacles swung towards her with a whistling sound, but as soon as the tentacles touched her body, they fell directly out from the other side of her body.
It was as if her body was just an afterimage.
"Thank you. It's indeed difficult to kill the captain's body, but our purpose is not to kill him."
After saying that, Linda pulled her hand hard and took out the diary from the air.
After succeeding, she disappeared into the ground in an instant. A few seconds later, the diary was delivered to the real Charles.
Upon seeing this scene, 1189-1 suddenly became anxious and madly wanted to rush over to take back the diary.
But the attacks of the other crew members quickly prevented him from approaching.
Charles smiled and wrote a line on the ground. "I really have nothing now, but I still have my crew."
After saying that, Charles opened the diary and tapped on the shining portrait.
After a few seconds, Anna's tentacles covered with black scales stretched out from inside.
When he saw the green centipede next to him, he was stunned. "Charles, what are you doing?"
Then, she seemed to notice something and looked at Charles' body on the other side.
"Two Charles' consciousnesses? No, no, let me see..."
Anna frowned, touching her chin with her slender white fingers, and her bright eyes swept through the people around her. She seemed to be browsing everyone's memory.
Seeing this scene, 1189-1 seemed to be frightened, with a look of horror on his face.
He quickly turned around and began to retreat, shouting as he retreated: "Get that big guy here! Emergency situation!!"
Anna covered her mouth and smiled. She held Charles's green deformed head and kissed him. "Husband, your body is gone. Wait, I'll go get your body back. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
