Just when 096 was two meters away from Dipper, a sharp scream suddenly sounded in the air.
The bright white clown mask suddenly looked up and found a giant bat hanging upside down on the tree trunk like the Grim Reaper.
Just as it was about to escape, the giant bat spread its wings and smashed down with its huge body like a missile.
The sound of breaking bones continued to be heard, and the host of 096 was paralyzed by Charles.
096 seemed to know that he could not win, so he fell off his face easily and turned around to run away again.
At this time, Dipper beside the campfire turned around quickly and threw out the big net in his hand. At this time, the crew members who were pretending to be asleep around him turned over, holding various things in their hands, and rushed towards 096 in the net.
This is a trap, a trap used to ambush 096.
As Charles, who had transformed into a human again, approached, the four blood-sucking fangs in his mouth had grown out, and his originally handsome face was twisting into the horrible appearance of a bat.
The blind vampire next to him quickly handed over the blood bag, and as Charles sucked the blood bag, the changes in his body quickly disappeared.
"Captain, the relic belongs to us vampires after all. You'd better not use it in the future. Look, your teeth have grown out." The blind vampire reminded him kindly.
Charles put his index finger into his mouth and felt around, and found that the four canine teeth on his gums were indeed much sharper than before.
But Charles had more important things to do at this time, so he turned his attention to 096 who he had captured.
At this time, the clown mask had been stuck firmly on a thick wooden board by thick nails and could no longer move.
"Why did you become active?" Charles asked.
"Humans! You disgusting and lowly creatures, I will kill you all!!" 096 on the wooden board roared and cursed.
"Where did you find those hosts?" All he got in response was a barrage of insults.
Seeing that 096 didn't say anything, Charles didn't bother to talk nonsense and just raised his gun and shot.
"Ding!" The bullet and the mask actually made a metallic collision sound.
096's ferocious face revealed a wild laugh, "I am the hardest object in the world. Your little tricks can't hurt me! You can't believe how great a being created me!"
"Really? You have the toughest mask? I happen to have a knife that can easily cut through steel. I really want to know, which is harder, your mask or my knife."
Seeing Charles take out the black blade from his boots, 096's arrogance instantly disappeared, and the expression on its porcelain-like white face changed rapidly.
"Sizzle!" The black blade scraped 096 hard, and along with the sound of nails rubbing against the blackboard, wisps of white powder fell down.
"Human, you win. I found these carcasses underground in the woods to the east." A rare expression of fear appeared on 096's face.
Charles led it eastward without saying a word, and the other crew members quickly followed.
While on the way, Charles was not idle either. He asked 096 why it became active, but this time it still did not give an answer.
Even if Charles used the black blade to force him to speak, he couldn't say it. He just said that he suddenly began to think, and hated humans very much in his heart.
Charles was skeptical about what this thing said. Maybe this guy was actually alive all along and had just been lurking before.
As they were talking, Charles and the others came to the woods in the east. Under the guidance of 096, they found a small tree hole from which a strange red light was slowly and steadily emitting.
Richard jumped out and asked, "Are you sure it's here? Are you planning to ambush me with a trap?"
Charles thought for a few seconds, then twisted his body and said to the white mouse on the ground: "Lily, ask your friend to come in and take a look."
There is no need to explore such dangerous places by yourself. Rats are more suitable for these small environments.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak~!" Lily called softly a few times, and four brown mice rushed in quickly.
The wait was not long, and soon all the mice came back and squeaked around Lily.
The white mouse waved its little paws and translated, "They said it was so red, so big, and so long inside!"
"What kind of description is this? Can you ask them to be more specific?"
Lily scratched her head and continued to discuss with the mice. After a few seconds, she turned around and said, "They said that this place is very similar to the place where the big bugs that like to eat them live."
"Where does the big bug live? The third laboratory!" Charles showed a hint of surprise on his face.
"Could there be other laboratories in this cave?" Charles suddenly felt that this was very likely. If there was a third laboratory, there must be the first and second. When such an organization existed, it was impossible for it to occupy only one island.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Charles decided to go in and take a look. In addition to looking for clues to the surface exit, the doctor's tablet also made Charles curious. Where did the generation of humans who built these things go
"This place is rather small, so Lily and I can go. You stay put. The first mate will take charge while I'm away."
Watching Charles and the mice sneaking into the hole, 096, who was nailed to the wood, showed a sinister smile.
Charles slowly moved down the tunnel entangled with tree roots, and he saw a cracked and twisted corridor supported by tree roots.
This familiar decoration, familiar scene. Charles confirmed his suspicion that this place was a facility similar to the third laboratory.
As for the source of the red light, it came from the crooked square lights on the ceiling, flickering as if issuing a danger warning.
"Oh my god, man, this is a steal. There are so many relics in the third laboratory, so there must be a lot in this place as well."
Charles ignored his voice and continued walking down the corridor.
The corridor, which should have been straight, was made larger and smaller by various tree roots, and Charles could only climb up and down.
Just as he climbed over a tree root, a head with four black holes on it came face to face with him.
Charles' left hand suddenly moved on its own and struck directly at the head.
Just when the blade was 1 centimeter away from the terrifying head, it stopped abruptly.
"Don't do anything, this thing is not hostile." After Charles said this to the other personality, he slowly moved his head back, and a new body appeared in front of him again.
This human body, consisting only of flesh, blood and bones, stood still without any movement.
Charles stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him, but there was still no response. He put his finger on its face and found it was hot.
Although it is unbelievable, this body without any organs is still alive.
