"Sister? Have you seen me? Have you also traveled through time? Where exactly is this place?" The boy was confused about what Anna had just said.
"Haha~" Anna walked towards the boy with a playful smile on her face, "Don't stand on the stone, come down quickly and let your sister hug you."
Looking at Anna's sexy figure, the boy thought of something, his face instantly turned red, and he avoided the other person's gaze in panic, "No, no, I'm fine squatting here."
Anna smiled and looked at Charles jokingly, "He is much cuter than you. Why don't we get divorced? I want to live with him more than with you."
Charles was shocked to see the boy standing on the floating rock in front of him. He was wearing jeans and a blue jacket. This was himself more than ten years ago, when he first came to Earthsea. He was Charles in the past!
The other party obviously did not realize that Charles was his future self, because the change in appearance was so great.
When he saw the arrow next to him pointing straight at him, Charles immediately realized that he was his own shadow. It was because the shadow had taken away all his previous memories that he now believed that he was the one who had just traveled through time!
At this time, Feuerbach seemed to have come to his senses and shouted to Charles' back: "Captain! Ask something important. We are still inside the enemy's body! We must find darkness and get out as soon as possible."
Charles, frowning, walked up to him, and after choosing his words, he asked him, "Are you the only one here?"
"Yeah, it's so annoying what you say, but there's not even one person here. What kind of bullshit time travel is this? How can you travel through time like this? Robinson Crusoe also has Friday to keep him company," the boy complained indignantly.
"Then do you see a dark area here?" Charles asked.
Since the other party doesn't know, it would be better to get some information from him first. After all, Charles was a simple-minded person when he was a teenager.
The boy looked puzzled. "Darkness? It's always been like this here."
Then he thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "Well, can you take me out of here? I've been in this damn place for several years. I don't want to do anything now. I just want to see someone, anyone."
When everyone present heard Anna's translation, their hearts sank. Even though they used Charles to find his shadow, they still couldn't find the darkness.
After hearing this, both Julio and the gods of the Heike tribe used their own detection methods. They wanted to find the darkness in their own way.
"Don't panic, we have a backup plan!"
Feuerbach's words made Anna show a trace of contempt on her face. "You guys have lived for so long, and you have lived like dogs, right? You are really a disgrace to the Foundation. What qualifications do you have for the Foundation?"
Anna said, and took out Charles's sailing diary. She flipped through it gently and went straight to the second to last page. "Shanshan, this place is well sealed, you shouldn't be able to feel that horrible aura, come and help mom and dad find something."
While everyone else was showing off their talents, Charles was still communicating with his past self. Since he had lived here for so many years, if there was anyone who knew this place better, it was no one else but him.
"Uncle, I really didn't see any darkness. I don't need that thing, so why would I hide it?" the boy answered with a sad face.
"This place is so desolate, there's not even a place to stay. If I didn't know how it would happen, I would have starved to death without food or water."
After getting Charles' accurate answer, a trace of sadness appeared on the boy's young face, but he quickly pretended to be indifferent.
"Nothing, I just asked casually. After all, besides the three of us, no one else here speaks Chinese. Uncle, since we are all time travelers, please help me out in the other world in the future."
Charles stretched out his right hand towards him, and said with a complicated expression: "Come over first, I'll figure out your problem later."
Maybe it was because of 002 that my shadow became what it is now, but no matter what, I'll put my personal affairs aside. Although it seems that this guy's problem may not be so easy to solve.
"Thanks." The boy grabbed Charles' hand and jumped onto the deck. As soon as he got to the deck, he looked behind Charles curiously, "Huh? Uncle, you are so invisible."
He had just said half of his words when his body suddenly froze. With a look of fear on his face, his body began to dissolve rapidly, eventually turning into a pool of black, and completely turned into a black shadow connected to Charles' feet.
The moment he connected with Charles, all kinds of memories suddenly flooded into Charles' head. These memories included the memories of disappearing with the shadow, and the memories of the few years that the shadow had lived in this octahedron.
Their memories and consciousness merged into one in an instant.
"Ah!!" Charles, with a painful expression, knelt on one knee, covering his head. The vast amount of memories almost washed away his consciousness.
When Shanshan and Anna helped him up from the ground, he suddenly opened his eyes with cold sweat all over his body and shouted with all his strength: "Wait!! I know where the darkness is!!"
These words instantly attracted everyone to gather around and stare at Charles.
"Dad, are you really okay?" Worried, Shanshan reached out and stroked Charles' back.
"I'm fine. My lost memories are back. My shadow just lied. He has seen darkness before, but it was just the first time we met. He didn't tell us in order to be on guard against us!"
After saying this, Charles turned his head and looked at Feuerbach, "Don't look for backup plans, just do what I say! Head due south! The darkness is resting there! We must hurry."
Feuerbach was stunned and quickly pressed his earphone to say something. Soon, the jet began to accelerate, pulling the Narwhal.
Soon they arrived at the place. It was still a mess and nothing was around. Just when everyone cast suspicious eyes on Charles, Charles walked to the bow and called out softly with a complicated expression, "Friday! Don't hide, I'm Gao Zhiming! We have no ill intentions."
At first, nothing appeared around, but slowly the darkness in front began to condense, and gradually bulged outward, condensing into a human face formed by darkness. This face was extremely large, covering no boundaries, and the hazy chaotic mist seemed to be the body of this face.
