Faced with such an abnormality, Charles, with a ferocious expression, tightly grasped his brain, which was not covered by the skull, with his hands.
At this moment, his mouth seemed not to belong to him, mechanically repeating the murmur in his mind. However, when Charles activated the special ability of the crystal heart, the feeling was finally bearable.
The trembling Charles looked towards Futan in the darkness. He seemed to see that Futan's deformed giant eye had cracked open! !
"Enough! Stop! We surrender!!" A panic-stricken voice finally came out of the communicator.
As Charles raised his hand vigorously, the increasingly high-pitched singing suddenly stopped. Everyone's eyes were focused on Futan.
In the suffocating atmosphere, the giant fell asleep again, and with his breath, the time and space around him began to be torn and healed again.
This time, Ftan's appearance changed again, and some female characteristics appeared on his horrific body.
Almost at this moment, everyone collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, even though they were in the deep sea and even though they had done nothing.
Anna ran over and excitedly helped Charles up, "Charles! We won!!"
As Anna left the concentric circle, the picture that had unfolded like a scroll closed again and turned into an evil green city in the deep trench.
Looking at Anna in front of him, Charles, who was weak, smiled and nodded, "As I said, there must be a third way. We can all survive."
"Charles, Plan 3 has been terminated, but do you really think you have won? Your behavior is a betrayal to all mankind. If mankind is ever to perish in the future, you will be the culprit! You will lead mankind into an endless abyss!!"
I don't know who said this, but after the voice from the communicator was spoken, the metal disc became silent again.
Charles smiled into the communicator and said nothing in the end.
When Winky teleported everyone back to Hope Island, she got the information from the telegram that the black wall had retreated, and everything that should have been swallowed by the black wall was returned. The Earthsea was safe again.
Charles didn't know what happened afterwards because he was too tired. The impact of Futan that was so close to him almost shattered his sanity and consciousness, even though he had mental strength that was several times stronger than that of an ordinary person, and the immunity brought by the crystal heart.
He had a dream, a dream in which he kept falling downwards. When he slowly opened his eyes, he found himself lying on an unusually soft silk quilt.
"Are you awake? Are you hungry? The meal is ready, get up and eat." Anna's voice came from behind his head.
Charles quickly straightened up and turned his head to see that his daughter and wife were fixing their hair.
He was about to open his mouth to speak when Anna stopped him. "I know the Foundation won't let this go. We must be prepared for everything, including the appeasement of 134. Any of their actions will be restricted, and they will never be found by the Foundation."
"The various disciplines of the Relic Research Institute are also accelerating. We will do our best to improve technology and try to raise our technological level to a level similar to that of the Foundation before the deterrent force weakens."
Anna's words said everything Charles wanted to say. He opened his mouth but couldn't add anything. Charles, who had calmed down, noticed the hair in Anna's hand.
Hair? I don't even have a scalp, where does the hair come from? Charles immediately stood up and looked at the floor-length mirror next to him.
The black hair that disappeared along with the scalp came back again, but it was not real hair, but wriggling tentacles with black scales. The tentacles were very thick, and it only took a few to cover Charles' head. At first glance, they looked like dreadlocks.
"How is it? Does it look good? Shanshan originally planned to use hers, but after thinking about it, she decided not to. Her tentacles are green, and I guess men don't like green on their hair." Anna stretched out her hands from behind and hugged Charles.
Charles put his hand between the tentacles, but did not touch his disappeared skull. Instead, he touched a layer of tentacles entwined with each other. Anna's tentacles replaced the function of hair and skull.
"What's the use of this?" Charles pulled the tentacles on his head in front of the mirror.
"What's the use of hair? It looks good, but it's better than going out on the street with your head bare." Anna's soft and slender body slid to Charles' chest and looked at him with a smile. "Everything is over, it's finally quiet, and you don't have to run around anymore."
Charles looked into her eyes and said with some emotion: "It's not that simple. There is still a lot to do."
Charles put his arm around Anna's waist tacitly and kissed her gently, their breathing gradually becoming heavier.
But just when Charles wanted to take the next step, he felt something was wrong. He suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look behind him, and found his daughter sitting there watching with great interest.
"Hey~ Shanshan, do you have anything else to do? Do you need to see your good friend?" Charles gave a lame excuse.
"No need, she is in school now and I don't want to disturb her." Shanshan seemed not to understand and said calmly.
Just as Charles was thinking about how to deal with this light bulb, Anna pointed to the door and said, "Get out."
"Oh." Shanshan disappeared in an instant.
Anna's perfect face came closer, and Charles smelled her intoxicating fragrance.
After a long time, the two snuggled together on the bed, looking at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling with rapid breathing.
After enjoying a brief moment of tenderness, Charles put his arm around Anna's smooth shoulders and kissed her hair. "How long do you think the Foundation will behave this time?"
"I think it will take a long time. Do you know what nuclear deterrence is? The situation under this circumstance may be the most solid."
"Haha, that would be great if that were the case. The Foundation will definitely do something tricky. Four sacrifices, three keys to awaken Futan. As long as they take away one of them, our nuclear deterrence will be useless."
"They do their thing, so we do our thing. We already know the location of their base. Earthsea is huge, and the Foundation cannot control the entire Earthsea. We can slowly infiltrate it."
Charles agreed with this. No matter how powerful the Foundation is, when its purpose and existence become known to others, it will no longer be an invincible god.
Anna twirled her hair with her fingers and thought for a while before saying, "By the way, did the Foundation do anything to your brain?"
"Huh? Is there a hidden danger?" Charles, who had just calmed down, suddenly became alert. "Before, there was a being called N8 who conducted experiments on my brain."
Anna shook her head, "I'm not sure if that thing is a hidden danger. There's something else in your memory. That thing gives me a very dangerous feeling."
"It seems to have some ability to devour all will. I don't even dare to observe your memory now."
Charles was very surprised. It was the first time he had seen Anna say such a thing in all these years.
"N8 said at the time that there was a memetic infection in my memory, and the Foundation happened to have a memetic infection as well. She seemed to want to use these two memetic infections to do some experiments. I don't know whether her experiment was successful or not. At least from the current situation, everything is normal for me." Charles touched the tentacles wrapped around his head.
"Memetic infection." Anna leaned in Charles' arms and thought about something. Suddenly she thought of something and sat up abruptly. She looked at Charles' body and found that the "non-existence" that always followed him had disappeared!
"This is really interesting. The Foundation can actually clean up that thing?" Anna showed a very surprised expression on her face.
"What's wrong? What are you looking at?" Charles was very confused about Anna's abnormal behavior.
"Nothing, the halftime break is over." Anna said, and gently twisted her waist and stepped forward.
