Captain Cap, smoking a big pipe, grabbed the rope with one hand and stared at the dark sea which was a little noisy under the searchlight with a frown.
Although it seemed like nothing was happening at the moment, his many years of experience as a ship owner had taught him that something was bound to happen. This was the intuition of an experienced captain.
Because the Explorers Association no longer provides mission rewards or issues exploration missions, all the explorers at sea have long since changed their careers.
There are opportunities everywhere in the sea now. Why not make money? Why go to the sea to seek death
I guess only an old stubborn person like Garp would still stick to his old job.
But at this moment, he now regretted his sudden decision to look for the newly appeared island.
I had already sold my boat and planned to live in Hope Island, so why did I agree to go there just because someone else was persuading me? When will I be able to change my impulsive temper
"Boss, what's going on outside?" A bald head popped out from the door of the cockpit and asked his captain.
Garp turned his head and looked at his helmsman. "Is our ship on course now? I feel something is wrong."
"There's no doubt about it. We are definitely on the route. I just checked it five minutes ago." The bald man said firmly.
"Since we are on the route, why can't I see the navigation mark?" Cap asked, looking at the dark sea.
The bald man waited for a few seconds, then he raised his right hand and pointed towards the bow, "Boss, look, isn't that it?"
Cap squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of his finger. A hazy and shaking light appeared on the dark horizon.
"Speed up and go over to check the numbers on the navigation mark to see if we are going the wrong way."
Following an order from the ship, black smoke continued to spew out of the chimney, and the old exploration ship began to accelerate.
As the distance got closer, the surrounding sea water slowly stabilized and returned to normal, which made Cap feel a little relieved.
Just when they were about to touch the beacon, it disappeared with a bang. The sea surface instantly fell into darkness at this moment, and the beacon disappeared.
At the same time, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, so quiet that it was even too quiet. The rolling sea water instantly turned into smooth glass without a ripple.
"Oh no! Something's happening!" In an instant, Cap took off his shirt, revealing the complex tattoos on his chest and back.
These crowded snake head tattoos are full of evil, and they move slowly on their own, with some gray snake tails even passing through the boundaries of the skin and exposed to the air.
As one of the people who managed to survive from the surface, Garp is no pushover and has all kinds of life-saving attack abilities.
At this moment, he was looking around, looking for something that caused the anomaly.
Suddenly, some peculiar sounds appeared in his ears, those rustling low-frequency sounds. It was as if a group of people were whispering something in the distance. He wanted to listen carefully, but he couldn't hear clearly.
Sweat began to appear on Karp's forehead and his face turned extremely ugly. He felt like he had encountered something extraordinary.
"Splash~" The sound of water suddenly came from the darkness on the right. Karp turned his head suddenly and looked. Even though it was still dark, he could feel an extremely huge and blurry shadow in the darkness. The sound in his ears came from there.
In an instant, Cap and the people on the boat saw something in the darkness. He saw all kinds of deformed organs and limbs!
All the limbs were twisted into shapes that were both acute and obtuse angles, but even though they were twisted like this, they were still shaking constantly, as if trying to grab something.
They also saw the eyes embedded in the flesh, whose pupils looked so tiny compared to the large and strange eye sockets. The color of the pupils was definitely not the common black or blue, but a disgusting, evil dead white.
There was no emotion in those eyes, staring at every creature in this pathetic universe like gods.
"God is God!!" As Garp's sanity collapsed in an instant, the voices in his ears suddenly became amplified, and something was quickly polluting his soul.
Just when he was about to be driven crazy, there was a snap and all the light sources on the scene exploded instantly. When darkness enveloped them, everyone on the boat fainted.
The huge swollen figure in the darkness slowly drooped down, and Charles' body slowly filtered out of those things, standing on the deck with Shanshan.
Looking down at the extremely terrified expressions on the faces of the crew members, Shining shook his head slightly, "Dad, they are just ordinary humans."
"Why would an ordinary human be looking for me? Other than Dipper and the others, no one else should know my location."
This question did not bother Charles for long. Soon he came to the captain's room and found the navigation diary locked with a copper lock.
The brass lock melted instantly, and the contents on it appeared in front of Charles.
"It's really hard for me to refuse the request from the Governor of Hefang Island. I have made enough money, but my grandson has not. Besides, it's just to find an island and we don't need to explore it. There is no reason to refuse such a simple thing."
"And Hicks also accepted the task. If he can take it, why can't I? He is five years older than me. I am not old yet!"
Charles slowly put the diary down, and muttered to himself: "Which Governor Margaret? Is she looking for me? How did she know me?"
"Do you want me to calm her down? I can help her forget some things." Shanshan asked her father.
"Anna? Who is that? I don't know her. My wife is Margaret, what a good girl." The words that Charles from another dimension had said appeared in Charles' mind.
He thought of everything he had experienced with Margaret. He suddenly wanted to see her. "Yes, Margaret is so good, why didn't I see her at the beginning?"
"Shanshan, go check Hefang. Is she in the Governor's Mansion now?" Charles looked at his daughter sideways.
Shanshan's body disappeared in an instant and reappeared in an instant, "She is nowhere to be found. She is on a ship at sea."
"That's easy. Let's go and meet her."
After Charles threw the diary in his hand away, a wriggling flesh tentacle instantly tore open the ceiling and rolled him and Shanshan up.
