Chapter 194 Interaction
Blood flowed down the white palm and dripped onto Orderic's ugly face.
With a sound of "stab", Charles raised the knife and chopped off his hands. The vampire turned into a bat and fled away with a scream.
The severe pain in his abdomen made him bend down involuntarily, but he couldn't stop at this moment, because Dipper from above had already rushed down.
As soon as Charles raised his prosthetic limb, the sharp blade slashed directly on it.
Looking at the crazy Dipper in front of him, Charles turned over and hid in the sea without any reluctance to fight.
The icy cold water washed over Charles' whole body, and the blood from his abdomen spread in the sea water.
"Crack!!" Gunshots rang out on the deck. It was the shots fired by the crew of the Narwhal, and the bullets kept hitting the blood-stained water.
"Huh~" The four-meter-long fleshy wings stretched out from the water, and flapped quickly against the water surface a few times. Soon, Charles in the form of a bat flew up and flew straight to the V12 island in the distance.
Blinding sunlight appeared behind him, and Charles felt a branding iron pressed directly against his back.
Charles had thought of this a long time ago, and once his wings were retracted, he rushed back to the bottom of the water, allowing the cold sea water to counteract the power of the sun.
When the sun faded, Charles quickly found another place to get out of the water again. After going back and forth several times, Charles' body was covered with scars, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.
As much as they knew Charles, Charles also knew him.
As a qualified captain, Charles knew the amount of various supplies on the Narwhal. The mirror box did not bring much at all for this voyage, and they had almost used it in their hands.
After the fifth time, Charles knew that the mirror box was gone, and rushed towards the V12, which was a kilometer away.
"Boom boom boom!!" The deck guns of the Narwhal began to exert their power.
Charles' body turned and moved in the air, nimbly avoiding the shells in the air.
The V12 is getting closer and closer, and the artillery fire is getting more and more intensive. Even if Charles deliberately flies close to the sea, it will not help.
Finally, just as he came over the island of V12, a shell exploded directly on Charles' left flank.
After a whirlwind, Charles fell obliquely to the ground.
Regardless of the risk of being grounded, the Narwhal rushed directly to the shore. Di Pu rushed down first. In the darkness, he was the first to find the blood on the ground.
"Come on! That guy is badly hurt! He can't run very far!"
The crew members mobilized and rushed towards the distant mountain along the blood trail.
In the dark stairwell, Charles climbed the stairs panting while holding on to the railing with one hand and his waist injury in the other.
The continuous running for his life had exhausted most of his physical strength. Coupled with the injuries on his body, he had never felt that climbing stairs was such a hard work.
"Mr. Charles, are you okay? I'm sorry, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have been injured so badly..." Lily said with her ears drooping as she pulled her head out of her pocket.
A little sea water sprinkled from the wet hair as Charles shook his head. "Phew~ no...it's okay, huh~ we're almost there."
One floor, two floors, three floors, Charles is getting closer and closer to the stairs on the eleventh floor, and he can already see the light in the crack of the door, which seems to be the light of a flashlight.
But at this moment, there was a sudden pain in the calf.
A figure rushed out from below, pushing him against the wall of the stairs.
Just as Charles' prosthetic limb jumped out of the chainsaw and was about to fight back, a big hand reached out and held the chainsaw firmly. It was James' hand.
A group of Narwhal crew rushed up from the bottom of the stairs, staring at Charles.
"Hey! If you don't want this guy's head to fall, let go of our captain!" An arrogant voice suddenly sounded from above.
Everyone below looked up at the same time. At the door on the eleventh floor, there was also a group of crew members standing, and a wounded Charles was also pressed in their hands.
The person who spoke just now was Dipper, and the dagger in his hand rested on the neck of another Charles.
Two groups of people with almost identical appearance looked at each other like a mirror standing in the middle.
After a short silence, Charles raised his chin to himself above, and said in Chinese: "Exchanging hostages, is it okay? There is no conflict of interest between us."
Before, they just didn't trust each other, and they had to fight each other as a last resort. Now that both Charles were caught, things became easier.
Charles, who had deliberately drawn a vertical scar on his face, said in a low voice, "Okay."
"You let him go."
"You let him go."
As the two Charles spoke at the same time, the two groups let go at the same time.
Footsteps sounded, and the two slowly approached one by one up the stairs and the other down the stairs.
Watching the two meet, the hearts of the two groups rose to their throats instantly, and their fingers rested on the trigger again.
Fortunately, the process was safe and sound, and the two Charles, who were wary in their hearts, slowly exchanged positions.
"Captain! You're finally back!" Dipper hugged Charles excitedly.
Looking at the crew members who belonged to him, Charles' heart was completely relieved. "How did you discover the anomaly of 1344-1??"
"When we got back to the boat and found that he didn't have Lily in his pocket, we knew something was wrong. You cared so much about Lily and she disappeared, so you couldn't be indifferent." The smiling Dipper responded.
Charles patted Dipper on the back, motioning him to let go.
Charles turned his head to look down the stairs, excitedly talking to his crew. "Your crew is on the alert."
"Hmph, yours is not bad." After Charles finished speaking, he followed the crew and walked down the stairs.
Seeing the light of the flashlight gradually go down, Charles was about to turn around and leave.
He took Lily out with his hands, stroked her little furry head and comforted her: "Lily, we're back, she's fine."
Lily smiled sweetly when she heard what Charles said. "Well, Mr. Charles is amazing."
But in the next second, Lily showed a hint of doubt in her hairy hair, "Mr. Charles, are they really from another world?"
"Don't worry about that, even if they are from another world, they are not as good as us, because we have Lily, but they don't."
"Yeah!" Lily hugged Charles' hand and rubbed it lightly.
Looking at Lily's cute mouse face, the corners of Charles' mouth slightly raised. He put Lily on his shoulders and was about to leave.
But when he walked to the middle of the empty room, his relaxed pace suddenly stopped.
Charles quickly turned around and rushed towards the stairs. "Everyone follow! I suddenly figured out something!"
