Chapter 443 Sacrifice (Add More)

"What's the matter?" Charles looked at the so-called border guard in front of him. Norden Wright.

The sailor in front of him looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, and his military uniform was lifted up by his muscles.

"Your Majesty has three years of sea combat experience! I have a strong physique, and now apply to join the Governor's exploration ship!"

Norden's voice was so loud that all the boatmen in the dock looked over.

Charles was indeed a little surprised when this happened suddenly.

Before he could speak, the dark-faced James next to him spoke first. "Soldier! What is your mission today? You are dereliction of duty by leaving your post without authorization."

"Report to the chief! Today is my day off, and I did not dereliction of duty! And even if I dereliction of duty, I am not your policeman, you have no right to interfere! Governor! Let me join the exploration ship!"

When he said the last sentence, a scorching light ignited in Norden Wright's eyes.

Charles felt a little funny when he saw James deflated. He looked at Norden and asked, "Why did you get on my boat? There are rumors on the island recently that my boat is cursed by the sea, and this boat will never sink. It will only bring the lives of sailors into the sea continuously, aren't you afraid?"

"Not afraid!" Norden Wright replied firmly.

Charles smiled. He turned to look at James, "Dude, do me a favor and check him out."

"Captain, did you really let him aboard?"

"Let's check first, but the last adventure did kill two sailors." Charles waved at the Narwhal, turned and left the dock.

Hearing what Charles said, Norden clenched his fists excitedly.

Charles, who walked out of the dock, returned to the Governor's Mansion, and he sat in the office looking at the chart in front of him.

The island where the key is stored in memory is the farthest of the five islands. He used a ruler and a pen to quickly plan the next voyage.

As the captain, he must calculate the route that saves the most time and material, as well as the material situation at each time node.

"If it is urgent, the ship can be repaired within 2 months. I must first find all the missing crew members. The second officer is seriously ill, and the second officer dies. The third officer, Orderick, can take his place. To recruit another three-wheel tube, there are a bit too many turbos..."

Charlton was thinking about these things. At this moment, he suddenly felt his legs go limp. When he lowered his head, he found that just as he was thinking, a pure black cat jumped onto his lap and squatted down.

It was Hei Hei, one of the two kittens that Lily raised before, and since Lily didn't raise it, it has completely settled down in the Governor's Mansion.

He ate well and slept well, and before he knew it, the kitten turned into a big black cat.

Charles' hand ran across the soft cat fur, and he suddenly felt that there was not much difference between cat fur and mouse fur in terms of texture.

All of a sudden, all kinds of things in Charles' mind suddenly disappeared, and he kind of missed the little mouse that was always chirping.

Looking at the chart in front of him, he stood up and walked through the gate with the black cat in his arms.

When he came to Lily's grave, besides the black cat, there was a bouquet of white flowers in his arms.

In front of Lily's tombstone, there are still some residual candles and a few bunches of dried flowers.

Obviously, besides Charles, there were other people who came to pay homage to Lily.

Charles put down the flowers in his hand. He looked at the stone tablet carved by himself in front of him, his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Heihei jumped out of Charles' arms, and it wandered back and forth above Lily's cemetery, she seemed to smell something.

After smelling it for a while, Hei Hei showed his claws and began to dig the soil.

Charles didn't stop him. The soil from the coffin to the coffin was at least three meters thick, and he couldn't dig it out.

Charles stepped forward and gently wiped off the layer of floating ash on the tombstone with his hands.

"Some people say that black cats are psychic, and that corpses touched by black cats will cheat. Lily, can you wake up and show me?"

Charles waited quietly, but to his disappointment, there was no sound of beating the coffin under the soil.

Charles looked at the sunny doctor's grave nearby, and Lily's dying words flashed through his mind.

Charles thought about it for a while, took out the revolver, and kept pulling the trigger against the ceiling in the sky.

"Bang bang bang bang!!" The shed was quickly dug out by bullets, and the warm sunlight sprinkled on Lily's cemetery and Charles' body.

But now Charles didn't feel any warmth from the sun.

"Lily, are you okay over there? Did the God of Light really get your soul?" Charles' voice was filled with sadness.

"Sometimes I dream of you, but in the dream you seem to become quiet and just look at me quietly."

"A few more people died on the boat recently. Have you seen them? Is Tuba's soul with you?"

"Recently, Anna has had conflicts because of arguing with me about finding the surface. To be honest, I have been thinking about this issue recently."

"You said that if I didn't think about going home when I first came to the surface, and lived on the underground island with peace of mind, would the situation be better?"

"I've thought about it for a long time, but I don't think so. The dangerous experience has taken away a lot of things from me. In addition to my right eye and left arm, there are also the lives of you and other dead crew members."

"But it's because I went looking for the surface that I met Anna, I met you, I met Bandages, Dipper, James, and Winky."

Speaking of this, the corners of Charles' mouth rose slightly.

"My daughter is very cute. I told her your story. She wants to know you one day. I hope that day."

After talking with Lily, Charles felt his body warm up.

He stood up and turned around, stroking Lily's tombstone with his hand.

"Lily, I don't believe in any bullshit gods, but if you can hear me now, please bless me, and bless me on this voyage to find the key to the surface."

"Bless the surface of the earth without any gods walking between heaven and earth, without corpses scattered all over the mountains and plains, and without any things that should not exist on it."

"Bless the God of Light to keep his promise and bring you back to life."

"I know that this world is full of despair, and it knocks down my hopes ruthlessly every time, but ah, there is always hope in one's heart."

"I'm leaving, Lily, I feel a lot more comfortable talking to you, and I will come to see you in the future."

After Charles finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Just as he took a few steps, he suddenly remembered something. He turned around and walked to the doctor's tombstone, and took out a wine bottle from his arms.

"T~t~t~" The bottle of spirits was sprinkled in front of the doctor's tombstone.
