Mysteries of the Earthsea

Chapter 609 Reason

Charles sighed slightly. He should have been able to contact the Foundation, but judging from the current situation, it was completely hopeless.

"Captain, shall we still fly upwards?" Orderic asked cautiously.

Charles shook his head slightly, and he picked up the diary on the ground, "We will leave here when the mice return, and make plans when the big troops arrive."

Hearing what Charles said, the crew all breathed a sigh of relief. After exploring for so long, they have really reached their limit. After all, no one is made of iron.

With the return of the last mouse, it proved the conjecture of Charles and others. There are no monsters on this island, and the only one that they came into contact with before was the one that the Foundation itself carried on board.

"Let's go, retreat temporarily." Charles bent down and picked up the diary on the ground.

However, when he turned to the latest page, his pupils shrank to a very small size, and there was another entry in his diary, which was still written in Chinese.

Lily, who was standing on her shoulders, looked curiously at him who suddenly didn't move. "Mr. Charles, what's the matter? Aren't we going down?"

Charles shook his head slightly, and what he said made the crew who were about to retreat stop what they were doing. "I'm afraid we can't go yet."

I died, very suddenly. Just as I was preparing to go down with the other crew members, an arc like moonlight fell from the sky, cutting us into minced meat.

Is this my end? I always feel unwilling, why did I die here, Anna, sorry. "

It turned out to be a diary written by Charles after his death.

The crew surrounded the diary again, and after listening to the captain's explanation, they knew what was on it.

Now they are caught in a dilemma. Charles doesn't know whether he should leave, and if he does, will he really die.

"Maybe it's fake? Is someone trying to scare us and want to keep us on this island." Di Pu said.

"It's very unlikely...it doesn't explain why...the man...why used...the captain's words...and his tone of voice." Bandage retorted.

"I also think what the first mate said is right. You saw it just now. No one touched this diary at all. Could it be that this diary came out by itself?"

The crew talked among themselves about the oddity, but at last they turned their attention to the captain again.

Whether or not to go, how to go now, is ultimately up to the captain to decide, all his life is on Charles, if he chooses a wrong step, he will be doomed.

"Crack!" Charles put the diary away, "We'll wait a day to see the situation. I'm curious what will happen if the things predicted above don't come true."

The crew waited patiently. They looked around with vigilance, waiting for the time to pass.

But waiting time is the slowest time, so the crew simply took out the cans and started eating.

They ate canned meat and pickled fruit with great appetite.

But Charles had no appetite. He took out the diary from time to time to check if there was a new diary.

Just when Charles took out the diary for the sixth time, Orderick next to him suddenly stood up and scratched his back vigorously with his hands.

"What's wrong?" Charles asked warily.

"It's nothing, it just feels a little itchy." Orderic stretched out his hand to scratch it, and sat down again.

Charles didn't dare to be careless, walked directly to his side, opened his collar and looked inside.

But apart from Orderic's fair skin, nothing else emerged from it.

"Captain, I'm really fine, it's just a little itchy, maybe it's because I haven't bathed for a long time." The vampire replied.

Charles loosened his collar, came back to the rock and sat down, "Don't be careless, God knows what is abnormal in this place, and you must be vigilant for any abnormality."

Hearing what Charles said, Linda thought for a while, and then said, "Captain, I just noticed something was wrong, and I have been hesitating whether to tell you."

"What?"

"The pickled apple just tasted even better, and the fish in the fish tank is also delicious. I don't know if this is considered abnormal."

Hearing Linda's words, other people also expressed the same feelings.

After thinking for a while, Charles reached out and took out a can of tuna, and pulled the tab directly with his hand. He had eaten this kind of can before, and the fishy smell was indeed much less.

"This shouldn't be an abnormality, right? It may be that the canning factory has replaced its equipment, and the food it makes tastes better." said the half-squatting Dipper.

Charles pinched a piece of tuna with his fingers and placed it in front of him, looking at it carefully.

The body of the tuna is spindle-shaped, the tail is long and thin, the back is metallic blue, and the abdomen is bright white. This is an ordinary tuna.

Just when Charles wondered if he was overreacting, his eyeballs moved when he saw the gutted tuna carcass in his hand!

Charles stood up abruptly, looking around vigilantly, "Is it a hallucination, or is it affected? Or am I crazy again?"

"Mr. Charles, what's the matter with you?" Lily asked worriedly.

Charles shook his head, his eyes kept looking at the crew members, and finally his eyes stopped on Orderick who was scratching his body from time to time.

He rushed over quickly, and the prosthetic limb instantly turned into a chain saw and slashed at him.

"captain!!"

"Odric! Run!!"

In the next second, everyone was stunned. The fast-rotating chain saw slashed at Orderic's body, but his clothes were not torn at all.

"Is this dress of yours a relic?" Charles asked.

"No, it's just ordinary clothes, what's wrong?"

"Don't talk nonsense, take it off quickly! Everyone!!" Charles' tone suddenly became very serious.

After he finished speaking, he immediately began to take off his clothes.

Orderic seemed startled by Charles, and he began to unbutton his cloak and his jacket.

Just when he finished unbuttoning and was about to take it off, he froze for a moment. "My clothes... seem to be stuck."

The shirtless Charles rushed over without saying a word, grabbed the collar with both hands and pulled it back forcefully, with a stabbing sound, blood splashed, and Orderic let out a scream.

The flesh on his back was ripped off together with his clothes.

Charles turned his head to look at everyone, and said anxiously: "Don't be stunned! Take off all your clothes! Hurry up!!"

"Captain, what happened here??" Dipper asked while quickly taking off his clothes.

"What's wrong? Can't you see it? Everything on us has become a relic! Including my diary! And Orderic's clothes!!"

Before, Charles was still wondering why people from the Foundation wore such heavy spacesuits and what they were defending against, but now he understood.
