Chapter 872: Island
Hearing Aliya's inquiry, Smith's expression was very normal.
"The people on the crown of the world? There's no one there, it's all ruins. When the crown of the world collapsed, all the nobles on it died."
Di Pu seemed a little anxious, "Why not? There should be a building above it, where Winky usually lives!! The ground can even be said to be her lair!"
At this time, Governor Smith, the crown of the world, seemed very helpless. He repeatedly stated that there was really no one on the top, and if there were really lights on the top, it would be impossible for them who lived below to see it.
Enthusiasm is true enthusiasm, but when Di Pu asked to check it out for himself, the other party immediately refused, and said that because the crown of the world is the rainy season, no one else is allowed to go to the island for the time being.
When they returned to the Narwhal, the couple looked at each other wordlessly. Dipper's plan to find out where Charles is from Winky goes awry at the very first step.
If Winky cannot be found, the plan to find the captain is out of the question.
After a long time, Di Pu asked slowly, "Do you believe what he said?"
Aliya pinched her earrings lightly, and shook her head, "Although all his reactions are normal, I feel a little weird, and I always feel that what he said was acted out."
Di Pu stood up with firm eyes, "I knew that other people were not worthy of trust. Since they refused to tell the truth, I will find it myself."
"What are you doing? This is someone else's island," Aliya said, looking at her husband with wide eyes.
"What can I do, of course, is to search for information. If others don't give it to me, why can't I go find it?"
At three o'clock in the morning that day, just when human beings were most sleepy, a cloud of blue mist drifted out from the circular window of the Narwhal and drifted towards the top of the Crown of the World. Hundreds of mice.
The rats quickly scattered around the pier along the dark corners of the street.
The task of the mouse is to observe the surrounding islanders, while Dipper goes directly to the top of the crown of the world.
During this period, he was very careful, for fear that the people on the island would find him, but to his surprise, no one stopped him until he stepped on the top of the huge mushroom.
What appeared in front of Dipper was a mess of ruins. Apart from some huge whale bones, there was only a single building in the distance.
Suddenly a voice appeared behind him, "No mistake, this is the place that Shining brought here."
Dipper, who was holding the black thorn in his hand, quickly turned his head and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the person coming, "Lily, you scared me, what are you doing here?"
The shimmering Lily floated to him and stood still, "I want to know how Shining is doing now."
"Okay, hurry up, you're so bright, it will be troublesome if people below see it." Dipper finished speaking and flew towards the distant building, followed by Lily.
When they flew in from the window, the expressions on the faces of the two slowly dimmed. This so-called shining residence was already covered with a layer of dust, and it seemed that no one lived here for a while.
"It looks like Winky has been gone for a long time, where has she gone?" Lily bit her lower lip, thinking suspiciously.
For this, Di Pu seemed very unwilling. He carefully searched the building inside and out, but still found nothing.
"What should I do? She's not here."
Dipper with an ugly face said, "Let's go back first and see if your mouse finds anything."
Dipper knew that this was just comforting himself. Since the people at the top of the world didn't lie to themselves, it might be impossible for the rats to look for clues from them.
The dejected two walked out of the building and floated under the crown of the world.
However, in the middle of the float, Di Pu suddenly reached out and grabbed Lily, "Look at that! What is that!"
Lily looked towards the darkness on the right side with his fingers, but found nothing. After careful observation, she finally saw a vague outline in the darkness, "Is that...an island?"
"That's right! There is an island next to the crown of the world!! Because the island is completely unlit, so I completely ignored it before! There was no such thing as the crown of the world before! I knew these people There must be something tricky!!"
If the governor of the crown of the world was lying from the beginning, then the news that he didn't know where Shining went was also false!
In this way, it makes sense why the other party should strictly guard against their going to the island. They are so vigilant in order to prevent this new island from being discovered.
This island may have something to do with Shining's departure.
"Di Pu, there was a light there, and it suddenly disappeared. There must be people living on that island."
"Well, let's go! This matter is not over yet!"
After they went down, the urgent Lily sent more mice in an attempt to dig out the hidden secrets of the nearby island.
Dipper didn't act rashly, but stayed on the pier of the crown of the world for a whole week, such a long time was enough for the rats to gather information.
"Squeak~squeak~" Lily listened to the rats around her constantly reporting to her. Her brows sometimes relaxed and sometimes frowned. The other crew members could only watch silently. They couldn't help with this kind of thing. .
When the sound of rats stopped, everyone looked over nervously, "They said, everyone on the island has a set of pure white clothes in their homes, and behind the clothes are three triangles stacked on top of each other, which looks like religious symbol."
"Every Wednesday, the people on the island will collectively go to the new island there. The road to that island is very well guarded, and they cannot get in."
"And they also said something like rituals, because it was too difficult to understand, and the mice didn't know what they were talking about."
Di Pu clapped his hands and stood up, "No! I have to go to that island to see what's inside!"
"If you want to go in, disguising is the most convenient. We just need to find someone who wants to enter that island next Wednesday, steal his clothes, and pretend to be him." Aliya began to think of a way for Di Pu.
"That's it. Lily asked the mouse to confirm the good guy. I'll pretend to go in and have a look next Wednesday!"
Di Pu's plan was too simple, but no one objected.
During the waiting period, the governor of the crown of the world asked frequently when they would leave. It was obvious that the Narwhal stayed too long, which made him suspicious.
And there are more and more sneaky people around, these are all monitoring them.
In order to dispel their vigilance, the Narwhal left the port ahead of time, and on Wednesday night, Di Pu walked back to the crown of the world step by step from the bottom of the sea.
At night, when he reappeared on the street, his body covered with fish scales was already covered with a white robe. He hung his head and followed some people behind slowly towards the island.
When Di Pu really walked into the island, the surrounding environment began to change, and some red rough and strange pictures covered the surrounding trees and ground.
These are pictures that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, and no one knows what they want to express.
The islanders at the crown of the world obviously like these paintings very much, they hang these things everywhere, walking on the path full of these things, Dipper always feels that he is walking in the intestines of something.
Gradually the road began to turn, and when they stopped, a large well guarded manhole cover appeared in front of Di Pu.
When Dipper followed the others into the spiral staircase under the manhole cover, the familiar red rock wall appeared in front of him, he had been to this place before!
This is the floating island where those green centipedes who can transform their bodies lived in the center of the earth! !
