Chapter 761 “Reunion after a Long Farewell”

Time has eroded the words, and the dislocation within and outside the border has distorted the carrier of the words into another form – on the old and tattered shroud, now only “Kalani” can be vaguely recognized. , “Border”, “Leviathan” and several other messy words, and even to distinguish these few words, you need to give full play to your observation and association abilities.

Anomaly 077 stared blankly at the shroud in front of him – it was sent from the warehouse of the White Oak by the captain’s order. This shroud has been there since he lost his peace and became a member of the White Oak. Placed in a containment room on the ship.

“I haven’t looked at it carefully for a long time… No, I never seem to have looked at it carefully,” Anomaly 077 muttered softly, slowly rubbing what looked like dirt on the surface of the shroud with his withered fingers. , are actually traces of mottled writing. “I have never found the existence of these writings…” ”

It’s normal. If you don’t look for it specifically, usually even if you see these traces, you will just think that they are insignificant dirt.” “Dirty,” Lawrence said calmly next to him, “If Martha hadn’t been keenly observant and thought of this possibility in advance, who would have connected the marks on this rag with Captain Kalani’s diary? Not to mention that there are other things on it. There are only so few traces left… The valid information has been wiped out.”

“Yes, there are only so few traces left…” the sailor said frustratedly, “This can’t be called the captain’s log at all. These intermittent letters are not at all It’s of no use… It was originally supposed to be a thick book, and it shouldn’t be such a “rag”…” ”

This may have something to do with your process of returning to the Infinite Sea from beyond the border, that “Six Miles” “Borderline” seems to permanently change the nature of something,” Lawrence said. “It turns you into Anomaly 077, turns Captain Kalani’s log into a shroud around you – but no matter what, these They are all vital clues, and ‘he’ needs these clues.”

“Sailor” stood quietly next to the shroud, and suddenly became very quiet. He seemed to be engaged in a fierce psychological struggle. After hesitating for a long time Then he nodded slowly.

“Okay, send me there, ‘he’ has been waiting for a long time.”

Lawrence immediately exhaled softly, then took half a step to the side, and almost at the same time, an illusory green flame appeared where he had just stood. The place where

the flames soared into the sky, and in the blink of an eye it gained a solid texture like flowing water from an almost transparent illusory form. The captain’s power spanned a long distance, and was projected in the room with Lawrence as the beacon. Then, in the center of the flames Then it circled and shrank, squirmed and swelled again, and a giant skeletal bird with a terrifying appearance rushed out of the whirlpool of flames!

“Sailor” took half a step back when he saw this scene, staring blankly at the rotating flame door and the giant skeletal bird hovering near the ceiling, then turned to look at Lawrence: “…This thing really doesn’t exist. Question?”

“You only thought of hesitating at this time?” Lawrence suddenly stared, “Don’t say you don’t want to go now – if ‘he’ personally comes from the opposite side and drags you, that’s not the treatment!”

“Sailor” immediately shrank his neck and took two steps towards the flame door with a troubled expression, but stopped halfway and asked, “Does this thing hurt?”

Lawrence walked over silently and came to Behind “Sailor”.

“Sailor” suddenly felt excited, as if the goosebumps that had died more than two centuries ago were resurrected: “No, no, no, no, I’ll go in, I’ll go in myself…” As he said this, he stepped towards the road

. The swirling flames, then gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, stretched out his hand to touch the whirlpool of flames, and immediately retracted his hand: “Oh, damn, it seems a little hot… Captain, why don’t we think of something else…”

Lawrence flew up and Foot: “You’re the only one talking nonsense!”

“Sailor”‘s short exclamation disappeared in the roar of flames.

“Full of fuel, let’s go!” The giant skeletal bird hovering near the ceiling screamed, and then rushed into the flame door – but the next second it emerged from the door, grabbed it with its claws and put it on the The shroud on the side turned and got back into the door.

Lawrence sighed softly.

But just as he was about to walk away, the rotating and bulging flame door suddenly crackled open again, and Ai, who had just left, emerged from the door again.

The giant skeletal bird came close to Lawrence, flapped its wings under the latter’s stunned gaze, and made a hoarse and unpleasant voice: “Whole fries, whole fries, whole fries…” Lawrence was almost killed

by this “messenger” He stumbled out of fright, and finally took two steps back to stand still. Only then did he realize that he had forgotten the important “sacrifice” and “medium” needed to summon the messenger, and he suddenly broke into a cold sweat: “I… didn’t Get ready…”

The giant skeletal bird tilted its head and stared into Lawrence’s eyes with its empty eye sockets covered with flames. The latter’s whole body slowly became tense. In these short seconds, Lawrence’s mind was already racing. It seemed like a carousel of many classic cases related to summoning and sacrifice that were circulated among the captains of the Infinite Sea –

XX wizard was trying to summon the shadow of the spiritual world because he prepared the wrong sacrifice, and was powerfully counterattacked by the shadow. The XX cultist used insufficient sacrifices when trying to summon the devil and was beaten to death by the furious demon; the XX truth saint accidentally touched the spell to summon evil spirits while studying ancient relics. , as a result, because no sacrifice was prepared, he had to slap the out-of-control evil spirit to death on the wall…

Lawrence didn’t quite understand the temper of the strange messenger named “Ai” beside the captain, but he made a simple judgment, I thought it would be difficult for me to slap this bird to death on the wall.

So he swallowed nervously and began to regret his careless move – although in theory everyone was a follower of Captain Duncan, God knows whether this “messenger” who didn’t look like a human being would. There is the concept of “colleagues”…

Then he saw the giant skeletal bird in front of him suddenly retracted his head, turned around and flew towards the flame gate, cursing as he flew back: “No overtime pay for any bad work, no overtime pay for any bad work.” To…”

Then the terrifying messenger disappeared into the room together with the door.

Lawrence: “…?”

…

Duncan looked at Anomaly 077, which was almost thrown out of the portal by Ai, and then turned to look at the pigeon spirit who seemed to be still angry and was pacing around on the coffee table. He felt A little confused: “What’s wrong with this pigeon?”

Alice scratched her hair after hearing this: “I don’t know, it doesn’t seem happy anyway…” ”

…No matter, you can get it some food, it should be I’m happy again.”

Duncan waved his hand casually, and after giving a casual instruction, his attention returned to Anomaly 077, who was standing up unsteadily while holding his waist.

“Long time no see, ‘Sailor’.”

He was slowly getting up and seemed to be trying his best to avoid eye contact with other people in the living room. 077 heard the captain actively greeting him, and his body trembled visibly. It seemed that he could no longer escape. He finally stood up straight and looked around nervously.

“Um…Long time no see, Captain, long time no see, everyone…”

He turned around and greeted everyone in the living room, just like every time he was in front of Captain Duncan, but suddenly, He stopped.

Helena stood not far away.

The female pope in charge of the Deep Sea Church quietly stared at the mummy in front of her. Looking at the shriveled, skinny, and terrifying appearance of the other person, she frowned a little bit, as if she was trying to recall the time she had personally met not long ago. She had seen the appearance of the first mate of the Sea Song, but no matter what, she seemed unable to connect the loyal and resolute first mate with the hunched-over “Abnormal 077” with a terrifying face in front of her.

After observing for a long time, Helena broke the silence: “I don’t recognize you.”

“Yes, we haven’t seen each other for more than two hundred years – maybe even longer,” the mummy grinned and made a hoarse sound. Hearing the voice, he slowly took two steps towards Helena, as if he wanted to salute, but he raised his hand to make a gesture and put it down again, “…I can’t remember that gesture.” “You are

. First mate of the Sea Song?” Helena asked – even though the question seemed unnecessary.

“Yes, that’s what I remember,” “Sailor” said, raising his finger to point at his head, “but those messy impressions are buzzing here, and I can’t remember too many details. I I just remember that before setting sail, Captain Kalani and I received your personal blessing on the Ark. You applied ointment on our wrists… The sun had not completely set at that time.”

Helena hesitated for a few seconds . Zhong: “…Yes, that happened not long ago.”

“To me, it was a long time ago,” “Sailor” muttered, looking back in Duncan’s direction, “I have told you everything I know You, Captain Lawrence should have reported to you the parts I didn’t mention, right?”

Duncan nodded, came to the low table, reached out and picked up the dirty, torn-looking “rag” – Not paying any attention to its disgusting texture: “Is this the ‘shroud’ that Lawrence mentioned?”

Several eyes in the living room focused on Duncan’s hands at the same time, and Helena couldn’t help but take a step forward. “Sailor” nodded: “Yes, it is…it still has Captain Kalani’s handwriting on it. Although I don’t know why it looked like this, it should be the captain’s log of the Sea Song… …Before Captain Kalani disappeared, she left it to me. This is one of the few things that I remember very clearly.”

Duncan looked at the “writing” on the broken piece of cloth and slowly frowned: “… It’s completely unrecognizable.”

“Unfortunately, I’m afraid it will have become like this when I return to the Infinite Sea.” “Sailor” shook his head, “That border…it prevents us from transmitting the secrets outside the world. Take it home.”

Duncan listened silently and thought quietly. Everyone in the living room unconsciously became quiet, and only the ticking of the clock echoed in the silence.

After a long time, Duncan suddenly raised his head: “Do you mind if I do some ‘extreme’ tests on it?”
