Chapter 763: Temporary Sailor

After Duncan opened his eyes, everyone came over instantly.

The translucent green ghost fire was still burning quietly between the folds of the shroud. Duncan blinked and extinguished the flame before it completely burned the shroud. Then he slowed down again. , while sorting out the information he just saw, his eyes fell on the “sailor”.

The mummy stood a little further away. While keeping a distance, he couldn’t help but poke his head in this direction, looking hesitant.

“Uncle Duncan, what did you see?” Nina came over and tugged on Duncan’s arm, raising her head and asking with a look of worry and curiosity.

“…Captain Kalani’s memory,” Duncan exhaled softly, without selling out, “it records the Sea Song’s experience after it lost its way and the process of returning…” “Sailor” suddenly pricked up his ears,

unconsciously Moved this way in small steps.

Duncan told everything he saw in the vision without any concealment.

After he finished speaking, all eyes at the scene instantly fell on the “sailor” who had already moved to the coffee table in small steps.

Anomaly 077 was listening with his ears stretched out a second ago. Suddenly he heard Captain Kalani entrusting him with the route to the outer barrier. His expression suddenly froze, and he immediately noticed that everyone was looking at him. He took half a step back, stared and waved his hands: “Hey, don’t look at me, I don’t know about the route, what route… I’m confused about this too!” “You don’t know?”

Helena heard. Yan frowned and looked at the other party very suspiciously, “Captain Kalani said that he would leave that route to you…you have no impression at all?” ”

I didn’t!” The mummy opened his hands, looking more than before. Ai was still confused when he was thrown out of the portal, “I only remember the log, vaguely… As you know, I can’t even remember the specific process of my return! ”

The tall and silent Frame stared at him for a long time, and then suddenly asked: “Then what do you remember? Isn’t there anything else that impressed you more deeply after returning to the Infinite Sea?” ”

Sailor” After thinking hard, he clapped his hands and said, “Yes, I remember that as soon as I opened my eyes, I was lying in a box. Two people in blue and black robes were mumbling to each other while they sprinkled ashes and spices on me. There was also a follower. A Sen’jin man as stone as you was about to nail the coffin lid to my head, but when I refused to let him nail it, he gave me a hammer – the next time I opened my eyes, it would be 1864.” Frame: ”

…”

The living room was quiet for two seconds. The atmosphere seemed a little awkward, but Alice didn’t seem to notice it at all. Seeing that no one else spoke, she asked curiously: “Ah, what happens next?” ”

Then? As soon as I sat up, I heard someone yelling next to me. I couldn’t hear the specific shouting, but then I saw a girl rushing up and giving me another hammer. The next time I opened my eyes, it was 1901. Captain Lawrence and a group of angry people… The sailor wanted to push me down on the bridge, but I didn’t resist… You all know what happened next…” Everyone in the living room looked at each other

, Helena coughed awkwardly, and Duncan spread his hands helplessly. Everyone began to try to divert attention away from this topic…

Alice, who was short-sighted, was still muttering to the “Sailor”: “Hey, how did you know that it was from 1864? Wasn’t it the moment you opened your eyes? Are you confused?”

“I asked Captain Lawrence later, and he said that in history, that was the only time I came close to completely losing control… In addition, I actually woke up several times, but I have no memory of those…”

” Let me tell you, I used to sleep in a box, and there were people mumbling, scattering things, and hammering nails next to the box…” “Really

? How was your sleep quality?”

“It’s okay, their chanting is not very noisy – but now I don’t sleep in the box half the time, the captain gave me a bed…”

“Sailor” sighed from the bottom of his heart: “I really envy you for being able to do this Asleep…”

The two of them suddenly started discussing a very nefarious topic without anyone noticing. Duncan couldn’t help it after hearing half of it, and interrupted their exchange with two dry coughs: “Ahem, now is not the time to talk about this. .”

“Sailor” closed his mouth instantly.

“First of all, I believe what you said. You should have indeed forgotten about the ‘route’.” Duncan adjusted his expression and said to Anomaly 077 seriously, “But the things recorded in Captain Kalani’s log must also be true. Yes, the ‘route’ is on you.”

“Sailor” opened his mouth and pointed at himself: “Then what if I don’t remember…”

“I haven’t finished speaking yet,” Duncan waved his hand, “Do you remember? It may not be important – because this important route may not simply be “recorded” in your mind from the beginning. Captain Kalani mentioned in her diary that she “entrusted the route to you”. This sentence The words made me very concerned… She seemed to regard the route as some kind of “item”, or… some other “entity”. Perhaps when she left that diary, she realized that such a day would come.”

Duncan stopped when he said this. He thought for a moment, and then his eyes fell on the “shroud” again.

“Just as her diary crossed the border in this form, she may have also used other methods to leave information about the ‘route’ to you, even if the border distorted that information and interfered with your memory and even self-perception. , this “route” will not disappear – it is still with you, in some “form” that we don’t understand yet.” ”

Sailor” listened in a daze, and seemed to be gradually convinced, but he Suddenly there was some doubt: “…Can Captain Kalani really do such a thing? I thought it was just some kind of ‘accident’ that her diary turned out like this… After all, she is only a mortal…” ”

But She once faced our Lord.” Helena suddenly broke the silence. “After any mortal has faced the gods…it will be difficult to be regarded as a pure ‘mortal’ anymore.”

“Sailor” stopped talking.

“We need some time to consider how to arrange the next actions, including verifying whether there is really information about the ‘route’ on you,” Duncan said with a very serious expression as he looked into Anomaly 077’s eyes, “But no matter what, you You will have to stay with us for the next period of time – if necessary, you will sail with the Lost Home, so be prepared for this.”

Upon hearing this, “Sailor” trembled visibly all over his body: ” Huh? I thought I could just come here and send some information…”

Duncan looked at him silently.

“Sailor”‘s expression instantly changed: “Of course, you know that I have been a loyal member of the Lost Fleet from the beginning. It is my lifelong wish to board that legendary expedition ship…” Duncan relaxed and smiled.

He nodded, and everyone else also smiled at the “sailor”. Shirley even stepped forward and patted the sailor’s skinny arm: “Don’t be nervous, the captain is actually very good! And it’s not boring to be on the ship every day. There are all kinds of excitement…”

She was embarrassed to say that she was also one of the biggest “liveliest” on the ship…

Everyone was happy, except Helena, who was watching this scene with a complicated expression.

She still couldn’t help but think about not long ago, when the Sea Song was preparing to set off, the warriors who came to the Ark to receive her blessings, and those positive, determined and faith-filled faces.

It was still hard for her to believe that those warriors had disappeared in such a long time – even the only one who returned to this world had become like this.

“It’s time for us to leave,” the female pope sighed softly. “We’ve been bothering here for too long – there are still many things waiting for me and Frame at the church.”

Duncan raised his head and glanced at the wall opposite the living room. of the mechanical clock, discovering that the day has ended.

“Then I won’t send it off,” he said casually, “I also have some things to arrange.”

Helena nodded. After saying goodbye to the others, she and Frame turned and walked towards the door – but before leaving But she suddenly stopped and looked back at Duncan.

After a brief hesitation, she said: “The Deep Sea Church’s border assembly point is located on the southeastern border, near the sea area where you met the Tide last time.” “Got it

,” Duncan nodded lightly, “Before setting off, I I will contact you.”

The two popes left, and a moment later, there were two cars outside the window driving into the distant night.

The living room became quiet for a while, and Shirley was the first to stretch out: “Yawn… I’m sleepy, I’m going back to sleep first!”

Vanna and Morris also left the living room.

“There are a lot of empty rooms here.” Lucretia, as the hostess here, was now arranging accommodation for the “new members”. She glanced at the mummy in front of her, “Do you have any requirements for the room? Floor or It’s about ventilation.”

“No, no, no,” the mummy immediately waved his hands, looking quite nervous, “Just find me a place to stay, I won’t sleep anyway…” His eyes suddenly

fell not far away. on the stair railing.

“Hey, this railing is good. Give me a rope and I’ll be fine hanging here. The front is still facing the sun, so I can get some sun in the morning… Oh, although there hasn’t been any sunshine lately…” “Are you

sure?” Duncan Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and said, “Let me remind you, Nina gets up the earliest every day, and that girl is prone to getting confused when she gets up. If she looks up from the stairs in a daze and sees you hanging on the railing, it’s not a simple scare. One jump – you can really see the sun.”

“You must stay in the room!” Lucretia suddenly became anxious when she heard this, and immediately said to the mummy, “Don’t really scare Nina. ——My house will be gone by then.”

Nina whispered behind Duncan: “Actually, I have good control now…”

“Sailor” blinked, listening to what Captain Duncan and Miss Witch said, and then looked at Seeing the “shard of the sun” muttering next to him with an aggrieved look on his face, he suddenly felt that… the atmosphere here seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

not bad.

He twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a somewhat scary smile.

“Okay, I’ll listen to your arrangements.”

(Happy New Year everyone!)
