Chapter 24 The Spoils of War

Seeing the look of the white mouse praising me, Charles was very surprised. "Can you operate a deck gun?"

He originally thought it was the fort operated by James, the chief engineer, but it turned out to be the mouse Lily.

"My friends and I did it. How about it, aren't we very good?" Lily squeaked twice, and a large group of brown mice swarmed onto Charles' bed.

Seeing the rats on the bed, Charles felt very terrified. "Let them all go down, you go back alone, why do you take all these mice with you?"

"I promised them that if I invite them to visit my house and eat the sweet fish soup made by my mother, I can't go back on my promise." Lily said plausibly.

Charles comforted Lily a few words, and looked at the second mate Kenona next to him.

The red-haired young man seemed to know what Charles was asking, and said, "Don't worry, Captain, I have compared them all, and there is no one more or less."

"That's good, that's good..."

When the danger was lifted, a strong drowsiness enveloped him. The wound on his body and the loss of strength after running wildly caused Charles' body to issue a warning.

"Don't let your guard down, get back on a safe route as soon as possible. Get out, I'm a little tired."

Before anyone else walked out of the room, Charles closed his eyelids, and immediately knew nothing.

When he woke up, he didn't know how much time had passed.

"Time to buy a pocket watch."

The recovered Charles didn't get out of bed, and there was a long-lost smile on his face leaning on the pillow.

He had been worrying about one thing before, whether he was no longer on the earth, whether he would not be able to go back even if he ran to the surface.

But the words of Gate of Flesh and Flesh 1068 confirmed one thing. There is a sun in the outside world, and if there is a sun, it must be the earth. There is a high probability that my home is still there.

Charles, who had once again determined his goal, was about to get out of bed when he saw the relics taken out of the third laboratory piled up on the cabinet.

Seeing these things, Charles moved slightly in his heart.

Although everything in that place was done by himself, Char at this time felt strangely unfamiliar with himself back then.

At that time, thinking of so many relics in his mind was like a cat scratching his heart. Subconsciously, he stole without noticing how dangerous such a move was.

But looking at those relics, Charles rejoiced that he was lucky enough to snatch so many relics with only one injury. This deal was undoubtedly worth it.

Charles began to carefully observe the few things he had snatched back.

A rusty knife covered in rust.

A quill pen as thick as a forearm.

A pyramid shaped amethyst.

Coupled with the ring made of intertwined silver-white tentacles on his hand, there are four kinds of relics in total.

The things looked extraordinary, but Charles didn't dare to try it lightly, because some of the previous record books were lost when they fought against the leeches, and some were soaked in seawater when they jumped into the sea.

There are only information books left for two relics, one of which is the ring on his finger.

"Item Number: 168"

"Project Title: Tentacle Ring"

"Description: 168 is a ring made of 925 silver. The appearance is formed by bending three octopus-like tentacles. It was discovered by Dr. Tina in the [DATA EXPUNGED] jewelry store in New Territories City during her vacation."

"Appendix 1: Since Dr. Tina detected its anomaly and submitted it as soon as possible, the Foundation decided to contain 168 directly. The description of the item's anomaly will be placed in Appendix 2 in the form of an interview record."

"Appendix 2:

"Dr. Tina, can you tell me how you discovered 168?"

"My husband took me to pick out a wedding ring, and I put it on the first time I saw it, and it wasn't right when I got back to my apartment. I started to have some kind of special ability."

"Which special ability?"

"Um... my hand can become three tentacles that others cannot see. It feels very strange, as if the tentacles themselves grew on my hand, it's very natural."

"I know what you're going to ask next. The tentacle's grip is very strong, about the strength of two adult males, and it's also very elastic. It can reach 5 meters when fully extended. If there are negative exceptions, this ring will tempt humans subconsciously. You put it on and it gets tighter and you have to take it off every now and then to loosen it up."

"It's that simple?"

"Yeah, it's as simple as that. It's a very simple little thing. It would be great if other projects were as safe as this one. Sophie, the 1068 I'm in charge of is not bad, as long as there is enough food, it won't cause trouble, but 641 is really a headache."

"Oh, Tina, I've heard about that thing, it's really hard to deal with, if its containment fails, the humans on the entire island will probably be assimilated by it, but when it comes to harm, it's not as good as the one I'm responsible for 134—”

"Ahem! Two ladies, it's working time now, let's chat after get off work, please pay attention to the occasion."

"Sorry, sorry."

At 22:41, the interview ended.

"Turn into tentacles?" Charles raised his hand after thinking for a while, and a miraculous thing happened. He could feel his fingers grow longer and thicker rapidly, but to the naked eye, the hand was still the same, nothing changed .

Suddenly, the drawer on the table in the distance opened, and a bottle of wine floated out of it and was suspended in mid-air. The scene looked very strange.

Charles began to experiment with the new relic in the room. All kinds of small objects are flying up and down in the air.

After getting acquainted with this relic, Charles kept it for his own use. In terms of frontal attack, not to mention the clown mask, even the black knife is not as good as it, but as long as this kind of thing is used well, it can be used by surprise.

What moved Charles even more was that this little thing had the least side effects among the relics he had ever seen.

Touching the ring with his hand, Charles looked at another piece of paper, which was the record of the purple pyramid.

"Item Number: 434"

"Project Title: Purple Pyramid"

"Description: 434 is a crystal pyramid with a length of 10 cm, a height of 10 cm and a width of 10 cm. Due to the disturbance it caused, it was reported by the Yeongdo Police Station and transferred to the Foundation."

Experiment 1: "Let subject No. 13 hold 434, and order him to silently say twice in his heart "I am very strong." "

"Experimental results: The body of the test subject has mutated, and the body ratio has become larger, reaching a height of 2.5 meters, but the narrative ability has been significantly weakened, and the intelligence has been reduced to 80 after testing."

Experiment 2: "Let subject No. 13 hold 434, and order to silently say "I am strong" three times in my heart. "

"Experimental results: The height of the subject increased by three meters, and the intelligence was reduced to 60."

Experiment 3: "Let subject No. 13 hold 434, and order him to silently recite four times in his heart "I am strong." "

"Experimental results: The height increased to 4 meters, and the intelligence decreased to 40. Because the test subject's intelligence was too low to understand the instructions, the experiment was forced to terminate, and the test subject returned to normal after 30 minutes after leaving 434."
