Chapter 416 Conspiracy

There is no time for nonsense in this place, Charles told the crew about the weird things he encountered.

"There's something wrong with this place. Some things in the sea can be teleported in a small area."

"Captain, do you think it might be the sea otter? Maybe their beating is not shell-cracking, but a ritual." Feuerbach speculated.

Char frowned slightly, thinking about the details of his encounter with the sea otter before. He knew there was such a possibility, but at present it seemed that this was just a suspicion.

He turned his head to look at the sea next to him. Now there is nothing in this sea area except seaweed and lotus leaves. The sea otter and the huge toad from before were completely gone.

After thinking quickly for a moment, Charles decided to go into the water again. After finally finding a place, it was impossible to go back so easily.

Of course, one learns one's wisdom, and Charles immediately began to change the way of exploration based on his own experience.

"We won't disperse this time, everyone gathers to explore, six divers including me, Dipper and Feuerbach, everyone is not allowed to leave the line of sight of others."

"If you encounter any living things, including but not limited to the previous sea otters and toads, issue a warning as soon as possible."

"If you are teleported away, remember not to trust any living people who are close to you. Use code words to confirm whether the other party is your own. The code words are the names of the food at noon today."

Everyone expressed their understanding and began to wear heavy diving suits.

"Captain, now that we know the opponent's ability, it's much easier to defend, as long as we don't get touched by the opponent." Di Pu said to Charles.

"I hope so, I hope there is only one strange thing that sends people indiscriminately in this place, but this ocean is always full of things that people can't imagine." Charles put the huge steel helmet back on his head .

"Where did Tuba go?" Charles suddenly lost one member of the crew on the deck.

"I don't know. I saw it just now. I guess it's in the cabin. I'll look for it later." Linda the ship's doctor replied calmly.

Charles didn't care either, and walked towards the side of the ship with heavy steps.

However, just as he turned around, he felt someone behind him staring at him, that kind of malicious staring.

When he turned around, he found nothing.

"Charles, what's the matter with you, are you going into the water? Have you seen Lily? Why haven't I seen her recently?" Tuba, who came out of the cabin, asked with a smile.

Charles didn't say anything, and stepped on the side of the boat with his foot, "Touch~!" As a high water column was stirred up on the sea surface, Charles and the others returned to the icy water again.

The crew shrank very close this time, stepped on the slippery moss on the ground, and continued to search in this kelp forest.

At the beginning, everyone was terrified, afraid that the experience of the previous captain would happen to them.

But as time passed, they found that there was nothing abnormal, and gradually they focused on their essential work.

Everyone dug down and pulled away the moss and seaweed with their hands, looking for clues hidden in this sunken island.

The sea water is cold and the heavy diving suits, even with the buoyancy of the water, the crew members are exhausted very quickly.

Just as Charles pulled out a ball of seaweed to observe the traces on the ground, he suddenly saw the crew members forming a group, gesturing with their fingers and communicating in a hurry.

"Go to work! The faster we explore, the faster we can leave." Charles rushed over and roughly pulled them away.

But within a few minutes, Charles saw them gathered together again, and asked why they said that the diving suit was too heavy and tired.

In the end, Charles asked the two to change their diving suits to assist him, and the others stood on the deck to prepare for rotation.

Time passed by, and soon it was night in Earthsea. Charles followed the two exhausted crew members and returned to the deck.

Today's working hours are over, it's time for everyone to eat and rest, after all, only after a good rest can we have the energy to work.

Charles frowned and walked towards the captain's cabin. There was no danger at all in the water this time, and even those things in the sea didn't cause trouble, which is a good thing.

But in contrast, they didn't find any clues on this island, not even a single useful clue, not to mention keys, and they didn't even find traces of human activities.

Generally, as long as there are traces left on the foundation's island, but this one does not, it seems that the foundation has not landed on this island, which is not good news.

Charles took off his coat, put it on a shelf aside, opened his diary, and began to record what happened today.

"Through October 23, 2013:

We arrived at the first island among the five islands, a half-sunken island here, full of weirdness, I don't like it very much..."

"Shusha~" The sound of the pen tip scribing across the paper kept ringing, leaving lines of Chinese characters behind.

"Squeak...squeak~" Suddenly, an extremely weak mouse cry reached Charles' ears.

Normally Charles would have overlooked it, but he heard a peculiar emotion in the rattling, something unsettling.

"Da~" The pen was put on by Charles, and the invisibility ring was put on his finger directly.

The door of the Narwhal's captain's cabin suddenly opened and closed again.

At this time, directly below the captain's cabin, in a utility room full of mops and brooms.

All the brown mice gathered together, their eyes fixed on a mouse that was one size bigger and squeaked.

There is also a portrait of a mouse hanging on the wall. The mouse is white.

"Squeak~! Squeak!!" The big mouse slapped vigorously on Lily's portrait with its small paws, and there was a little straw man with only one arm standing on the ground next to it.

After screaming fiercely for a few minutes, the big mouse picked up the one-armed straw man on the ground and bit off its head fiercely.

In an instant, the mice standing on the bucket and on the broom screamed fiercely, their heads raised high, and their two front teeth kept beating rapidly.

"Squeak!!" As a mouse came out from the gap in the utility room, it warned loudly, and all the mice quickly stacked up and opened the door.

They quickly searched the corridor outside, trying to find the thing that had just caused their companions to warn them.

After searching for more than ten minutes without finding anything, the mice quickly retreated into the utility room.

As the door closed with a "snap", Charles' figure slowly appeared on the ceiling.

He raised the steel prosthetic limb in his hand and scratched vigorously at his body, looking at the door of the utility room with a somewhat ferocious expression.

Just now through the gap, he has seen everything that happened inside.

"They're blaming me for Lily's death, and they're plotting to kill me!"

Charles did not underestimate these mice at all. He knew that the intelligence of these mice was about to catch up with that of humans, and they definitely had this ability.

"No, we must find a way to solve this trouble."

Charles quickly walked towards the cockpit, intending to discuss the situation with the first officer, but just as he passed by the cafeteria, he heard movement inside.

"Shh~! There are footsteps outside!"

A familiar voice came to Charles' ears. He rushed directly to the cafeteria door and kicked it violently.

"哐~!" The door of the canteen was kicked open, and all the crew members of the Narwhal, except for the bandages, were standing or sitting inside at this moment, and everyone formed a crowded circle, as if they were discussing something matter.

Charles looked at them, wondering what was going on in his mind, and suddenly the group of mice in the utility room flashed across.
