Chapter 490: Everyone Returns to the Island
The pier of Hope Island is crowded with people and voices.
The islanders discussed with each other why the Governor came back so late this time, and what happened in the outside world.
Standing at the forefront are always those in power in the Governor's Mansion. At this time, Leonardo turned to look at James who was standing aside.
"I don't care what you think, but I'm very happy that the governor is back." There was a very happy smile on his face, and there was almost no flaw except the slightly trembling corner of his mouth.
James gave him a cold look, "Are you afraid that I will tell the captain what you did? Don't worry, I will tell him."
Leonardo suddenly became anxious, "All the things I said before were based on the assumption that the governor passed away unfortunately! Since he came back alive, of course my plan will not start, and don't forget, I This is also for the stability of Hope Island."
James was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and he directly raised his foot to meet the Narwhal, and the others quickly followed.
A group of people climbed up the deck along the rope ladder. When James saw the scene on the deck, the excitement on James' face slowly faded.
The whole Narwhal looks very messy, the deck is full of water stains, the windlass has a thick layer of rust, and all the ropes on it have disappeared. It seems that there are no sailors to take care of it.
The most important thing is that both the deck and the cockpit are empty, and the whole ship seems to have become a ghost ship wandering in the sea.
"How did this happen! Where did everyone go??" James panicked and walked directly towards the cabin door.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, the vigilant navy quickly loaded the bullets to prevent future accidents.
Just as James opened the hatch, a figure rushed forward like a howling ghost. Seeing seven or eight gun barrels raised directly, James' shout stopped them, "Stop! He is not an enemy!!"
As he said that, James opened his arms and hugged the person who rushed over. That's Boatswain Dipper.
Now Dipper looked completely crazy, opened his sharp mouth and bit James' strong shoulder fiercely, his eyes full of viciousness kept tearing.
The clothes on his body were extremely messy, there were several deep strangle marks on his body, and a lot of scales on his body were rubbed off.
"Dipper, it's me! What happened! Where is the captain?"
James' inquiry didn't get a response, and Dipper didn't have any rationality at this time.
However, when everyone's attention was on Dipper, they didn't notice a black scaled tentacle protruding from the dark corridor at all.
One of the navy members keenly noticed this, and he raised the rifle in his hand in horror, "There are monsters!! Enemy attacks!!"
The soldiers reacted quickly, the gunshots kept ringing, and the bullets kept shooting at the monster lurking in the darkness.
"Shua~!" A wriggling monster of flesh and blood covered with green cross pupils instantly blocked the bullets, blocking their attacks easily and quickly.
Seeing that the bullets were useless, the navy with guns quickly retreated, and a group of soldiers with various relics in their hands quickly stepped forward.
"James' voice? So it seems that I'm finally home?" An extremely tired voice stopped the two sides who were at war with each other.
A figure squeezed out from the corridor blocked by the flesh monster.
That was Charles, and now he looked extremely haggard, with heavy dark circles under his eyes as if he hadn't slept for a long time, and there was something indescribable in his eyes, heavy and tired.
On his shoulder stood a little mouse with blond hair. Excited, she stretched out her little paw and waved at James continuously.
"Big man!! Long time no see! Do you miss me? Ah! Your belly seems to be getting bigger!"
"Li...Lily?" James stared at the unreasonable things in front of him with wide-eyed shock. His dead friend was actually resurrected.
Charles, who was slightly hunched over, looked at the dark corridor behind him, with a trace of bitterness on his face.
Immediately afterwards, he stepped out of the hatch with heavy steps. When he reached the deck, he turned his head and stared blankly at the bright coastline in the distance.
The sea water without darkness is dark green and looks very beautiful, but in such a scene, the more beautiful it is, the more deadly it is for the humans in Earth Sea.
At this time, James rushed out with his hand on the injured shoulder. He asked in surprise, "Captain, what's going on? How did Dipper become like this? Where did the others go?"
Charles turned his head to look at the former old subordinate, and he patted his shoulder with a weary hand.
"The others are in the bottom deck, please help me deal with it, I'm tired and I want to take a good rest."
After saying this, Charles took Lily to the side rope ladder.
James stared blankly at his captain's back gradually going away. He found that his captain seemed to have changed a lot this time.
"Want to know what's going on? You can ask me."
Hearing the female voice behind him, James turned his head and saw a hideous starfish-like monster shrinking rapidly, turning into a glamorous and sexy beauty.
She was Anna, a woman James knew.
Anna walked slowly to James' side, gently raised her fair right hand and brushed her long hair.
"We went to a place, so there is something that can make people crazy, Charles asked me to help them stabilize the sanity and cognition of the crew."
"It was nothing at first, but as you know, the situation in Earth Sea is always variable. No one would have thought that there are gods living in that place. We directly confronted that thing."
"What?! The gods attacked you?!" James' pupils shrank to extremely small in an instant.
Anna, who was interrupted, showed a hint of displeasure on her face, "Wait for me to finish first, that god attacked Charles, and you also know his relationship with me, how could I bear that situation, and rushed up immediately Helped."
James' eyes widened, and he pointed at Dipper, who had been subdued by the navy soldiers. "What does that have to do with Dipper going crazy?"
Anna shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly: "After all, I can't do two things at once. Since I went out to rescue Charles, I have no use maintaining the crew's sanity and cognition, so..."
Without waiting for Anna to finish speaking, James rushed directly to the bottom of the Narwhal.
As he pushed open the door suddenly, he saw that all the crew members were firmly tied up with ropes and tied to the ground.
Kenona, who was next to him, seemed to recognize James, and smirked with his mouth tilted, "James? Hehehe, what are you doing at my house? Why did you tie me up?"
James tremblingly walked among the crew members, his trembling eyes swept over them one by one.
They are all crazy, the entire crew of the Narwhal is crazy except for the captain Charles.
