Chapter 140: Kede's Secret


On the deserted plains, Charles walked forward blindly, all his crew disappeared, leaving him alone.
He himself didn't know how long he had been walking, nor how long he would have to go, but a certain force tended to keep him moving forward.
Suddenly, a red anti-theft door with a lucky blessing appeared in front of him. It was the door of his house.
Char's numb face showed excitement, and he threw it over excitedly, "I'm going back! I found it!"
The door opened, but there was nothing inside the door, not even pure darkness, only endless nothingness.
Charles shook his body suddenly and woke up from his nightmare.
He found a book in front of him, his hand was holding a pen, and he was constantly writing something on it.
"Dude, you have a nightmare again, wait for me, I will write the end of this chapter, and I will give you my body."
When the body returned to Charles's hand, he opened the door and walked to the deck. There is still nothing on the dim sea, they are still on their new way to the land of light
Charles sighed helplessly. He could understand why he had this dream. He had never been afraid of the danger before, but he was a little scared when he was about to go home.
What if there is no exit at the position marked on the chart? What if there is another world outside? All kinds of thoughts kept flashing in Charles's mind, making him upset.
"Shtunggligrah" """nnfhhuiY!!!"
Suddenly the whispering sound in his ear made Charles' eardrum feel tingling. "Fuck!"
With bruises on his face, Charles raised his prosthetic limb and hit his forehead in an attempt to offset his irritability with the pain.
After hitting twice, Charles broke the skin on his head and began to bleed. When he hit the third time, an iron hand next to him reached out and blocked the third.
It was the doctor's prosthesis, and he handed over a cup of dark green potion.
Charles didn't say anything. He raised his head and drank it. The extreme bitterness made Charles' features almost wrinkled together. But the potion was effective, and the whisper in Charles's ear was much quieter.
"Thank you." Charles passed the cup.
"Remind you, this is the last medicine I can dispense. You are mentally breaking down. Although I am a doctor, I can't understand your condition anymore, and I don't know how long you can last. "
"The voyage is about to end. There will be three days at most. After three days, I will never go to sea again."
"Huh." The doctor was unbelieving. "Regardless of whether you go out to sea or not, the other people on the boat have already begun to show mild symptoms of scurvy. If you find that ghost place without island supplements, everyone on the boat will have to die. Don’t forget that your job is the captain. , You must be responsible for the lives of all crew members."
Without waiting for Charles to speak, the doctor limped towards the cabin.
Charles pressed the anxiety in his heart and began to patrol the Narwhal as usual.
The crew can also feel that their captain is a little impatient, and everyone is working hard to do their own tasks, for fear of touching him at this time.
Three days, two days, one day, as the distance got a little closer, the sea was still dark, and Charles's heart became more and more irritable.
When the last day came, Charles was sitting in the cabin and painting the landscape, but the more he painted, the more ugly he felt.
"Hey!" The drawing board was slammed on the wall by Charles, and the tuned paints on the color board were scattered everywhere.
Charles, with a distorted expression on his face, broke his hands, broke the brush into two sections, and threw them directly on the ground.
With frowning, he stood up, loaded the gun, and planned a new round of inspections. But one person stopped him.
"Come with me for a drink." Kede, with dark circles on his eyes and a very haggard expression, stood in front of Charles with two bottles of wine.
Charles and Kede were never friends. The relationship between the two was just mutual use, but if anyone can understand Charles' feelings best, only the old man in front of them.
"Good." Charles reached out and took the bottle in Kede's hand.
The two stood on the deck and chatted while drinking wine.
"Charles, do you know? I have basically never slept, my heart is really disturbed."
"I can tell."
"Charles, do you think there must be a place of light?" There was a trace of hesitation hidden in Kede's bloodshot eyes.
"Why do you ask? It's not like a pious person should ask."
Ke De opened his mouth to say something, but as if shocked by his own words, he paused for a long time before speaking in a low voice.
"What if there is no bright place? If there is nothing, maybe that chart is fake?"
"It exists, I have been there, but I actually came from that place."
Kede watched Charles for a long time, and suddenly laughed. "Charles, I believe you, do it!"
Charles raised his head and took a sip of alcohol, and the confusion in his mind eased a lot.
You go down one bite at a time. The wine in the bottle is halfway down. I don't know if it is really drunk or fake drunk. Kede, who is drunk on his face, leaned over and patted Charles' prosthesis with his hands.
"Charles, I have a secret, I tell you now, don't tell anyone else."
"You said."
Kede put his drunken mouth into Charles' ear and said: "Actually, thirty years ago, when the blessing ceremony was held in the Church of Illumination, I saw so many people dying, so I secretly tried to hide. ."
Charles did not answer, took a sip of wine, and waited for him to continue speaking down.
"Think about it, how painful they can put these three thick steel nails into their heads, you say ~EbookFREE.me~ Is it only a fool to do this, I am a smart person, you know one How messy are smart people in a bunch of fools? Why should I be fools!!"
Charles tapped a bottle on his bottle. "Needless to say, I've seen it a long time ago."
"Impossible!" The dizzy Kede waved the bottle and almost hit Charles.
"I...I have hidden my secrets for so many years, how could you have...hiccups...now!"
"I have known you for so long, how many times have you lied to me? Since the first time you lied to me in Sodom, I have doubted you."
Kede's body slid along the ship's edge and sat on the deck. Sitting on the deck, he yelled like a drunkard, and his voice spread far and wide in the open sea.
"Even if those fools are pious, what is the use of holding those disgusting rituals? In the end, it was not me, an ordinary person who did not receive the blessing, found the place of light!"
"When I go back, I will open the eyelids of those stubborn old things and let them take a closer look!! Who is it!! Who is the most devout believer of the God of Light!!"
