"Found it! That's it!!!"
Charles started to get excited. That thing is just here. There is not even a guard nearby. As long as you send it back to the Coral Islands, the task is complete!
He lifted his foot and was about to take it and stopped abruptly. A thought flashed through his mind. Isn't it too simple? Since it's so simple, why didn't those people take it away before? , But all disappeared? ?
Just when Charles hesitated, the bandage next to him moved. He went straight to pick up the statue of Futan, walked to Charles and said in a slow tone: "Let's... go back... High Priest Waiting..."
Although Charles felt something was wrong, since he got everything in his hands, he couldn't take care of so much at this time. With a wave of his hand, he led the crew out quickly.
"That thing looks a little heavy. Let's learn it for thirty minutes."
The bandage beside him nodded at the same time as James. They continued along the path towards the beach. The weight of the golden statue is not light, even if it takes turns to carry it is very tiring.
When was halfway down the path, Charles stopped to rest. At this time, he couldn't wait until he was completely exhausted. Otherwise, something happened and there would be no chance to react.
By the campfire, Charles, who was sitting on the ground, looked at the surrounding darkness warily.
If there is no danger in the time going forward, then it proves that the danger only comes from the way back, and I cannot relax my guard.
After resting for ten minutes, Charles turned his head and said to the bandage beside him: "The next part of the road, we can't stop, we must go all the way to the end."
The bandage on the side nodded and paused for a few seconds, then looked to the left and right and said: "I... I seem to have forgotten something..."
"As long as you get the idol, everything else will be the same, so hurry up." A somewhat impatient Charles grabbed the idol and moved on.
The bandage didn't say anything any more, and followed in silence.
The bizarre forest was faintly visible under the light of the fire, and there was no sound in the silence except for the two people's gasps and footsteps.
When Charles returned to the beach again to look at the Mouse in the distance, there was a trace of joy on his sweaty face.
"This adventure is successful. As long as I go back, I can buy the exploration ship to recruit the crew and find the way home."
Just when he was running towards the mouse in the distance on the sand, his steps stopped, the smile on his face slowly retracted, and a question appeared in his mind.
"I drove this big steamship by myself???"
An unknown fear suddenly enveloped Charles, thinking about how he came here.
"I was invited by the Futan to search for their holy artifacts. I drove the rat alone. I went to the kitchen to prepare food. I added fuel to the turbine. I cleaned the deck. I... On the patrol deck, I... alone at the helm?"
Charles wandered back and forth on the beach holding the golden statue.
"I used to have a crew member. I sailed with First Mate John and Captain Dim, but Dim was skinned by something underwater, and John also got off the ship in the Coral Islands. I'm alone, that's right!!!"
There is a painful expression on Charles's face. Although the memory is very clear, the things shown are contrary to reality, which is not logical at all.
"It's impossible! I'm not Superman, how could I do so many things by myself! There must be something wrong!!!"
When Charles swept across the footprints on the ground inadvertently, he was shocked.
I saw a total of seven people, large and small, on the ground. The marks were very clear, proving that these were only recent.
Charles quickly threw the statue in his hand, took off his boots directly, and compared it with a shoe print on the ground.
"Texture, size, curvature, these are my footprints! I did not come here alone, the memory in my mind has been rewritten!"
was scared into a cold sweat, he looked at the empty ships next to the Mouse, and now he knew why there were no people on those ships.
Charles took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "The information now shows that I am not alone. I have crew members. They disappeared. Not only disappeared in reality, but also disappeared in my mind. They must be found. , You can’t go back alone."
But a new question posed before Charles, how should he find six people he didn't know and didn't exist, and who were they? What's your name? Is it male or female?
At this time, a figure slowly walked into the light of the torch.
The moment Charles saw the person's appearance, his pupils shrank instantly, and he took out a pistol and pointed it at the thing's head.
It was a humanoid body wrapped in an old yellow bandage, and the bandage on his body was cut and torn. UU reading www.uukanshu.com exposed the dark skin underneath.
"Stop! Tell your name!!"
"I... I'm a bandage, no, I don't... I'm not a bandage, who are you? I seem to know you... Do you know me?"
Quickly glanced at the mummy's bandaged feet, Charles looked for the seven pairs of footprints.
The bandage lines were clearly printed on the sand. Although it was unbelievable, this guy was indeed his own crew member.
Charles put down the middle revolver and quickly explained the matter with the bandage.
"Yes...Is that so? I can't remember, who am I? Do you know who I am?" The bandage hesitated.
"I'll talk about these things later, where did you escape from, and are there anyone else there?" Charles asked quickly.
"The tree...inside the tree...the tree doesn't like me...the tree lets me go, there are other people there."
Charles couldn't figure out what the bandage man was saying, but he seemed to know where the others were.
"Take me quickly, we will rescue them."
Charles imprinted the impressions of the remaining five pairs of shoes in his mind, and then returned to the weird forest with a bandage.
The misty forest was still as silent as ever, and Charles was brought back on the path full of footprints with the bandage.
With the previous reminder, Charles discovered something wrong. The footprints on the ground became fewer and fewer. Obviously, they were also gone.
I don't know if it is a psychological effect, Charles began to feel that there is something in the forest watching himself.
After walking for half an hour, the swaying bandage suddenly turned and walked towards the forest next to it. Charles now knows why his bandage broke like this.
