The small figure in the darkness sat on a bench in the corridor and watched it go away, his eyes flashing with a faint gold, and his white little hands were gently caressing the blue-purple butterfly.

"Hey, Bersa." In the dimly lit aisle, the captain struggled to support Charles and hobbled towards the control room.

"Don't talk, do you think you're light?" The captain held his breath and said with a flushed face.

This guy is really heavy, at least one hundred and eighteen. Although Persa, like him, is 1.9 meters tall, but Charles weighs 18, and his is only 13. It's no wonder that he walked back to the control room like this, and he didn't die of exhaustion.

"No, I'm just reminding you...... You seem to be going the other way around?" Charles pointed weakly ahead and said seriously.

"If you don't go, I'll ......," Bertha retorted without thinking, but when he glanced at the corridor in front of him out of the corner of his eye, his voice immediately muted.

"It's ......," Bertha was dumbfounded. He remembered that this was the road to the control room, but when did it become a dark corridor with no end in sight?

What's going on? Persa's mind was buzzing with something. Even if he went the other way, there were passages at both ends of the ship. If you go the other way, you can take a few more steps at most, and the control room will not be too far away from you. But the current situation is that this road is not like what I have walked at all!

...... aboard the Miracle Have such a journey? Why hasn't he been impressed at all so far?

"Persa, could this be what Chinese said...... The hell hits the wall, right?" Charles shrugged his shoulders and bowed his head, the long lamp shining on his face, his face pale.

"Don't ...... Don't talk nonsense! Bosa smacked him tremblingly, and his heart was a little hairy. This kind of Chinese legend is sure to scare people half to death at this time.

"Huhu~"

At the end of the aisle, two rays of light suddenly rose faintly, pale golden, like two burning golden candles.

"Anyone?" Pertha was surprised. When I take a step, I want to step forward. But before he could pull his legs away, Charles grabbed him from behind.

"Let's go, let's go!" Charles's face instantly turned pale as a blank sheet of paper. His whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

"What?" Pertha was in a fog and didn't understand what Charles was fussing about. But the next second he knew, because he heard the rustle of the ball as it slid over the sheet.

The voice was all too familiar to him, rustling, rustling, getting closer, getting closer and closer, and finally appearing under the long lamp.

"Holy!" There were thousands of alpacas running through his mind at this time, and if he could, he would immediately pull Charles to find a crack in the ground.

didn't have time to think about it, the captain picked up Charles and ran straight like crazy. That thing has sharp teeth and claws, and a hideous face, and it doesn't look like a good baby, and if it is allowed to start a fire, I'm afraid that two charles will not be enough for it to bite a few bites.

In the light, the woman's cold vertical pupils stared at Bersa, and then its body began to move with them.

"Hey, hey, hey! Hurry, Persa! Hurry up! That's after you! Charles's bow was screaming in a hurry on Persa's shoulder, and he hurriedly turned back to remind.

"Know, know, don't pull my hair!" Bertha cried out in pain, holding Charles's hands tightly.

There was such a scene in the cabin at this moment: the tall man was running down the corridor with another strong man, followed by a long-tailed woman who was in hot pursuit. The lights in the cabin were dim, shining on the tiled walls of the corridor and emitting a cold light.

"Giggles!" Cold laughter came eeriely from behind the big men, and the hearts of Bossa and Charles were furious.

This thing is really haunting, and you can meet it wherever you go. It's good if it were a live target, "pop pop", pick up the pistol and shoot indiscriminately.

But now this thing pistol doesn't work against it, let alone a dagger. This thing is invulnerable, and it's stronger than a piece of bulletproof steel.

"Hey, Bersa, go to the gear depot." Charles was dragged all the way by the captain, and suddenly shouted loudly, "There's a modified M4Super90 there, try it." ”

"What?" The captain was taken aback, thinking that he had misheard, and looked at him with a puzzled face and asked, "Is there such a thing on the ship?"

"Yes." Charles nodded and explained, "What my father left behind, we don't need it, and it's been shelved in the arsenal all these years. Maybe that thing would work for this thing. ”

"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Pertha was furious.

Why is he running to the control room with this thing? I put it in my hand and sprayed it directly on the head of that thing. He wanted to see if it was the thing's hard head or if his shotgun had too many bullets.

"You didn't ask." Charles suddenly raised his face and looked at him innocently.

"I ......" Bersa.

"Rustle!"

The figure of the "woman" chased after her, and her body followed her like a poisonous snake. Bosa was fast, but the "woman" was even faster, and its hard scales made it seem like it was gliding on the ground.

"Hold on! There is a fan valve in the front. The captain gasped and panted.

Two meters in front of it is a fire hydrant with an alarm button that, when pressed, causes the entire cabin to fall valves. This is usually set up on the ship to avoid fires, which was not used before, but now it comes in handy.

It's coming, it's almost there! Just hold on for a few more seconds and they will be saved!

"Giggles!" The icy laughter drew closer, and she was already not far behind the captain.

Charles looked at the figure of the "woman" who was getting closer to them, and his pale blue eyes sparkled slightly.

It's too late, and the women are obviously faster than they imagined. I'm afraid that even if they press the button, before the valve can completely fall, the 'woman''s claws will tear them to pieces.

Can't let it come!

Charles's cloudy eyes flashed with a sharp light. He paused his steps and shoved Bertha away from him.

"Poof", because of inertia, Bosa's body directly crossed the valve, and finally fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Charles watched as Persa's figure crossed the valve, then raised his hand and smashed the alarm button with a punch.

"Buzz!"

A screeching beep resounded through the cabin like lightning and thunder, and the brass doorway began to roar, spinning and falling.

Charles stood quietly in front of the valve, watched the heavy iron door slowly fall, and sighed, "Let's go, Bersa." Take me with you...... There is no escape. ”

The captain jumped up from the ground with a thunderous jump, rolled over and jumped up, and cursed, "Bastard, Charles! What the hell are you going to do! ”

"Boom boom!"

The valves on the roof fell with a bang, and finally formed an impenetrable copper wall between him and Charles. Separating him from Charles is like being in two worlds.

"You must live, Bersa." Charles stood in front of the door with his fists struck, tilting his head back and smiling faintly at the valve. His smile was ugly, and his brow was lowered and his nose was furrowed, as if to make people think he was crying.

The steel shaft fell steadily, and finally set into the grooves on both sides, and the door completed the final blockade, and the door was locked.

"Charles, hurry up and open the door for me!" The captain hammered the valve with a "knock knock" and cursed incessantly.

Nagging, nagging, nagging, it's annoying to listen to! When will you get rid of this nagging?

"Listen to me, Bersa." Charles covered his wounds and stood in front of the door with his head down, "I'm running out of time, and I don't want you to die here because I'm going to let you die with me." Didn't you keep asking me what my father's secret was? Then I'll tell you today. But you must promise me that in any case, whether you believe it or not, you will not tell it to anyone, Mr. Stephenson, or anyone else. We must obey this father's legacy. ”

"Legacy? What testament? Does your father still have a legacy for you? Why don't I know?" Pertha said coldly. He pounded the valve desperately, his fists covered in blood from too hard.

"My father told me a long time ago, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to accept it when he knew it, so he told me all about it." Charles grimaced, and then said, "Listen, Bersa. Father he didn't blame you, whether fifteen years ago, or at any time, you were his hope. My life is short, and from the moment I boarded this ship forty years ago, my destiny was destined to turn towards this moment. ”

"But I don't regret it, Bersa." Charles laughed and said, "I've been very happy all these years, even though you often me off and ask me to clean up the mess for you every time." But...... It's all over, Bersa, and you'll have to go your own way, and I'll tell you the truth about everything, including our existence and mission. ”

Then he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his body trembled with pain.

"Listen, Bersa." Charles said weakly, "In this world, there are actually many species that we don't know. They have always been hidden on the dark side of the world, contrary to our world. All the legends or accounts about them can only be understood from myths, and even their names have never been known for hundreds of thousands of years. Their race is the most powerful creature in the world, and their noble lineage gives them the power to sustain almost all species. ”

He finally sighed and said to Bertha through the valve, "Do you remember the 'woman' we just saw?"

"The woman?" The captain was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and frowned angrily, "Yes! What the hell is that thing? People are not ghosts, and they can run to the ship without our surveillance?"

Persa's face was full of anger, he hadn't seen anything normal since he saw the "woman".

"Don't worry, Bersa, you listen to me." Charles coughed again and explained, "The identity of that 'woman' is actually a creature called the 'beast slave', and in short, she is a strange species of an ancient race. As you can imagine, not human. ”

"Although the appearance of beast slaves is very terrifying, their status in the group is very low, if it is described as a class society of bees or ants, then they are only equivalent to the level of worker bees and worker ants. Above them, there is a group of creatures that are more powerful than them, or even completely superior to them. Those creatures rarely appear in this world, and we call those creatures ...... 'beasts'. ”

"Beasts?"

"Yes." Charles nodded, "Although the beast slave and the beast species have different names, they belong to the same family, and they belong to a very old beast race...... Orcs. ”

"The Orcs are very large and have appeared in this world a long time ago, and their race includes all the ancient species that have appeared in myths and legends, and their numbers can be found in all the dark corners of the world. Historical descriptions of them are scarce, but the most specific one in thousands of years was 2,238 years ago, during the 'Battle of the Holy World' during the Qin Dynasty in China. ”
