In silence, darkness, and fog, the two yellow lights emit a faint glow.

The bottomless waters rippled, and the Black Knife gradually broke through the fog and headed ahead.

There was still a fog with no end in sight, and there was no reference to pinpoint the exact location.

The Black Knife had been sailing in the Misty Sea for three days, and at first Mark and the others were full of interest, caution, and a desire to explore.

But as time passed, Mark and the others found that the sea of mist was even more boring than expected, there were no monsters hidden in the mist, and there were no huge sea monsters under the water, but because the fog was too wet and cold, they were very uncomfortable, so that one by one they simply returned to eternal space, and the tools were responsible for continuing to drive the Black Knife.

Tokto is one of them.

He was originally a minion pirate in the Maria Pirates, but after his participation in the siege of the Black Knife Pirates, he became a prisoner of the Black Knife Pirates.

Compared to some of the incompetent and furious tool people, Tokto's state of mind is calm, and he finds that after losing control of his body, he can have more time to think.

He reflected on what he had done in the past and felt that he deserved it.

If he didn't enter the sea of mist, he felt that he could be a tool man for the rest of his life, at least his mind was still free.

But the sea of mist was too torturous, his clothes were soaked in a blink of an eye, and the air was damp and cold, and his originally healthy body had begun to have many minor problems.

"Tokto, why don't we run away!"

Suddenly, Tokto hears the voice of his friend Fask.

He turned back completely subconsciously, but this time, his consciousness fell into boundless darkness......

In the captain's room, Hawkins was reading a book, and suddenly he looked up in the direction where Tokto had been, and because of the contract, he noticed Tokto's disappearance.

When he stepped out of the cabin, the deck side walkway was empty, except for a bucket and a rag.

"Retrieve Tokto's records!"

Hawkins picked up the rag and put it in the bucket, then spoke.

The contract terminal of all tool people has a database that records every move of the tool man, so any behavior of the tool man is actually under the monitoring of the brain, and even the thinking is recorded in it, and the fundamental idea of every action is not let go.

Malice, kindness, repentance, everything will become an indicator of the length of service.

If a pirate repents from the heart, his sentence will be gradually shortened until he is freed.

Hawkins opens Tokto's behavioral record and discovers that Tokto is actually confessing, and finally Tokto hears his companion's voice and loses contact.

He pondered for a moment, then voiced in the chat group, "Victor, Faske is your sailor, right?"

"Yes, Captain, what's the problem?" replied Victor in a voice.

Hawkins said lightly: "Send him here, Tokto is missing." ”

"Someone missing?" Mark enthused.

Hawkins frowned slightly, and said in a voice: "Mark, you really want something to happen?"

"Uh...... Captain, I'm just curious, I'm really not gloating. Mark quickly explained.

"Captain, Mark is gloating and fines him with a month's salary. ”

"Mark came out with a doppelganger, and for the next week, you are responsible for the safety of the sailors on the Black Knife. Hawkins thought for a moment and said.

Mark was originally the battle chief, and it was his job to be responsible for the safety of the ship's members, so there was nothing wrong with Hawkins's order.

"Yes, Captain. ”

Mark was well aware of his responsibilities and simply answered.

If nothing happens, Mark will be fine even if he stays in Eternal Space all the time, but since there is danger, Mark is duty-bound.

In a few moments, Victor took Faske to the Black Knife, and Mark appeared on board with a group of combatants.

"Visibility is still so low. Mark frowned and looked around, unable to help but grumble.

Hawkins walked up to Fasker and asked, "Did you speak to Toktor?"

"No, sir. Faske quickly replied.

Hawkins just asked, and after receiving an answer, he ordered Fask, "You go ahead and dry the water on the ship, keeping it as dry as possible." ”

After Faske left, Victor asked, "Captain, how did Toktor go missing?"

"I don't know, I'm in the captain's room, and I sensed that Tokto has disappeared, and the others have disappeared. Hawkins shook his head.

Victor looked around and guessed, "Could it be that some monster is hiding in the fog and eating people?"

"There is no evidence, so don't think about it for a while. Hawkins shook his head.

In the Sea of Mist, even mana was compressed and could not extend beyond ten meters.

When they first entered, they used a number of methods, such as flashlights, mana extensions, and nano-detection robots, but all of them lost contact after more than ten meters.

It's as if ten meters away is another world.

Mark leaned over at this time, holding the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand, and said, "Captain, could it be that Tuoketo jumped into the sea and ran away?"

"It's really possible, once Tokto leaves the Black Knife more than ten meters, the contract may not be useful to him. Victor guessed in a low voice.

Hawkins shook his head and said: "I have seen the record before he disappeared, he is a prisoner who has been reformed for good, it is impossible to jump into the sea to escape, besides, this environment, if it is you, do you have the courage to jump into the sea?"

“......”

Mark and Victor looked around for a moment, then shook their heads with a wry smile.

The water of the Misty Sea was pitch black, and the surroundings were shrouded in fog, except for the faint light on the ship, and if you really jumped into the sea, you might be scared to death even if you didn't drown.

It's an absolute nightmare for people with deep-sea fears.

"Okay, everyone be careful, communicate in the chat group as much as possible, Tokto disappeared after hearing Fask's voice, and the other party may have the ability to call out the name, and anyone who responds will be hit. Hawkins admonished.

Mark nodded in understanding, and then went on to tell the other combatants to pay attention to this.

"Captain, I'll go back first. Victor began.

Hawkins nodded, "Well, keep an eye on the chat group." ”

"Good!" Victor replied, and returned to Eternal Space.

The Sea of Mist is so torturous that the dense fog that can't be dispelled around it is enough to drive people crazy.

Originally, Marnie was very interested in the Misty Sea, and when she first entered the Misty Sea, Ma Ning was unwilling to return to the Eternal Space no matter how much she persuaded her, but after she had eczema the next day, she obediently returned to the Eternal Space by herself, and she couldn't come out after being killed.

There is a saying on the earth that the cold in the north is a physical attack, and the cold in the south is a magical attack.

The fog of the sea of mist is real damage, as long as you stay in the fog, your skin needs to be tested by clammy and cold all the time.

Of course, Mark and Hawkins are actually okay, both of them have mana protection, as long as the magic covers the whole body, they will not feel the clammy cold of the fog.

But the two of them were also uncomfortable, because the clothes would still absorb too much moisture and become wet.

Next, the Black Knife moved on.

Unable to tell the direction, the Black Knife never changed direction at all, and continued to move forward from the moment it entered the Misty Sea.

In the Sea of Mist, the compass and compass are useless, and even in the Eternal Sea chart, the Sea of Mist is a fog, and nothing can be seen at all.

However, Hawkins has a hunch that as long as he continues to stay in the sea of mist, eventually the fog on the Eternal chart will disappear.

Until the chart fog clears, Hawkins' idea is very simple, which is to continue waiting, to calm the brakes.

......

In the following month, the Black Knife did not appear again, and everyone began to speculate whether it was Tokto himself who accidentally fell into the water.

While it is suspicious to hear Fask's voice before he disappears, it is also possible that he was hallucinating.

In fact, Hawkins is not sure, because the behavior record itself is only a record, and does not identify where the recorded information comes from.

For example, if a person hears someone call him by his name, and then he subconsciously thinks that the person who calls him is A, but in fact the person who calls him is B, before going back and confirming it, his subjective consciousness thinks that it is A, then the behavior record will record that the person who called him is A.

If he is killed before turning back, he will be permanently denied the identity of the caller, and A will be recognized as the caller.

Hawkins wasn't sure if someone was actually talking to Toktor or if Tokto was hallucinating, but he didn't realize he was hallucinating and mistook Faske for something to talk to him.

This possibility does exist.

However, for the sake of safety, he still insisted that Mark and his fighters be stationed on the Black Knife to guard against possible dangers.

Mark was wearing a raincoat, and although there would still be mist in his clothes, it was much better with the raincoat.

He held the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand, sitting on the bow of the boat and yawning, but his eyes did not let his guard down.

This sea of mist is indeed weird, in fact, he has been peeping at several times, he can't tell if it's an illusion or something really peeping at him, so he is relaxed on the surface, but his heart is actually tense all the time.

He discussed it with Hawkins, and Hawkins's answer was simple, that is, whether there was a hallucination or not, whether it was a hallucination or a reality, it would be better to simply treat it as if there was an enemy peeping.

It's a really good idea.

Mark stared at the mist, imagining that there were countless mournful nights staring at him in the mist, just waiting for him to show his face, and then taunting him fiercely in the chat group.

With the existence of this imaginary enemy, he is full of spirit, and he will definitely not show any flaws.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in the fog ahead, a different kind of black, which made it possible to clearly distinguish between the two 'blacks'.

Mark stood up, squinting ahead, a bright flashlight in his hand, shining directly at the shadow.

As the Black Knife drew closer, the fog lifted, and a huge sailing shipwreck appeared ahead.
