Island.

An island a few points larger than Coral Island appeared in front of Charles and the others.

Everyone looked at the distant island with a solemn expression, and they knew that the most dangerous moment of the voyage was coming.

This island is different from the others, with a high wall around the perimeter and a tight enclosure on the inside, so that people can't see the environment inside the island.

The walls are gray and white, and the building material is a bit like cement, and there are no markings on it, making it difficult to tell if this thing was built by humans.

"Captain, look, there's a ship over there!"

"No need to be reminded, I saw it too. ”

The bright searchlight flashed ahead, it was a steamship a few points larger than the one-legged whale, and the white triangle sign next to the ship proved the identity of the ship's owner, it was clear that this was the ship of the Illuminati that had not returned.

"Weapons ready, pull over the boat. "If there is a clue on it, maybe you can avoid the fate of disappearing from appearing to you.

As the distance closed, more details appeared in front of Charles, the anchor was not lifted from the water, and the ship was parked here by themselves.

There was not a trace of messiness on the deck, and on this ship, the Illuminati cultists were not physically attacked.

When Charles stepped on the deck, he found that there was a layer of dust on the deck, and judging by the time, the ship had been parked here for almost two months.

The unattended steamship was eroded by the sea breeze, and there was a sense of dilapidation everywhere.

"Let's go, let's go to the captain's quarters first. "If you want to know what happened on a ship, it's quickest to look for it from the captain's nautical diary.

The group vigilantly rushed to the front of the hatch, which was similar in structure to that of the narwhal, and as soon as they entered, it was a narrow corridor.

Dipper was about to take the lead in exploring the way, but was stopped by an iron hand.

"Captain, what's ......?"

Charles lowered his voice and slowly crouched down. "Shhhh ”

As everyone's vision slowly decreased, a row of six-fingered footprints on the dust was clearly presented in front of them, and there were still things coming in here.

Charles and the others slowed down, stepped on the footprints on the ground, and slowly walked inside.

Doors were gently pushed open, and flashlights followed the muzzle of the gun to poke inside.

But the cabins were all peaceful, and nothing alive was to be seen except for some ordinary things.

Slowly, the last door appeared in front of everyone. Charles's ears moved, and his keen sense of hearing felt movement inside.

"Be careful, there's something in there. ”

Knona swallowed with some difficulty and took out a blue candle.

"Touch!" the door slammed open, and seven or eight barrels slammed in, but then there was a look of disappointment on everyone's faces.

This is the kitchen, and it is the rats that gnaw on the moldy biscuits that make the noise, and they are so frightened that the mice quickly throw down the biscuits in their hands and quickly flee.

The environment inside is the same as outside, except for the tattered ingredients that have been gnawed by rats, there is still nothing abnormal.

The crew quickly dispersed and began rummaging for clues, and Charles was thinking about things with his prosthetic leg propped up his chin.

"How could there be no one, and if there was no one, where did the footprints come from?"

Just as Charles walked past a silver-white kettle and saw the reflection on it, the pupils in his eyes suddenly shrank and raised his head.

A deformed purple monster like a toad hung upside down from the ceiling. When it saw Charles, it found itself with its strong hind legs stepping on the ceiling, and its big mouth full of sharp teeth went straight to Charles.

At this moment, Charles raised his left hand, "Rub!" The hooked spear with the chain instantly activated, and directly nailed it back to the ceiling.

He pulled his left hand violently, and the monster fell to the ground hard, and at this time, the other crew members around him also reacted. Pull the trigger and shoot at the thing.

By the time the gunfire stopped, the thing was almost a mess of rotten meat.

Charles half-crouched down for a moment and said, "This thing looks like it's in the sea, and it should have come up soon to find something to eat." ”

Dipu exhaled, "I thought it was." After doing it for a long time, it turned out to be the footprints of this thing. ”

Charles shook his head as he looked at the monster's webbed lower limbs. "No, it can't make footprints like that, the footprints are something else. ”

As soon as Charles's words came out, the newly relaxed spirits among the crew suddenly became a little tense,

"Let's go, let's look somewhere else first. ”

Soon Charles and the others inspected the ship, but found that there were no clues, not even the captain's nautical diary.

"Maybe the believers of the Illuminati Sect don't write a diary at all, who is a normal person who writes a diary. Richard jumped out and said.

Charles ignored him and continued to think about the problem, he always felt that something was missing, but he just couldn't remember.

Just as one of Lily's rats ran past him, he suddenly thought of a solution.

"Lily, can you get the rats on this ship and ask them what's going on on the ship?"

"Okay, you wait. With the order of the white mouse, the black and brown rats quickly dispersed.

Soon a shivering gray mouse was pushed out by the swarm, and Lily stood beside it and squeaked.

"Mr. Charles, it says that some things come on the boat every now and then to get something and go back to the island. ”

"What kind of thing, is it a person or what?"

Lily turned around and quickly exchanged a few words, complaining with a hint of anger in her tone, "These guys are too stupid to be clear. ”

Charles didn't want to expect too much from a rat, but he knew from his words that there was something alive on the island, and he would come to the ship every once in a while to get it.

Thinking of the huge wall, a thought flashed through Charles's mind, whether the creature that the mouse saw could be Sodom's pirate.

But in the next second, he overturned his guess, if it was a pirate, they couldn't put such a good exploration ship here without doing it, it didn't suit their character.

When Charles came back to his senses, he found that the crew around him were staring at him.

"Captain, what's next?"

He looked out over the huge walls of the island and "dropped anchor, lowered the boat, and prepared to go to the island." ”

Anyway, the island has to go up, and there must be something behind this huge wall.

When everyone walked under the towering wall, they suddenly felt a sense of oppression, as if they were close to a sleeping giant, and everyone even spoke a lot quieter, for fear of waking it up.
