"Captain! It's been overloaded for several minutes, and the vortex furnace is a little overwhelmed. "The two-wheeled pipe Audrick's voice communication pipe is transmitted to the cockpit.

"Descend and continue to set off in the direction of the goal, I will go outside and have a look. ”

Charles stepped out onto the deck and looked at the dark sea around him against the sea breeze.

There was nothing unusual around me, and it was very calm. But Charles knew that this matter was not over, and the other party must be staring at the narwhal somewhere.

"What are they looking for Dip for? The family wants his help? What do you want him to help with?"

He tried to find some clues to know the purpose of the other party, but he couldn't find any.

"Captain, I really can't, or I'll get off the ship now. Dipper, with a confused expression, walked over and said.

"Save it, they're here to trouble me, do you think they'll let the narwhal go as long as you leave?"

Charles tugged at Deepp's clothes and walked towards the hatch, "It's better to talk this nonsense now, do something practical, follow me to patrol the whole ship, and if there are lurking enemies, kill them directly." ”

Soon, everyone on the ship quickly knew what was happening, and they took up arms and followed the captain to find the enemy hiding on the ship.

But it was clear that the divers weren't stupid enough to stay where they were and let them catch, and they quickly searched around and found nothing.

The spirit of the crew did not dare to relax, and they were always ready for future battles with weapons in hand.

Hour after hour passed, and the fierce battle that Charles imagined did not come, as if what Dipper said was just a lie,

But years of combat experience made Charles feel that something was wrong, and a faint sense of crisis enveloped his heart, and the matter had not yet passed.

Under his order, the crew did not dare to stop for a moment, and were always ready with weapons.

But people are not machines, and they will definitely not be able to hold on to such tension for a long time, so the crew began to work in two shifts.

The crew could work in two shifts, but not the captain, Charles clutched the rudder with both hands, his eyes red like rabbits.

He hadn't slept for three days and three nights. Deep, who was on the side, looked a little distressed, "Captain, why don't you rest for a while, your body will not be able to stand it if you go on like this." ”

Charles turned his head to look at him, "You go and get the bandages and Knona." ”

"What do you tell them to do? I can do it for you for a moment. Dipper said that he was about to take the helm, but Charles was directly dismissed.

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!" Charles's voice was a little grumpy, and anyone who hadn't slept for a long time would become a little grumpy.

Soon, the narwhal's first mate and second mate arrived.

"I squinted for a while, and the three of you stared at each other, and I was immediately woken up when something happened, especially at the bottom of the sea. After Charles finished speaking, he pulled over a stool and sat directly on it.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he felt his body empty, and his body fell sharply downward.

When Charles opened his eyes, the cockpit of the Narwhal, which had just been there, was gone, and everything around him had turned into a dark and twisted kaleidoscope, and everything around him was twisting and spinning.

He felt his body melt and melt into the dreamscape that seemed to be real.

"Dream, this is my dream?" Charles, who thought clearly, suddenly quieted down his slightly chaotic heart.

"Captain Charles, why are you hiding from our invitation?" a voice sounded from behind Charles, like thick phlegm in his throat.

Hearing this, Charles showed a trace of ridicule on his face, he didn't expect that the other party would be waiting for him in his dream.

"We came with good intentions to discuss something with Captain Charles, but we were embarrassed that you were always running so fast. A small ball of green slime floated from behind him.

"As soon as I wake up, I can get out of their hands, but how do I get out of trouble?" Charles said to himself.

Seeing that Charles didn't speak, the ball of light continued to talk to himself. "Actually, you don't have that strong relationship with the Pope, do you? ”

Charles glanced at the ball of light. "What? You've fallen behind in the battle against the Pope?"

Charles's body is still falling, and it has not come to an end, or this dream has no end at all.

"No, we didn't come to you for the other pope, we discussed your mission with you. ”

"Mission, you want to go to the surface too?" Charles's brow furrowed slightly, if it was, it wasn't a good thing.

"No, we will not go to places where the voice of God Phratan cannot be heard, only the closer we are to the Almighty, the more opportunities we have to follow the Almighty to become immortal beings when the final day comes. ”

Charles couldn't understand what the other party was saying, he just wanted to know what the other person was going to do now.

As if knowing Charles's thoughts, the ball of light smiled and said, "It's very simple, the Pope asked you to come and find the key to open the door to the surface, and we don't want to see this happen." ”

"I'm afraid that's impossible, no matter what you talk to me about, I'm sure I'm going to go up to the surface. Charles immediately replied categorically.

"No, no, no, you don't understand what I mean, whether you go to the surface or not, we don't really care at all, we only care if the Pope can go up or not. ”

Charles heard the meaning of the other party's words, and the other party seemed to be trying everything to make the Pope unhappy.

"Okay, I'll promise—" Before Charles could speak, he suddenly felt a violent burning sensation all over his body.

This extremely intense pain is not just on the surface of the skin, Charles feels that this sensation fills the inside and outside of his body.

The strange sight around him quickly receded, and when Charles opened his eyes sharply, he returned to the cockpit. The first mate and the boatswain were looking at him with nervous expressions.

Although he suddenly woke up, the burning sensation did not subside by half, and continued to attach to Charles's body, continuing to torment him.

"What the hell is going on?" said Charles, who was trembling all over.

"It's impossible, he's still negotiating terms with me, and I'm just about to agree—"

Thinking of this, Charles's pupils suddenly shrank, and he suddenly understood something, this is the power of the contract.

When Lily was seriously ill, he once signed a pact with the Pope, who used all his power to find a way to save Lily, and in return, he had to help the Pope find his way to the landmark.

If he had just promised the Photanist Cult, he had violated the contract, and the burning feeling now was the punishment that the contract reminded him.
