"It was a desperate moment, you finally grew up, but you never hoisted the sails again. ”

Another thunderbolt pierced the night sky, and Eve saw the others out of her sight, the crew led by Wall busily busily on board, silent as they navigated the storm.

"I've been in a mess for a long time, although I'm old, I still haven't forgotten my childhood yearning, but that's just yearning, it's an old thing that has been eliminated by the times, and there is no place for it in the new era. ”

"I didn't have a wife and children, I used all my savings to buy the Silverfish and gathered a group of children who also had a longing for the pirate era to be my crew. ”

With a sense of nostalgia or grief, the captain slowly turned around, his tired body wet, and his clothes covered with fish-like scales.

"Child, do you know the feeling of rushing to the extreme when you suddenly see the light after a long time in the dark? There is no reason to speak of, as long as you can get out of this darkness, even if it is something more terrible behind the light. ”

"I was like that. ”

Eve approached the edge of the ship, trying to narrow her blind spots, but she was not distracted by the captain's words.

"What do you want to say?"

"It's just a poor man's self-report, and someone has to know all this, doesn't it?"

The cloudy gaze is like a rolling dark cloud, and the light called dream swells in it.

"I've always wanted someone to know about this, so that my death, our death, has value, but no matter how much I called, no one answered, until you came. ”

The strange call actually came from the person in front of him, who had been calling Eve since the Radiance was stopped.

I don't know if it's a fear or an honor, and Eve didn't expect that she would one day become a special case.

"So you called me here just to listen to your nagging?"

"Probably, people are like this, lonely people are born but refuse to die alone, and even at the funeral, they have to find a bunch of inconsequential people to show that they are not lonely. ”

Stuck on the rudder, the captain said slowly, the beginning of all the tragedy.

"It all started a few months ago when I was approached by a man named Guru who said he could give me all the hope he could have, such as countless wealth, such as high status, and such as the time that had been forgotten by the world. ”

"He said he would fulfill the dreams of each of us, just help him salvage something. ”

You may not be able to understand the feeling, you are desperate for something, but one day in the future, someone will tell you that you still have hope, and in front of that great confusion, everyone will lose their minds, and this is the beginning of tragedy. ”

The wind and the rain were silent, and it seemed as if the whole world was listening to him, and he was the teller of the story, doing everything just to keep it from being forgotten, whether it was good or bad.

"You must have been here to find out about this, to be honest, it was the first time I saw those monsters, I realized that the world was so complicated, and that guy named Mentor made us take something that we shouldn't have, but there was no turning back.

I had three crew members die in the ocean, they dragged that thing up from the depths, I don't know what they went through, all three lost their minds, couldn't communicate, and then their bodies began to rot...... It's hard to imagine that feeling, a person is obviously still alive, can breathe, can speak, and even move, but his ** is so weirdly rotting until it becomes a twisted mass. ”

The voice was filled with remorse and hatred, and the sound of monsters wriggling in the darkness, Eve turned her head to see the strange blood crawling on the deck, and the visual impact of the moment almost made her retch.

"I realized my mistake then, but that's how people are, and if I stop now, there is no point in sacrificing, so I insisted on going my own way, and then led all the crew to death. ”

"In the end, we did get what we wanted, but in a dream. ”

The captain sighed leisurely, and then laughed, as if laughing at himself.

"This is a dream?"

Sure enough, as Eve guessed, this is the weird dream created by that huge source of pollution.

The captain nodded, and said again.

"That's all I want to say. ”

"That's all, I thought you would have some hellish philosophy of life. ”

"That thing doesn't matter, I just want to talk to someone before I die, and then it's over. Do you know the dominoes? one overpowers the other, one after the other, and it is probably like this to make an ordinary person go crazy, as long as there is a little confusion and a series of mistakes, he will become a crazy madman. ”

The captain smiled bitterly, it was his mistake.

"I'm really sorry that everyone ended up being no one or a ghost for my dream. ”

As the words fell, the world swelled again, and endless winds and showers struck the Silverfish as if from the wrath of the god Odin, and the dark sky was dotted with a hideous white, and the sky fell like a waterfall.

Suddenly...... Suddenly, Eve had a strange feeling, and she slowly lowered the gun in her hand, as if she had seen through it all.

"You don't really want to pass on the story, you just want to find someone to confess, right? ”

The captain's shadow froze, and for a moment the whole world fell silent, a huge thunderbolt froze in the air, and countless splashes fell on the incandescent edges, and every drop of rain reflected everything in the world.

No, this is not the captain's true thoughts, at this moment he is like Eve's father, the Duke of Phoenix, no matter what mistakes Eve makes, he will forgive Eve, everything is for her, that is no longer a father, he is also repenting, it seems that letting Eve Ann spend his life safely is the greatest atonement for him.

"You made the wrong decision, you have the wrong consequences, and all you do now is to repent and make your guilt a little lighter. ”

That's what the captain thinks, because his young men are dead, and even if they don't, nothing good will end if they have anything to do with the demons.

He was seen through, and the dam of Naxu finally burst, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Eve looked at the frozen world, this was his dream, and if nothing else, the captain in front of him was the strange source of pollution, the center of all dreams, the mysterious dreamer.

The world was agitated by his troubles, and thunderstorms were even worse.

"So you're punishing yourself?"

The captain is the dreamer, the source of it all, in the dream he is the creator, as long as he thinks that these storms will disappear in an instant, but he does not do that, but more tribulations fall.

"Perhaps. ”

He whispered, and the Silverfish rode the waves, and suddenly infinite sunlight poured out from behind the dark clouds, the place where the light bathed, and the Silverfish was only a step away, but at this moment the great tide fell and completely blocked its path.

Eve could only feel the coldness and heaviness of the water, and when the vision became clear again, the Silverfish had been destroyed in two, and the water was gradually engulfing the poor ship, and Eve roared rapidly.

"What are you doing! Aren't you sailing to a new age?"

It was his dream, but now it was dying, and the captain was destroying everything.

He looked at the girl and shook his head.

"This is his gift to me, a dream where I can achieve everything I want, but it is too expensive, even the god Odin will be disgraced to have a child like me, the gates of the Heroic Spirit will be closed to me, and I will wander like a lonely ghost on this cold sea. ”

"I'm a relic of the old times, and the new times won't contain an old thing like me. ”

The god was saddened, and this time Eve suddenly understood what the captain meant, that he was not just repentant, it was also atonement, that he was dying, that this huge and terrible dream was crumbling, and that it would all come to an end with the sinking of the Silverfish.

"That's the last thing I can do, and hopefully make up for my mistakes. ”

So in the real world, the girl's body was dominated by dreams, like a strange ritual, her feet stood upright on the ground like iron nails, and in a way that ordinary people would never do, she moved like a walking corpse, walked to the kestrel that was also caught in a dream, and picked up the aluminum rifle that was still burning.

Eve in the dream noticed that the connection between the dream and reality was strengthening, she could feel her ** moving, doing something, and in reality, after a long climb, Eve finally came to the place that had been calling him, this is the captain's ultimate goal, he needs someone to end it all, this is his remorse.

It was a twisted and hideous mass of blood, and the man's cheek was sleeping in the scarlet blood, as if he were immersed in some beautiful dream, so the girl raised the aluminum rifle in her hand under the control of the power, and then pulled the trigger.

This is the end of everything, everything that is dark will come to an end, the sea seems to be boiling with the sun, and the captain looks directly at the place where the light rises, and his bitter face finally shows a little joy.

It was a beautiful night, and this was the captain of the Silverfish, who had become a mysterious dreamer by the power of demons, and had built this vast dream, where he had spent a happy night, who had repented and atoned for his actions, who had fulfilled his wish for many years and hoisted his sails above the raging sea.

Even though it was a flawed dream, a story of self-deception, he accepted that it was the darkest and best day of his life.

The Silverfish eventually sank into the sea with the captain, and when Eve woke up with an empty aluminum rifle in her hand, the massive twisted blood in front of her burned to ashes, and the dream that dominated the entire region was over, so that endless demons flocked to the lonely beacon from all directions, as if they had been commanded.

But none of this caught Eve's attention, and she looked at the burning blood, which showed a relief on her blurred face, and then the blood that connected to the walls broke one by one, and finally fell to the bottom of the darkness of the lighthouse, and the light was fleeting. u
