Chapter 92: The Muppets
"Don't pay attention to these guys, they are all ignorant mortals, no matter how powerful they are, they are just some low-level animals driven by desire, only by finding the land of light and entering the kingdom of the god of light, we humans can get eternal happiness and peace. ”
Charles rarely agrees with what Code said.
No matter how strong the strength is, what's the use, it's not that they're trapped on these islands that don't know when they will sink, they can endure the darkness so much, it's just that they haven't seen the light.
After exchanging messages with Charles, Ed immediately sailed away again, looking at his anxious back, Charles felt a little seen of his previous self.
As the hope of returning home drew nearer, he was not as anxious as he had been.
The next morning, Charles opened his eyes and found himself once again lying in an unknown bar with two revealing bunny girls in his arms.
He shook his dizzy head and walked out of the bar.
"Don't waste the echo in this kind of place, don't forget, we still have 3 million to buy a new arm. Charles said to the other personality in his mind.
"This kind of cheap place can cost a few bucks all inclusive, don't bother me, I'm tired. ”
Charles looked left and right, and walked towards the bat inn that was now his own, and he needed to take a sketchpad to continue sketching and reduce mental pollution.
When he got home, he found an unexpected person sitting on the couch, it was the doctor.
"How did you get in? I remember not giving you the key. ”
"Your rat opened the door for me. ”
Lily, who was standing on the pillow, nodded her head again and again, with a look of quick praise on my face.
"What's the matter?"
The doctor jumped out of bed and limped outside, "Follow me, I've got in touch with the prosthetic guys, they're going to meet you." ”
As soon as he heard this, Charles immediately put down the sketchpad in his hand, no one likes to lose an arm, and neither does he.
Charles followed the doctor into a car and drove towards the island.
Coral Island is not big or small, and the car went around various streets and alleys for more than an hour, and finally came to the extremely prosperous island center.
Compared to the chaotic port area, the central area of the island is a different story.
Precious electric lights are displayed in the streets of this place, and the beggars, madmen, and street children of the harbor are replaced here by polite gentlemen, ladies with small dogs, and all kinds of private cars.
The beautiful singing voice came from the gramophone of the nearby high-end store, and Charles glanced at a pair of sky-blue leather shoes behind the glass. "Shark Qin brand men's high heels, priced at 35,000 echoes. ”
The filthy doctor and the one-armed Charles walk down the street, and this incongruity quickly attracts the attention of others.
"Beep——!beep——!" Two tall enforcers in black uniforms walked over with a whistling voice.
"Hey!!You two, stop me! The untidy are forbidden to enter the center of the island!!What if the big guys see you so poor and hurt their hearts!"
The doctor with the flask took a half-step back and let Charles out.
Charles didn't even bother to speak, and pulled out the proof of applying for the explorer in the first place.
As soon as he saw the anchor mark of the Explorer Guild, the expression on his face instantly changed from contempt and contempt to taboo with a hint of fear.
"I ...... I tell you, don't mess around here, for the Governor's lords on board live nearby. ”
As soon as the words were finished, the two turned away in a panic, and the sound of their conversation kept coming from the outside to Charles's keen ears.
"Why did the madman of the sea come here? Damn! Why am I on duty today!"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and tell people to keep an eye on them, what is going to happen to them, we are not happy!"
Seeing that the little trouble was relieved, the doctor continued to walk, and he walked through the busy street for half an hour, and finally stopped in front of an upscale café in the center of the island.
The colorful glass wind chimes rang in the café, and the doctor followed Charles to the bright and tidy room.
Ignoring the surprised customers in their suits and leather shoes, the doctor walked straight to the back kitchen.
In the kitchen, the baker was so engrossed in tracing the edges of the cake as if he hadn't seen the two people entering.
"Why do prosthetics make this place?"
"Well, that's just part of their business, and they're not going to do it a little bit. ”
Behind the stuffy kitchen is an empty room. In the center of the room sits an elderly woman reading a newspaper in a rocking chair with reading glasses.
Half-framed reading glasses, large-flowered style elderly clothes, just from the appearance, this old lady is a kind grandmother.
"Hey, Uren called us. The doctor said to the old lady stiffly.
The old lady looked at Charles's empty left sleeve, nodded and got up from the rocking chair. Slowly walked towards the kitchen.
"She helped me make a prosthetic?"
Hearing the words behind him, the doctor didn't look back, took out the tin flask, tilted his head and poured it. "No, it's Ulun from Kuropha Island who does it for you. ”
"Kuropa Island, it will take at least three months from there to Coral Island, and I can't wait that long. ”
"Of course I know that you are impatient, don't worry, look at it, they have the ability to do business all over Haize, of course they have their own methods. ”
Hearing this, Charles stopped talking, and he was curious about how he could help himself fit a prosthetic leg in the absence of a person.
The kitchen door was opened again, and the old lady came back with a simple cloth satchel in her hand.
"You two stand back. She said with her mouth open, which had few teeth.
When she saw Charles standing next to the wall with the doctor, she slowly crouched down, touched the black slime-like thing in the cloth bag with her wrinkled right hand, and began to draw on the ground.
All kinds of intricate black unknown characters were drawn by her fingers, and the words were closely arranged with each other, finally forming a mysterious circle with an outer circle and an inverted triangle inside.
A tattered bear puppet was placed in the middle of the circle, and the old woman took out a few black candles and placed them around the puppet according to a certain pattern.
A jerky and subtle spell came out of her mouth, and a hair-tingling sensation instantly enveloped the room.
The spell was slow and then urgent, and the old lady's voice became higher and higher. Eventually, the spell came to an abrupt end at its highest point.
The candlelight swayed, and suddenly the brush went out, and the bear puppet placed on the ground swayed and stood up.
Its eyes, made of black pits, swept towards the occupants of the room.
