In the captain's room of the Narwhal, the lights swayed from side to side with the undulations of the waves, illuminating Charles's face with bandages.

"Da~Dada~" Bandage took Charles's pen and wrote silently and quickly on a blank piece of paper.

Soon, a humanoid pattern formed by some kind of strange arc text appeared in front of the two of them.

This is what the bandage filled in his shadow before, and it is because of this thing that they were able to escape safely the last time they were on the island.

"Bandage, can you tell me what this thing is actually for?" Charles looked at his first mate in front of him with a solemn expression.

Although he really wants to avoid the fact that he is a monster, Charles knows that he always has to face this matter, and he can't hide from it.

"I ...... I don't know ......" bandage silently put the tip of the pen on and placed it between the two books, so that it would not sway with the waves.

"How could you not know? You drew it, or did you forget where you learned it?"

Bandage looked at Charles calmly and shook his head slowly. "No, I haven't forgotten... Previous Island...... Past me...... Remembered...... How do I do it...... , and I thought back to our ...... ...... that happened on the previous island Everything ......"

Although his language was a little tongue-twisting, Charles tacitly understood what the other party was trying to say.

The fact that West had seen the bandages shrink before had always been in the back of his mind.

Since Bandage and West are the same person, for Bandage at that time, that memory is both the past and the future.

So at that critical moment, Bandage recalled the future that was about to happen, and finally he saved his present self through his past memories

"Doesn't that mean that these things you painted are learned through you now, so you only know that this thing can get out of trouble, and you don't know what the effect of this inscription is?"

"No, I know...... What does this thing do...... It's putting the real you ...... Put it out......"

"The real me?" Charles's pupils shrank slightly.

Bandage nodded, picked up the pen with his bandaged hand and continued drawing.

Gradually, a monster that was barely humanoid appeared in front of Charles.

The swollen body was deformed, and the tentacles of barbs and eyeballs slipped out of his chest. The whole face has melted, and seven or eight eyes are constantly pushing on the face instead of the facial features.

Crab-claw-like limbs, bulging balls like bubbles, and triangular deformed eyeballs that stare like fishes all over the body.

Although the bandage didn't seem to have a high drawing ability, he could outline the horror of the monster with a few simple strokes.

Looking at one of the twisted and enlarged steel limbs on the monster's body, Charles, who frowned, touched his prosthetic limb with his hand.

He recalls his previous experience at the last island spiral elevator.

The self who thinks extremely coldly, the self who doesn't care about everything.

This man was himself, but he didn't want to be like that. At least now he has feelings and doesn't want to be that kind of existence, even if that kind of existence strength seems amazing.

"You're the same...... It's ...... him."

Bandage watched Charles silently and pointed to the shadow behind Charles with his finger.

Charles turned his head to look at his shadow in confusion, and the black mass seemed to be darker and deeper than the shadow on the table next to him.

Charles turned around again and looked at the painting in his hand silently, he had always thought that he was an outsider to this underground world, but now he felt that he was getting more and more entangled with this place.

“...... This is a hidden danger...... You're going to have to figure out how to fix this............ I always felt that this was not a good thing...... At least for ...... Now you're ...... Not a good thing......"

"I know, of course I do, but right now I don't have any clue other than that I've somehow become the Chosen One of a god. ”

Just as Charles was about to say something more, he suddenly stood up alertly and rushed out. "The first mate keeps up, there's a situation outside!"

When he rushed to the deck, he also saw Deepp rushing out, and he heard something, and the two of them came to the left deck and looked down.

His black human-like arms, their hands folded together into balls, kept pounding against the narwhal's hull, and it was here that the strange sound he had just heard in the captain's room.

"Captain, I'll take a look!" Dipper jumped straight down.

"Pay attention to safety! Timely warning in case of danger, don't be reckless!!"

"Plop~!", the bandage has fallen into the water, and the thing that was beating the hull of the ship has also retracted into the sea in an instant.

Deepp was fast, and it wasn't long before he grabbed the rope that reached the surface and got back to the deck.

In his right hand was a fluffy dog-like creature followed by a large flat tail.

This is a sea otter, an ordinary marine creature, holding a clam in its hand, and it seems that it has tried to use the narwhal as a cutting board to break the clam shell.

Looking at the little black and panicked eyes, Charles grabbed it by the back of the neck and threw it back into the sea.

"You go down and look around, it is impossible for a sea otter to float alone at such a distance, this is not logical, there must be something else. ”

"Okay!" Dip jumped off again without saying a word, this time for a longer time, about an hour or so, but it was worth the wait, and Dipper brought a very valuable piece of information.

"Captain, there is a seaweed swarm in front of us that is not in sight, and this sea otter is probably the creature inside.

"How wide is the seaweed swarm, can we get around?"

"No, I deliberately looked for a big circle, and a large area in front of me is full of seaweed, it seems that this is a seaweed sea. ”

Charles, who walked back to the cockpit, looked at the chart on the wall, estimated his current distance to the target, and said, "It's not that far, maybe the island is in the seaweed, let's go straight to it." ”

Then Charles looked at Dip and Feuerbach next to him, "You two go down, one is to beware of the propeller being entangled in seaweed, and the other is to be responsible for warning what danger is in the water." ”

"Yes, Captain. ”

"Okay!"

The Narwhal's problems were immediately known to all the crew, and everyone began to pick up their spirits to take on the unknown challenge.

It wasn't long before the kelp swarm appeared under the narwhal's searchlight.

Ordinary seaweed is supposed to be green, but not here. It is inky blue.

Under the searchlight it was inky blue, but in the absence of anything, it looked like a lump of black hair.

"Knock knock!" the narwhal thumped in all directions.
