readx;? Where is the person, it is clearly a sculpture, and it is also a sculpture of a sea monkey. The size of the sea monkey in the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion is not large, and when it is not clear from a distance, it really thinks it is a figure. When I looked closer, I realized how strange this sculpture was.

Ian was so impressed with the sea monkey that he almost killed him that night on the Sophia. So he had observed the sea monkeys from a distance, and now he was surprised to find that this sculpture was so lifelike, as if a real sea monkey was standing in front of them. The folds, textures, and hairs on the face are indistinguishable from the real ones.

So much so that Tim was frightened again.

Seeing that there was no danger for the time being, the first mate withdrew the musket from his arms, walked up to Vincent, and asked softly, "Something is not right, sculptures should only be made by humans." ”

Vincent was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head: "Don't jump to conclusions about anything, there is more than just humans in this world. Also, this is an island of legends, so don't be too surprised if something happens. ”

The first mate nodded. Several people gathered around this sculpture and discussed for a long time, but finally did not come to a reason, originally someone wanted to resist the sculpture and take it back for research and research, but Vincent vetoed it. First, the sculpture is fixed here, and it may be damaged if forcibly taken away, and secondly, the sculpture is somewhat heavy, and it is difficult to move with it. As for three, Vincent didn't say, but Ian guessed it too.

This sculpture is so weird that I don't know if something ominous will happen if I forcibly take it away.

Eventually, they gave up the urge to take the sculpture with them by force, and decided instead to take a break here before hitting the road. Although it didn't take long, the woods always gave people an oppressive atmosphere, and people unconsciously raised their hearts to their throats, so it was very difficult to walk. So they decided to wait until dawn before they hit the road, and there were only a few hours left anyway.

So everyone sat on the floor, and some people even took out dry food to eat.

Ian had his back to the sculpture of the sea monkey, and Tim sat next to him, looking back from time to time. The woman named Meria and Newman Stolan sat next to Vincent, who was talking to Vincent while Vincent frowned, shaking his head and nodding from time to time.

Then Ian noticed that the little fat man, known as "Grimm the Thief", was sitting alone under the tree, his eyes were very lonely.

"Hey, Ian. Tim leaned over to Ian's side again, licked his lips and said, "Don't you think that sculpture is too weird?"

"What's weird?"

"I always felt like it was staring at the two of us. Tim swallowed the saliva stuck in his throat, "Especially now, the feeling is even stronger." Look back, is that guy really staring at us?"

Sculpture staring at people?

Ian was horrified by Tim's words, and suddenly felt his back be cold. So he turned his head and looked at the sculpture again.

Tim was right, the face of the sculpture was indeed facing them. A pair of dull and empty eyes flickered in the flickering firelight, and half of that ugly face was buried in the shadows.

Ian really felt that something was staring at him, but not from the sculpture itself, but from above it, above its head. It was all black, but Ian felt that there was a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness, a pair of oozing eyes.

But it was just a feeling, and Ian didn't actually see anything. He thought it was because he hadn't rested well in the past few days and was a little sluggish, but just as he shook his head and was about to close his eyes and take a nap, a breeze blew and blew the candles on the torches beside him. The light of the fire lit up the position above the sculpture for a split second, and an ugly and terrifying face flashed before Ian's eyes.

Ian was stunned, and quickly realized that it was not an afterimage, because he had just seen a pair of green eyes. That's the eye of a sea monkey, and the eye of the sea monkey sculpture is colorless. So he sprang up and yelled, "Be careful! there's a sea monkey behind that sculpture!"

Everyone was stunned, but Vincent was the first to react, he was closest to the sculpture, and immediately turned around and pulled out his long knife. The metal blade made a piercing "clang" sound as it rubbed against the scabbard, and the next moment, his blade was already aimed at the sculpture.

The first mate stood up with a torch, and the firelight instantly illuminated everything.

I saw that above the sculpture, there was nothing.

The crowd fell silent.

After a long time, Tim cautiously asked, "Brother, it seems that your mental state is not as good as mine, take a good rest." ”

Ian froze in place. It's impossible, he just saw it, he saw a pair of green eyes and an ugly face, how could he be wrong?! But the facts are here, and he has no way to prove himself.

The others let their guard down and didn't blame Ian for anything, just let him rest. Ian shook his head in frustration and was about to sit down when Vincent stopped him.

"You, yes, that's you, come here. Vincent pointed at Ian, "I have something to say to you." ”

"It's over, you have shaken the morale of the army, and it is estimated that you will be trained. Tim looked at Ian sympathetically.

Ian glared at him angrily, if he hadn't just said that he felt something staring at him, would he have had the illusion?

Ian walked up to Captain Vincent, and the first and second mates were also there. It's just that their faces are not very good-looking, and seeing this, Ian realizes something.

"You read that right. Vincent looked Ian in the eye and said, "There was something lying on this sculpture just now, look here." ”

Vincent pointed to the position of the sculpture's shoulder, and Ian looked down to see a water stain. And this water stain was not there just now.

"Something was just here, and escaped the moment you spoke. Vincent lowered his voice and said, "Whether it's a sea monkey or something, that speed is enough to threaten us." ”

"Then why don't you tell them the truth?"

"It's going to freak them out. The second officer lit a cigarette for himself, "Let me tell you, the crew members who participated in this voyage, except for the three of us, are a bunch of rookies." Don't ask me why, because when those old fritters heard about the sea monster, no one dared to go to sea. ”

However, rookies also have the right to know the truth of the matter. ”

"Yes, they always have to understand, but not now. The first mate took over the topic, "Do you know what? What is the worst enemy of the crew on a lonely island? Let me tell you, it's not the unknown, but loneliness and fear, which can directly destroy a person's heart." And these two things will be infinitely magnified at night. ”

"So we can tell them during the day. "And not at night, imagine how terrifying it is to have a creature that can move at high speed at night, and we can't catch it." No one dares to sleep, for fear that they will never wake up again. ”

Ian was silent, he knew that Vincent had a point, so he didn't refute it.

"Young man, you're not simple. Vincent looked at Ian and said, "You killed that sea monkey yesterday and found this sea monkey today, so it's no wonder you dared to be the first to board this ship as a tourist." Tell me about your identity, we need help. ”
