The deep sea is something to be feared.

Alice is a doll, but she still has a smart look that is enough to express emotion and a change in expression that is difficult to explain with common sense, so Duncan can clearly detect the kind of deep sea ...... in the other person's expression In other words, the fear and resistance of some "things" in the deep sea, and then thinking of the spiritual world and the so-called border vision he saw on the sea before, he can easily realize that the vast sea he is in definitely hides great terror.

However, the Lost Homeland sailed on this boundless ocean, as did the mechanical ship it had collided with in the spirit realm.

This can't help but make him curious about something more distant - what is the land of this world like? Or is there a normal land in this world?

However, the puppet in front of her was unable to answer her own questions, and Alice was in a groggy state for most of the time in her memory, which according to Duncan's judgment should be some kind of seal...... or the effects of "repression".

He still remembered the situation in the cabin he had observed through the vast perception of the Lost Land as he passed by the mechanical ship, the mysterious runes, the religious symbolic arrangements, and the symbols engraved on the outside of Alice's "coffin" all said one thing:

Her "cursed doll" must be deeply feared in "civilized society".

Duncan glanced meaningfully at the puppet lady in front of him, who returned the look with a calm and tranquil gaze.

"Again, you don't remember where you came from, and you can't remember what you've been through in the past, right?"

"I don't remember," replied Alice earnestly, "I've been lying in this big box for as long as I can remember—I don't know why, but it seems that there has always been a nervous crowd around me, and they have sealed it in various ways for fear that I will come out of it, and to be honest, now that I think that the circle of nails you put in the lid of my box is quite friendly...... You added eight more shells to the back, but at least you didn't pour lead into them, did you? ”

Duncan didn't care about Alice's trash talk this time, but went on to ask, "And where did your name come from?" Who gave you this name? If you really never left the box and never came into contact with other people, why did you have a name? Did you give it to yourself? ”

Alice was suddenly stunned.

She seemed to be really confused, and remained stunned for more than ten seconds, almost just when Duncan was worried about whether the puppet also had the setting of "crash", the puppet lady resumed her activities again: "I...... I don't remember, I knew my name was Alice from the beginning, but I didn't come up with the name myself, I ......"

She muttered to herself in confusion, and subconsciously held her head with both hands, which made Duncan's eyes jump, and he hurriedly shouted to stop: "Okay, forget it if you don't remember, you don't have to pull your head off......"

Alice: "......"

After this, Duncan asks a number of questions to the puppet lady in front of him, but unfortunately, most of them are fruitless.

As Miss Doll herself recounted, she had spent most of her conscious life in that "coffin", maintaining a state of alternating between deep sleep and half-awakeness, and she knew very little about the outside world, and the only knowledge she had came from the sounds of conversation outside the coffin that she heard half-asleep and half-awake, and this trivial knowledge could hardly piece together the outline of the world for Duncan.

But even so, Duncan was not without gain - in his conversation with Alice, he identified at least a few things:

There is a power structure in this world called "city-state", a word that appears repeatedly in Miss Doll's narration, and almost all of her journey is the end of her journey, which this time ends in a city-state called "Prander".

It seemed to be a thriving place, and sailors said in conversation that it "had an important place on many routes".

Secondly, Alice also has the name "Anomaly 099", and this seems to be some kind of "official" name in the civilized world, as for the name "Alice" herself, it seems that no third person knows about it so far, except for herself and Duncan.

Eventually, Alice had been being transferred from one city-state to another, and she seemed to be the only one who had been "anomalous" in this way, and on some of her travels, she had heard the words "other seals" mentioned in conversation by those in charge of the "escorts".

Based on this, Duncan boldly speculated that perhaps this action of constantly moving the "anomaly" to location was itself a necessary means to seal the anomaly and prevent it from "getting out of trouble".

Obviously, this time, the team responsible for transporting Anomaly 099 was in bad luck - the "dolls" they were escorting had been released because of the Lost Country that appeared in the sky.

I just don't know what is so terrible about this strange cursed puppet, and what kind of damage will be caused by her getting out of trouble.

After all...... She looked harmless when she was on the Lost.

Frankly, Duncan was disappointed.

He thought that he had finally found an intelligence channel that could help him understand the world, but he didn't expect that the guy lying in the coffin was as confused as himself.

But when his gaze swept over Alice, who was still sitting quietly on the wooden box, the disappointment faded a little.

At the very least, he now had one more person to talk to on the Lost - though she seemed like a doll, though she was horrified when her head fell, though she certainly had more secrets, though she occasionally sprang out a bit of trash talk.

But she's better than the noisy goat's head.

And speaking of weird and dangerous...... This endless sea, this Lost Homeland, this strange thing on board, which one seems safe?

Even from the perspective of others, he, "Captain Duncan", seems to be the most dangerous one in the endless sea.

Duncan exhaled, and before he knew it, his expression soothed a little, and asked with a gossipy attitude, "I wonder what you will do if I throw you off the boat again?" ”

Alice blinked: "Are you still stuffing shells this time?" ”

"Nope."

"Is that still a nail?"

"Uh...... No. ”

"Lead filling?"

"No...... Ahem, I mean, if I refuse you to stay on the ship......"

"Then I'll row back again," said Alice, sitting dignifiedly, with a calm face, "I don't want to be swallowed up by this sea, at least there is a place to stay on this ship." ”

Duncan was so shocked by the doll's calmness that he didn't know for a moment whether to say whether she was honest or thick-skinned, and after careful consideration, he said, "You can be tactful......"

"You already know the answer, don't you?" Alice smiled and said, "But if I come back, I might find a way to hide somewhere in the cabin from you and not run to the deck with a big grin." I've only been awake for a short time, and I haven't thought much about it when I came back a few times before, but now I have experience......"

Duncan interrupted her: "My perception is all over the ship, and I can even tell where every wave hits the hull. ”

Alice's words were suddenly held back: "Ah......"

Duncan continued to say calmly, "And I can also choose to destroy you directly, and prevent you from continuing to pester me and my Lost Country in a more complete way." ”

Miss Doll didn't really seem to think about this possibility, she subconsciously opened her eyes wide, and then there was a click near her neck......

The headless puppet grabbed his head in a hurry, and began to press it on his neck in a frizzy manner, Duncan's atmosphere suddenly couldn't be created, he could only sigh with tears and laughter, and waited for Alice to put his head back before continuing: "However, I suddenly think that it is not a bad thing to have an extra crew member on this ship—if you can be honest on this ship, I can arrange a place for you." ”

"You said it earlier! My head is scared off! ”

Duncan couldn't hold back the corner of his eyes after all: "So what's going on with your neck?" ”

Alice looked innocent: "I don't know! I don't usually have that many opportunities to 'go out and move', so I don't know why my body has such a problem......"

Duncan looked at Alice silently for a few seconds, and said with a serious face: "It seems that long-term bed rest is not good for the cervical spine." ”

Alice: "......"

Looking at the wordless puppet lady, Duncan's mood suddenly improved a little.

"Well, all in all, there's a new crew member on the Lost - come with me and I'll give you a place to rest."
