Chapter 62: Staggered and overlapped

It's highly likely that the bottom of the Lost Country has been navigating subspace all alongβ€”a shocking piece of information that makes Duncan's mood suddenly very delicate.

He had always known that the Lost Country was weird and dangerous, but he never thought that the ship would be so weird - he didn't know much about subspace, and he might not even be as professional as Nina's history teacher, but at least he knew that subspace was the most dangerous thing in the world, the "bottom of everything" that could keep the saints awake at night and make the gods deeply fearful, and that thing was so terrifying that some superstitious sailors didn't even dare to shout "subspace" on the ship about to sail The word is said casually.

Even if subspace is not a sane deity that does not look at it because its name is called, people are so afraid to mention the word at sea.

But it's possible that part of the Lost Land, the ghost ship that has been wandering for a century, has been sailing in subspace all the time, and even ...... It also has a door at the bottom of the ship that leads to subspace.

The dim and dilapidated cabin on the other side of the door may be the structure on the Lost that has been completely eroded by subspace occupation - and that door is a seal.

Duncan subconsciously looked down at the darkly colored deck beneath his feet, as if he wanted to penetrate the layers of planks to see the shattered cabin, and the chaotic light and shadow outside the cabin.

He suddenly felt as if he was standing on a powder keg that had been lit - the little gap in the door opened was the lead of the powder keg, and he didn't know how long it was.

But after a brief moment of shock and nervousness, Duncan gradually reacted: the goat's performance seemed to reveal another piece of information.

According to the panic it showed after hearing Alice's words, it seemed that as long as "Captain Duncan" peeked through the crack in that door, something terrible would definitely happen after that.

Until now, the goathead had been repeatedly checking with Alice in the captain's room about the captain's mental state after that, to see if the captain had said anything on the way back, whether he had made unusual noises, and whether he had brought out unusual shadows.

But Duncan is well aware of his form, and he knows that everything is normal right now.

The "vision" behind the door did make him panic for a while, and he did have a brief thought about whether to open the door - but all this was just a purely psychological change, and he did not feel the slightest influence ...... "supernatural power" in the process.

The thought of a flash of thought was gone, and he didn't feel that the door had any long-term effect on him.

Duncan lowered his head, looked at his hands, and confirmed in his mind over and over againβ€”

Here, his name is Duncan Abnomar, the captain of the Lost Land.

In another time and space, his name is Zhou Ming, and he is an ordinary middle school teacher who is trapped in a single apartment in the fog.

Maybe...... Is the goat's head overly nervous? It was just a crack in the door, not an open subspace passage.

The Lost Ground swayed slightly in the waves, the masts and cables creaked, and the translucent spirit sails were still somewhat unstable, indicating the nervousness and ...... "dereliction of duty" of the controller behind it.

Duncan glanced up at the sails, suddenly settled down, and said in a deep voice in his mind: "First mate, take your helm and control the sails." ”

"Ship...... Captain? The goat's voice immediately rang out, with a little panic, "Ah, yes! Yes, Captain! ”

Duncan didn't say anything, but remained as silent and serious as ever in the mental connection, and he waited for the goathead to speak, and sure enough, it didn't take a few seconds for the latter to break the silence: "Captain, I just heard Miss Alice say...... The door in the bilge opened a crack......"

"Yes," replied Duncan calmly, "I checked. ”

"You did check, Miss Alice said you confirmed the situation across the door......" Goathead seemed to struggle with his words, "do you feel it now...... I mean, a little bit of a trance? Across the door ......"

"Subspace, I know," Duncan interrupted without waiting for the goathead to finish, "do you think I'm not conscious right now?" Don't talk like that. ”

"Of course, you don't look out of the ordinary!" Goathead immediately said, "Maybe I'm too nervous, after all, this has never happened, and the barrier between the Lost Country and the subspace has been stable since you drove the ship back, I ...... I didn't expect the situation to change, and this is by no means a question to you. ”

Drive the boat back? Where did you drive it back?

Duncan keenly grasped the information revealed in the goat's head's words, and quickly guessed some truth, but he did not show anything unusual, but said casually: "As far as I can see, the crack in the door is still very stable, but I can't rule out the possibility of further expansion - I want to hear your opinion." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Stability is good news now, Captain," the goat-headed did not suspect him, but looked very worried, "as for my suggestion...... To be honest, I don't know what to do, you left the door and closed it with your own hands, you never told me what your plans were after this, nor did you mention what kind of changes would happen after this, the bilge has always been handled by you......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Again," said Duncan at once, "you don't have any advice on that. ”

It seems that the goathead does not know all the information about the door in the bilge.

It only knew that the door was on the other side of the subspace, and it only knew that once the door was opened, nothing would happen, and more information ...... It was in the hands of the "real Captain Duncan".

But where to find the "real Captain Duncan" now?

"Captain......" The voice of the goat's head sounded in his head again, "what do you do next?" ”

Arrangement? What is the arrangement? Is it possible to run away to land? With Captain Duncan's reputation as an enemy in the world, I'm afraid that if the Lost Country appeared in the coastal waters of any city-state and could attract an entire fleet to surround and intercept it, what else could he do but continue to drift on the sea with this ship?

Duncan rolled his eyes and looked up at the sky helplessly, and Ey, who had run to the mast and pretended to stand guard, flew down at this time, landing on his shoulder and nodding while muttering: "This is a trap!" Abandon ship and escape! ”

"Escape? Escape a P......" Duncan said subconsciously, but then reacted, "Wait, can you hear me talking to Goathead?" ”

He had been talking to the goathead through a spiritual connection, why did this pigeon suddenly fly down and say such a word that seemed to be appropriate?

The pigeon flapped its wings and raised its toes: "Don't talk, mother, chicken, I have my own understanding!" ”

Duncan suddenly wondered what pigeon soup tasted like.

But he had not forgotten that the goat's head on the other side was still waiting for him to speak, so after he had settled down, he ignored the under-stewed pigeon on his shoulder, and continued in his mind: "You just do your own thing, and I will keep an eye on the door, as always." ”

"Yes, Captain!"

The Lost Land's stance gradually stabilized, and the sails reoriented, allowing the massive ship to continue on the endless sea.

The bow of the ship broke the waves, and the tiny waves crashed against the hull, and there was a clattering sound.

Duncan finished his conversation with the goathead, and he slowly made his way to the edge of the deck, looking out at the dark sea beneath his feet.

The sea reflected the cold, pale glow of the creation of the world.

He'd pay attention to the bilge door, but just "looking" at the door wouldn't change the situation.

He needs more knowledge, he needs to know more and take control of his power, perhaps...... Some more help is needed.

These things, which were not available on the ship, may have been available in the city-state of Plan.

Tomorrow, Nina will return from school, and for the rest of the day, she will return to the antique shop every day after school – and her "Uncle Duncan" will have to be there at that time.

Before that, he had to transfer his "main consciousness" to the city-state - before he could skillfully control two bodies at the same time, such frequent switching of perspectives was a last resort.

This time the transfer was accompanied by a further test for Ay to do.

He'd try to see if Ay could bring the items on the Lost to the antique shop, and if so, make sure it had a limit on what it could carry, and if it would have a "packet loss" problem when carrying more items......

Plans were brewing in his mind, and Duncan's eyes were unconsciously watching the waves rise and fall outside.

The reflection of the Creation of the World in the sea appears hazy and chaotic, and the scattered glimmer of light seems to be an invisible stream of light.

The Creation of the World?!

Duncan was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly felt that the sky reflected in the sea had a certain plausible familiarity.

He jerked his head up and looked at the large, scarred crack in the sky.

The huge "wound" was filled with a chaotic and dim glimmer, and the sky around the wound was a mist of light that had escaped, and if you looked closely, the so-called mist of light ...... In fact, it is the countless overlapping and entangled and vague optical streams.

It's like...... The view from the outside of the shattered cabin at the bottom of the Lost Land.
