Chapter 687: Settling and Communicating
The sun goes out and causes the teleportation spell to get out of control and make people disappear into the real world?
After hearing Lucrecia's analysis, Duncan's mind was filled with doubts for a while, but considering that there are so many strange and bizarre things in this world, and the sun goes out is the weirdest of all the bizarre events, it seems that nothing is surprising at this time - the most important thing now is to find out where the "truth keeper" has gone.
At this moment, Duncan suddenly frowned, and then as if he had heard some news from afar, the expression on his face suddenly became a little strange.
Alice, who was closest to him, noticed it for the first time: "Huh? Captain, what's wrong with you? β
Duncan looked up and glanced at Lucretia and Maurice, who were discussing how to conduct a search to find Ted's whereabouts, with a subtle expression: "...... Ahem, don't look for it. β
Lucretia Morris: "Huh? β
"It's all right," Duncan waved his hand, "Ted Lear is on the White Oak now." β
Everyone in the living room looked at each other instantly, and after a few seconds of silence, it was Vanna who broke the silence: "...... White oak? Lawrence's ship? How did he get there?! β
"I don't know, it seems that even Ted Lille himself can't tell," Duncan exhaled, casually keeping in touch with Lawrence in his mind, "Just like last time, the White Oak was sailing at sea when the sun went out - the sailors on board spotted Ted Lille drifting on the 'dark border' of the sea, and Anomaly 077 fished him up...... Lawrence said that Ted's mental state was so confused that he couldn't even talk to people that he had only recovered now, and that he seemed to have traveled far, far away, judging by the staccato descriptions......
Duncan paused as he spoke, his expression slightly solemn.
"Suspiciously subspace."
β¦β¦
Ted Lear, wrapped in a thick blanket, sat in the brightly lit cabin, someone handed him a cup of hot tea, which was still a little hot, he held the teacup, looked up and thanked him: "Thank you." β
The shriveled and terrifying corpse stood in front of him, waving his hands: "Just don't send me out next time - I don't know if my bones will grow well once they are broken." β
Ted Lear's expression was a little wonderful for a moment, as if he recalled something not very good, he was embarrassed to pull the corners of his mouth at this "anomaly" who was obviously out of control, but was moving around on the White Oak like an ordinary crew member, and worked diligently, and finally couldn't help but speak: "You are Anomaly 077-Sailor?" β
"Hey, you know me?" When the dry corpse heard this, he suddenly seemed to be a little happy, and said as he leaned over, "The first reaction of other ordinary people when they see me is only to be afraid, but do you still know my name and number?" β
ββ¦β¦ I'm the Truth Keeper of Breeze," Ted Lear looked nonchalantly at the corpse sitting down beside him, "I personally signed one of your transfer documents a few years ago. β
As soon as the dry corpse was halfway through its seat, it bounced up, glared at Ted Lille and trembled with excitement: "You...... You...... You're from the church?! You ......"
"Calm down, 'Mr. Dry Corpse'," Ted Lear said helplessly, as he seemed to anticipate the other party's reaction, "I know you're in a special 'runaway anomaly' right now, don't worry, I won't force you to ......"
As a result, before he could finish his sentence, the dried corpse threw itself on the ground with a "poof", and stretched out his thin hand to grasp the corner of the blanket, howling so heartbreakingly: "I'm waiting for someone from the church to come!" You've sealed me away! Just give a rope that works! I really can't roll a shroud myself...... Why don't you give me a ...... that is even more ruthless than just now?"
How could Ted have imagined that there would be such a scene, the movement of the dry ghoul crying wolf made him scramble, and he quickly pulled the blanket and retreated: "Stop, stop...... You calm down...... Don't drag ...... That was not what I meant...... It's all easy to say, but you calm down first, and resealing is not something you can just say......"
But the dry corpse obviously didn't listen to what he said at all, but still crying wolf, and the movement of a "person" was as lively as the steam core engine room, crackling and muttering something like "resealing", "giving a rope", "hanging on the mast" and other nonsense, highlighting a rational tearing emotional pollution.
Seriously, after half a minute, Ted Lille even began to miss the "cute" students he brought with him - although they would show themselves a clear and stupid look at themselves a lot of the time, at least the worst thing they did in class was sleeping.
It was a lot quieter than it is now.
Thankfully, the noise didn't last long - the door to the cabin was pushed open before Ted Lear could really think about whether or not to beat him to death with the advice of accepting Anomaly 077.
Lawrence, still burning with a faint green flame on his body, pushed the door open and walked in.
Anomaly 077, who was still howling a second ago, instantly fell silent, greeted the captain with a hippie smile, and then disappeared into the room almost in the blink of an eye.
Ted stared dumbfounded in the direction in which "Mariner" had disappeared.
After a long time, he turned his head to look at Lawrence: "I never thought that the 'sailor' that had terrified countless navigators would be like this after losing control......
Lawrence looked surprised: "Haven't you seen Miss Alice?" β
ββ¦β¦ Well, Mr. Captain, you have a point," Ted thought for a moment, and waved his hand, "it seems that anything that has anything to do with the Lost Country will turn into ...... Unbelievable look. β
"Yes, it's unbelievable, but at least it's not bad," Lawrence said as he walked over, "Ignore that neurotic corpse, and don't take his request to be resealedβhe's just playing tricks." Although the guy did have some escapism at first, he was actually quite comfortable on this ship now, but he didn't want to admit it. β
"Sounds like you already know a lot about Anomaly 077?"
"The duties and basic qualities of a captain, I must know everyone on my ship, including that guy," Lawrence said, taking a seat next to Ted and turning his head to observe the look on his "temporary passenger", "How does it feel, Your Excellency the Keeper?" β
"I can still hear the occasional slight noise in my head, but it's much better than before," Ted exhaled, "The biggest problem right now is that there are a lot of jumbled memories bobbling through my head, all sorts of visionsβreal, false, distorted by the self-preservation effect, and I can't tell which one is credible...... I felt as if I had traveled through that dark place for a century...... But you tell me that I've only been away for a dozen minutes from Breeze? β
"Yes, ten minutes, Your Excellency the Keeper," Lawrence nodded, "you only disappeared from the portal for a short moment while we fished you upβso we're now very curious to know exactly what you experienced during that 'little while' time." β
"'We'?" Ted Lille keenly noticed a word mentioned by the captain.
"I've just spoken to my 'boss' and he already knows what's going on here - the 'disappearance' of the Truthkeeper has caused some chaos in Breevan, but thankfully, the White Oak has found you before the chaos ferments," Lawrence said, "Don't worry too much about the city-state, the Lost is near that city, then there is no safer place in this endless sea than in Breeze, as for you, ...... here"
The old captain paused at this point, and after a moment of thought, continued: "We are not sure how much the extinction of the sun has brought to this world, and it may be very dangerous to try to open the space passage again, so you can stay on this ship in peace, and take this time to tell me what you saw in that 'darkness' - 'he' is very interested in it."
Ted Lear's expression grew serious.
After a moment of silence, he looked into the eyes of the old captain in front of him, "You should already know that my experience is related to subspace - this knowledge is not safe. β
Lawrence shrugged, "My boss is also related to subspace - he's not as knowledgeable as yours." β
Ted thought for a moment and felt that the other party was right.
ββ¦β¦ Okay, so where do we start? β
"Let's start with the upside-down mansion that you just mentioned in the muddy, which floats in the darkness......"
β¦β¦
"Ted Lille is lucky to have survived subspace, and he's recovering well - he's telling Lawrence about his incredible experiences aboard the White Oak, and it may not be long before we get a shocking piece of information about subspace."
Duncan temporarily ended his communication with the White Oak and turned his attention back to Breeze, giving a general account of the current situation with Lawrence, and then his eyes fell on Lucrecia.
"From what we know so far, his experience is not the same as mine."
ββ¦β¦ After all, he's only been 'gone' for fifteen minutes, and you've been in subspace for a century," the expression on Lucrecia's face was obviously a little complicated, "In just fifteen minutes, it has already dealt a blow to a saint's sanity, almost tearing him apart into a subspace rift...... And he was even able to resist to the end under the influence of Silandis......"
"Luckily, the only loss on the White Oak's side was that Anomaly 077 was punched," Duncan waved his hand, quickly changing the subject, "until there's more news over there, let's focus on the world after the sun goes out...... Lucy, I wonder what the hell is going on with that weird 'signal'? β
(Push time ~ the title of the book "Starry Sky Destiny", the following is directly introduced:
First, knock on a batch of faster-than-light communication antennas, and then build two sets of spare shipborne main engines and interstellar navigation modules...... Oops, why is it here again? β
Faced with the overwhelming chaos beasts, Ampey scratched his head, let the spaceship unfold in place, and took a shot of the base. οΌ
