After Duncan opened his eyes, everyone instantly came together.

The translucent ghostfire still burned silently between the folds of the shroud, and Duncan blinked, extinguishing it before the flames literally burned the shroud completely, and then he slowed down before sorting out the information he had just seen and his gaze fell on the sailor.

The corpse stood a little farther away, keeping its distance and looking at it with a probing head, looking hesitant.

"Uncle Duncan, what do you see?" Nina leaned over and tugged at Duncan's arm, tilting her head up and asking with a worried and curious expression.

“…… Captain Carani's memories," Duncan exhaled softly, not shutting down, "it's a record of the Seasong's experience after the Trek and the process of returning to the sea......"

The "sailor" suddenly pricked up his ears and unconsciously moved in small steps to this side.

Duncan, on the other hand, told everything he had seen in the vision.

After his words fell, all the eyes of the scene really fell on the "sailor" who had moved to the side of the coffee table in small steps.

Anomaly 077 was listening with his ears stretched out a second ago, and suddenly heard Captain Karani hand over the route to the outer barrier to him, and his expression froze suddenly, and after noticing that everyone was looking at him, he immediately took a half step back, staring at his eyes and waving his hand repeatedly: "Hey, don't look at me, I don't know about the route, what is the route...... I'm also confused! ”

"You don't know?" Helena frowned when she heard this, and looked at the other party very suspiciously, "Captain Kalani said that he gave you that route...... You don't have any impression at all? ”

"I didn't!" The corpse opened his hand, looking more confused than when he was thrown out of the portal by Ay just now, "I remember the log, I remember vaguely...... You know, I don't even remember the specific process of my return back that year! ”

The tall, silent Frem stared at him for a long time, and then suddenly asked, "Then what do you remember?" After returning to the Infinite Sea, you have nothing more impressive? ”

The "sailor" thought hard for a moment and slapped his face: "Yes, I remember lying in a box as soon as I opened my eyes, and two men in blue and black robes were chattering beside me while scattering ashes and spices on me, and a stone-like Senjin like you was about to nail the coffin lid to my head, and I wouldn't let him nail it, so he gave me a hammer - and when I opened my eyes, it was 1864 year." ”

Frem: "......"

The living room was quiet for two seconds, and the atmosphere seemed slightly awkward, but Alice didn't seem to notice this at all, and when she saw that no one else was talking, she asked curiously, "Ah, what then?" ”

"And then? As soon as I sat up, I heard someone shouting next to me, and I didn't know what I was shouting, when I saw a girl rush up and give me a hammer - and then I opened my eyes in 1901, Captain Lawrence and a group of sailors covered in fire tried to hold me to the bridge, and I didn't resist...... The rest of the story is known to you......"

As everyone in the living room looked at each other, Helena coughed awkwardly, and Duncan spread his hands a little helplessly, and everyone began to try to turn their attention away from the topic......

Alice, who was also lacking in heart, was still muttering to the "sailor": "Hey, then how do you know it's 1864?" Didn't you just open your eyes and be stunned? ”

"I inquired with Captain Lawrence later, and he said that was the first time in history that I was close to completely losing control...... Actually, I woke up several times, but I didn't remember any of them......"

"I'll tell you, I used to sleep in a box, and there were people chattering next to the box, and I was sprinkling things and nailing......"

"Really? So how well do you sleep? ”

"It's okay, and the movement of their chanting is not very noisy - but now I don't sleep in the box half of the time, and the captain gave me a bed......"

The "sailor" sighed from the bottom of his heart: "I really envy you for being able to sleep like this......"

The two of them suddenly discussed a very evil topic as if no one was around, and Duncan finally couldn't help it when he heard it, and interrupted their communication with two dry coughs: "Ahem, now is not the time to talk about this." ”

"Sailor" instantly closed his mouth.

"First of all, I believe what you said, you should have indeed forgotten about the 'route,'" Duncan adjusted his expression and said to Anomaly 077 with a serious expression, "but what is recorded in Captain Kalani's journal must also be true, and the 'route' is on you." ”

The "sailor" opened his mouth and pointed at himself: "Then what if I don't remember......"

"I'm not done yet," Duncan waved his hand, "it probably doesn't matter if you remember it or not—for this important route may not have been simply 'remembered' in your head from the beginning, and Captain Carani's mention in the journal that she 'gave you the route' made me very concerned...... She seems to see the route as some kind of 'object', or...... Some other 'entity', perhaps she realized that there would be such a day when she left that journal. ”

Duncan paused, thought for a moment, and then his eyes fell on the "shroud" again.

"Just as her journal crossed the border in this form, she may have left you information about the 'route' in some other way, and even if the border distorts that information, interferes with your memory and even self-perception, the 'route' will not disappear - it is still on you, in some 'form' that we don't know yet."

The "sailor" listened stunned for a moment, and seemed to be gradually convinced, but he suddenly had some doubts: "...... Can Captain Carani really do such a thing? I thought it was some kind of 'accident' that her journal became like this...... After all, she's just a mortal......"

"But she had confronted our Lord once," Helena suddenly broke the silence, "any mortal has ever confronted the gods...... It is difficult to be considered a pure 'mortal' anymore. ”

The "sailor" stopped talking.

"We're going to need some time to figure out how to plan our next move, including verifying that you really have the information on your 'route,'" Duncan said with a serious expression as he looked into Anomaly 077's eyes, "but either way, you'll have to be with us for the next few days - if necessary, sail with the Lost Homeland, and be prepared for that." ”

When the "sailor" heard this, his whole body trembled visibly: "Huh? I thought I could just come and send me an information......

Duncan looked at him silently.

The "sailor's" expression instantly changed: "Of course, you know, I have been a loyal member of the lost fleet from the beginning, and it has been my life's wish to take that legendary expedition ship......

Duncan's face relaxed, smiled and nodded, and the others also smiled at the "sailor", and Shirley stepped forward and patted the other party's thin arm: "Don't be nervous, the captain is actually good!" And it's not boring to stay on the boat, there are all kinds of lively ...... every day"

She was embarrassed to say that she was also one of the biggest "buzzers" on the ship......

Everyone was happy at the scene, only Helena was watching this scene with a complicated expression.

She couldn't help but think of the warriors who had come to the ark to receive her blessing not long ago, as the Sea Song was about to depart, and of the positive, determined, and convicted faces.

She still had a hard time believing that the warriors had disappeared in the long run—that even the only ones who had returned to this world had become like this.

"It's time for us to leave," the Pope sighed softly, "we've been here for too long—there's still a lot of work waiting for me and Frem on the Church side. ”

Duncan glanced up at the mechanical clock on the wall across the living room and saw that the day was over.

"Then I won't send it," he said casually, "I have some things to arrange." ”

Helena nodded, and after saying goodbye to the others, she and Frem turned and walked to the door—but just as she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped and looked back at Duncan.

After a moment's hesitation, she said, "The Deep-Sea Church's border rally point is on the southeastern border, near the sea where you last joined the Tide. ”

"Got it," Duncan nodded slightly, "I'll contact you before I go." ”

The two popes departed, and moments later, two cars drove out the window into the distant night.

The living room was quiet for a while, and Shirley was the first to stretch out: "Yawn...... I'm sleepy, I'll go back to sleep first! ”

Vanna and Maurice followed him out of the living room.

"There are still quite a few empty rooms here," Lucrecia, as the hostess here, began to arrange the accommodation of the 'new member' at this moment, she glanced at the dried corpse in front of her, "Do you have any requirements for the room?" floors or ventilation. ”

"No, no," the dry corpse suddenly waved his hand again and again, looking quite nervous, "Just find me a place to stay, I won't sleep anyway......"

His gaze suddenly fell on the railing of the staircase not far away.

"Hey, this railing is good, you give me a rope, I'll hang it here, the front is still facing the sun, just in the morning can bask in the sun...... Oh, and there hasn't been a sun ...... lately."

"Are you sure?" Duncan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "I remind you that Nina gets up the earliest every day, and that girl is easily confused when she gets up, and she will look up from the stairs in a daze and see you hanging on the railing, it will not be a simple startle - you will actually see the sun." ”

"You have to stay in the room!" Lucrecia was immediately anxious when she heard this, and immediately said to the dry corpse, "Don't really scare Nina - my house will be gone by then." ”

Nina muttered behind Duncan, "Actually, I'm pretty good at controlling it now......"

The "sailor" blinked, listened to the words of Captain Duncan and Miss Witch, and looked at the "Sun Fragment" muttering beside him with a look of grievance, and suddenly felt ...... The atmosphere here seems to be different from what I imagined.

Not bad.

He tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a somewhat intimidating smile.

"Okay, I'll listen to your arrangement."

(Happy New Year, everyone!) ）
