Chapter 12 The Ghost Captain and the Cursed Doll
On both sides of the wide sailing table, Duncan, the captain of the Lost Country, sat facing the cursed doll Alice.
The atmosphere between the two (although neither of them may be human) is not harmonious.
The doll lady who claims to be "Alice" still looks a little nervous. Although the ghost captain in front of her has promised her temporary safety, even the cursed doll is obvious in front of Duncan's face that is born with a 10-year-old face.
Can't calm down.
She was sitting on the lid of her coffin with a dignified manner at this moment, but her fingers that were quietly pinching each other and holding the edge of her skirt exposed her uneasiness.
Duncan was temporarily silent, observing the... "Lady" in front of him while thinking.
A doll driven by unknown power, a "supernatural individual" who is obviously not a flesh-and-blood body, but can say that it can walk or even have a certain body temperature. If this is placed in his hometown, it is necessary to approach science-and
At least three and a half episodes can be played.
Duncan didn't know what kind of existence a doll like Alice belonged to in this world, but during the past few days he also learned some information indirectly. He knew that despite the existence of "extraordinary visions" in this world
, but all kinds of extraordinary things are not ordinary things, and the doll lady in front of her...
Duncan guessed that she should be of some kind of special existence even in this strange world.
His speculation was not aimless—the mechanical powered ship that collided with the Lost Land was new and had a well-trained crew of seamen, whom he had seen with his own eyes, despite being in great fear,
Many sailors on the ship also stick to their respective posts, and there are a large number of cabins and items inside the ship that cannot be understood. Many of them are depicted with complex rune marks, and the style of those marks is similar to Alice.
The symbols on the surface of the "coffin" are very similar...
In other words, the purpose of such a new ship is most likely to be to escort... or to "escort" Alice, the cursed doll.
Duncan adjusted his posture on the seat and stared at Alice with a comfortable but serious look. There was no doubt that there was an extraordinary "guest" on his boat.
But from another perspective, this doll lady doesn't seem to be a terrible character, she seems to be quite brave.
After all, as soon as she met, she hadn't said anything, and her head was scared.
"May I ask..." Perhaps because Duncan's long silence and gaze brought too much pressure, Alice finally couldn't help but speak, "And..."
"Where did you come from?" Duncan finally withdrew his stressful gaze and asked in a relatively calm tone.
Alice was obviously stunned for a moment, as if she was reflecting the meaning of Duncan's question. It took a few seconds before she gently tapped the gorgeous wooden box under her body with her fingers: "From here."
Duncan's expression was a little stiff in an instant: "..."
"Of course I know you were lying in this box before," he coughed twice, "but I asked where you came from - the location, do you understand? Do you have a hometown? Or somehow it can be called
What's from the starting point?"
Alice thought about it carefully again and shook her head calmly: "I can't remember it."
"Can't remember it?"
"Where dolls come from their hometown?" Alice replied dignifiedly and seriously, "Most of my memories are lying in the box, I am lying here, being from the same place.
Shipping to another place, occasionally vaguely feeling someone walking or guarding outside the box... Ah, I still remember some low-pitched conversations, those guarding outside my wooden box, they were nervous with fear and tension
Talk about something in a tone…”
Duncan raised his eyebrows: "Talk about something? What are they talking about around you?"
"It's just some boring trivial matters."
"But I became curious." Duncan said seriously-he believed that those might be really just boring trivial matters, but now he really needs to do everything possible to understand the world, even the noisy chat content of ordinary people in this world
OK.
"...Well, the most common thing I hear is a name, abnormal 099--they seem to use this to refer to me and my wooden box, but I don't like it very much, I have a name," Alice recalled as she recalled.
He said, "In addition, I occasionally heard them talking about seals and curses, but most of them had blurred memories. I would sleep when I was in the box and didn't listen to the movements outside very seriously."
The doll said slowly, then seemed to suddenly remember something, and added: "But I still remember what I heard recently, that should be before I came to your boat, those diplomats in wooden boxes
The voices of talk frequently mention a place, Plander City State, which seems to be their destination...it should also be mine?"
"Plander City?" Duncan's eyes were introverted and he silently recorded the name in his heart.
He finally learned something useful, although he didn't know when this useful information would come in handy.
Then he raised his head and looked at the doll lady in front of him again: "What else?"
"Apart from that, I just sleep most of the time, Captain," said the doll lady seriously, "When you are blocked in a large coffin-like box, there is still a lot of groggy around you.
When the whispering of his ears penetrated his ears, what else can he do without sleeping? Are you sitting ups in the coffin?"
Duncan twitched.
He is a graceful beauty when he is not decent and his head doesn't fall off. But in fact, he not only rides the wind and waves on the coffin board, but also suddenly jumps out trash words that choke people to death.
He quickly built a new image of Miss Alice in his heart.
But he still maintained the image of Captain Duncan on the surface, but he nodded and then spoke: "So, except for being drowsy in the wooden box, you know nothing about the outside world at all, except for being drowsy in the wooden box.
, You can neither tell me the changes in the world today nor where any port or city-state is."
"I'm afraid this is the case, Captain," the doll lady nodded seriously, then she opened her eyes slightly as if she suddenly reacted, staring at Duncan nervously, "So...you are planning to throw me off the boat again.
? Because I have no value anymore?"
Before Duncan could speak, he heard Alice say again: "Okay, I understand, this is your ship after all, but can you stop stuffing shells into the box this time? Seriously... Eight shells
A little bit too much…”
It can be seen that the doll lady was not in a good mood - but she didn't dare to make an attack.
Duncan was also embarrassed. He was mainly embarrassed that he had not considered the situation when he stuffed shells into the box. After that, he had to discuss the matter calmly with the parties involved. At that time, he only regarded Alice lying in the box as a standard horror.
The cursed doll in the film, the pictures that appear in his mind are all moving towards this style... He never thought that this cursed doll did not come out of the curse, but was tm from the courtyard?
So the preparations made in the early stage to fight the terror curse have now become embarrassing.
But Duncan is very good because his face is thick, and his majestic and gloomy face is carved on his face like a knife and axe chop. As long as the peripheral nerves are not short-circuited, he can still hold it back, so he forcibly ignored the eight shell belts
The embarrassment came, just Yun Danfeng shook his head lightly: "I haven't decided whether to throw you off the boat. After all, you always seem to have a way to return to the boat. I'm just a little curious, why do you have to go back again and again
Back to the Lost Country? You can see that you are actually very afraid of me and this ship - since that's the case, why not stay away from this danger?"
"Is this ship called the Hunting? Well, I am indeed a little... afraid of you and your ship, but isn't the depths of the sea more dangerous than this?" The doll lady quietly stared at the ghost in front of her.
Captain, in her vision, behind this tall man was an endless darkness and nothingness. The darkness overlapped with the real scene in the cabin, as if two worlds were forcibly superimposed, but it was so huge that
The suffocating shadow of nothingness, the things that come from the "deeper" of the vast sea make her feel more dangerous as an abnormal 099. "Is there anything more terrifying than the deep sea in this world?"
(My Mom!)
