A doll, a doll so delicate and lifelike that Duncan almost couldn't distinguish it at first glance - she lay quietly in the ornate wooden box, like a lady sleeping in a coffin, Waiting for someone to wake it up.

Duncan really felt that the other party would wake up in the next second.

But this is just an illusion, the puppet is just lying quietly in the box, not responding to the surrounding environment.

Duncan watched this strange... "thing" vigilantly and cautiously: a puppet itself was nothing strange, but the appearance of the other person was too close to the real person and the coffin-like wooden box made him instinctively feel a kind of danger. , and thinking about the process of this box appearing on the Lost Homes inexplicably, no wonder he was vigilant.

After observing for a long time, Duncan finally made sure that this gorgeous Gothic doll in the box would not suddenly jump up to surprise himself, which was a little relieved, and then he frowned and asked the goat head: "Do you think this is what's the situation?"

"This should be the important cargo escorted by the previous ship," Goat's Head replied immediately. Although it had previously stated that it did not recognize the strange wooden box that suddenly appeared on the deck, its experience in matters at sea was obviously better than that of Duncan. This fake captain is rich, "The wooden box has symbols pointing to the gods on the outside, and there are pins around the box for fixing the chain, which may indicate that it was in some kind of sealed state - it is a very risky thing to transport sealed things on the boundless sea. , that ship seems to have some background."

"Seal?" Duncan's eyelids jumped subconsciously, and then he looked at the lid of the box that had been completely opened by him. When he came to the Homeless, the lid was broken, so he could easily push it by himself, even though He doesn't understand anything like a seal, but he believes that the seal on this thing has definitely expired, "So this thing is dangerous?"

"It is very dangerous for those vulnerable ordinary people, but I don't think it will pose any threat to you - this kind of 'abnormal' that can be sealed by special skills, cannot resist the power of Captain Duncan."

Duncan was silent, his expression serious, but his thoughts were heaving.

Goathead's compliment sounded like a good one—if he was really "Captain Duncan" he might have believed it, but he wasn't, so he was flustered now.

Because the words of the goat head have made it clear that the doll lying in the coffin is a "dangerous item"! It's just that it can't threaten the real captain!

Although he has the name of Captain Duncan now, and even seems to have occupied the opponent's body and mastered some power, "Zhou Ming" is quite self-aware - he does not think that this will make him and that "real" Captain Duncan".

He didn't know much about the world, the ship, or even his current body.

In addition, he also keenly noticed that a new strange word - "abnormal" appeared in the words of the goat head.

Irregularity is abnormal. It sounds like a very common word, but the extra emphasis in the goat-headed words made him faintly realize that this word seems to have a special meaning here.

Perhaps, the word "abnormal" in this world refers not only to the meaning of "extraordinary", but also refers to a certain kind of thing? Like... a puppet lying in a coffin.

It's a pity that he has no good reason to ask about something that should be "common sense" here.

After sighing in his heart that he still needs to carefully collect intelligence and accumulate knowledge, Duncan frowned and gave the puppet one last look, as if he had made up a certain determination: "I should throw it back into the sea."

There was a hint of hesitation in his heart when he said this, especially when he looked at the puppet, this hesitation was especially obvious.

This is of course not for the simple reason of "this doll is beautiful", but because..."she" is really like a living person sleeping in a coffin. When he thought of throwing it back into the sea, Duncan even I felt like I was throwing a living person overboard.

But this hesitation finally strengthened his determination.

Because he has long known that there are many strange and bizarre things in this world - although he has only come into contact with the Lost Homes in this world so far, but even on this ship, he has already seen The talking goat head, the mast that sails by itself, the ship's lights that never go out, and the strange and dangerous sea, the spirit world and endless sea fog...

And just now, he also collided with a mechanical ship that was transporting sealed items on this strange sea, and the things that the ship "escorted" went to the deck of the Lost Country.

As a sensible and prudent person, he can't keep something that is very likely to contain strange and dangerous powers around because the doll looks beautiful.

Unfortunately, Duncan finally closed the lid of the "coffin" firmly. Because he was worried, he found a nail and a hammer from the cabin, and seriously put another ring of iron nails on the coffin.

Finally, he pushed the "coffin" with the doll to the edge of the deck.

The voice of the goat head came into my ears: "You can dispose of your spoils at will, but I will still make recommendations respectfully and humbly. You don't need to be so cautious. Homeless has not added spoils for a long time..."

"Shut up." Duncan simply cut off the balabala of the goat's head.

The goat head fell silent, while Duncan kicked the "coffin" hard and kicked it directly into the sea.

The heavy wooden box fell straight down on the edge of the deck, and fell directly into the sea that had returned to its normal color. After making a dull sound, it resurfaced from the water and gradually drifted towards the stern of the Homeless.

Duncan watched the box drift away until it was completely blocked by the stern, and then he looked up and looked into the distance, and saw that the fog on the sea had completely dissipated, and the blue sea was around the Lost Homes. Slowly ups and downs.

This ship has completely left the "spirit world" and returned to the real dimension.

On the nearby sea, there was no sign of the mechanical ship that had briefly met with the Homeless.

Duncan frowned slightly and briefly estimated the time elapsed after the two ships crossed and the respective speeds of the two ships.

Based on the current conditions at sea, that ship should not have disappeared from visual distance so quickly.

"...Is this also because of this strange sea? Or is it related to the so-called 'spiritual voyage'?"

Duncan groaned in his heart, but soon his attention was drawn to something else—

He saw a golden light suddenly appear in the depths of the dark clouds that had never dispersed above the sea.

The bright golden sunlight is gradually filling up, the clouds like a heavy veil are gradually dissipating as if being brushed away by an invisible hand, and the sea, which has been gloomy for some time, is gradually being illuminated by the sun - Duncan stands on the bow of the Homeless, his eyes wide open. Looking at the scenery where the clouds dissipated, at this moment, he suddenly felt an inexplicable touch.

Ever since he learned of the existence of "this side" many days ago, and since he first explored this strange ship, the cloud has always shrouded the whole ocean, so much so that he almost thinks that there is no sunlight in this world at all. I think the world is always cloudy.

He had been away from the sun for too long, even across from the "door", in Zhou Ming's bachelor apartment, the thick fog outside the window had already blocked the sun.

But now, the boundless sea is clear.

After being away from the sun for a long time, he finally had the feeling of seeing the light of the sun again in the world "on this side".

Duncan took a deep breath subconsciously, and opened his hands in the direction of the sunlight, and the thick cloud layer quickly dissipated and faded as if echoing. The shrouded huge sphere caught Duncan's eyes.

All of Duncan's expressions froze at the moment when he opened his hands to meet the sun.

He stared at the sky, the sun was very dazzling, but far from the dazzling eyes he was familiar with. He could clearly see the thing hanging in the sky, its spherical shell that seemed to have countless dense lines, You can see the splendid flow of light overflowing around it, and in the background of the interweaving of the light flow, the two ring structures that are distributed in concentric circles with the central sphere as the center are slowly running.

Duncan narrowed his eyes, and he vaguely discerned that the two rings seemed to be connected by countless intricate and complex runes, as if there was some kind of supreme power inscribed in the sky with eternal bondage. "I was imprisoned in the sky.

Duncan failed to embrace the sunshine he had longed for.

There is no sunshine in this world at all.

"What is that?" he said softly, his voice low and cold.

"Of course it's the sun, Captain." Goathead's voice was as calm as ever.
