Chapter 8 The Sun

A doll, a lifelike figure that Duncan almost couldn't tell at first glance - she was lying quietly in the gorgeous wooden box, like a lady sleeping in the coffin, waiting for someone to wake her up.

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

But this was just an illusion, the doll was just lying quietly in the box, without responding to the surrounding environment.

Duncan observed this strange... "Things" vigilantly and cautiously: A doll itself is nothing strange, but the other party's appearance that was too close to the real person and the wooden box like a coffin made him instinctively feel a danger. When he thought of the process of the box appearing on the Lost Country inexplicably, he was no wonder that he was alert.

After observing for a long time, Duncan finally made sure that the gorgeous Goth doll in the box would not suddenly jump up and surprise him. Then he let out a little relief. Then he frowned and asked the goat head: "What do you think this is the case?"

"This should be an important cargo escorted by the ship before," Goat Head replied immediately. Although it had previously stated that it did not know the strange wooden box that suddenly appeared on the deck, its experience in sea affairs was obviously more abundant than Duncan, the fake captain. "The wooden box had a symbol pointing to the gods on the outside, and there were pins for fixing the chains around the box, which might indicate that it had been in a sealed state - transporting seals on the boundless sea was a very risky thing, and the ship seemed to have some background."

"Seal?" Duncan's eyelids jumped subconsciously, and then he looked at the box cover that had been completely opened by himself. When he arrived at the Lost Country, the cover was broken, so he could easily push it. Although he didn't know anything about seals or something, he believed that the seal of this thing had definitely expired, "So this thing is a dangerous thing?"

"It's dangerous to those vulnerable ordinary people, but I don't think it's a threat to you - this 'abnormal' that can be sealed with special skills cannot resist Captain Duncan's power."

Duncan remained silent, with a serious expression, but his thoughts fluctuated.

The compliment of the goat head sounds quite useful - if he was really "Captain Duncan", he might have believed it, but he was not, so he was panicked now.

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

Although he is now under the name of Captain Duncan, and even seems to have occupied the other party's body and mastered some power, "Zhou Ming" is quite self-aware - he does not think that this can make himself like the "real Captain Duncan".

He still knows too little about the world, the ship, and even his current body.

In addition, he also noticed a new strange word in the words of the Goat Head just now - "abnormal".

Unconforming to the norm is abnormal. This sounds like a very ordinary word, but the special emphasis in Goat's words made him vaguely 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 specifically to a certain type of thing? For example... a doll lying in a coffin.

Unfortunately, he had no suitable reason to ask about this kind of thing that should be "common sense" here.

After feeling a little emotional, he still needed to carefully collect information and accumulate knowledge, Duncan frowned and looked at the doll at the end, as if he had made up some determination: "I should throw it back into the sea."

He felt a little hesitant when he said this, especially when he was looking at the doll, this hesitation was particularly obvious.

Of course, this is not because of the simple reason as "this doll is beautiful", but because... "She" is really like a living person sleeping in a coffin. When she thought of throwing her back into the sea, Duncan even felt that she was throwing a living person off the boat.

But this hesitation ultimately strengthened his determination.

Because he had known that there were many strange and bizarre things in this world - although so far he had only contacted the Lost Land, even on this ship, he had already seen the talking goat head, the mast that could set sail on his own, the never-ending ship lamp, the strange and dangerous sea, the lingering spiritual world and the endless sea fog...

Just now, he bumped into a mechanical ship carrying seals on this strange sea, and the things "escorted" by the ship strangely landed on the deck of the Lost Country.

As a rational and cautious person, he cannot leave such a thing that is most likely to contain strange and dangerous power by his side just because the doll looks beautiful.

Regrettably, Duncan finally firmly covered the lid of the "coffin". Because he was worried, he found the nails and hammers from the cabin and seriously put a circle of iron nails on the coffin.

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

The sound of the goat's head came to my ears: "You can dispose of your spoils at will, but I will still make a suggestion respectfully and humbly. You don't need to be so cautious. It has been a long time since the Lost Country has added spoils..."

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

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

The heavy wooden box fell straight down at the edge of the deck, falling straight into the sea that had returned to normal color. After making a dull sound, it floated up from the water and gradually drifted towards the stern of the Thunderbolt ship.

Duncan watched the box float away with the waves until it was completely blocked by the stern of the boat. Then he looked up and looked into the distance, seeing that the mist on the sea had completely dissipated and the blue sea was slowly rising and falling around the Lost Country.

This ship has completely separated from the "spiritual world" and has returned to the real dimension.

On the nearby sea, there was no trace of the mechanical ship that had briefly met with the Lost Country.

Duncan frowned slightly and briefly estimated the time elapsed after the two ships converged and the speed of the two ships.

According to the current situation on the sea, the ship should not have disappeared from the visual distance so quickly.

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

Duncan muttered, but soon his attention was attracted by something else—

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

The bright golden sunlight gradually filled, as if the thick curtains of clouds were gradually dissipated as if they were brushed away by an invisible hand. The gloomy sea surface was gradually illuminated by the sun. Duncan stood at the bow of the Lost Country boat, staring at the dissipation of the clouds. At this moment, he suddenly felt an inexplicable touch.

Since he learned about the existence of "this side" many days ago, since he first explored this strange ship, the endless clouds have always enveloped the entire ocean, so that he almost thought that there was no sunshine in this world at all, and that this world is always covered with clouds.

He had been away from the sun for too long. Even opposite the "door", in Zhou Ming's single apartment, the thick mist outside the window had already blocked the sun.

But now, the vast sea is clear.

After a long time away from the sunshine, he finally felt like he had seen the light of day again in the world on "this side".

Duncan subconsciously took a deep breath and opened his hands in the direction of the sunlight. The thick clouds quickly dissipated and faded as if they were echoing. At the most dazzling moment of the skylight, the huge sphere shrouded by countless twisted golden light flows reflected in Duncan's eyes.

All Duncan's expressions were frozen in the moment when he opened his hands to welcome the sun.

He stared at the sky, and the sun was dazzling, but not as dazzling as he was familiar with. He could clearly see the thing hanging in the sky, see its sphere shell that seemed to have countless dense patterns, see the brilliant light flow around it, and the two circle structures that were slowly moving in a concentric circle centered on the background of the interweaving of light flows.

Duncan narrowed his eyes, and he vaguely realized that the two rings seemed to be connected by countless delicate and complex runes, as if some supreme power had engraved eternal bonds in the sky, imprisoning the "sun" in the sky.

Duncan failed to embrace the sunshine he had been looking forward to for a long time.

There is no sunshine in this world.

"What is that?" he said softly, his voice so low that it was a little cold.

"Of course it's the sun, Captain." The voice of the goat head was calm as always.
