Miss Doll raised her head, looked at the dark oak door in front of her, and noticed a line of words written in beautiful cursive letters on the door frame: Gate of the Homeless.
It was certainly not surprising that such a line of words appeared on the door frame of the captain's cabin of the Lost Home, but Alice still subconsciously frowned - she was not curious about this door, but why she knew "words".
She has no memory of learning words. In fact, she has no memory of "learning", nor can she remember where she has accumulated experience in activities outside and talking with people. However, this knowledge naturally exists in her mind.
She can understand the letters on the door frame of the captain's cabin, and she can also understand the purpose of various furnishings in the room, and it is impossible to learn these things just by lying in a wooden box and listening to people talking outside - then
Where does this knowledge come from?
Before today, Alice had never considered this issue, but for some reason, after talking to that "Captain Duncan", the concept of "curiosity" suddenly appeared in the puppet's mind that should always be running calmly.
She recalled carefully, and the change seemed to have occurred after Duncan asked about the origin of the name "Alice"... At that moment, she questioned some of the things that were taken for granted in her mind, and began to try to recall her own name.
The origin of this, and then, something in my mind became loose.
Alice didn't know whether this looseness was good or bad, but she didn't like this feeling of confusion, so she quickly shook her head, put aside the doubts in her heart, and adjusted her mentality at the door of the captain's cabin.
Then he put his hand on the handle of the oak door and pushed it forward slightly.
The door didn't move at all.
Alice was startled for a moment, then tried to push it again, but she felt that the wooden door was unshakable, as if the whole door was made of steel.
Then, when she wanted to try again, a voice suddenly came from the captain's cabin - the voice was hoarse and low, as if coming from a piece of rotten wood: "Open the door outward, ma'am."
This was not Captain Duncan's voice. Alice was startled, but she quickly reacted and hurriedly said "Oh" before opening the door outwards - this time, the door opened very lightly.
It was only then that she recalled that the captain seemed to have opened the door outward when he brought her here.
It seems that the "life knowledge" that appeared out of thin air in her mind is just knowledge after all. She still lacks real survival experience after sleeping in a wooden box all year round. After Alice reflected for a moment, she cautiously poked her head and looked into the captain's room.
.
There is no one in the captain's cabin. The eye-catching navigation table is quietly under the light. The surface of the chart on the table is covered with thin haze, and the dark wooden goat head is turning his eyes from the edge of the table. A pair of obsidian
The carved eyes stared blankly at himself.
"Please come in, madam, the captain is busy, you can wait for him here for a while," the goat head said, more politely than Alice imagined, "Also, try to avoid poking your head like this, it will make you feel lost.
Some of the overly neurotic guys in the village feel that they are disliked, and it will be very troublesome to appease them - and it will be a problem if your head falls off again. I don’t have hands, so I can’t help you pick it up..."
Really speaking! This wood sculpture is really speaking! New
Although Captain Duncan had said before that the goat head on the navigation table could talk, Alice was stunned when she suddenly heard a wooden sculpture talking so many things to her. She took a moment to react before replying consciously: "Ah, okay.
Yes, but my head is actually not that easy to fall off, and when I installed it last time, I specially... Wait, you said that there are some sensitive people on the Lost Home... Are there still..."
Alice belatedly realized the information revealed in the goat-headed words. She immediately looked around with surprise and nervousness. At this moment, she seemed to feel that everything in the captain's cabin and even the entire Lost Home was
They all swayed in the darkness and turned into a "weird thing" like the weird goat head, and the goat head's voice immediately reached her ears: "Is this weird? To make a ship as big as this
Running a ship requires a lot of manpower, do you think the great Captain Duncan would wash the deck himself?"
What the goat head said actually made sense. Although Alice's newly awakened mind felt that there was something wrong with this matter, she could only nod her head after thinking for a long time: "That's right...so...
There are many like you on the Lost Home..."
"The captain only has one loyal lieutenant, and the rest are a group of guys who are not very bright. You don't have to think about communicating with them - they have no interest in communicating with others," Goat Head interrupted before Alice could finish.
asked her, "But considering that you are a newcomer on the ship, it is normal that you do not understand many principles and rules. As Captain Duncan's most loyal first mate and second mate and..., I need to tell you some things about surviving on this ship.
Common sense that you must know, after all, the captain will not condescend to explain such things to newcomers... Madam, are you ready?"
Alice listened in a daze. She had forgotten the original purpose of coming to the captain's cabin. She only felt that every time the goat-head in front of her opened his mouth, there was a long string of chatter. After three or two openings, the rhythm of the conversation had completely stopped.
She was no longer on her side, especially when the other party suddenly popped up a bunch of titles. She felt that her whole head was buzzing. When the other party finished speaking, she could only nod subconsciously: "Ah, ah, okay.
……OK?"
"Very good, then here are a few rules that the crew of the Lost Home must know. This will help the newcomers adapt to the environment faster and fully accept the blessings from the Lost Home and the great Captain Duncan on the dangerous boundless sea...
…”
The goat-head was obviously very satisfied with Alice's answer. He shook his wooden head as he spoke, with obvious pride in his tone——
"First, Captain Duncan is the absolute master of the Lost Home. Captain Duncan is always right. Even if reality conflicts with Captain Duncan's words, Captain Duncan's judgment must prevail.
"Secondly, any crew member can only move in areas permitted by Captain Duncan. Areas that Captain Duncan has not ordered to be open are absolutely not allowed to step into, because those areas do not exist.
"Third, if you step into an unauthorized area and you are lucky enough to survive temporarily, you must stay where you are and wait for Captain Duncan to take you back, or wait for death in peace - you are absolutely not allowed to return without permission, because you are returning
It's not the Lost Home Number.
"Fourth, the Lost Home will always sail on the correct channel. Don't question the captain's sailing plan. If you find that the scenery around the Lost Home is different from what you expected, or you find that the Lost Home has fallen deeper into
waters, then this is part of the normal sailing plan.
"Fifth, the captain will occasionally leave the ship, but he will definitely return. During the captain's absence, the Lost Home will continue to sail normally, but all crew members are not allowed to approach the bridge at the stern - the rudder system will be lacking when the captain leaves.
To ensure a sense of security, the cable at the stern will hang any daredevil who shows signs of 'usurping the throne'.
“Sixth, on the Lost Home, there are only six basic rules for crew members.
"Seventh, the door to the captain's cabin opens outward."
Goat Head seemed to have imparted "common sense" to the new crew more than once. He spoke these rules very smoothly and naturally, but Alice immediately noticed something was wrong when she heard the last two words: "Wait, Goat Head
Sir, you just said in Article 6..."
"Sixth, on the Lost Home, there are only six basic rules for crew members." Goathead answered immediately. When mentioning these basic rules, he did not hesitate.
For a moment, Alice doubted whether something was wrong with herself or with the "first officer" in front of her: "But you mentioned Article 7 just now..."
"Seventh, the door of the captain's cabin opens outward." The goat head answered very naturally.
Alice stared blankly at the black goat-headed wooden carving on the table. After doubting her ears, she began to doubt her own brain - but soon she realized that she had no brain, so she confirmed again: "This
Aren’t the two items contradictory?”
"No contradiction."
Listening to the goat-head's confident answer and looking at the other person's empty and dark eyes, Alice opened her mouth, but suddenly swallowed back all her questions.
(Oh my god!)
