With Ed's death, a major obstacle to Tonight's operation disappeared, but in the center of the huge pollution source, Eve faced something even more terrifying.
Weird darkness filled everything within sight. There was no light at all inside this weird lighthouse. The door behind it was trembling. It was thousands of demons, hungry for blood and flesh, trying to break through this last line of defense.
.
Apart from that, the only sound left was the rapid heartbeats of Eve and Kestrel. The two looked at each other for a moment in the darkness. They both knew that there was no way to defend this place. Once the gate was breached, they had no defense at all.
ability.
At this moment, it seems that there is only one way left, which is to step into the weird darkness and push forward in the desperate situation. Rather than dying in the hands of these monsters, it is better to try to destroy the mysterious source of pollution and see clearly.
All the truth.
The thermite rifle lit up in the dark night. There was a little light, and the two of them walked along the wall in tacit understanding without even needing to say too many words, and soon came into contact with the stairs that spiraled up along the wall.
The demon knocked on the door, urging the two of them to move forward. Without too much hesitation, Eve and Kestrel ran all the way, and then finally saw the light after the darkness.
It was a moment of trance. When Eve came back to her senses, the strong sea breeze blew on her cheeks, countless raindrops flowed over her face, and the cold wind rustled.
The ground beneath our feet was shaking constantly, and as huge thunder ripped across the night sky, white sails controlled the strong wind.
This is a ship, a big ship sailing in a storm.
Eve suddenly felt a strange sense of confusion. She was running wildly in the lighthouse just now, but why was she here now?
All of this was unexplainable, and he cast his gaze forward. The tall man held the rudder tightly, facing the strong wind and rain without any fear, and walked against the tide.
She and the weird captain seemed to be the only ones on the ship. Although she didn't know what was going on, Eve still clenched the gun in her hand and moved forward slowly.
"Hello, beautiful guest."
It seemed that Eve had been aware of Eve's arrival. Just as Eve approached the captain, the captain turned his head, with a pair of shining eyes under his wet hair.
"This is where?"
Although Eve has not been exposed to this weird monster for a long time, it is obvious that this girl has adapted to this rhythm. There is a high probability that all this is a ghost hallucination, just like what she saw in the underground palace. As she gets closer to the source of pollution,
Eve was also swallowed by dreams at this last moment.
She is aware of this phenomenon, but she cannot find a way to leave.
"This is the Silver Fish, and I am the captain of this ship."
The captain had a smile on his face, but Eve on the opposite side was already feeling agitated in her heart.
Wall's death was the first case she took over. Even though it was messed up because of Lorenzo's interference, Eve still found many clues in the subsequent investigation, such as the fact that Wall came from a ship named Silver Fish.
fishing boat.
But something is still wrong. The Silver Fish is a steamship, a mechanical creation covered with rivets and iron armor, but now I am on an old fishing boat. There is no indestructible steel, it is made of countless wooden boards.
The hull of the ship rose, and the roar of the steam engine no longer existed. Only the huge sails were raised, making a roaring sound under the drag of the storm.
This was a strange dream, and Eve remained silent until another man intervened.
"What's wrong Captain?"
The man came from behind the boat and looked at Eve who suddenly appeared. He was holding the harpoon and looked nervous.
"It's nothing Wall, go back to your post, it's just a visit from a friend."
The captain said casually, but it sounded like thunder to Eve's ears. She stepped aside to ensure that the captain was within her shooting range, and at the same time glanced behind her.
That was Wall. Although the corpse in the morgue was completely unrecognizable, Eve could still find some familiarity in the man in front of her.
This inexplicable abnormality became more and more profound, and Eve felt uneasy like never before.
"Don't be afraid, I don't mean any harm."
The captain tried to comfort Eve, but Eve obviously didn't believe him, and pointed the gun directly at him. The captain waved for Wall to leave, so the long-dead man left stiffly like a machine, and there was another scene in his field of vision.
Only Eve and him were left.
"Where... exactly is this place?"
Even though she knew that the gun in her hand might not be able to harm the man in front of her, Eve still held on tightly. It was the only thing that could bring her a sense of security.
"Silverbait, we are now sailing towards a new era."
The captain said, turning his back to Eve, and manipulated the steering wheel again, not flinching in the face of the wind and rain. The cold rain hit his resolute face, and he stood there like a sculpture.
"You know? I actually hate the New Age. When I was a kid, steam engines only existed in distant rumors. I didn't even know what that thing was."
The captain's face was full of nostalgia, veins popped out on his arms, and he clung to the steering wheel tightly. No matter how strong the wind and rain were, he couldn't shake it at all.
"At that time, the Vikings believed in the god Odin. We drove pirate ships across the northern seas and plundered wealth with fire and axes. In your eyes, we were heinous pirates. But under the Viking concept at the time, we
Every voyage we make is to prove our bravery to God Odin in exchange for a place in the Hall of Valor."
Eve felt a little strange. The captain looked at the heavy rain ahead, and the rising and falling sea outlined a ferocious appearance under the pale thunder.
He seemed to be really just sailing the boat and chatting with Eve afterwards.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Eve asked warily, she wouldn't be surprised at all if the captain turned into a demon and came to kill her, but now this guy started chatting, which made Eve feel even more uneasy.
"I just want to say something. If some stories are not told to young people, they will be forgotten along with my old body, right?"
The captain continued.
"Later, when I grew up, I thought I would go on the journey of my father's generation and become a pirate or something. But when I grew up, the stories of my childhood had faded. Steam engines and firearms conquered everything. The so-called battle ax and
Before the advancement of technology, glory was just a decaying old thing."
"I thought I still had a chance to raise my sails and ride on the sea, but when I came to the port, there were steamships parked everywhere, and the last sailboat had been dismantled and thrown into the stove to add warmth to the cold winter.
