This is an even more incredible scene than that absurd and weird dream!
Duncan stood at the door in shock for a long time before finally coming back to his senses. Then he directly pulled out the sword from his waist and walked forward slowly with full vigilance.
The goat's head was indeed gone. There were only charts and a few miscellaneous items on the familiar navigation table, and where the goat's head was originally placed, there was only an empty tabletop.
Duncan stared at the empty table for a few seconds, then slowly looked away, then raised his head and looked around.
More inconsistent scenes came into view.
All the furnishings are mottled and old, and the walls and columns are covered with cracks of varying depths from unknown time. There are a lot of things missing from the shelves next to them, and almost only the empty shelves are left. A decorative tapestry originally hung on one side.
There is now only a suspicious dark stain on the wall. Next to the stain is the window. The window is covered with dirt, and outside the window it is dark and chaotic. Only some suspicious glimmers can be seen passing quickly.
It was as if there were some very fast shadows that were flying through the air outside the window.
The entire chart room feels as if it has been abandoned for countless years. Time has destroyed most of the furnishings here, and some kind of rough force more dangerous than time has left traces on all the walls, roofs, and floors.
There were those dark stains of varying shades.
Duncan couldn't help but pinch his thigh again, trying to confirm again whether he was in a dream.
The clear feeling of pain and clear thinking reminded him at the same time that this was not a dream, but reality, a... reality that was very unfamiliar to him.
The feeling of setting foot on the Lost Home for the first time came over again, and the tension of being surrounded by endless weirdness made Duncan gradually frown.
But compared to the first time he set foot on the ship, it only took him a short time to adjust to his condition, and he completely calmed down after taking a few deep breaths.
After all, he has now had many bizarre experiences that he never thought of in the first half of his life. The experience accumulated in dealing with this strange world, as well as his mastery and confidence in his own power, have made him no longer the confused novice he was at the beginning.
The only thing he feels uneasy about now is that the worry that "the Homeless Ship is quite unstable and something will go wrong sooner or later" seems to be turning into reality.
Something happened to this ship.
Duncan walked around the room again, checking the empty shelves, looking at only the dirty walls and the corner where two wooden boxes were originally placed. Most of the things were gone, except for the navigation table.
Outside, it was almost an old, dilapidated, empty room.
But there is still one thing left in its original place - the oval mirror with a complicated patterned frame.
Duncan came to the mirror and took a cautious look inside.
There was no terrible scene. The mirror did not reflect a bloody hell, nor did it reflect a twisted and deformed face. It was just dirty, with dark stains all over the mirror, but in places with fewer stains.
, you can still see the reflection normally.
Duncan didn't stay in front of the mirror for too long. He returned to the navigation table and glanced at the chart.
The next second, his vision suddenly froze.
The sea chart has also changed!
The fog that originally covered the entire map almost completely disappeared. After the fog dissipated, what appeared on the parchment was a clear and complex track!
Duncan subconsciously moved closer, trying to identify what was on the chart, but he immediately realized something was wrong.
The charts are crisscrossed with tracks and intertwined routes, but there isn't a single meaningful mark or "place" in sight. It's more like a bunch of chaotic lines drawn unconsciously, recording a hazy sleepwalking.
Between those lines, there are no islands, no city-states... nothing.
He couldn't see Purend, he couldn't see Lensa, he couldn't see Cold Harbor and Qingfeng... Although he was indeed unfamiliar with most of the names of these city-states, at least he knew that these city-states existed.
And it should definitely appear on this map where the fog has cleared!
Duncan's brows furrowed more and more. After realizing that there was no landmark information for reference on the chart, he slowly straightened up, tilted his ears, and listened to the movement outside the window.
There was no movement outside the window, no sound of wind or waves, it was silent...just like his strange and short-lived dream.
The lines on the chart mark the trajectory of the Lost Home, and that trajectory will update on its own as the ship drifts. Then the fog has cleared, and the lines marked on the chart with criss-crossing trajectories... are... again
In which dimension is the voyage record of the Lost Home?
Duncan exhaled softly, and then as if he had made up his mind, he turned around and walked towards the captain's cabin door with his sword in hand - theoretically, outside the door was the deck of the Lost Home.
He held the doorknob, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open.
The Lost Home sailed in a dark chaos, and the decks and buildings on the ship were dilapidated and abandoned for a long time.
At least, the deck of the Lost Home is indeed outside the door.
Duncan stepped out of the door and stepped on the pitted and broken deck, which seemed to be on the verge of collapse. He heard a sharp creaking sound suddenly, breaking the suffocating silence.
Duncan cautiously stepped forward, and after confirming that the deck only looked dilapidated and that there was actually no worry of collapse, he walked a little bolder. Then he raised his head and confirmed the situation around the Homeless Ship.
What you see is a vast, desolate and boundless chaotic space, with dim shadows everywhere, and between those shadows, from time to time you can see dark and blurry light and shadow turbulence suddenly appearing, then gradually dissipating, and occasionally
See a strange flash or stream of light suddenly brighten up, like blind lightning illuminating the void in the distance. Then during that flash, you can vaguely see something huge floating in the void, as if
It is slowly rotating and creeping.
The moment he saw those dim lights and turbulent flashes of light, Duncan could only say "fuck" in his heart.
This scene... looks a bit familiar.
It's exactly the same as the scene on the bottom of the Homeless ship - it's subspace!
Duncan almost cursed, and twitched the corner of his mouth twice, thinking that this was really the thing he was most worried about would definitely happen. Not long ago, he was thinking that subspace was too evil and seemed to be calling him, so he had to find a way.
I avoided contact with him, but I didn't expect that as soon as I closed and opened my eyes, I would mention a subspace drift - why did I suddenly come here?!
But after the initial panic, he quickly calmed down and resisted the urge to turn around and return to the captain's cabin.
He is not yet sure whether this is a subspace, but he feels that it is similar to the scene outside the bottom of the Lost Home. If this is really a subspace... then there is no point in hiding back in the captain's cabin at this time.
significance.
In addition to this, he also quickly discovered that his condition was...suspicious.
He stood here, looking up at the (suspected) scenery of the subspace, but he did not feel any discomfort, nor did he feel that his spirit was being eroded, or hear any strange noises - according to the "common sense" of this world
... Human beings are said to have entered the subspace. Shouldn’t one look at the subspace make them go crazy on the spot?
But he didn't feel the slightest discomfort.
Not only did he not feel any discomfort, he could even clearly perceive his body in Pland, and the "imprints" left by Nina, Morris, Vanna, etc. in the real dimension.
Even if my "ghost captain" has some special qualities and some resistance to subspace, I shouldn't be like this in this place... Is he safe and sound?
Duncan was confused about his current state, and even began to doubt whether this place was the legendary "Abyss of the End of the World". Then he calmed down and walked towards the guardrail at the edge of the deck.
He came to the side of the ship and looked out.
As expected, there was no seawater beneath the Lost Home - the ship seemed to be floating in the universe, with the same nothingness in all directions.
He stood on the edge of the deck, looking at the huge hazy shadows in the distance and the turbulent flow of light and shadow that lit up from time to time, and carefully planned how to get out of this predicament next.
Firstly, it is to confirm whether this place is really a subspace, and secondly, it is to find and determine whether there is any connection between this place and the real dimension.
Since he can come here, it means that there must be a place to "reconnect" with the real world, but this place is not necessarily in the bedroom when he woke up - he has already checked the bedroom and chart room, and
No traces of "channels" were found.
After thinking for a moment, he had a rough idea, then turned around and left the side of the ship, heading towards the cabin entrance in the middle of the deck.
At this moment, Duncan suddenly noticed something out of the corner of his eye, which made him stop subconsciously.
He raised his head and looked in the direction he had just seen with his peripheral vision, and a slightly bright arc was slowly dissipating in the darkness in the distance. In the gradually weakening light, he could vaguely see what seemed to be a huge, lump-like thing.
It was slowly drifting over the Lost Home.
Duncan watched intently. At this moment, another "flash" happened to appear again, like a winding and long-lasting lightning. This flash of light crossed the sky and illuminated an extremely vast "sky" in the blink of an eye.
Duncan finally saw the outline of the behemoth - and his breath suddenly suffocated.
It was a piece of... land, or a black shadow that looked like fragments of land. Its scale was extremely huge, huge enough to cause a phobia of giants, and its irregular outline seemed to be directly affected by some huge force.
It was torn from the planet and then roughly thrown here.
On the earth that hangs upside down, you can even vaguely see mountains, rivers and some more suspicious and disturbing lines and outlines, but all of them have lost their color and vitality - there is only one piece of the entire "continent"
Monotonous gray and black, the river is also frozen in the ravines of the earth, which makes it seem like a crude model lacking color details, sealed in the amber of stagnant time and space.
This huge piece of celestial debris moved slowly over the Homeless Ship, showing Duncan a desolate and ancient image of the doomsday.
