Deep Sea Ember

Chapter 23 Bird

Alice doesn't know much about things in this world.

But at least, she had heard countless times in the wooden box the whispers mixed with fear and nervousness, from the mouths of the crew and guards who were particularly nervous because they were responsible for escorting the anomalyEstablish the most basic understanding of certain "extraordinary things".

If something is obviously unreasonable, but it actually exists, then first follow the existing safety rules and consider research and analysis while maintaining a safe distance, which is the way to survive.

Alice didn't really feel anything about the fact that she was an "abnormal 099", and she didn't know what she could do, or what she had done, to make humans so afraid and wary of herself, she didn't know how to think as an "abnormal" with a spiritual mind - at this moment, she was just thinking like a human.

Since the goat head said that there are only six crew rules, then there are six, and since the goat head mentioned the seventh rule, then remember this seventh rule.

But she still had some questions and couldn't help but want to ask: "Just now I tried to push the door of the captain's room, and it was indeed open to the outside - such a matter of course, why should it be emphasized in the rules?

The

wooden goat's head stared into Alice's eyes quietly, and after two full seconds, he spoke in an unprecedented concise and concise manner: "Sometimes, it can open inward."

"Then ......"

"If you see the door open inward, never go in, only the captain is qualified to do this on the entire Lost Home."

This was the first time since just now that Goat Head spoke in such a serious, even somewhat intimidating tone, even when he introduced the crew code just now, he had never been so serious.

Alice was startled by the other party's particularly solemn tone.

But then, the goat's tone became brisk again, and he spoke happily as if the serious topic had never happened: "Okay, the necessary introduction process for new crew members to join the team has been completed, now let's talk about something else...... Ah, by the way, ma'am, what is the matter with you coming to the captain's room? If the facilities on the ship don't work, then there is no need to trouble the great Captain Duncan, if you want to talk to someone, then you are right, I am very good at finding topics and know countless great deeds about this ship...... Are you not interested in great deeds? Then I can introduce you to the most famous dishes on the boundless sea, I still have a slight understanding of cooking skills...... "

The

goat entered the state as soon as she opened her mouth, and Alice tried to interrupt several times but couldn't find a chance, and by the time she realized that something was wrong, it was too late.

Abnormal 099, the doll Miss Alice, faced the second biggest horror on the Lost Home today after Captain Duncan.

At the same time, in the dormitory that was only separated from them by a wall, Duncan was quietly listening to the movement coming from the chart room.

He had just woken up, his soul had returned to the Lost Home from a distant body, and he hadn't heard Goathead's first conversation with Alice, but he had heard the few "crew rules" and the conversation about "the captain's room door opening outward."

Important intelligence, unexpected gains.

Before Duncan could digest the information he had just gathered from the cultists, he accidentally overheard the conversation between Goathead and Alice, and whether it was the strange and weird "crew code" or the information revealed in Goathead's words at the end, it was extremely important to him.

Sure enough, when he pushed the door of the captain's cabin inward and returned to the "opposite side", Goathead knew that for him, this move was to return to his bachelor apartment, but for the lost home, it seemed to mean that "the captain has temporarily left".

Goathead had no doubts about it, and saw it as a move that Captain Duncan would have been.

So...... The original "real Captain Duncan" of this ship would also push open the door of the captain's room and go to some mysterious "world"? And this kind of thing happened more than once, so much so that it not only became a matter of course in the eyes of the goathead, but even became part of the crew code of the Lost Home?

This news is good for Duncan, which means that he doesn't have to worry too much when he returns to the "other side" later, even if other new crew members are added to the ship, he can use this method to disappear from everyone's eyes openly, and he doesn't have to worry about someone following him and discovering his "secret".

But on the other hand, Duncan also had an inevitable thought in his heart - this is related to the "6+1" crew code deliberately mentioned by Goathead.

What do these crew codes really mean? What are these grotesque-sounding, dangerous, and even contradictory codes based on? Some of its entries sound like they are meant to emphasize the captain's authority, but the reality is clearly more than that, the strict restrictions on conduct are more like a way to allow the people on board to survive in a dangerous environment, so that the crew can avoid invisible dangers through certain established rules.

Duncan frowned slightly, he was thinking about his true place in these codes - judging from the content of the code, he seemed to be the only individual who occupied the greatest freedom and initiative, and he didn't have to worry about the "invisible risks" on board, and even he himself was the arbiter of many risk ranges, but ...... The premise of all this is that he must be the "real Captain Duncan".

This is the most worrying part.

But he suddenly remembered his exploration actions on the Lost Homeland during this time, and the fact that he was walking around freely in the cabin.

Goat Head never reminded himself of the crew rules, he saw himself as the real Captain Duncan, he had not encountered any "strange dangers" when he was on board, and there was no way that a second "captain" would jump out and specify any restrictions on his activities.

From this point of view, the dangers mentioned by Goathead in the "Crew Code" seem to be unconcerned to him.

Duncan exhaled softly, and he continued to listen to the movement coming from the chart room.

Half a minute later, he hated himself for not being able to turn off his ears.

The trash talk doll and the noisy goathead began to communicate, the latter obviously had an overwhelming advantage, and the crackling nonsense surged in the chart room like the wind and waves on the boundless sea, and even Duncan, who was hiding in the dormitory and secretly observing, couldn't bear it.

He felt that he had to hurry up and save the poor doll lady, Alice, who lacked social experience, was obviously no match for the goathead, but after a slight hesitation, Duncan stopped.

He had just finished a wonderful "soul journey", there was still a lot of information to sort out, and more experience to summarize, he had to figure out what happened to him just now, and figure out whether the process was controllable - for now, this ability to project his spirit into the distance would be the best means he would use when collecting land intelligence in the future.

Normally, he would have to worry about whether he would get goathead's unwanted attention by immersing himself in the room for too long, but now there is an Alice who can draw the attention of that noisy guy outside...... It couldn't be better.

Silently apologizing to Miss Doll in his heart, Duncan looked down at his right hand, and the next second, his expression was stunned.

The brass compass, which was slightly larger than a pocket watch, disappeared at some point.

And he clearly remembered that until not long ago, the compass was still held tightly in his hand!

Duncan's eyes instantly cleared as he realized that he had completely obliviously noticed the change in his hand, and this kind of laxity and negligence had first appeared since he came to this strange and eerie ghost ship.

In the next second, he squeezed his right hand, and a dark green flame quietly appeared between his fingers, and then he stood up from behind the desk, ready to use the connection between the spirit flame and the transcendent to check whether there were any abnormal traces in the entire dormitory.

But the moment he got up, Duncan's movements suddenly stopped, and some subtle connection emerged from the bottom of his heart, and he subconsciously looked in the direction from which the connection came, but in the corner of his eye, a few feathers that seemed to be real fell from the air.

Duncan looked at the place where the feathers fell in surprise, and saw a phantom rapidly emerging and condensed in front of his eyes, but in just two or three seconds, the phantom condensed into a snow-white ......

Pigeons.

The missing compass was hanging on the pigeon's chest, and a familiar obsidian knife was lying quietly at the pigeon's feet.
