Ember Gun

  Chapter 77 The End of Childhood

  With Ed's death, a major resistance to action tonight disappeared, but in the center of that huge pollution source, Eve faced something more terrifying.

Strange pitch black permeated everywhere in the field of vision. There was no light in the inside of this weird lighthouse. The door behind it was trembling. There were thousands of demons, who were eager for blood and flesh to try to break through the last line of defense. .

In addition, only the rapid heartbeats of Eve and Kestrel were left. In the darkness, the two looked at each other a little bit. They all knew that they couldn't defend this place. Once the gate was breached, they would have no defense at all. ability.

It seems that there is only one way left at this moment, that is, stepping into the weird darkness and advancing in a desperate situation. Instead of dying in the hands of these monsters, it is better to try to destroy the mysterious source of pollution and see this clearly. The truth of everything.

  The thermal rifle lit up in the dark. With a little light, the two of them walked along the wall in tacit understanding, and soon they came into contact with the stairs that spiraled up along the wall.

  The monster knocked on the door and urged the two to move forward. Without too much hesitation, Eve and the Kestrel ran all the way, and then finally saw light after the darkness.

  It was a momentary trance. When Eve returned to her senses, the strong sea breeze was blowing on her cheeks, countless raindrops flowed over her face, and the wind was rustling.

  The ground under our feet is constantly shaking, as the huge thunder sweeps across the night sky, the white sails are driving the wind.

  This is a ship, a big ship traveling in a storm.

  Eve suddenly felt a strange sense of confusion. She was still running wild in the lighthouse just now, but why did she appear here at this moment?

  All of this couldn't be explained. He cast his eyes forward, and the tall man firmly held the rudder, facing the storm without the slightest fear, facing the tide.

  There seemed to be only her and the weird captain on this ship. Although it was not clear what was going on, Eve still squeezed the gun in his hand, and then moved forward slowly.

   "Hello, beautiful guest."

   seemed to have been aware of Eve’s arrival. Just as Eve approached the captain, the captain turned his head, and under his wet hair were a pair of shiny eyes.

"This is where?"

Although Eve hasn’t been in contact with this weird monster for long, it’s obvious that the girl has adapted to this rhythm. All of this has a great probability of being a **** of an illusion. Eve was also swallowed by dreams at this last moment.

  She was aware of this phenomenon, but she could not find a way to leave.

  "This is the Silverfish, and I am the captain of this ship."

  The captain has a smile on his face, but the heart of Eve on the opposite side has already splashed.

Wall’s death was the first case she took over. Even though Lorenzo’s spoiler was smashed, Eve still found many clues in the follow-up investigation. For example, Wall came from a ship named Silverfish. Fishing boat.

But there is something wrong. The Silverfish is a steamship, a mechanical artifact covered by rivets and iron armor, but now she is on an old fishing boat, without indestructible steel, it is countless wooden boards. The hull lifted up, the roar of the steam engine no longer existed, only the huge sails were raised, hunting and hunting under the towing of the storm.

  This is a weird dream, and Eve is silent until another man inserts it.

   "What happened to the captain?"

  The man came from behind the boat and looked at Eve who appeared suddenly. He was holding the harpoon with a nervous expression.

   "Nothing, go back to your post, it's just a visit from a friend."

  The captain said casually, but it sounded like thunder to Eve. She stepped aside to ensure that the captain was within her shooting range, and at the same time she glanced behind her from the corner of her sight.

  It was Wall. Although the corpse in the morgue was completely unrecognizable, Eve could still find a sense of familiarity from the man in front of him.

  The inexplicable anomaly got deeper and deeper, and Eve felt uneasy that he had never felt before.

   "Don't be afraid, I am not malicious."

The captain tried to appease Eve, but Eve obviously wouldn't believe him, and pointed the gun directly at him. The captain waved Wall to leave, so the long-dead man left like a machine, with his vision again Only Eve and him were left.

   "Here...Where is it?"

   Knowing that the gun in her hand may not hurt the man in front of her at all, but Eve still holds it tightly. This is the only thing that can bring her a sense of security.

  "Whitebait, we are now heading for a new era."

  The captain turned his back to Eve, and once again manipulated the rudder wheel. Facing the wind and rain, he did not flinch. The cold rain hit his firm face, and he stood on the spot like a sculpture.

  "Do you know? I actually hate the new era. When I was a child, the steam engine was only in the distant rumors. I don't even know what that thing is."

  The captain’s face was full of nostalgia, and the blue veins on his arm violently buckled the rudder wheel, no matter how heavy the wind and rain could not shake.

"At that time, the Vikings believed in the **** Odin. We drove pirate ships in the northern waters, plundering wealth with fire and axe. In your opinion, we are heinous pirates, but under the concept of the Vikings at that time, we Every time I set sail, I was 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, the rising and falling sea outlined a hideous look under the pale thunder.

  He really seemed to be just sailing, and then chatted with Eve.

   "What do you want to do?"

   Eve asked vigilantly, she wouldn’t be surprised if the captain turned into a monster to kill her, but now this guy is chatting, making Eve feel uneasy.

   "I just want to say something. If I don't tell young people, some stories will be forgotten along with my elderly body, right?"

  The captain continued.

"Later I grew up. I thought I would also embark on the journey of my father’s generation and become a pirate. But when I grew up, the stories of my childhood had faded. Steam engines and guns conquered everything. The so-called battle axe and Glory was just a rotten old thing before the advancement of science and technology."

"I thought I still had a chance to raise my sails and gallop on the sea, but when I came to the port, there were steamboats moored everywhere, and the last sailing ship had been torn down and thrown into the stove to add warmth to the cold winter. ."

  The captain looked sad.

   "This is the end of my childhood."

  　 I’ll finish the code when I get home, I’ll write more when I’m off tomorrow.
