001 Wreck in the Fog
Silence, darkness, and two yellow lights emit faint light in the mist.
The bottomless sea water rippled, and the Black Knife gradually broke through the fog and drove forward.
There is still no end in front of you, and there is no reference to determine the exact location.
The Black Knife had been driving in the foggy sea for three days. At first, Mark and others were excited, cautious, and full of desire to explore.
But as time went by, Mark and others found that the sea of fog was even more boring than expected. There were no monsters hidden in the fog, and there were no huge sea monsters under the water. Instead, because the fog was too wet and cold, they felt very uncomfortable, so they simply returned to the eternal space one by one, and the tool people were responsible for continuing to drive the Black Knife.
Tokto is one of the tool guys.
He was originally a minion pirate in Maria's pirates. Because he participated in the siege of the Black Sword Pirates, he became a prisoner of the Black Sword Pirates after being defeated.
Compared to some incompetent and furious tool people, Toktor's mentality was very calm. He found that after losing control of his body, he could have more time to think.
He reflected on his past actions and believed that he deserved such a sin.
If he doesn't enter the sea of fog, he feels that he can be a tool for the rest of his life, at least he still has free thoughts.
But the sea of fog was so tormenting that his clothes became wet in a blink of an eye, and the air was wet and cold. His originally healthy body had begun to have many minor problems.
"Tokto, why don't we run away!"
Suddenly, Tokto heard the voice of his friend Fask.
He turned back completely subconsciously, but this time he turned around, his consciousness fell into boundless darkness...
In the captain's room, Hawkins was reading a book. Suddenly he looked up at the direction where Toktor was originally in. Because of the contract, he noticed Toktor's disappearance.
When he walked out of the cabin, the sidewalk of the deck was empty, leaving only a bucket and a rag.
"Retrieve Tokto's record!"
Hawkins picked up the rag and put it in the bucket, then spoke.
The contract terminal of all tool people has a database that records every move of tool people, so any behavior of tool people is actually under the monitoring of the intelligent brain, and even thinking is entered, and the fundamental thoughts of each action are not spared.
Malicious intention, kindness, repentance, everything will become an indicator of the length of service.
If a pirate confesses from the bottom of his heart, his sentence will gradually be shortened until he gains freedom.
Hawkins opened Tokto's behavior record and found that Tokto was actually confessing. Finally, Tokto heard the voice of his companion and then lost contact.
He pondered for a moment and said in the chat group: "Victor, Fask is your sailor, right?"
"Yes, Captain, what's the problem?" Victor replied in a voice.
Hawkins said indifferently: "Send him here, Tokto is missing."
"Someone is missing?" Mark said excitedly.
Hawkins frowned slightly and said in his voice: "Mark, do you really hope something happens?"
"Uh... Captain, I'm just curious, I'm not gloating." Mark quickly explained.
Ai Miye incited: "Captain, Mark is gloating and punishing him for one month's salary."
"Mark comes out with his clone. In the next week, you will be responsible for the safety of the sailors on the Black Knife." Hawkins thought for a while and spoke.
Mark was originally a combat commander, and it was his mission to be responsible for the safety of the members of the ship, so there was nothing wrong with Hawkins' order.
"As for orders, captain."
Mark knew his responsibilities very well and responded simply.
If nothing happened, it would be fine even if Mark stayed in eternal space. However, since there was danger, Mark had no choice.
After a moment, Victor brought Fask to the Black Knife, and Mark also appeared on the ship with a group of combatants.
"Visibility is still so low." Mark frowned and looked around, unable to help complaining.
Hawkins walked up to Fask and asked, "Have you ever spoke to Tokto?"
"No, sir." Fask replied quickly.
Hawkins just asked a question, and after getting the answer, he ordered Fask: "Continue to dry the water droplets on the boat and keep the hull dry as much as possible."
After Fask left, Victor asked: "Captain, how did Tokto disappear?"
"I don't know, I was in the captain's room and sensed that Tokto disappeared and the others were gone." Hawkins shook his head.
Victor looked around and guessed, "Can there be some monster hiding in the fog and eating people?"
"There is no evidence, don't think about it for the time being." Hawkins shook his head.
In the fog sea, even the spell power is compressed and cannot extend for more than ten meters.
They used a lot of methods when they first came in, such as strong light flashlights, spell extensions, and nanodetection robots, but they all lost contact after more than ten meters.
It seems like there is another world ten meters away.
Mark came over at this time, holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, and said, "Captain, could it be Tokto who jumped into the sea and ran away?"
"It is indeed possible. Once Tokto leaves the Black Knife for more than ten meters, the contract may not be useful to him." Victor guessed in a low voice.
Hawkins shook his head and said, "I have seen the records before his disappearance. He is a prisoner who has changed his favor and is impossible to jump into the sea to escape. Besides, in this environment, if it were you, would you have the courage to jump into the sea?"
“…”
Mark and Victor looked around, then smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
The water in the fog sea was pitch black and surrounded by fog. There was a faint light on the boat. Even if you really jumped into the sea, you might be scared to death even if you were not drowned.
This is definitely a nightmare for patients with deep-sea fear.
"Okay, please be careful and communicate in the chat group as much as possible. Toktor disappeared after hearing Fask's voice. The other party may have the ability to call for a name, and any responder will be hit." Hawkins reminded.
Mark nodded to show his understanding, and then he told the other fighters to pay attention to this point.
"Captain, then I'll go back first." Victor said.
Hawkins nodded and said, "Well, keep an eye on the chat group at any time."
"Okay!" Victor responded, and then returned to the eternal space.
The sea of fog is too tormenting, and the thick fog that cannot be dispelled around is enough to make people crazy.
Originally, Marnie was very interested in the Sea of Misty. When she first entered the Sea of Misty, Marin persuaded her not to return to the eternal space, but after she had eczema the next day, she obediently returned to the eternal space and was beaten to death and never came out.
There is a saying on earth that cold in the north is physical attack, and cold in the south is magic attack.
The fog in the sea of fog is real damage. As long as you stay in the fog, your skin needs to withstand the test of wet and cold at all times.
Of course, Mark and Hawkins are actually fine. Both of them have the power to protect their bodies. As long as they cover the power of the spell, they will not feel the wetness and coldness of the fog.
But the two of them were not comfortable either, because the clothes still absorbed too much moisture and became wet.
Next, the Black Knife continued to move forward.
Because the direction cannot be distinguished, the Black Knife has not changed its direction at all and has been moving forward since entering the fog sea.
In the sea of fog, compass, and compass, there is nothing to do. Even in the eternal chart, the sea of fog is a fog, and there is no way to see anything at all.
However, Hawkins had a intuition that as long as he continued to stay in the sea of fog, the fog on the eternal chart would eventually disappear.
Before the fog of the chart disappeared, Hawkins's idea was very simple, which was to keep waiting and keep calm.
...
The next month, the Black Knife did not appear again and disappeared. Everyone began to wonder whether Tokto himself accidentally fell into the water?
Although it is suspicious to hear Fask's voice before disappearing, it is also possible that he had hallucinations in his mind.
In fact, Hawkins could not be sure, because the behavior record itself is just a record and would not identify where the recorded information came from.
For example, when a person hears someone calling his name, he subconsciously thinks that the person who calls him is a, but in fact the person who calls him is b. Before turning back and confirming, his subjective consciousness believes that it is a, and then the behavior record will be recorded, and the person who calls him is a.
Before turning back, if he is killed, he will lose the identity of the confirmation caller forever, and a will be considered the caller.
Hawkins was unable to determine whether someone was talking to Tokto or whether Tokto himself had hallucinations, but he himself did not realize that he had hallucinations, so he mistakenly thought that Fask was talking to him.
This possibility does exist.
However, for safety reasons, he still insisted that Mark leads combatants to garrison on the Black Knife to guard against possible dangers.
Mark was wearing a raincoat, and although there was still mist in his clothes, it was indeed much better after the raincoat.
He held the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand and sat on the bow of the boat yawning, but his eyes did not relax his guard.
This sea of fog is indeed strange. In fact, he has felt like he was being peeped several times. He couldn't tell whether it was an illusion or something was peeping at him. So he relaxed on the surface, but his heart was always tense.
He discussed with Hawkins that Hawkins' answer was very simple, that is, whether there are or not, whether it is hallucination or reality, just treat it as an enemy peeking.
This method is indeed good.
Mark stared at the fog, and imagined that there were countless Ai Miye staring at him in the fog, waiting for him to show his mist, and then mocked him in the chat group.
With this imaginary enemy, he will never reveal any flaws when he is energetic.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared faintly in the fog ahead. This is a unique black, which allows people to clearly distinguish the two kinds of "black".
Mark stood up, squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and a strong flashlight appeared in his hand, illuminating directly towards the black shadow.
