In the small mirror that was carried with him, Martha appeared from a cloud of black mist, and her voice broke into Lawrence's ears: "Did you see the lights in the distance?"
"I see," Lawrence nodded, and at the same time looked up at the unbelievable scene in front of him-a large black phantom floating on the sea, vaguely like the outline of a city-state, but could not see any details, and Under the surface of the water, there are brightly lit port terminals and various buildings on the edge of the city-state, while the White Oak is gradually approaching the opposite light and shadow without being controlled by anyone, and countless shadowy ships are in the distance. Floating on the surface of the sea, as if he was in a fierce battle, in this confused field of vision of light and shadow, virtual and real, he even felt that he was illusory, "It's really an unimaginable scene... It turns out that observing the world from the mirror side, unexpectedly This is what it looks like...
"Light and shadow are reversed in your field of vision, but they are normal scenery in my eyes-but soon, everything will be reversed again," Martha said with a smile on her face, "do it Get ready, I will be docking soon. The location is an abandoned trestle in the southern corner of the East Harbor Wharf. I will try to get the boat as close to a sewer inspection port as possible. Take your mirror and I will guide you all the way to the first Ershui Road.”
"Then...the other fakes will react, right?" Lawrence still couldn't help worrying, "If you really can't beat it, you can retreat first with the White Oak and the Black Oak, and then At our current speed, those counterfeit products are definitely unstoppable.”
Martha rolled her eyes: "Of course, I'm not stupid - my mission is just to send you here and delay the time a little bit, but I don't intend to rely on two twin ghost ships to kill the entire Mirror Frost Fleet, they can't be killed cleanly."
Anomaly 077 is squatting on the deck, fiddling with a rope that he didn't know where to find, and raising his head from time to time to observe the chimney and flagpole of the White Oak, looking quite troubled.
"Hasn't it become popular in your time to hang sailors who have made mistakes on the mast?" the mummy muttered suspiciously.
"Are you still thinking about your noose?" Lawrence raised his eyebrows and said in a bad tone, "Put down the rope and go to the first officer to get a machete and guns and ammunition. We are ready to go ashore."
"I used to put it on my neck and fell asleep, why didn't it work..." Anomaly 077 was still muttering in confusion, and then suddenly realized, "Ah? Go ashore?! You still have to go ashore this time? Want to take me?"
It's very appropriate for the abnormality of the evil gate to deal with the city-state of the evil gate." Lawrence looked serious, "We are going to enter the depths of the frost through the second waterway - don't waste time, get your weapons.
The sailor was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and stood up immediately: "Yes, captain!"
The White Oak gradually approached the darkness where reality was reversed, approached the lights reflected in the sea, and an elite and powerful marine team had gathered behind Lawrence.
The first mate, Gus, was not in the team, but was arranged by Lawrence to stay on board.
The old captain made the arrangements with a serious face: "There will be a fierce battle afterwards, and all the fake warships near the port will react and attack the White Oak and Black Oak. If it lasts long enough, retreat with Martha if you can't hold on."
"I understand," Gus nodded, but he still looked at the "sailor" who was fiddling with his new weapon behind Lawrence, "but...is he really reliable?"
Lawrence glanced back, abnormality 077-sailor also just raised his head, this mummy had a machete on his waist, but threw the rifle and bullet bag in his hand on the wooden barrel beside him, muttering Gu: "I can just carry a machete, I don't know how to use this thing."
"You are free, if you think a scimitar is enough for you to deal with the second waterway of the mirror city-state," Lawrence said casually, "If someone who doesn't know how to use a gun gets a gun, it will only have the opposite effect."
The sailor thought for a while, but he still didn't touch the rifle. Instead, he came to the box where the weapons were stored, took a machete from it and hung it on his belt.
Lawrence didn't say anything, just lowered his head and glanced at his palm.
He is slow
Slowly squeeze hard, make a fist, open, he adjusted his breathing, sketched in his mind the phantom of a ship burning with ghostly flames, with the sails of the spirit body flying high, recalling the flames burning his body , the feeling of the body being transformed in the flames.
It took a long time before he saw a faint green color appear in his palm lines, and tiny flames flowed slowly in the lines.
There was a slight vibration from the deck under the feet, and the White Oak started to brake. The hazy darkness outside the ship was close at hand, and Martha’s voice came from the small mirror on the chest——
"Attention, the boat will dock soon, and then I will reverse the phase again and release the twin projection. You jump onto the pier from the left and go straight, and I will show you the way."
"I'm ready." Lawrence exhaled softly, and slowly came to the side of the ship.
"I'm ready too!" Anomaly 077 followed closely behind the captain, with a hint of excitement and anticipation in his hoarse voice, "Go ashore! Fight! Pirates are coming!"
"We are not pirates," Lawrence looked back at the mummy, "we are honored sailors."
"Dock," Martha's voice came from the mirror almost at the same time, "three, two, one... reverse phase!"
In an instant, the light and shadow change, and the virtual and real are interchanged.
Everything around Lawrence seemed to flicker violently, and then, the reflection in the sea rose, and the darkness in front of him reversed, as if passing through an invisible mirror in an instant, and the frosty pier and trestle appeared in front of him , and the damp and cold feeling that has always lingered around, as if soaked in sea water, disappeared in an instant!
The next second, he saw a black shadow suddenly appear on the sea beside the White Oak, and the silhouette of the Black Oak quickly emerged from the shadow.
After the light and shadow were reversed, the Black Oak and the White Oak were released from the state of mutual reflection, and instead appeared on the sea in the form of twin battleships, ready to cooperate with their sister ships.
In an instant, lampposts appeared on the pier, police sirens sounded in the streets and alleys in the distance, chaotic wind whimpered and howled in the port, and the sound of warships firing hastily sounded from a distance, like a chaotic thunder.
Response so fast? !
Lawrence was startled, but his reaction was not slow at all. He kicked the rope ladder down and was the first to rush out: "Let's go!"
A marine team consisting of more than a dozen capable sailors rushed to the pier and rushed to the distant intersection along the route suggested by Martha, with Lawrence leading the way.
The cold wind whistled beside his ears, and the sound of police sirens and guns in the distance carried an intermittent and distorted texture. Under the chaotic and dim sky, Lawrence held the revolver tightly in one hand and the sharp sword in the other, and ran wildly in this distorted mirror image. The ghost city-state, Martha's voice kept coming.
"At the front intersection, turn left, bypass the sentry box...go straight, take the alley on the right, the entrance is at the end...
Behind you are the hurried and chaotic footsteps of the sailors, in your hands are trustworthy weapons, and next to your ears are the voices of lovers cooperating seamlessly.
Lawrence ran faster and faster. In a trance, he seemed to feel that the old age and exhaustion accumulated over the past few decades had disappeared from this body. He felt that his heart was beating like a young man, and his blood vessels were rushing. The same blood as in the prime of life—that wanton high-spirited time came back to his mind.
It's back, it's all back.
He stepped forward, swinging his arms, faint green flames emerged behind him like phantoms, and beside him, behind him, green flames began to emerge from the sailors, flesh and blood A ghostly, illusory texture is reflected in the flames.
Anomaly 077's voice sounded like howling ghosts and wolves: "Captain! I'm afraid!"
"If you're afraid, get closer to the team!" Lawrence grinned, with inexplicable joy in his voice, "This city
Can't stop us! "
Anomaly 077 ran forward with Lawrence while continuing to howl: "I'm afraid of you!"
"Then you just work hard to get used to it—I'm not retiring, so don't even think about it!"
Lawrence said loudly happily, he didn't mind at all that his voice would give away the whereabouts of the team, and he didn't worry about being careless on the street
The act of head-running will attract the "guards" of the city-state.
Because from the very beginning, it was impossible to "infiltrate" - the moment the uninvited guest stepped into the mirrored city, the living city had already reacted.
The street slowly filled with mist, and in the strange and dim mist, something indistinct emerged from it.
"It's foggy in the street!" he yelled, "Martha, is this normal?"
"Fog is a sign of criticality~IndoMTL.com~The mirror in the fog is the most difficult to distinguish between reality and reality-keep moving forward, don't care about the fog that diffuses from the real world, it is just ahead."
"Good!"
Lawrence responded loudly, leading the sailors to rush towards the fog, and in the fog, one after another wobbled and twisted figures stood up, they had deformed bodies, the wrong number of eyes, they roared in the fog Whispering, walking staggeringly.
Lawrence raised the muzzle of the gun in his hand, but before he and the sailors fired, a series of dense gunshots sounded from the other side of the fog.
A spider-like steam walker suddenly appeared in the fog. The heavily armed city guard soldiers built a barricade around the walker. The flames instantly tore the monsters in the fog into pieces.
Lawrence ran past the edge of the battle area, and he looked at the city guards who suddenly appeared in astonishment, but the next second, those soldiers and the steam walker disappeared into the thick fog, leaving only one Heap of messy rubble.
"Here we are, the entrance to the sewer - there is an elevator at the end of the walk below, which leads directly to the second waterway!"
