Mysteries of the Earthsea

Chapter 26: False Lily

   Charles’ anomaly has attracted the attention of others. A person with a group of mice is so eye-catching wherever they are, and there are more people pointing at him next to him.

   "Don't worry." Charles, frowning, led Lily to the side street.

   "Are you sure that is your home, is that little girl the original you?"

   "Of course I'm sure, I look like that, it's obviously my mother." Lily's voice was sad.

   "Send your friends away first, it's not easy to do this."

   Lily squeaked twice, and the mice around them quickly dispersed, and there was a scream of women.

   Charles took Lily around the street, then returned to the small villa.

   At this time in the small yard, Lily's mother had left, and only "Lily" was sitting there and reading a book.

   "Don't talk later, let me test everything."

After looking around and finding nothing unusual, Charles opened the wooden door and walked straight towards her. "The little girl from Lily ~www.wuxiahere.com~ looked up suspiciously. When she saw Charles, her expression changed and her hands changed. Put down the book and ran towards the house with a panic expression.

   "Huh?" Charles raised his left hand, and three invisible tentacles instantly entangled her.

   Just when Charles thought the little girl in front of him would show her true shape, this "Lily" was just struggling desperately and shouting loudly. "Mom! Mom! Help!"

   Seeing this scene, a trace of confusion appeared on Charles's face. He had seen a lot of abnormal monsters that could deform, but it was the first time he saw this kind of reaction.

   He raised "Lily" in front of him, took out a black knife and swiped it hard, and scarlet blood appeared on the girl's arm.

   licked the knife, Charles was surprised to find that it was really human blood.

   At this moment, the next door opened and Lily's mother came out, holding a flintlock in her trembling hand. "Let go of my daughter! I have already called the police!"

   Ignoring the weapons in the woman’s hands that were not dangerous at all, Charles calmly looked at the little girl in front of him and asked, "Why did you run when you saw me?"

   The little girl looked terrified, but she still spoke quickly. "Because you have the smell of the sea, Dad said, those who have the smell of the sea are bad guys."

   "Liar!! That's my father!" Lily the white mouse was about to pounce on the little girl.

   Charles grabbed the mouse, released the little girl and walked outside.

   Everything that "Lily" showed was so normal, not like a disguise at all, which made Charles feel a little confused.

   "Don't worry, let's investigate it first." Charles pressed the white mouse's restless head.

   Charles took Lily back to the port area, turned around and came to a remote door.

   After looking around and seeing no one else, he tapped on it and whispered: "Look for your old ears."

   The door opened silently, and Charles walked in directly with Lily.

   Inside is a messy warehouse, a group of men with various tattoos on their faces are playing cards.

   When Charles came in with a group of mice, a thin man with a scar on his face stood up.

   "Captain Charles, long time no see, do you want to bring goods again? I heard that you have got a big ship that can carry a lot of goods."

   Charles didn't bother to be polite with him, took out a stack of echo coins and handed it over. "I need some information from Dr. Oliver."

   Since you can't see the situation from the front, you can ask some local snakes, maybe they have other clues.

   The scarred man smiled and took it with his right hand without two fingers. "It's easy to say, Coral Island has no news that our Sea Snake Gang can't detect."

   Not long after, a piece of paper filled with words was pushed in from the crack of Charles’s residence. After he took it and looked at it in detail, he looked at the white mouse on the ground with a complicated expression.

   "Lily, did you go to see your grandfather's time and became a mouse after being caught in the whirlpool?"

   "Yes, that's right."

   "But... from those guys' inquiries to the news, your parents have stayed on the island in recent years and haven't gone to sea."

   There was a deadly silence in the room for three full seconds. Lily's eyes were filled with incredulous openings and said, "That...that means..."

   "In other words, that Lily is real, she is the real daughter of the Olivers, and not someone else pretending to be."

   Since Dr. Oliver had never been to sea, it would not have been difficult, and of course their daughter would not be able to fall into the whirlpool.

   "She is real, then who am I?" Tears kept dripping from the mouse's eyes.

   Charles pondered the words and said, "Lily, although it is a little hard to accept, the things in memory may not be true."

   "Impossible!! I am Lily!! I am not a mouse!!! I am the real Lily!!" The white mouse screamed hysterically.

   Hearing Lily's yelling, the brown mice quickly gathered around, squeaking with concern.

   "Go away! I'm not your kind! I'm a human! I'm a human!!" The brown mice spread out a bit, but they always surrounded the crying white mice.

Charles didn’t know what to say at this time. He thought about a lot of results, but he never thought it would be like this~www.wuxiahere.com~ But after thinking about it carefully, it is reasonable that the world of Earth Sea is so impressive. despair.

   After half an hour, Lily, who was surrounded by mice, lay motionless on the ground, as if she had lost her soul. "Mr. Charles, do you say I am really a mouse?"

   Charles, who was sitting on the stool, was silent. In this case, he didn't know how to answer.

   The white mouse who couldn't get the answer slowly got up and walked towards the door desperately, followed by the brown rats.

"Where are you going?"

   Lily's voice was pitiful in grievance. "I don't know... but since it's a mouse, maybe I should go to the sewer, Mr. Charles, thank you for your care these days. You are a good person."

   The mice rushed up quickly, the door handle was easily opened by them, and followed the white mice to the dim corridor outside.

   Looking at the mice going away, Charles showed a trace of irritation on his face. "Are you planning to give up? Are you planning to go to the sewer to eat garbage for a lifetime?"

   Lily with drooping ears turned around and looked at Charles dumbfounded.

   "Since you think you are a human being, and the earth and sea made you like this, you should go to the sea to get everything back! Not to escape!" His voice was high.

   "People cannot decide our destiny, but we can decide to face difficulties and come back! I need a gunner on my ship,"

   Lily's eyes were wet with tears again, and the choked white mouse nodded her head. "Mr. Charles, thank you, why are you helping me like this?"

   Charles is not a warm-hearted person, but when he sees desperate Lily walking outside, he instinctively resists. He is also a poor man who can't go home. He is afraid that it will be his future self.
