The bloody hand Mary of the pirate

"..."

"..."

"..."

Im slowly opened her eyes.

Firelight, warm bonfire.

It's snowing heavily and the night sky is dotted with stars.

There was a lot of noise around him, and many people were chatting noisily.

Seeing this, Im looked a little confused. But he did not react immediately. He looked around, and the faces he saw had a strange and familiar feeling.

Until a man walked around the bonfire and walked up to him.

"Hey, Victoria, you're awake."

The man said with a grin, sat down in the snow next to him, and then patted Im on the shoulder with his big hand.

"Yes, you have been traveling for so long today and you are in such poor health that you will indeed be sleepy, hahahaha..."

Im not annoyed at the obvious ridicule of the man sitting next to him, but instead showed a slightly dazed look in his eyes.

"you……"

"Um?"

Seeing Im's somewhat confused eyes, the man sitting next to him showed a strange expression, and then said with a strange expression:

"Hello? Moses Moses? Are you asleep? Logically speaking, you should jump up and beat me up at this time."

"You're Joey Boy..."

Im murmured.

The expressions of the people around him became even weirder.

"That's right, I'm Joey Boy."

Then, he showed a funny and exaggerated expression.

"It's over, Victoria really fell asleep."

"Hey, everyone! Victoria is so cute now! Come and tease him!"

Joyboy shouted loudly and greeted everyone.

The people around the bonfire looked over one after another, noticing the blank look on Im's face, and then burst into laughter.

A group of people were chatting happily, but they were all joking about Im, and some girls even made faces at Im, who looked quite handsome.

But when Im looked around, his eyes gradually became more alert.

It even has a brilliance.

Different from the confusion when he first woke up and the indifference when he was sitting on the throne, Im became more like a [person] at this time.

"Yuliana, Cole, Praba, Albrecht..."

"Stanton, Bernstein, Brenda, Bernini..."

"Ferry, Macmillan..."

Im looked at the unfamiliar and familiar faces in the crowd, and slowly read out one name after another as if instinctively.

At this time, Joyboy finally felt something was wrong.

"Hey, Im, what's wrong with you?"

"You looked very strange from the beginning."

"What, are you having a nightmare?"

Hearing what Joyboy said, Im was suddenly stunned.

He lowered his head.

"..."

"Hmm? Hello? Victoria Im?"

Joyboy looked at Im, who was silent, with a puzzled expression.

After calling Im for a long time and getting no response, he simply lowered his head, and then his expression changed.

"Hey, hey, wait, wait... Victoria, why are you crying???"

"Give me a moment..."

Im's expression was as if he had just woken up from a dream, dazed and lifeless, and two lines of clear tears fell silently from his eyes.

"You, you..."

Joyboy's face suddenly became a little unnatural, "Don't cry...or else the teacher will definitely beat me when he comes back!"

"Anyway, at least tell me why you're crying."

"...hehe, hahahaha..."

Im suddenly covered his face and laughed, making Joyboy even more confused.

After a while, Im looked up at Joyboy as if he was tired from laughing, his eyes full of fatigue that Joyboy couldn't understand.

"Sorry, Joey Boy, as you said, I had a nightmare."

"And now I'm awake."

"Huh? Did you really have a nightmare?"

Joyboy looked at Im in astonishment, "What kind of dream can make a guy like you, who is usually so indifferent, cry like this."

"What kind of dream..."

After Im was silent for a long time, he slowly spoke:

"I dreamed that the teacher died, you and I turned against each other, and all my friends left me. Only Mr. Attila was left to accompany me, and I spent more than eight hundred years."

"Ah? How could you have such a ridiculous dream?"

Joyboy immediately stood back and looked at Im up and down, feeling in awe.

"After sleeping for an hour, I can dream for more than 800 years, and still be so deeply involved in the drama, I really belong to you."

"Haha... maybe I am just being too sentimental."

Im broke into tears and smiled, "But it's okay that you are all still alive, as long as those are all fake."

"You always say some strange things..."

Joyboy looked at Im and couldn't stop shaking his head.

"What are you two going to say?"

At this time, a familiar female voice came from behind Im.

"!"

At this moment, Im's expression was completely frozen, and even his whole body was unable to move.

The huge impact made it impossible for his brain, which had lived for eight hundred years, to recover. Until Joyboy forced him to stand up, he was too confused to look back.

"Hey, Sister Christie, you're back!"

"Sage, what's the harvest today? Is there anything going on on the island?"

"Senior Great Sage, have you recorded the humanities nearby? I've already prepared the records here!"

As soon as the woman returned to the camp, the entire camp exploded. A group of people stopped communicating and rushed towards the woman.

And the woman also responded very calmly and answered everyone's questions.

Finally, when the crowd gradually dispersed, she slowly approached Joey Boy and the two of them.

"Well, I'm back. Did anything happen in the camp while I was away? You two?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Im felt that his vision was blurry.

There was only a vague human figure in Bai Huanghuang's field of vision, and after a long time, the appearance of that person gradually became clear.

Snow-white hair, light blue eyes, and gentle expression.

Behind the simple and harmonious linen robe, the pair of snow-white wings were folded.

"..."

He opened his mouth to say something, but the words came to his mouth and he choked again.

"……Um?"

The woman in front of him tilted her head and glanced at Im a little strangely, and then looked at Joyboy with doubtful eyes.

Joyboy shrugged bluntly and shook his head.

"you……"

"Who are you?"

Im suddenly said, with a trembling tone in his voice.

It's more like praying than asking.

Praying for an answer he would like to hear...

"Me? Of course I'm Christie."

"Christie Tiara."

"What are you talking about, Victoria..."

"Ah! Could it be that it's cold here and you have a fever?..."

Christie was slightly startled, and then immediately stretched out her hand to Im's forehead.

She lifted the hair from his forehead and pressed it up.

"It's strange, it's not hot either..."

"..."

"Huh?"

Christie felt Im trembling slightly.

"What's wrong? Victoria?"

Im slowly covered her eyes with her hands and subconsciously turned her face away.

"Victoria had a nightmare~"

Joeyboy on the side could only explain when he saw this, and winked at Im.

"Hehe, according to what he said, he hasn't seen us in his dreams for more than 800 years."

"Well, if that's the case, it's not hard to understand why I'm so excited now."

After saying that, Joyboy pulled the emotionally unstable Im to his side and wrapped his arms around Im.

"After all, we are close friends, classmates, and brothers!"

"There is such a thing..."

Christie said in surprise, then shook his head and laughed.

Then, facing the sobbing Im, she showed an accommodating smile, then straightened her expression, and stretched out her hand to Im with a faint smile.

"Okay, then Victoria..."

"Long time no see, how are you?"

"..."

Im raised her head and looked at Christie.

"..."

"Why, you were so involved in the drama that you even forgot how to shake my hand?"

"call."

Caught off guard, Im hugged Christie.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Christie and Joyboy were both stunned at the same time, while Im, who was holding Christie, had his face covered by his long hair, making his expression unclear.

"Just shaking hands... is not enough..."

After Christie was stunned for a moment, she patted Im on the back with a helpless expression.

"...Ah, are you still a child?"

"It's strange, you look so much more mature than Joey Boy, how could you be so childish in a dream..."

Joeyboy, who was still confused at first, was suddenly choked by Christie, and immediately protested quite dissatisfied:

"Hey, what do you mean he is more mature than me?"

"I'm older than him, okay?"

"Hot-blooded idiot."

Suddenly a small voice came from Christie's shoulder, and Joeyboy's expression suddenly froze.

Then, his eyes filled with murderous intent stared at Im.

"...What did you say?"

"I said you are a hot-blooded idiot."

"Asshole! Eat my second gear!"

As Joyboy shouted, the flesh and blood on his body squirmed, a steam burst out, and his skin turned red.

Immediately jumped away from Christie and stood opposite the Joyboy bonfire.

He originally subconsciously wanted to use the fruit's ability, but the moment he opened his hands, he stopped abruptly.

Instead, the armed color and the overlord color are intertwined.

"Rubber stamp!"

"snort!"

The two exchanged fists fiercely, creating an extremely fierce wind.

"Hey, wait, you two!..."

Upon seeing this, Christie quickly tried to dissuade her, but her frail body found it difficult to stand firm in the aftermath of the confrontation between the two.

At this time, the people watching also started to eat melon and watch the show.

"Hey, these two idiots are fighting again."

"Oh, the two enemies are fighting again? Why is it this time?"

"Hmm... I don't know. Is there any reason for the two of them to fight?"

"Who will win your bet this time? I'll bet Joey Boy."

"Joyboy."

"I crush Victoria!"

…

"Is the fight finished?"

"Are you tired?"

"Really, they are obviously my students, why are they both so violent?"

Seeing the two people sitting opposite each other dripping with sweat and staring at each other, Christie slapped his head and said angrily.

After giving two towels to the two of them, she took out a stack of documents from the satchel around her waist and handed them to them.

"This is the latest battle report from the front line. The remnants of the Kingdom of God are actually so powerful in combat. My father has recently been encircled and suppressed by their first group army and lost contact. However, his life sheet is still intact. I guess based on my father's

In terms of strength, there won’t be much of a threat, I guess it’s just that I’m being held back and can’t escape.”

"The current position of those in Infinite Land is still wavering..."

After saying that, Christie raised her head to signal.

"These are the main battle reports that just came in. Let's discuss the specific countermeasures."

As soon as they got down to business, the two people who were noisy immediately became serious.

Both Im and Joyboy began to process the battle reports at hand.

Not long after, Christie suddenly looked at Im in surprise.

"Eh? Victoria, how come you handle it so skillfully?"

"At this speed...even I am not as good as you. What's going on?"

Hearing this, Joyboy immediately looked up at Im, compared the documents in their hands, and said in surprise:

“Hiss—how are you so much faster than me??”

"As I said just now, I have lived in a dream for eight hundred years."

Im replied vaguely, "I'm very familiar with handling these things."

Christie obviously didn't believe this answer, but she didn't mean to delve deeper into it.

Instead, he turned his attention to Joey Boy.

"...Do you understand what I mean?"

"Ah - no, it's over -"

"Are you going to memorize those regulations again?"

Joyboy suddenly wailed as if he were mourning for his heir.

All said and done, Joyboy and Im were both geniuses, and Christie put forward opinions from time to time. It didn't take long for a thick stack of battle reports to be thoroughly analyzed.

"In other words, this position needs to be strengthened because it can be easily broken through."

"It's unclear what kind of heavy firepower the opponent has, but they are willing to spend a lot of effort to trap my father. Presumably the backup they have left is not that bad."

Finally, after Christie concluded the analysis results of the battle report, he put away the battle report that had been filled with notes.

"Leave it to you, Joyboy."

"You should learn from Victoria's analytical thinking."

Joeyboy, who just thought Christie trusted him, turned pale.

Vaguely, he seemed to hear a burst of laughter coming from beside him.

Christie didn't pay attention to this. She just looked at the sky, and then looked at the mechanical watch in her hand.

"Hey, is it only after six o'clock now? It gets dark so fast on Winter Island."

She shook her head, stood up, and greeted several people around her.

Then he turned around and left with a group of people.

Im, who was still arguing with Joeyboy, suddenly turned pale when he saw this, as if he remembered something terrible, he stood up suddenly and said:

"Teacher, where are you going..."

Hearing this question, Christie turned to look at Im in confusion and said:

"I'm going to buy some ingredients from the nearby residents. I'm going to cook dinner tonight. We still have a few days to travel, so we can't be hungry at this time. What's wrong, haven't we always been like this?"

"...going to buy groceries?"

Then Im slowly recalled some vague memories, and it seemed that he did have this habit.

"Okay, I'll take people to exchange some necessities with the indigenous people. You and Joyboy remember to guard the camp. We are not safe now."

"Just be the same as before. I'll be back soon. Look at your expression. Don't scare yourself. Smile."

Christie joked.

Im scratched his head and forced an ugly smile.

"Yes, that's it. Then I'm leaving."

Christie nodded, then his face turned solemn, and he said to the people around him.

"Let's go."

"yes."

The people around them responded with low voices, and the group walked away from the bonfire.

The figure gradually disappeared into the dark forest.

Looking at this scene, Im felt like it was familiar, but...

That was a dream, right?

Right.
