"Then how do you know if what comes to you is an illusion?"
Austin lay back on the grass, closed his eyes and said, "Just say something that only the two of us know. When you leave, clear my memory here. This is your territory. I know you can do it." Arrived."
Lysa shrugged and lay back on the grass.
Austin opened his eyes again and saw Martin and Ma Fei staring at him with concern on their faces.
"Captain, are you okay?" Ma Fei asked cautiously. He always felt that his captain was not normal.
"It's okay." Austin waved his hand.
Ma Fei looked at the empty sleeves swinging in front of him, and the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably, then he pulled Martin and walked aside.
"Is this really the captain?" Ma Fei glanced in Austin's direction and whispered.
Martin scratched his bald head and answered uncertainly: "Probably, it feels like it."
"But I feel that he is not normal. Did someone change him when the fog first started?" Ma Fei became more and more excited as he spoke, and began to draw with his hands. "It was very strange just now. The fog suddenly rose and dispersed. Then the captain passed out and was missing a leg and an arm.”
"And the injury doesn't look like it's new. There's no scratch at all." Martin added, "The person also feels dazed and stunned. It's so strange."
When the two of them put it together, there was a 70% chance that Austin was fake.
"Then what should we do?" Ma Fei looked at Martin, "Second officer, you have more experience. Is there anything you can do?"
"You are young and have ideas. Do you have any ideas?" Martin scratched his bald head.
The two smiled at each other and wiped their necks with their hands almost at the same time.
Austin looked at his left arm. The skin on the broken area had grown back, and the color was the same as other places. It looked like it had been a long time.
"Did I stay there a long time?" he murmured.
His brows twitched slightly, and there were light footsteps behind him, as someone was approaching quietly.
"Can you help me?" Beowulf said.
"Please." Austin really had difficulty moving at the moment.
Black crystals grew from the severed limb, twisting like the roots of a tree to form half an arm.
The person behind him couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "You are indeed not the captain! Go to hell! You monster! Where did you get the captain!"
Austin was stunned for a moment, grabbed the knife that Maffei had struck with his hand, and used his crystallized left arm to block the bullet fired by Martin.
"Wait! Stop it first!" Austin threw the knife he grabbed and knocked Martin's pistol away. "What's going on! Speak clearly first!"
Ma Fei pulled out a dagger from his waist and said coldly: "No need, you insidious sea monster!"
After saying that, he kicked his feet and rushed forward, directly attacking Austin's right leg.
Austin backed up and then bumped into another man at the entrance of the cave.
"Oh oh oh, what's going on?" Lysa held Austin's back with her hands and exclaimed, "Is your crew fighting among themselves?"
Austin didn't have time to explain, he dodged Mafei's blow sideways, pressed his hands down to hold Mafei's dagger-holding wrist, then turned over and pressed him to the ground.
"Okay, okay, stop for a moment and listen to me." Revery behind Lesa stretched out his hand to stop Martin who was rushing over.
Martin frowned, took two steps back, and asked, "Lisa? Lysa Stuart?"
"Uh-huh." Lysa hummed softly, "So can you listen to me first?"
Austin let go of Maffei, who did a backflip and stood next to Martin, looking at the three people here with a wary expression.
"First of all, Austin." Lysa poked his crystallized left arm, "It's really amazing. Do you remember when I sneaked out to drink in the middle of the night during my coming-of-age ceremony? I almost broke my arm at that time."
Austin smiled knowingly and breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems like this is real."
Then he looked at Martin and Ma Fei: "Listen guys, there was a heavy fog just now, and then I went to a strange place, and finally it was like this. I kept feeling weird because I couldn't be sure if this was... Fantasy."
Martin and Maffei were still dubious.
Ma Fei asked first: "How do you prove it?"
Austin was stunned for a moment, he really couldn't prove it.
Lesa patted his shoulder: "You have to rely on yourself."
"But since you doubt him, why not lend him to us first."
Martin frowned: "What are you going to do?"
Lesa said: "I know you are looking for me. You can report my whereabouts to the superiors now, and then you can hand over the mission."
"Really? Then what are you going to do?" Ma Fei didn't listen to what she said at all.
"Looking for something here requires Austin's help. It has to be him. Then we will naturally know whether he is real or not."
Martin and Maffei looked at each other but said nothing.
"Um, why are there so many people here?"
The five people turned back together and saw a tall figure holding a pile of things outside the door, and an even taller giant behind him.
"Henry? You brought him here." Austin saw the big guy made of sea anemones at a glance.
"Yes, I thought it might come in handy."
"Where's Ingra Khan?"
"I used a pseudo-artifact to modify his memory, but this is temporary and the duration is about twelve hours."
Austin had an idea and thought of a way: "Can I take the initiative to lift it?"
"Well, okay." Henry tilted his head, "What are you going to do?"
Austin looked at Martin and Ma Fei and explained: "The guy here has a grudge against me. He has no body now and can only rely on his soul to identify people in the outside world. If he returns to normal, he will definitely kill me."
After saying that, he motioned to Henry to remove the effect of the pseudo-artifact.
"Ingra Khan"'s eyes began to flash, and after a while he stared at Austin. Then he strode forward without any nonsense and punched down directly.
Austin was extremely fast thanks to the black mist of Beowulf and easily dodged the blow.
"You! Damn it! Bitch!" A voice with an electronic tone sounded, the cover on the chest opened, and a series of magical crystals were launched.
"Okay, get it under control!"
Henry took out a necklace, and the green gem on it flashed a few times, and "Ingra Khan" returned to normal and stood still.
Martin and Ma Fei looked at Henry and said in unison: "Is this true?"
"Yes, it was the same during the last experiment."
Lesa sighed and interrupted the conversation of several people: "Okay, now can you consider what I said? You go report my location, Austin and I will go, of course he will come back."
