Captain – Chapter 733 – The Girl Who Chases the Night

The scenery before Roy’s eyes was certainly not real. Whether the rainwater, muddy ground, or that night ring that fell from heaven, they were all manifestations of connection.

A connection that began with her father’s love for her and ended with that person’s sacrifice.

Is this the beginning? Can I really see you again?

How are you… right now?

Staring at the black ring before her in slight bewilderment, Roy silently asked herself, her excited trembling gradually subsiding.

Almost at the moment the ring fell and came into view, the girl already knew that the night curtain and the situation of the old man still quietly standing guard outside…

Was finally about to be revealed.

And what that Night Curtain Captain had said to her in a dream months ago – that as long as she walked the path, she would see the scenery he had witnessed – had also come true.

But what about the night?

The night you promised would eventually lead me to find you, lead me to the destination – where is it?

Where?

Whether that person heard her thoughts or it was just a chain reaction brought by their bond, at the moment Roy’s thoughts fell, her eyes suddenly brightened.

Not from rising great power, but from lightning on the horizon sweeping across the wilderness like a tide.

Illuminating her pupils and that night ring.

But what followed immediately was not thunderous roaring, but a clear, crisp sound.

“Crack!”

Reаd оո ΚαtRеαdіոɡСаfе

As the sound fell, the brilliance in the captain’s eyes suddenly became chaotic, and all sounds in the scene stopped.

As for the source of the light sound, the reason for the girl’s scattered pupil light…

It was all that black ring. As if responding to her question, it decisively shattered.

So the scene before her eyes, the sudden different realm, all shattered.

The sound of rain returned. Roy was back in reality. Where was there any ring before her eyes?

Naturally there would be no fragments either, but the girl’s eyes didn’t show disappointment because of this. Instead, they widened slightly, then showed surprise, because there…

At that place where the divine object shattered, a trace of night was quietly swaying.

Roy recognized it as the wisp that had been hidden in the crystal skull, accompanying her for months. Now returned, its “form” and “movements” were several times more active.

Like apologizing for leaving without saying goodbye, but more like celebrating the success of a prank.

That frivolity, that wickedness, really was so much like him.

But before the surprise in Roy’s eyes could turn into emotions like being moved or resentful, that trace of night suddenly paused in its movements, then lightly flew up.

Racing rapidly toward a certain direction, whether feeling a summons or duty.

The duty to awaken someone.

Seeing this, Roy was stunned again and instinctively reached out to grab it.

But watching that trace of night slip away from her fingertips effortlessly, she realized this wasn’t silk or ribbon at all, but just guidance.

So after angrily reproaching herself, the girl slapped the deck again and stood up, then chased in the direction the night had departed, gliding like a swallow across one warship after another.

But what surprised her, even made her more annoyed, was…

That wisp of night slipped away very quickly, with no intention of waiting for her.

Moreover, though it looked so gentle and slow, its actual speed was unimaginably fast. Even though she used great power to rise with the wind, she still struggled to keep up.

What was worse, the reunion and chase had lasted only moments, but there was already quite a distance between them, and it was still lengthening. If not for sharing those few breaths in the different realm that let her establish some ethereal connection with it, she would have lost track long ago.

Please, is this supposed to be guidance, or are you trying to shake me off?

Feeling increasingly urgent, the captain still didn’t forget to grit her teeth and complain about that night.

But it was useless – that guy couldn’t hear or understand any language.

It just rushed forward following intuition like she had before.

Time passed, and the distance between the two grew ever farther.

Even that seemingly present connection became fainter because of this. This trend undoubtedly infuriated the girl, making her grind her teeth with increasing frequency.

And just when that connection changed from light gauze to thin thread, finally leaving only one swaying, about-to-break line, just when Roy felt discouraged and was about to slow her pace, her eyes brightened slightly with sudden perception – that trace of night had finally stopped.

So after several leaps, Roy saw it again.

On an unfamiliar, ancient ghost ship, the night quietly floated before the captain’s cabin.

The moment the girl landed, the sea wind suddenly strengthened, directly blowing down that wooden door!

“Bang!”

A tremendous crash as the door heavily struck the deck, sending water droplets and wood splinters flying.

It fell without warning, yet seemed like some kind of reenactment.

Sure enough, the moment the sound fell, the moment the stirred dust settled…

The scene before Roy’s eyes suddenly changed, entering the different realm again.

In this different realm, she saw a tavern with its main door collapsed on the ground. In the spacious main hall sat fierce and menacing pirates.

Oh, this is that time you raided the stronghold at night and took the enemy leader’s life among a hundred men?

Pretty impressive, though not as much as this captain.

The scene shattered in an instant, the night drifted away, and Roy turned to chase, while unable to help making a few mental complaints, thinking her own surprise attack on the Mermaid’s former first mate with the little rascal, displaying power before the entire archipelago, was more impressive.

At this point, the girl’s taut heartstrings finally truly relaxed, even having leisure to compete with that person or smile, because she knew she wouldn’t lose track again.

She wouldn’t lose him again.

She had seen the scenery he witnessed, seen the night – everything had come true.

His promise should be the same.

The “chase and escape” continued.

The situation of night pausing temporarily and different realms suddenly appearing also occurred repeatedly during this period.

Sometimes it stopped at the side rail, sometimes it simply leaped onto reefs. The most exaggerated time it even summoned blazing lightning that wound through fog and sky.

And in the varied scenes that appeared, Roy experienced firsthand the incomparably legendary and magnificent life of that night curtain from youth to young adulthood.

She saw the night ring fall from heaven, saw doors broken and heads severed, saw the great and glorious figure of her father shining like the sun, then the pursuit, then her own reflection.

Those were all extremely exciting, captivating stories, but then came a sudden turning point.

The turning point began in a legendary meeting, then fell in the Death Silence Triangle.

The final several segments of light and shadow truly completed the details the girl didn’t know.

Revealing the answers to countless questions.

Only then did she know what exactly he had done when she fell from the sky.

He shot down the devil’s spy with one shot. He calmly and proudly raised his face to look at the eyes in the sky, to look at the specter. Even covered in blood, even as the giant mouth reeking of decay bit down, he never lowered his head.

Then came the deepest night, the warmest fire.

He died there, falling toward the underworld.

That really was a very dark, very dark place. Besides that color, there was nothing else, not even cold. He kept falling down, down.

Until a pair of indifferent eyes saw him, a pair of vile hands brought him back.

So he lived again unconsciously. When he opened his eyes, he saw his own ship, the picturesque quiet fog, but different from what she and everyone saw…

In that hazy mist, occasionally black silk ribbons flowed through, spreading in all directions.

Everywhere was night.
