Chapter 543 - 543 544 Near Dusk
?Chapter 543: Chapter 544 Near Dusk Chapter 543: Chapter 544 Near Dusk The captain’s quarters were plunged into silence.
Duncan still stared fixedly at the massive, eerie eyeball sketched on the draft paper—
It was rendered in a nearly mad, messy stroke, yet it was unbelievably accurate and lifelike, such that anyone would understand the meaning of each line in the drawing with just one glance, as though the true message was woven into every element that constituted the image.
Within those mad, messy strokes, the enormous eyeball’s pupil was profound, and the surrounding structure of blood vessels and nerve plexus was faintly discernible; outside the eyeball, a layer of dim material was unmistakably covering it. Taran El used many fine lines to depict the material that covered the eyeball, seemingly striving to restore what exactly it was, and the only information Duncan received from the drawing was that it was a “shell layer with a complex structure.”
It was an eye encapsulated in an outer shell that seemed as precious as a gemstone.
From nearby came the squeaking and creaking noises as the goat head at the edge of the nautical chart table turned its head extremely restlessly, as if wanting to glimpse the content on the paper but hesitating.
After a long time, it timidly spoke, “Captain… what exactly is that?”
“It’s an eye,” Duncan quietly reflected for a few seconds, and began to thoughtfully explain the contents of the draft paper to the goat head, “Structurally, it looks a lot like a human eye, with discernible blood vessels and nerve plexuses; it’s encapsulated within a spherical shell that seems like a man-made object…”
Listening to Duncan’s description, the goat head was for the first time ever so quiet.
After a long while, it moved clatteringly, emitting an extremely uneasy noise: “This is really… a terrifying spectacle… The true appearance of Anomaly 001 is such a colossal eyeball?! Then… didn’t many people during the sun’s extinction period…”
“There probably weren’t many who actually saw this scene,” Duncan slowly shook his head,” During the sun’s extinction period, we too looked up at the sky, but all we saw was a sphere completely engulfed in darkness, whose details couldn’t be directly observed—this drawing also depicts it; the eyeball is ‘encapsulated’ within a vast container.
