Will the sun going out cause the teleportation spell to go out of control, making people disappear from the real world?

After hearing Lucrecia's analysis, Duncan was confused for a moment, but considering that there have been so many strange and bizarre things in this world, and the extinction of the sun is the strangest of all the bizarre events, it seems that nothing that happens at this time is worth being surprised - the most important thing now is to figure out where the "Truth Keeper" has gone.

At this moment, Duncan suddenly frowned, and then as if he heard some news from afar, his facial expression suddenly became a little strange.

Alice, who was closest to him, noticed it immediately: "Hey? Captain, what's wrong with you?"

Duncan raised his head and glanced at Lucretia and Morris who were discussing how to search for Ted with a subtle expression: "... Well, no need to look for him."

Lucrecia & Maurice: "Huh?"

"He's fine," Duncan waved his hand. "Ted Riel is on the White Oak now."

Everyone in the living room looked at each other in bewilderment. After a few seconds of silence, Vanna broke the silence: "...White Oak? Lawrence's ship? How did he get there?!"

"It's not clear yet. Even Ted Riel himself can't explain it clearly," Duncan exhaled, and kept in touch with Lawrence in his mind while talking casually, "Just like the last time, the White Oak was sailing on the sea when the sun went out. The sailors on the ship found Ted Riel drifting on the 'dark border' on the sea, and then Anomaly 077 fished him out... Lawrence said that Ted's mental state was very confused for a time, and he couldn't even talk to people. Now he has recovered. He seems to have gone to a very far place. Judging from those intermittent descriptions..."

Duncan paused here and his expression became slightly solemn.

"It's suspected to be subspace."

Ted Lear was wrapped in a thick blanket and sitting in the brightly lit cabin. Someone handed him a cup of hot tea that was still a little hot. He held the cup and looked up to say thank you: "Thank you."

The shriveled and scary corpse stood in front of him and waved its hands: "Just don't knock me out again next time - I don't know if my bones will ever grow back once they're broken."

Ted Riel's expression was a little interesting for a moment, as if he was recalling something not so wonderful. He awkwardly pulled the corners of his mouth at this "abnormal" who was obviously out of control but was moving around and working diligently on the White Oak like an ordinary crew member. In the end, he couldn't help but say, "Are you Abnormal 077-Sailor?"

"Hey, you know me?" The mummy seemed a little happy when he heard this, and said as he came closer, "Other ordinary people's first reaction when they see me is just fear, but you know my name and number?"

"...I am the keeper of the truth of Breeze Harbor," Ted Riel looked indifferently at the mummy that was sitting next to him, "I personally signed the documents for your transfer several years ago."

The mummy just sat down when it suddenly jumped up, stared at Ted Lear, and trembled with excitement: "You...you...you...you are from the church?! You..."

"Calm down, 'Mr. Mummy'," Ted Riel seemed to have anticipated the other party's reaction and said helplessly, "I know you are in a special situation of 'out of control abnormality' now. Don't worry, I won't force you to be sealed..."

Before he could finish his words, the mummy fell to the ground with a plop, stretched out its skinny hands to grab the edge of the blanket, and howled in a creepy way: "I've been waiting for someone from the church to come! Please seal me up! Just give me a rope that works! If all else fails, just give me a shroud and I can wrap myself... Or you can give me a harder blow than before..."

Ted never expected such a scene to happen. The howling noises of the mummy ghosts made him panic. He quickly retreated while pulling the blanket: "Stop, stop, stop... calm down... don't pull... that's not what I meant... I can talk about it but calm down first. You can't just say so to reseal it..."

But the mummy obviously didn't listen to what he said at all, but just kept howling. The movement of a "human" was as lively as the steam core room, muttering something like "re-seal", "give a rope", "hang it on the mast" and other messy things, highlighting the emotional pollution that was tearing apart the reason.

To be honest, after half a minute, Ted Riel even began to miss the group of "cute" students he taught - although they would often give him clear and stupid eyes, at least the worst thing they did in class was sleeping.

That would be much quieter than now.

Fortunately, the noise of the noisy mummy did not last long - before Ted Riel really began to consider whether to beat Anomaly 077 half to death for accepting his advice, the door of the cabin was pushed open.

Lawrence, with the faint green flame still burning on his body, pushed the door and walked in.

Abnormality 077, which had been howling like a ghost a second ago, suddenly became quiet, greeted the captain with a grin, and then disappeared in the room almost in the blink of an eye.

Ted stared in amazement at the direction where the "sailor" disappeared.

After a long while, he turned his head and looked at Lawrence: "I never thought that the 'sailor' who terrified countless navigators would be like this after losing control..."

Lawrence looked surprised: "Haven't you met Miss Alice?"

"...Okay, Captain, you make sense," Ted thought for a moment and waved his hand. "Anything that seems to have something to do with the Lost Homeland will become...unbelievable."

"Yes, it's incredible, but at least it's not bad," Lawrence laughed and walked over to say, "Don't pay attention to that neurotic mummy, and don't take his request to re-seal it seriously - he's just playing a joke. Although he did escape from reality at the beginning, he is actually quite comfortable on this ship now, but he doesn't want to admit it."

"It sounds like you already know a lot about Anomaly 077?"

"As for the captain's duties and basic qualities, I must know everyone on my ship, including that guy," Lawrence said, sitting down next to Ted. At the same time, he turned his head to observe the complexion of his "temporary passenger". "How do you feel, Mr. Secret Keeper?"

"I can still hear slight noises in my head occasionally, but it's much better than before," Ted exhaled. "The biggest problem now is that there are a lot of messed up memories going around in my head, all kinds of scenes - real, false, distorted by self-protection effects. It's hard for me to tell which one of them is credible... I feel like I've been traveling through that dark place for a century... But you tell me, I was only a dozen minutes away from Breeze Harbor?"

"Yes, more than ten minutes, Mr. Secret Keeper," Lawrence nodded. "When we fished you out, you were only missing from the portal for a short while. So, we really want to know what you experienced during that 'short while'."

"'We'?" Ted Riel noticed the captain's word with keen awareness.

"I just talked to my 'boss'. He already knows what happened here. The 'disappearance' of the Keeper of Truth caused some chaos in Breeze Harbor, but fortunately, the White Oak found you before the chaos escalated," Lawrence said. "Don't worry too much about the city-state. The Lost Homeland is near that city. There is no place safer than Breeze Harbor in this vast ocean. As for you here..."

The old captain paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then continued, "We are still not sure how much change this sun extinction has brought to the world. Trying to open the space channel again may be very dangerous, so you should stay on this ship peacefully. Take this opportunity to tell me what you saw in the 'darkness' - 'he' is very interested in this."

Ted Lear's expression gradually became serious.

After a moment's silence, he looked into the eyes of the old captain in front of him: "You should already know that my experience is related to the warp - this knowledge is not safe."

Laurence shrugged. "My boss is also involved with the Warp - he's even less secure in his knowledge than you are."

Ted thought about it and felt that the other party was right.

"…Okay, where should we start?"

"Let's start with the upside-down mansion that you mentioned in your daze just now, floating in the darkness..."

※※※

"Ted Riel was lucky. He survived the warp and recovered well. He is now telling Lawrence about his incredible experiences on the White Oak. Perhaps we will receive shocking intelligence about the warp soon."

Duncan temporarily ended the communication with the White Oak and turned his attention back to Breeze Harbor. He briefly described the current situation reported by Lawrence, and then his eyes fell on Lucrecia.

"From what I know now, his experience is different from mine."

"...After all, he was only 'away' for fifteen minutes, while you stayed in the warp for a century." Lucrecia's expression was obviously a bit complicated. "In just fifteen minutes, you have severely damaged the sanity of a saint and almost torn him into a warp rift...and he was even able to resist to the end under the influence of Silantis..."

"Fortunately, the only loss on the White Oak side was that Anomaly 077 was punched." Duncan waved his hand and quickly changed the subject. "Before we get more news from there, let's focus on the world after the sun goes out... Lucy, I want to know what that strange 'signal' is all about?"
