"What did you say?!" Luca's eyes nearly bulged out when he heard the black skull's words.
Levin Barnes? Wasn't this guy already dead over a decade ago?
"No need to be so surprised," the black skull—now identified as Levin—said, sensing Luca's shock. "Right now, I might as well be dead. If I were to leave this ship, my consciousness would vanish completely." Levin gestured at the decaying wooden walls. "This ship saved me once, but it also trapped me in the Underworld, preventing me from returning to the real world."
"If it weren't for all the noise you guys made, I probably wouldn't even have known that such a major change was happening outside."
It seemed that Levin was already aware of what was going on in the world outside.
Luca suddenly remembered something and asked, "So, you were the one who saved Ellie and the others?"
