Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 198
[Chapter 198 Sunny]
the sun is shining brightly outside the window. The extremely bad weather before seems to be just a distant dream. Only the remaining water marks on the window sill and the wet ground on the street prove that a rainstorm did fall late last night A heavy rain – and this sunny day after the rain seems to be suitable for snoozing at home.
But Shirley has had enough sleep, she has never slept for such a long time at one breath, and she is a little hungry, which urges her to get up quickly.
Because lying in bed hungry is not a very pleasant memory for her – when she was younger, she used to sleep through the hungriest night, and if it wasn’t for Agou’s awakening and support , she may have left this world on a certain cold and hungry winter night.
When hunger exceeds a certain critical point, people will rub shoulders with death in sleep, which is one of Shirley’s valuable life experiences.
She left the soft and comfortable bed, got up and changed her clothes, and at this moment, a burst of brisk footsteps came from outside the door.
“Shirley! Are you awake? I heard movement!”
It was Nina’s voice.
Shirley was stunned for a moment, and quickly agreed: “I’m awake.”
The door was pushed open, and Nina, who was wearing a white shirt, short coat and light brown plaid skirt, appeared at the door, and she saw Shirley who had just changed her clothes at a glance , with a smile on his face, and then walked over quickly: “You have slept for a long time! How do you feel now? Does your back still hurt? How is the wound… Let me see let me see…”
” It was a bit exhausting, so I slept for a long time…I’m fine, really,” Shirley dodged the overly enthusiastic Nina awkwardly, but her dodge and resistance in front of Nina, who was usually so powerful, seemed There was no strength, and finally turned around obediently, letting Nina check the injuries on her back and arms, “It’s just a small injury, I… have a strong recovery ability, and… oh, it’s so itchy, Don’t… itchy haha…”
“It’s really healed!” Nina finally let go of Shirley, who had started to jump and dodge to the side. She looked at her friend in amazement, as if she was observing some rare creature, “Last night There was such a big wound when I was born, but now it has not only disappeared, but there is no scar left… How did you do it?” “Didn’t I say that
I live with the deep demon, and the characteristic of Agou is tenacity body and regenerative ability,” Shirley adjusted her dress—the dress she was wearing yesterday had been destroyed in the battle, and this was another old dress she brought from home at this moment, which was also considered to be the result of the attack. One of the only belongings she rescued later, “Actually, my regenerative ability can be stronger, but Agou said that I am malnourished, and my regenerative ability is also compromised…” “Then you have to eat well
here , Uncle’s craftsmanship is really good now,” Nina said immediately, and then she was a little curious, “Well… all people like you… I mean, are people who live with the deep demons all so powerful? “
It depends on what kind of demon you are co-existing with – the words of the deep hound will bring toughness and regeneration ability, as well as a certain enhancement of perception ability, and the regeneration of terror is willpower and resistance to spiritual pollution. All kinds of demons, I can’t tell…Anyway, the symbionts of the deep demons are the supernatural beings with the most messy abilities. In order to be able to move in the real dimension, those demons have always been very generous to their symbionts…”
Speaking Shirley suddenly paused, her expression became serious, she looked into Nina’s eyes: “Speaking of which, I suggest you not get too involved in this field… You should already know that, under normal circumstances, you Those who co-exist with the deep demons are all lunatics from the Annihilation Sect, they are different from me, and their demons are also different from Agou.” “I know, I know,
I’m not a child,” Nina quickly waved her hands, but still I couldn’t hide my curiosity, “But have you seen other demon symbiotes? I mean those annihilation believers…” “I haven’t seen it, and I don’t want to see it. It’s
disgusting enough to hear Agou’s description, and I will definitely know it if I see it.” Give them a… beat up and report to the sheriffs,” Shirley said, frowning, “Nina, you have a lot of questions today… You didn’t ask so many questions when you saw Agou before, Besides, you don’t have to go to school today?”
“You will live in my house from now on, so of course you need to know more about you. I heard from my uncle that your house was destroyed by a gas explosion, and you have nowhere to go…” Nina said seriously As he spoke, he took Shirley by the hand and walked out, “Besides, the school is on vacation. Don’t you know about the nearly two-month vacation?” “I don’t know,
I never went to school…” Shirley Muttering subconsciously, Nina dragged her out the door and walked towards the kitchen where the smell of food was wafting. She noticed that the entire second floor was quiet, and she couldn’t help being curious, “Is Mr. Duncan not here?
” Uncle went to the first floor, and he said he wanted to entertain someone, let us have dinner on the second floor first,” Nina explained, and she dragged Shirley to the kitchen door, but then she seemed to remember something, and quickly pulled Shirley towards the kitchen door. Walking in the direction of the bathroom, “Oh, yes, wash your hands. You should wash your hands before eating, or uncle should talk about it again.
” She didn’t know whether it was because she was hungry or because she had slept too long, and she felt dizzy, but… this feeling seemed good.
At the same time, beside the counter on the first floor of the antique shop, Duncan was explaining something to the person opposite in detail, and sitting opposite him was a woman wearing a delicate and elegant long skirt, a fine check veil, and long golden hair. Beautiful young lady with long hair and dignified features.
The dignified and beautiful blond lady (×)
is Alice wearing a wig (√)
“…It’s almost like this. There are a lot of common sense that you need to know to live in human society, but you can understand the most basic part. Your current scope of activities is enough, and there are very few things you have to do in this store, just get familiar with the simplest things first, such as cleaning and organizing shelves,” Duncan finally explained what to pay attention to here However, she still looked worriedly at the blond girl sitting in front of her, “…Do you still remember what I taught you on the boat?” “I remember!”
Alice nodded vigorously, but she just nodded. As if thinking of something, he quickly reduced his nodding, and nodded slightly in a very dignified and elegant posture, “Don’t worry, I remember clearly!”
“Yes, the nodding should be small. It seems that at least you have remembered this.” Duncan breathed out, his gaze swept over Alice, and he checked the details again.
Covered the original silver long hair with a golden wig, slightly made up to adjust the details of the appearance, and covered the lower half of the face with a veil, wore long white silk gloves on the hands, and specially wore a lace decoration around the neck neck ring to conceal its special articulation details.
Basically all the parts that can be camouflaged are camouflaged.
Of course, if someone who really knows the Frost Queen Lei Nora is standing here, or someone who has observed Anomaly 099 at close range with his own eyes, he may still be able to see this “blonde” from the details of his eyebrows and eyes. “Girl” looks suspicious, but the probability is almost negligible.
The Frost Queen was already half a century ago, and it is almost impossible for people who have had close contact with Anomaly 099 to be alive.
Ordinary people, even the guards of the church, would definitely not recognize Alice at this moment as the cursed puppet that was out of control.
Duncan couldn’t help but sigh softly again.
In fact, he originally planned to wait for a while before letting Alice come to the human city-state to “see the world”. He planned to stay a few more days for the puppet to make up lessons on the boat, but he couldn’t bear it. Looking at the sad look in the distance and muttering about nothing, he still moved this time forward a bit.
It’s just that within the scope of his ability, he still gave this guy some emergency common sense, and instilled in her the most basic “three views of normality”, reckoning… it should be enough.
perhaps.
Now Nina and Shirley are eating upstairs, he caught a timing and asked Ai to send the doll from the boat to the store to familiarize himself with the environment. The first thing Alice did when she came here was to feel around curiously. It took a lot of effort to “press” the guy to the counter, but even so, he could see that the doll’s attention was almost completely absent from his lecture.
She began to look around again, although she tried her best to maintain a posture of sitting upright, but her eyes that were rolling around and her neck that was moving could not be concealed from others.
Combining the dignified and elegant sitting posture with the restless eyes, Duncan can only say that he is indeed Alice—the two states of elegance and naivety can appear in a superimposed state at the same time in one person… and after a
while After looking around, her attention finally returned to Duncan, with undisguised concern and… curiosity in her eyes.
