Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 200

[Chapter 200 The Vigilance of Historians]

Duncan felt that he had been careless.

He only thought about Alice’s lack of common sense to live in the human world, but he never thought about the extent to which this lack of common sense can reach. Money does not know.

But it’s quite reasonable.

After all, she doesn’t need to spend money lying in the coffin…

“Hey… I’ll continue to make up lessons with you while Shirley and Nina are away,” Duncan sighed, and reluctantly gave up on going out for a walk in the afternoon. Plan, “First of all, I need to let you know the most basic things in the human world, such as currency…”

He paused, then sighed: “Hey, looking back, I really want to give you and Shirley some money.” A literacy cram school will do.”

“Oh, Shirley, that’s the short girl just now, isn’t it?” Alice immediately checked the number with a happy face, and it seemed to her that she could get to know someone new. It’s something to be happy about, “I heard you say that she’s a…what’s your name, ‘illiterate’, right?” “That’s not

something to be happy about!” Duncan knocked on the table, “and even Shirley is better than you—at least she knows how to evade fares in the car!”

Alice: “What is fare evasion?”

Duncan: “…”

…

Heidi sneezed solidly.

She got up and closed the window of the living room, rubbed her nose and muttered about the recent hot and cold weather, then raised her head worriedly, and looked at her father who was sitting at the coffee table not far away.

The school is already on vacation, and the annual autumn vacation of the public schools in Purland lasts for more than two months. During this period, my father does not have to go to school to report, and there is no social entertainment on weekdays, so he usually spends time in the city-state at this time in previous years In the major libraries, they either stay at home and spend their days leisurely like today.

But for some reason, Morris’s state today looks quite wrong.

He is holding a newspaper, but his eyes are not focused on the newspaper at all. He has been sitting on the sofa and has maintained that stiff posture for nearly an hour. He seems to have been thinking about something, even the daytime maid just now inquiries were not responded to.

Heidi frowned.

It seems that since he came back from Mr. Duncan’s antique shop, his father has been in this state, in a trance, occasionally showing strange expressions, ignoring others, and contemplating.

Didn’t even go to the study – as if instinctively resisting books.

“Are you okay?” Heidi finally couldn’t hold back, got up and came to Morris, bent down and asked with concern, “Are you feeling well?” After asking

twice in a row, Morris finally heard her daughter’s voice , He hurriedly raised his head, feeling the buzz in his head subsided a little before he waved his hand: “I’m fine… Oh, you didn’t go to the church or the city hall today? You didn’t go to the clinic either?” “The work of the church and the city hall is

early It’s over, and the clinic is closed today.” Heidi’s brows did not stretch, “I remember you asked me this morning.” “Oh,

yes, I forgot.”

Morris tapped his temple lightly, He said with some hesitation.

He knew his condition was not very good, but he couldn’t explain it to his daughter.

He couldn’t freely disclose information about the existence of a subspace – not only because it might offend that “Mr. Duncan”, but also because the information would be polluted and affect Heidi.

A low humming sounded in his head, which interrupted Morris’s thinking, but the noise soon subsided, and his thoughts stabilized again.

Thought noise, after returning from the antique shop.

But in fact, compared with yesterday, this sequelae has been weakened by an unknown number of times.

Morris knew that he should be thankful—he not only saved his life after facing the shadow of the subspace, but even saved his sanity. It was the protection of the God of Wisdom and the goodwill of “Mr. Some symptoms caused by “critical madness” were left behind, but after a simple self-judgment, he confirmed that these symptoms would quickly alleviate over time, and there was nothing to be nervous about.

But before the symptoms completely disappeared, Heidi might have to worry about her poor state for a while.

Morris frowned suddenly. He remembered that his daughter was an excellent psychiatrist—she couldn’t continue to notice that his mental state was different.

At this moment, Heidi’s voice came again: “Did you talk to Mr. Duncan yesterday? I feel that you are always absent-minded after you come back…” “

Some… topics in the field of knowledge, very profound knowledge , “Information about the “creeping sun disc” popped up irresistibly in Morris’s mind, recalling the information that Mr. Duncan revealed to him about the current situation of the black sun, he used great perseverance to control it These “knowledges” that seem to have independent lives are drilling around in the sea of your own consciousness, and she smiled at Heidi, “It’s a lot of thinking, I haven’t figured it out yet, so I always lose my mind today… let’s not talk about this Yes, I suddenly remembered, didn’t you make an appointment with your friend to go to the theater on the day off?”

Heidi was startled for a moment: “… friend? I don’t remember… Which friend did you make an appointment to go to the theater… Did you remember wrongly?”

“I remember wrongly?” Morris rubbed his temples, for some reason, he suddenly felt a throbbing heat near his temples, and his memory was blurred, as if something had been forgotten Something is waking up in my own consciousness, “But I clearly remember that you said the day before yesterday that there was a friend…what’s his name, a very tall one, who is very familiar with me…”

Morris rubbing his temples gradually became irritable, and began to lightly tap his forehead with his fist, muttering in his mouth, which made Heidi, who was just a little confused, feel inexplicably nervous, and she quickly squatted down and held it. The old man’s hand: “Are you okay? Do you have a headache? Do you want… I will give you a hypnotic relaxation or calming guide? Or find another doctor…” “I don’t need a doctor, I don’t need it,” Morris waved

vigorously With one move, noise appeared in his mind again, but this time the noise was different from the previous “thought noise”. Another consciousness awakened in his mind—that consciousness was still himself, but there was a subtle deviation from his current thinking, “I just need to recall, recall a very important thing… Heidi, You have a friend, listen, you have a friend, it’s very important…”

The worry and tension on Heidi’s face became more and more serious, she clenched Morris’ other hand tightly, unconsciously bringing With the power of Anshen’s guidance: “Of course I have friends, but which one are you talking about…”

Morris could no longer hear what Heidi said.

He felt a sudden roar in his mind, which was the sound that all the noise was compressed into for an instant, and then, the thinking noise that had troubled him for a long time completely disappeared, and a large number of strange memories emerged from the depths of his consciousness It surged out, and he seemed to see that scene again in a trance—a giant, full of starlight, a giant twisted and fused by crushed mirrors, and then he saw green flames, the flames burned, and the mist Paused.

This time, his sanity was not damaged by witnessing the giant. On the contrary, the impression that appeared in his mind seemed to break through an invisible curtain with inexplicable power.

The old man suddenly raised his head and stared into Heidi’s eyes: “Where is Fanna?”

Heidi was taken aback: “…Who is Fanna?”

“The judge of the city-state, one of your best friends, the niece of the Consul Dante…” Morris said slowly, his breath had stabilized, his eyes had returned to the depth and sharpness of the past, and the noise disappeared The figure of the giant also disappeared, only two simultaneous and completely different memories remained in his mind, and he could clearly identify all the differences in those memories, as if he was reading two copies in front of him. The ancient scrolls of history—distinguishing history and finding the truth, this is one of his best things, “You don’t remember, do you?” Heidi hesitated: “I… don’t know

who you are talking about, But your condition worries me…”

“Don’t worry about me, I’m in very good condition now, but we should worry about Vanna,” Morris suddenly stood up with a more serious expression than ever, “Heidi, we There may be a big problem in the city-state, and we have to act.”

Heidi subconsciously stood up, and she could feel that her father’s spirit had inexplicably cheered up, but she didn’t know what happened: “Action? What to do?” “You

go Cathedral, go to Bishop Valentine and tell him…” Morris spoke quickly, but stopped in the middle of the speech, and after weighing nervously and seriously, he shook his head, “No, it’s possible that something happened to Vanna. It is also because you have noticed the truth… When you found Bishop Valentine, you said that you wanted to seek asylum, the highest level of asylum, and you told him that it was I who asked you to do this. Do this, don’t say anything else…”

Heidi listened in a daze, she had already sensed that something dangerous and urgent might be happening, and these things could not be said directly, so she refrained from asking questions Impulsive, ready to follow her father’s instructions, but then she noticed that Morris picked up the coat next to her, and suddenly opened her eyes slightly: “What about you? Then what are you going to do?” “

… Go to the antique shop.” Morris said in a deep voice.
