Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 265
[Chapter 265 Captain’s Warning]
In all fairness, Fanna has hardly been afraid of anything in her life, but that Captain Duncan Abnomal… always seems to bring her various “unexpected situations”.
A room sealed off by dreams, the boundless dark sea outside the window, a strange light hanging high in the sky, under the silent night, someone knocked on the door.
Fan Na almost subconsciously wanted to condense her giant sword in the dream, and slash towards the door—fortunately, she controlled this impulse at the last second.
“Boom boom boom”.
The knock on the door still came slowly, with full patience and politeness.
Fan Na took several deep breaths, not knowing what expression to show at this moment, so she could only sullenly try to make her tone look normal: “Please come in.” There was a light click, and the handle was turned, and the dark wooden door opened
. After being pushed away from the outside, an extremely tall and majestic figure appeared in front of Fan Na, and walked into the room.
And behind this figure, there is a piece of pure darkness, just like the edge of a dream—beyond the edge, there is “nothingness” without any entity.
Duncan walked into the room and gave Fanna a friendly smile: “Good afternoon, Fanna—I knocked on the door this time.”
Fanna looked at the ghost captain who was entering the room without saying a word, and looked The other party walked to the wine cabinet next to him, took out the wine bottle and two wine glasses from it, and watched the other party come to the table unhurriedly, and sat down on the armchair.
“Why don’t you come and have a seat?” Duncan raised his eyebrows and glanced at the young judge who was still standing near the window, indicating the empty seat on the opposite side of the table, “Your expression is not very good.” Fan Na hesitated, and
finally With a strange look on his face, he came across from Duncan, sat cautiously on the chair while watching the other party’s movement of pouring wine, and then sighed after a long time: “Don’t you think this is more scary?”
“Is that so?” Duncan looked at Fanna in surprise, then at the dream that he had spent a long time in arranging, looking at the warm everyday furnishings and the friendly wine glass in his hand, he wrinkled uncertainly. Frowning, “Then I’ll try a brighter color next time…”
“I don’t think it’s a color…” Fan Na felt her eyebrows tremble, but then she didn’t know what to think, and sighed dumbfoundedly. “Well, at least I feel that I really feel your ‘goodwill’… This kindness is a bit scary, but I can more or less confirm its authenticity.”
Duncan pushed a glass of wine over: “It seems to be Good job.”
“Thank you,” Fan Na took the wine glass, looked hesitantly at the clear golden-red liquid inside, hesitated for a long time and put it aside for the time being, then she raised her eyes and looked at the captain opposite, “Here is another dream—is it a certain room on the Lost Home?”
“There are some references, but not entirely, I arranged it according to my personal preferences,” Duncan said unhurriedly, “Actually, I I’m not very good at weaving dreams, I prefer to directly enter ready-made dreams, but you sleep very restlessly, and the dreams are broken and messy, so I prepared a place for you to rest well.” Fanna didn’t care about Duncan’s
words In the last sentence, she just turned her head and glanced out of the window, asking her biggest question: “What is that glowing thing in the sky outside? It’s also your ‘personal preference’?” Duncan was silent for a while, his eyes looking out of the
window , was silent for a long time in the moonlight before sighing and shaking his head: “That’s right – I don’t like the too pale and cold shimmer of World Creation, it’s not soft enough, and it makes people feel full of malice. As for now The one you saw…you can call it ‘Moon’.”
“‘Moon’…” Fanna repeated this weird word that seemed to be a direct transliteration from an unknown language, “it’s really a mouthful.” “
You Are you interested in it?” Duncan looked at Fan Na with a half-smile, “Then I can tell you the story behind this name…”
As a result, before he finished speaking, Fan Na was shocked: “No !Thanks!”
“…Well, it’s always like this,” Duncan shrugged, and said indifferently, “actually, it’s just some of the most common things, and has nothing to do with the subspace.” “Sorry, I believe you are very friendly,
but …just treat me as a coward,” Fanna said awkwardly, after so many contacts and a series of incidents, her vigilance and vigilance towards this ghost captain has actually subtly changed a lot, But no matter what, even from a logical and rational point of view, she didn’t dare to just listen to the “knowledge” from the subspace returnee, “Let’s talk about something else, why did you find me?” “Two
things “Things,” Duncan looked into Fanna’s eyes, “First, thank you for taking care of Tirian these two days, he seems to be enjoying his stay in Prand.” “Captain Tirian?” Fanna’s heart moved
, Suddenly realized something, “Have you been paying attention to…”
“Yes, I have been paying attention to this matter,” Duncan said with emotion in his tone, “He has been wandering in the north for many years, and he has also been infected with the smell of pirates , usually accompanied by a group of undead sailors, his social habits are extremely unhealthy, coupled with the old incident of Frost, people have to worry about his mental state—in order to avoid becoming a lonely, weird and cynical weirdo, He needs some healthy and orderly interpersonal relationships…”
Duncan’s words are basically nonsense, just to further consolidate his image of “regaining humanity, rationality and sobriety” so as to facilitate dealing with Fanna and the “ordered civilization” behind her , but Fan Na didn’t think it was nonsense, Miss Judge listened to the ghost captain talking to her like an old father, and after a long while, she couldn’t hold back a sentence: “You…you care about him… …”
Duncan said seriously, “Family members caring for each other is the first step to maintain family harmony.” “
…But you almost blew up the Seamist into a pile of scrap iron.” Fanna reminded cautiously.
Duncan was still serious: “Proper education and guidance is the second step.”
Fanna: “…”
Weird, out of harmony, and weird everywhere, Fan Na felt more and more that the communication process between herself and Captain Duncan was full of indescribable weird feelings, but for some reason, in this weird and out of harmony conversation, she really felt… …the ghost captain comes to life.
She had no choice but to shake her head, and temporarily put this sudden thought aside: “Then what about the second thing you said?” “The
second thing,” Duncan straightened his expression and became a little serious , “It’s about the sun—have you noticed its changes?”
The sound of the waves outside the window gradually became quieter at some point, like a distant whisper, and the breeze blowing into the room also became indistinct.
When Fan Na heard the other party mention the “sun”, her eyes changed slightly: “Are you referring to the sunrise that was delayed by fifteen minutes before, or…” “There is a gap in
its outer rune ring,” Duncan said. , “Looking at your expressions, you should have noticed it too.”
Fan Na was silent for two or three seconds before she nodded lightly: “It’s hard not to notice—although it’s just a gap that’s hard to detect with the naked eye, it has been there for thousands of years. , there are always vigilant eyes watching the operation of vision 001, and the church immediately noticed this disturbing situation.” “Will the
guards never relax… I have a better impression of you, “Duncan said, and suddenly asked, “
Then what do you think about it?” Report the observed situation, we are not a research facility, and we can’t think of any way to intervene in the operation of Vision 001.”
She thought about this for a while, and then shook her head with some uncertainty: “Perhaps, even the storm The church will not give a very clear feedback, Vision 001… Its operation affects the whole world, and its abnormality, not only alarms a church in the deep sea.” Fan Na seemed to suddenly realize something, looked
up Looking at Duncan: “You suddenly asked me to talk about this matter, do you know something? Do you know what happened to Vision 001?”
Duncan didn’t answer right away.
He involuntarily recalled the brief strange dream he had had in his mind.
In the dream, a huge light body fell like a meteor shower, and the whole world gradually fell into darkness. In the end, there was only a terrifying darkness in the sky, which looked like a hollow, or a dying eyeball.
At that time, he didn’t comprehend anything from this dream, but now, he seems to have caught a glimpse of an omen from this dream.
“Even I’m not sure, Fanna,” he finally broke the silence, looking into Fanna’s eyes calmly, “but I think, this should be just the beginning.” A chill slowly spread down the back, and Fanna
felt I saw some kind of extremely disturbing information from the other party’s eyes: “Just the beginning?” “
I don’t have enough evidence now, but I guess, there is actually a ‘lifespan’ in Anomaly 001,” Duncan said. He said solemnly, “What the ancient kingdom of Crete left to future generations is not an eternal shelter, but only a temporary peace. The sun above our heads… is probably about to break down.” As for when this evidence will
come …”
Duncan paused, and said leisurely:
“Maybe there will be huge pieces falling from the sky, and that is the ticking sound of the countdown.
“It’s more likely that the first fragment has fallen now, but it just fell out of sight of the civilized world.”
Chill and uneasiness spread in the bottom of her heart, Fan Na’s eyes drooped slightly, covering all the changes in her eyes, And her hand slowly picked up the wine glass next to her, and subconsciously brought it to her mouth, as if she wanted to use alcohol to calm her mood.
She took a sip, frowned slightly, and looked up at Duncan, “There’s no taste…” “
Of course there’s no taste,” Duncan laughed, and slightly raised his glass to Fan Na, “Because you’re about to wake up.”
Fan Na suddenly opened her eyes. Eyes opened.
She was still sitting in the moving steam car, and the cathedral’s tower and main building appeared in her vision.
Panting slightly, she heard the voice of her subordinates coming from the front: “Ah, you are awake, just in time, the cathedral is coming soon.”
