Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 426

[Chapter 424 Moving Forward]

is the deep and dark seabed. Under the city-state, the ancient gods penetrated his tentacles into the real world, and grew day by day in the indescribable darkness—he is visible, the filthy and

terrifying The flesh and blood tentacles are his entity, cold and chilling, but he is invisible, because his will to spread upward has already crossed the dark abyss, and penetrated the thick rock and soil of the city-state, which is unimaginable In the past fifty years, or even longer years, the mighty energy has been drilling into this city, and piercing deeply into the depths of this boiling gold mine.

“Ms. Gatekeeper, we are now inside it – this was once a rock, but the power of the ancient god has transformed the rock here into a part of his flesh and blood, this dark matter is separated by a depth of more than a thousand meters. The rocks and sea water are pulsating together with the source of the seabed, and every beat of it is bringing the mirrored city-state closer to our real world… Did you hear that? Plop, plop… The flesh and blood are wriggling and shrinking, I’m talking in my sleep, this place… I’m thinking.”

Winston murmured softly like a prayer, slowly raised his hands, and pointed to the endless darkness around him as if embracing, and the thorny bushes in the darkness that criss-crossed and connected like bushes. Among the branches, dim light spots are still moving quickly like fireflies. Gradually, Agatha really seems to hear the deep voice——plop, plop

… In the Boiling Gold Mine, the anomalous area of unknown size is making the sound of a heartbeat.

Even my own heart seemed to be affected by the sound of the heartbeat, wanting to resonate and beat.

However, a weak warm current suddenly appeared in her heart, which made Agatha wake up suddenly. She realized that her humanity had just returned from the critical point of madness, and her expression changed immediately, and she stared firmly into Winston’s eyes.

“You are out of your mind, Consul Winston—you are affected by this place.”

“Ah…really? Maybe,” Winston just waved his hand indifferently, “At first I thought I could calm the ancient god like a queen, and then I thought I could at least delay it for a while.” For a while, I thought I could at least stay awake until the end, but it turns out that… I have failed unknowingly?” “

Like a queen, quiet this ancient god?” Agatha keenly noticed the consul’s words At the key point, her eyes suddenly changed slightly, and she vaguely realized the real reason for the consul’s presence here, “You mean, the Frost Queen half a century ago successfully put the power of the Holy Lord Youshen into a deep sleep? “

Winston laughed: “…Do you think, what happened to the collapse of the sea cliff back then?”

Agatha was stunned for a moment, and hesitated to say: “The sea cliff collapsed… After the Queen was beheaded, the entire execution ground fell to the ground.” Into the sea… Wasn’t that an accident?!”

“It was a sacrifice, the sacrifice was the queen herself, and the first batch of speculators who chose to betray her after the outbreak of the uprising—of course, the entire executioner The group and many rebel officers buried her with her,” Winston said calmly, “We have blocked the detailed information of the year, so few people know the details after the collapse of the sea cliff—thousands of people died in that accident, But in fact, almost all the civilians survived the collapse, and those who were caught in the waves… Even if they were only one meter away from the shore, they had no chance of struggling, and were instantly caught by’ Sucked into the seabed.

” After that collapse, the abnormal area in the Boiling Gold Mine stopped expanding for a while, and it wasn’t until then that the first consul realized that everything was in Le Nora’s plan— —The cold truth was transferred to the Archon through the key left by the queen, as she said, now it is our turn. Agatha

fell silent, and after a while, her eyes became a bit complicated: “You came here because you wanted to reproduce the sacrifice that year…”

“‘He’ is rising, and the knowledge contained in the key tells me that to suppress this process, you must touch the mind of ‘His’. Fifty years ago, His power was still sleeping in the deep sea, so the Queen can only put herself Sacrifice to the deep sea, and up to now, his power has penetrated deeply into the city-state, so this is the best place to touch-this is the method left by the queen in the key, and every consul after taking the key , will be entangled in this responsibility, and then prepare for it for the rest of my life, and I have prepared everything for it, but I did not expect one thing…”

Winston twitched the corners of his mouth, which was not really a smile .

“It’s not all of them, it’s all Ray Nora.”

Agatha listened silently, then lowered her head, quietly staring at the brass key still lying in her hand.

This is something created by the Frost Queen with some extraordinary power—she condenses the “knowledge” she touched and a part of her “thoughts” inside the key in the form of an entity.

But for some reason, Agatha always felt that this key…should have other functions.

It should not only exist to tie the successive rulers of the Frost City State to a responsibility.

But at this moment, the Consul Winston obviously couldn’t answer her more questions—and she herself seemed to have no way to go back.

After learning the truth about this dark space, Agatha understood this point: she didn’t pass through that stone wall to reach a certain place, but was directly integrated into a huge lump of abnormal matter.

What awaits Winston here is death, but what awaits him is return and assimilation.

She looked at the palm of her hand, and saw that the skin where her hand was in contact with the key had faintly softened and deformed, and some sticky black substance was oozing out of the skin, covering the key little by little.

But she still wants to go further, she is a little… curious about this place.

“Is there anything else we can do?” Agatha lowered her head and looked at the city-state consul who had stopped speaking. “Are you going to wait here until death comes?”

“Death has come, ma’am—we’re just looking back at our failed lives before we breathe our last breath,” Winston shook his head. “There’s nothing to do, sit down and rest like I did.” Right.”

“…You have actually done what you should do. As the consul of Frost, you have at least bravely faced this so-called ‘curse’,” Agatha said calmly, “If you can’t do it, it doesn’t mean Nothing.”

Winston just shrugged his shoulders mockingly, “Incompetence is a sin.”

“…I still have to go forward, I want to go through this ‘thorns’, to the place where the tentacle is. place,” said Agatha, “will you come with me?”

“It means nothing to me, ma’am,” said Winston softly, “if you want to go, go and let me stay Here—my way is over.”

Agatha stared at him for a few seconds, then handed over the brass key: “This is yours.”

Winston did not reach out, but raised his head, staring at him. Looking into Agatha’s eyes: “Take it, you have already taken it, it is yours, and this is how we have passed it on to this day.”

Agatha was silent for a moment, and put the key away.

“Okay, then I’m on my way alone.”

She said goodbye to Winston, then turned around, propped up her cane, and took steps in this dark and empty space.

“Ms. Agatha,” Winston’s voice suddenly came from behind, “does this really make sense?”

Agatha turned her head slightly: “Why do you ask?”

“Even if you know more The truth, even if you can really go through this ‘grove’ and touch the limb of the ancient god, what can you change? You can’t stop all of this, and you can’t even pass on what happened here to the outside world——Investigation has been done It’s over, if you can’t convey information, no matter how much you know, it doesn’t make any sense.”

Agatha stopped, and after thinking for a while, she said softly: “I am the gatekeeper of Frost, It’s my job. And…”

She paused, and unconsciously pressed her chest with the hand holding the brass key.

The surroundings are still very cold, and the feeling of blood congealing is stronger than ever, but for some reason, she has always felt a slight heat beating in her heart from just now, as if… there is a cluster of invisible waves jumping there. Huo Miao was supporting herself to move forward.

In my mind, thoughts that don’t belong to me are jumping lightly. The strongest thing in this thought is an obsession – the direction that the obsession points to is the illusory and extremely huge road outside this thorn bush. “Wrist touch”.

“It makes sense, I’m not alone – there’s no proof, but I think…what I’ve seen here will eventually be known.” “Oh yeah,

that’s nice… Ah Ms. Gaza, it is very admirable that you held your faith to the last moment.”

Winston’s voice stopped, and there was no further movement in that direction.

Agatha turned her head and saw a small lantern shining in the darkness, illuminating a dry “stump”. A middle-aged man in a dark blue coat was quietly leaning against the stump.

Bullet holes pierced his temples, and in his dropped hand he held a beautifully crafted revolver.
