Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 439

[Chapter 437 After the Disaster]

the snow is falling heavily, not too big, but it seems that it will last for a long time. The sun’s brilliance is blocked by dark clouds, and the skylight that penetrates through it is not too bright, but it really exists .

Looking through the window facing the street, you can see that there are already pedestrians on the road-those who survived the disaster, the fear still remains in their eyes.

These terrified citizens came out of their hiding places, confirmed the existence of acquaintances on the street, or inquired about the whereabouts of missing persons, and asked if there was any new news from the upper city, and some people were still immersed in the mirror image invasion. Amidst the horror, he cowered in fear of every figure that walked in front of him, hurried out of the house, and locked himself back in the house in a hurry.

The scarred steam walker and the equally scarred city guards, sheriff troops, and guardian squads passed by the intersection. Their appearance can make many people feel at ease. The loudspeaker installed on the steam walker broadcasts the end of the vision. Announcement—The mirror image invasion has subsided, and the whole city will enter a state of 48-hour security control. During this period, the city-state authorities will regain control of the situation and clean up hidden dangers in the city. Material supplies, electricity, steam power and fresh water will be released on the 1st. It was restored in a short time, and all the blocks were notified to report the casualties as soon as possible… The

loudspeaker broadcast mixed with noise gradually faded away, and the poor sound quality made the bleak atmosphere on the street even more in this snowy day, but the steam walker passed by After the street, many people’s nerves did relax a little bit.

Shirley was lying in front of the window of the living room, looking at the scene on the street outside and muttering: “I don’t know how long the chaos will last… The price of bread will definitely increase.”

Nina sat on the sofa next to her, Zhang He pursed his mouth and blew hot air that could distort the air, and turned his head after hearing Shirley’s chanting: “It must be a mess for a while, it took three days for Purand to restore law and order—but it must be It won’t be too chaotic, after all, the sheriff’s troops are still there…”

“Hey! Don’t talk to me!” Shirley couldn’t stand due to the hot wind, she retreated from the window in embarrassment, and shouted at Nina while dodging, “You are blowing like the steam core is leaking Why is it so hot!”

Nina quickly put her hands in front of her mouth, and while the corners of her mouth were steaming, she apologized vaguely: “I’m sorry, I’ve been in that state for too long…” At this moment,

Duncan’s voice It came to the ears of the two girls: “As I said, Nina can only stay in the sky for a while now—her condition is not stable.” When

Shirley heard the voice, she quickly turned around and stood at attention. Na also jumped off the sofa, and ran towards Duncan with a smile, “Uncle Duncan!”

Duncan also laughed, and gently hugged Nina, who was steaming all over her body, then turned his head and faced the chair next to her. Morris and Fanna, who got up and bowed to themselves, nodded slightly in response: “It seems that you are both in good condition.” “You are in good condition

,” Morris helped his monocle, “and I was greatly shocked.”

“I thought my nerves were already thick enough after the big fire in Prand,” Fanna also said, with emotion and awe in her tone, “To be honest, it’s more exciting to talk to you like this. Relax—I mean, at normal ‘scale’.” “It’s enough to come here once in a while,” Duncan waved his hand,   ”

but one thing to say, the view from the sky is really impressive.”

As he spoke, his eyes noticed something on the dining table not far away.

It was a large book with a black cover, without any text symbols on the cover, and the whole book revealed a strange and dangerous atmosphere.

“This is the ‘Book of Blasphemy’ that you seized from that little leader of the Annihilation Sect?” Duncan’s eyes fell on the book, “It doesn’t look…it’s really not a serious book.”

“Yes,” Morris nodded, and stepped forward to pick up the book carefully, “Afterwards, I did some simple identification on the book under the premise of ensuring safety, and speculated that it should not be the ‘original’, but It is a copy held by a special member of the Annihilation Sect—because if it is the original, it should have stronger power and be more precious, and it is impossible for a small leader to casually bring it to the city-state. “

He paused for a moment, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone: “As for the function of this book…it may be used to spread teachings, or it may be used as a medium in spellcasting or rituals. The content related to the Lord, this part of the content should be used as a source of strength for those cultists, but the specific situation can only be guessed.”

While speaking, he handed the book over: “Do you want to read it now?”

“Take it back Let’s read it on the boat.” Duncan shook his head, “This city is still very chaotic, what might happen after I open this book, let’s make it less chaotic—and there will be guests soon.” “

Guests ?” Fan Na asked curiously, “Who will be there at this time?”

Duncan glanced at Fan Na, with a smile in his tone: “Your colleague, she is coming this way.”

After finishing speaking, He also didn’t care about Fanna’s suddenly strange expression, but he walked to the window facing the street and sat down on the sofa, with a gesture of waiting with peace of mind.

Footsteps sounded from beside her, and Alice walked in front of Duncan. Miss Doll had the same optimistic expression of not thinking about anything: “Captain! When are we going home? Go back after receiving the guests?” Duncan raised his face

. eyelid, and glanced at the solid-headed puppet: “Do you think… the things here are over?

” Is the rest of the people going to continue to take risks? I think that’s what the picture books say…”

Duncan’s mouth trembled, and he looked up at Alice: “What else did the picture books say?”

“The picture books also said that the prince I lived a happy life with the knight…”

Duncan: “…?”

He choked for a while, and finally spoke up: “Generally speaking, there should be a princess in this kind of picture book story…” “The

princess ran away with the housekeeper…”

Duncan After a few seconds of silence, he took a light breath.

“Where did this kind of picture book come from?”

Alice thought for a while, then raised her finger to Shirley: “There are so many in her room…”

The next second, before Duncan could speak, Shirley jumped up. Get up and rush towards the door: “I saw a second-hand bookstore that couldn’t keep going. Clearance books are very cheap, so I bought a bunch of them. Didn’t you tell me to read more books? It’s better to start with picture books. I didn’t expect it to be so strange. It’s none of my business…”

The girl ran across half of the living room crying and howling, before Duncan planned to teach her a lesson, she had already run to the door and pulled it away with a bang. After entering the gate, he lifted his legs and ran outside.

The next second, there was a bang from outside the door, followed by Shirley’s exclamation: “Fuck what the f*c*k…”

Almost everyone in the room was dumbfounded——Alice didn’t respond at all. What happened over here? Nina was taken aback by Shirley’s howling ghosts and wolves at close range. Fanna didn’t expect Shirley to be so courageous. Morris… this respected old gentleman is still immersed in the “princess and The housekeeper ran away” was shocked by the story.

Only Duncan was still sitting comfortably on the sofa, neither chasing Shirley nor curious about the movement coming from the door.

He just turned his head and looked towards the door.

Footsteps sounded, and a young lady walked in hesitantly.

She was wearing a black priest robe with the church logo, her eyes were covered with a thick layer of black cloth, her long hair was hanging behind her, and scars like cracks could still be seen on the bare skin on her arms and neck. The horrific wounds carried a holy aura like stigmata.

More importantly, she held Shirley who was baring her teeth and claws in her hand.

“Sorry,” Agatha raised her head, nervously “looking” at each figure in the room, “I wanted to knock on the door, but…she ran out suddenly.

” Scan the room.

In the faded houses showing a black, white and gray texture, figures exuding a strong sense of presence came into her “vision”——

she saw an old man with a dim outline, surrounded by a stream of colored light, and There are matrix-like light spots flickering in the old man’s body, it seems that Lahemu is looking at the world;

there is another tall figure standing beside the old man, the outline of the figure is dark and chaotic inside, full of reminiscent The ominous light and shadow of the subspace, but there is a faint green flame jumping between the light and shadow, maintaining the stability of the figure; a bunch of bright

arc-shaped flames stand near the window, the flame does not seem to have the power of the mysterious attribute, But it emits pure light and heat, just looking at it, it seems that the soul is being burned by it; there is also

an empty body standing in the room, and countless faint thin lines spread around the body , she seemed to be casting a curious gaze towards this side. Under the gaze of that gaze, Agatha even had a fear that her own soul would be captured by it and become one of the “thin threads”.

And among these figures, is the most powerful one.

A bright starlight got up and walked towards her.

“Welcome, I have been waiting for you for a long time.”

The starlight said to her.
