Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 465

[Chapter 463 The First Step to a Harmonious Relationship]

A revolving door of flames suddenly expanded on the deck, and then the owner of the lost fleet stepped out of the door.

Tall, majestic, entwined with spiritual fire, and his eyes are like torches, its existence itself is like the fear of the boundless sea, and its eyes seem to arouse all the flames in the world.

And behind that tall figure, came out an elegant woman wearing a deep purple dress, with long silver hair reaching her waist, beautiful appearance but slightly pale complexion. She followed closely behind Captain Duncan, with a mysterious and elegant demeanor. Elegant, like a squire.

Lawrence felt his heart pounding, and his nerves were tense to the extreme. He saw Duncan walking towards him, and with every step he took, the inextinguishable spiritual flame on his body would grow stronger—— ——It was not until the other party stopped on the deck that he lowered his head belatedly: “Captain.”

“Your ship is not bad.” This fate has been entangled with the expedition ship to this day. At the same time, he couldn’t help feeling a novelty in his heart – because strictly speaking, this was the first time his body left the Lost Homeland and came to another ship. on a ship.

Before he set foot on the White Oak, he was worried about whether there would be any unforeseen changes after he left the Lost Country. After all, using the “Avatar” to walk in the city-state and leaving the ship were two completely different concepts, but now It seems… At least when the “Lost Home Fleet” was operating inside, the Lost Home would not have any problems because of his departure.

There was a strange feeling in Lawrence’s heart. He couldn’t judge whether what Captain Duncan said just now was a compliment, so he could only continue to bow his head in embarrassment: “Uh, it’s good if you like it…” “Don’t be so nervous

, It’s not the first time we’ve met,” Duncan laughed, and Lawrence’s reaction was within his expectations, and he had seen this kind of reaction a lot, “Relax, it’s like meeting an ordinary senior from the Explorers’ Association on weekdays. “

As he spoke, his gaze swept across the uniform on Lawrence’s body, and he saw the emblem of the Explorers’ Association on the neckline of the other party.

Duncan nodded slightly, and said, “Many years ago, I was an explorer too—it’s a pity that the badge at that time has been lost in the subspace.” Lawrence was taken aback, raised his head hesitantly, and

tensed His nerves relaxed a little, and his sluggish thinking began to function again—he suddenly realized that the terrifying “shadow of the subspace” was really telling the truth. A hundred years ago… Duncan Abu Normar was indeed a A member, even one of the most famous explorers of that era.

And strictly speaking, the Explorers’ Association hasn’t even “removed” the ghost captain – because no one thought of the need to go through the cancellation procedures for a subspace shadow… Duncan didn’t care about

Lawrence’s reaction and expression After confirming that the other party had relaxed a little bit, he casually chatted with the other party in a gossip-like tone: “Did it go well when you came here?” “Um… well,” Lawrence replied honestly

, Try to make your reaction look as normal as possible, “We set off from Frost East Harbor and passed through the blockade line set up by the Sea Mist Fleet in the open sea. They showed us the way…” “Well, I told

Tirian, Sea Mist The Fog Fleet won’t trouble you,” Duncan nodded, and then he raised his head and glanced at the flagpole next to him, “Is that anomaly 077 hanging on it?” “

Yes… yes.”

“What did he do wrong? Why did you hang it on the flagpole?”

Lawrence: “…”

After hesitating for a few seconds, he pulled the corner of his mouth: “It was he who took the initiative to hang it there – he wanted to use this method to return himself to the sealed state, But it seems to be very unsuccessful.”

“…Why are the ‘abnormal’ human figures I saw so weird,” Duncan muttered, and turned his head to look at the elegant and dignified Ellie who was actually wandering away behind him. Si glanced, then pointed to the mummy hanging in the air, “Come down.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the mummy who was pretending to be dead just a second ago immediately shook his body, fell on the deck with a “bang”, and then ran to Duncan in front of him, trembling and talking to the first time. Like Frankenstein: “Boat…captain, the sailors are reporting to you!”   Duncan

frowned: “Are you stuttering?

“

Joyful, he didn’t expect that one of the top 100 intelligent anomalies would be afraid of him, Captain Duncan. Then, he turned his head suspiciously and glanced at Alice who was following behind him.

They are all top 100 anomalies, and they all have the same thinking ability as humans… How can this puppet not know how to be afraid? She was nervous for a while on the Lost Home, and then quickly adapted to the environment, and now she can even fight back and forth with the pots and pans on the ship.

Alice noticed the captain’s gaze, and immediately responded with a smirk so bright that it was almost solid.

Duncan: “…”

He suddenly felt that Alice might not be quick to adapt, but simply slow to react. He guessed that after being afraid for a while at the beginning, he forgot about being afraid… At the same time,

Alice also Noticing the shivering mummy standing opposite, she tried her best to think about it, as if she finally recalled what the captain told her before departure, so she put on a smile on her face and greeted him actively: “Hello, my name is Alice, it is said that you are abnormal too?”

The mummy was slightly taken aback, and looked up and down suspiciously at the “elegant lady” who was no different from ordinary humans, but seemed to have a sense of disobedience in her gestures and gestures: “You too?” “

Yes Ah!” Alice said happily, “My serial number is 099.”

The sailor scratched his head in embarrassment, and it was probably the first time he had dealt with another out-of-control anomaly in this way: “Um…I am 077.”

Alice thought for a while, then showed a proud look: “Then I have a bigger number than you!”

Duncan couldn’t bear it anymore when he heard this: “The abnormal number is from the front to the back row – 077 is in front of you.”

Alice reacted for a while, and miraculously responded: “Ah…that is to say, Is he stronger than me?”

“That’s not necessarily the case, the anomalies within the top 100 are all extremely weird, and they generally cannot be judged by their numbers, but tend to present different dangers under different conditions,” Duncan said. Patiently explained, “In the sea, he should be better than you, in land, you are better than him…”

Alice didn’t know how much she understood, but she just looked at the “sailor” in front of her curiously. , and then suddenly reached out and grabbed the air.

The mummy instantly stopped in place, as if even his soul (if he had one) was frozen for an instant, and then all his joints and skin began to rapidly transform into a puppet state.

Alice let go of her hand suddenly.

The sailor staggered back a few steps, looking at the puppet in front of him in horror: “Fuck…f*c*k?” “

Not bad,” Alice shook her head, “I don’t even know how to protect myself.” “

No. Just grab other people’s ‘threads’ casually, you forgot?” Duncan immediately reminded sternly when he saw this, and then frowned again, “Wait, you mean, Anomaly 077 also has ‘threads’?” “Yes

, There are quite a few floating around,” Alice nodded her head naturally, “but his thread is a bit strange—the thread of ordinary people floats to a high place in the sky and then gradually disappears, but his thread is after floating out. It turned back into the body again, as if forming a ring…”

Duncan frowned and looked up and down the “sailor” who was still in shock, and then, there was a slight green fire in the eyes of Alice beside him.

In the next second, Duncan also saw the abnormal 077’s “thread”—a thin, almost transparent white thread extending from the joints of the mummy’s head and torso, swinging in the surrounding nothingness, and returning to his body.

Really wired.

Do humanoid anomalies with thinking have this kind of “line”? Or…is this unique to Anomaly 077? What’s the matter with this kind of thread that is different from ordinary human beings and produces loops in itself?

Many doubts appeared in Duncan’s mind in an instant, but soon he put them aside temporarily, and apologized to the “sailor” very seriously: “I’m sorry, Alice is not very sensible, she didn’t mean anything, she just wanted to fight with you Say hello.”

“Don’t, don’t, don’t apologize!” The mummy almost jumped up on the spot, and quickly stepped back while waving his hands, “I’m fine, I was just shocked just now…Alice, right? I know, I will Stay away from her…”

While talking, he muttered softly again, “It’s worthy of working on the flagship”, “The people around the boss are more powerful”, etc., even Lawrence could hear the muttering .

Lawrence blinked and looked at the side. He didn’t understand what happened just now, but felt that the two anomalies in front of him seemed to be “communicating” for a while, and the sailor seemed to be frightened again. Immediately afterwards, he Thinking of something, strange eyes fell on the beautiful lady with an elegant appearance: “Wait, anomaly 099…Captain, so this is…” “It’s the ‘coffin’ that was escorted on your ship back then,

” Duncan laughed and raised his hand to introduce, “But now the coffin has been assimilated by the Lost Homelander, and the puppet as the ‘content’ has been out of control for a long time, just like the sailor next to you.” Alice

heard , and immediately stepped forward and said to Duncan: “Captain, Captain, I am not out of control, I am usually very obedient…” “Yes, yes, I am not out of control

,” the mummy on the side also said quickly, “I am usually very obedient It was arranged, and Captain Lawrence asked me to go ashore to fight the cultists…”

Lawrence listened in a daze, looked up at the “sailor” who was trying to express himself, and then at the beautiful and elegant woman opposite But now it seems that “Miss Coffin Stuffing”, who seems to be out of her mind, finally landed on Captain Duncan.

Suddenly, the pressure and tension that had been lingering for a long time dissipated, and Lawrence inexplicably felt that the relationship between himself and the “ghost captain” in front of him was much closer, and even… a feeling of sympathy emerged spontaneously.

It’s a kind of sympathy brought about by an out-of-control anomaly that is the same as the captain of the boundless sea…
