Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 467

[Chapter 465 The Future of the White Oak]

In Duncan’s eyes, the complex and chaotic dark shadow has “collapsed” into the heroic female adventurer again. In the depths of the mirror, the layers of silhouettes are no longer trembling disorderly.

Duncan watched this scene quietly, without speaking for a long time.

Martha in the mirror was still for a while after re-condensing—just like the freeze before the movie officially started, after two or three seconds, the lively and lively look returned to her face, she felt a little bit He looked down at himself in a daze, and then raised his head belatedly: “What… did you do?”

Duncan temporarily stopped his contemplation, and shook his head slightly: “It’s nothing, just welcome.”

Then he paused Paused, after sorting out his thoughts for a while, he opened his mouth and said, “If you will always be ‘Martha’ from now on, are you still going to tell Lawrence the truth?” “Maybe…he already knew,” Martha hesitated, and slowly

spoke Said, “I once talked to him about some things. I told him that I used Martha as the main body and pieced together my personality from his memory. With Lawrence’s sensitivity and experience in the extraordinary field, I then In addition to the fact that I have disclosed a lot of information beyond what is necessary, it should not be difficult for him to deduce… Since ‘Martha’ can hold one memory, it can hold countless copies, after all…” The female adventurer paused for a moment, her

face There was a complicated smile on her face: “After all, I seemed to know too much when I was in the mirror city.” “How did

he react?”

“He… doesn’t care,” Martha shook her head, “But I don’t know if he never cared.”

Duncan looked at her silently for a moment, then burst out laughing.

“You will care about this, it seems that I really don’t have to worry about it,” he said with a relaxed tone, “then put these aside, ma’am, there are countless dark and weird things in this vast sea, so any A little warmth is more cherished—Lawrence knows that very well.”

In the mirror, the female adventurer showed a thoughtful look, and Duncan outside the mirror continued after a short pause: “What else do you know about the deep sea below the frost?” “The deep sea…” Martha frowned

. Frowning, she immediately restrained her thoughts, and said slowly while sorting out her huge memory, “I do have some…’memories’ about the deep sea, but most of them are dark and fuzzy, mixed with the fear of sinking. As well as the absurd hallucinations produced in the cold and suffocating, these things probably cannot be used as real references, but…”

Duncan raised his eyebrows: “But?”

Martha in the mirror thought for a while and opened her hands.

Her figure suddenly dissipated in the mirror, like ink stains blurred in an instant, black lines spread rapidly in the mirror, and then, a shadowy figure emerged from the darkness.

A huge shadow seems to be floating in the endless nothingness, like an isolated island, like a lump with irregular edges, and countless fine things can be seen around the shadow, like cracks from the surface of the irregular lump. Debris”, floating around the island.

And in the center of the floating “isolated island”, you can see something huge like a pillar, extending infinitely upwards and downwards in the darkness, as if penetrating the shadow, and then penetrating the entire nothingness.

Martha’s voice came from the depths of the mirror:

“I traversed all the memories pointing to the deep sea, and the great fear experienced by countless devoured intelligences during the sinking process was superimposed into this scene. I don’t know how to interpret this scene—— It looks like a large floating object in the deep sea, pierced by a huge ‘pillar’, but because of lack of reference, I don’t know how big the object is, nor how big the pillar is.” Duncan stared for a long

time The scene shown in the mirror did not say a word for a long time.

But what emerged in his mind were countless pieces of information related to the Abyss Project – the submersible that never returned, the crazy deep-diving advance team, the description of the madness under the sea abyss, and… The huge hole at the center, and the ancient god’s tentacles that crossed the boundary between reality and reality, pierced deeply into the Frost City-State.

In the deep sea, there is indeed an entity.

The illusion in the mirror dissipated, and Martha’s figure reappeared in front of Duncan: “That’s all I know. Although I keep a lot of memories, there are not many that can point to the deep sea while relatively awake. You… …”

“It’s okay, ma’am,” Duncan said softly, interrupting the female adventurer, “I’ll go and see for myself.”…

On

the deck, Alice and the mummy “sailor” have already found the second bug , the two “people” continued to poke there.

But such a game is obviously not as interesting as fighting with pots and pans in the kitchen.

“I’m starting to feel bored,” Alice threw away the small wooden stick in her hand, and looked up at the deck, which was quite unfamiliar to her, “Why hasn’t the captain come back…” “Sailor

” When Miss Puppet mentioned the word “Captain”, she visibly trembled, raised her head and opened her mouth to hesitate for a long time before she spoke, “You’re usually with him… aren’t you afraid?” “Not afraid,” Alice said

. Turning his head, he looked at the ugly mummy inexplicably, “I like to be with the captain, why should I be afraid of him?” “

That’s the subspace! Do you understand the subspace!” The mummy had a horrified expression. , “When I look at him, I feel that my sanity will ‘fall’, and you dare to stick to him all day——I think you should be the one numbered 077, you are more evil than me.” Alice

scratched Instead of scratching his hair, he ignored the mummy, but looked up curiously at Lawrence not far away.

Lawrence with his first mate, Gus.

“Suddenly, the flames on everyone can be controlled freely,” the first mate Gus opened his palm, showing a cluster of small flames jumping quietly in the palm in front of his captain. At the position where the flame touched the palm, You can vaguely see the clear texture of flesh and blood transformed into a spirit body, but outside the range of the flames is a normal flesh and blood body, “Do you have any clues?”

“I don’t know either,” Lawrence frowned slightly. He snapped his fingers, watched the spirit fire jumping at his fingertips, and then waved his hand, and the flame dissipated without a sound. “The change is on Captain Duncan. What happened shortly after the ship…maybe there is some connection?”

“Maybe…but anyway, it’s a good thing,” said the first mate, Gus. It’s exciting, but I can’t find the reason. To be honest, it’s quite nerve-wracking-some people worry that we will never be able to go ashore normally in the future. After all, not every city is like Frost and Pulan De is like ‘seeing the world’…”

“From now on…” Lawrence’s tone was filled with emotion and thought, he subconsciously clenched his fist and opened it again, feeling the power of the flames running peacefully in his body, while thinking about himself and The future of all the members of the White Oak, “It’s time to think about the future…”

He lowered his head, rubbed his fingers, and the spiritual fire flowed through his fingertips like water.

A deep and majestic voice came from behind him: “Is it fun?”

Lawrence and Gus shuddered instantly at the same time, and flames shot up two to three meters high from their bodies…

The next second, Lawrence quickly suppressed it With the flames on his body, he turned his head to look in the direction of the sound – Duncan stood there, looking at this side with a subtle expression on his face.

Duncan sighed silently.

As soon as he came out, he saw Anomaly 077 and Anomaly 099 squatting on the deck to poke bugs, and saw the captain and first mate of his new ship playing with the fire at the door——Those who knew it was the Lost Fleet, those who didn’t knew it thought it was The boat is heading for the kindergarten… What kind of people are gathered around me?

“Dun…Captain Duncan!” Gus straightened his body in an instant, and said hastily as he patted off the last spark on the hem of his clothes, “I…we are studying how to control the power of the flame, so as to prevent it from happening again in the future. The situation in the city-state is the same…”

“The same situation? You mean the captain and a whole marine team were arrested by the local sheriff, and finally my emissary was sent to the police station to find people?” Duncan pressed his forehead, He waved his hand, “Forget it, as long as you are happy…”

While he was talking, Alice on the side had already run over, shouting and shaking his arm vigorously: “Captain! You are finally back! Are you done with your work?

” Now, don’t drag any of your joints off,” Duncan said while holding down the somewhat overexcited lady puppet, then set his eyes on Lawrence, and nodded slightly, “Don’t worry, Martha’s condition is very good, and I have officially accepted her as a member of the Lost Fleet.”

Lawrence was stunned, and then noticed the solemnity and deep meaning in Duncan’s words.

“You… see that she is actually…”

“You don’t want to care, she doesn’t care, as for me… I don’t mind,” Duncan said lightly, with a hint of a smile in his eyes, “The boundless sea is huge, and the homeless The fleet has always dealt with all kinds of weird things—one more harmless ghost ship is not a big deal.”

Lawrence opened his mouth, but said nothing, and finally just took a light breath, and Duncan He bowed his head deeply in front of him.

“All in all, welcome to my fleet,” Duncan laughed, and patted Lawrence on the shoulder casually. “Speaking of which, I seem to have heard you talking about… the future? Do you have any plans?” “The

future …” Lawrence hesitated for a moment, with a complex expression on his face, “I’m really thinking about this, do you think… can we return to the normal port like in the past?” Listening to Lawrence, he was full of hesitation and

entanglement Duncan sighed softly.

The future of the White Oak… is indeed in question.
