Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 476

[Chapter 474 Blasphemy Prototype and Fall]

Alice left.

Duncan doesn’t know how much this silly doll understands, but at least one thing, she is now aware of the danger of the “key”. Before she understands the real situation of that thing, she should not think about winding it again. thing.

The setting sun outside the window was gradually sinking, and the two rounds of brilliant rune circles were gradually approaching the distant sea horizon. The diffuse golden-red radiance smudged the entire sea, passed through the window, and sprinkled into the room.

Duncan sat at the desk by the window, staring at the brass key quietly, watching the sunlight covering the key handle like an infinity symbol, the fine patterns seemed to come alive in the sunlight, and appeared with the light and shadow. Fluid texture.

After a short thought and hesitation, Duncan took a light breath and reached out to hold the key.

A fine green flame appeared on the fingertips, and gradually penetrated into the key.

He originally didn’t plan to use the “spiritual body fire” to study this key, because the power of the flame is very likely to destroy the extraordinary essence of the key, and even if it is not destroyed, it may affect its original nature, but now he has no longer cared about it too much.

It is necessary to figure out what Rei Nora left in the key—under this premise, he can only be extra careful, try to avoid the power of the spirit body fire from burning the thing too violently, and at the same time carefully perceive the flames. Every little bit of information coming through, and ready to snuff out the flames if it doesn’t feel right.

The flame is like water, flowing gently between the fingers and the key, and the dark green light seeps into the brass surface of the latter little by little. In Duncan’s perception, his flame… seems to be sinking into a vast and inexplicable chaos. place.

He slowly closed his eyes, and then took the spreading flames as his vision, and began to observe the “world” behind the key.

Fog, boundless fog, flows like dust and smoke, undulates in the field of vision, sometimes condenses, sometimes disperses, where the flames see, there is only chaos and nothingness.

Duncan “observed” the dense fog in front of him suspiciously, but only saw the same uniform chaos in all directions.

He knew that this was the “truth” of the “inside” of the key, and he was doing the same thing as when he was investigating the doll’s coffin, but the situation here was completely different from the inside of the coffin.

After staying quietly in the endless fog for a while, Duncan sensed that the flames were still spreading steadily, and the key itself showed no signs of damage or destruction. He was slightly relieved, and then tentatively moved in a certain direction. own vision.

But as soon as he moved forward, he felt the texture of a foreign object in his palm.

key?

Duncan immediately thought of the brass key he was holding in his hand in the real world, and then he realized another thing – he actually had a “body” in this thick fog?

He still clearly remembered that when he checked the doll’s coffin last time, he had only one “vision”!

Why is there such a change? Is it because the nature of the two Transcendent items are different? Or was it because of some unknown change in his own strength?

Duncan’s doubts rose sharply, and at the same time, he subconsciously raised his hand and looked at the “foreign object” in his hand.

A cuboid object with a black shell, whose texture is hard to tell whether it is metal or plastic, lay quietly in his palm.

Duncan froze.

The thing is only about half the length of a palm, and the width of two fingers. Its smooth and flat surface is obviously some kind of artificial creation. Under its pitch-black shell, some fine lines can be vaguely seen, whether it is decorative lines or internal structure. , and at one end, you can see a metal port with a complex structure, and a series of neat raised structures are arranged inside the port.

It looks… like a… “readable device” that can be attached to some kind of machine to store data or act as an enabler.

Duncan held the black cuboid in front of his eyes, and carefully looked at every inch of its details with inexplicable astonishment.

He thought of a USB flash drive from “another world”, or a removable hard disk, but the interface specification of this thing was obviously not what he was familiar with.

And after observing for a long time, another thing suddenly came to his mind—

in Prand, in the historical branch that was burned by the fire, he saw that the “children of the sun” who invaded the city-state were holding a handful of black swords in their hands. The big umbrella, the big black umbrella has a complex structure inside and looks advanced and sophisticated mechanical and even electronic structures…

Duncan recalled the black umbrella he saw in Prand back then, and carefully observed the cuboid equipment in his hand. It is finally confirmed that the black umbrella of the Son of the Sun does not seem to have the same painting style as the weird “equipment” in front of us. They seem to be the product of two technical routes or design styles, but they have something in common – precision, advanced, and

complex , from the appearance, it seems to be far beyond the technological level of today’s world.

At least, it doesn’t look like something that the city-states of the Boundless Sea can or have ever produced.

And this kind of thing seems to have a unique name in this world:

profane prototype.

Agou once described them in this way:

“In the long history of this world, some histories are ‘locked’, and the things that were born in these taboo histories are profane prototypes. Usually, their existence itself has no impact on the real world. Harmful to living beings…”

This “black box” that looks like some sort of data device…is a “Prototype of Blasphemy”?

Duncan frowned slightly, looked at the small device in his hand repeatedly, and at the same time thought about its connection with the brass key he was holding in his hand in the real world, and at this moment, a strange, The low roar suddenly came from a very high and very far place, interrupting his thinking.

Duncan raised his head in astonishment, and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

In the next second, he saw a bright light suddenly appearing in the endless chaotic mist covering the entire space. The light came from a distance, like a meteor falling violently, and then formed a ball in the mist A flaming fireball!

It whizzed past Duncan’s head, and gradually lowered its height as it flew. The fog was washed away, and some kind of huge thing was outlined in the dazzling fireball. Duncan saw an entity pushed by the flames——it looked like

three Two spindles bundled together, at the end of each spindle can be seen the huge stream of light gushing out from the propeller, and on the outer shell of the spindle can be seen billowing smoke, overflowing with fire, shocking explosion and tearing It is happening continuously, and during this period, fragments continue to fall from the explosion point, splashing like rain in the dense fog, and turning into meteors during the fall, burning up in the sky… Without reference, Duncan can’t

judge How big is the “trimaran” that is speeding across the sky, but he can feel the strong shock and coercion brought by the huge figure wrapped in flames and thick smoke, it may be bigger than a city-state , even larger than many city-states put together, it may have crossed a long journey, skimmed the stars on some astronomical scale, gliding and falling in this misty vision, while Duncan watched in amazement , This fall ended with an earth-shattering big explosion—

accompanied by an explosion that could shake almost the entire space-time, the “Giant Ship Ark” composed of three spindles disintegrated.

It split into three parts, turning into three burning fireballs, three glaring trajectories wrapped in thick smoke, scattered in the depths of the dense fog.

Very far, that is a distance that cannot be reached by foot power alone.

Moreover, Duncan suspected that even if he could travel thousands of miles in an instant, he might not be able to reach the place where the three wreckage fell.

Because this fog… records only an event that happened in the distant past.

A slight heat came from the palm of his hand. Duncan lowered his head and saw a brass key lying quietly in his hand. The handle at the end of the brass key, which looked like an infinity symbol, was emitting a slight light. Slowly wandering in the light, and outlined a recognizable symbol:

“New Hope”

“Boom!”

An illusory roar suddenly exploded in his mind, and the fog around Duncan suddenly dissipated into the darkness. Then, the light and shadow changed, and the familiar bedroom scenery came back into view again.

Deng affirmed his composure and felt that his perception was recovering rapidly. He lowered his head again and saw that the brass key was still lying quietly in his hand.

The key no longer heats up or shines, and the fine lines on the handle of the key no longer wander away. The characters that appeared in front of my eyes… like a bubble that dissipates when I wake up from a dream.

But Duncan still clearly remembers what he saw and the name—

New Hope.

He frowned, quickly got up and took the notebook on the desk, wrote the words “New Hope” on it, and quickly and roughly recorded the scene he saw in the “phantom”, waiting to write all these things After he got down, he breathed a sigh of relief, and resumed his original sitting posture.

In this world, it is unlikely that anything can affect his memory and thinking, but the necessary caution cannot be avoided.

After completing the recording, Duncan fell into deep thought.

He didn’t know the cause and effect of the scene he saw, he didn’t know what kind of connection or “transformation” process was between the black data device and the brass key in the “phantom”, he didn’t know that the fallen ark ship Where is he now, but he believes…what he sees is not some delusional hallucination.

That was a scene that actually happened, it was the real history that happened in this world in the distant past, before the city-state era even started.

There was a huge spaceship that crashed into this world, and exploded during the crash, and the wreckage scattered on the world.

Duncan exhaled softly.

He put the key close to his body, raised his head, and looked out the window at Vision 001, which had almost completely sunk into the sea.

“This time… it’s a lot of fun.”
