Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 488

[Chapter 486 Alice’s Secret]

The room fell into silence.

This oppressive silence lasted for an unknown amount of time before Duncan suddenly broke the silence: “All living beings in the world are descendants of ancient gods—even the craziest Annihilation Cultists have never come to such deviant conclusions.”

” It’s an incredible thing to hear the word ‘deviant’ from your mouth,” Leigh Nora looked into Duncan’s eyes with a half-smile, “but this is indeed the ultimate thing I learned in this long nightmare. Truth——Just like the scene you saw in the deep sea, the “creation theory” that the Annihilation Cultists speak of is not false. Maybe they have a problem with their understanding, but at least one thing is true… Our world is The ancient god was created based on a certain grand ‘blueprint’, and in this creation process…His flesh and blood are the foundation of all things.” Duncan was silent for a few

seconds before slowly opening his mouth as if talking to himself: ” The Youshen Lord used himself as the raw material to shape all things above the sea according to the ‘blueprint’ in the deep sea, and its ‘flesh and flesh’ naturally existed inside all things, and due to some kind of ‘error’, those things that had been shaped into The ‘flesh and flesh’ of all things in the world were activated, so the ancient gods awakened from the flesh and blood of mortals and the ‘blueprint’ of the city-state—is this the truth of the Frost Crisis?” Lei Nora nodded slowly, her voice

soft : “Copying and creation are the authority of the Youshen Holy Lord. He can evolve all things by himself, so he undertook the work of Genesis. But obviously, after a long time, the original blueprint has begun to have problems, and it may be as a result. Something went wrong with the ‘creator’ of the source, and he began to wake up from his creation – in the form of ‘false replicas’. Frost was the first, but it will not be the last…” Even with

Duncan Even after hearing these horrifying words, it is difficult to control the turbulent waves in his heart—the ancient gods will gradually wake up from all beings in the world and even everything in the world. If we only look at it from the perspective of weird and terrifying The level even surpassed the round of black sun hanging high above the Puland city-state!

“You knew all this when you communicated with…”His” in your nightmare?” Duncan took a lot of effort to control the frantic thoughts in his heart, turned his head while maintaining his composure, and looked at the darkness at the end of the room Deep Sea, looking at the huge “pillar” standing quietly in the darkness, said.

“As an incomplete copy, he can’t tell me anything, but I can learn a lot from him,” said Ray Nora, “I know what you want to say – human beings are weak, even if they face the truth , Our limited perception and thinking can’t fully and accurately understand what we see, so I’m not sure what I’m saying is 100% ‘true’, it’s just my perception and understanding from an ancient god The things I learned from the fragmented ‘thinking’… are just for your reference.”

Duncan didn’t respond for a while, he fell into a long thought, and after an unknown amount of time, he suddenly turned around: “‘Alice ‘What the hell is it? Is she your resurrection shell?”

“Alice?” Lei Nora frowned after hearing the name, and the doubt in her eyes didn’t seem fake, “Who is Alice?”

“…It seems that you don’t know this name, and I thought her knowledge came from you,” Duncan carefully confirmed the subtle changes in Lei Nora’s expression, and then withdrew his scrutiny, “She It is a puppet with the same appearance as you. Many years ago, after you were…’executed’, the Frostman salvaged a container in the cold sea, and Alice slept in that container—— She used to be called Anomaly 099, but now she is my crew member.”

Lei Nora quietly listened to Duncan’s description, her expression gradually became thoughtful, and after a long while, she suddenly revealed a ray of Smiling: “Ah, so it is like this…”

“So?” Duncan noticed the word instantly, “What does this mean?”

“I have been dreaming, all kinds of dreams, like sinking and floating on a sea covered with thick fog. Most of the time, I was wrapped in coldness and darkness, and I fell asleep with the fragmented murmur, and it was even difficult to distinguish Is the self in the dream a human soul, or a copy of an ancient god who is wandering in the deep sea, but sometimes… in my dreams, there will be dry land, a shaking cabin, and some nervous, Whispering strangers…”

As she spoke, she slowly raised her head and looked at Duncan with a smile.

“Recently, the frequency of the second type of dream has clearly increased, and the whispering strangers in the dream have become many… strange but interesting objects, they are playing around with me, and they have something A trustworthy gaze, always watching at the border of the dream… You care about that puppet who calls itself ‘Alice’, don’t you?

” There are not many people in the world that I trust.” Duncan looked at the “Frost Queen” seriously, and did not relax a little because of the gentle smile on the other side at the moment. “This out-of-control sea has ‘copied’ a lot of things. There are sunken ships and sailors who were killed, but the ‘executed queen’ is the most special, it is a puppet with its own self… But judging by your attitude, you don’t know about it?” Lei Nora didn’t seem

to Noticing Duncan’s serious eyes that were almost severe, she just frowned slightly, as if she was trying to think hard, and gradually revealed something in her eyes, then she closed her eyes again as if to feel it carefully, and then she was slightly taken aback. He opened his eyes and looked at Duncan again with a strange expression: “That puppet calls itself ‘Alice’, doesn’t it?”

Duncan frowned: “Yes, what’s the problem?” “

Then… If I say that the puppet is actually not What about my ‘duplicate’?” Lei Nora said seriously, “Or, is it not exactly my duplicate?” “…What do

you mean by that?”

“Is there a possibility ? …” Lei Nora paused, as if she was trying to get serious, but her expression was always a little awkward, “Alice guillotine—the point is not Alice, but the guillotine…”

Duncan: “…?”

“Actually, I don’t really want to recall these,” Lei Nora said, raising her hand to touch the back of her neck with a strange expression, “Do you know that when the rebels executed me , using a torture instrument called the ‘Alice Guillotine’…”

Finally, a light flashed in Duncan’s mind, and he understood what the “Frost Queen” wanted to say.

But he felt that he might as well not understand.

“You mean, you suspect that ‘Alice’ was actually copied from that ‘guillotine’ in this out-of-control sea area, not from you…” Duncan said subconsciously, but stopped halfway

involuntarily Come down, and think to yourself in doubt: “But it’s not right, she looks exactly like you…”

“Wrong copy, Mr. Captain,” but Lei Nora obviously had the answer, she shook her head, turned Looking at the dark deep sea at the end of the room, “A mutilated mistaken copy of the ancient god created this uncontrolled sea area, so in this uncontrolled sea area, false copies are the norm – when a beheaded queen and a guillotine are at the same time Sinking into the deep sea, and because of my advance arrangement, I accurately landed in the ‘perception’ area of the ancient god’s wrist, which may have triggered some… wonderful changes, mixing and reorganization, duplication and completion, plus a little… …the processing of the mysterious field.”

She stopped at this point, looking at the ancient god’s tentacles standing in the darkness with complicated eyes.

“Obviously, he can’t tell…”

The room fell into silence again.

But this time the silence was completely different from before.

After this uncomfortable silence lasted for several minutes, Duncan finally broke the silence with a sigh: “So, in a sense, he raised a placenta…”

Ray Nora opened her mouth, and for a few seconds After a sluggishness, a sentence came out: “The unprecedented but appropriate metaphor is worthy of you…”

Duncan sighed helplessly, what else could he say? In this dark and boundless deep sea, the development direction of things has completely exceeded everyone’s expectations. The ancient gods are unreasonable and indescribable in all aspects. To use an inappropriate metaphor-between Bao Da and Bao Xiao, The ancient god chose to preserve the placenta…

but at least one thing he figured out—

why did that silly doll think he was called “Alice”?

Because she really is Alice Guillotine.

Since coming to this world, Duncan has seen countless evil things, but even among those extremely evil things, this incident is definitely the most evil.

“Look out, there is at least one thing you don’t need to worry about,” Leigh Nora reassured Duncan noticing that he was in a bad mood, “Alice is not my resurrection body—in fact, from the very beginning. , I have never thought about the so-called ‘resurrection’.”

Hearing the words of the Frost Queen, Duncan turned his head to look at her again, and had to work hard to adjust his mentality to get rid of the lingering disobedience in his heart. He Gan forcibly left her behind, and brought the topic back on track: “So… what about the key you mentioned at the beginning? What about the keyhole behind Alice? These are not yours. Arrangements?”

“I don’t know what you mean by ‘keyhole’, but if the key you said is a clockwork key made of brass, then it is indeed the one I left for the city-state consul, and I just now I mentioned to you the necessary items for normal entry into this room,” Lei Nora said with a calm attitude, and then changed the topic, “But I am not the creator of that key, let alone its first owner. The owner.”

Duncan was stunned for a moment, his eyes changed slightly: “…you are not the first holder of the key? Then where did you get it?” “

It was a gift from a friend,” Lei Nora said frankly Said, “An old man with profound knowledge and a kind attitude.”
