Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 490

[Chapter 488]

Nora’s tone was indifferent and calm, as if she had planned all the end-of-life scenarios for her own destiny many years ago—whether it was eternal nightmare or eternal suffering Exile was nothing more than an inevitable part of her planned future.

As Duncan imagined, the Frost Queen never prepared for her “resurrection”—returning to the human world was not part of her plan in the first place.

But this generous attitude made Duncan feel strange.

“Are you really willing to give everything for Frost? Even give something more than your life?” He turned his head and looked into Lei Nora’s eyes curiously, “You have lived in a cage under the church for more than ten years. You were treated as a human being when you were two years old. You were monitored, shackled, and tested. Every thought, every sleepy word of yours was to be analyzed repeatedly as a possibility of betrayal of human beings. You did everything you could do. Yes, in the end, you were still dubbed the ‘Mad Queen’ and pushed to the guillotine… I don’t want to judge anyone from a dark perspective, but at least logically, I am deeply surprised by your decision.”

Lei Nora fell silent. She leaned on her bed and looked up at the high veil. It seemed that her thoughts had spread far, far away. After some time, she suddenly smiled and shook her head: “Yes …why should I do this…”

She turned her head and looked quietly into Duncan’s eyes.

“You know what, they could have burned me – very early on, the day I woke up from my first nightmare, before I learned to say ‘Daddy’ and ‘Mama’, before I realized Before I became a human… Captain, maybe my statement misunderstood something. You thought I should resent that cold city, but in fact… that city did its best to keep me alive.

“And from a broader perspective, it is our delicate and fragile ‘civilized world’ that is doing its best to keep everyone alive—including natural psykers like me, even if they have to use chains, To use an iron cage, to put me in a dungeon for ten years, and they never expected me to die in that cold place… They expected me to return as a human being. “I never held a grudge against anyone, Captain,

they Not being cruel to me – because the world is cruel to everyone, and everyone is just doing the best they can. “

The former Frost Queen sighed softly, then finally got up slowly, and stepped out of her cage-like sleeping bed-compared with the ten years she spent in the cathedral cellar The only difference, perhaps, is that a circle of railings is missing.

She wandered to the end of the room and came to Duncan, looking out at the chaotic and dark deep sea.

“My parents and the people in the church are trying their best to keep me alive , my supporters and I are trying our best to make the city-state safe, the Winston Consul and his predecessors are trying our best to complete the work that I failed to complete-but in many cases, doing our best does not necessarily mean With success, failure naturally has the price of failure. She

slowly raised her arm, pointing to the huge tentacles in the darkness.

“Even the ancient gods are facing failure, aren’t they?” “

…If your theory is correct, then there will inevitably be new false copies that will wake up from the earthly creation,” Duncan pondered for a moment, then slowly said, “Destroying the false copies here will not solve the entire problem.” the foundation of the world. “

“There will be others who ‘do their best’,” Leigh Nora said calmly, turning to look at Duncan. “What about you?” Will you make a move? “

Duncan was silent, and after a while, he broke the silence softly: “Do your best. “

“That’s enough,” Lei Nora laughed, “then let’s do it, I’ve slept for too long, now it’s time to wake up from this nightmare… It’s also time to let ‘Him’ free.” “

There was urging in her tone, as if she couldn’t wait.

Duncan hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded silently.

In the next second, a cluster of dark green flames suddenly appeared beside him, and the flames spun and expanded, gradually transforming into a vortex-like door.

He walked towards the door, and at this moment, Le Nora’s expression suddenly changed slightly.

She stared blankly at the rising green flame, as if looking at a long and hazy memory, then suddenly turned her head and looked at Duncan who was about to step through the gate: “It’s you?!” Duncan stopped,

briefly After being confused, he finally realized why the Frost Queen behaved like this.

“I think this shouldn’t be considered polluting history,” he kept his posture as he was about to step into the gate, and turned his face slightly, “What do you think?

” Muttering to herself, the expression on her face changed several times quickly, as if many things that had troubled her for many years became clear in an instant, and then, as if a glimmer of light gradually appeared in her eyes, she showed her true sincerity for the first time. He raised his head and looked at Duncan, waving his hands like saying goodbye to an old friend many years ago, “Go ahead and do it, I think…we are making the right judgment.” Duncan finally said

deeply After taking a deep look at the Frost Queen, she didn’t say anything more, but took a step forward and stepped into the revolving flame gate.

Le Nora stood there quietly, watching the figure disappear into the room.

Like many, many years ago, the kind and knowledgeable old man disappeared into the morning light.

She slowly withdrew her gaze, turned around, and stood at the fragmented end of the room, looking at the tentacles of the ancient gods who were in a stagnant state, looking at her nightmares of the past half century, and all her fate and responsibilities.

Wisps of faint green fire emerged from the dark abyss over there. At first, they were like small fireflies, but in an instant, they expanded and became stronger in a rapid spread, and began to diffuse and spread towards the entire “pillar”. .

A slight tremor develops in the feet and rapidly intensifies over time.

This mansion is shaking, the power supporting this dream is fading, the “connection point” between the “drifting place” and the outside world is rapidly disintegrating and disappearing, the darkness outside the room seems to suddenly surge, there are countless layers The layer upon layer of ripples and light and shadow crazily expanded, and then retreated in the darkness, while the “Ancient God’s Tentacle” began to change in the suddenly unbalanced light and shadow—it seemed to bend, and a hazy structure emerged from it. The top stretches, grows, and crosses the boundary between virtual and real, hanging down and approaching this fragmented room.

Lei Nora just stood quietly in front of this horrifying scene, watching the illusory, newborn tiny tentacles continuously bend and extend towards herself, watching it finally come to the invisible boundary, The black “flesh and blood” fit on the surface of the invisible barrier, and spread out.

Lei Nora slowly stretched out her hand, and placed her palm on the surface of the pervasive and fluctuating flesh and blood. Through the barrier of dreams, she felt everything that He passed on—confusion, nervousness, uneasiness, and a little bit of regret.

“Yes… I know, you don’t want to appear in this world… It will be over soon, treat it as a dream, and you will return to the place you should be… “I will leave too, very

soon Quick, when the anchor breaks, it’s time to leave… I may go far away, or I may never have a next destination, and even if my calculations are correct, it will probably be a long journey. Unbelievable journey… so if there is a view to see, I will enjoy it. “

The silent communication continued in the dream, and at the last moment before waking up, Lei Nora suddenly felt a little sentimental.

“We have been together for so long, and I have never asked your name,” she stared at the person outside the boundary of the dream. That tentacle wrist felt the chaotic and fragmented information sent by the other party—most of those information could not even be called complete “thoughts”, but more like the accidental bursts of an incomplete soul during difficult thinking. Inspiration fragments, but in half a century of getting along, she has long been used to how to “talk” with this broken will, “Of course, I know the title of Youyou Holy Master, and I also know that you have other names…but that’s not your name…

“Do you have a name? It doesn’t matter if it’s yours or your ‘body”s… Nothing, I’m just suddenly curious.”

Amidst the chaotic noise and whispers, a particularly clear thought suddenly came over.

Le Nora listened as she had been a child, among the cold bars and shackles, listening to the muffled whisper from the depths of the tide—a name that seemed to float to her mind in a half-dream. mind.

A smile slowly appeared on her lips: “LH-01…ah, what a strange name… Pilot One? Is this your original name?” Okay, I remember it, nice to meet

you You, Pilot One, then… Farewell, good morning. “

A raging flame like a tsunami spread from the depths of the darkness, swallowing the tentacles that were touching the “drifting ground” in the blink of an eye. While the flames were burning, the false copy of the ancient god turned to ashes, and dust to dust.

The blazing flame even briefly ablated the barrier of the dream boundary, and under Le Nora’s feet, in the air around her, and at the edge of the room, strange but bright firework bloomed. Le

Nora Looking curiously at the jumping spirit flames, she reached out and touched their edges. The

warm fire dissipated at her fingertips.

In the dark and cold deep sea, the sudden rise of ghost flames was almost like a coronal ejecta It illuminated the entire sea area, illuminated the dark floating island floating in the deep sea, and illuminated the empty human-shaped shells floating in the dark water like bee swarms. Duncan quietly floated on the dark floating

island Looking at the flames of the spiritual body ignited by himself burning fiercely, the momentum even made him, the “arsonist”, feel a deep shock.
