Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 520

[Chapter 518 Sleeping]

The flying colored paper swirled across the roof of the college, flew along the outer wall of the “tower” all the way to the observation platform at the highest point, and recondensed into the figure of Lucrezia on the edge of the platform.

The huge observation platform was very quiet, and no one could be seen.

Lucrezia frowned, carefully observing the situation on the top of the tower.

The instruments and devices dedicated to recording various astronomical data are still running automatically. The large-scale lens group is lifted by many complex mechanical arms to point the observation focus to the sky. The three groups of lenses with filter structures have been temporarily removed, which seems to be the result of manual adjustment.

There was no one on the platform—the original staff here may have evacuated in an emergency when the sun went out, but the working status of the lens device shows that someone did come here during the sun’s extinction and observed the sun with the equipment here.

“…It was not wise to observe the sun under the circumstances at that time.” Lucrezia couldn’t help but whispered.

She began to look for the figure of Master Taran El near the lens device, and at this moment, a dropped pencil suddenly entered her field of vision.

She ran over immediately, and finally found the figure of the elf scholar among a pile of steam pressure pipes—Talan El was lying quietly on the ground with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen into a deep coma.

Lucrezia immediately stepped forward to check the elf scholar’s situation, and found that the other party’s breathing was still stable, and he didn’t seem to be in danger of life, but lost consciousness for some reason. Then, she waved in the air – a large group of toy soldiers immediately ran out from the shadow under her feet, and rushed towards the unconscious university scholar in a neat line.

These toy soldiers surrounded Taran Aiir in an instant, and began to climb up and down to inspect the latter’s body, just like inspecting a position, accompanied by rapid communication and reports, and with their activities, the expression on Lucrecia’s face gradually changed.

No trauma, no physical assault, no signs of poisoning or curses.

The “Sea Witch” bent down, rolled the eyelids of the great scholar, and stretched out her hand to slap the other person’s face unceremoniously, trying to wake up Taran El, but it didn’t work.

“It looks like she just fell into an unexplained lethargy… huh?”

Lucrezia gave a puzzled “hmm” to herself, and she saw two toy soldiers move away Taran El’s hand that was tightly grasped on the chest, and a piece of draft paper that was about to be scratched appeared in her vision.

“What is this…”

Lucrezia curiously picked up the piece of paper, and flattened it casually, only to see that there was only a circular thing drawn on it with scribbled handwriting, and there were many complicated and messy lines inside the circle. She distinguished it for a long time, but she couldn’t distinguish any rules from those lines. She only felt that they were like branches spreading vertically and horizontally, or something closely arranged.

Obviously, the people who drew these patterns recorded these pictures in a very hasty and chaotic situation. There are many traces of hesitant smearing on the lines on the paper, which shows that the painters were not sure what they saw, or could not accurately restore the truth of what they “witnessed”.   A saboteur who infiltrated the tower? Or the mental pollution caused by observing the sun in its extinguished state?

Lucrezia shook her head—it shouldn’t be a saboteur.

The reason is simple. Taran Aiur himself did not suffer any further damage after losing his resistance, nor was the “sketch” that was tightly protected in his hand taken away by anyone, nor did the various devices on the tower show any signs of damage. There should be no “intruders” who took great risks to sneak into the tower just to let the elf scholar sleep.

At this moment, a burst of noise from the elevator suddenly interrupted the “Sea Witch” from thinking.

She followed the prestige, just in time to see the elevator on the side of the tower platform open the gate, and several panic-stricken scholars from the Academy of Truth ran out from inside.

After seeing the “Sea Witch” standing on the top of the tower, these scholars were taken aback.

“Talan El observed the sun in an extinguished state, and now he has fallen into a coma for unknown reasons—I suggest that you do a purification of all the facilities here, in case some of the lenses that once reflected the ‘true appearance’ of vision 001 are also polluted.” Lucrecia said casually to the scholars, and then waved the sketch in her hand

.

“This is what he drew before he lost consciousness. I want to take it away to confirm whether it is contaminated. If there is no problem, I will hand it over to you.” After the words fell, she didn’t care about the reactions of the scholars, she turned and walked to the edge of the platform, and then suddenly turned into colorful pieces of paper flying in the wind and flew into the distance

.

The scholars who rushed to the tower after hearing the student’s report finally came to their senses. Looking at the colored paper that had flown away, some couldn’t help muttering softly: “This witch is really…” “Come and go freely, she has always been like this,” the other waved his hand, and walked towards Taran El who was still lying on the ground, “Take the master to a safe place first.” The “Sea Witch” was a little

worried

.

“This is just the result of a preliminary investigation, but there are many ways of mental pollution. It doesn’t necessarily require that the person involved has been in contact with anything. Maybe it’s just a coincidence that he ‘knew’ some knowledge, or maybe…” The staff member stopped suddenly when he said this, and then raised his finger to point upwards, with a serious expression on his face

.

“Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the sun went out before—there is no evidence that the 12 hours of the sun going out can affect ordinary people, but maybe the first ‘evidence’ is in front of you.” “I understand, this is the scope of my duty,” Heidi took a light breath, picked up the medicine box and walked towards the door of the ward. Before she opened the door and entered, she suddenly turned her head and reminded, “Don’t let people come near here during the treatment. If there are supernatural phenomena near this ward, notify the pastor and guards here as soon as possible.” “Understood, Ms. Heidi.” Dee nodded, opened the door and walked into

the

ward

.

Disinfectant water mixed with holy oil and incense wafted into the nostrils. In the brightly lit spacious ward, the only patient was lying on the only bed.

Heidi silently recited the name of the God of Wisdom Laheem in her heart, checked the colored stone amulet on her wrist, and walked cautiously towards the hospital bed.

A girl with her eyes closed, who seemed to be in an uneasy dream, was lying there, motionless as if… the link between body and soul had been broken.

Before opening the medicine box, Heidi first observed the patient’s face habitually.

“Spirits?”
