Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 525

[Chapter 523 Morris’ Hypothesis]

In a laboratory in the depths of the Brilliant Star, Lucrezia completed a rough inspection of Taran Ayer.

With the cooperation of the Academy of Truth, it was not difficult to transfer this great scholar to the ship, but it was obviously not that simple to figure out what happened to him. It was the first time for the “Sea Witch” who was famous in the field of curses to see such a situation.

Taran El was obviously trapped in some kind of deep dream, but his entrapment showed no “cursed” reaction at all, and no signs of mental pollution.

Lucrezia lit the three candlesticks in the corner of the laboratory, and sprinkled herbal powder prepared by herself in the incense burner in front of the candlesticks, and then she came to Taran Ayer’s side again, There are spars, bone fragments and other things around the opponent.

The wind-up doll “Luni” with a ceramic shell and the rabbit doll “Rabbi” were helping in the laboratory, and seeing the solemn expression on the hostess’ face, Luni couldn’t help but said: “The situation is bad? Is this elf in danger?”

“The situation is unknown—this is worse than the situation,” Lucrecia said with a serious expression, “Talan-Air fell into a deep sleep after trying to observe the sun. If these two things If there is a connection between things, it means that this kind of deep sleep may be more than one. How many people looked up during the time when the sun was extinguished? To what extent do you want to “observe” this kind of deep sleep? How many people Made a move as bold as this elf scholar?”

She said, shaking her head slowly.

“Talan Ayer’s actions are very bold, but in the vast sea, there is more than one scholar as brave as him.” “Do

you need us to do anything else?” Rabbi the rabbit doll bounced from the side Walking over, raised his head and said softly.

“Next, I will try to connect to Taran Ayer’s dream, and help him open the passage to return to the real world from the other side, but considering that the situation in this dream may be complicated, I want you to take good care of the room. If I still haven’t woken up after three hours, you can extinguish all the candles in order from high to low, which can force me to wake up.” “

Yes,” Luni lowered her head, “three hours, from high to low Turn off, I remember.”

“The rabbi can dream with the hostess!” The doll rabbit jumped over and hugged Lucrezia’s leg and said expectantly, “The rabbi is a rabbit who can dream! “

One nightmare is enough,” Lucrezia refused the rabbit doll’s hospitality without hesitation, “I don’t want such a great scholar to die suddenly on my boat.” “Okay, okay

, The rabbi knows~” The rabbit doll lowered its head, made a frustrated sound, and walked to the corner of the room while muttering, and sat on the floor with a “poof”.

Lucrezia glanced at the doll, and didn’t continue to talk to him. Instead, after confirming that all the elements of the ceremony were ready, she sat on a high-backed chair opposite Taran Ayer, and then casually called Snap your fingers.

The three candlesticks burning quietly in the corner were instantly covered with a layer of illusory veil, and all the utensils in the entire laboratory seemed to be coated with a layer of phantom by this layer of illusory and hazy light. The “Sea Witch” slowly Slowly lowering his head, he entered a dream in the next second.

…

On the Lost Country, in the captain’s cabin, Morris and Duncan are sitting at the nautical table, and on the wall not far behind them, Agatha’s hazy and illusory figure is emerging in the simple and old oval mirror .

“Ai has already flown over to confirm that the big island in front of us is indeed a breeze port,” Duncan said, “Now the Lost Country is hiding in the depths of the spirit world, and we will contact Lucrecia before landing on the island.” , and confirm the current situation in the city-state from her. As for now… what is before us is still the problem of the Lost Homeland moving out of thin air.”

“Frankly, I have no clue,” Morris bit his pipe, his brows furrowed like rifts, “I’ve heard of various ‘teleportation’ events, some with specific vision effects, some like The cursed anomaly like ‘Sailor’ is at work, but what happened to the Lost Home is obviously different from that… At present, the ‘sun goes out’ is the most likely cause of the Lost Home’s teleportation, However, those of us on the ship have never noticed how and when this change happened…” “

So I always feel that it is not the Lost Home that is in trouble, but something outside the Lost Home. “The whole world”,” Duncan said in a deep voice, “the news from Captain Lawrence also hinted at this point—when the sun went out, an incomprehensible change took place in the sea area ‘beyond our sight’. Ryan’s report also illustrates this point.”

“Is there any further news from Mr. Tirian?” Agatha’s voice suddenly sounded from the mirror, “Is there any response from Cold Harbor?” “…

Yes Yes, the situation is developing in the weirdest direction,” Duncan nodded, “Tirion has reconfirmed with the city-states that had previously lost contact, judging from the responses from various sources… other city-states including Cold Harbor Not only did they not know about the extinction of the sun, but they didn’t even know that the communication between them and Frost had been interrupted.”

Agatha’s expression suddenly changed slightly.

She opened her mouth: “That is to say…” “

That is to say, they did not experience the twelve hours when the sun went out,” Duncan said slowly, “In their eyes, the world has always been operating normally, with frost, general Rand and Breezy Harbor were also all normal, and then Frost suddenly sent a lot of inexplicable and nervous messages, talking about things like ‘the sun went out’ and ‘communication was interrupted’ – the tense atmosphere now It’s spreading across several city-states, and in Tyrian’s words, ‘they desperately need to figure out which side is out of order’.”

Morris listened while thinking, and then he slowly put down his pipe: “Then it can be understood in this way—after the sun went out, the time of the whole world stood still for twelve hours, and the ship including the Lost Country and the three city-states Inside, it was actually ‘falsely staying normal’ during these twelve hours, as if in a nightmare where everyone slept peacefully, we… accidentally opened our eyes and saw the place located in time. The truth in the cracks.”

Duncan showed a thoughtful look.

It must be admitted that a university student is a university student. Although Morris could not explain the rationale behind all this, he put forward a very instructive conjecture.

So can this conjecture continue to be extended? In the world after the sun went out, are there more weird changes that have never been noticed by people? To even make this speculation a little more extreme…

Is the sun really going out for the first time?

These speculations floated in everyone’s minds, and the captain’s room fell into silence for a while, but at this moment, Duncan seemed to have sensed something suddenly, and frowned slightly suspiciously: “Huh?” “Captain?”

Agatha Immediately asked, “Have you thought of anything?”

“…No, it’s something else,” Duncan waved his hands while continuing to perceive and listen. His eyes seemed to be unfocused, or he was looking at something. Not in the room, “There is an aura…”

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Morris opposite him.

“What is Heidi doing now?”

“Heidi?” Morris was taken aback, not knowing why the captain suddenly brought up this matter, “Heidi is staying in Prand, at this time there should be confusion over there because the sun went out. Let’s go, the city hall will probably ask her to go… Heidi has a problem?!” The

university student finally came to his senses, and his face suddenly became tense.

“She shouldn’t be in too much danger, but the state of the talisman I left her is a little bit wrong,” Duncan frowned, and then waved his hand into the air. With the dark green flame rising into the air, Ai’s figure appeared in the air In the air beside him, “I need a passage to the dream.”

…

“That is to say, you are actually ‘treating’ others, and then somehow, you came to my dream— —Then you thought I was an intruder, so you poked my neck with that awl?” The

elf scholar who called himself “Talan El” looked serious, looking at the “golden awl” in Heidi’s hand and said unhurriedly .

“Why do I feel that there are so many things wrong with what you said?”

“Actually…” Heidi was embarrassed. If there is anything worse than accidentally injuring a patient with a gold cone and being discovered on the spot, it must be that she was not caught on the spot. I found out, but it took the patient a long time to react suddenly, and he analyzed the matter with such a serious attitude – the elf scholar’s reaction was really deviated from ordinary people, Heidi has seen many weird patients over the years, But this is the first time I have seen this type, “I also feel that something is wrong…but what I said is true.” “What you said is true,

um,” Taran El pointed She nodded, and then asked again, “What about the ‘another patient’ you mentioned?”

Heidi immediately turned around and pointed to the direction she came from before: “That building is her dream…land…”

Her words gradually stopped, and her expression became stiff.

In the direction of her finger, among the lush and lush giant trees and vines, a medical facility that was once so big… has disappeared at some point.

“It’s gone…” Heidi muttered to herself, turning her head slowly, “But it was really there before, a big…”

“Miss Psychiatrist,” Taran Al interrupted Heidi As Di said to himself, the elf scholar spread out his hands, with a helpless expression on his face, “It’s hard for me to believe you when you’re like this.”
