Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 531

[Chapter 529 The Reunited Person]

Pendant?

Heidi was stunned when she heard the subspace shadow in front of her, and then she looked down at the “Amethyst” pendant on her chest from a certain glass workshop. In the next second, about this pendant All the things that came to my mind –

the weird antique store manager, the pendant my father brought back from the antique store, the incredible protection in the black sun incident, the second pendant, Van Na didn’t care about that antique store The investigation, and… the appearance and words of Duncan Abu Normar at this moment…

the psychiatrist finally opened her eyes wide, and the crazy conjecture gradually turned into a conclusive fact, and she suddenly felt… she seemed to need some psychology Rescue.

“Relax, and control your eyes by the way, don’t look at things you shouldn’t see,” Duncan smiled, and said to Heidi unhurriedly, “Your father asked me to remind you of this sentence.”

Heidi Feeling the buzzing in her head, she couldn’t tell whether it was the noise caused by mild mental pollution or the auditory hallucination caused by pure nervous tension. She held her forehead and finally managed to control her reason and impulse, but still felt that her thoughts were Slowly and intermittently: “My father…he is now…”

“He is serving as a consultant on the Lost Homeland – he was afraid that you would worry, so he never told you, but none of us thought that you would be muddle-headedly involved in the incident “

“Is he okay?! He’s on your boat…” Heidi subconsciously asked, but when she looked at the majestic “captain” in front of her, she suddenly hesitated at the end of her voice, feeling that No matter how I asked, it seemed offensive and reckless at the moment.

Duncan didn’t care about this, but just replied casually: “He is very good, maintains the healthiest schedule in the team, and plays a huge role on the boat-what else do you want to know?”

Heidi opened her mouth and reorganized the vocabulary in her mind for a long time before suddenly thinking of another thing, something that happened almost at the same time as her father left the house, and now she thinks about it. But she still couldn’t help asking: “Then… Fanna is also with you…”

Duncan didn’t answer directly, but confirmed her guess from the side: “Want to meet them?”

Heidi was startled for a moment , for a while, she didn’t know how to answer this simple question. It took two or three seconds for her to wake up suddenly, and then her first reaction was to put away her pile of scary-looking avatars, and panicked at the same time. She said calmly: “Is it okay? Do you really allow it? Oh, I’m sorry, I don’t mean anything else, but I’ve heard a lot about you… I should…” Her flustered words stopped suddenly

.

Because accompanied by a revolving door of dark green flames, two very familiar figures had appeared in front of her——

Morris was smiling, and Fanna was a little embarrassed.

“So what… Long time no see,” Fanna came to Heidi, touched the tip of her nose and greeted, “I’m sorry for keeping it from you for a long time, the new position is a bit sensitive, mainly because there are confidentiality requirements, and this time I am also the captain. Angry?”

Heidi didn’t answer, she just stared at her long-time friend in front of her, then stared at Morris who was beside her, and finally said after holding back for a long time: “You guys Who can explain to me in detail, what is the situation now?!”

“Talk slowly,” Duncan saw that they had begun to communicate, he immediately waved his hands discerningly, turned his head and walked away, “Lucy and I Let’s talk.”

The two “crew” and one Heidi were left staring at each other, full of embarrassment.

Duncan didn’t pay attention to the subtle resentment atmosphere between Fanna and Morris behind him. He had already come to Lucrecia very calmly, but saw the “Sea Witch” looking away with a rather embarrassed expression.

Lucrezia has been brainstorming for a long time – after her father suddenly entered this dream, she has been in a state of confusion, and just now, while her father was communicating with the “psychiatrist”, At that time, she was trying hard to think about how to communicate with this “relative” whom she hadn’t seen for a long time, how to adjust her mentality like Tirian did, and… how to

explain the scythe incident just now.

However, when her father really walked this way, she realized that she was not prepared for anything—the “witch” who frightened many people in the boundless sea was actually not very good at dealing with such emotional emergencies. On the contrary, because of the wild thinking for a while, he became even more at a loss at this moment.

Lucrecia opened her mouth: “I…”

“No hurry,” Duncan waved his hand suddenly and interrupted Lucrecia’s words, then turned around and looked at Heidi and the other three not far away, “Let’s see.”

Lucrecia: ” …?”

She was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what her father meant by “see the meeting first”, and even subconsciously thought of “planning” and “layout” in completely irrelevant directions, but the next second , she found that the familiar but long-lost figure beside her was just looking not far away, with a humanized expression on her face, that’s all.

The “Sea Witch” hesitated for a moment, and then looked in that direction. A strange feeling came to her heart. She didn’t know how to describe this weird and awkward unfolding—this was the same as what she had imagined in the past many years. The scene of the reunion with the father is different.

She imagined that one day in the future, the immortal self might also encounter the Lost Homeland returning from the subspace like Tirian did. She imagined that there might be a tragic battle between the Bright Star and the Lost Homeland. Confrontation, the evil spirit from the warp will destroy all the traitors, just like he destroyed the thirteen islands of Viserand at the border…   Father will really come back, it may be a quiet afternoon, or the afterglow before dusk In the middle of the day, they might stand on the sea cliff, just like the place she had visited in her childhood—she couldn’t remember which city-state it was in, but only remembered that there was a gentle sea breeze and white flowers everywhere—she and Her family would stand on the tallest boulder, her father would tell her about the faraway events, and she would show off her Bright Star, all her labs and books…but those   fragmented Dreams are finally dissolved in the sun, like sighs in the wind.   She never imagined that when the day of reunion really came, it would be like this – she and her father stood in this never-ending dreamland, watching   people gossip together.   But gradually, Lucrecia seemed to understand her father’s intentions.

And in some milder dreams, in some fantasies that have nothing to do with reason In the movie, she actually imagined another scene——

She also looked in that direction, looked at the lady psychiatrist and her relatives and friends, there was also a daughter who was full of worries, a father who tried to explain everything in embarrassment, and a friend who was at a loss .

Perhaps, this is what my father wanted me to “see the meeting first”.

Lucrecia thought she understood.

Then she heard Duncan breaking the silence from the side: “Actually, I persuaded Morris to find a chance to talk to Heidi at the beginning, but we didn’t find the chance-but it’s also very good, if he had Now that it’s clear, I don’t have to read it.”

Lucrezia felt that she understood it early.

In a brief moment of daze, she suddenly remembered what Tirian had said when she was in contact with Tirian – her

father had regained his humanity.

But it seems to find too much.

At that time, she still couldn’t understand the meaning of her brother’s words, but now she vaguely understood that this being who returned from the subspace might be her father, but it wasn’t all of it anymore.

“Lucy, what do you think?”

Duncan’s voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting the wild thoughts in Lucrezia’s mind. She woke up suddenly, and looked at her father who was casting a questioning look at her.

The complicated thoughts in his mind quickly calmed down, and the long-term memories and the dislocation of the scene in front of him were left behind. The “Sea Witch” suddenly felt that those chaotic problems seemed to be not a problem.

After all, life is not academic research, and not all questions must have an answer.

“Miss Heidi will take care of all the problems. Although I don’t have much contact with her, I know she is a sensible person. Don’t worry about Mr. Morris. He is your approved consultant…” “Oh, I didn’t mean

them , I mean this ‘place’,” Duncan waved his hand, pointing to this piece of forest that has fallen into “twilight”, but there is still no sign of collapse and disintegration, “This should be a dream, right? But it looks a bit weird, It’s not the same as any dream I’ve ever seen…”

Lucrezia was a little uncomfortable for a while, and her father’s thoughts seemed to be jumping now, which was very different from the person she remembered, but soon she understood After reacting, he quickly sorted out his thoughts and shifted his attention away from the gossip in the distance, and said in his thoughts: “The ‘entrance’ of this dream is the scholar Taran El, that is the one who is in a stagnant state over there. The mental entity, his ‘self’ has not yet awakened, the reason for this is…”

Lucrezia told Duncan the information she had as concisely as possible, and the latter expressed his thoughts after listening carefully expression.

“…In other words, this forest is just a barrier covering the ‘surface’ of the dream, and the true appearance of the dream is hidden in a deeper place—but it is not the man named Taran Ai who is leading all this. It’s not Er’s elf, but a ‘third dreamer’.”

“The third, but it’s not ruled out that there will be a fourth or fifth,” Lucrezia said with a serious face, “Heidi’s Experience has shown that this dream is ‘connected’ to other places, so it may be connected to more dreamers, but all of this is hidden, the ‘self-healing’ and ‘hidden’ abilities of this forest… …far more than we could have imagined.”

Duncan didn’t speak, he frowned and fell into thought.

And at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the “Grand Scholar of Taran El” not far away blinking his eyes suddenly.
