Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 537
[Chapter 535 Time to Pray]
The man’s heart finally gradually settled down.
He has escaped from the building eroded by the shadow of the warp, from those terrible mirrors and burning flames, and came to the assembly hall watched and blessed by the Lord, and now, surrounded by his trustworthy compatriots, swaying The lights convey reassuring power, and the encouragement and care of like-minded people are dispelling all panic and tension little by little.
Nothing terrible seemed to happen.
So, the man in the thick black coat took a long breath, then picked up the water glass that Duncan handed to him, and prepared to moisten his dry throat due to running all the way.
But as soon as he picked up the cup, seeing the rippling water inside, he felt a little uncomfortable, and a vague uneasiness rose from the bottom of his heart, so he put the cup back to its original place.
Obviously, this is the “sequel” of the terrible experience before, and he feels that it is best not to touch the drink in the cup for at least a few hours-if it is not possible, he will find a straw later.
“So what happened?” The yellow-haired and sullen-faced cultist who just handed over the water glass next to him asked with concern, “What trouble did you encounter?” Around the round table, other Annihilation cultists also looked at him
. Throwing this way, everyone has curious and serious expressions on their faces.
“That dream… the dream of the unknown man mentioned by the preacher at the end, has an intricate structure inside and is protected by a barrier,” the man in the black coat sighed and said with lingering fear, “the entrance is not There is no ‘Natural Appearance’, I don’t know how the other compatriots who tried to enter, in short, my side is blocked, even the sun residues are blocked, but this is not the worst, the worst…”
The man stopped suddenly, looked at the “compatriot” sitting next to him with some doubts, and frowned slightly: “Duncan, are you okay? I feel that your complexion is very bad…”
“Me? I feel good,” the withered and yellow-haired “Annihilation Cultist” laughed, and there seemed to be a little hoarseness in the laughter, “You are too nervous.” “You are indeed too nervous, Duncan’s face has always
been This sickly look,” another person at the round table shook his head, “let’s talk about what’s the worst – ordinary things don’t make you react like this.” “…Duncan
Abbott Normar, the cursed ghost who returned from the subspace,” the man in black said with lingering fear, “he intervened in that ‘dream of the unknown’.” The assembly hall was instantly quiet, as if
an invisible frozen wind blew through here, The air in the basement suddenly seemed viscous and stagnant.
In this sudden, unbearable silence, the man in black felt a heavy pressure, but he quickly adjusted his mood and continued to speak: “I first met a very difficult psychiatrist, The psychiatrist broke through the “psychological secret room” I specially set up, and then in the open area of the dream of the unknown, I met the even more troublesome “Sea Witch” – things are not too bad up to here, Those sun dregs held back the witch’s actions, but suddenly, Duncan Abnomar appeared…
“That ghost disrupted everything, those sun dregs and their ‘blood relatives’ were completely vulnerable, the outside world The intelligence was wrong. Duncan Abu Normar and the ‘Sea Witch’ were not hostile at all—they communicated in front of my eyes, and the relationship was far more harmonious than the outside world guessed.
“Do you still remember the news from Frost? I even suspect… The Lost Fleet has never been disbanded at all. The Bright Star and the Sea Mist have been secretly carrying out the order of the ghost from the beginning to the end, and this time I …It just happened to break their secret, that ghost and his pair of children must also be paying attention to the ‘Dream of the Nameless’…” The
man in black said quickly, his mind became more active than ever before, The previous horror experience is now beginning to be reorganized and connected in his mind, supplemented by various information that has been secretly disseminated through various channels recently, and finally combined into a very convincing logic chain, at least enough to convince himself , in this statement, he felt like he was finally sorting out his jumbled thoughts—and understanding everything.
However, a solid gaze cast from across the round table suddenly fell on him, interrupting the man in black’s statement.
“Wait,” said the owner of that gaze. He is a gray-haired and dignified old man, his gaze is burning like a torch, and his deep voice carries a hint of the seriousness of a leader. The shadow of the subspace, and you are already being targeted by him?”
“Yes… yes,” the man in black felt a little nervous, under the gaze of the “messenger”, he was instinctively afraid, but he still answered bravely , “He tracked me to the real world, and tried to use the mirror to invade my hiding place, but I found the law of his intrusion into the real world, blocking those ‘channels’…” He said so quickly, and finally
gradually Feeling the coldness from the eyes of the “messenger”, his dull and numb mind reacted, and he finally noticed the noise that had been lingering in his mind, as well as the invisible things that were jumping and wriggling at the edge of his vision.
He stood up slowly, his muscles trembling slightly, and he accidentally bumped into the “compatriot” sitting closest to him – the latter raised his head and showed him a friendly smile, but the smile was deep However, there is an inexplicable taste hidden in it.
The man in black felt tense for no reason, and said hesitantly and nervously: “Duncan, you…why is your complexion even worse than before…”
The “Annihilation Cultist” with withered yellow hair and a sickly face sighed, feeling a little regretful shook his head.
“Annihilation cultists——From a certain point of view, your peculiar ‘symbiotic ecology’ actually has a natural resistance to me, because the deep demons have very keen perception, and they don’t have enough intelligence to weigh the pros and cons, so it only takes a short time. In time, these demons will collapse, and then, the ‘carrier’ transformed from you as materials will be destroyed. In the best case, it can only take ten minutes…” The “Duncan
” Annihilation Cultist” said unhurriedly, and along with his words, a slight crackling sound came from all over his body, and a dark shadow vaguely bound by chains seemed to be struggling behind him Dissipated, his body was quickly covered with black cracks, disintegrated and scattered little by little.
Duncan slowly opened his hands. The deep demon that lived with this body had died, and this body gradually turned into ashes.
“But the good news is that even though the time is very short, I still heard a lot of useful things.”
The body was completely wiped out, and countless black ashes were scattered silently in the flickering yellow lights.
The man in black looked at this scene in horror. In the short few seconds, he couldn’t even tell whether it was fear, regret or anger that first rushed into his heart, and then he suddenly reacted and looked up. To the “messenger” sitting opposite the round table: “I’m guilty——” “
You’re guilty.”
The gray-haired “messenger” said expressionlessly, raised his hand and pointed forward, and in the darkness, a soundless and invisible shadow suddenly appeared. Emerging, and then quietly disappearing into the assembly hall, in such a short moment, the “guilty” man in black had already lowered his head, and his body slumped on the chair.
After a few more seconds, the body quickly spontaneously ignited, and the black flames instantly devoured his flesh and blood, emitting bursts of disgusting smell.
The cultists in the assembly hall watched all this silently, and no one made a sound. It was not until the burning black ashes completely collapsed that a tall figure hesitated to break the silence: “Messenger, we…
” The person called “The Messenger” did not speak. The pale-haired cult leader just glanced at everyone in the room calmly, then got up expressionlessly, went to close the entrance of the meeting place, and locked the emergency evacuation. The secret door, and then prayed in a low voice in front of the two doors—black thorns grew rapidly in his prayer, and sealed the door in the blink of an eye.
The skinny cultist who was in charge of leading the way for the visitors stood up immediately when he saw this, “Messenger! This is…” “
Duncan is one of the earliest members among us,” the cult leader said calmly, his gaze Scanning the two piles of black ashes beside the round table, “When do you think he was ‘transformed’?”
The Annihilation Cultists in the room looked at each other, and finally came to their senses one by one, with horrified expressions on their faces after a sudden realization.
“He is among us,” the messenger returned to the round table, looked at the believers gathered here, and said slowly, “Any moment, any person, any face—he has already entered.
” What should we do?” Someone at the round table asked.
“From now on, don’t discuss the secrets of our lord, and don’t exchange information about the sect—as mortals, we are powerless to fight against the shadow of the subspace, but the lord will still witness our courage and tenacity, and we will never again Disclose any information to that ghost, no matter what kind of intimidation and bewitchment he wants to exert here…” The
“messenger” said slowly, and then he opened his hands, and continued to speak solemnly as if preaching—
“I will find a way to get The information about the subspace ghost was passed on, including his method of intrusion and power of demagoguery. At the same time, I will stay here with you. As you can see, I have sealed all the passages here.”
Believers , the time to prove our loyalty to the Lord has come, let us pray—in the deep kingdom, the Lord’s blessing will make our souls live forever, and all the suffering today will be paid in that eternal kingdom.
“Now, begin to pray.”
