Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 547

[Chapter 545 Near dusk]

The captain’s room fell into silence.

Duncan was still staring at the huge and weird eyeball on the draft paper –

it was painted with almost crazy messy brushstrokes, but it was incredibly accurate and expressive, so that anyone could understand every single thing on the picture with just one glance. The meaning of the lines here is as if its true information has been woven into every element that makes up the picture.

In the crazy and messy brushstrokes, the huge eyeball has a deep pupil, and the structure of the surrounding blood vessels and nerve plexus can be vaguely discerned; the outside of the eyeball is obviously covered with a layer of dim material, and Taran Eyre used a lot of fine brushstrokes. Lines are used to describe the layer of things covering the eyeballs, as if trying hard to restore what it is, and the only information Duncan received from the picture is that it is a “shell with a complex structure.”

It was an eye encapsulated in a shell that looked like a gem.

A creaking sound came from the side, and the goat head on the edge of the chart table was turning its head extremely uneasily. It seemed to want to take a look at the contents of the paper, but was hesitant.

After a long while, it hesitantly said: “Captain…what does that look like?”

“It’s an eye.” Duncan was silent for a few seconds, and began to explain to the goat head on the scratch paper while thinking about it. “The structure looks very much like a human eye, and you can see blood vessels and nerve plexuses. It is encapsulated in a spherical shell, but the spherical shell looks very much like an artificial object…” Listening to Duncan’s description

, For the first time ever, Goathead was so quiet.

After a long time, it started to move and made an extremely uneasy sound: “This is really… a terrifying scene… the true appearance of Vision 001 is such a huge eyeball?! Then…then when the sun goes out, aren’t there many people…”

“I’m afraid not many people have actually seen this scene,” Duncan slowly shook his head. “When the sun went out, we also looked up at the sky. All we saw was a sphere that was completely plunged into darkness. The details of it cannot be directly What was observed – it was also drawn on this picture, the eyeball was ‘encapsulated’ in a huge container.

“At that time, Taran El was able to see clearly inside the sphere with the help of the special observation device of the Academy of Truth. As for its true appearance, there is no need to worry that ordinary people elsewhere will casually see this crazy ‘truth’. “

Hearing Duncan’s words, the goat head seemed to be relieved, but then he became worried again: “Not many, that might be some – not everyone has the reaction like Taran El. In a state of loss of control, he instinctively sealed and tampered with the contents of his own records, and based on Taran El’s own subsequent actions, people who saw this eyeball seemed to unconsciously want to spread its appearance…”

Duncan listened to the uneasy words of the goat head, but said nothing. He just remained silent with a sinking face, seeming to be deep in thought. The goat head kept talking for a long time, and when he saw that the

captain had no reaction at all, he finally couldn’t help but remind him: “Captain, Do you think we should remind you…”

“Plande and Hanshuang do not have similar ‘observation’ devices. The lens group is an asset of the Academy of Truth. It is sophisticated and rare.” Duncan finally raised his head, “Besides Qingfeng Harbor Outside, even if someone observed the surface of Vision 001 while the sun was extinguished, they would not see these ‘truths’.

“Plande and Hanshuang don’t have it, but other city-states may have it! ” “The goat head immediately shouted, “Who knows what those reckless fools will do! Mortals are not a reliable race!

“…Other city-states will not see the extinguished sun. ” “Duncan said suddenly.

The excited goat head suddenly became quiet.

“Have you forgotten? “Duncan reminded lightly, “Only the three city-states and the ‘Lost Fleet’ have seen the world where the sun goes out. Other than that, the entire Infinite Sea has not experienced those twelve hours of darkness. “

The goat-headed head shook slightly from side to side, and finally uttered an unexplained exclamation: “Oh… um…”

Duncan did not say anything more, but looked down at the sketch depicting the core structure of Vision 001. , gradually, another scene emerged in his mind – the

brilliantly burning corona, the flesh and blood limbs twisted and twisted under the corona, and the huge dying eyeball surrounded by countless pale flesh and blood limbs.

Creeping Sun Disk – Black Sun.

Duncan’s brows wrinkled little by little. After the vague feeling of familiarity appeared, he couldn’t ignore it. The scene in his mind was quickly compared with the sketch on the paper in front of him, and some bold ideas gradually began to emerge in his mind.

“…It’s very similar to the eyes of the ‘Real Sun God’.” He suddenly whispered to himself.

“Ah?” The goat head was suddenly startled, “What terrible thing are you talking about!?” “

This eyeball is very similar to part of the structure of the ‘Creeping Sun Disk’,” Duncan said thoughtfully, and as he As he recalled the details in his mind, his judgment became more and more certain, “Yes, it’s very similar – if you take out the ‘eyeball’ structure alone and look at it, it’s almost exactly the same.” With a click, the goat-headed

one The neck seemed to be stuck at a certain angle, and it was completely stiff on the chart table, making no sound.

Even if he is as talkative as he is, this is the first time he can’t say a single word.

Duncan exhaled softly, folded the scrap paper, and put it away properly.

Fortunately, Lucretia was cautious enough and did not leave this piece of paper to the ordinary scholars of the Academy of Truth. Otherwise, I really don’t know how much trouble would have happened – although the Academy of Truth does not have his convenient “spiritual fire”. Unlocking the seal on the paper, but they have all kinds of wonderful research methods, maybe they can actually restore the true pattern on the draft paper.

At this moment, a sudden rush of footsteps from outside the captain’s room interrupted Duncan’s thinking. Then, there was a knock on the door and Morris’s voice came from outside: “Captain, I have something to report to you.” !”

Duncan immediately adjusted his expression and looked up at the door: “Come in.”

The door to the captain’s room opened, and Morris walked into the room quickly. As he walked, he took out a letter from his arms: “Captain, Heidi suddenly sent a letter, which mentioned… unusual things that need to be reported to you.”

A letter from Heidi?

Duncan was stunned for a moment and reached out to take the letter. He didn’t expect that the psychiatrist would contact us so soon after establishing contact and telling the truth. But at the same time, he was a little confused: “Why didn’t she just go to Antiques?” I was looking for me at the store? And the letter was delivered to you?”

Ay would go back and forth between the Lost Home and Pland every day. In addition to transporting some necessary supplies, he would also visit the cathedral, Morris’s house, and the Consul’s house every day. It is normal for Heidi to send and receive letters through these channels when doing some routine mail sending and receiving in places like the official residence, but if she wants to contact the captain of the Lost Home, then going directly to the antique store is obviously a more convenient option. .

“…She is still a little nervous and fearful,” Morris explained with a hint of embarrassment in his tone, “Probably because she didn’t dare to meet your incarnation directly after knowing the truth.” “…Excessive nervousness, last week

she You also bought a vase in my store.” Duncan muttered, opened the letter casually, and glanced at the lines of words written on it that were obviously hastily written, and his eyes suddenly changed slightly.

The next moment, Duncan quickly put away the relaxed expression on his face, his expression turned serious, and then gradually became more serious. He quickly browsed the contents of the letter, and then was silent for a few seconds before raising his head to look at Morris: “She met the Evangelist of the End…”

“Yes, and according to the description in the letter, he seems to be a rational kind,” Morris nodded, “Although the ‘reason’ of the uninvited guest is very questionable, from beginning to end He is so nagging that he can’t even explain clearly…”

Apparently, this old man who has taught many students throughout his life and who adheres to the principle of “transmitting knowledge in a concise, straightforward and easy-to-understand way” has no idea about the Riddler mentioned in the letter. The same cultists are extremely dissatisfied and have a lot of resentment.

“The reason for not explaining it clearly may be due to some restrictions. The key is that he is willing to communicate. This is the most significant difference between the two kinds of final evangelists.” Duncan said quickly, and then looked down at the letter. What was mentioned in the letter All kinds of information came into his eyes.

The fourth long night…the promised ark…the sun becoming “mild” and the approaching dusk, and…the “hole” that appeared with a certain “variable” and gradually expanded… Heidi tried her best to restore

it In the letter, she relayed the various rambling remarks she heard from the final preacher, without doing any “additional processing” of those things based on her own guesses.

The information itself was enough to make countless speculations and associations emerge in Duncan’s mind.

“The final preacher didn’t seem to be thinking very clearly, and he appeared during the day instead of at night like other ‘normal’ preachers,” Morris said from the side. “He mentioned the fourth long night, He also mentioned many ‘phenomena’ before the beginning of the fourth long night. It seems that the fact that he can appear in the daytime is also a ‘harbinger’ of the so-called ‘fourth long night’ that is about to begin…” The fourth long night

…

Duncan But in his mind, he couldn’t help but recall the description he saw in the “Book of Blasphemy”:

There are three times of creation, which are the “Three Long Nights”. The King of Pale Giants died in the first long night, the King of Dreams died in the second long night, and the Creeping King finally succeeded in shaping all things in the third long night and joined hands with Cree. The Te clan lit up the current ‘sun’ together and ended the night. However, he himself was exiled by other ancient kings for tampering with the blueprint and could no longer return to the throne…

Duncan slowly stood up from behind the navigation table and came to the window beside.

The sun was almost setting below the sea level.

Bound by the magnificent double rune rings, the dazzling and warm ball of light is gradually sinking into the sea, with a brilliant afterglow.

Duncan stared at it, imagining that he was actually looking at an eyeball that was larger than any other city-state and had been overlooking the world for ten thousand years.

This “eye” that rose into the sky during the ancient kingdom of Crete has now fallen into obscurity.

The warm and peaceful curtain woven by light seems to be about to fall due to the dying sun. After this curtain disappears, after the “fourth long night” described by the evangelist of the end comes… the world’s “Dusk”, what does it look like?
