Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 555

[Chapter 553 Disrupting the Scene]

Passers-by were shouting in fear and scattered. The college guard in front of him suddenly raised his head and immediately pulled out the revolver from his waist.

Just as Nina was halfway through her words, she was suddenly interrupted by this incident. She subconsciously pulled Shirley next to her, and then quickly turned back to look in the direction where the scream came from.

(Crossed the curtain, crossed some invisible boundary.

The roar and noise suddenly expanded to an unbearable level. Sharp pain vibrated in the perception, bright light filled the ears, eyes were stung by the noise, and the skin was blown by the wind. Evaporating and boiling in the middle, the indescribable huge sphere hangs high in the same indescribable sky, expanding and contracting crazily.

Things full of malice are agitated – those expanding and contracting forms are moving around crazily, using their terrifying The roar shook the whole world.

But… where is my weapon? Where is my armor? Where is my partner? Where… am I?)

A horrible, indescribable shape of darkness The “lump” burst out of the air and crashed to the ground.

The mass seemed to be some kind of flesh and blood, but it constantly reflected a metallic cold luster. The strange surface that was constantly reorganized sometimes reflected colorful phantom lights, and something seemed to be roaring and beating in the light.

This terrifying thing caused panic in the crowd, and everyone was running away.

Only the two “Knowledge Guards” on the scene did not hesitate to draw their pistols, take out spell-casting props, and rush towards the terrifying “reality intruder”.

Their shouts reached the ears of Nina and Shirley: “Children, run!”

The guards’ shouts woke Nina up. In the sudden huge chaos, her eyes widened in shock. At the center of the chaos.

She didn’t know if she was delusional.

Because in that brief moment, in those first one or two seconds, or even a shorter moment, she felt that she had seen something far more incredible than that horrible and frightening mass – yes , for that first second, the thing looked… like a person.

She wondered if she had seen it wrong, because the moment was too short, and looking at the reactions of other people around her… no one seemed to notice the scene.

The guards had already rushed forward, because they were still unable to determine the strange characteristics of the sudden “intruder”. They did not shoot rashly, but first smashed several test tubes on the ground nearby. The volatile contents in the test tubes The medicine quickly spreads in the air, forming a “wall of air” that condenses like mist. The sunlight shines on it, refracting psychedelic light.

It was as if some kind of rainbow-like crystal barrier had formed in the surrounding air mass.

The two guards first entered the “air wall”. One of them pointed a gun at the expanding and contracting thing that was rolling and writhing on the ground. The other quickly spread potions and dust on the nearby ground, lit a portable candlestick, and Then he used crystals and metal blocks to build a temporary protective barrier to suppress the movement of that thing.

Immediately afterwards, another sharp whistle came from the other end of the street, and the guards patrolling other parts of the market rushed to support in time. While they dispersed the remaining pedestrians on the road, they walked into the “air wall” and began to skillfully A series of sealing, suppression, and purification processes are carried out.

Nina and Shirley stood not far away, watching this scene with dazzled eyes. They didn’t feel nervous, they just felt it was very novel.

Because although they have been exposed to many extraordinary events until now, they have actually not seen how professional guardians “handle events according to procedures.”

Trained ordinary people follow strict operating regulations and skilled cooperation to control intruders who suddenly appear in the real world – this scene is different from the usual problem-solving style of Uncle Duncan (the captain).

And at this moment, the “lump” with a metallic luster in the center of the “air wall”, like some kind of living steel, suddenly began to violently move again, and the temporary seal that the guardians had hastily constructed with rituals was immediately impacted – -The transparent shell-like structure covering the “invader”‘s body shattered inch by inch, making a harsh and sharp tearing sound. The two knowledge guards who were maintaining the ritual suppression suddenly took a few steps back. The crystal in one of them’s hands The prism instantly shattered into pieces.

But this seems to be the last resistance of the “invader”.

The guards reacted in a panic and were ready to strengthen the seal again, but found that the “living steel” in the center of the field was rapidly weakening and squirming, as if life was rapidly passing away, and weird hissing kept coming from inside it. The hissing and rubbing sounds gradually became lower, and its undulating surface seemed to be gradually solidifying. The metallic “skin” spread a gray color, like a rapidly weathered stone.

In the end, there was almost no movement as a whole, except for a slight residual tremor, like muscle twitching after the death of an animal, that appeared on its surface from time to time.

“The target activity has decreased and stopped reacting to Catalyst 17.”

A guardian holding a revolver in one hand and several test tubes in the other said quickly.

The other guard was holding a particularly heavy book in both hands, staring closely at the “living steel” in the center of the field while sensing something. After a moment, he said: “The target has no thinking activities.” “

Center There are still signs of activity in the area, but they are still fading… No external communication tendency has been detected.”

“The Type III catalyst team is not sensitive and does not belong to any known ‘invasive species’… When will the team from the academy arrive?”

“The letter has been sent. It will take fifteen minutes at the fastest.”

“Understood. Everyone be vigilant, pay attention to their mental state, do not leave the barrier area, and report any unusual information immediately if you see or hear it.” The

guards were professional And quickly dealt with the emergencies here. Even though what entered the real world this time was a “new thing” that was not recorded in the records, they did not appear to be at a loss – until an unexpected voice suddenly came from the side.

“Um…Mr. Guardian, what is this thing?”

Nina dragged Shirley to the “living steel mass” that had almost stopped moving. The two courageous girls carefully observed the thing on the ground. The former couldn’t help but asked curiously about a “matter” with a diameter of nearly two meters.

The knowledge guard closest to them almost jumped up on the spot.

The middle-aged man in a burqa, who looked more like a middle school teacher walking out of the classroom than a warrior, turned his head in horror, only to see the two men standing behind him. The young girl started to walk towards him, as if she wanted to report something – he thought these two girls should have been evacuated immediately, why are they still here now? !

The next second, the guardian realized an even more incredible fact.

“How did you get in?!”

He stared at Nina and Shirley in shock, and quickly glanced behind them from the corner of his eye – the “air wall” used to block the incident area was still intact. Floating several meters away, the barrier with the texture of rainbow crystals in the mist showed no signs of being damaged. He himself did not feel any entity touching the barrier… The two in front of him looked like middle school students

. How did the same girl walk in with such swagger? !

“I walked in,” Nina saw Mr. Guardian’s dumbfounded reaction, and saw the other guards around her acting like they were facing an enemy for a moment, and she finally became a little nervous, “Just… I just walked in. “

Shirley, who was next to her, also nodded quickly, trying hard to use her acting skills that she had practiced since childhood but had not been put to much use in recent times. She pretended to be well-behaved and innocent: “We are just curious, so we came over to take a look, sir…” “Let’s go.

” Coming in?!” The guard stared. The professionalism he had developed over the years allowed him to recite Lachem’s prayer silently in his heart for the first time. At the same time, he held down the handle of the gun with one hand and stared at the two people in front of him. A girl.

A faint silver light appeared in his eyes.

However, Nina and Shirley just stood there harmlessly, like two most ordinary children out shopping.

And Nina really didn’t know what was going on.

She saw the surrounding layer of mist, but she only felt that the layer of gas was some kind of symbolic “demarcation”, like a frame drawn with white paint on the ground. She walked in as a matter of course, without feeling any resistance. Stagnation – just like sunlight can pass through glass as a matter of course.

As for Shirley… Shirley didn’t feel the barrier either.

Because she walks with the sunshine.

The tense and weird confrontation lasted for several seconds. The guards at the scene felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Half of them had a faint silver glow in their eyes. Lachem’s blessing temporarily enhanced their ability to spy on the truth. Observe these two girls who seem ordinary, but whose words and deeds are vaguely suspicious.

However, they found nothing unusual.

Only the middle-aged knowledge guard, who seemed to be the oldest, always had some vague disobedience in his heart. He always felt that there was something hidden in front of him, hidden deep in the smile of one of the girls, so he couldn’t help but look more. He glanced at Nina, his eyes flickering.

But suddenly, he felt that there was no need to continue reading – this unreasonable thought made him unconsciously close the light in his eyes.

The guard rubbed his eyes, and in a daze he forgot the sense of disobedience that had just arisen in his heart.

“Did we disturb your work?” Nina said apologetically.

The guards looked at each other, a few of them exchanged glances quickly, and discussed a few words in low voices.

The middle-aged guard who looked the most senior took a step forward, with a serious expression and a slight vigilance.

“I’m sorry, ladies, can you… please come with us?”

(I have a headache, fever, cough and sore throat. I don’t know if it’s Yang… I wish me good luck.)
