Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 567

[Chapter 565 Quick and Hasty Communication]

In the deepest part of Alice’s mansion, at the edge of this strange garden, in the shadows between the lush bushes and bushes, there are winding and strange things, as if covered with thin metal The scaly tentacles are swimming and crawling!

The rustling sound came from another direction again, and out of the corner of my eye I saw another dark-colored tentacle, as if some kind of soft-bodied creature’s limbs passed through the gaps between the shrubs, shaking the branches, Rubbing against the rough soil, it made a soft sound.

The soft rustling sound sounded like a call.

Duncan instantly expanded his perception, carefully paying attention to any disturbance in the garden, and at the same time locked in the direction where one of the tentacles had just disappeared, and walked towards it.

Behind him, at his feet, the green spiritual flame began to burn with his footsteps, leaving a faint flame path. This flame spread quietly along the gaps on the ground, and penetrated into the depths of the garden bit by bit. .

This is the “Alice Mansion”, which is most likely a vital part of Alice’s “soul”. Of course, Duncan would not set fire to such a place casually, but now that strange things have appeared deep in the garden, he must do the same. A lot of response work – if something dangerous really invaded the garden, he would have to find a way to deal with the intruder without destroying the mansion itself.

With vigilant thoughts in his mind, Duncan had followed the guidance of the rustling sound and gradually came to a place far away from the “sleeping doll” and arrived at an edge area of the mansion garden. After passing through several bushes, After passing a few unknown small trees, he noticed that the surrounding light had dimmed, and the light brought by the “graffiti sun” in the sky seemed unable to extend so far – between the shades of the plants, it was as dim as dusk.

And in this dusk-like “skylight”, he saw a clump of plants in front of him suddenly swaying, and then a tentacle slowly lifted up from there and swayed gently in front of his eyes.

There was no secret, no pretense, this tentacle seemed to have deliberately invited Duncan to come, and now it showed up openly.

Duncan looked at this strange and inexplicable “limb” in surprise –

the tentacles were dark in color, with a fine structure like fine metal scales on the surface, and faint light blue lines could be seen between the rough and complex protrusions. This pattern felt very familiar to him, just like…

the pattern on the surface of the ancient god’s touch hand under the frost, in the deep sea.

The body of the Holy Lord Netherworld? !

Duncan’s heart suddenly became excited, and he suddenly realized the source of this feeling of familiarity. The moment he thought of the “Holy Lord Netherworld” in his mind, the tentacles swinging blindly in the air suddenly trembled. , as if a distant and huge consciousness was finally connected to this limb –

it bent in the direction of Duncan, accompanied by a strange, low buzzing sound, the end of the tentacle slowly opened, and a flash An “eyeball” with a cold blue shimmer, like an irregular crystal, appeared from inside, “gazing” into Duncan’s eyes.

“Hello, Fire Usurper, I have something to tell you.”

A deep, muddy voice with no discernible emotion or gender suddenly came, as if it sounded directly in his mind.

Duncan was startled for a moment, frowning and staring at the tentacle in front of him: “The Holy Lord of the Deep? The Creeping King? LH-01?” “They are all, but please listen to me now,”

the tentacle trembled, It seems that it has begun to bear a load that far exceeds its threshold, and the voice it conveys quickly becomes low and distorted. It speeds up its speech speed, “My opportunity to communicate with you is extremely limited. Now I only convey necessary information, no matter what. Do you understand? Now remember:

“The design life of ￥#%￥# is only eight thousand years. Now it is overloaded. We did not receive signals beyond the &*%￥ within the time limit… “This is the last

time Cycle reset, ￥*(￥# will not be regenerated after this cycle.

“Save the fallen ￥#&** fragments. If everything is irreparable, use them to extend the life of each node city as much as possible. Keep alive. Survival is the first order. “We don’t know what you can do, but you are in the loop

. When I wake up, this must mean something.

“We firmly believe that you, and we, are not alone.

“The above necessary information has been passed on – if there is an opportunity, I hope to communicate with you face to face in a more stable situation…”

Touching the wrist The tremors were rapidly diminishing, and the fine scales with a metallic texture had begun to be covered with a layer of dying paleness. Duncan could even clearly feel that the voice in his mind was rapidly moving away and weakening – although he did not understand the specific principles and processes, he could easily tell. Obviously, the ancient god known as the “Secret Holy Lord” had exploited a loophole or used some external force to forcibly establish a connection with himself, and now this extremely limited connection was about to be interrupted. Duncan didn’t care at all

. He went up to be curious and think deeply about the information that the other party had poured over him. With rational judgment, he chose to write it down quickly and forcefully. After the other party finished speaking, he had time to turn his head and think about what he had just heard. What. The

first thing he noticed was those “noises” – when the ancient god was talking to himself, there were several key pieces of information, which should be important nouns, that turned into sharp and confusing sounds in his ears. Sound.

It’s as if the “meaning” in those syllables has been filtered out by something, or the meaning represented by those syllables exceeds the limit of what this communication can carry, so that it cannot be conveyed to my ears at all. But

now Obviously it was not the time to question those “noises” in detail.

The ancient god’s whisper was about to fade away, and only the last trace of the connection he had barely established with himself was left. Duncan raised his head and saw that the tentacles were all over the surface. The crack may last only a few seconds.

He finished thinking in an instant, and seized this last moment to ask: “If I want to find you, how should I go to the deep sea?”

Going to the deep sea and communicating with the other party face to face is undoubtedly the simplest and most effective way to solve all questions. .

The arm of the ancient god has slowly become stiff, and the faded fragments continue to fall like dust. The powerful and indescribable will gradually fades from this fragile carrier, but before the connection with the real world is completely interrupted, He still tried his best to hold on to this last bit of maintenance, and cast a low murmur in Duncan’s mind –

“I don’t know.”

Duncan: “…?”

He finally realized that the people around him were usually confused by his words. How does it feel when your brain shuts down?

He really didn’t expect that Holy Lord Yousui would reply to him like this!

But he was only stunned for a moment, and then he heard the vague and low murmur in his mind again –

“Try to catch a few Annihilation cultists…”

“Ah?” Duncan didn’t react at once, “They are not Are you your believer?”

However, there was no voice to respond to his question – the whisper conveyed to him by the ancient god was finally completely interrupted, accompanied by a crackling sound, the ” The Tentacle finally collapsed completely. It turned into dust and debris and fell to the ground, rising into curls of green smoke and disappearing.

The rustling sounds surrounding the edge of the mansion garden also completely stopped at the same time, and the unusual dim feeling among the shades of trees also faded away.

Duncan continued to stand quietly in front of the bushes for a while. It was not until a few minutes passed that he frowned and shook his head, waking up from his meditation.

Everything that just happened was still like a dream. The ancient god known as the “Holy Lord of the Netherworld” actually ran directly in front of him, talked to him quickly about a bunch of things and then left quickly. This kind of thing should not happen to him. If it were placed in Qingfeng Port, even if it was placed in the entire boundless sea, it would probably explode.

However, if you put it next to you…it doesn’t seem to be so explosive?

Duncan turned around and looked back at the lush “mansion garden” not far away under the skylight, as well as the silver-haired doll sleeping quietly in the sunny open space in the center of the garden.

Anomaly 099, which was born due to the “copying” ability of the Lord of the Deep, is closely connected to Alice. In the final analysis, this entire “mansion” has thousands of connections with the “ancient god” in the deep sea. Inextricably linked, it is even very likely that it was a carrier intentionally created by the ancient god to convey information to the outside world.

Therefore, it does not seem unimaginable to see the power projection of the Netherworld Holy Lord in the deepest part of the mansion garden.

Duncan was thinking about something else –

the attitude, or “state” of Holy Lord Netherworld seemed to be different from what he expected. He was still rational, but seemed to be in some extremely restricted state. His attitude is friendly and not purely destructive as the world imagines.

But these “deviations” are meaningless to Duncan. After all, few people in this world have actually come into contact with those so-called “ancient gods”. The imaginable information is inherently inaccurate. In addition, the differences in the eyes of different individuals The “Ancient God” may also show a different attitude. In his own eyes, the kind and harmless good neighbor is somewhat indescribable in the eyes of ordinary people. After adapting to this world for so long, Duncan is very good in this regard. Still somewhat self-aware.

The most important thing was the “information” that the ancient god told him.

Duncan recalled those words that seemed to contain a huge amount of information over and over in his mind –

something had a design life of only eight thousand years, and now it was running overload.

The “we” mentioned by Holy Lord Yousui seem to have been waiting for a signal to be sent back from somewhere, but so far no response has been received.

The other party also mentioned loop reset…what does this mean?

What does it mean that I, the “fire usurper”, wakes up at the end of the cycle?

And preserve the fallen fragments to extend the life of Node City…

In meditation, Duncan’s expression gradually became solemn.
