Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 570

[Chapter 568 Night vision]

Duncan rubbed his slightly sore forehead, and while putting away the keys, he recalled his experience in the “mansion”, the message conveyed to him by the ancient god’s wrist in the garden, and The “invading foreign object” appeared next to the cavity inside the mansion.

Alice quickly noticed the captain’s “return”. She pulled up the clothes on her back and turned her head curiously: “The captain is back! Did you find the answer you wanted?” “I got more information

. , but there are only more questions.” Duncan breathed out softly. Looking at Alice’s bright and carefree expression, he temporarily stopped the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and a smile appeared on his face, “But I have made great progress – at least I have a new goal in the near future.”

Alice tilted her head slightly: “New goal?”

Duncan thought for a while and said indifferently: “Catch a few first. Try the Annihilation Cult.”

Why did the “garbage” he threw out of his bachelor apartment float to the Alice Mansion? Why do those things become a breeding shadow in the eyes of the palace servants? What happened to the missing gardener in the mansion? What is the nature of the Cleaner? There seems to be no answer to this series of questions at present, and there is no suitable breakthrough in the short term. However, in another direction, the suggestions given by “Holy Lord Netherworld” are worth a try.

About the state of Vision 001, about the meaning behind those short noises, about the ancient kings, about the truth of the Great Annihilation and several long nights, and the meaning of the so-called end of the cycle… About all of this, the one who is entrenched in the deep. The ancient god of the deep sea obviously knows many inside stories, and he is willing to reveal these inside stories to himself, the “fire usurper”.

Then finding a way to establish a connection with the Deep Sea has become the only path with a clear goal at present, just as the Holy Lord of the Deep Sea personally proposed – try to catch a few Annihilation cultists.

But whenever he thinks of this “suggestion”, Duncan still can’t help but feel a little strange…

Alice didn’t think that much. She was just happy that the captain had a new plan. Although she didn’t understand why, she still had a look of expectation on her face: “Okay, okay, then when will we catch him? Besides, she didn’t understand why.” Where should I catch them?”

“…Cultists are not jellyfish in the sea. You can catch them if you ask them to.” Duncan rubbed his forehead, “Let’s rest today. I will discuss this with Vanna and Morris tomorrow. Something.”

“…Oh,” Alice nodded, but a question quickly popped up, “What is a jellyfish?”

“It’s something that lives…probably in the sea,” Duncan said with muscles on his face. After shaking for a moment, he explained in a very weird way, “They look translucent, some are poisonous, and some are edible.” “Eatable

?” Duncan just explained casually, but he didn’t expect Alice’s eyes to light up instantly. Get up, “Is that delicious?”

Duncan looked strangely: “…You don’t even have a digestive system, why do you care?” “

I can cook it for you!” Alice looked happy, “Captain, in the future there will be It’s time, let’s go catch jellyfish together!”

This topic quickly became aroused. Duncan’s expression almost couldn’t be maintained, and he quickly waved his hands to dismiss the problem: “Okay, okay, I promise you, I will catch and eat it if I have the chance… …”

So Alice left happily and contentedly.

Duncan exhaled softly, shook his head helplessly, and strolled to the window.

Judging from the time, it is now nightfall – Vision 001 has fallen under the sea a few hours ago, and its power has also faded from the world. The “crack” in the creation of the world then appeared in the sky, cold and cold. Overlooking the entire city.

But at the same time, there is still “sunshine” in the sky – that sunshine comes from the “luminous geometry” on the sea near the city-state. The diffuse light passes through the layers of buildings in the city and reaches this area near the city center. After the area, there are only a series of trivial light pillars sweeping across the sky at high altitudes – just like the light and shadow cast by blinds, irregular light pillars sweep across the sky above the city, forming a strange, alienated dusk-like “landscape” .

Under the “cutting” of those sunlights, the Creation of the World in the sky also shows intermittent postures of light and shadow: it no longer stretches across the sky coherently, because where the sunlight sweeps, the Creation of the World is invisible. state, and only in places where the sun cannot shine can you see those cold and pale cracks divided into sections in the sky.

Duncan frowned suddenly. He realized a detail that he had ignored before, and began to observe the thought-provoking “wonderful scene” in the sky with increasing curiosity.

Of course, it is impossible for the luminous geometric object that fell on the sea to project light as high as the Creation of the World – Lucretia and the scholars of Breeze Port have determined its luminous range, which can only cover It is impossible for a city-state and part of the surrounding sea area to touch the sky.

What he sees now is that where the “sunlight beam” sweeps over the city, the creation of the world appears invisible.

So…sunlight actually does not directly act on the creation of the world, but acts on the eyes of the “observer”?

Vision 001 – The real role of the sun is not to suppress the creation of the world, but to prevent the intelligent creatures in the world from observing the creation of the world by covering or filtering it? !

Vaguely, Duncan suddenly felt as if he had touched a very key mechanism of Vision 001.

However, just when Duncan was about to continue thinking along this line of thinking, something strange suddenly appeared in the corner of his eye, interrupting his train of thought.

He immediately took a step forward, pushed open the window and stuck his head out, looking in a certain direction outside the window.

It was another street next to the Crown Block – he still clearly remembered that there were rows of rooftops and high-rise buildings there, and there was an iconic spire located at the deepest part of the block.

But now, a lush jungle shrouded in dusk appeared in his field of vision.

Towering giant trees rise abruptly from the city. The original buildings and spiers in the neighborhood have turned into forest-like structures at some point. There are also tall, bulging structures that look like giant vines spreading out from the forest. Some even extend as far as Crown Street!

Under the intertwined light and shadow of “sunshine” and “creation of the world”, those dark-colored vines grow windingly on the street, wrapping around the buildings facing the street, and then gradually climb up the buildings and high walls, wrapping around the street. The street lights nearby were like tentacles extending from a nightmare, piercing into the real world bit by bit…

Duncan blinked and found that the “abnormality” in his field of vision still existed, and under the interlacing sunlight and the creation of the world, Duncan , seems a little more real than before.

However, there was still silence in the city. No matter it was other blocks in the distance or the buildings that were close in front of us and had been entangled with vines… none of them made a sound.

No one seemed to notice the huge abnormality, even though the lights were still on in several nearby houses. It was obvious that there were people awake and active in the houses until the last second.

Duncan retracted his gaze from the window, turned around and walked quickly to the door. Before he could open the door, hurried footsteps sounded from the corridor outside, and the door was suddenly pushed open.

Alice, who had just left not long ago, hurried back with an obviously panicked expression on her face: “Ship… Captain! Outside! You see outside…”

“I saw it,” Duncan interrupted the nervous puppet, who was stuttering. “It may be some kind of alien world or illusion that covers a wide range, but it has not affected our house yet – don’t panic, go Call the others together, we have to figure out what happened.”

After hearing this, Alice finally calmed down a little, nodded quickly, and then turned around and went out while saying quickly: “Oh… Oh, right! You go first Wait, I’ll find the others!”

The puppet trotted away and soon disappeared into the corridor outside. Duncan turned his head and took another look at the “strange scene” on the street outside.

The “forest” that covered a large block still existed, lush and lush in the night like rising shadows, but the vines spreading out from the forest seemed to have stopped growing – many vines of different thicknesses stayed in the crown On the edge of the street, there was no sign of further extension this way.

But this is only what he can observe here, but he cannot be sure what the scene is on the other side of the “forest”.

Just when Duncan began to worry about whether changes had occurred in other parts of the city, Alice’s hurried footsteps appeared in the corridor again, and her nervous voice reached Duncan’s ears at the same time: “Captain, Captain, Captain! It… …Everyone else is gone!”

This time Duncan was finally startled: “Everyone else is gone?”

“Nowhere,” Alice ran over quickly, nodded quickly, and hurriedly held her head with her hands, as if For fear of losing the click, “I just went to Nina and Shirley’s room. They were not there, and neither was Miss Lucretia. There was no response when knocking on the door in other rooms. There were only those clockwork servants in the living room – —They all stayed motionless, looking so scary!”

Duncan’s eyes became serious for a moment, but he still comforted the nervous Alice first, and then narrowed his eyes slightly, gradually spreading his perception out to look for

him. Look at the “marks” on Fanna, Morris and others to try to confirm their situation.

The imprint is still there, but in a… strange state.

“Let’s go downstairs and have a look.” Duncan opened his eyes and waved to the cabinet next to him, letting Ai, who was napping on top of the cabinet, fall on his shoulder. Then he nodded to Alice, “Follow me. Don’t run around.”

Alice nodded immediately: “Okay… okay Captain!”
