Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 602

[Chapter 600 The mechanism of awakening]

Facts have proved that what a truly senior scholar thinks about when thinking about problems is indeed different from ordinary people.

The question Morris raised in his thinking almost instantly lit up the minds of many people.

“A major premise is that the ‘desert’ that Vanna saw and the ‘forest’ that others saw are both part of the unknown person’s dream. So under this major premise, these two ‘places’ are There are two possibilities,” Morris sat on the sofa and spoke slowly about his considerations. “Either, ‘desert’ and ‘forest’ are different places at the same time, or they are the same place at different times – -In any case, they should not be two completely independent systems, time and space, at least one of them should be connected.”

Nina tried hard to follow the old man’s train of thought, and then suddenly asked curiously: “Why is it impossible? Are they both different places and different times?”

“Just because they are in the same ‘dream’,” Morris explained, “Two or more completely independent time and space systems cannot appear in a dream, otherwise they would be two They are unrelated dreams – at least, the current knowledge system I have does not support this assumption.”

“Oh…” Nina said a long “oh” and nodded in understanding.

Duncan was still thinking about the two situations that Morris had just raised, and he was constantly deducing in his mind which known clues corresponded to the two models of “different times at the same place” and “different places at the same time”. After a while, he put this complicated issue aside and said, “I would like to remind you that in addition to ‘desert’ and ‘forest’, there is actually a ‘place’ that is free from the boundaries of reality. It is not in dreams. But it is obviously also part of the dream of the unknown.”

“…that dark space filled with mist, in which the reflection of the Lost Home sailed,” Morris said seriously immediately, “I have been thinking about this issue, as you can see Which part of the unknown man’s dream does the dark mist correspond to?

“The most likely guess at the moment is that it is located at the border of the ‘wake-up’. You can touch the echoes of Silantis on the Lost Home, but you cannot directly see the situation in the dream. This is very strange. It conforms to the characteristics of the dream border, but it is obvious that the scale of the ‘border’ of the Nameless One’s Dream is quite large, so much so that a ship is even allowed to float aimlessly in it…” Duncan recalled that he was lost in the reflection of the ship

. The “streaming light” seen on the Xianghao, and the voice from Selendis heard in the streaming light, gradually revealed a thoughtful expression.

The Lost Home is the dream of the Goat Head. It sails to the dream border of Silantis. Silantis seems to have been waiting there for Sasloka. However, the Goat Head in the dream told Duncan that Sasloka Ka is dead, died a long, long time ago…

After thinking for a moment, Duncan shook his head. Then, he discovered a small inconsistency in the scene, and his eyes couldn’t help but fall on Lucretia: ” Where is Rabbi?”

“You finally noticed,” Lucretia said with a smile on her face. “Rabbi has not come back. He has jumped into other dreams and should still be chasing those prey at this moment.” Duncan was stunned

. It took him a moment to realize what Lucretia meant.

That weird rabbit doll actually tracked those cultists?

“It will emerge from the nightmares of those cultists, and then leave coordinates in the real world that are enough to summon you. I have told the rabbi to stay alive,” Lucretia continued, “Don’t worry, here It’s still reliable in this matter.”

Duncan nodded slowly.

And at this moment, he seemed to suddenly hear something, frowned slightly, and looked at the coffee table aside.

He stretched out his hand and gently brushed it on the coffee table. The green flame spread on the table like a phantom, and the outline outlined by the flame suddenly showed a mirror-like texture – Agatha’s figure gradually emerged from the mirror. emerge.

“Agatha,” Duncan looked at the lady who appeared in the mirror, “is there anything going on on the ship?”

“I may have found the reason why the Nameless Man’s dream ‘awoke’ this time, and it’s in the first mate,” Agatha nodded and said quickly, “If possible, I hope you can come back.”

…

Qingfeng In the waters surrounding the port, a flame door suddenly opened on the deck of the Lost Home, which was sailing in the fog, and then the figures of Duncan and Alice stepped out of the door.

Duncan turned back and glanced at Alice, who had followed him back.

The doll followed her as a matter of course. When she saw Duncan looking at her, she just showed her signature smile happily: “Hey – I’m following you again!”

Duncan sighed helplessly. , waved his hand to the puppet: “Okay, I’ll go to the captain’s cabin to check the situation. You can go to the cabin where the food is stored and check the barrels that had problems before.” “Hey!

Good captain!”

Alice Leaving happily, as if with a great sense of mission, Duncan watched the puppet leave, then he curled his lips and walked towards the captain’s cabin.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw the goat head on the edge of the navigation table turning his head quickly, and the pair of dark obsidian eyes staring straight at him, and on the wall not far away, in the simple oval mirror It was Agatha – for some reason, this always calm and reliable “gatekeeper” lady had a tired or even hopeless expression at this time.

Duncan was stunned when he saw Agatha’s tired and dying expression, but before he could ask about the situation, he heard the goat-headed voice suddenly rang out: “Captain, you are finally here!

Your loyal omission has been waiting for a long time. Ah! Is what Agatha said true? The dream of the Nameless Man appeared again last night? And you saw the goat head exactly like me again? She also said that the Homeless Ship with a strange atmosphere was from It came out of my dream, but I didn’t know I was dreaming. She also said that it was because of my ‘shock spirit’ that the nameless man was awakened from his dream, and it also interrupted your actions, but I didn’t know it happened at all. Why do you have to believe me? I really didn’t want to hide it from anyone who knew last night…”

At this moment, Duncan almost felt that the rumbling noise had condensed into a solid wall, and it hit him head-on. Come over, the chattering sound was like a drill in the ears and eyes, and his head started to buzz in an instant. It wasn’t until a few minutes later that he suddenly woke up, and quickly reached out and waved: “Stop! Shut up!” The goat head

instantly It stopped, and a strange “bang” sound came from the connection between the neck and the base – it was almost like the previous series of noises were so powerful that even braking on the subject would make a sound. .

Then Duncan heard Agatha sighing as if she had been granted amnesty from the mirror next to her: “It’s finally over…”

Duncan glanced at the lady in the mirror with a strange look on his face.

“As you ordered, I did not hide what happened last night from the first mate,” Agatha reported to the captain with a tired look on her face. “And then it was like this – it kept following me before you came. Talking, wherever I hide, I can hear its talking, talking, talking… In the Frost Cemetery, I met an undead man who was framed and his family was ruined. He died in vain for three days and then lied to death out of resentment. He couldn’t even talk about it. ! It makes more noise in one minute than twenty old women complaining about the increase in bread prices at the Civic Center!”

Agatha said this, and added with great grief and anger: “And it’s useless for me to shut up! It only listens to you!”

Duncan finally understood what was going on with Agatha’s “I might as well have died in a big hollow under the frost” expression on her face when she walked in.

It took him a lot of effort to control his expression, and tried to comfort the other person with a straight face: “…You have worked hard.”

Agatha sighed, and the figure in the mirror was divided into several pieces, indicating that she had been torn apart. I don’t want to think and respond anymore.

Duncan: “…”

He felt that he probably shouldn’t instill too many strange concepts into his crew. When they implemented certain abstract words, they were simply more abstract than abstract words.

Ignoring Agatha who was in a split state, Duncan set his sights on the goat head again.

This dark wooden sculpture looked straight at him. Perhaps because it had held back too many words, its hard wooden face looked a little distorted.

“Don’t talk too much nonsense,” Duncan emphasized first, and then spoke seriously, “Secondly, everything Agatha said is true.” The goat-headed head moved and

opened its mouth several times. Only then did he finally hold back his words: “I…did I really turn the reflection of the Lost Home into the ship you saw in that dark space in my sleep?” “Or to put it another way,” Duncan said

calmly Staring into the eyes of the goat head, “When night falls in the Breeze Harbor, your dream will sail on the border of the nameless man’s dream.”

The goat-headed head shook creakingly, and it looked extremely troubled: “But I really don’t know… I was steering the helm soberly, and the chart also recorded the path of the Lost Home, which has nothing to do with my memory. No deviation…”

Agatha’s voice suddenly came from the side: “Then how do you explain your ‘shudder’ when morning comes?” The

goat head stopped talking.

Duncan raised his head and looked at the oval mirror on the wall.

Agatha, who was still cracking just now, has recovered now and is looking here seriously.

“I came back here immediately after escaping from the dream of the Nameless One,” Agatha said. “I saw the first mate waking up from some kind of… trance. He said he was distracted, but I can It is certain that the reflection of the Lost Home was restored at the moment it ‘waked up’ – if I guessed correctly, this should also be the reason why the Nameless Man’s dream was ‘awakened’ this time. “So I guess

, Regardless of whether it is Silantis or the ‘first officer’, as long as one of them wakes up, the dream of the Nameless One will end. ”
