Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 605

[Chapter 603 The Consciousness of a Fishing Master]

Dong Dong Dong.

A sudden knock on the door interrupted the sinister man’s brief confusion when he saw the ball of cotton. He immediately retracted his gaze and turned to look in the direction where the knock on the door came from.

After briefly feeling the breath at the door, he stepped to the door and opened the padlock.

A man wearing a dark hooded robe, half of his face hidden in the shadow of the hood, stood at the door. He was a little dissatisfied with the door opening too slowly: “Why did it take so long to open the door?” “I am not your servant, Du Meng.

” The sinister man in the room frowned, obviously not in a good mood, “Don’t take the saint’s temporary preference too seriously.” “

Whatever you think, Richard, I’m just giving you a reminder,” said The Annihilation cultist who is Du Meng said calmly, “Don’t let fear linger in your heart for too long. Something was wrong after you evacuated from the Dream of the Nameless One two days ago. Your cautious fear and slowness and suspicion have attracted the attention of the saints. He You haven’t expressed your dissatisfaction yet, but if you keep doing this, it will be harmful to our cause…” Before

Du Meng could finish his words, the Annihilation Cult known as Richard suddenly took a step forward, almost touching that sinister face. Kong pressed directly in front of the opponent’s hood: “You can go in and try, instead of staying in the safe real world and talking like this!” “I will go,”

Du Meng said calmly, Facing the other party’s provocation and unkind attitude, he didn’t mind at all. He just calmly took a half step back and said, “Tonight, as the next batch of voters, I will enter the Dream of the Unknown with you.” Richard finally put it away

. With an unkind look on his face, he looked at the other party in surprise: “The Saints have decided to send the next group of people? Has the plan been advanced?”

“Otherwise? What you reported has been taken seriously. Now the saints know that there is a dangerous force that is our enemy in the Dream of the Nameless One, and they know that another force is taking action – our ‘ally’ There is also news that they seem to have fought each other a long time ago.” Du Meng spread his hands and shook his head, “Put away your complaints and suspicions. I know you encountered difficulties in your previous actions, but you are in a situation where Among compatriots, the Holy Lord blesses us.”

“…The Holy Lord blesses us,” Richard finally exhaled softly, his face completely softened, “I was a little excited just now.” “It’s understandable

. After all, you were injured in the last operation, and you encountered danger in the last operation. These traumas will cause a lot of mental burden,” Du Meng said, raising his head and glancing behind Richard—— There was a faint smoke and dust floating in the air, and an illusory and transparent black chain floated in the air. The “death bird” at the end of the chain was landing on a nearby cabinet with some dejection. It was obviously not in a good condition, “So you are sure that you are not Do you need two more days of rest? In your current state, even if you miss an operation, everyone will not have any objection.”

“No need,” Richard immediately shook his head, his eyes became alert again, “Piety to the Holy Lord is My most powerful force, I will adjust my condition before tonight.”

“…Since you are so determined, I will tell the saints,” Du Meng nodded and said, “In addition, since you do not plan to miss tonight’s action , then get ready, go to the assembly hall before nightfall, the saints will announce something.”

Richard looked into the eyes of the people outside the door, and nodded after a moment: “Okay.”

Du Meng didn’t say anything else, just He took another half step back and watched silently as the door in front of him was closed. Then a faint smile appeared on the face that had always maintained a calm and indifferent look, and he turned and walked towards the depths of the cabin corridor.

Another hooded, stocky Annihilation cultist came out of the shadows in the corner of the corridor and walked side by side with Dumont.

After walking a certain distance, an Annihilation cultist named Du Meng suddenly broke the silence: “Richard’s situation is not good. His demon is weakening and his spirit is losing balance. Soon, the symbiosis contract will kill him.” Dragging him into death – fate is approaching this guy.”

“This is the fate he chose. Yousui will remember his sacrifice,” another believer whispered, “We will eventually return to the place of origin. , it’s just different sooner or later… But I’m really curious, why is his mental imbalance so serious? Other people who have entered the Dream of the Nameless One have also encountered various failures, and some have even been seriously injured by ‘corrosion’. They escaped from the dream state in a dead state, but their mental state is not that bad…”

Du Meng stopped and looked back at the closed door in the distance.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and shook his head: “There is a difference between serious injury and serious injury.”

He turned around and continued to walk forward, while continuing unhurriedly: “Encountering erosion in the dream, fighting against the danger. Die, all you need to do when you come back is to rest with honor, but in the dream, you are beaten half to death with a dog by an underage girl, and you fall off the bed yelling – and you are still in the assembly hall, and you are retrieved by the saints on the spot. If you lose your memory, you need more than just recuperation.”

After finishing these words, the two Annihilation cultists were silent in unison and continued to walk forward slowly. After a while, the short and stocky cultist appeared. He muttered thoughtfully: “This is really scary…” “

…Yes, this is really scary.”

In the cabin, Richard sat on the bed with a gloomy face, listening to the sounds in the corridor gradually fade away. His expression became more ferocious every second.

His symbiotic demon, the Death Bird, was lying weakly on the low cabinet next to him. The light mist released from this bird-shaped demon floated in the air as if it had substance, and spread in all directions, enhancing the “master’s” perception. .

But after a while, he still restrained the urge to continue to release his senses, and was driven by reason to take back the power of the death bird.

He must restore himself and the contracted demon as soon as possible, and must prove himself in the next actions – the end of the cycle is approaching, the dusk of this world will soon come, can the followers of Youshuo survive in the deep sea era? Gaining a place in the unknown era that follows, actions in that “dream” are crucial.

Proving yourself in that “dream” will be the best shortcut to eternal glory.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, but his hand inadvertently touched another soft thing on the bed.

It’s still that ball of cotton.

Richard picked up this thing with some confusion, raised his head and looked around the cabin, which was not spacious, as if looking for the source of this inexplicable cotton.

Ran out of the blanket?

He searched around the room but couldn’t find the source of the cotton. Finally he came to the window and scratched his hair in confusion.

Why do you care so much about a ball of cotton?

The Annihilation cultist was confused for a moment, then shrugged – forget it, it’s just a ball of cotton, there’s no need to pay so much attention.

He unzipped the clothes on his chest, touched the skin, found a zipper, unzipped it, and stuffed the ball of cotton into the squirming flesh.

A soft laugh suddenly came from the corner of the room, as if it was a little girl of five or six years old, hiding in the closet looking at the clumsy adult, laughing softly.

The death bird on the low cabinet seemed to notice something, but it just raised its head and glanced suspiciously at the direction from which the sound came, and then lowered its head again.

…

“The rabbi found a stronghold of those cultists?”

In the captain’s room of the Brilliant Star, Lucretia was sitting in front of the dressing table. Green flames danced on the edge of the dressing mirror in front of her, and the candlestick was It burned quietly in front of the mirror, and my father’s voice came from the mirror.

“Yes,” Lucretia nodded in front of the mirror, “The stronghold is actually on a ship, and judging from the current situation, they are not ‘hiding’ on the ship, but have complete control of the big ship, and that There are a large number of Annihilation Cults gathered on the ship… It should be an important stronghold.” “

… That rabbit has made great achievements,” Duncan in the mirror nodded seriously, with emotion in his tone, ” Those cultists are elusive and never operate with a high profile in the city-state. It is very difficult to catch them. We didn’t expect that they could find a gathering point this time… and hide them on a ship. This really exceeded our expectations.” “That ship

. The size of the ship was not small, and it seemed to be a place specially prepared for various dark and bloody rituals. The rabbi smelled a strong smell of blood on the ship, which was the residual smell of many sacrifices – there was definitely nothing that could be done about this kind of ship. Just like an ordinary ship docking in the city-state, the remaining aura of the dark ritual cannot be hidden from the church, so there must be a supply port behind it…” Listening to Lucretia’s analysis,

Duncan in the mirror began to think. After a while, he suddenly asked: “The rabbi is still hiding on the boat? Will he be discovered?”

“It is very good at hiding, unless it takes the initiative to talk to some high-ranking believers on the boat, such as that ‘Saint’ “Front-on confrontation will not be exposed under normal circumstances,” Lucretia said. “It is a shadow from the spiritual world that can be hidden in people’s emotions and perceptions. On that ship, the environment full of negative atmosphere itself is It’s the best cover.”

“Okay,” Duncan nodded, “Then let Rabbi continue to hide, don’t contact that ‘saint’, and collect as much intelligence as possible.”

His original plan was to find Rabbi After the cultists found their hiding place, they immediately asked them to construct a mirror ritual, allowing themselves to “arrive” at the scene in person. Then, before the cultists were all dead, they quickly teleported all their followers there, and then beat the cultists. Beat them until they are unconscious before their symbiotic demon kills himself, and see how many he can catch in the end.

The entire plan is very concise and efficient, and has been highly recognized by Fanna.

But now it seems…the “big fish” that Rabbi found is bigger than everyone imagined, so naturally the problem cannot be solved so simply and crudely.

As an expert fisherman, he had to make the line longer.
