Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 607

[Chapter 605 Duncan’s problem-solving ideas]

The image in the mirror gradually faded, but Duncan still stood in front of the mirror, lost in thought for a long time.

He did not hide the situation of his “incarnation” from Lucretia, nor did he hide the power related to the incarnation – his “messenger” Ai can move quickly between the “beacons” formed by the avatar. His power and main consciousness can also switch between incarnations instantly. This ability is powerful and convenient, but in Qingfeng Port, he did not arrange such an “incarnation”.

One of the reasons is of course that he has not found a “suitable” carrier, but the more important reason is that he has not told anyone else.

He looked at the mirror in front of him and looked at his current face in the mirror.

I don’t know since when, I have completely adapted to this once very unfamiliar face, this powerful body, this majestic and gloomy appearance… It has become his “codename” for living in this world.

A soul named “Zhou Ming” occupies this body, just like the other two bodies of Purander and Hanshuang, and as time goes by, he adapts to them and adapts well.

And he believes that even if there are new, long-term “incarnations”, he will soon adapt, whether it is one, ten, or even more, he can “adapt”.

He found that his mind was far tougher and… weirder than he thought. Controlling multiple identities and multiple lives at the same time would not bring much burden to him, and the schizophrenia and personality disorders that he once worried about did not appear. .

But he still subconsciously controlled his urge to add a new “incarnation” and controlled the idea of finding a corpse in Qingfeng Harbor to serve as a “beacon”.

What Duncan is worried about is not losing himself due to too many incarnations – he knows that the remaining emotions and memories read when occupying these bodies have a minimal impact on himself, and those weak wills cannot shake his spirit in the slightest. .

He was worried about other things.

If he just gradually regards “occupying corpses” as a habit and regards controlling multiple destinies as an insignificant “way of doing things”, maybe one day, something worse than “losing himself” will happen – when he After occupying dozens or hundreds of vivid lives, can he still take the “aftermath issues” of those incarnations as seriously as he does now?

By then, the next “Nina” may appear, but he will no longer be a conscientious “Uncle Duncan”.

Human nature will pass away unconsciously.

So after realizing this, he decided to treat the issue of “new incarnations” in the future with great caution – unless the situation was really suitable or extremely necessary.

Of course, temporarily occupying the bodies of certain cultists for the purpose of investigation is not within the scope of his prudence – that is a one-time “daily disposable” consumable.

A thin layer of black smoke quietly appeared in the mirror, and Agatha’s figure appeared in the depths of the smoke.

Seeing the captain looking in the mirror, Agatha quickly shrank back and shrank her own image in the corner of the mirror, then looked at Duncan: “Are you still thinking about the suggestion that Miss Lucretia just gave you? ‘?”

“…Perhaps she still has some doubts about me,” Duncan sighed softly. “Her suggestion was somewhat tentative, but that’s not what I’m thinking about now.”

Agatha He nodded and did not pursue the question, but changed the topic: “What are our plans next?” “It’s

very simple. The Lost Home continues to sail north until it crosses the northern channel of Qingfeng Port. Let’s take a look. With such a long distance, will the Dream of the Nameless One still appear? Let’s see if the Reflection Lost Home will still appear in Selantis’s dream. Vanna and the others will continue to act according to the previous plan. ——The most noteworthy thing now is the Rabbi’s side. The rabbit is lurking on the ship of the Annihilation cultists, and those cultists will hold a meeting before nightfall today. I am very curious… what they are going to do at the gathering.”

As he spoke, Duncan exhaled softly, with a hint of expectation in his expression: “Next, just wait for the news from Lucretia.” Agatha listened silently, waiting for the

captain to say After that, she couldn’t help but ask a question she had been curious about for a long time: “Then if the dream of the Nameless Man is really unaffected and reappears, how are you going to go to the ‘Reflection Lost Home’ sailing in the dark fog?” ‘? Your body remains on the ship at the moment, and the ‘vine’ will only appear in Qingfeng Harbor…”

Duncan smiled and looked at Agatha in the corner of the mirror: “Do you still remember, the last time the Nameless One The dream ended prematurely precisely because I touched the vines from the real world and entered that dark space. As an ‘outsider’, I took the helm of the Reflection Lost Home. After returning to reality, I tell you that I have I came up with an idea to solve this problem.”

Agatha frowned and said doubtfully: “The idea you mentioned…”

Duncan smiled, turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the window next to him, and in the mirror in front of him, he slowly He slowly lowered his head and looked at Agatha who was in the same mirror as him.

Duncan in the mirror bent down and touched Agatha, whose image had shrunk to the size of a palm, with his fingers: “This is my train of thought.” Agatha was

startled for a moment, and she raised her head in the mirror world. Looking at the captain who had also entered the mirror world, he was stunned for two or three seconds and finally let out a soft exclamation – and then cracked the floor.

Duncan sighed helplessly in the mirror, bent down and picked up Agatha piece by piece, saying as he did so: “You should try to use a more flexible way of thinking to face life on this ship. In terms of adaptability. , I need to study more with Maurice or Vanna – the former can even accept Shirley’s homework now…” …

Lucretia

sat in front of the mirror in a daze for a while. After an unknown amount of time, she finally I heard Rabbi Rabbit’s voice coming from the crystal ball not far away: “Mistress, are you worried that the old master will be angry with you?”

Lucretia turned her head: “Why do you say that?”

“Because the last suggestion you made seems to be testing the old master, testing whether he really maintains the cognition and ‘humanity’ of a normal person. The old master may not Will you care about this…”

“I didn’t mean to test my father, I just… didn’t think about it that much,” Lucretia said casually, but then she frowned and looked at the shallow expression that appeared in the crystal ball. Dan Phantom said, “It’s a shame that you still have time to listen to the conversation between my father and me – it sounds very leisurely.” “

Rabbi is relieving stress, Rabbi is in danger~~ Rabbi must be in the best condition Come and complete the task ordered by the mistress~~~” The rabbit doll’s high-pitched and annoying tone immediately came from the crystal ball, “There are only terrible cultists here. They are stupid and ugly. The rabbi must talk to the mistress. , can you control your own state and avoid ~eating them all~~~”

Lucretia ignored the outrageous and weird parts of the rabbi’s words and said expressionlessly: “Whatever, I don’t care. How are you going to complete the mission? Anyway, if you are really discovered by that ‘saint’, don’t expect me to save you.” “

But the mistress will definitely come, the rabbi knows~~ You will take the rabbi out of the spiritual world again. Get it back and sew Rabbi into a new rag doll~~Can it be a bear next time?” “That’s

a lot of nonsense.” Lucretia tapped the crystal ball casually.

The rabbit finally calmed down.

…

The huge anomaly 001 is gradually sinking. The sun turns into a brilliant sunset and crosses the waves. The light shining in from the window becomes gentler. After a whole day of repairs, the condition of the dead bird has finally improved. Quite a few.

The time for the assembly is almost here, and now you can hear footsteps coming from outside the cabin from time to time, as well as the voices of compatriots greeting each other.

The tall, thin man with a sinister face got up from the bed and listened to the noise outside.

He’d spent most of the day lying in bed trying to adjust to himself and the bird, and now he’d had enough.

The Annihilation cultist named Richard took a long breath, went to the closet in the corner, and took out the black hooded robe to be worn for the rally.

He actually doesn’t like this kind of robe – although most dark believers are used to this kind of dress and believe that this kind of clothing that can cover the whole body helps to calm the spirit and help them get closer to the Lord’s enlightenment in meditation, but he has never liked it. I think so.

This kind of robe is not comfortable to wear, and it is not suitable for moving in the city-state at all. It has an old-school and stubborn texture. Wearing it makes people feel like the exiled prisoners who were hiding in caves and slowly rotting hundreds of years ago. As for its effect of “precipitating the spirit”, it is even more ridiculous –

how can a true devout person need a robe to concentrate his energy to get closer to the Holy Lord?

But now, Richard found himself liking the look.

It doesn’t feel that bad to cover your entire body among fellow humans.

He put the robe on his body and pulled the hood as low as possible until it covered his eyes – with a sense of relief coming to his mind, he sighed softly, and then walked to the door.

Before pushing the door open, a breeze suddenly blew in the cabin, and it seemed like a light body was jumping towards him. Richard felt his body sink slightly, as if something was hanging on his shoulders. .

A soft voice said in his ear: “You took away the rabbi’s cotton… Now, let’s set off.” “

Okay, let’s set off.”

Richard whispered softly, accompanied by the sound of his vocal cords and trachea. Trembling, he seemed to feel something itching on his chest, warm and soft…

it was just cotton.

Cotton is growing.

He smiled reassuringly and reached out to open the door.

Figures wearing the same black hooded robes were walking through the corridors, heading to the meeting place deep in the cabin. They were talking in low voices, discussing the Dream of the Unknown, saints, allies, and news about the Final Evangelist.

Then Richard and the rabbi set out.
