Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 633
[Chapter 630 Countless Threads]
“I think you shouldn’t call me going to Frost Cathedral every Friday to collect the salary of the cemetery guard as a ‘subspace invasion’. This is somewhat imprecise…” Sailing in the shallow depths of the spiritual
world On the Homeless Ship, Duncan said to Vanna in his heart while inspecting the large wooden box that Ai had just sent from Pland.
“It is precisely because of strictness that I say this,” Vanna’s reply was serious, and it was even difficult for Duncan to judge whether the inquisitor lady was joking. Then she paused again and her tone became more serious. “And to be honest, I have never quite understood why you insist on using your avatar to collect that ‘salary’ yourself – you know, the ‘Agatha’ of Frost is willing to assign a team of guards to you Mr. Tirian has always wanted to give your ‘incarnation’ a better place over there, but you still insist on guarding those cemeteries…”
Duncan stopped what he was doing, and in a moment of silence, he I recalled the cold northern city-the place where it always snowed, the winter cemetery, the calm streets, the little girl named Anne, and the old guard.
“…I quite like that place,” Duncan said slowly in his heart. “Doing ordinary things in a place I like is my hobby.”
Vanna was quiet for a while, and seemed to be touched. Lost in thought, a sound of brisk footsteps reached his ears not far away. Duncan raised his head and saw Alice walking happily from the other side of the deck – she was always so happy.
“Captain! Are we almost arriving at Qingfeng Port? I saw the ship starting to ‘float’…”
The puppet suddenly discovered the big box placed on the deck.
“What is this?” She came over in surprise, looked left and right next to the box, and noticed various objects in the box. “It’s for me to sleep on… I guess not? What are these?” “
This It’s a very important thing, the original construction files of the Homeless Ship,” Duncan explained casually, and reached out to pick up the piece of wood, “But the most important thing is this.” Alice came over curiously: “What is
this ?”
Duncan was silent for a long time, and then he spoke softly under Alice’s curious and confused gaze: “Maybe… it’s an ‘interface’.”
He raised his head and looked at the sea in the distance.
The chaotic darkness in the sky is gradually fading away, and the black “hair” in the sea is also dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye. The hazy and illusory shadows on the sea first turned into thin mist, and then continued to become stronger sunlight. The medium speed is quickly fading and melting, and the speed of the Lost Home is slowing down – with the control of the goat head, it is gradually rising from the spiritual world to reality.
“The Homeless Ship has arrived at Breezeport. What’s the situation in the city now?”
Morris’s voice immediately responded: “It’s still very chaotic, but some guards and sheriffs have successfully arrived in the neighborhood, and the control personnel are organizing the residents. Self-rescue, it seems that it will not get worse at the moment – but no one can guarantee what the situation will be tonight.”
Duncan said “hmm” softly, and then focused on the sea again.
The Lost Home has completed its refloating, and the bright sunshine from the real world is shining on the deck and mast. The sea outside the ship’s side is slowly rising and falling in the breeze, and the broken waves are shining with ripples.
There is nothing as far as the eye can see.
Duncan blinked, feeling something was wrong.
Alice blinked too, feeling that something was wrong even with this solid-headed doll.
A hazy shadow squirmed and stood up from the deck, looking into the distance for a long time. After a long time, Agatha finally broke the silence on the deck: “Where is Qingfeng Port?!” Where is Qingfeng Port
? ! What about the big Qingfeng Harbor? !
Duncan looked into the distance for a long time, then turned to look in other directions – he looked around on the sea, and then finally found something familiar.
A huge irregular luminous geometric body is floating quietly on the sea in the distance.
It was the “falling object” “anchored” near Qingfeng Port. However, except for the huge luminous geometry, nothing could be seen on the nearby sea.
Duncan immediately called in the mental connection: “First officer, confirm our position.”
Goat Head immediately responded: “Yes, Captain, I have noticed… There is no problem with the position of the Homeless Ship, the chart shows that we are Near Qingfeng Port, the ‘luminous geometry’ can be used as a location reference…but Qingfeng Port is missing.”
A gust of sea breeze blew across the deck, and the bright sunshine of the southern sea reflected on the sea, so bright that it was hard to open your eyes. .
The mark established by the spiritual fire shone in a distant and unobservable place, and Duncan heard Nina’s voice coming from the depths of his consciousness: “Uncle Duncan, have you arrived yet?” “I’m here,”
Duncan He took a gentle breath and thought about how to explain the current situation to the other party, “But Qingfeng Port is missing.”
Nina: “…Huh?”
After a while.
The Lost Home arrived at the sea area where the huge luminous geometric body was located, and finally found some “traces” within the coverage of this geometric body that could prove that Qingfeng Port once existed.
Duncan found the research station used to study the “stone ball” at the center of the geometry – it was still in the real world, but the station was empty.
Judging from the remaining traces of the research station, the scholars stationed here had disappeared at least before dawn – the stove for cooking breakfast showed no trace of being used, and the few blessing oil lamps that needed to be lit at night were always burning. The internal fuel was almost exhausted, which showed that no one tried to extinguish them after dawn.
After some investigation, the Lost Home left the “light body” range of the luminous geometry, returned to the sea area where Qingfeng Port was theoretically located, and slowly wandered in place.
“…The research facility near the stone ball is still there, perhaps because the ‘sunlight’ released by the luminous geometric object counteracted the power of the Nameless Man’s Dream, but the personnel on duty in the facility are gone… It seems that the ‘sunshine’ It has not been able to completely withstand the power of Sirantes.”
In the captain’s room of the Lost Home, Duncan is analyzing the current situation, and in the oval mirror not far away from him, Agatha is also showing a serious look on her face. appearance.
“This looks a lot like the phenomenon where the residents of Breeze Harbor disappeared when the Dream of the Nameless One broke out, but this time… the power of the dream has increased to an incredible level,” Agatha said while thinking, “Even one The entire city-state with physical entities has disappeared.”
Alice stood next to Duncan. This doll, who had always been very generous, finally showed a nervous and even a little scared look at this time. She subconsciously grabbed Duncan’s arm, He said hesitantly: “Then… everyone who stayed in the city…”
“They are fine now, I can still contact them,” Duncan comforted the doll, “According to what the nameless man’s dream has shown before. As a rule, as long as this dream dissipates, what once disappeared due to the dream will return to its original state.”
Listening to the captain’s words, Alice still felt a little bit relieved, although she still felt something was wrong.
But Duncan knew that he had not finished speaking –
the biggest question now is whether the dream of the Nameless One will dissipate this time as it did before, and whether this will be Silantis’s “last dream” “.
Ted Leal The news from the depths of the Nameless One’s Dream is dire.
Silantis has gone crazy – from an “ancient obsession” that was originally in a sleepy state, to a powerful existence with clear ability to act and out of control, and the goal of this powerful existence is very clear, that is Taking root and growing again in the real world – after waking up and being in a state of madness, will Selendis still unconsciously let the dream of the Nameless One end peacefully like he did several times before? Or… the “disappearance” of Qingfeng Port is her first step into the real world?
Time is running out.
Duncan thought quickly. He placed the “keel sample” found from the city-state of Pland on the navigation table in front of him. At the same time, he was thinking about how to use this “wood” to establish contact with Silantis. , how should we truly reach the deepest part of the nameless man’s dream, and understand what kind of truth is hidden in the core curtain of that dream.
The Sea Mist and the Brilliant Star have mutated due to the “curse”, the original keel of the Lost Home has disappeared into the subspace, and the remaining “branches” from that year have also been reduced to ashes in the shipyard fire. , this is probably the last piece of “Sylantis Wood” left in the world, and there may only be one chance.
Just when some ideas began to emerge in Duncan’s mind, Alice on the side suddenly exclaimed: “Threads!” Duncan turned back in surprise:
“Threads? Did you see threads here?”
“Threads…everywhere. They’re all lines!” Alice opened her eyes wide and answered quickly while raising her hands to gesture in the air, “It suddenly floated out, it was everywhere in the air…it floated up from below the deck!” “The deck
! Below?” Duncan was stunned for a moment, but he reacted instantly. He immediately grabbed Alice’s arm, dragged the doll and ran towards the captain’s room, “Follow me!” Alice didn’t react at all
. , while following the captain outside, he shouted: “Hey…hey? Captain, where are you taking me? Slow down, slow down, I’m holding my head…”
Alice’s exclamation came as she stepped out of the captain’s room door. Then it stopped abruptly.
She stood on the deck, staring out at the boundless sea.
The sun was gradually sinking, and in the brilliant glow that filled the air, she saw something she had never seen before, densely packed… lines floating and rising from the entire sea like hair.
Those lines didn’t float “below the decks” of the Lost Home – they floated up from the sea where Breeze Harbor once stood.
