Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 661
[Chapter 654 “Remaining Issues”]
The order of Light Breeze Port is being restored quickly – although the scope of the influence of the Nameless Man’s Dream this time far exceeds the previous two crises of Purander and Frost, it is also because of the nameless man’s dream. Particularity, after the “dream” subsides, its impact on the real world is minimal.
The city that was once swallowed has returned to the real world, and the neighborhoods that were once covered and replaced by nightmares have also returned to their original state. The fire that filled the sky in the ancient god’s nightmare did not spread to anyone’s head – when a new day comes, this city Border cities have returned to their former glory.
Of course, it cannot be said that this incident has no impact on Qingfeng Port.
People still remember the scene when the nightmare struck. A large number of citizens need to be comforted, and the whole incident also needs a proper ending and interpretation; a large number of people have short-term memory impairment and visual hallucinations after “waking up”. Although auditory hallucinations do not reach the level of causing extraordinary pollution, they still require the intervention of psychiatrists; more ordinary people are affected by fatigue, drowsiness and inexplicable heart palpitations. This is after the spirit is extracted and consumed by the nightmare of the ancient god. It is not known how long it will take to recover from the sequelae.
In the witch’s mansion at No. 99 Crown Street, Qingfeng Port, Duncan was sitting by the large floor-to-ceiling window in the lobby on the first floor, looking through the window at the street opposite.
The steam walker belonging to the college is patrolling the streets, uniformed knowledge guards and peace officers are checking whether there are any “dream residues” that have been missed in the city, and staff sent by the Government Affairs Department are knocking on doors door to door to confirm status of the residents, registering “mentally impaired persons” in need of help, or taking those in serious condition to a nearby psychological assistance room for treatment.
“…I just went to see Sarah Mel. The situation in the city is better than expected. There should be nothing to worry about – my brother will definitely envy the situation of Qingfeng Port after the incident. Hanshuang was… Make him miserable.”
Lucretia stood beside Duncan and talked about the situation she had just confirmed outside.
“I also saw Master Taran El and the Keeper of the Truth who returned to the real world. The former is in pretty good condition, but he is a bit mentally weak and neurasthenic, but anyway, his condition is usually like that, and his vital signs remain stable. Even if he succeeds…
“The latter was sent to the hospital – it’s actually nothing serious, just gastrointestinal discomfort. The burden on his digestive system caused by drinking a large bottle of Blood Crow Mixture far outweighed the mental damage…” Did Duncan have any idea
? Listening to Lucy’s report, he said casually: “If you have time, you can go and see the ‘Keeper of the Truth’. He knows about the activities of the Lost Home at the border a hundred years ago. I think Talk to him about this. “
Lucrecia nodded, and at this moment, a knock on the door suddenly came from the direction of the entrance, interrupting Duncan’s communication with her. Morris, who was
reading near the door, got up and went to open the door. He and the door The visitors chatted for a few words, and then there was the sound of the door closing.
“It’s the staff sent from the Government Affairs Department,” Morris came over and said to Duncan and Lucretia, “They are counting the spirits of the residents of each household. situation and ask if anyone in the house needs psychological assistance. “
Duncan looked up at Lucretia with a strange expression, and the latter spread her hands: “Not everyone knows the situation of the ‘Witch Mansion’, especially those who were urgently transferred from other districts during special periods. Civil servants at the grassroots level – they are already overwhelmed by their daily work, and they have no time to understand a house full of strange stories.
Duncan shrugged and turned to look at Morris: “How did you answer? ” “
I told him that the people in this house are in good spirits, and I am particularly healthy,” Morris said casually, “but the Lachem emblem in his hand, which was used to detect mental pollution, suddenly burned – I I thought that no one would disturb the house in the future. “
“A new strange story has been added. “Duncan turned his head and said to Lucretia.
“Avoiding some unnecessary social interactions again,” Lucretia looked in a good mood, “It’s a good thing. “
Duncan smiled and looked out the window again. After quietly admiring the street scene that was gradually returning to daily routine and vitality for a while, he finally broke the silence thoughtfully: “The incident in Qingfeng Port is over… It’s also time to deal with some ‘legacy issues’.
Lucretia blinked: “You mean…” “
Is Rabbi still on that ship?” “
…I understand. Let me confirm the situation of the ‘nest’ first.” “
…
Richard felt a little cold.
Ever since he evacuated from the “Dream of the Nameless Man” for the last time, he had always felt a little cold in his body from time to time, as if the blood in his blood vessels was reducing and stopping flowing. It seemed that the body could no longer produce enough heat – even wearing an extra layer of clothes or even wrapping a quilt in the room would not help.
He didn’t understand what was going on. He obviously had a lot of warm cotton, but he couldn’t. He couldn’t help but lose heat from his body – this “abnormality” made him a little upset.
He asked the rabbi, and the rabbi didn’t give him an answer. He just asked him to wait patiently.
But fortunately, there are still There was much to do, and Richard could turn his attention elsewhere for the time being.
The ship is sailing towards the vast sea, sailing on a “secret route” away from all major waterways. Under the orders of the saints, they are now far away from the so-called “civilized world” and will arrive near the border in a few days with supplies. port.
The believers on the ship took the time to clean up the various “arrangements” left by the previous operations, including resetting the runes in the assembly hall, resealing the “Dream Skull”, and readjusting the ship. In order to further hide its “breath”.
Richard, together with several compatriots, inspected the runes and “sacred objects” on the lower deck.
“The Saint said these symbols can block the followers of the sun from sensing the ship,” Dumont muttered beside him, “… I hope these things really work that well.” “After all,
we quit at the critical moment Action – to those ‘allies’, this should be considered a betrayal,” Richard said casually, and then he was a little confused, “But then again…what happened to make the saints make such a hasty decision? Terminate the operation? Are the words of those final missionaries that effective?” “
I don’t know,” Du Meng shook his head, “But the saint must have his own considerations. He can see the shadow of fate, and must be aware of it. The huge danger in the dream of the unknown…”
At this point, Du Meng suddenly stopped, and then quickly looked around, then lowered his voice and leaned close to Richard’s ear: “Actually, I suddenly felt …This matter may have been a trap from the beginning. There are unimaginable dangers hidden in the so-called ‘Dream of the Nameless One’. It was right for us to withdraw in time. Those followers of the sun may be in bad shape now. Now.”
Noticing Du Meng’s seriousness, Richard looked around subconsciously and whispered, “Why do you say that?”
“We have been ‘evacuating’ in advance for some time,” Du Meng raised his head and looked Looking at the runes between the roof and the wall that were faintly emitting an ominous light in the darkness, “The ‘son of the sun’ has not yet chased the ship to question the crime – frankly speaking, I don’t think these are used to block the extraordinary. The existing runes can block an ancient god derivative.”
Richard was stunned for a moment, and finally came to his senses.
He shouldn’t react so slowly. Most of the time, he is sharper than Du Meng – but I don’t know when his thinking and reaction started to be much slower than before.
It was as if it was only now that he realized, under Du Meng’s reminder, that something big might have happened to the “son of the sun”.
“…You mean that the Sun’s heir is dead? Killed by the Dream of the Nameless One?” Richard’s tone was filled with a hint of nervousness, and he whispered uneasily, “There should be no power in the world that can kill him. A ‘heir’ died, could it be that dream…”
“It could also be ‘his’ followers, or even ‘him’ himself,” Du Meng muttered, “You know who it is.” Richard
immediately He closed his mouth and did not continue on this topic.
Don’t continue talking about this matter, otherwise the ghost captain will cast his eyes here in reckless words, and the shadow of the Lost Home will rise from the night and take everyone away with the thick fog.
Everyone who sails on the boundless sea has grown up listening to such stories.
But Richard was a little curious –
he knew the power of the children of the sun. Even among all the “children” types, they were the most powerful. They were born directly from the sea of fire of the black sun. They were ancient The essence of God is derived. If the real dimension is not blocked and protected by the four gods, the children of the sun can only appear in the real world in the form of projections at most. The complete power of their bodies is even enough to destroy a city-state in a short time – that kind of power , even the powerful saints are difficult to contend with.
Is that “Ghost Captain” really that strong?
The coldness rose from the bottom of his heart again, and Richard suddenly became excited and quickly controlled his random thoughts to prevent his “thinking” from attracting a dangerous gaze coming from the darkness.
At the same time, he heard Du Meng’s voice coming into his ears –
“Anyway, we left this whirlpool. Although many people expressed confusion about this, we are safe.”
Richard was silent. seconds.
An icy chill filled the bottom of his heart, and the blood in his veins seemed to have completely stopped flowing. He felt very cold, getting colder and colder.
He felt like his body was almost no longer producing heat.
But he nodded slowly.
“Yes, no matter what, we are safe now.”
