Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 754

[Chapter 736 Quiet changes]

The empty, cold, stagnant projections of the stars quickly passed by the edge of the field of vision. The navigation host Alice was calculating the return route, while Shirley and Agou, who had returned to human form, watched in trance together. The floating lights and shadows outside the flames remained silent for a long time.

After a long time, Duncan’s voice suddenly reached her ears: “What are you thinking about?”

Shirley was startled, and then she blinked her pair of blood-red shimmering glasses that represented the deep devil. With his eyes open, he murmured in a low voice: “I just suddenly remembered… I always thought that the Holy Lord Yousu was a terrible evil god… out of control, crazy, very bad, very bad…”

Duncan looked at Shirley for a few seconds, and then looked away: “If you face him alone today, the situation will be as you said. Your mind cannot understand and process his voice, and you will see his out-of-control and crazy side – the same is true for other ‘gods’.” said After all, the Holy Lord you ‘observed’ today was actually from my perspective.”

“Well, I know – Agou has explained this to me before. I explained it after the first meeting, cognitive shift… right.”

Duncan nodded and didn’t speak for a while. It wasn’t until more than ten seconds later that he suddenly spoke: “Do you think I should accept the ‘Netherworld Saint’? This invitation from the Lord?”

Shirley was stunned for a moment, as if she didn’t react: “…Huh?”

Duncan just looked at her gently: “If I accept, then the things you expect will happen almost immediately. It can be realized – no more demons will come out to hurt people, no more people will disappear in corners, the sun will rise and fall every day, and thick fog will not eat people. What you expect can make more people more stable. The living world, as long as I take over the shelter.

“Maybe it will be a thousand years, maybe ten thousand years, or it may last a little longer. After I take over this world, every city-state will be the same as today’s Pulan.” Germany is as safe as frost, and it will calm down even at night. As long as my flame is still burning, this boundless sea can maintain this peaceful appearance until all resources are exhausted and the shelter reaches the limit of its originally designed lifespan… …That is the true lifespan limit that Holy Lord Netherworld once planned but failed to realize. Shirley

was silent for a moment and whispered: “Then… everyone will still die, right?” Duncan

looked at her calmly: “But that will be after a long time. Even if you can live forever like an ordinary deep demon, you should have no regrets by then.” “

Shirley was quiet for a longer time this time, seeming to be thinking hard and seriously, while Agou stayed quietly beside her, unable to tell what she was thinking.

“Actually…” After a long time, Shirley finally broke Silent, “Actually, I do not understand. I think the plan of Holy Lord Yousu is already very good. A safe shelter, even if it is not eternal, is at least safe. I… don’t have such high pursuits, but can Isn’t it enough to live out the last days of your life safely like this? After all… there was nowhere else to go. “

Yes, there is no other place to go,” Duncan said softly, “because there will always be only this boundless sea in this world, there will always be only these city-states floating on the sea, and there will always be only such a small piece in the mist.” Living place… But Shirley, the real ‘world’ shouldn’t be like this, it’s just a… narrow cardboard box. “

Shirley listened beside her with a vague understanding, and with the slight shaking of the chain, Agou suddenly broke the silence: “As you said, this small box is not enough to carry more ‘possibilities’. ? “

It’s too narrow. The boundless sea sealed by the fog is very narrow, and the ‘service life’ of tens of millions of years is also very narrow. For countless civilizations that were destroyed in the Great Annihilation, this small box is only enough to hold a A small number of their replicas are stuffed inside, and the limited lifespan of the shelter is not even enough for them to repair the lost history…

“This is not a ‘new home’, do you understand? If it is said that it was before the Great Annihilation The ‘world’ is countless lush forests, so today’s boundless sea is just a small potted plant. The result of the first three long nights was just to plant a few surviving flowers and plants in the forest, and then pretend that the forest still exists – —But the fact is that no matter how much you water and fertilize it, it will not turn into a forest, never. All it takes is one small mistake, and even this flowerpot will cease to exist.” “

So, you rejected Him . plan, because you have seen that this plan has no future,” Agou said slowly, “You actually already know other solutions, right?”

Duncan did not speak, just lowered his head and looked at himself quietly hands.

He blinked his eyes. The moment his eyelids closed, in the first 0.002 seconds of darkness, he saw stars twinkling, magnificent galaxies shining in the deep sky, and huge star-making clouds like a gorgeous curtain. Across the stars.

Even if he has left the cave, he can still see those “different scenery” in the first 0.002 seconds of each blink.

Duncan knew that he was undergoing some kind of change, and the appearance of things that were originally hidden in his vision was only part of this change. As for when this change started specifically… he didn’t know.

But he knows that as long as he continues to seek the truth and try to uncover the secrets about himself, this change will continue to appear, continue to develop, and continue to accelerate…

He doesn’t know if he is ready, but he knows that there is no time. Prepare yourself, just like Pilot One said, neither he nor the world has time.

The phantom of distant starlight reaches its end…

A field of blooming flowers bloomed violently in the illusion. The short baton in Lucretia’s hand fell gently, and a few crisp notes burst out from the flowers. Several fear demons covered by the sea of flowers disappeared silently. Made into scattered ashes.

There was the hiss of supercharged pipes and a loud sound of metal collision. Morris punched away the mysterious hound that rushed towards him. He shook his head helplessly: “These people have no respect for knowledge and wisdom.” Demons… Fortunately, I still know some fists and kicks.”

“The number of demons is getting more and more,” Lucretia looked solemnly, looking at the black door that was still expanding, shrinking, and squirming, with a rare trace of emotion on her face. Tired, “This rift is expanding. More and more demons are paying attention to this place. The whole island is sinking into the deep sea.” “It’s time for

the captain to come back,” Morris muttered, and there was a spring in his throat. The unique metal resonance when the film vibrated, “Listen to the noise above, if the captain doesn’t come back, Vanna will probably smash through the entire valley.” Lucretia

frowned and listened to the continuous transmission from the cave dome. There was a low and muffled sound, and he shook his head slightly: “This is unlikely to be the movement caused by Miss Vanna. It is more like the sound made by the Holy Land Island itself… It is about to be ‘awakened’ again.”

Morris heard this Yan opened his mouth, but before he could speak, a dazzling green flame suddenly rose from the squirming black door!

In the blink of an eye, flames spurted out from the door and formed a rotating flame door in the open space of the cave. Then several figures stepped out of the door, accompanied by the captain’s familiar and majestic voice: “That’s right. , this place is about to ‘wake up’ again – inform everyone to evacuate Holy Land Island, our work is done.”

Lucretia was surprised at first, but then she realized what she was doing and didn’t bother to say hello. , and immediately nodded: “Okay daddy!”

Before she finished speaking, she had already begun to gather her toy soldier troops quickly. After Morris greeted the captain, he immediately saw Xue standing next to the captain. Li and Agou, he saw Shirley’s blood-colored eyes like those of a deep demon, and immediately opened his eyes slightly: “Shirley, this is…”

Shirley’s eyes were even wider than Morris’s, and she stared blankly. Looking at the university scholar who was in the state of “casting” in front of him, he held back a sentence for a while: “Old man, why did you become copper?”

Duncan also glanced at Morris with some surprise, and nodded with a subtle expression: “…a very unique form. .”

Only then did Morris realize that he was still in the casting form, and he quickly concentrated, silently recited Lachem’s prayer, and used magic to reverse his state – the texture of the copper shell quickly faded from his body, and his flesh and blood body In an incredible way, those gears, bearings, pumps and copper tubes were replaced. A pair of ruby focusers faded from the eye sockets. Human eyeballs grew from the eye sockets. He blinked and took out the delicate The complex brass mechanism then smiled and nodded: “…the power of knowledge.”

Shirley looked confused: “…you and the captain never said this when you taught me the lesson. Huh?”

In such a short period of time, this girl finally completely re-understood the two concepts of “knowledge changes destiny” and “the power of knowledge” – I am afraid she will never forget it in this life.

At this moment, another strange whistling and murmuring sound suddenly appeared in the cave.

The black door that was constantly undulating and crawling became restless again, and new demons began to enter the real world through this crack. The rugged skeletons and countless hands, feet, and tentacles squeezed out from the crawling surface, crawling and crawling toward the cave. !

Lucretia subconsciously raised the short baton in her hand, but before she could do it, Duncan waved his hand towards the door: “Go back.” The

ferocious bones and countless limbs and tentacles began to move hurriedly and chaotically. Climb back into the door.

“Close the door by the way.” Duncan added next to him.

The squirming “black door” began to gradually calm down.

Lucretia: “…”

Duncan turned his head and waved to the “Sea Witch” to bring her back to her senses: “Let’s go, we still have a lot to do.”
