Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 836

[Chapter 817 The journey is coming to an end]

Homeless and Shining Star sail against a uniform gray and white background.

This long journey to the end of the world seemed to be coming to an end – even if Duncan didn’t mention it, everyone on the ship was vaguely aware that the end was approaching.

Now, everyone gathered around the long table in the cabin of the Lost Home. Even Lucretia temporarily handed over her ship to the control of the puppet Luni and Rabbit.

The “Sea Witch” sat on Duncan’s side, while the little doll Neelu, who had just become the official crew member of the Brilliant Star not long ago, sat obediently on the hostess’s shoulder. The latter appeared here for the first time and was cautiously sitting on her side at the moment. He grabbed Lucretia’s hair and looked around curiously.

Shirley looked at the gorgeous three-pointed doll wearing an exquisite dress with great interest. When the latter turned around to look over, she suddenly raised her hand and made a bluffing sound: “Hey ha–“

Ni suddenly exclaimed in a low voice .

He stood up and grabbed a handful of Cressia’s hair.

The witch girl was startled and raised her hand to pat the little doll’s arm. Nelu then lowered her head in humiliation and muttered in a low voice: “Mistress, she is scaring me.”

Shirley immediately shrugged and twisted. Turn your head and pretend that you are listening carefully to the captain.

Duncan Wells didn’t pay attention to the movement coming from the long table. He just glanced at Shirley casually and continued to talk about the current situation within the boundless sea:

“…the undead are active together with the living in the city. , no one anymore remembers the original function of the base garden and the crematorium. The dead are in a daze, and more and more living people are falling into a trance. No one dies anymore, and at the same time, no more newborns are born… .In the eyes of onlookers, the distortion of the world has become unimaginable. However, no one is aware of these anomalies. All violations are subconsciously ‘explained’ or ‘ignored, and this is the current ‘status quo’ of the entire world.

” The situation on the Deep Sea Church…is similar to that of the Death Church today. The core parts of their respective doctrines have now become unknowable prototypes, although people are still maintaining their daily lives in ignorance. But this kind of ‘world correction’ may not last long. “

Everyone on both sides of the long table said nothing. Even Shirley, who was secretly playing with the little doll just now, now imagined the weirdness in the city-state. The horrific scene also quieted down.

Duncan’s eyes fell on Vanna not far away.

“Are you okay?” he asked softly.

“Cognitive reconstruction… is not that simple.” Fanna’s face was not very good. She frowned slightly. After hearing the captain’s words, she smiled bitterly and shook her head, “I almost forgot about it.” You suddenly summoned us just now about the ‘wave’ thing, which made me think of all this again. It made me feel…as if the whole world had been torn apart.”

Miss Inquisitor took a deep breath. He breathed out slowly, seeming to be still adjusting his state with difficulty, and at the same time continued with a complex expression: “Now two completely different “cognitive systems” are still fighting fiercely in my mind. I clearly understand I know that a certain ‘thing’ actually exists, but another cognition tells me that it is an incomprehensible thing that has never existed. I know that the first cognition is correct, but I cannot deny the second one. I know… They all took root in my heart, just like…

She pursed her lips, but in the end she seemed not to find a suitable way to describe them.

“It’s like ‘hydrophobia, right?'” Duncan asked calmly.

“Is the water poisonous?” Fanna thought for a moment, nodded with a wry smile, “Probably.” Compared with various physical objects, problems based on cognitive level are always difficult to deal with. “

…I have also hesitated whether it is necessary to re-strengthen and stabilize your cognition,” Duncan said slowly, his eyes swept around, and wherever he looked, The green flames are burning quietly throughout the cabin, and the firelight shines on everyone, and even seems to be soaking into their souls, soaking into their minds, and stabilizing their “cognition” in the name of “Captain” Side, “But considering the future plan, I must use flames to ‘strengthen’ you, because only in this way can you become my strongest “anchor.”

After hearing Duncan’s words, the expression on Lucretia’s face was obviously slightly slightly After a change, she seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn’t speak, and just stared at her father steadily.

“…Next, we will arrive at Bartok’s node,” Duncan continued to say calmly, seemingly ignoring the eyes that fell on him that contained various emotions, “This will be led by The last node on the ‘outer barrier’ formed by the four gods, after completing the final mark, the Lost Home will return to the starting point of this ‘cruise’…the Leviathan Islands.

“To there, your border .”

The journey is over. “

Duncan spread his hands and said in a low voice. His eyes looked around both sides of the long table, moving between the familiar faces. Finally, his eyes fell on Nina. The person

he knew in this world The first “human”, his first official “contact” with this civilization trapped in the asylum, his… “anchor of humanity”

Nina sat beside him, This girl who has always been very sensible seems to always be able to detect “Uncle Duncan’s” thoughts one step ahead. Even at this moment, she did not show too much surprise. She just raised her head after a moment of silence: “What happens next? Do you want to do it alone?”

Duncan met the girl’s gaze: “…Yes. “

Is it dangerous? Is it very far?” Nina asked again.

“It’s hard to describe it as ‘dangerous’ or not. It’s something… only I can complete, but you can’t understand the process.” “Things,” Duncan thought for a while and explained seriously, “I will go to a farther place – further than the end of the world, so far that even the gods cannot reach it, and all the scales in the world cannot be measured… .Yes, very far, very far. “

“Are you still going home?” Nina still looked at her uncle Duncan steadily – she asked a question she had asked before.

This time, Duncans did not forget to hesitate: “Yes, come back. Home. “

His response was so sure and quick that even Nina Du seemed a little surprised.

“You’re not lying?” she frowned and asked with some confusion, as if she didn’t expect to get such a positive answer.

” Yes, I’m sure – but if you had asked me earlier, maybe I would have hesitated,” Duncan said seriously, “And now, I can be sure that if one day in the future, If you are really waiting for me to come home, then I will definitely come home. “

Nina frowned, and just as she was deep in thought, Moss’s voice came from the side again: “What do you need us to do?”

“After the Homeless Ship leaves, you must follow the Brilliant Star. Returning,” Duncan looked at the old gentleman across the table and nodded slightly, “Agatha will take the reflection of the Lost Home and connect it with the Brilliant Star, and the sailors will go to the helm – Pass In this way, you will be able to activate the route left by the Sea Song and return to Wuhai from the Storm Goddess’s node.

“After returning to the Boundless Sea, you will go to Frost, Purland and Breeze Port respectively. Several city-states, plus Lawrence who is currently staying in Phaelon on the western border, I am equivalent to having ‘eyes’ that can look at the entire world – you have to wait, wait for my order, when I complete my journey in the world External preparation, something big is going to happen. “

“A big thing?” Vanna frowned subconsciously.

“…the end of the world,” Duncan said calmly, “I will end the world in an orderly manner, after this mathematical machine completely Before it collapses, recover all its data. “

He knew that no one at the scene could understand what he was talking about. Even Moss would not understand what “information of all things” and “mathematical machines” were, but he still said these words straightforwardly.

The people present may not know what a mathematical machine is, but they at least understand what “the end of the world” means.

After a moment of silence, Shirley was finally the first to break the silence: “…Mom…:

But except for her, everyone else’s reaction was unexpectedly calm.

“Look. It seems like you all trust me. “Duncan looked around, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

“After experiencing the events of Pland, Frost and Breeze Port together, why do we still distrust you?” Vanna suddenly said He laughed and said, “You have countless ways to easily remove the destruction, but in the end you choose to save everything you can – until now, even if you say you want to kill me, I’m afraid I will think it’s me for the first time This is not the right way to live…

“Gemona will be sad if she hears what you said,” Duncan laughed helplessly, “The first time we met, you came over in one jump.”

Vanna : “…You said you wouldn’t mention this.”

Duncan smiled, shook his head, waved his hands, and looked at the others.

“The end of the world is a necessary step to ensure that the new world can be born, and to ensure long-term peace after the birth of the new world. I have found a way to preserve the existence of this world while ending the old world. Everything, you can really rest assured about this.”

“Then…what happens after this?” Shirley finally couldn’t help but speak, even though she couldn’t understand most of the topic. She was still keenly aware that the captain had not finished what he said, “After the world ends…where are we? Where are you? That ‘new world’ you mentioned…when will it come?” “

Duncan smiled and looked into Shirley’s curious eyes.

“Blink your eyes.”

Shirley blinked curiously.

“For you, the new world will come after that.”

Duncan said softly.
