Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 847

[Chapter 828 The Final and the First]

The Brilliant Star slowly adjusted an angle next to the coast, and the paddle wheel devices on both sides of the ship let out a low whimper. It began to accelerate gradually, and slowly drove into the boundless fog, faster and faster, Getting further and further away, and finally disappeared completely from Duncan’s gaze.

Duncan stood on the bow of the Lost Home for a long time, staring in the direction where the silhouette disappeared deep in the thick fog. Until he could no longer see it, he still looked in that direction for a long time, and then he looked back and saw that the silhouette was wearing A gothic doll wearing a gorgeous dark purple dress was standing next to her.

The puppet was also looking into the distance, and almost at the same time he withdrew his gaze from the distance.

The chubby white pigeon landed on Alice’s shoulder, tilting its head and looking steadily at its owner with a pair of green bean eyes.

The Lost Home is quiet now. There is no more fighting between Shirley and Nina. There is no more Moss who is always looking at the sea or bowing his head in thought. There is no more Vanna who is always sitting on the barrel carving talismans. , and the figure of Agatha who always appears in strange places –

on such a wide and empty deck, only the captain and the doll stood together.

And the abstract and greedy fat pigeon.

“They’re all gone,” Alice whispered after a long time.

Duncan couldn’t tell at the first moment whether this was an emotion expressed by Miss Doll or a statement of fact that he had just reacted to.

When everyone left, she was the only one who stayed without thinking about anything. With a natural and logical attitude, Duncan never asked her anything, and she didn’t ask anything. It was like She knew from the beginning that she had to stay, and even took “staying on the Lost Home” as

a matter of course – which made Duncan a little curious.

“When everyone else left, you didn’t ask me if you could stay.” He looked into Miss Doll’s eyes, “Have you never thought about this at all?”

Alice smiled, as if she had not experienced anything. Thinking for a fraction of a second: “Of course I want to stay!”

She replied so simply, and apart from this answer, there seemed to be no other reason in her mind – or in other words, she didn’t think this was necessary. What reason.

Duncan looked at her firmly and suddenly laughed. Then he shook his head and pointed around: “Look, it seems to be the same as it was at the beginning.”

Alice looked around curiously, and soon He reacted: “Yes, you and I are the only ones left on this ship again… ah, there are pigeons, and Mr. First Mate.”

Ai Yi, who was standing on the shoulders of the doll, tilted his head and suddenly exerted his strength. While flapping its wings, a noisy and sharp female voice came out: “Initializing settings, initializing settings!”

Duncan took a deep look at the dove that represented one of the fragments of his hometown, and whispered thoughtfully: “… Yes, the settings are being initialized. It’s time to perform the next step.”

As he spoke, he turned around and waved to Alice without looking back: “Let’s go, Alice, for execution with Gemona. It’s time to make an appointment.”

“Hey! Good captain!” “Aye, aye, captain!”

The fog is slowly floating around, like a thin but endless curtain, gradually closing on the scale of the whole world. The hazy shadow of the film went from clear to blurry, and finally gradually disappeared into the depths of the endless fog – the Dao Canxingchen was about to reach

the boundary From this position, it could no longer be seen at all.

The Lost Home was left next to the “Temple Island”.

Lucretia and others stood on the highest deck of the Brilliant Star. No one was willing to look away until no familiar outline could be seen in the fog.

“At first, I thought I would be “cursed” on that ship for the rest of my life,” Shirley muttered softly. “I still had to have it then.”

A clothesline was tied to a guardrail not far away. Between the guardrail and the flagpole, the wet little doll Neelu was hanging on the clothesline. The rope passed between her two sleeves, leaving her dangling on the rope. This mentality was not yet clear. The intact little one seemed to be able to feel

the change . She looked at the silent others uneasily, and then looked at her mistress with a hint of worry, and whispered: “The mistress… is not happy?

Lucretia looked back at the little puppet swinging on the rope, with a gentle smile on her face: “No, I’m just thinking.

“

“Think!” Nilu said immediately, but she didn’t know whether she was asking or habitually repeating the last two syllables of others’ words.

Lucretia didn’t care about this, and just said to herself: “Yes, think, think about what to do next, you will also think like this in the future, and your mind will also grow. Just like your sister – you all have my carefully crafted ‘heart’.”

Nilu was dazed on the rope and suddenly swayed happily: “Heart!”

At this moment, the sailor broke the silence. : “We are already close to the boundary of the physical sea area – Ms. Luccia. If we go any further, we will fall into the chaotic time flow. It’s time to enter the next section of the voyage.”

Luccia nodded slightly and looked aside. .

In the slowly flowing mist, a hazy female figure was standing there and nodded to Lucretia.

“Then it’s up to you and the sailors, Ms. Agatha.”

“You’re welcome, these are the captain’s orders.” Agatha’s slightly ethereal voice came from the air, and then her phantom gradually dissipated in the mist. middle.

Then, a strange and low roar suddenly sounded from the depths of the Brilliant Star, from under everyone’s feet – as if some huge beast was awakening deep in the bilge, rising from the sea, roaring and reporting. The movement gradually enveloped the entire ship, and the “

reflection also appeared in this physical dimension!

The huge phantom arrived. It reversed itself from the kingdom of shadows, quickly rose from the surrounding mirror-like calm sea, and quickly merged with the Brilliant Star with its unstoppable momentum.

Shirley opened her eyes wide and watched as the surrounding decks began to burn. The false green flames swallowed up all parts of the ship inch by inch. The tall chimneys turned into dark masts, and the steam and smoke floating in the air turned into As a sail for the spirit body, the wooden deck extended in her field of vision. At the end of the deck

stood the towering bridge and the dark steering wheel.

For a moment, she even felt like she was back on the Lost Home again.

But this illusion only lasted for a moment. A phantom was a phantom after all. At a very close distance, she quickly distinguished many details that should be on the Brilliant Star from the shadow.

But this level of “projection fusion” is enough for Anomaly 077 to perform his duties as the helmsman of the “Lost Home”.

The crotched mummy solemnly arranged the sailor’s uniform on his body, nodded to Luciencia, and then walked towards the towering stern bridge of the ship not far away in the phantom flames. He walked along the Walking up the projected steps to the high platform, holding the dark steering wheel – the hollow

whistling and echoing seemed to come from the depths of this phantom, eventually turning into cheers of return.

Return – sail! “The sailor turned the steering wheel in his hand hard and shouted in his iconic broken gong voice, “Let’s go home! “

There seemed to be a faint whistling sound coming from the edge of the distant sea. Duncan, who was walking among the ruins of the “Pilgrimage Road”, stopped and looked back at the direction where the hallucination came from.

Alice was walking next to him. He also stopped and cast a curious look: “What’s the matter? Duncan

turned back and whispered: “…They returned and everything went well.”

“Really? That’s great,” Alice laughed happily, “I don’t know what’s going on with Plande…”

“Plande… is fine now.”

Duncan said slowly, feeling the leap. A distant and vague “signal” that comes from time and space.

He could still sense the situation of Purender, the “incarnation” that stayed in the antique shop, and was still executing the instructions he had conveyed in the past, but he could already clearly feel that this connection was becoming stronger and stronger. Unstable.

This is not affected by the environment, nor does it have anything to do with the “distant distance” of the “end of the world”… This is due to the passage of time, as “Zhou Ming” continues to grow and awaken as part of the “reverse singularity” Changes are bound to happen.

The fragile shelter cannot bear the direct observation of the “inverse singularity”. A gaze beyond the boundless sea will annihilate the boundless sea in even just 0.002 seconds of gaze.

This is why he must let Nina, Moss and others return to the Infinite Sea to act as his “eyes” – because he himself will soon lose the ability to observe the Infinite Sea.

After a moment of perception, Duncan began to carefully control the connection between himself and those distant incarnations. He felt the degree of “awakening” in his own essence, once again weakening the activity of the incarnation – now, he had turned off the taste of the incarnation. , the sense of smell, shields

the perception , and shields all those fragile and complex “human” feelings.

These feelings were once very important to him. Those feelings of cold and warmth, sensitivity to pain, and precious sleepiness and sleep have long helped him maintain his cognitive baseline as a “human being.” But now, he has no choice but to Do not close them one by one to extend your

observation .

He wanted to hold on at least until Nina got home safely.

“Captain?”

A worried voice came from the side. Duncan turned his head and saw the puppet looking here worriedly, grabbing his sleeve and shaking it carefully.

“Are you okay?” Alice said worriedly, “Your face is not very good.

The expression on Duncan’s face slowly softened.

Even without relying on the “information” conveyed by those incarnations, he can maintain his human part.

” It doesn’t matter,” he whispered, “Let’s go, they have already set off, and we still have a long way to go.
