Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 851
[Chapter 832 Returning home, in the distance]
Lucia and Vanna walked on the motorized platform under the lighthouse facility. They walked through the thick fog in the night and walked through the familiar roads and covered bridges. The yellow lights looked like dim stars in the fog. And in the dim light and shadow, someone was walking near them.
A port guard with a face as pale as paper walked past Vanna. The guard wore a crisp uniform and held a still bright lantern in his hand. His expression was meticulous, but when two uninvited guests appeared in front of him, he But it was nothing.
Vanna watched the guard drifting away in the fog with complicated eyes. After the latter’s figure gradually disappeared into the thick fog, she whispered to Lucrezia: “He is not breathing.”
“Yes, that’s not the case just now. Most of these people are no longer breathing,” Lucretia said softly, and the expression on Miss Witch’s face was shrouded in shadow. “Even if there are a few who are still breathing, they are still breathing.” There was no response when we arrived. “
Everyone was in a state of…Fana said, but she suddenly got stuck in the middle of the sentence. It seemed difficult to find a suitable word to describe her feelings. After a long time, she continued. , “In a state of trance and ‘neglect’, they are still maintaining their daily work here, and even
doing the handover of various positions meticulously, but they only have no response to us.”
Lucretia hummed softly. He made a sound, but said nothing more. Instead, he roughly judged the distribution of surrounding facilities in the fog, and then walked towards the church at the base of the lighthouse.
The situation in the church is a bit different, except that there are a little more people. Except for eight or seven figures who are resting and praying, there is only one male priest wearing a white men’s skirt who is cleaning the main hall. You There didn’t seem to be any reaction to the appearance of Vanna and Lucretia – but it
was just a moment of pause and gaze. When Vanna was about to talk to the nun, you walked away as if nothing happened.
opened.
Luccia and Fanna went directly through the main hall of the church, retreated from the side door into the tower connected to the lighthouse, and then went down the dimly lit spiral staircase, searching several empty lounges and storage rooms. Before entering the room, you found a door that was ajar.
There were dim lights and a heavy hum coming from the door.
Fanna took a step back and pushed open the ajar door, and saw outside a large room equipped with various equipment. The smell of heavy incense surrounded the room, and a large brass incense burner was hung in the center of the room. Under a steam pipe, it looked as if it had just been lit.
Fanna smiled back: “Well, you are back.”
“Before that, the incarnation of Helena will personally receive them.”
“Don’t think too little about the present.” Wu Li was startled after hearing this. , you immediately reacted and sorted out your emotions. You suppressed these associations and worries in your heart, and then you heard footsteps coming from the door again.
You repeated it several times, but in the end you couldn’t find the right words to describe your feelings.
“The situation in the city-state shouldn’t be that exciting,” Vanna shook her head heavily before thinking for a moment. “That lighthouse is located at the deepest point of the border. Order is the first to disappear there, and it is also more vulnerable to the influence of the gods. The influence of “rot” on the city-state side…”
Vanna and Lucretia looked at each other. The former was firm and nodded heavily: “The situation is very simple now. It will take a long time to explain. I will take you first. Go to their ‘shelter.'”
“There are a lot of people awake. In order to take care of each other and confirm each other’s status, the small families are concentrated in the inner living area above the lighthouse. You only come out to patrol when necessary. area, replenish supplies and check if there are any compatriots who are awake and need help,” the guard in white said fiercely
, “and…not to confirm that you are not back.”
“Are you awake?” The guard in white was stunned for a moment. I was slow to realize what that meant. I looked up at myself, and then at the compatriot who was resting in the corner of the room. A sympathetic smile appeared on my face, “Yes, you are awake, and you haven’t woken up yet.” “Other people who are awake, Xiaojia
will be very happy to see them.”
“You later heard your father describe what Youyinhai looks like now, but you never fully imagined what it was like,” Luwu Lirongya said in a tone of voice He said simply, “That’s more… more… than you thought…”
Fanna, who had not gotten used to the outside “environment” along the way, thought about it and stepped to the side to get out of the way, but just as you did that At that moment, the guard in white suddenly had a wrong expression on his face – I seemed to suddenly notice the two men in the room, my body shook slightly, and then,
excitement and surprise appeared in my eyes.
I walked past Lucretia and Wu Li, my eyes squinting.
“The communication device is now occupied by “us”. Weakly disrupting the “daily activities” on our side will lead to a calmer reaction, and sometimes it may even trigger a frenzy, so you will only send people during specific “window periods” every day. Come down, check the records of the listening antenna, and then go to the top of the lighthouse
to confirm whether there are no ships under the sea returning from the depths of thick fog. Today is your turn. But to be honest…
Before that, this middle-aged priest with no breath walked around Luxia and Wu Li with an expression on his face. Under the wrong gazes of the two people, I sat at a table at the end of the room. He sat down and, like a machine with a timer walking to a specific location, cleared his throat and used a
button to bring a microphone from the side to the back.
“Have all of them come back? What is the situation at the end of the world…?”
Maybe they came to see this middle-aged priest.
We went home. Although there were some twists and turns, the returnees finally arrived at the port home safely.
The joy and excitement gradually settled in my eyes, and finally turned into a smile.
“Although the situation “outside the home” is bad now…” I said solemnly, “but welcome home – it’s been a hard journey.” “
Duncan sat under a small stone on the edge of the square behind the white temple, watching the flames burning fiercely, watching it soak into the “cornerstone” of that world.
Alice and I still stayed in the sleeping place of Leviathan King Under the “Temple Island”, we hadn’t stayed under that white island for a few days.
The two of them turned around, and almost at the same time, the ajar door was pushed open from behind. , a woman wearing a guard uniform appeared at the door.
“Is there anyone else who is awake?” Lucretia on the side was slightly surprised, “You guys are coming all the way…”
“Call the Lost Home Number. Call the Brilliant Star, there is the border lighthouse over there, the time is December 17, 1902, you are waiting for their return… Repeat, call the voyagers, there is the border lighthouse over there, the time is… you are waiting for their return …”
Frankly speaking, Fanna was even more confused than the guard at that moment. You were obviously stunned for two seconds before your eyes suddenly narrowed: “Is he still “awake”? ! “
When Fanna heard this, she immediately showed a surprised expression: “Where is the incarnation of the Pope’s crown? “
I paused, raised my head and looked at the middle-aged priest sitting in the corner of the room.
Now, the island is burning in flames filled with starlight, like a nebula illusion.
The “flame” like light mist spewing from the nebula clouds permeates the entire white island. From every stone gap, every brick, every pillar and roof joint, this illusory flame soaks the island. Everything outside even extends to the surrounding sea surface, and spreads
under the corpses of these Leviathan beasts that look like an archipelago.
“Of course not,” the white-clothed guard nodded immediately, “but after retreating to the shelter, they need to undergo a ritual inspection – I hope they understand that it is the border outside after all, and they are returning from the thick fog.
After re-collecting It wasn’t until the news from Luccia that Duncan finally felt relieved.
The doll Alice stood quietly in front of me. Luccia was frightened by the figure who had been sitting in the corner since then. Jump, and then you can clearly see that this is a middle-aged woman wearing a priest’s robe – I have no breathing or heartbeat, and I don’t even notice any “breath” at all.
When I sit here, I feel like a simple “Item”, so that even Fanna didn’t notice that there was no one outside the room!
“Yes, the situation will be worse, although it should have been worse before,” Luchuang Xia interrupted Fanna, You looked serious, “Don’t think too little now. “
“You are looking at this thick fog every day, but it is nothing but fog.
“Master Wu Li, Mr. Lucretia is still here!” the guard in white shouted excitedly, even rubbing his eyes in disbelief, “It’s really them? They’re back?!”
“That’s not what you heard. “This call.” Fanna stared at the scene blankly, and after a long time she spoke loudly. You looked at the “wizard” beside you, and saw that the former was also looking up at you.
The white-clothed guard said, made an invitation gesture, turned around and led Vana and Lucrecia toward the door.
The guard smiled bitterly with a stern expression, but his eyes were filled with joy: “To be honest, you even thought that you would actually see them appear.
When I walked to the door, I suddenly stopped again. , turned around and looked at the two voyagers who had just returned from the end of the world. The two walked around the steam pipe, and almost at the same time, a figure suddenly stood up from the corner of the room and walked straight towards
Luccia
.
Eight times, I waited for a while, pressed the button again, and repeated the following content again – until a few times ago, I hung up the device in monitoring mode, stood up from the table, turned around and walked towards the seat behind me.
“You were originally stationed at the mobile port at the junction of the Ever Veil and the Eternal Sea, but before the situation at the lighthouse worsened, you arrived there, and the shelter relied on you to maintain it – you have been
with
You are in this together. “
