Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 112

The bus is overcrowded during the rush hour, and even the rear of the car can hardly find much space. The short Shirley is squeezed in the middle of the crowd, shrinking her neck and not daring to move. She looks like A poor little animal.

If Duncan hadn’t seen with his own eyes how she knocked over a room of cultists with a dog, he would really believe that this girl is “harmless to humans and animals”.

He slowly squeezed to Shirley’s side. The tall adult figure helped the girl get a loose corner, and also left a gap for the two to talk. Duncan keenly noticed that Shirley’s body was trembling—— She was nervous, even nervous to the point of fear.

“What are you afraid of?” He glanced at Shirley, “I won’t swallow you alive.”

Shirley said with a sad face, “You…do you still want cooked food?”

Duncan: “…”

He can probably guess Why is this girl so afraid? After all, that “dog” had seen through some of the “real conditions” under his human body before, and the other party must have described himself to his mistress with embellishments after he fled. This must have left a deep impression on the latter.

He doesn’t know what image he is in Shirley’s mind now, but he thinks it’s similar to how the captains of the Boundless Sea view the Lost Homeland. They belong to the level where it’s best to start writing the will immediately after meeting, and you have to write it as quickly as possible. Because usually people will die sooner than making a will…

Duncan is also very helpless about this situation. He wants to be as friendly as possible, but he can’t stop a demon from the deep sea who has a different “vision” from humans. That “black sun” was still asking him for help in the illusion, and his attitude was quite sincere, but when he thought of the face of the other party under the corona shell, he still felt vigilant?

He only hoped that his image in the eyes of that deep hound could be better than the weird evil god he saw inside the sun, at least he must have five senses… Thinking of

that deep hound, Duncan frowned slightly, looking at the ghost in front of him. Girl: “Is Agou with you now?”

“Ah… Ah Gou usually hides where others can’t see…” Shirley swallowed, not daring to answer uncooperatively, and then lowered her voice, “But it can ‘know’ where I am. The situation…”

“Oh, let me say hello to it then,” Duncan nodded, “I left in a hurry last time, and I didn’t have time to ask a lot of questions.” As soon as he said

this, he felt that Shirley was in a hurry again. He shivered for a

while… “Relax,” Duncan sighed helplessly, he seemed to have vaguely sensed a strange gaze from nearby, “Why are you nervous talking to me, I have no ill intentions towards you or Agou “

That…that’s great…” Shirley nodded her head stiffly, and then, as if trying to relax on purpose, she tried to find a topic for a long time before her eyes fell on Duncan’s shoulder, “You…you Didn’t you take your pigeons with you this time?”

“Pets are not allowed in the car,” Duncan said casually, “I let it go hunting.”

“Let the pigeons go…hunting?” Shirley stared at Duncan dumbfounded, feeling Her vocabulary was broken, but then she nodded quickly, “Oh yes, you are right, pigeons are very suitable for hunting, and their eyes fly fast…” Her thoughts were a little confused, and she almost didn’t

know She was talking about something, but then the bus suddenly shook, and the voice of the conductor came from the middle of the carriage, interrupting her fragmented thoughts: “Sixth Street! Has anyone got off the bus?

” Come on, Shirley was obviously relieved, she jumped up and shouted to get off the car as if she was rescued, and then said goodbye to Duncan very fluently while pushing forward: “I’m going to get out of the car today I am very happy to see you Next time…”

Then before she finished speaking, she saw Duncan squeezed in, and the expression on his face changed from bright to gray in the blink of an eye.

“I’ll stop here too.” Duncan said blankly.

Shirley’s expression was stiff, and she knew that it would be inappropriate to say that she didn’t get out of the car at this time—and the big guy in front of her might be deliberately following her, and if she continued to play tricks at this moment, she might offend the other party, and it would really be punished. The boss cooked it and ate it…

The girl made up her mind so much, and then she was completely frightened. At this time, she heard the conductor urging her, so she shrank her neck and started to walk stiffly. Step out.

As a result, as soon as she reached the door, she heard the conductor’s voice suddenly: “Wait a minute, kid, did you not buy a ticket?”

Shirley froze for a moment, looking at the conductor in dark blue uniform with some astonishment , as if he never expected that he would be stopped by someone, and that his fare evasion behavior would be discovered, but just in such a dazed effort, the conductor had already confirmed the situation: “You didn’t buy a ticket, I remembered, first… …”

“I know this child, she may just have lost the ticket,” Duncan’s voice suddenly came from the side, “I’ll make it up for her.” The

conductor turned his head to look at Duncan suspiciously, then looked at his face Shirley, who was nervous, thought about it and didn’t say anything, just nodded: “Okay then.”

Duncan took out a few coins to make up for Shirley’s fare, and then followed him out of the carriage. Get off at the platform.

The whole bus was packed with passengers, but they were the only ones who got off at the sixth block.

Duncan first looked around, but what he saw was just the most common street scene in the downtown area. Although the surrounding buildings were relatively old and there were not many pedestrians walking on the road near the station, it was not as he imagined. Such a completely dilapidated level – the old shops facing the street are also open for business normally, although the sparse pedestrians are not as good as other lively neighborhoods, there are always people walking on the street, and there are factory chimneys emitting smoke in the distance , and a newspaper deliveryman on a bicycle can also be seen passing through the intersection at the end of the street.

Generally speaking, this is just a relatively secluded and underdeveloped block, but it seems that the residents are living normally.

The factory leakage accident that happened here eleven years ago seemed to have left some impact, but the extent of the impact was not as serious as he imagined… After taking a rough look around the

surrounding situation, Duncan withdrew his gaze, and his eyes fell on the Shirley.

After the girl got out of the car, she stood obediently on the spot, motionless like a small animal trapped in a trap. Although Duncan didn’t pay attention to her at all at first, she didn’t run away at all.

Completely look like listening to fate.

Duncan couldn’t help thinking about the cute and harmless appearance of the other party, and thought that if he hadn’t seen this violent girl’s heroic fighting posture with his own eyes, maybe he was really deceived by her appearance at the moment.

He shook his head, and came to Shirley: “What are you going to do in the sixth block?”

Shirley immediately stood up straight: “I… I heard that the scenery here is beautiful!”

Duncan looked the girl up and down: “I’ve wanted to ask since just now, are you actually…pretending to be cute?” “

I…I’m not pretending!” Shirley immediately stood up straighter than before, “I’ve always been very cute!”

Duncan shook Shaking his head, he thought that he had seen a lot of children who suddenly pretended to be cute and cute. The girl in front of him was not skilled at all, but he didn’t say much, just looked up at the street in the distance, seemingly casually She opened the mouth and said: “Sixth Street…Eleven years ago, there was a factory leak here, and it is said that there were cultists wreaking havoc behind the accident.” Shirley blinked, as if confused: “Why did you suddenly mention

this? “

“Okay, why are you pretending to be stupid, you have been inquiring about what happened eleven years ago in the stronghold of the Sun Cultist.” Duncan glanced at Shirley and walked forward, “This is the focus of all official records, The factory where the ‘leakage’ occurred is just ahead.”

Shirley was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed, and looked at Duncan in surprise while flipping her short legs: “Are you… also investigating Eleven The accident of years ago?!”

It seems that after confirming that the boss really doesn’t eat people (at least for the time being), and that the two parties have the same purpose, she has become a little more courageous, and she dared to ask questions at this time.

“Well, I’m interested.” Duncan nodded noncommittally, but he stopped suddenly after walking a few steps, and looked at Xue Li curiously, “Do you often evade fares?”

Xue Li opened her mouth: “I… “

Duncan knew what was going on when he saw the girl’s expression. He shook his head: “Fare evasion is not good.”

Shirley almost cried when she heard this—she was lectured by Agou and the neighbor’s uncle and aunt. She was even preached by the magistrate of the city-state, but she really didn’t expect that one day she would be suddenly preached by a boss who was like an evil god, and what this boss taught her was not to evade fares in the car… These days, subspace Is the moral level of the bosses in the movie already so high? !

Since Agou described the terrifying existence in the body of “Mr. Duncan” to her last time, she has faintly linked this big man with the shadow in the subspace.
