Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 113

Shirley carefully followed Duncan, the temporary quiet atmosphere did not let her relax, but made her feel more and more oppression and fear stagnated in the silence—she knew, this fear In fact, my emotions do not come entirely from myself, but more from “Agou”.

A dog is feeling scared, and its emotions spread through the symbiotic shackles.

In order to relieve the depression in this silence, she muttered softly: “Actually, I never got caught for fare evasion before… Agou help me hide it…” “You mean the ‘disguise’ made for you by that deep

hound ‘?” Duncan raised his eyebrows, and he remembered that Shirley used Agou’s “disguise” power to sneak into the cult’s nest before, and that disguising seemed to be a cognitive confusion ability, but soon He shook his head, “I feel unreliable at all. I was spotted last time, and this time I was caught by the conductor.”

Shirley was filled with resentment when she heard this—Agou’s disguise What ever went wrong! Isn’t this revealed because it was eliminated by the gaze of a terrible existence? Is it appropriate for such a big man to make such a joke with himself…

But she didn’t dare to express her resentment, so she had to hold back for a long time and then turned into a series of dry laughs: “Ahaha…you are right, you That’s right…”

Duncan shook his head, he didn’t care what Shirley was thinking, he was just a little curious about the girl’s investigation: “Why did you pay attention to that ‘accident’ eleven years ago?”

Shirley fell silent for a while, as if she instinctively didn’t want to respond to this question, but then she pursed her lips again, as if realizing that it was meaningless to hide such a thing in front of an existence that was almost a shadow of the subspace, and then She said in a low voice: “Actually, it’s nothing, I just want to find out… about my parents…”

After she finished speaking, she quickly added: “An existence like you must find this kind of thing boring, I know, Our mortal affection and obsession are in your eyes…”

“No, I understand,” Duncan interrupted the girl before she could speak nonsense, because he could guess what Shirley saw himself in, and her words would be mixed with at least twenty catties of sand. “That is indeed a very important reason.”

He said, looking at Shirley with seriousness in his eyes: “Did your parents be involved in that ‘leakage’ accident eleven years ago? Attack by cultists?”

Shirley looked at Duncan with some surprise, she didn’t quite understand why this big man who didn’t eat people at first glance cared so much about this kind of thing, but she nodded honestly: “They …the one who disappeared eleven years ago… Well, the disappearance is a bit hypocritical, that is, they died, but their deaths were unclear…Then I and Agou depended on each other…” The girl’s voice was a little

low , These memories were not a pleasant thing for her, Duncan didn’t let her continue: “How did you and Agou meet? Those Sun Cultists said that you are a follower of the Annihilation Sect, and that only Annihilation believers can Summon the deep demon, but you don’t seem to admit it.”

“I don’t believe in any ‘sect’! I just believe in myself!” Shirley yelled subconsciously, but then quickly put away her voice, trying to pretend He looked very educated and polite, “Agou and I met eleven years ago.”

Duncan stopped suddenly and looked into Shirley’s eyes: “Eleven years ago? So…”

“It was after the so-called ‘factory leak’,” Shirley also quickly stopped and explained with her head down, “I don’t remember the specifics, and Agou also said that it couldn’t remember… It might have been annihilated by someone It was summoned by believers, but the person who summoned it must have been killed by the guardians of the Deep Sea Church, and then it was inexplicably ‘bound’ to me…”

Shirley concealed a lot of things, and she was vague and brief In the narration, too many details were skipped.

Duncan could feel the girl’s concealment and avoidance, but he didn’t pay much attention to it.

This is a normal self-protection. Even if she is facing an irresistible and powerful existence, she is also instinctively avoiding all her details from being exposed.

I might be able to use threats to force Shirley to reveal more, but this may not be able to get the whole truth. On the other hand, there is still a lack of basic trust between him and this girl, so this topic can be temporarily stopped here. That’s it.

Duncan shook his head, looked at the slightly dilapidated streets on both sides, and those passers-by who were obviously idler and slower than other blocks, and said with a little sigh: “…I hardly saw any children on the road, either It’s old people, or middle-aged people, not many young people.”

“This kind of old city is like this,” Shirley said, taking it for granted, she seemed to understand, “Everyone who is capable has moved to the Cross Street District, moved Those who don’t leave are either old people or just dawdlers, and there is no community school in this kind of neighborhood, and the children will naturally not stay, and they must all go with the adults…” Listening to Shirley, she was very confused

. Analyzing the matter, Duncan just hummed noncommittally.

He could imagine the aging population of the old town, but even so, the deadpan atmosphere of the street was a little too much to worry about.

While thinking, Duncan noticed an old man with gray hair who was sitting in front of a shop facing the street. The latter seemed to be basking in the sun, but he noticed a stranger appearing on the street, who was staring at him in a dazed and confused way. .

Duncan took Shirley and walked straight over.

“Good morning,” Duncan greeted the old man basking in the sun at the door, “We are from the fourth block, and would like to know… how to get to the church?”

He didn’t really care where the church was, but just found a Talk to the locals from head to toe.

“Church? The church is closed for a while, God knows where that nun has gone,” the old man basking in the sun woke up a little from his laziness, sat up and looked at the stranger in front of him curiously, “It’s so strange, we don’t usually have nothing Strangers like to come…what do you come for?”

“Visiting friends,” Duncan said casually, “no one usually likes to come? Why?”

“It’s not that damn factory,” the old man complained indignantly, as if he was also quite dissatisfied with the dilapidated status quo of the neighborhood, “How many years! The chemicals haven’t been cleaned up at all, and even people in the nearby neighborhoods walk around here, who would dare to get close to it…”

Duncan and Shirley looked at each other, and then said again: “I’ve seen An old newspaper, it said that the area around the factory had been cleaned up…” “The

newspaper said…there are many good things in the newspaper! The newspaper also said that the new consul will revitalize the Xicheng Industrial Zone What!” The old man spat to the side, “What happened? The West City is getting worse day by day, and our old factory here is still in ruins… Let me tell you, it was a good place when that factory was still there. There is the sixth block among the most affluent blocks in the downtown area, now look at what the hell it looks like…” The

old man started to babble as soon as he complained, and it was hard for a stranger to listen to him and let him bask in the sun just now The laziness at that time disappeared without a trace, and Duncan hurriedly interrupted: “By the way, I just noticed that there are no children in this place… There are not many young people, so they all moved away? “

Moving? No one here. At least there are old houses in this shabby place, and the rent in other neighborhoods can be easily afforded?” The old man shook his head, “There are not many young people because young people are all old.” It’s over, kid… Tch…”

The old man suddenly sighed.

“This place has not had a child for eleven years!”

“No newborn for eleven years?!” Duncan finally opened his eyes slightly, “Really?”

“Can this be fake? I have lived here for most of my life Alright,” the old man rolled his eyes, “If you want me to say, it’s all caused by that factory…the land near the factory has been polluted…”

Duncan didn’t speak, but slowly stood up straight, looking at At the end of the block, look at the location of the abandoned factory that you found on the map before.

Shirley next to him was still curiously talking to the old man. She asked about the other party’s factory, asked about the residents who stayed in the sixth block, and asked how many people had moved from here in the past eleven years.

However, the old man seemed to have lost his patience. He waved his hands irritably, mumbled some complaints, and mostly just put aside Shirley’s questions.

“Let’s go,” Duncan said to Shirley suddenly, diverting her attention from the irritable girl before she broke out, and then he looked at the old man who had started to bask in the sun again, and nodded slightly, “Thank you.” “

Oh

You’re welcome, ” the old man waved his hand, “Go slowly.” Once, now I’m going to push again!)
