Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 117

[Chapter 117 Everything is normal]

Shirley left quickly with Agou, while Duncan looked away from the distant intersection and landed on the ruins of the factory again.

After the fire of the spirit body faded, the invisible curtain closed again, and the factory returned to its previous “normal” appearance-the traces of the fire were completely erased, and the ubiquitous ashes were also hidden in nothingness .

Duncan’s gaze slowly moved up, above the factory, to the sky.

He imagined that there was a gauze-like veil quietly covering the surroundings, hiding the truth below the reality. Although there are not many existing residents in the sixth block, there are always thousands of people, and in these few days Under the eyes of thousands of people, the invisible curtain has shrouded the truth for eleven years.

The residents here even completely forgot about the fire from their memory – they only thought that the “chemical pollution” leaked from the factory caused the block to be so dilapidated.

Thinking of this, Duncan frowned suddenly.

The truth in the factory was a fire, and Agou also confirmed that there is no chemical pollution left around the factory. Since there is no so-called “pollution”…there is no newborn born in the entire Sixth Street for eleven years. for what? !

If it wasn’t for the birth date caused by chemical pollution…could it be some kind of power in the Transcendental Domain that is preventing the birth of newborns in the Sixth Street?

Duncan looked at the sky thoughtfully.

It seems… that invisible curtain is bigger than he imagined.

…

“We ran out… did we really run out?”

In a back alley some distance from the sixth street, Shirley poked her head out of the shadows, carefully observing whether there was any law and order on the nearby roads. Officer patrolling, at the same time lowered his voice and said to the corner beside him.

There was a dark shadow in the corner, as if the invisible darkness had a sticky texture. Agou hid in this shadow and made a low and vague voice: “It’s not that we ran out, it’s Which big shot let us go.”

“It’s all the same thing,” Shirley waved her hand, and sat on the ground without caring about her image, “Fuck, I was scared to death… I didn’t dare to breathe, the whole process You still don’t dare to swear, and you have to pretend to be cute… A dog, you don’t know…” “

I know, I see more things than you, have you forgotten?” A voice in the shadows said faintly, “How does it feel? , isn’t walking with a smiling subspace shadow more tiring than dealing with a bunch of vicious sheriffs and guards?” “…Don’t talk about it,

I’m cold,” Shirley rolled her eyes, “It’s all because you told me so scary last time. If I don’t know anything, I certainly don’t know what to be afraid of today… Why do you say that such a big man pretends to be an ‘ordinary person’? Even like an ordinary person Squeeze the bus, and even get on the bus to buy a ticket! Who would have thought that he would run into him in this way!”

A Gou was silent for two seconds: “…Maybe it’s just out of interest, maybe it’s just staring at you, I’m most afraid This is the only thing… We have already dealt with this kind of existence, I am afraid that fate has already been entangled…”

Shirley shivered slightly, and asked cautiously: “You mean…we really still Will you meet him? Forgive me…”

“Did you forget what he said when we parted?” A Gou sighed, “He will find us.”

Shirley didn’t speak for a while, just kept her head down in silence, After a while, Ah Gou suddenly said: “What? Are you scared? Regret it? Then it may be a little late now… I reminded you before that when you step into the extraordinary field, you must be prepared to deal with various superior forces , most of those things are beyond human imagination – if you listened to my advice a few months ago, don’t start investigating the old things back then, you can still live your peaceful life now…” “I regret it!

” Shirley lowered her head and interrupted Agou’s voice viciously, “I have never regretted it from the beginning, and I won’t in the future! Don’t say such frustrating things to me again!”

“Okay, okay, I won’t say anymore—have you rested enough? It’s almost time for us to leave. Hasn’t your ‘new friend’ made an appointment with you?” “I…I’ll wait another two minutes,”

Xue Li scratched her hair, her voice was muffled, “The legs are a bit weak, wait a minute…”

Agou didn’t speak any more, just let out a hoarse grunt, and then the wriggling shadow it was hiding shrunk little by little, Gradually blended into Shirley’s shadow.

… At

lunch time, Fan Na stuffed the bread with jam into her mouth, and while she swallowed, she looked at the briefing materials at hand. She felt a little choked, and then casually took the glass beside her. Pour it in several mouthfuls.   Uncle Dante’s voice came from across the table, with helplessness

: “Fanna, eat more elegantly—and don’t drink wine like water.”

See their lord,” Fanna looked up at her uncle, and said while trying to swallow the food in her mouth, “and this is not a banquet outside…” “Family dinners should also pay attention to

etiquette – sooner or later you will You can’t get married,” Dante looked at his niece who had reached the age of marriage but hadn’t even brought back a boyfriend with a headache, “Oh, it’s better to say that you can’t get married anymore…” Fan Na

ate The movements finally slowed down, and the young judge seemed a little embarrassed: “I… the duties of a judge are relatively…” “The

Deep Sea Church does not prohibit priests from marrying, and judges also have normal families. He also recited “The Codex of the Storm.” Dante shook his head, “Seriously, there is really no suitable one?”

Fan Na lowered her head and poked the bread on the plate with a knife: “The main reason is that there is no one that can be beaten. …”

“…Let’s go back and ask if the oath can be revoked,” Dante sighed, looking worried, “You shouldn’t swear casually when you received the gift, especially the first one, you have to be strong to do it.” Walk with yourself, Bishop Valentine should have stopped you…”

Fan Na’s head was a little lower, but she was tall and embarrassed at the moment. When she was taught by her uncle, she was still the same as she was when she was a child, and her voice was a little muffled: “There is no way to take back the oath casually. It is made in front of the goddess.” The sacred agreement, and… I am not taking an oath casually, almost all female guardians will have that one when they swear, it is a symbol of bravery bestowed on us by the storm, and it is also to prove to the goddess…” Dante

silently Looking at her niece who is a head and a half taller than herself: “Then have you ever thought that one day you will train yourself to be invincible?”

Fan Na: “… Isn’t this for the second and third oath… …”

Dante: “… Sigh.”

This is a topic that the uncle and nephew will bring up every now and then in the past year or two, and every time the topic ends in embarrassment, this time is no exception.

However, Fan Na quickly adjusted her mood. She resolved the battle on the dinner plate at an astonishing speed, and after collecting the documents at hand, she got up and prepared to leave: “I’m done eating, uncle, you… huh?

Fanna stopped suddenly. She looked at Dante Wayne’s face in surprise, and pointed at the other’s prosthetic ruby eye: “Uncle, the wound near your eye is oozing blood… Are you okay ?

” Huh?” Dante froze for a moment, quickly reached out to touch it, and after seeing the blood on his hand, he quickly got up and took a mirror to check the condition of his prosthetic eye – he suddenly saw his ruby-made prosthetic eye. The edge of the completed eyeball was oozing blood little by little, and the blood flowed down the folds and scars around the wound. The amount was not much, but it was scary.

“Don’t move yet,” Fanna quickly walked over, and put her hands near Dante’s eyes, while reciting the words from the “Storm Codex” in a low voice, “May the sea breeze moisten the limbs and make this flesh and blood recover as before

Under the effect of the holy prayer, Dante felt a little itching near the wound, and the small bleeding soon stopped, and he was a little helpless: “Don’t make such a fuss, it’s not the first time in these years— — After all, it is cold ore and metal, and it is normal to occasionally have a little ‘little conflict’ with flesh and blood.”

The expression on Fan Na’s face did not relax at all, she was still staring at Dante’s ruby eye, and asked after a long time: “Do you feel anything else? Is there a burning pain? Or through Can you see some phantoms through this ruby eyeball?”

Dante blinked, and he looked at Fanna, the ruby eyeball that had been blessed once clearly reflected what he saw—the

flames were raging behind Fanna Burning, the dining room was covered with ashes and scorched marks, and formless coke and molten deposits hung down from the roof, like an upside-down ominous omen.

The ruby eyeballs were slightly hot, and then gradually returned to ice-cold.

Dante smiled: “Of course not, everything is normal.”
