Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 121

[Chapter 121 Rescue]

Time seemed to slow down suddenly. In the darkness and the approaching scorching heat, Nina felt her mind running uncontrollably——

she seemed to recall her childhood, recalling I ran up and down the antique shop with my uncle to “help”, but made a mess of everything. I recalled that my uncle explained the stories behind those “antiques” to me. In the end, they were all made up. I recalled my first The first time I went to school, the first time I saw a steam mechanism in a textbook, the first time I got a compliment from the teacher, the first time I made friends… and the first time I lost friends.

She felt that her mind was in a mess, and her consciousness became more and more confused.

The smoke has begun to seep into the room little by little, affecting breathing and thoughts.

And those disturbing memories, in the end, all turned into the appearance of being swallowed by flames.

A big fire… a big fire that only existed in her memory seemed to be blazing again before her eyes.

Nina stared blankly at the ground not far away, as if the ground would burst into flames in a second, but at this moment, she suddenly felt a cold hand pressing against her forehead.

“Are you okay?” Shirley looked at her “friend” worriedly, “Suddenly her eyes froze…and she kept muttering something in a low voice.” “I…I’m fine,” Nina

said He quickly shook his head and grabbed Xue Li’s arm, “Thank you… I just suddenly remembered my family.”

“Family…” Xue Li was stunned when she heard these words, and then asked casually. Asked, “Who is in your family?”

“There is only one uncle… My parents passed away many years ago, and I grew up with my uncle,” Nina thought for a while, her head buried in her knees slowly, “I promised him to go home early today…”

“You… You and your uncle should have a good relationship, right?” Shirley seemed a little uncomfortable with this kind of topic, and seemed not to know how to comfort her friend, as if she had nothing to say Asking for words, “What does he do?”

“He’s just an ordinary person. Our family opened an antique shop in the downtown area, and he’s managing it alone…” Nina said slowly, and quickly waved her hands after noticing Shirley’s surprised expression, “It’s not what you want The kind of very powerful antique shop, there are no real things.”

“That sounds very powerful!” Shirley quickly complimented, “The manager! If you have a store of your own, even if it is in the lower city…then you Life at home should be pretty good too, right?”

“Actually, it’s pretty average,” Nina continued waving her hands, “Uncle’s health wasn’t very good a few years ago, and the business in the store wasn’t very good, so he didn’t save much money… But I I think Uncle is really powerful, he can even chat with Mr. Morris for a long time! He knows a lot of things, and Mr. Morris said he is a profound person…” Xue Li pretended to be

serious after listening to Nina’s narration Head: “Then after we go out, I must meet your uncle…”

Nina laughed. She was about to open her mouth to say something, but suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the direction of the door—the next second Suddenly, the door of the water room, which was not very strong at all, was kicked open from the outside, and fell down with a bang!

The moment she saw this scene, Nina’s first reaction was that the fire in the corridor outside would detonate and sweep in because the door was broken. I saw a familiar figure stepping into the door—the expected flame did not appear.

Shirley was also startled by the loud noise of the broken door. She looked back in astonishment, and her whole body froze the moment she saw the figure at the door.

She saw the shadow incarnation of the subspace standing quietly at the door, and in the corner of her eye, the last flame was crawling and receding at the foot of that figure, she got up in astonishment, and wanted to step back with a trace of fear— —For a hundredth of a second, she even considered sending Nina, her new “friend”, out, but before she had time to take any action, Nina stood up behind her.

“Uncle Duncan?!” Nina looked at the figure that appeared at the door in surprise. At this moment, it seemed that all the fear and depression disappeared with the appearance of that figure.

“Nina?” Duncan also looked at the girl in surprise—he actually found this place following the “imprint” left by Shirley, and he planned to find Shirley as a helper before continuing to search the rest of the museum part, but unexpectedly saw Nina directly here.

In the next second, his eyes fell on Shirley.

Let’s put it this way… What I heard through the “imprint” before, the person talking to Shirley is Nina… The “classmate” that Nina mentioned before is Shirley? !

After a quick turn in his mind, Duncan had already understood, and then he noticed the rapidly changing look on Shirley’s face, and he took a step forward before the summoner who had a “fate” with him could speak. , Looking around: “It seems that you are all right.”

The next second, he noticed that there was a third person in the room: a young lady in a long skirt was passing out on the ground, but she seemed to be alive.

At this moment, Xueli finally regained her ability to think. She suddenly recalled what Nina said to herself just now. After a while, her neck stiffened and she slowly turned her head, with a ghostly look on her face: “Nina…he is …your uncle?”

“Yes!” Nina said happily, and then threw herself on Duncan in a few steps, “Uncle, why are you here?! The fire outside has gone out?!” “Not yet,

but The fire is under control.” Duncan said casually, he knew that this ambiguous statement would look suspicious under normal circumstances, but now Nina was clearly in a state of confusion, and the terrified girl just grabbed his arm vigorously, a He muttered vigorously: “Great, I thought I was going to…”

“Okay, let’s talk about it later, this is not a place to talk,” Duncan interrupted Nina, and then his eyes swept over Shirley, And the lady who fell on the ground, “We have to take this lady.”

“Ah… good!” Nina reacted belatedly, and hurried over to pick up the lady, Shirley also ran away immediately Come to help – but due to the difference in height, this is not easy for them, so Duncan stepped forward and prepared to do it himself.

But the moment he stretched out his hand to help the lady up, something suddenly came into Duncan’s sight and stopped him.

It was an amethyst pendant that looked familiar.

Duncan froze for a moment, and slowly recalled Mr. Morris’ previous home visit and some things revealed in the other party’s speech.

“Uncle?” Nina’s voice came from the side, interrupting Duncan’s thoughts.

Duncan shook his head lightly, glanced at Nina, then glanced casually at Shirley, and smiled slightly: “The world is really small.

” He picked it up with the help of a girl.

A group of people left the water room. There was no flame in the corridor outside the water room, and even the thick smoke had dissipated most of it due to “unexplained reasons”. Xue Li looked at the dark passage ahead, hesitated before speaking: “Which direction are you going?”

Duncan raised his head and was about to point out the direction when he suddenly sensed something through the “power of flames” that permeated the museum. Walk quickly through an exit: “This way.”

Under the active retreat and guidance of the flame, they quickly left this place, and shortly after they left, a group of figures suddenly circled the corner of the corridor ahead and appeared in the Near the water house.

That was the Guardian team of the Deep Sea Church that rushed into the fire.

The team was disheartened, but the blessings of the ocean had not dissipated on all of them—they rushed in with the determination to die, but they were safe because the fire in the museum suddenly and quickly subsided.

“The fire here is also out…” The pastor leading the team frowned slightly, and muttered while observing the surrounding environment, “Even the smoke has dissipated.” “It’s a good thing that the fire is out.” A

guard said in a low voice.

“It’s indeed a good thing, but under normal circumstances, a fire of this scale wouldn’t be extinguished so easily.” The pastor said in a deep voice. Suddenly, he noticed the violently damaged door of the nearby water room.

“Someone has been here…” A guard immediately stepped forward to check. After confirming the traces near the gate, he skillfully took out the incense burner and prayer book, and put a special lens set on his head.

The lens group looks like a half-helmet composed of copper pipes, cranks, and a series of lenses, and complex runes can be seen etched on the edge of some of the lenses.

The guardian placed the incense burner on the ground, then adjusted the lens group on the head, and began to observe all the remaining clues nearby.

“There is no supernatural power remaining… just a few ordinary people, the exact number cannot be determined, and the aura is very chaotic,” the guard quickly reported, “It should be the tourists who were trapped before… The door was destroyed inward, and it seems that someone is coming Break the gate outside and save people.”

“Are you sure there is no supernatural power?”

“No.”

“…Continue to search upwards.”

“Yes!”
