Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 123

[Chapter 123 The figure on the edge of the square]

After asking where the rescue point near the square is, Heidi clutched her head and left by herself, but Duncan didn’t mean to deal with the “official personnel” over there—mainly now Next to him was Shirley, and this girl who could summon deep demons obviously didn’t want to deal with the Church of the Deep Sea.

Watching Heidi’s figure drift away, Duncan exhaled softly, first turned his head to look at Nina, “You’re not hurt, are you?” “

No,” Nina is still in shock, she has been subconsciously grabbing Duncan It was only at this time that he suddenly realized that he let go of his hand, and then looked at Duncan in surprise, “You haven’t said it yet, why did you appear in the museum?” “I happen to be doing business nearby,” Duncan said with a

smile , “Then I suddenly heard the news that the museum was on fire, so I came to save you.”

Before the other party wanted to say anything else, he reached out and rubbed the girl’s hair, comforting the frightened Nina: “OK It’s over, it’s all over, as long as

I’m not injured.” “…I’m not a child anymore!” Nina shook her head, and then she saw Xue Li standing beside her, she was about to speak, but her face Suddenly, a strange look appeared, as if she had recalled something that went against her in an instant. She looked up and down the girl in front of her, “Xue Li…why do I suddenly feel…you’re a little…

” The second’s attention was still on Duncan. At this time, when she saw Nina’s reaction, a panic visible to the naked eye appeared on her face. She opened her eyes slightly, and looked at Duncan again in a panic, and her expression became more serious. Come out with a fear.

Duncan’s heart was moved when he saw the change in the other party’s expression, because the girl’s expression was exactly the same as when he was caught fare evasion by car before. He glanced at Nina thoughtfully, and recalled a little bit about his dealings with Shirley And the identity she plays now——

I know that the two times I dealt with Shirley were when Nina was in school, and I also know that Shirley’s true personality is extremely bad and rude, and she is not a “quiet and good boy” at all. One of the abilities of the dog, a mysterious demon, is to interfere with the judgment of ordinary people in order to disguise her identity…

and her current “identity” is Nina’s new friend at school, and this identity is full of loopholes.

Duncan rubbed his chin, stretched out his hand to hold Nina’s shoulder, and pointed in Shirley’s direction with his chin: “Do you really know her?” “

Yes, her name is Shirley, she is my new friend, But…” Nina frowned, “But for some reason, I suddenly couldn’t remember when she appeared in school just now…”

Duncan turned his head and quietly looked at Xue, who was already trying to reduce her sense of existence. It took a long time for Shirley to speak softly: “You still have a chance to explain yourself, or I…”

As soon as his voice fell, Shirley popped out a bunch of words: “I’m sorry I was wrong, I just wanted to investigate things, so I messed up.” I went to school, but I really didn’t hurt Nina, and just now I helped her block the falling wood in the museum, you really believe me, I really didn’t know this was your family, I didn’t know about a big man like you Hobbies, please let me go…”

Duncan hadn’t had time to say the following, but he was shocked by the series of crying out of this dog girl. His first reaction was that this girl was very talented. , maybe it can be used as a sparring partner for the goat’s head…

Then he coughed twice and interrupted Xue Li’s crackling: “It’s not a family member, this is my niece.”

While talking, his eyes also noticed Xue Li Lily’s hands.

There are traces of being burned by the flames, and although only light scars are left due to its amazing healing power, it seems that she was indeed injured in the museum.

If she wasn’t lying (and probably didn’t dare), then she should really be protecting Nina.

Of course, Shirley didn’t know what Duncan was thinking. She was almost in a state of emptying her mind at this time: “You…you said it was a niece, so it is a niece…”

It was only at this time that Nina came to her senses. She glanced at her uncle in surprise, and then at the “friend” in front of her: “Wait, you… do you know each other? And Shirley, why…” “Acquainted by

chance Yes,” Duncan said lightly, he didn’t let Shirley speak, because it was uncertain what this guy would reveal in front of Nina, “It seems that we have a lot of things to talk about, don’t you think so, Shirley “

Shirley was about to cry, she looked at Duncan with a mournful face: “If you say yes, then…” “

You say yes.”

“Yes, yes.”

“Uncle, don’t be so cruel to Shirley,” Ni Na was still confused at this time, but she could see that her new friend was very afraid of her uncle for some reason, and her uncle was not very polite to Shirley, which made her a little uneasy and confused at the same time, “I am now My mind is in a mess… Can anyone explain to me what’s going on here?”

“Let’s talk slowly when we get home,” Duncan exhaled softly, looked up at the museum that was emitting smoke, and then turned to Looking at the direction she came from, “It’s too messy here, and the two of you are in such disgrace, you have to go back quickly and take a shower and change your clothes.” Shirley stammered: “I…I want

to Follow?”

Then she nodded vigorously without waiting for Duncan to speak: “You’re right!”

Duncan sighed a little dumbfounded, it seems that no matter what Shirley wanted to do when she approached Nina, she would stay next to Nina from now on. It must be harmless to humans and animals, then he shook his head and prepared to leave with the two girls.

At this moment, his gaze happened to sweep across the edge of the Museum Square.

A figure standing near the crowd at the edge of the square suddenly caught his attention.

It was a figure in a black coat, with his back turned to this side, looking towards the direction of the fire scene. Judging from his back, he seemed to be a tall and thin man. The coat on his body looked like a long windbreaker, and the long hem almost covered It covered his whole body, and the weirdest thing about this figure was that he was holding a big black umbrella on this sunny day.

In the weather where there is no wind or rain, and the sun is not too strong, a tall and thin man in a long windbreaker is standing on the edge of the square with an umbrella and looking at the fire scene. There were many people gathered, but none of them glanced in the direction of the man holding the umbrella.

“Uncle?” Nina noticed that Duncan stopped suddenly, and looked curiously in the direction he was looking, “Is there anything over there?” “There

is a man with an umbrella on a sunny day over there, it’s strange.” Duncan said casually Said.

“A person with an umbrella on a sunny day?” Nina was stunned for a moment, “Where? I didn’t see it…” “

I didn’t see it either.” Shirley also rubbed her eyes, following Duncan’s line of sight curiously. , “I’m afraid you read it wrong…”

“You didn’t see it?” Duncan frowned instantly, he glanced at Shirley and Nina, but after he turned his gaze back to the direction of the square in the next second, that The figure holding an umbrella has disappeared without knowing when.

“Uncle?” Nina looked at Duncan worriedly, “Did you feel unwell after inhaling a lot of smoke just now?

” , Duncan just shook his head and said indifferently.

But his eyes still stayed on the other side of the square, and he took a deep look there for the last time before withdrawing his gaze.

If it was just a weirdo with an umbrella, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

But if it is a figure that only you can see, the situation is different.

He remembered the figure.

…

Fan Na brought a group of elite guards to the vicinity of the Maritime Museum, but when she arrived, the sudden fire had come to an end.

A disheartened deep-sea priest came before the judge with several guardian fighters who had just rushed out of the fire.

“The fire disappeared by itself suddenly,” said the deep-sea priest immediately after saluting Fanna, “but we didn’t find any traces of extraordinary power at the scene.” “It disappeared by itself?

” The expression became serious, “…you led the team into the fire scene, did you find any clues?” “A

large range of excessive panic, hallucinations, and babbles appeared among the citizens who fled from the scene. I suspect that there is extraordinary pollution in the museum,” The pastor nodded, “But we searched inside and found nothing… The only abnormality is that the flame suddenly subsided by itself.”

Speaking of this, the pastor made another gesture of praying to the goddess, Added: “But it is also because the fire has subsided that the guards and I can exit safely.”

Fan Na thought for a while, then nodded lightly: “Okay, I will arrange people to rescue the fire after the fire is completely over.” Search the museum thoroughly again to see if there are any signs of abnormal changes in the collection…”

After the brief instruction, the young judge raised his head and glanced at the citizens who were being rescued and comforted, as if they were Looking for something in the crowd.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far away: “Fan Na! I’m here!”

Fan Na looked up, and saw Heidi, who was in a panic, waving at her vigorously in the crowd.
