Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 125

[Chapter 125 The Reflection of Fragments]

In the prayer room where incense is burned and the image of the goddess is watching the reflection of fragments, the two friends who have been friends for many years fell silent at the same time. Only the blessings from the gods gently comforted the two souls who were still in shock The sound of the waves gently echoed in Vanna’s ears, it was the whisper of the storm goddess Gemona.

The Goddess is still paying attention here, unprecedented attention.

After some time, Heidi gradually calmed down, and she carefully broke the silence: “What exactly is that I saw?”

Fan Na hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: “Perhaps… that is the group of sun heretics Something you’ve been looking for.”

“The sun heretics have been looking for?” Heidi froze for a moment, “You mean…”

“Shards of the sun,” Vanna nodded before Heidi finished speaking. , “Perhaps only fragments of the sun can match the power of the scene you saw in the illusion.”

While saying this, Fan Na slowly raised her head, stared at the icon of the Storm Goddess, thoughtfully He murmured softly: “After all…the group of heretics claim that the sun fragments are the wreckage that fell off from the so-called ‘real sun’…”

Heidi was stunned, and her expression suddenly changed slightly: “If such a thing really appeared in reality The world, the Puland city-state cannot remain as it is now…” “

So that thing must be in a sealed state,” Fanna nodded, “Information shows that the sun fragments were in the Puland area eleven years ago. The city-state appeared, but now it seems that the so-called appearance at that time should only be a leak of power, and it has been sleeping for the past eleven years…” “

And now those sun heretics want to wake up that thing? !” Heidi looked horrified, “Are they trying to destroy the entire Prand?!”

“It’s not the first day for you to deal with cultists,” Fanna glanced at Heidi, “You still don’t know their mental state? For those fanatical heretics, as long as the ‘Black Sun’ can be revived, sacrifice What are one or two city-states? They don’t even mind setting the whole world on fire and turning it into firewood for the sun god’s recovery!”

Heidi kept her mouth open for a long time, and Fanna calmed down before she spoke slowly: “ The most critical question now is what happened when you saw that vision—what happened to you, what happened around you, and what happened to the museum itself. In what state did she fall asleep, and where exactly did she fall asleep?”

“…No, I can’t remember the details,” Heidi tapped her forehead lightly, “but now I’m roughly sure that I did see it during my coma. Its projection, and emergency hypnosis was performed on myself in order to preserve important clues… Let me think about it, I was rescued at the time and was temporarily placed in a room on the first floor of the museum… According to them, they told me The situation, that room is close to the main exhibition area…”

Heidi was struggling to remember, and asked in thought: “Can’t we conclude that the clue is in the museum?” “

It’s difficult, judging from mysticism, what you saw It is not the body of the fragment, but a little ‘shadow’ leaked out of a huge and extraordinary existence in the real world. The museum is not necessarily the sleeping place of the fragment. If your consciousness is weak, your consciousness will accidentally cross the gap and see the scene on the other side of the gap.

” This kind of gap floating on the edge of reality is often not fixed. It used to be in the museum, but now it is likely to be transferred to other places. “

Fan Na patiently explained, and then shook her head suddenly: “Of course, we will still conduct a search of the museum at the highest level and maintain monitoring afterwards. The fragments will really remain in the museum in the form of some kind of sealed medium, even if not, we may be able to find some clues in the fire scene to explain why the ‘crack’ happened to appear in the museum…

“But the follow-up search has nothing to do with you. From a security point of view, you’d better stay away from that museum for the next month.” “

Of course, I wish to keep a distance from this matter,” Heidi said. Immediately nodded, “I’ve had enough bad luck!”

Fan Na silently looked at her friend who had been unlucky since she was a child, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn’t say anything. The statue of the goddess was silent, and after half a minute of silence, she suddenly said, “Who saved you?”

“Two girls who are still in school, and a man who looks to be in his forties,” Hai Dee thought for a while, “It just so happens that one of the two girls happened to be a student my father visited at home a few days ago, and that man was her uncle…Did I mention it to you? His name His name is Duncan Strain, and he is an antique store manager.”

“…I am a little allergic to the name ‘Duncan’ now,” Fanna’s mouth trembled visibly, “Although I know it is definitely not alone… …”

“I had the same reaction as you when I heard this name from my father for the first time,” Heidi spread her hands, “Speaking of which, I also promised that gentleman that I would go to his house tomorrow afternoon to save his niece. Doing a psychological evaluation, just in time to come to the door to give a formal thank you… Everything is messy today, I said goodbye in a hurry, it is a bit out of etiquette.” “Strictly speaking, it is not only

the ‘niece’ who needs a psychological evaluation , ” Fan Na’s expression suddenly became serious, and she stared straight at Heidi, “Those three people are needed.” “

Why…” Heidi subconsciously said, but then she realized, “Ah! “

That’s right, they were all by your side at the time, and you saw the appearance of sun fragments in a coma,” Vanna looked into Heidi’s eyes, “If that is really the remains of an ancient god, maybe its pollution It has spread to them along your consciousness. Maybe the scale of this spreading pollution is small, but for ordinary people, it may also be fatal.”

Heidi was dumbfounded.

…

In the antique store in the downtown area, Duncan had already closed the store early, and was sitting on a chair behind the counter in a relaxed posture, while Nina and Shirley were sitting opposite him on the left and right.

The two of them took a shower in the simple bathroom upstairs. Nina changed into new clothes, but Shirley was still wearing her black dress—it wasn’t that Nina didn’t want to lend her clothes to each other, but The difference in body size between the two was a bit big, Shirley took the initiative to refuse those clothes that were too big for her.

Of course, I don’t know if this guy had other worries when he refused… Maybe she thought that taking over Nina’s clothes was equivalent to receiving a gift from the evil god’s family? Only she knows this.

On the other side of the counter, there was Ai the pigeon, who was pacing leisurely.

There was a huge pile of chips on the table behind the thing—the one Duncan had promised it.

Ai got the french fries he was longing for, Nina returned home safely, Duncan rescued his niece, and became more familiar with the power of flames.

Everyone is very happy.

Except Shirley.

She was on the verge of crying—she wanted to cry several times today.

“So… Shirley, you are not actually my classmate… You just used some kind of…’detective skills’ to infiltrate the school to investigate some things,” Nina looked at herself with a complicated expression. Friend, “You don’t like steam and machinery either…”

“I can’t even read those textbooks…” Shirley said carefully, she answered Nina’s words, but looked at Duncan from time to time, “Sorry, I… …Sorry.”

Nina didn’t seem to notice Shirley’s apology, she just frowned in confusion: “But how did you do it? I… remember now, you always suddenly appear in my In the classroom, and then often haunt me, but you never attend class normally, and even the teachers and classmates nearby don’t seem to notice you, you…” Shirley quickly glanced at

Duncan again, confirming that the other party’s expression remained the same. After calming down, he muttered in a low voice: “Actually, it’s just a little supernatural skill…”

“Extraordinary?” Nina’s eyes widened in surprise, “Could it be that you are an investigator from the church?” “

No, no, I’m not from the church, I…” Shirley glanced at Duncan again, and she recalled that Nina just now When he went upstairs to take a shower, the boss left himself alone to explain the precautions. Although he still couldn’t understand why the boss played the game of “playing human” in this antique shop, he still obeyed it honestly. Following the boss’s orders, “I’m considered wild…a wild superman…”

Nina looked surprised: “…there are still wild superman?!” “

If it is not registered, it is wild, right? “Xue Li seemed to have given up on something completely, and said with a certain air of self-abandonment, “Teaching those dogs…isn’t that what troublesome guys usually call people like us?”

Nina listened in a daze. After Shirley’s explanation, she sized her up and down several times. The scrutiny made the latter feel uncomfortable, and Shirley dodged subconsciously: “Why are you looking at me like that…” “Then how are you?

” Amazing!” Nina suddenly said seriously.

Shirley was immediately overwhelmed: “…Is this the only thing you’re feeling?”

“That’s right!”
