Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 126

[Chapter 126 Get to know each other]

Nina seems to be focusing on subtleties, but for Shirley, this is a good thing.

From the bottom of her heart, she has regarded this innocent and ordinary girl in front of her as a subordinate of a subspace shadow, and it is the kind of relative of a daughter-in-law-the less negative impression she has in front of this subordinate, the less she will be. Of course, the chance of surviving in front of the boss will be higher.

Nina didn’t know how much was hidden under Shirley’s awkward and stiff smile. The girl was surprised and a little excited now, because she had never been in such close contact with a real extraordinary person (usually going to church is not counted). The understanding of the matter is limited to books, and in her eyes, Shirley, who used some kind of “supernatural illusion” to sneak into the school to investigate the incident, seemed to have been shrouded in a mysterious and powerful aura.

She even forgot the other party’s little “deception” to her for a short time, and instead focused all her attention on the extraordinary life and adventures of the extraordinary – even though the adventures were basically made up by her own brain asked: “Where do you usually live? Do you have your own secret base or something? Or is there a very mysterious organization?” “Do

you usually hide in caves?” Or a sewer or something? Is there a place like a warehouse where various ritual objects are stored?

“Are you born with special abilities? Or do you have some powerful supernatural items? Are you the legendary ‘mystic’? I heard that there is such an ancient profession. Mystics can cast spells without relying on any gods. It is said that their power comes from their blood…

“What do you usually eat? Do you have to drink herbs or weird animal blood regularly? ah? Do you also eat normally? real? “

Nina asked one question after another, and there was no end to it. Shirley broke out in layers of cold sweat on her forehead halfway through coping – not because she couldn’t answer the other party’s question, but because there was Duncan next to her! Duncan

never Just now, I have been watching Shirley silently, with a gentle and friendly smile—on the surface, I look like a parent who shows up to entertain her children when their children invite their classmates to visit.

Simple, kind, harmless to humans and animals.

But if he had fun, Shirley would break out in a layer of cold sweat.

“You seem to be very afraid of my uncle,” no matter how slow Nina was in this regard, she could still notice Shirley’s strange behavior, and recalled the other party’s reaction in the museum before, which made her endure I couldn’t help asking, “What the hell happened between you?”

“No… nothing! Really!” Shirley sat up straight almost all of a sudden, shaking her hands vigorously, “I…I What can happen to your uncle, I am still a child…”

Duncan felt that something was wrong when he heard this, he knew that the two girls could not continue to play freely, and quickly coughed twice before Shirley ran the train with her mouth full. A voice interrupted it: “Actually, it’s nothing, it’s just that she was evading fares by car, and I happened to catch her once.”

“Just because of this?” Nina looked at Xue Li in surprise, “That wouldn’t leave such a big shadow, would it?” …But Uncle is right, fare evasion is bad.”

Shirley’s tears were about to fall: “I really don’t want to evade fares in the future!”

Nina nodded, and then she seemed to think of something, and she couldn’t help but She looked at Shirley very seriously: “Then… can you tell me, what are you investigating? You became friends with me because of your ‘investigation’?” Shirley’s body was tense, her eyes

were It started to float sideways, but was just halfway there when it met Duncan’s peaceful gaze.

“I’m investigating the fire that happened eleven years ago.” Shirley suddenly lowered her head slightly, as if she had figured something out or simply gave up, and said in a low voice, “It’s mentioned in the official records. The leak at the factory in Sixth Street District…”

“The fire eleven years ago?” Nina’s eyes widened suddenly, her tone filled with astonishment, “Wait…you also know about the fire eleven years ago?!”

“…you know too?!” Shirley was also surprised, she stood up from her chair directly, “You also experienced that fire?”

“Of course I know, my parents died in that fire—I was six years old, and Uncle Duncan rescued me,” Nina said in a hurry, gesticulating with her hands subconsciously, “But all this time Everyone said that I was confused by the poisonous smoke on the street. They all said that there was no big fire at all, and even the later newspapers said that there was an accident in a factory at that time…” “That year… I was also a

six I was 19 years old, and my parents also died in the fire, I remember it clearly,” Shirley looked straight into Nina’s eyes, “but people around me also told me that there was no fire at all… no wonder, no wonder Agou said that he smelled a familiar smell on you…”

As soon as she finished speaking, Duncan’s voice suddenly came from the side: “So, it was Agou who guided you to approach Nina before you sneaked into the school—and you didn’t I don’t know why you did this, that’s why you were so surprised when you heard what Nina said just now.”

Facing Duncan’s calm gaze, Shirley nodded quickly, while Nina showed some doubts: “A dog? Who is Agou?”

“Agou, it…” Shirley said, but hesitated for a second, she glanced at Duncan, then at Shirley, “Agou is my friend, it is on my side I’m close to you, but its appearance might be a little scary…”

Shirley said this, but she felt very strange in her heart—because there was clearly a subspace shadow that was countless times scarier than Agou sitting beside her. , and this subspace shadow still gets along with Nina day and night, so she has to cooperate with the boss’s “personal hobbies”, pretending that Agou is the scariest existence here, and treating the boss as an ordinary human… In all fairness,

she On weekdays, with the help of Agou’s disguise ability to move around, he has dealt with cultists, sheriffs, and even the pastor in the small church in the area. All of these can be added up, and it is not as good as in this antique. Sitting in the store for ten minutes is tense and thrilling.

In her eyes, this ordinary shop was almost at the same level as the entrance of the subspace.

Nina just looked around curiously, looking for the figure of “Agou” beside Shirley. After looking around for a long time, she asked curiously: “Then let ‘Agou’ come out to meet me, since it is yours. Friends…what am I afraid of?”

Shirley still hesitated, but Duncan suddenly tapped on the table lightly, and said to Nina: “Then you have to be mentally prepared, I’ve seen ‘Agou’, it’s really ugly.

” Curious,” Nina became even more curious when she saw Uncle Duncan and Shirley’s reaction, “I really want to meet that Mr. Dog, and wonder why Shirley’s friend has such a strange name… …”

“Well, since you want to see it,” Duncan shook his head, and looked at Shirley helplessly, “Let Agou come out to say hello, after all, he is today’s ‘guest’.” Normally,

Shirley He will never expose the secrets of himself and Agou, because in a city-state of order, walking with the deep demon itself is an extremely taboo thing. The priests of the Deep Sea Church can directly Put the eight-pound gun and six-barreled machine gun in front of her.

Now, however, a being of the shadow level of the Warp asked her to summon Gou.

“… Oh.”

She nodded, and then slowly raised her arms.

In the next second, under Nina’s astonished and slightly nervous gaze, pitch-black flames and thick smoke suddenly rose around Xue Li!

The chains extend from the flames, and at the end of the thick smoke and black flames, the silhouette of a ghostly demon is condensed.

The deep hound appeared in the flames, quickly shrank into a ball within a second, hugged its head with its front paws, hid the most terrifying eye sockets on its body, and greeted Nina in a muffled voice in a cloud of black smoke : “Good evening, Miss, I am Agou, Shirley’s friend and guardian dog. My appearance does not conform to the mainstream aesthetics of human beings, but you can look at it with abstract and tolerant eyes, so that I am just a bunch of clever Stacked bone fragments and a group of strangely colored flames…”

Duncan glanced at Shirley lightly: “In all fairness, I have never seen such a heart-moving dog in my life… In terms of personality alone It’s quite cute.”

Nina on the other side was dumbfounded, and after looking at Agou in amazement for a long time, she finally exclaimed: “Ah!”

Xue Li hurriedly said, “I told you that you might be scared…”

But before she finished speaking, she heard Nina pick up the second part of her exclamation: “This is also amazing!”

Xue Li Li: “…?”

“You… how are you?” Taking advantage of Shirley’s dazed moment, Nina has already begun to tentatively greet Agou, “Mr. Agou? Uh, you are a ‘Mr.’ Is it?”

“The deep demon has no gender, but if you want, you can call me that,” Agou replied sullenly, and seemed a little surprised at the same time, “You…are not afraid of me?” “It’s okay

, Although it does look a bit scary,” Nina thought for a while, with a bright smile on her face, “but I’m pretty brave~”
