Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 127

[Chapter 127 What did you see]

Seeing Nina’s expression of excitement and curiosity after a moment of astonishment and nervousness, Shirley couldn’t help but muttered in a low voice: “You can’t be described as bold anymore.” Is it…”

Nina didn’t hear what Shirley was muttering at all, her attention was completely attracted by the black bone hound in front of her, and after she jumped off the chair, she walked around Agou for two Circle around, looking up and down carefully – when she saw A Gou’s empty and blood-filled eye sockets, she was finally startled, but it was only a shock.

“It’s amazing…” she repeated again, and even seemed to want to reach out to touch Agou’s bone and skull, but she took her hand back at the last second and turned to look up at Shirley, “This is my first time. I saw such an extraordinary existence with my own eyes once… What is Agou? Is it a creature summoned by magic? Or…” “

It’s a demon,” Shirley replied frankly, as if trying to scare Ni Na, let the other party be a little aware of the danger of Agou, “The most dangerous and dangerous kind of demon.”

Nina was really a little shocked, she probably didn’t expect that besides the ugly appearance, it is very polite A Gou actually has the title of “devil”, and his face is full of disbelief: “It is… a devil?

” “Miss, this may be the first time you have seen a deep demon. Don’t give me a wrong impression of the deep demon because of my existence. My compatriots are diverse, and the common thing is that they are all extremely cruel and ruthless…”

“Youyuan…” Nina was stunned. She finally woke up from the novel tension of seeing an extraordinary existence for the first time, and recalled what was said in the book, “Shirley, you…” “Just like

you As you can see, I am tied to the deep demon,” Shirley raised her arm, showing Nina the chain that merged with her body, “so I don’t want people to know my secret, you understand What? If the members of the Church of the Deep Sea know, they will throw me into the fire or into the boundless sea without hesitation.”

Xue Li’s expression was extraordinarily solemn, and Nina realized something from the other party’s solemn attitude. She glanced at Xue Li with a slightly complicated expression, and then looked at Agou: “…I saw it in the book, You Yuan The deep sea is full of frantic and evil creations, they are the residues discharged from the body of the deep sage, and they are dominated by chaos from birth to death, but Mr. Agou looks…” “Agou is special,” Shirley said

lightly , “Normal deep demons don’t have hearts and don’t understand human emotions, but Ah Gou does—although it doesn’t even know why it has such a change, but this change makes it impossible to survive in the deep sea “

Nina was stunned, and nodded half-understanding: “Oh.”

While speaking, she fell into a brief silence, then suddenly scratched her hair, and looked at Duncan with some distress: “Uncle, I It feels like a mess in my head.”

She recalled her chaotic experience of the day, recalled the process of getting along with Shirley, looking at Agou in front of her, a sense of absurdity out of reality finally came up dully.

“You have experienced too many things today,” Duncan’s gentle and quiet words came, like a candle lighted in the dimness, making Nina’s sudden trance consciousness stabilize again for some reason, “Some confusion is normal. Nina

blinked her eyes and finally realized what she had overlooked from just now. She looked at Duncan fixedly: “Uncle, if you have known Shirley for a long time… do you also know her secret? ? You also know Agou?”

“Earlier than you,” Duncan smiled, “but I didn’t know she was the ‘friend’ you mentioned before.” “

Then…” Nina hesitated, “Then you Are you also investigating what happened eleven years ago? Are you investigating together?”

“Well, we have cooperated once or twice by chance.” Duncan nodded and said.

“…Why do I feel that you are the only one keeping it from me?” Nina muttered belatedly, “And you are investigating what happened eleven years ago… Is there any secret about what happened eleven years ago? ?”

“We don’t know now, but we all agree that there was a fire that was erased back then,” Duncan said in a deep voice, his eyes fell on Nina, “Sorry, I did hide it from you, because this It’s too dangerous.”

“Uncle, what about you?” Nina was suddenly a little angry, “Aren’t you dangerous, Uncle?!”

As soon as she said this, Duncan didn’t say anything. Agou and Xueli covered their faces at the same time, and Xueli muttered softly: “Of course your uncle is dangerous, your uncle is the most dangerous…”

Duncan silently glanced at Xueli, and then shook his head slightly at Nina : “Uncle is an adult, and uncle, I am much stronger than you imagined.”

Nina’s eyes kept sweeping between Duncan and Shirley, her expression changed several times, and she didn’t know what to do. There were so many messy thoughts going on, but just when Duncan thought that the girl might become stubborn, or make a fuss like an ordinary adolescent girl, Nina suddenly sighed.

“It’s getting dark,” she looked up at the sky outside the door, as if all the topics just now had never happened before, “I’ll go cook——Shirley, you can stay too, don’t you hurry when it gets dark?” Safe.”

“Ah…ah?” Shirley didn’t react for a while, she couldn’t keep up with Nina’s train of thought, and then hurriedly waved her hands, “Oh, no, no! Agou and I can catch up if we go back sooner. …”

As a result, before she finished speaking, Duncan’s voice came from the side: “Hold on, the sun will go down in a few minutes—then there will be guards everywhere on the street, are you sure you want to be in that situation? Going through the city under martial law?”

Shirley froze all of a sudden, she looked back at the sky outside the shop, then at Duncan’s calm expression, and finally realized that she couldn’t get out of the antique shop today.

“Then…alright,” the girl sat down in frustration, and forced a smile on her face to look at Nina, “Is there anything I can do to help?”

“No, I always cook at home,” Nina laughed, and said as she walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor, but she stopped suddenly when she was about to step on the steps. She stood there, She looked at Xue Li very seriously, and it took several seconds before she said, “Xue Li, are we friends?

” She had no choice but to turn her head to look at Nina, and after a few seconds of silence, she shook her head: “…No.”

But then, she nodded again: “But I can try Try.”

Nina laughed, although the other party didn’t give a definite answer, she seemed to have got the perfect answer, she ran upstairs quickly, her footsteps were quick and brisk.

Shirley watched the other party run up to the second floor in a daze, and then suddenly heard a calm voice from the side: “Thank you.”

It was Duncan who was speaking.

Shirley was startled, and hurriedly sat back on the chair and turned to Duncan: “What are you thanking me for?”

“Nina has no friends at school,” Duncan said, accustomed to the other party’s always overly nervous reactions, his tone Said plainly, “So two days ago when she mentioned that she had made a new friend in school, she seemed very happy.”

Shirley blinked in confusion, a little confused.

“So first of all, thank you for not telling Nina that you are her friend perfunctorily, and secondly, thank you for saying that you can try.” “

I… don’t quite understand,” Shirley was still confused. I was still confused just now, “You are here… just playing an ordinary person, right? Nina… doesn’t seem to know how special you are at all, she is also in school, she has no sense of existence at all, even if you It’s not Agou’s guide. I almost failed to find her when I went to school the first time, but common sense judges that a ‘family member’ like her who is favored by you…” “Not a family member, but a niece,” Duncan emphasized again, and

then Looking at the other party with a particularly serious expression, “Now that Nina has left, I have a question for you.”

“You said, you said…”

“It was Agou who guided you to approach Nina, right?”

“…Yes.”

“Because Agou ‘smelled’ a certain smell on Nina? It judged accordingly Is Nina related to the fire eleven years ago?”

“Yes.”

“What kind of breath is it? Is it the same breath as that factory? Or something else?”

Shirley didn’t answer this time, she turned her eyes I voted for Agou.

Under Duncan’s gaze, Agou hesitated for a few seconds before finally lowering his head:

“There are ashes floating around her, countless ashes, Mr. Duncan.”
