Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 136

[Chapter 136 The End of the Dreamland]

The fire of the spirit body gathers and submerges into the flesh and blood.

The wreckage contaminated by the fire climbed up tremblingly, then climbed faster and faster, and quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

This group of flesh and blood that no longer thinks about it is on its way home – but can it really return to a certain “body”, or will it run out of life halfway and dissipate on its own, or will it be intercepted and killed by something? Purification, then even Duncan is not sure.

He just tried to avoid all hidden dangers within the scope of his ability.

After Shirley fought the weird black shadow, he quickly analyzed the origin of the “assailant” who appeared in the nightmare, and at the same time guessed the opponent’s ability. After Huo’s reaction, he further determined that the attacker who appeared out of nowhere was probably just a split “Pathfinder”.

The attacker had no will to fight after encountering the fire of the spirit body. The first reaction was to break up and break out in all directions. This may be interpreted as fleeing in a hurry, but it can be explained as a “pathfinder” trying to send the information away ——If this huge dream was really woven by someone behind the scenes, then the appearance of himself as an “intruder” is undoubtedly important information.

Duncan looked thoughtfully at the direction in which the clump of fragments disappeared. After climbing a certain distance, the other party disappeared into a cloud of rising smoke and dust out of thin air, which further made him confirm his guess: the sudden

appearance The attacker is more familiar with this dream than himself and Shirley. The other party has a more convenient method of movement here, and also knows some invisible “passages”, so the figure holding the umbrella just now can suddenly appear without him noticing. appear nearby.

In contrast, “explorers” like Shirley and Agou who visited for the first time are like headless chickens in the dream, and it is not easy to find those hidden guys.

But it doesn’t matter, the fire has been spread out, and a vague connection is still looming in his perception. Duncan believes that the flames he spread out will have some gains. As long as the fire of the spirit starts to spread, there will be With a clearer perception established, sooner or later he would find someone hiding in the spreading fire – and then Nina and Shirley would have no more nightmares.

“Mr. Duncan…” Shirley looked at Duncan who was suddenly silent with a little fear, hesitated for a long time before boldly said, “Do you know what that… just now is?

” Raiders of the Black Umbrella.

“…I can’t say it,” Duncan thought for a moment and shook his head, but then he looked at the burned streets around him and said thoughtfully, “But you still remember the way back from the museum? , the figure I mentioned standing on the edge of the square?”

“The one only you can see?” Shirley immediately recalled, “ah, the one who attacked us just now is the one you saw…” “

No It’s definitely the same one,” Duncan shook his head, “but it’s definitely the same ‘species’, and I suspect it’s related to those cultists who believe in the sun god—it’s very strange that they both appeared in scenes related to ‘fire’ Suspicious.”

“It’s related to those cultists…” Shirley blinked and quickly realized, “Could it be the ‘Son of the Sun’ that those cultists said?!” “Let’s be

suspicious first, although there is no evidence,” Duncan said. He exhaled lightly, “But compared to the identity of the attacker, I am more concerned about why this thing appeared in your ‘dream’ with Nina… What is the connection between the museum scene and your dream? “

As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced across the tall tower.

At the top of the tower, Nina still couldn’t be seen—but Duncan was almost sure that this was the place Nina had seen in her dream.

“This is really Nina’s dream?” Shirley also looked around curiously, her face full of disbelief, “How do you know?”

“She mentioned this dream to me, and in the dream, she was standing on the tallest distillation tower, overlooking the burnt city-state,” Duncan said while pointing to the nearby tower, “this location It’s about two blocks away from the hut in your nightmare, and although I don’t know the reason, your dreams are obviously connected to each other on a deeper level.” Shirley was surprised, she seemed to want to ask

something, but suddenly , Agou next to him seemed to have found something: “Hey Shirley, look, the umbrella that guy was holding just now seems to be still there!

” There is a big black umbrella lying quietly on the side of the street!

All their attention was on the attacker just now. After the latter’s body split, the umbrella was left on the side of the road, and no one noticed its existence for a while.

Duncan walked over, and he finally had the opportunity to observe the big black umbrella up close, but after seeing the inner layer of the umbrella, he couldn’t help but let out a “huh”.

He had imagined what the umbrella would look like that was always held by the attackers—it might be an extraordinary item inscribed with runes, or it might look ordinary on the outside, but actually possess many characteristics However, in any case, considering the strange and terrifying ability and form of the attacker itself, the painting style of this umbrella should definitely develop in the direction of evil.

However, the umbrella under the canopy was completely different from what he had imagined—

he saw an extremely complex man-made structure, with hexagonal exquisite lattices densely arranged on the skeleton, forming some kind of… solar panel-like In the gaps of the dark purple lattice, he saw tiny pipes and harnesses. In the center of the umbrella, there was another delicate device like some kind of control center connecting the umbrella handle and the surrounding lattice array. , its precision and complexity far surpassed any steam mechanism in the city-state of Pland.

Duncan stared at the thing dumbfounded.

A sense of technology, his first reaction is a sense of technology!

This thing is by no means a supernatural item, and its style of painting is completely different from some “abnormalities”. It is not a device manufactured by the current city-state civilization. This umbrella is an extremely delicate and complex technological creation.

It… comes from a civilization beyond the comprehension of modern city-states!

“What is this?” Shirley looked at the inner structure of the umbrella in astonishment and confusion. She couldn’t understand what it was at all, and she lacked Duncan’s cognition from another world. She only felt that this thing It was a hundred times more complicated than she imagined, and she even looked a little dazzled. She stretched out her hand subconsciously, “It looks like…” “Don’t touch it

!” Agou suddenly interrupted Shirley, “This looks like something A prototype of blasphemy.”

Shirley was stunned: “Prototype of blasphemy? What the hell?”

“Creations from some taboo history, things that should not appear in the real world, but are forcibly stranded in the real world,” Agou Seriously whispered, “I don’t know how to explain it to you… because I don’t know the principle behind this, anyway, you just remember that some of the history of this world is ‘locked’ Yes, and the things that were born in these taboo histories are profane prototypes, and under normal circumstances, their existence itself is harmful to the creatures in the real world… Do not touch it if you see it!” Shirley immediately put away

nervously Duncan looked at Agou thoughtfully: “Is this also the innate ‘knowledge’ of the deep demons?” “

Well,” Agou shook his head, “Not all deep demons know about it.” These, it’s just that I was born closer to the head of the Youshen Holy Lord, so I have more knowledge in my mind.” Duncan

hummed noncommittally, his eyes stayed on the weird black umbrella, and on the At this time, it seemed that due to the loss of some kind of “support”, the umbrella suddenly began to disintegrate and collapse before his eyes.

The exquisite lattice structure gradually became transparent, the skeleton and wiring harness faded and turned into gray-white debris and drifted away with the wind, and the complex device as the core also melted and flowed down like heated wax, and before this thing completely melted, the corners of Duncan’s eyes Out of the corner of the eye, I suddenly noticed tiny words printed on a certain part of the device.

That is not the lingua franca used by the city-state today, nor is it any other language he is familiar with—but the meaning of the words still came to his mind: “K-22 spectral filter crystal

core.”

The next second, including this last part , The whole umbrella is blown away by the wind.

Duncan stood up slowly, and at this moment, Shirley standing beside him suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: “Ah! What about my hand…”

Duncan looked at Shirley’s arm, and found that the other side not only , even the whole body is gradually becoming transparent and blurred.

Shirley suddenly turned pale with shock: “Help, save, save…”

“Help me!” A Gou interrupted Shirley directly, “You are about to wake up! This is the first time you wake up normally from this dream ——Why don’t you thank Mr. Duncan soon?”

Shirley finally came to her senses, and quickly looked at Duncan, only to see that the figure of the other party was also gradually dissipating in the dream.

Duncan smiled and waved to the girl in front of him: “Good night, and good morning—don’t forget to wake Nina up for breakfast later.”
