Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 143

[Chapter 143 Inquiry and Treatment]

The expression on Duncan’s face is very sincere, with a kind of “I open the door to sell fake products, and I must let the bad guys die clearly. If you can find a real thing from the back warehouse, I will buy this store.” I don’t want to” confident and determined, and Fan Na was obviously shocked by this calmness. She was stunned for a long time before she realized: “Your honesty…is really impressive.” “About the fire, you still

have What do you want to ask?” Duncan didn’t care about the weirdness in the other party’s tone, but asked calmly, “I heard afterwards that the entire museum was blocked that day?” “In fact, we highly suspect that the fire in the

museum There are extraordinary factors,” Fan Na did not hide this point, because speculation in this regard has already spread in the streets and alleys, and the mystics of the city hall have also appealed to the citizens through public channels not to approach the Museum Square in the near future. To the citizens of Prand Speaking, the existence of the extraordinary event itself does not need to be kept secret, what needs to be kept secret is only the details of the event and the truth behind it, “The fire subsided very quickly, far beyond common sense…Mr. Duncan, please recall, you Did you really not see or hear any unusual movements after entering the museum?”

“…No,” Duncan frowned, “In fact, at that time, I didn’t have the extra energy to pay attention to what was in the fire Change—after all, I am just an ordinary person, not a trained guard.”

He paused and raised his eyebrows: “The church suspects that the few of us who escaped from the fire may be related to the people behind the fire.” “Supernatural factor?”

“I personally doubt it,” Fan Na said with a serious face, “Please forgive me, it is the duty of a judge to be vigilant against all uncontrolled supernatural hidden dangers in the city-state, and I have no doubt that you are the culprit of the fire The meaning of the culprit is that extraordinary power will infect ordinary people, no matter whether the person involved has subjective intention or not, what I am worried about is that you were passively involved in the influence of some kind of extraordinary power in that fire, and this is also concerned about your safety.”

“I understand.” When Duncan heard it, he was more calm than before. He really didn’t mean to be angry at all, because the lady judge in front of him was really doing his duty. Any clues?”

“…I really didn’t find anything,” Fan Na shook her head, “There is no supernatural power left here, and the distribution of shadows and aura flow inside and outside the building are quite normal. I think…you should really just be involved in supernatural events Ordinary people.”

Duncan thought for a while, and couldn’t help but say a few more words: “Why don’t you…you check it carefully? What if there is any supernatural power left in this place that hasn’t been discovered, just like what you said just now, It’s also for our safety…”

“I have confidence in my own judgment,” Fanna puffed up her chest confidently before Duncan finished speaking, and said in a firm tone, “I have received the grace of the goddess, and my eyes are The most effective detection method, especially in the daytime, no heresy power or deep shadow can escape my sight – even the evil gods and demons who are best at hiding, there is nothing to hide in front of my eyes!” Fanna’s

side As soon as the words fell, there was another crash not far away, and Xue Li finally dropped the base of the wooden carving just now.

“I… want to see if I can put it in a safer place…”

“Just leave that pile of things alone! If you can’t, go clean the window sill!” Duncan said helplessly to Shirley, who was trying to play the clerk Then, she turned her head to look at Fan Na, held back her words for a long time, “…you’re right.” “

This kid looks like a mess,” Fan Na looked up at Shirley, and said casually, ” And it seems…a little nervous?”

“She’s helping out on the first day today,” Duncan said truthfully, “not a regular shop assistant, but a friend of my niece, who came here to learn something and help the family by the way. Children in the downtown area, come out to earn money earlier.”

Fan Na nodded, thinking that this was normal, then she considered it, and then looked at Duncan: “In addition, I want to make sure—— After the museum, do you have any residual discomfort? Have you ever had a nightmare?”

Duncan didn’t answer immediately.

Someone had a nightmare, Shirley not only had a nightmare, but also saw something unbelievable at the border of the nightmare with him-but this cannot be said.

Although the judge in front of me is a “positive person” who maintains the order of the city-state, Shirley is an out-and-out heretic in the eyes of the authorities and the church. In this world where everyone is nervous, no matter how righteous It is also difficult for a fair judge to have much tolerance and empathy for a “heretic” when they meet for the first time.

“No, everything is normal,” Duncan shook his head, “but can I ask? What kind of nightmare will it be? If something similar happens to us in the past two days, I will confirm it as soon as possible and report to the nearest Church for help.”

“It should be related to flames,” Vanna replied, “The scale is extremely large, and the flames are violently erupting in the dark void, and they bend during the eruption process, forming a magnificent arc—considering that you have just come from You narrowly escaped from death in a fire, and the shadow of short-term trauma may also cause you to dream of similar scenes in the recent period. Ordinary people cannot judge the difference between this normal dream and the nightmare under the influence of the supernatural, so I suggest you just dream If you see flames, immediately seek help from the nearest church.”

Duncan frowned.

Erupting violently in the darkness and nothingness, the spectacular arc-shaped flames…

This doesn’t sound like Nina’s dream, nor Shirley’s dream, nor the scene of the ruins of the fire that he saw last night.

If I had to say it, Fan Na’s serious expression when describing the scene reminded him of something…shards of the sun.

Only the shards of the sun have the power described in the description, and make a judge look so solemn.

Duncan considered for a moment, carefully adjusted his wording within the framework of the “enthusiastic citizen and ordinary person”, and then suddenly said: “I’m asking too much… this matter… is it related to the recent riots in the city?” Is it related to the cultists? Those cultists seem to be doing sun, flames, sacrifices, etc. all day long, and it sounds like they are going to set fire to the city at any time.” There are sun cultists in the city, and the authorities are

investigating Manhunt, this is something that ordinary people know about, Fan Na obviously didn’t think much about it, she nodded: “It’s not ruled out that they are playing tricks… But you just need to find out, don’t ask too much, it’s very important for ordinary people It’s dangerous.”

As a high-ranking judge, Fan Na knew that a cult stronghold in an abandoned factory was reported and destroyed not long ago, and she even went to the scene to investigate the matter herself, but there is no need to know more details personally. Naturally, he didn’t know that the “enthusiastic citizen” who reported the cult’s hideout was the antique store manager in front of him.

Duncan also didn’t take the initiative to bring up his original reporting behavior, because he had vaguely confirmed his guess from Fan Na’s answer, and fell into deep thought.

Even the top church officials believed that this matter was related to the Sun Cultists, and it seemed that it was indeed the Sun Fragment—when the fire broke out in the museum, the influence of the Sun Fragment did appear in the real world for a short time, and it caused people to go to deal with the scene later. Vanna’s vigilance.

So the “dream scene” that Fan Na described…could it be the sun shards? !

A huge flame erupted violently in the dark void… This is completely different from what Duncan imagined when he heard the name “Shard of the Sun” for the first time!

In his initial imagination, things like “shards of the sun”, which are chased by cultists and can be sealed sleeping in city-states, should be something similar to “abnormality”, something tangible and qualitative, “Things” that have a plausible connection with the sun, but actually have little to do with the real sun. However, according to Fana’s description… Duncan tried his best to make up his mind,

recalling that he, as a person on earth, had a great relationship with the “sun” The impression of this star, and finally feel more and more about that thing…how is it like a “solar prominence”? !

Regardless of other things, just judging from the scene, it is simply a solar prominence that was erupted into space!

The expression on his face didn’t change, but the thoughts in his heart were already ups and downs—

shards of the sun… So this thing turned out to be in the literal sense of TM? !

At the same time, in Nina’s bedroom on the second floor, Heidi had already completed the routine inquiry and guidance of the “patient”.

She has generally confirmed that Nina’s dream is not an ordinary nightmare or a continuous dream caused by purely mental stress, but whether this dream has been infringed by extraordinary factors requires further determination.

“We may need a short and moderate hypnotherapy,” Heidi picked up the amethyst pendant in her hand, and said to the girl in front of her in a gentle tone, “Don’t be nervous, just follow my guidance and answer some questions.”
