Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 148

[Chapter 148 Appeared in the real world?]

“Uncle Duncan, I’m going to school!”

Amidst the cheerful greeting, Nina ran down the stairs, turned around and waved to the direction of the second floor, and then ran towards the gate.

The rest day is over, and today is the day to go to school again.

But before she reached the door, Nina stopped suddenly, and she saw a figure shaking behind the shelf not far ahead—that figure walked out, and it was Xue Li.

“Ah, Shirley,” Nina stood still happily, beckoning to the girl in front of her, “I said where have you been—do you want to go together?” “Together?” Shirley blinked in confusion

. , “Where are we going together?”

“Go to school, today is…” Nina said subconsciously, but she realized halfway through the sentence, with a slightly embarrassed expression on her face, “Ah, sorry, I forgot…”

Shirley is not her classmate, and she does not attend classes at school. The pleasant experience of getting along on campus was just a play—Nina herself knew this, but it was something that actually happened after all. Sometimes, she still forgets.

The expression on Shirley’s face also became weird for a while, and her eyes showed apology again, but she quickly recovered and shook her head slightly: “I won’t go with you, I was in that school… …’Investigation activities’ have been completed.”

“That’s right,” Nina pursed her lips, and quickly returned to her usual smile, “Sorry, I forgot. Then I’ll go first?”

“Well,” Shirley nodded, but then she seemed to remember something, and added, “By the way, Nina, I…I’m going home today.” “Going home?”

Nina was stunned for a moment. It seems that only two days have passed, and she has taken Shirley as a member of this place for granted, so that she couldn’t react when the other party mentioned the word “go home”, “Are you not here anymore?”

“I have to go home, I’m only staying here temporarily,” Shirley waved her hands, and said what she wanted to say a long time ago, “I told Mr. Duncan, and he agreed.” Nina

momentarily He didn’t make a sound, just a little dazed, and after a few seconds he hesitated to say: “Then… will you come again in the future?” As long as it is possible, I really don’t want to come in the future, and even want to

steal a boat ticket and go to Frost to avoid the wind head.

The thought of running from the heart appeared in Xue Li’s mind for a moment, but then she seemed to feel a line of sight falling on her through the second floor, and she quickly shrank her neck subconsciously: “I … I will come to you when I have a chance, after all, my house is not too far away, ha, ha ha…”

Nina tilted her head, for some reason she always felt that Shirley’s reaction just now was weird, but She didn’t think much about it soon, she was happy again, and she was satisfied with the other party’s promise of “come to me if you have a chance”, so she waved her hand happily, turned around and ran out of the gate like a gust of wind, disappearing outside the antique shop on the street.

Shirley watched Nina running away in a gust of wind in a daze. After a while, she realized that there was a figure standing on the stairs not far away, watching her calmly.

She hurriedly turned around, bowed and greeted with a polite attitude rarely seen in her life: “Dun… Good morning, Mr. Duncan!” “

You are much more polite now, as a girl of your age should be.” look,” Duncan said lightly, and walked down the stairs slowly, “Did you explain it to Nina? Are you going home today?

” , I’m afraid that the boss will go back on what he said if he is unhappy, “You also agreed, I can leave today.” “

Why are you nervous again? It was fine yesterday, and your nervousness can be reset every morning What?” Duncan shook his head dumbfounded, stepped forward and patted Shirley’s slightly thin shoulder, “Relax, I never said I would imprison you in a certain place, I just invited you to do it here It’s only a two-day guest, so you can go back when you want to go—you can come anytime when you want.”

“I…I see,” Shirley nodded again and again, and then felt a little helpless, “Actually… I’m not that nervous. It’s Agou who is always nervous. As long as you get close, it will be nervous instinctively, and then it The nervousness will be transmitted to me.”

“Ah Gou… well, there is no way, its nervousness seems to come from the keen perception of the deep demon,” Duncan shrugged, and then looked at Shirley again, “But don’t you really think about it? You can stay here. The conditions where you and Agou live seem a bit rough, and it’s not safe enough after nightfall. In contrast, this is a very safe place.”

A The shadow of the subspace said that his lair is a safe place. This statement is both reasonable and outrageous. However, Shirley thought for a long time and could not find a point to refute this statement (mainly because she did not have the courage to refute it. ), so in the end, he could only let out a series of smirks: “Ah…ahhaha…that…”

“Forget it, let me just say this, don’t get entangled,” Duncan knew what was going on when he saw the other party’s reaction , He waved his hand, “Leave if you want, anyway, you already know how to establish contact with me now, if you find any new clues about those Sun Cultists, remember to call me at any time.” Shirley nodded silently

.

After two days that seemed like a dream, she finally got the permission to leave here, and got the chance to stay away from this terrifying existence, but when this chance really came up…she suddenly found herself a little bit at a loss.

Chatting and playing with a “friend”, living under the care of an “elder”, a warm bedroom, bright lights, delicious food, and a peaceful life without fear of nightmares or hiding from guards.

Now, she is allowed to leave.

For some reason, Shirley came up with an absurd idea—

a bright world opened the door to her for a short time, and now, the door is about to close.

Obviously, not long ago, this was what she dreamed of—in fact, it is still the same now, she is just… a little entangled.

During the spiritual connection, she suddenly heard Agou muttering in a low voice: “Our life is going to get back on track, Shirley.”

“Yeah, it’s time to get back on track.”

Shirley muttered softly in her head, and then she raised her head, wanting to say goodbye to Mr. Duncan.

But at this moment, the expression on Duncan’s face suddenly changed slightly.

In the dark, he sensed a breath passing by in the distance. This breath…is one of the imprints he left behind!

“Mr. Duncan?” Xue Li noticed the sudden serious expression on the other person’s face, and she was a little nervous, “You…” “I

sensed a breath,” Duncan said softly before Xue Li finished speaking, and he looked up To the distance, “It seems to come from that direction.”

Shirley didn’t respond immediately: “A breath?”

“It’s a small fire I left for that ‘little bug’,” Duncan lowered his head slightly, Staring into Shirley’s eyes, “Do you still remember that weird umbrella man who attacked you at the edge of the dream?”

Shirley was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened: “It’s the piece you put in ‘home’? But… …but that wasn’t in the dream world…”

“Yeah, that’s the attacker who appeared in the dream world,” Duncan’s tone became meaningful, “but now I perceive that imprint in the real world.”

Xue Li stared, and suddenly thought of what Mr. Duncan had said to herself in that nightmare:

Maybe, it wasn’t just a dream.

“Shirley,” Duncan’s voice came suddenly, interrupting the girl’s memory. He lowered his head slightly with a smile on his face, “Before you go home, do you want to check with me again? Of course, if you don’t …”

“Go!” Shirley replied immediately without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, her attitude was so firm that even she was startled, and then, as if to ease the embarrassment, she explained, “Then… That ‘thing’ appeared on the street after the fire, it must have something to do with the fire that year…”

Duncan pressed Shirley’s shoulder: “Then let’s go together.”

“How do we get there?” Shirley took a deep breath, “Can you confirm the exact location of that thing? We still have to take the bus like last time…” Duncan shook his head with a smile: “Now I have

a A more convenient way of transportation.”

Shirley was stunned for a moment, and she was about to ask what kind of convenient way of transportation, when out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw a shadow flying down from the stairs on the second floor, accompanied by a series of A sharp and weird female voice: “Go to Erxian Bridge, walk on Chenghua Avenue… the big seat! There is a big seat behind… melon seeds drink mineral water! Keep your feet on both sides!” The sudden appearance and the

sudden Shirley was startled by the strange sound, and after seeing what it was, her eyes widened suddenly: it was that weird pigeon! The pigeon that can eat French fries almost the same size as itself in a meal!

In the next second, under Shirley’s stunned gaze, Ai has already circled in the air quickly, and green flames soared up from him, and the white dove that was just a naive one second before turned into a white dove in the blink of an eye. Terrifying spirit bone pigeon.

Shirley: “…?!”

She turned her head stiffly, as if she wanted to confirm something with Duncan, but before she could open her mouth, she felt a blur in front of her eyes…

Ai Yi kept pushing “Big seat, In “There’s a Big Seat Behind”, a vortex like a flame door flashes past, and in the next second, a swift white pigeon rushes out of the antique shop and flies straight into the distance.
