Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 184

[Chapter 184 The Invasion After Nightfall]

“Did the teacher leave just like that?” Nina came to the first floor, her eyes widened in surprise when she heard the news that Morris had left, and then she complained, “Uncle, why didn’t you stay?” For a moment, such bad weather made the teacher leave…”

“It will be dark any later,” Duncan turned and locked the door, and then he said casually as he walked towards the stairs, “He came by car, and it doesn’t matter if it rains a little Big.”

“But the teacher doesn’t seem to be feeling well,” Nina followed, muttering as she went upstairs, “He should rest for a while…”

Duncan thought for a while, wondering what if the old man If I really rest here for a while, I am afraid that it is not because of physical discomfort. If it is not complete, it will be a big failure of the ten-consecutive will test. Let alone the sun tomorrow, I can’t see the creation of the world tonight… But he can’t help

it After explaining to Nina, I could only perfunctory a few words, and came to the dining table on the second floor.

Nina had prepared a hot meal—beet soup, toast, vegetable wraps, sliced ham.

Obviously more than one person’s weight.

“If you can’t finish eating, save it until tomorrow morning,” Nina murmured, and then looked up at Duncan curiously, “What did you tell the teacher? I didn’t hear clearly on the board just now, but I feel that you two talked very well.” It’s quite lively…”

Duncan looked at Nina quietly, as he had been looking at Nina since just now, seeing how busy this girl was.

As usual, she always smiles, even when she complains, she doesn’t show any real angry expression, she is always busy, it seems that there are always endless things to do, endless energy, and she is always looking forward to tomorrow .

Duncan could only see this kind of Nina. He didn’t have the “eyes that see through reality” like Morris, and he couldn’t see the flames gushing out of Nina’s body.

If he hadn’t heard it with his own ears just now, he would never have imagined that the fragments of the sun that affected the nerves of countless people would actually “sleeping” here quietly, right under his nose.

Sun Fragment… what the hell is it?

Duncan once thought it was a supernatural item with a tangible quality, and later confirmed through various clues that it was a prominence that had been stripped off, but now, he found that this thing was probably sleeping in Nina’s body…

If That thing really came from the “star” he was familiar with, so what kind of changes would a star have to undergo to peel off such a weird piece…”fragment”?

“Uncle Duncan?” Nina noticed the gaze from across the table, and she turned around awkwardly, “Is there something stuck on my face?” “…No, nothing

,” Duncan shook gently Shaking her head, she lowered her head and opened the bread while asking inadvertently, “By the way, is there any discomfort in your body recently? Did that strange dream before… still appear?” “No,” Nina waved her hand

. “Miss Heidi’s hypnosis last time was quite effective. I haven’t had any strange dreams since then, and I’m very energetic every day.” She

paused, and then looked at Duncan with a little worry: “Uncle, what’s the matter with you? I think…you are a bit weird, just after you chatted with Mr. Morris…ah, it could be my last test result…” “No, don’t be

blind Think, your teacher didn’t come to complain.” Duncan raised an eyebrow immediately, “Eat first, eat first.”

Nina responded, and then lowered her head to eat, but at this moment, Duncan seemed to sense What, I looked in a certain direction out of the window with some doubts.

…

In the lower city, in the depths of dilapidated and dim alleys, the hastily lit gas lamps finally dispelled the surrounding darkness before night completely enveloped the streets. Under the dim light brought by the gas lamps, Shirley was lying on the window sill, in a daze Looking out at the dark street outside.

The rattling sound of iron chains rubbing against each other came from behind, followed by Ah Gou’s voice: “Looking outside again? What’s there to see?” “I can’t sleep, it’s so

early and I have nothing to do,” Shirley murmured Mumbling, “It’s so boring…”

“…Why don’t you go out tomorrow and continue to trouble the cultists?”

“…I still feel like I’ll get nothing,” Shirley thought for a while, shaking her head, “I don’t know if those guys from the church really suddenly became more capable. Recently, the cultists in the city-state seem to have been caught, and you can’t even smell their stink…” “The

Sun Cultists who have been active in the city recently are indeed gone, maybe they have really been caught, right? “A Gou came over and lay lazily at Xue Li’s feet, “But I don’t think it’s because you’re bored…”

Xue Li rolled her eyes immediately: “Then what else could it be?” “

… …Did you miss ‘over there’?” A Gou raised his head, and there was a gleam in his empty blood-colored eyes, “I miss that warm house, that bright room, that hot meal, that someone calls you The days when you wake up to urge you to eat, or… think about that subspace entourage named Nina? Or even think about that Deng…” “

NMD shut up! I’m so annoying!” Shirley immediately slammed her hand hard A Gou broke the iron chain roughly, “I’m not a crying little kid, how can I be so weak!”

A Gou didn’t care about Shirley’s rude reaction: “… yearning for light and warmth is not Weakness, this only proves that you are still a human being.”

“Hey…” Shirley suddenly shuddered, and then she looked disgusted, “Why are you so nasty all of a sudden? Are you talking politely? It also proves that I am still a human being.” A human being… are you praising me or are you saying that I haven’t made much progress in all these years?” “

…Don’t think that after merging with me, a deep demon, for eleven years, you will really become a demon, and admit your humanity frankly There’s nothing wrong with it on the one hand,” Agou shook his ugly big head, “What’s more, don’t forget, this chain is not the only thing that connects me to you—any change in your mood, I can still Don’t understand?”

“…Shut up,” Shirley turned her face away, looking outside with some irritability, “You have to keep pushing, I will really take you to Nina to play tomorrow, and then I will accompany you Nina, you accompany Mr. Duncan, we both have a bright future – I can’t scare you!”

Agou finally fell silent.

However, after a moment of silence, Xue Li couldn’t help but kicked the Youshen Hound beside her with her toes, and broke the silence: “Don’t worry about it, aren’t you still with me?” “You are more numb than me.

” Powerful,” Agou moved, and the iron chain rattled, “Don’t talk about it, besides, I’m going to throw up—then there will be a new hole on the floor.

” Shirley could feel that the mood of “Agou”, who almost devoured her and brought her up, suddenly became better.

In the dim twilight and the twilight of the street lamps, the thin girl curled her lips, hiding a little bit of her smile.

This is good, everything is back on track, the familiar days are back, just continue to live—don’t think about the peace and warmth that doesn’t belong to you, especially that peaceful and warm place is occupied by a person from the subspace. shadow.

That warmth was too dangerous.

Shirley exhaled lightly.

However, in the next second, she frowned slightly, as if she felt something malicious was approaching, and felt the hairs on her back stand up slightly.

A Gou also stood up suddenly from the prone position, black smoke and flames suddenly filled the body of this huge deep hound, and the bloody hollow eye sockets were filled with red light, scanning the room vigilantly and hostilely.

The room was dark, in order to save money, Shirley turned off the oil lamp on the table the moment the street light came on, now only the light from the street light coming in from the window illuminates the room, the light is not very bright, and the simple home The furnishings cast eccentric shadows on the floors and walls.

In a simple home, everything is clear at a glance, familiar and intuitive.

However, for some reason, Shirley suddenly felt that the furnishings in the house were a bit strange—in the scattered light and shadow, in the corners of the tables and chairs and the gap at the end of the bed, a strange and inconsistent atmosphere was constantly seeping out!

Xue Li subconsciously tightened the chain in her hand: “A dog!”

“I know,” Agou let out a low growl at the same time, “I’m watching! Something is entering here…surrounding us…f*c*k! What the heck, my eyes are dazzled!” Before the deep hound finished

speaking , Shirley suddenly noticed that the street light shining into the room from the window began to become distorted and dim!

As if a thick black curtain suddenly enveloped the entire house, the street scene that was clearly visible in the field of vision a second ago suddenly became blurred, and the light from the street lamps was cut into fragments, turning into pale shimmering light that fell on the Immediately afterwards, those pale gleams and ubiquitous black shadows squirmed together in the room, and accompanied by a series of disgusting low-pitched murmurs, several figures suddenly emerged from the light and shadow——

They were wearing tattered black robes, and the exposed arms under the robes were as thin as sticks. There were dark books hanging around their waists. The books seemed to be soaked in ink-like dirt, and there were black and suspicious liquids coming out continuously. The book seeped and dripped down, and each of them had an iron emblem that seemed to be surrounded by thorns hanging on their chests. In the center of the emblem, a pale and muddy flame jumped.

The leading man in black raised his finger to Xueli, and a hoarse and vague syllable that humans could not utter came from under the hood of the robe: “You will be defeated…”

Agou’s exclamation finally reached Xueli at this moment. In the ear: “CNM is the ultimate missionary!!!”
