Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 190

[Chapter 190 Alice Test]

After this, Duncan never heard any valuable information from these final missionaries.

They just sat on the deck in silence, breathing the sea breeze of the boundless sea as if they were enjoying every second as much as possible, and either responded to Duncan’s question with empty and indifferent stares, or returned crazy and deranged laughs.

But the last words they said before have been deeply etched in Duncan’s mind.

These lunatics who follow the subspace, are delusional, and whose San value may already be negative… It seems that through their frenzied beliefs, they have obtained knowledge that should never appear in theory, and learned the truth that has never been leaked in theory.

They “see” that there is an abnormal “humanity” in “Captain Duncan”, and this “humanity” is still “picked up”-what is the meaning behind this sentence? Could it be that they can recognize that the soul in their body is no longer the original owner! ?

And these cultists mentioned just now that they are not hiding in the city-state… but in the cursed history? What does this mean? Could it be that these crazy final missionaries are usually not in the normal time and space at all, so they can avoid the surveillance of the city-state defenders when they behave so weirdly?

Duncan silently watched the final missionaries who were showing strange smiles, his thoughts fluctuated. He was also paying attention to the situation of the whole ship, sensing whether there was any change on the Lost Home.

Goat’s head was still obediently steering the captain’s cabin, and he didn’t seem to pay attention to the movement on the deck.

All parts of the Lost Home were operating as usual, and the words of the preacher had no effect on the ship in the end.

Alice was sitting on a large wooden barrel not far away with her head in her arms, arranging her hair in a bit of boredom—Miss Doll’s mind could no longer keep up with the topic between the captain and the cultist, and she ran away early .

After an unknown amount of time, Duncan finally exhaled softly.

He seems to have been wasting time with these cultists for a long time, and even a little affected by their crazy words.

I have already obtained a lot of useful information from these people, and it seems that there will be no more gains in the future, so there is no need to continue to waste feelings with lunatics.

And just as the expression on Duncan’s face changed, a final missionary suddenly raised his head, his chaotic eyes reflected the empty and unreal sails of the Lost Homeland, and muttered as if in a dream: “Get off the ship Is it time?”

“There’s no room for you on this ship,” Duncan looked at each other expressionlessly, “but you can still be of use before throwing you overboard.” The three finally said nothing

. The missionaries all raised their heads, grinned slowly, and smiled strangely.

Despite the ecstasy they showed when they first boarded the ship, and even kissed the deck fiercely, there was no loss or fear in hearing Duncan’s words at this moment.

Originally, Duncan thought that they would at least fight for a while, would find a way to forcibly stay on this ship, and even find a way to use this ship to go to their long-cherished “Promised Land” subspace, but there was nothing—only a strange Numbness filled the eyes of these people.

It was as if at an unknown moment, most of their personalities and memories suddenly left these bodies, and it seemed that they suddenly heard some “inspiration” in the dark, and then accepted their fate calmly.

Duncan frowned, and didn’t delve into what these crazy cultists were thinking, but turned to look at the Gothic doll who was in a daze not far away: “Alice, come here.” The doll immediately

responded , skillfully held up his head and stuck it on his neck, jumped off the barrel and ran to Duncan: “Captain, did you call me?” “

…can you stop pulling out your own head in the future? After you get down, your intelligence will drop.” Duncan frowned and muttered a few words, then shook his head and pointed at the three cultists, “I’m going to let you do some tests.” “Test?” Alice was

stunned For a moment, “What test?”

“See if your uncontrolled ‘guillotine’ ability is still there,” Duncan raised his eyebrows, “Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about it.” “Forget it!”

Alice nodded confidently , “I just remembered when you reminded me!”

Then she didn’t care about Duncan’s subtle expression in an instant, she turned her head to look at the “final missionaries” and greeted them: “Hello, I just forgot Let me introduce myself, my name is Alice, and I’m…the chef on the ship?”

“You should tell them about your other identity,” Duncan said indifferently, he was talking to Alice, but his eyes fell on several cultists, “Anomaly 099.”

The eyes of the three final missionaries finally changed. One of them couldn’t help but glance at Alice, and his expression suddenly became more serious.

“I thought you guys were really numb to the point of not being afraid of life and death,” Duncan noticed these changes, but he still looked calm, “Then I hope you madmen who are not even afraid of the subspace will like the next arrangement—I want you The thing to do is very simple, stay near Alice, and then survive, or beheaded to death.”

Alice listened by the side, and suddenly leaned over and muttered: “Captain, you really look like a villain when you say that. …”

Duncan glanced at the puppet in astonishment: “…Which side are you from?”

“Death means nothing to us…” While Duncan was muttering to Alice, one of them died. The preacher finally spoke. He took a look at Alice, and took a step forward instead, with a trace of mockery in his expression, “It’s just one more pause in this long journey—you who rejected the gift of the subspace Stupid people, obsessed with the confusion of the real world, will never know the truth beyond life and death…”

Duncan hurriedly tugged at Alice’s arm: “Did you hear, this is the villain…”

Alice Si nodded: “Oh.”

Then Duncan ignored the reactions of the final missionaries. He looked up at the night sky hanging high above the World Creation, and suddenly asked, “How long have these people been on board?”

“Several hours?” Alice thought for a while, “My sense of time is quite accurate!” “

Several hours… That is to say, at least one round must have passed for the test and effective time of the guillotine.” ” Duncan was thoughtful, his eyes fell on the puppet in front of him, and he recalled the description related to the characteristics of anomaly 099 in his mind, “but it’s not safe… we’ll wait, and then do the next one First round of testing.”

“The next round of testing?” Alice blinked in confusion, “How to test?” “It is

now roughly certain that your guillotine ability has not taken effect, but it is not yet certain whether this is caused by the Lost Homelander. Or my influence,” Duncan said as he glanced at the final missionaries, as if to make sure that the heads of these cultists were still in place, “in a few hours, confirm your ability check and take effect After at least one round of the cycle, I want you and these ‘preachers’ to leave the Lost Home temporarily.”

Listening to this, Alice was taken aback suddenly: “Leave the Lost Home temporarily? Then where are you going?”

She looked up At the beginning, looking out of the side of the ship, there is only a boundless sea in sight. At this moment, the wind and waves are calm, and the entire sea surface is soaked in the pale glow of the creation of the world, which even gives people the illusion of a boundless snowfield , and in this boundless sea… there is no place to stay.

Duncan thought for a moment.

Now he has found the “material” for Alice’s test, but in order to ensure the rigor of the test process, he also needs a “proving ground” that can eliminate his own interference. First of all, this proving ground cannot be placed on densely populated land. And it must be outside the Homeless, so there seems to be no choice.

“There are several rescue boats, all of which are in good condition. I will put one down and temporarily cut off the connection between it and the Lost Home,” Duncan looked into Alice’s eyes, “you will be floating on the sea for a while– I’ll let the big ship wait nearby, and I won’t leave you behind.”

The puppet girl immediately shrank her neck when she heard the captain’s plan: “And…you’re going to float on the sea again?! I have a psychological shadow. And the sight of the sea is so poor at night, what if you lose me, what if a gust of wind and waves rolls the boat away, what if the boat capsizes…”

Duncan interrupted her without waiting for the embarrassing puppet to finish speaking: “Stop, stop, there are so many contingencies, I just let Ai circle over you and watch you – then again, you are still afraid of yourself Can’t get back to the boat? When I gave you a coffin board, you could ride the wind and waves to come back, but eight cannonballs can’t hold you down, but this time you still have two serious oars!”

Alice’s nagging was suppressed immediately, but After holding back for a short while, she glanced worriedly at the sea not far away, and at the chaotic and frantic subspace believers who were neither human nor ghost, and grabbed Duncan’s sleeve vigorously: ” The captain has agreed, don’t lose me later!”

Duncan: “…”

Why does he feel that this doll is becoming more and more useless on the ship—she is not as good as she was when she was riding the wind and waves on the boundless sea. For a while, at least there was a sense of stupidity at that time…
