Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 338

[Chapter 336]

The battle in the alley was intense but short. From the time the two cultists’ whereabouts were revealed to the end of the battle, a total of a few minutes had passed, but Fan Na believed that the commotion in these few minutes was enough to scare her away. The night guards were attracted.

Of course, she is not afraid of Frost’s guards, no matter in terms of standpoint or strength—it’s just that at this time, she has no plans to make extra troubles.

And just when she was thinking about how to signal Duncan who entered the building, the dark door just opened.

The figures of Duncan and Morris appeared in the lights.

In the next second, Duncan quickly walked towards the alley where Fanna and Alice were. God prays to exercise some kind of supernatural power.

“I noticed the movement outside,” Duncan came to Fanna and the two, looked up at the situation in the alley, and asked quickly with a slight frown, “What happened?

” Pay attention to this place—Alice noticed their tracks, and we fought briefly,” Fanna replied immediately, “Both heretics are dead, and no one has escaped, but the movement of the battle may have attracted the attention of the guards, They will be there soon.”

“Did Alice notice it?” Duncan first glanced at the puppet lady next to him in surprise, and then noticed the weirdness in Fanna’s expression, realizing that the situation just now might be far worse than imagined It’s complicated, but he didn’t ask, just nodded quickly, “Stop talking so much, prepare to transfer.” “

I’ve already eliminated the traces we left,” at this moment Morris also finished the aftermath and came over, “Galone After waking up, she will forget the experience of the last 24 hours, even if a skilled psychiatrist searches her memory, she probably won’t be able to recover too many things.” “Well, very good.

“

Duncan nodded lightly. In fact, he didn’t really care about hiding his whereabouts, but it’s not bad to have fewer people to bother him in the early stage of the operation.

Then, he raised his hand and waved in the darkness.

The sound of flapping wings broke the tranquility of the night, and the white pigeons staying on the roof of a nearby building leaped swiftly. The next second, the dark green flames flashed in the alley, leaving only the sound of flapping wings in the alley. Fading away in the night.

Calm was restored in the streets and alleys—a few minutes later, a series of hurried footsteps and the flickering lights of lanterns appeared on the street in the distance.

…

Ay didn’t leave very far—in fact, he just flew a block away and found a foothold near an old factory.

It is an uninhabited tin hut.

The tin hut is next to the old factory, and there is a hole in the window of the house. Ai sneaked into the house through the hole. With the sudden rise of the flame of the spirit body, the figures of Duncan and his party appeared in the hut .

Fan Na looked around for the first time, and saw thick dust in the old hut, a wooden bed and simple tables and chairs in the corner, and some sundries piled up on the other side of the room, the cold wind howling outside, and the nearby windows The hole in the top made a strange whimpering sound in the wind.

“It is for the maintenance personnel of the pump room to take a temporary rest. Usually, no one will come to live outside the maintenance period – although I don’t know when the maintenance period is here, but at least today it is a place where we can temporarily rest,” Fan said. While talking, Na came to the window and glanced outside through the dirty glass. The old factory not far away stood silently in the night. She could clearly see the lights of the factory area and hear the sound of the machines running in the factory. The voice said, “The factory is still in operation. There must be priests in this round-the-clock factory. If there is an extraordinary battle in the nearby blocks, the alert level of this factory will also be raised.” “It’s not a big problem, just don’t turn on the lights.

” , Anyway, they can’t perceive the breath here,” Duncan said casually, “We’ll wait here until dawn before we act—is it okay?”

While speaking, he looked at the three people in sight.

Alice is a cursed puppet, Fanna is a beautiful girl and strong man, even the weakest old Mr. Morris is an extraordinary person who has a lot of magical powers. In terms of strength, there is no need to worry about them, but the North The cold winter night in the city-state may not be so friendly to the elderly gentleman.

“Don’t worry,” Morris obviously noticed Duncan’s gaze, he showed a slight smile, and raised his hand to outline the sacred rune bestowed by the God of Wisdom Rahmu on his chest, “Until the first two years, I often explored those The ancient ruins and cursed ruins are located on the edge of the dangerous sea, and the environment there is far more difficult than here-academic research has never been an easy job, especially when dealing with history.” Duncan thought for a while and felt

old Sir is right.

Historians and folklorists in this world are indeed quite hard-core professions—even the “household scholars” who stay at home must have a few tricks, after all, they will talk to the people they are studying every now and then. When things are fighting, those cursed scrolls and bewitched relics will not just lie in the display room.

What’s more, a scholar with all-round development like Morris – I’m afraid he has ordered free fighting and wild survival before studying history… “

We can actually contact the informants placed in this city by Captain Tirian ” Fan Na said from the side, “They should be able to help arrange accommodation and provide information…” “

I will contact them, but not now,” Duncan waved his hand, and then his expression was slightly serious, “Starting from today , when Frost comes into contact with anyone, you must carefully screen them, including those ‘informants’ mentioned by Tirian.”

Fan Na was startled, and then realized something: “You confirmed that ‘Brown S. Kurt’…”

“It’s a replica of the deep sea, and it has disintegrated itself. We were a step too late and only found a few clues left by him,” Duncan said, shaking his head, “But this is the basic information before. In addition to what we saw, we also met a female apprentice in that house who was in a state of cognitive and memory confusion-she was an ordinary person.”

Fan Na’s expression immediately became serious.

“That’s Brown’s student, named Galone—in her memory and cognition, she has completely deleted the relevant part of her mentor’s death in the shipwreck,” Morris on the side said, “And according to me and the captain According to my judgment, this situation… may not be an exception in the entire Frost.” “

Since more than half a month ago, Tirian has been receiving weird and contradictory information, and the intelligence sometimes mentions that Frost has appeared’ The phenomenon of the return of the dead is sometimes said to be rumors. The so-called dead are actually normal residents of Frost from the beginning. Sometimes, this completely contradictory information is even sent from the same informant. “Duncan took Morris’s words and continued, “At first, Tirian thought it was the Frost authorities controlling the news, and the church was taking action to weaken the influence of the strange events on the residents, but now it seems… this It is most likely caused by cognitive confusion.”

“Captain Tirian’s informants are all over Frost… What do you mean, this is cognitive and memory pollution covering the entire city-state?!” Fanna realized the seriousness of the matter Sex, “Then in this city-state now…”

“No one can tell how many are replicas and how many are authentic, and this is the second. After all, replicas should not be able to escape my eyes. We met soon The most troublesome ones are those ordinary people who are no longer normal…” Duncan said, paused, and shook his head after thinking for a while, “In short, the informants Tirian left in this city have already It is not so reliable anymore, some of them may have been replaced, some of them may have been distorted, and some may even be the eyes of the Annihilation Cultists… Be cautious when contacting them.” Fan Na nodded

solemnly— — But in her eyes, there is a happy look emerging little by little.

In the cold and mysterious northern city-state, the residents of the city-state are constantly being replaced, and the eyeliner they once planted is no longer reliable, while those seemingly normal and harmless ordinary citizens are gradually producing memory and cognitive pollution. A city with pollution creeping beneath the surface—

and that’s fine, because it’s all back to her area of expertise.

Eradicate heresy and purify pollution.

She began to understand Pope Helena’s intention of sending herself aboard the Lost Country.

Already possessing the vision of Tranquil Night – Prand doesn’t need her as a judge now, but as long as she follows the Lost Country, she will always have a stage to show her strengths.

Duncan gave Fan Na a strange look.

“Is it my illusion? How do you feel that your mood suddenly improved?” “

Ah, I just thought that I can continue to eradicate heresy, and I feel a little happy.”

Duncan opened his mouth, and for a while he didn’t know how to evaluate this Young Inquisitor, but he soon turned his attention to another matter.

He looked at the doll standing beside him, distracted.

“I’ve finished talking about the progress with Morris, and it’s time to talk about your situation.”
