Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 374

[Chapter 372 Abnormal Aura]

Coming to the street, the cold wind swept through the open space between the buildings, blowing head-on on the face, making Agatha completely awake.

However, in her mind, there are still a series of questions that almost shake her three views and reshape her cognition-“Don’t

you Frost give bonuses to enthusiastic citizens who actively report clues of cults?

“You never used a bank account? Does your church usually not touch the lives of ordinary people?

“Didn’t you see that it was a bank account?”

Agatha never thought in her life that her biggest gaffe when dealing with extraordinary beings would be in this situation.

And she is quite convinced that Bishop Ivan of the cathedral and the group of cryptographers and fortune tellers who are still gathering in the church to study the “secret numbers” will not be much different from her own reaction.

The sound of footsteps came from the side, and several subordinates who had been staying in the shelter near the building came out. One of the guards in black noticed the trance in Agatha’s expression, and was suddenly worried: “Are you okay? ? In that house…”

Agatha raised her hand and interrupted her subordinates. She glanced back, then walked slowly towards the steam car not far away with her cane in hand, and at the same time said slowly: ” Don’t disturb the residents in this house, notify the church in this area, and keep the guards away from here—the Great Cathedral of Silence will directly take over the communication work with this place.” “Yes, gatekeeper,” the black-clothed

guard immediately Bowing her head to accept the order, she couldn’t help asking, “Do you…need to take a break?”

Agatha paused and sighed: “Oh…if I can, I will find the nearest church to seek psychological advice. Counseling, or consult a famous psychiatrist…”

The subordinate was stunned: “Huh?”

“Don’t worry, I don’t need to rest,” Agatha waved her hand, “Go back to the cathedral, we need to start the underground investigation of the city-state as soon as possible. The search worked.”

…

“The people from the church have left,” Morris stood by the window, watching the movement on the street outside, and after seeing the gray-blue steam car driving out of the intersection, he turned his head to look at Duncan, “I thought They must leave at least a few ‘eyes’.”

“The gatekeeper’s position in the Church of Death is equivalent to the judge of the Church of the Deep Sea, and she must fulfill her promise—since she said she would not disturb, then naturally there will be nothing Little tricks,” Fanna said from the side, “what’s more, she knows that those ‘little tricks’ are meaningless.”

Duncan raised his eyelids and glanced at Fanna: “I thought you would talk to the gatekeeper for a while, After all, you are considered colleagues.”

“…I really can’t think of anything to communicate with,” Fan Na shook her head, “My identity is a bit embarrassing, whether as a deep sea judge or a member of the Lost Home, Establishing communication with the Church of Frost at a time like this is only troublesome.”

Duncan hummed and didn’t say much, but Nina next to him suddenly broke the silence curiously: “The sister of the ‘gatekeeper’ seemed a little excited before leaving. , seems to have some plan… What is the search plan she is talking about? Uncle, do you have an idea?”

Fanna and Morris’ eyes fell on Duncan at the same time, and the latter nodded slightly after a short pause .

Although he was stunned at the beginning, he also realized what was going on at this time——Agatha’s reaction showed one thing. Force seems to have turned to the dark underworld.

Second Waterway.

In the past, limited by the high cost and difficulties in actual implementation, the Frost authorities have always allowed the second waterway left by the Queen’s era to lie dormant in the deep underground of the city-state, at most doing some symbolic work in the upper area connecting the waterway Purification and sealing work, but now it seems… They finally can’t care about the cost issue.

Duncan raised his head and said to Fan Na: “Go to Nemo’s tavern again in the afternoon, and remind him that the church may launch an action against the Second Waterway in the near future, and let him and his ‘colleagues’ pay attention. “

The scale of the second waterway is huge, but what Nemo and his “colleagues” control is actually only a small part of the entire sewer system. This small part is very concealed and has been consciously hidden and blocked. It will not be noticed by the authorities and the church, but no one knows how determined the church is this time, so it is better to remind.

“In addition, the matter of Dagger Island is also very interesting.” After a little thought, Duncan said, “The disappearance of that island is obviously unreasonable. Take a look at the various news in the city, especially the urban area near the eastern port, to see if there are any unusual rumors.”

Morris nodded: “Understood.”

“I will also remind Tyrian to pay attention to that area. Changes in the sea area…”

Duncan rubbed his chin, muttered to himself thoughtfully, and at the same time wondered if he had missed anything, but at this moment, he suddenly saw Shirley approaching from the side .

Creeping, appearing furtive.

“What’s wrong?” Duncan asked casually upon seeing this.

“It’s not me, it’s Agou,” Shirley quickly waved her hand, and then raised her arm—a dark chain emerged from the air, and Agou, who had been hiding in a hurry because of the appearance of the gatekeeper, appeared in front of Duncan, “Ah The dog said that there is something to report to you…”

“The situation?” Duncan frowned, looking at the shy Hound, “What’s the situation?”

Agou shook his ugly head, and carefully looked up at the door Then he spoke: “I don’t know if I felt wrong, the ‘gatekeeper’ named Agatha just now… I always feel that she has a familiar aura…” There was a moment of silence around Duncan, and

Duncan His eyes immediately became serious: “Familiar breath? What are you referring to? A secluded demon?”

“No, it’s not a deep demon,” Agou immediately shook his head, “I can’t explain clearly, you know, my memory of getting the ‘heart’ is actually a bit vague, but that breath… reminds me a little The Lord Youshen, um, the atmosphere you feel when you are beside the Lord Youshen.”

As soon as Ah Gou said this, everyone looked at each other, and Duncan immediately said with a serious expression: “Why didn’t you just say that?”

“I I didn’t dare to show up just now!” Ah Gou shrank his neck, “That’s a gatekeeper—of course, she’s definitely not your opponent, but now Frost is hunting down the Annihilation Cultist and the ghost demon in the whole city, I’m afraid that if I show up I can’t explain it clearly, and it will delay your business in the end…”

Agou’s explanation made some sense, and Duncan didn’t go into it, but the situation it reported was obviously beyond everyone’s expectations.

Frost’s gatekeeper, Agatha…why does she have the aura of the Profound Lord on her body? !

“Could it be…that gatekeeper has fallen? Or has she been polluted?” Morris looked serious, “But her behavior is normal, and her speech and behavior are fine…” “Maybe she doesn’t even know?

” Shirley interjected cautiously, “Isn’t it said that cognitive pollution is the hardest to detect, especially the person involved?”

Duncan didn’t speak, but just looked up at Fanna.

“It doesn’t look like it has been corrupted or polluted, and it’s obviously not a ‘fake’.” Fanna frowned, and slowly said while recalling the details of Agatha just now, “And I didn’t feel it at all. She has an abnormal aura—Agou, are you sure you feel right?” “

I just said, I’m not sure if I feel wrong,” Agou said, with a particularly guilty tone. “It’s just a very faint smell, which reminds me of the deep sea… Maybe it’s not from her. By the way, didn’t she say that she caught some Annihilation Cultists recently? Although they are not important people , but dealing with them every day recently, it’s normal to have some aura from the deep sea on your body…”

Duncan still frowned.

A Gou’s explanation sounds reasonable, but he always feels that things should not be so simple – would a professional priestess, the “gatekeeper” of the city-state, forget to perform self-purification after completing the interrogation of the cultists? Will you let yourself walk around outside with the breath of a cultist?   Fan Na took a step forward: “Should we bring that ‘gatekeeper’ back and ask about the situation? Or should

we take the initiative to find her?”

Contact, any positive contact may scare the snake.” Duncan shook his head, and at the same time looked up in the direction where Agatha left just now, “I will pay attention to this matter secretly, and you don’t want to contact her.”

Secretly focus on?

Fan Na was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask Duncan what kind of attention method the “secret attention” was, but she seemed to suddenly remember something—some memories surfaced in her heart, and she immediately knew what was going on.

“You… have already left a mark on her?”

“She has seen me.”

Duncan nodded lightly, and in his other vision, at a distance from here, A cluster of small green flames is dancing gently.

That was the direction Agatha had gone.
