Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 587

[Chapter 585 Preparations before nightfall]

It was obvious that Morris had already burned with a burning passion to explore the truth. In the eyes of this old gentleman, those cultists who were feared by ordinary people may have turned into a walking pile. papers and information.

“Then the only problem is how to get those Annihilation cultists who have entered the Dream of the Nameless One out of the real world.” Vanna looked at the energetic old man beside her and quietly moved a little to the side, “I will do it tomorrow. Contact the church to see if we can strengthen the monitoring and hunting of Annihilation cultists in various city-states – they have to frequently enter the Dream of the Unknown, and have unified command and intelligence exchange, so they will definitely be more active than usual.” Morris also nodded

. Head: “I will also remind the academy…although they probably don’t need to remind them.”

They discussed the plan to find out those cultists in the real world, and at this moment, Luke, who had been quietly thinking about the problem, Lecia suddenly raised her head and looked at Shirley and Agou: “If it were in the Dream of the Nameless One, can you still find the cultist from last time?” “Then it also depends on whether he happens to

be nearby. And whether the other party has the courage to enter the dream of the Nameless One again,” Agou shook his head, “Also, last time Shirley and I severely injured the Annihilation Cult. Although this could not harm his body in the real world, in a short time He won’t be able to recover mentally.”

Lucretia listened and nodded thoughtfully, not knowing what she was thinking.

Outside the window, the sun has gradually sunk behind the buildings on the edge of the block, and the remaining crimson glow is spreading along the rows of rooftops. There is also golden “sunlight” spreading from the distant sea, mixed with the gradually dimming sunset. middle.

Nina suddenly raised her head, looked at the darkening sky outside the window, and whispered: “It’s getting dark again…”

Her soft words interrupted Duncan’s thinking, and the latter got up from the sofa and walked around. He walked to the window and quietly stared at the street outside the window.

The “Knowledge Guards” of the Academy of Truth are already preparing for the handover work when day and night alternate. In front of the security post on the corner of the street, a group of guards are talking with the security guard.

The number of defenders today is twice as large as in the past, and among them are higher-ranking priests with significantly better equipment. They may be elite forces drawn from the central university of the city-state.

A propaganda truck drove past the road, urging citizens to end outdoor activities as soon as possible and return home before the gas lights came on. Tonight’s curfew will start one hour earlier – the radio repeatedly reminded citizens that if there is no time to rush home, They should go to the nearest Guardian Post for help immediately, and the Academy will arrange personnel and vehicles to escort them home as soon as possible.

Further down the block, the towering spire bell tower is bathed in the alternating sunlight and sunset. The golden-red brilliance seems to have covered the bell tower with a crystal-like coating. The huge steam pipes extending from the two wings of the bell tower are emitting traces of smoke. Wisps of white mist are warming up for ringing the “twilight bell”.

The city-state authorities and the academy did not declare any emergency – but to the eyes of those who knew everything, the change in the atmosphere could already be discerned in many details.

“They are preparing for tonight,” Vanna also came over and whispered beside Duncan, “Although there is no evidence that the Dream of the Nameless One will appear again tonight…” “I don’t know that they

all What kind of preparations have been made, and I don’t know whether their preparations can really be effective.” Duncan shook his head slightly, “So far we still know nothing about the operating mechanism of that ‘dream’, we only know that it may have something to do with it. It’s related to certain ‘characteristics’ of the entire elves’ group, and we can’t help them in this regard.”

“We all have many problems to solve ourselves,” Vanna said in a serious tone, “If the Dream of the Nameless One appears again , we still don’t know what will happen – we may be scattered and involved in dreams again, we may appear in a different place than before, we may encounter enemies, or we may directly enter those called “erosion zones” Danger zone.”

Duncan said nothing, he slowly turned around and glanced across the living room.

Others had gathered together, and many eyes were falling on him.

After a brief pondering, Duncan stretched out his hand forward and opened his palm upwards –

green flames surged around him, turning his body into an illusory spirit body cast by flames, and his eyes focused on In the palm of his hand, the spiritual fire gathered there and gradually turned into a cluster of the brightest and most active flames.

Duncan held up this weightless flame, and with a slight crackling sound, his voice reached everyone’s ears: “Come here, touch this flame.” Everyone in the living room reacted in different ways

– The biggest thing is the inevitable surprise and hesitation.

Of course they are no strangers to the captain’s flame, and in fact, they have been exposed to this spiritual fire more than once and to varying degrees, but “instinct” is an irresistible and weird and wonderful thing. The extraordinarily lively and bright flames were somewhat different from the “mild” flames they usually saw on the Lost Home. It was these differences that made them subconsciously nervous.

But Nina was the first to come over, with even a little expectant expression on her face – she raised her head and looked at her “Uncle Duncan” with the same bright smile on her face as usual.

Then she stretched out her hand and lightly touched the flames in Duncan’s palm with her index finger.

Wisps of flames wrapped around her fingertips like water, and then disappeared quietly.

“It’s hot,” Nina laughed and turned to wave to Shirley, “It’s your turn!” “

I know, I know…” Shirley muttered, taking two steps forward with a little hesitation, extending her hand and mumbling He muttered, “The captain won’t hurt me anyway…”

Duncan nodded to Shirley with a gentle expression, and then reminded: “Agou needs it too.”

Agou, who was about to turn around and walk away, suddenly became excited. He raised his head and looked at the flames. His blood-red eyes seemed to be filled with materialized fear: “I…I don’t need to…” “I need it

. “Duncan looked at the profound demon seriously, “Don’t worry, this is just a harmless temporary mark. As long as there is no order from me, this flame will not cause any harm to you.” Agou was obviously still a little confused: “

I …”

Duncan didn’t wait for it to finish. He turned over his hand and pressed it on Agou’s head, rubbing hard on the rugged and hard skull.

The green flame was initiated at the head, flickering and flowing through the skeletal body of the Deep Hound.

Agou’s whole body trembled for a moment, and he only had time to exclaim: “Oh, f*c*k…”

Duncan ignored this guy and raised his head to look at the others.

Vanna and Morris also came over. They each recited the prayers of the gods they believed in, and then touched the flame in the captain’s hand with serious expressions.

Now, there is only one person left at the scene.

“Lucy,” Duncan looked calmly at the “Sea Witch” not far away, “Don’t worry, this is just a special ‘mark’ – if the dream of the Nameless One appears again, the power in the mark may be able to help It’s your business.”

“I know,” Lucretia said softly, with a complicated look in her eyes. She raised her head and looked at her father’s spiritual body standing in the flames, as well as the bright and beating clusters. After a few seconds, she finally stepped forward and slowly extended her hand to Duncan, “…Is this the power of subspace?”

Duncan looked at her calmly: “This is my power. “

Lucrecia took a gentle breath, and then stepped forward to touch the flame.

There was no pain, no burning, no expected erosion or negative mental disturbance – she only felt a peaceful heat, with warmth and reassuring comfort.

The green firelight flashed in Lucretia’s eyes.

Then the “Sea Witch” turned around, quickly came to the corner of the room, picked up the huge rabbit doll and returned to Duncan.

The rabbit doll, which had been pretending to be dead for a long time, finally made some movement. It twisted vigorously in Lucretia’s hands, and the little girl’s horrified voice came from the cotton-filled body: “Mistress, what are you going to do! Rabbi It’s just a rabbit! The rabbi is just…”

“Quiet,” Lucretia pinched the back of the rabbit doll hard, making the scary and weird rag doll quiet instantly, and then stretched it forward, “Dad , give the rabbi a mark.”

Duncan didn’t react at first. When he saw Lucretia bringing the doll rabbit over, he was curious about the reason why the other party did this. At this time, he vaguely thought of something. : “Is this… you want to bring this doll into the dream of the Nameless One?”

“Rabbi can move in the dream – it can dream,” Lucretia said, “I want to give it a try and be the Nameless One. When the dream expands, will it also be involved in the dream? The Brilliant Star stayed in the port before, and Rabi said that it was completely unaware of anything unusual in the city. That may be because the port is too far away from the central area where the dream broke out. Or the Rabbi is too little affected by your power.” The

rabbit doll struggled again and made a small voice: “If I had known, the Rabbi would not have come…”

Lucretia raised her hand and pressed the rabbit’s face on it. In Duncan’s hands.

Duncan: “…”

He suddenly felt as if he had turned into a buffed stake… This seemed to be different from what he had originally planned?

But no matter what, he successfully completed the preparations before entering the dream. Next… he just had to wait to see if the dream of the Nameless Man would really happen again tonight, and to verify many of his conjectures and plans in the dream.

At this moment, footsteps came from the direction of the living room door, and Alice and Luni appeared in Duncan’s sight pushing the dining cart.

“It’s dinner time!” Alice said happily, as if she didn’t notice the atmosphere in the living room at all. “Want to eat in the restaurant, or just in the living room?” (End of Chapter
