Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 62

[Chapter 62 Unstable Navigation]

Duncan took Alice back to the upper deck of the Lost Country—the cold World Creation still hung high in the night.

Duncan thought he had explored inside the ship for a long time, and even suspected that the night had passed, but now, looking at the deep night, it seemed that he had only stayed below for a few hours.

But just the strange and unusual situation he saw in the past few hours was enough to impress him.

He still remembers the cabin where the light and shadow are reversed, and the door at the bottom of the cabin… especially that door, what is behind that door?

The lantern in Duncan’s hand has been extinguished, and he and the puppet walked slowly towards the captain’s cabin, neither of them said much—the puppet seemed to have started to rehearse cooking in its head, while Duncan’s attention fell on surrounding deck buildings.

He compared his memory and confirmed that the dark and dilapidated cabin opposite the door was indeed a part of the Lost Country. The styles of the two were exactly the same, and there was a vague continuity in the architectural structure.

And recalling it now, he always felt that there seemed to be something else in the deepest part of that dilapidated cabin, hidden in the darkness.

That was the unknown “hidden snow area” of the Lost Homeland—a hidden snow area that even Captain Duncan couldn’t perceive or detect.

Does Goat Head know that door? Does it know what’s behind that?

Should I ask it myself?

The captain’s cabin arrived, but Duncan’s thoughts were still fluctuating. He took Alice to open the door and went in. He saw the goat’s head was still quietly sitting on the nautical table, and his empty and dark eyes were turning to the direction of the door following the sound.

Duncan turned around to hang up the lantern, and then heard Alice greet Goat Head with a little excitement behind him: “Mr. Goat Head! I went to the bilge with the captain! The bottom of this ship is amazing! The bottom The cabin is torn apart—and has a very strange door!”

Duncan immediately stopped worrying about how to start a related topic with Goat Head—he almost forgot that he was carrying a puppet that was full of curiosity and didn’t know anything. Didn’t Alice crack open the scene? ?

He tried his best not to let himself laugh out loud, while pretending to pack his things calmly while listening to the conversation of the two “crew members”, he heard the voice of the goat’s head, with an unsurprising tone : “I knew you would be surprised! Miss Alice, now you realize what a great ship the Lost Home is? It can sail in different dimensions at the same time while ensuring safety!” Duncan

listened Suddenly, my heart moved.

The situation was exactly as I had guessed. The reason why there was such a weird scene outside the crack in the bottom of the ship… It really was because it no longer belonged to the time and space where the Boundless Sea was located!

At the same time, he was also thinking quickly: Alice, who is very curious, is full of interest in the strange sights on the lower deck of the Lost Country. She seems afraid to ask too many things to herself, the “captain”, so that she would rather talk to the goat. Goat Head asked, but if I stood here and listened all the time, I would look weird and suspicious, and might even make Goat Head turn the topic to myself—in case it said “Ask the captain” to Alice, I couldn’t handle it… …

Thinking of this, he immediately made a plan, straightened the expression on his face, and after returning to his usual seriousness, he said calmly: “Let’s talk here, I’m going for a walk outside—Goat’s head, Alice has already She is a member of the ship, as long as it is not too secretive about this ship, you can just tell her.”

Alice smiled happily when she heard this, and the goat head immediately agreed: “Of course, Captain , Your loyal omission has always been a warm welcome to new members…”

Duncan pushed the door and left the captain’s room.

But the second he left the captain’s room, he concentrated again, and paid close attention to the movements in the captain’s room with the help of his close connection with the Lost Home.

After concentrating on one place, the vague perception turned into a clear real-time monitoring. Everything in the captain’s room was clearly reflected in Duncan’s mind. He “saw” that Alice simply moved a stool Sitting opposite the goat’s head, he talked about his experience of exploring the lower deck of the Lost Country with excitement, and told about the bizarre scenes in the cabin.

She seemed to have completely forgotten about making the captain’s supper–but Duncan didn’t mind at all.

He appreciates the puppet’s divine assists at critical moments.

Under the night, Ai suddenly flapped his wings and flew to the nearby mast, as if he was about to stand on guard. Duncan walked forward slowly like a normal patrol deck, and in his mind, he was clearly passing Come to the conversation in the captain’s room.

Alice had already talked about the weird door with the goat head, and Miss Doll’s tone was nervous: “…that door looks a bit scary, and the captain won’t let me get close…” “

You Of course you can’t get close, let alone you, even I can’t touch that door—don’t show such eyes, I know I don’t have hands and feet, and the “touch” I said is another meaning…to touch, to control, Understand, peep, do you understand? That door is untouchable in this sense…you touch it and you’re done, understand?”

Alice seemed startled by the extremely serious tone of the goat’s head, She hesitated for a second or two before opening her mouth: “Then… what is that door?”

Duncan who was walking on the deck suddenly gathered his energy, but when he heard the goat’s head suddenly fell silent, it took a long time before he spoke in a deep voice. , but did not answer any questions

directly : “You really didn’t touch that door, right?” “But…but the captain leaned over and looked through the crack of the door, and even poked something with his sword on the other side of the door…” After

Alice’s voice fell, Duncan suddenly felt the whole ship shake , and then all the mainsails and sidesails gave a low whine in the wind, and all the masts and cables creaked immediately – and all these things are currently being taken over by the goat’s head!

He looked up at the swaying masts and cables in surprise, as if he could sense the panic of the controller behind them through these things. In his mind, he heard the exclamation from the captain’s room, which was the voice of the goat’s head : “What did you say?! You said a crack in the door? Is the door open?”

“Yes… yes…” Alice seemed to be frightened, “The door is ajar, there is a crack, Probably… about as wide as a finger…”

“The captain glanced at the other side of the door? Then what? He stabbed with a sword… Did he change at that time? Did he hesitate or be in a daze when he took you away? “

No,” Alice replied immediately, “the captain just had a serious expression on his face, and then he brought me back quickly. He seemed to be thinking about something on the way, but he wasn’t in a daze at all—ah, he even discussed it with me. What about cooking, I’ll go to the kitchen later…”

“Don’t think about the kitchen yet! Do you know what’s behind that door?”

“Ah…what’s behind that door?” Alice asked. The tone was a bit dazed and frightened, she had never seen a goat’s head look so serious and urgent – it made her feel like the ship was about to sink.

The tone of the goat’s head suddenly became very low, and it slowly said: “Behind that door is the subspace.”

Duncan, who was walking on the deck, stopped.

Behind that door is subspace?

He was stunned, and the huge waves in his heart almost interfered with the monitoring of the captain’s cabin. But then, he thought of another thing——the shattered bilge, the

dim, Chaotic flow of light and shadow——The Lost Homeland sails in different dimensions at the same time. The time and space outside the bilge is obviously different from the real world, and there is a door in the bilge, and the opposite of the door is the subspace… Could it be that the Lost

Homeland The lower half of the ship is actually sailing in the subspace? !

And according to Goat’s Head, this kind of sailing state doesn’t seem to be stable? Not only does the bilge require constant reassurance from the captain, but the door should also be tightly closed in theory, but now there is an extra gap in it… What does this mean? Does it mean that there is a problem with the “tightness” of the bilge? Or is something in the Warp trying to get into the Lost?

He recalled that he tried to close the door before leaving the cabin, but no matter how hard he tried, the door remained open a crack—as solid as if it were integrated with the space.

He didn’t think much about it at the time, but when he recalled it, a strange idea came to his mind involuntarily.

Maybe… when I tried to close that door, something on the other side of the door was against it, preventing me from closing that passage…
