Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 74

[Chapter 74 Incomplete Memory]

Duncan quickly withdrew his gaze from the golden mask, lowered his eyes slightly like the ordinary believers around him, and pretended to be ready to listen to the teaching seriously.

He hadn’t heard anything useful enough to get the cult’s attention too soon.

And the moment he lowered his head, the feeling of being swept by someone’s gaze came over again.

Duncan frowned slightly, and following his feelings, it was indeed the girl in the black dress with the strange bell around her neck who was secretly observing him—and when his gaze turned away, she turned away calmly. Too much.

This made Duncan extremely puzzled.

He was convinced that he didn’t know her, and there was no information about the girl in the memory of the original owner of this body—why did a follower of the Sun God who met for the first time pay attention to him so often?

Is it because the pigeon on his shoulder is really unique?

He just thought about it for a while, and then he heard the voice of the leader of the believers suddenly coming from the front—after wearing a golden mask, the leader has become the incarnation of some kind of divine power, and even the voice when he speaks is low and deep. I don’t know if he deliberately controlled the voice, or if the mask really mixed another consciousness into his voice:

“The prayer is over, the Lord has witnessed our devotion and awe – grace has shined on us Brothers and sisters, let us be grateful, we have persisted in this difficult and dark world for one more day, and we are one day closer to the day when the scorching sun will be revived and order will be recast.” The “priest” wearing a golden

mask “Opening his hands, he said in a very bewitching tone, and then his eyes suddenly fell on the corner among the believers, and his tone was calm and friendly.

“However, before proceeding to today’s assembly, we would like to welcome two compatriots who were once trapped in darkness during difficult times, but thanks to the guidance of the Lord, they were able to return to the community… Let me introduce myself, Simple.”

Two compatriots?

Duncan suddenly remembered that the leader seemed to have told him that he was not the only strange face in this rally, and then he looked in the direction the leader was looking at—he saw the man in the girl in black dress.

For some reason, he was not surprised.

“You can call me Shirley,” the girl naturally took half a step forward, and said in a calm and generous manner, “My parents are both believers, but unfortunately they were killed by the minions of the Deep Sea Church four years ago. I have never been in touch with other siblings in the neighborhood…fortunately you are here.”

Her voice was not loud, she sounded quiet and well-behaved, if she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, it would be really hard to connect such a child with a bloody cultist.

“Welcome back to us, young sister,” the leader nodded, and then looked at the surrounding believers, “Xue Li’s parents were killed by the church’s purge four years ago, we were on the list back then. The names of her parents were found on the map—and another sibling.” The

leader’s eyes finally fell on Duncan.

“Duncan, live in the lower city.” Duncan had already made preparations and stepped forward calmly. “A few days ago, the Church of the Deep Sea destroyed a sacrificial ceremony in the sewer. I am a survivor.” He said very briefly

. , but his attitude was sincere and calm enough, and the news of the Deep Sea Church’s raid on the sewer cult’s stronghold was well known, occupying the front pages of several newspapers, so immediately after his voice fell, several believers around him started talking in low voices. The leader nodded and added the situation: “This is also a tried and tested compatriot. After experiencing the devastation of those hyenas in the Deep Sea Church, he is still trying his best to return to the embrace of the Lord—he has a gift The emblem of Fu is a token, and it is credible.”

After the leader’s voice fell, those believers who did not understand the situation at the scene immediately cast their gazes at Duncan, some nodded and some sighed, while Duncan continued to cover most of his face, and put the multiplication table I recited it backwards…

“The brief introduction is over,” at this moment, the leader finally spoke to the part that Duncan was interested in. “The latest situation will be announced next.”

Duncan’s ears perked up immediately.

“…At present, a large number of compatriots are still gathering in this city-state, including ordinary believers with firm beliefs, as well as powerful messengers and priests. Our power in this city-state is gradually increasing, and the order is being reshaped. The day is approaching…

“But it is undeniable that the minions of the Deep Sea Church have also reacted. Recently, the city-state authorities have become more stringent in their investigations of the foreign population. Several of our gathering points have also been destroyed by the authorities. Therefore, in the city The brothers and sisters of the event must be careful, and the collection of sacrifices can be slowed down——The son of the Lord has issued a metaphorical order, and we have collected more than half of the power recently, and there are still gaps, and the son of the Lord will solve it by himself… “

The cultists around seemed to be greatly moved, and they began to praise the kindness and greatness of the Sun God. Duncan immediately thought of the sacrificial ceremony he saw in the sewer before—these cultists, indeed Using that kind of ritual to collect power, and it sounds like… the group of behind-the-scenes controllers called “Children of the Sun” actually participated in this time?

The power collected by this group of cultists seems to be insufficient at present, because The city hall and the church in Purland have already noticed their activities, but if those sons also go to battle in person… the plan of these cultists may still go ahead! At this moment, he heard

the leader continue to say: “…Our most important task at present is to determine the specific location of the sun debris. Remember, our goal is always to bring the real sun god back into the world, and finding the lost sun fragments is the most important part! “

Duncan’s heart moved—sun shards? What is that?

Can a pile of sun shards make the Spear of Adun bigger?

He felt the pigeon on his shoulder suddenly become restless, and Ai shook his body vigorously. While making a low cooing sound from his throat.

Through the connection from the spirit body fire, he could vaguely feel what the pigeon wanted to do.

It wanted to f*c*k, it wanted to f*c*k loudly, and it wanted Duncan to take it Solar Tomahawk, and reassemble a wave of troops.

But it can’t talk – it’s just a pigeon here.

This can make it depressed bad.

“Quiet.” Duncan could only murmur in a low voice, and at the same time rubbed the pigeon’s head with the back of his hand to comfort him. At the same time, a believer who was closer to the leader asked: “We can now determine the location of the sun fragments.” Is there an approximate location? Is there any way to… detect it?”

“The sun fragments are currently in a dormant state, and cannot be detected by any means,” the leader shook his head, “but the Lord has issued guidance, and the fragments should be It is hiding near the lower city of Puland. In addition, considering that there are new compatriots joining today, I will explain the situation again: “According to the

information I have, the first fragment should have appeared in the world eleven years ago. And it is very likely that some kind of large-scale supernatural phenomenon has been triggered—it may be a large-scale fire, it may be an abnormally high temperature in the entire block, or it may be a collective spontaneous combustion of the human body or a group hallucination. This is exactly the direction of our investigation now.

“The city-state authorities have detailed information about extraordinary phenomena over the years. The great gods have already tried to find these records. Some ordinary people living in the lower city may still remember the ‘strange things’ that happened here eleven years ago. , our mission is to collect clues in this regard to deduce the location of the sun fragments.

” But be careful, all inquiries must be careful. Sometimes it’s extra sensitive…they’re already on their toes. “

The leader explained the current situation to the surrounding congregants, and Duncan’s mind was also spinning rapidly. He paid special attention to the time point of “eleven years ago”-according to the leader, eleven years ago, it was The day when something otherworldly, known as a “Shard of the Sun,” came into the world, but Duncan noticed this moment because of something else. Eleven years ago, Nina, aged six,

lost her parents .It

seems to be because of a big fire.

Is it just a coincidence? Is there such a coincidence?

Duncan tried his best to sort out the messy and broken memories in his mind, but more than half of these memories had dissipated with the death of the original owner of his body. He tried his best to recall, but he could only remember one or two vague fragments: The original owner of this body rushed out of the fire, holding his dying niece in his arms. Behind him, an invisible building burned and collapsed. Indistinct frantic crowds are running wildly on the street…
