Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 807

[Chapter 788: Analyzing Star Maps and Uninvited Guests]

Alice looked excited.

Now she was observing everything in this place with wide eyes. If Duncan hadn’t stopped her, she might have even run to the black mist at the end of the hall. She pulled Duncan to ask questions about the things on the ceiling. Duncan patiently explained how

the cables hanging down to the door not

far away were in the “Alice Mansion”, and it was a “Special Alice Mansion”.

This incredible experience was obviously regarded as an interesting “adventure” by her.

“It’s amazing…it turns out that Alice’s Mansion looks like this,” Miss Doll smiled happily and walked around the platform she sat on at the beginning. “This is really my house? How big is it? That’s it. It’s a pity that I can’t move in…

“First of all, this is only a part of Alice Mansion. Strictly speaking, it should be a hall in front of it,” Duncan looked at the dolls surrounding him and couldn’t help but remind him. , “Second, the other Alice Mansion does not look like this. There is a garden at the corresponding location.

I judge that using different keys to open the door will lead to different Alice Mansion.

“Oh…Alice nodded while listening, not sure if she really listened.

Duncan’s eyes quickly fell on the drawing board in Alice’s arms.

When Alice woke up, Before coming, the drawing board was held in the doll’s arms, and she still holds it subconsciously. Duncan still clearly remembers that in “Another Version of Alice’s Mansion”, the doll’s arms in the garden The drawing board he is holding depicts the scene of “doomsday red shift”, so what will be on this drawing board here?

“Alice, bring me your drawing board.” “He suddenly said.

“Drawing board?” The puppet was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted. Then belatedly, he realized that he was holding something in his arms, and quickly ran over and handed the drawing board to the captain, “Here! “

Duncan took the drawing board, turned it to the front, and then gradually frowned.

The front of the “drawing board” was a screen, full of a lot of lines and symbols that even he couldn’t understand, and there were countless dense and continuous The refreshed data was flowing around those lines and symbols, as if extremely complex calculations and reorganization were being performed every moment.

Duncan frowned at these, and suddenly vaguely guessed something in his heart, and at this moment Alice. He also came over curiously, squeezed his head next to Duncan’s shoulder and looked at the content on the “drawing board”, and suddenly let out a long-drawn exclamation: Oh…

Duncan immediately raised his head: “Do you know what this is?

“Position, our current coordinates relative to the overall space-time structure of the shelter,” Alice said without thinking, and then before the captain could continue to ask, she added confidently, “What do I mean?”

Duncan: …

He found that since he woke up Alice here, the words spoken by the doll made him increasingly confused about what to do next!

But Alice’s response at least confirmed his suspicions. :This is the route!

The “route” opened by the navigation key handed over to me by Queen Leviathan is indeed on the “doll” sleeping in the mansion, it is this “drawing board”!

– The doll next to him is curious Observing the change in Duncan’s expression, he tilted his head in confusion: “Captain? Why are you ignoring me?”

“Alice,” Duncan suddenly woke up from his thoughts and looked at the doll lady in front of him seriously. , “If you are right, this is the ‘route’ leading to various nodes in the external barrier. Do you know how to ‘use’ it?”

Alice was stunned when she heard this, and took the drawing board from Duncan with some hesitation, and used His fingers slid on the “screen” that was constantly refreshing data and lines. After a while, he whispered as if talking to himself: “I seem to… know? But it seems that I need to study it…

She frowned and raised her head: “I think the method of use is already in my mind, and I can activate something by instinct, but this requires a process… Don’t worry, it won’t take long.” “

While the puppet was explaining this, Duncan suddenly noticed something. He immediately looked up and saw that the “tree” composed of countless cable ducts connecting the dome and the platform was moving————

Countless flowing shimmers of light quickly became bright and active among its “branches”, and many cables originally hidden in the darkness appeared on the edge of its “canopy” as if emerging out of thin air, and directed towards the black people around the hall. Extending in the fog, a low humming sound came from the fog, as if something was starting up and gradually increasing the power…

The puppet’s fingers slid over the lines and symbols on the drawing board, flowing rapidly Data emerged from beside her, floating in the air like a ghost. She gradually stopped talking, as if all her “attention” was immersed in the work thread.

Duncan suddenly heard a voice, that was Alice’s voice. But it didn’t come from the mouth of the doll, but came directly from some “broadcasting devices” above the hall:

“The host is starting…it is analyzing the star map, and the star map is authorized from…Pilot One…

Duncan looked at this scene in amazement but not unexpectedly. Some expectation vaguely emerged in his heart at some point, but at this moment, a noise suddenly reached his ears, followed by the flowing water on the “tree”. The brightness and the hum of equipment in all directions quickly dimmed.

“Analysis paused… Unauthorized access detected.

Duncan’s eyes changed slightly for a moment, and then he saw Alice also seemed stunned for a moment, and then she raised her head as if she had woken up: “Captain, there is someone knocking on the door. !”

Someone knocked on the door?!

Duncan reacted immediately, and almost at the same time, he heard the sound of the knock on the door. The sound was not loud, but it seemed to ignore the distance and attenuation, and it came directly and clearly from a very far away place.

The knocker was very patient, and the rhythm was repeated with mechanical precision. Alice jumped down from the platform with the drawing board in her arms and came to

Duncan

nervously: “Captain, do you want to open the door?” ?”

…Follow me” Duncan thought for a moment and said with a serious expression, and then reminded him, “Hold the drawing board and don’t let it escape your hands.”

Oh…Okay!”

Alice was a little confused. He agreed in a panic, followed the captain’s footsteps, and quickly walked towards the door not far away]

The two left the dimly lit navigation hall, and under the leadership of Duncan, they entered the extraordinarily long road. The corridor passed through silent rooms and hallways, and quickly moved towards the main hall on the first floor of the mansion.

The knocks on the door continued patiently, and they seemed to knock directly on Duncan’s heart

inexplicably .

She thought of the knocking sound she heard in the bachelor’s apartment, and thought of the Frost Queen who came to visit through the thick fog,

and then temporarily put these irrelevant associations behind her,

holding the drawing board, almost .

– Lu followed the captain at a trot. She looked at the corridors, narrow windows and wooden doors that led to unknown places around her in amazement. She seemed to be full of questions, but she didn’t bother to ask about

this building .

The thing was so huge that if the captain hadn’t led the way, she might even have gotten lost here.

Then, they finally arrived at the main hall of the mansion,

where the gloomy and towering door stood like a giant on the dark red carpet. At the end, knocking sounds kept coming from outside the door,Bang bang, bang bang.

Duncan frowned and brought the puppet to the door.

He tried to sense the breath outside the door, but felt that there was only nothingness outside. He did not feel hostility, danger, or even a specific “existence”.

The knocking sound seemed to be urging. In the balance and hesitation, Duncan put his hand down. At the gate.

He recalled what the headless butler had said to him –

“Never open the door, there is doom outside.”

Alice stood nervously behind the captain and hugged her tightly obediently. She looked at the gloomy and towering door.

The creaking sound reached her ears.

Duncan pushed the door open cautiously and found that it was lighter than he thought.

There was no lock, no rust, and despite the creaking sound, the door was as light as a feather. As the door opened, a ray of sunlight suddenly pierced the darkness, passed through the door, and reflected in the eyes of Duncan and Alice. . A brilliant sun burned in nothingness, and the bright and fierce sunlight shone on the exterior wall and main entrance of Alice’s mansion, but

this

fierce sunlight did not hurt anyone’s eyes.

There was a sense of familiarity, and then he saw the magnificent sun disk slowly turning its angle in his field of vision. The sun’s corona was fading away, and beneath the burning shell were

countless pale and dying tentacles and swellings .

The flesh and blood piled up into a star, supporting the blazing shell. A huge one-eye was surrounded by tentacles. It slowly adjusted its angle and stared at the two figures standing at the door of the mansion:

the Creeping Sun Disk, the Black Sun, and the Sun Cultist. The “real sun god” in his mouth was knocking on the door.

“I almost gave up,” before Duncan could speak, a weak voice reached his ears, the layer of the ancient god burned by the sun’s corona. Layers of tremors said, “I’m getting ready to leave.

Duncan stared at the “ancient god” floating in nothingness with an expressionless face (actually because he was in a daze due to the accident), and it seemed impossible to judge its specific distance and size with the naked eye. After a while, he said: .. The house is very big, and it takes a long time to walk from the front to the door after hearing the knock on the door.

When he finished speaking, Alice next to her also nodded: “Yes, it’s big! We ran in the corridor for a long time!”

The deformed sun fell silent, and after a few seconds, he spoke again: “Well, that makes sense. .
