Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 116

[Chapter 116 The source of the invisible curtain]

dark green spirit fire is like a floating light and shadow, sweeping across the entire factory building in a few seconds. veils, so the reality under those veils appeared in Shirley and Duncan’s eyes.

Ashes, ashes everywhere, human-shaped ashes, shapeless ashes, scorched walls, melted roofs, twisted and brittle machine shells after the fire licked, and almost invisible molten matter piled up together, the whole The factory area is like a fiery purgatory that has cooled down not long ago. The fire has been extinguished, but the power to melt everything still seems to remain in the air.

Shirley stood blankly in the center of the wreckage of the fire scene, her eyes were a little dazed, while Ah Gou came to the girl’s side calmly, gently supporting her body with her bony back.

Soon, the dark green spiritual fire faded away, and everything in the factory returned to its original state.

Duncan looked at his hands with some regret – after all, this is just an “ordinary” body, which cannot be compared with the main body, and the fire of the spirit body that can be called is also very limited. Can last for a while.

But even such a brief “reappearance” is enough to reveal crucial truths.

“Sure enough, there was a big fire… I knew I remembered it right…” Shirley murmured, “I’ve been looking for it for eleven years, and it turned out to be here…” “

But the fire was wiped out.” “Agou said in a low voice, “some kind of power has woven a curtain in the real world, filtering out all traces related to ‘fire’… This curtain can even block the sight of the deep demon…” “It’s the

sun The fragments? Or the guy who brought the sun fragments to the city-state?” Shirley frowned, and then she suddenly noticed Duncan’s abnormal silence from just now, so she couldn’t help casting her gaze, “What do you think of this …”

“This place is still not the same as the fire scene in my memory,” Duncan shook his head before Shirley finished speaking. His eyes slowly swept across the facilities in the factory, recalling what happened here in the moment when the curtain was lifted briefly. The details presented, and at the same time recalling the scene of the fire in my memory, recalling the details of the building and the surrounding environment when “I” took Nina to escape the fire, and finally confirmed that my judgment was correct, ” Not here.”

“Huh?” Shirley was stunned for a moment, “The fire in your memory…isn’t here?” “There are

too many discrepancies in the details,” Duncan said in a deep voice, and at the same time walked slowly towards the outside of the factory building Go, he looked through the fallen gate and looked at the dilapidated street in the distance, “or more strictly speaking, the scenery of the entire Sixth Street…doesn’t seem quite right.”

Shirley and Agou subconsciously looked at each other After glancing at it, he lowered his voice and asked, “What do you think is going on?”

“I don’t know, I’m just a dog,” Agou shook his head, “And I was even more confused than you eleven years ago.”

Duncan heard the conversation between Shirley and Agou in the back, and he turned his head slightly: “Is this factory the only suspicious place?” “Maybe… yes…”

Shirley said uncertainly, ” Anyway, according to what I found out, this factory was the center of the chaos eleven years ago.”

Duncan was noncommittal, and in the next two hours, he, Shirley and the deep hound inspected all the abandoned factories. still accessible area.

Strangely, they found no trace of any otherworldly powers or otherworldly objects, other than the “veil” that covered reality.

“This is not quite right…” After a rough inspection of the last building, Agou finally expressed his doubts, “The ‘curtain’ covering the fire must have been created by extraordinary powers, but let’s find I searched the entire factory area, but I couldn’t find the ‘source’ of the curtain…it’s unreasonable.”

“Does there have to be a source?” Shirley asked curiously.

Duncan was also very curious, but he didn’t show it. He just kept his face sullen, and at the same time he waited calmly for Agou to explain – no one would have thought of

this, the only one among the three “persons” on the scene The transcendental expert turned out to be a dog…

Ah Gou didn’t think too much about it. As a deep demon, knowledge in many transcendental fields is common sense to him. It is obviously a kind of continuous power. This power must have a source to maintain it until now, and just now… the curtain closed again after Mr. Duncan’s flame faded, which also shows that there is something behind this curtain. It… may be a powerful abnormal object, or it may be a powerful transcendent, anyway, no matter what it is, it must exist somewhere in the city-state…” While speaking, the deep hound raised its head,

empty His eyes scanned the streets in the distance, and the city beyond.

“We haven’t found the source of the curtain within the factory, which means that the things supporting the curtain are projecting power here from a distance, or… the scale of this curtain is beyond imagination, and we have only opened one of it so far. Xiaojiao, if it is the second situation…”

Ah Gou said, he suddenly lowered his voice nervously: “If it is the second situation, then this matter may not be easy to handle, the general ‘abnormality’ is not easy at all. It’s impossible to have such a large coverage area! It’s probably an anomaly, an unknown anomaly…” “

Sun fragments are certainly not an ordinary ‘abnormal object’, after all, according to those cultists, that fragment is the sun god The corpse,” Shirley said suddenly, “maybe this is a means for the sun fragments to hide themselves.” “

…Is it a high-ranking anomaly with a tendency to think? In order to prevent being controlled by others, he took the initiative to create a curtain to erase the traces of his existence, and Hiding somewhere behind the curtain?” Agou said thoughtfully, “It is true that this possibility cannot be ruled out, if it is really the corpse of a god, it is also possible that it had the ability to think before waking up.”

Shirley Holding his chin, he thought about it quite seriously, and then he seemed to think of something suddenly, and looked at Agou in surprise: “So you are so knowledgeable, Agou? You obviously don’t even know the words…”

“I am Youyou Demon! I am the shadow derived from the flesh and blood of the Lord Youyou! This knowledge has been imprinted in my memory since I was born, okay?” Agou shook the chain impatiently, “And when it comes to denying Words… you have the nerve to say me?!”

Duncan watched Shirley and her deep hound interacting with interest, this strange combination has many secrets, which aroused his strong interest, but not yet When he asked, Xueli seemed to think of something suddenly. She looked up at the sky nervously, and saw that the sun was slowly approaching the highest point in the sky, and suddenly exclaimed: “Oh! It’s already noon!” Duncan

picked She raised her eyebrows: “Do you have other plans?”

“I…” Shirley said nervously, “I have to go home before noon!”

Duncan looked at the girl quietly: “Didn’t you say you Are your parents gone? Who will lecture you when you come home late?”

“It’s not preaching…it’s an appointment with someone else!” Shirley waved her hands quickly, as if she had experienced the exploration in the factory together. In front of Duncan, he became a little more courageous, “I… Shall we continue next time?”

Duncan glanced at the dark hound next to him, who immediately shrank his neck: “You have the final say, if you want to continue exploring, Shirley and I…”

“No need,” Duncan shook his head, “Continuing to explore here won’t yield much, and we’ll talk about it when we find new clues. Since you have other things to do, go ahead.”

Xue Li suddenly showed surprise, as if she didn’t expect the boss to let her go so happily, but she didn’t dare to run away directly, so she carefully confirmed: “Then… Agou and I will leave first ? Then if you want to find us in the future…”

Duncan just showed a slight smile and looked at her friendlyly: “We are destined, we will meet.”

He looked at Xueli and Agou with a gentle smile, and in his vision In the center, on the pitch-black chain connecting the deep hound, a little green spark was quietly smoldering.

This is the result of his deepening understanding of “spiritual body fire” after he accidentally established contact with Fan Na last time, and it can be regarded as a small attempt.

This imprint was released by him on his own initiative, and it was stronger than the flame left on Fan Na’s body—but it was gentle and harmless.

Xue Li suddenly felt a chill hit – she felt like shivering even though the boss’s smile was so gentle.

But in the end, she controlled her expression and said goodbye as politely as possible, and then left quickly with Agou.
