Deep Sea Embers Chapter 38: Offline

The corpse was breathing, as if it had wandered around the edge of the kingdom of death before returning to the world.

The black-robed believers in the room stared blankly at this scene. Some of them didn't even realize that the man in front of them had actually "died" once, because this moment of life and death was so short that they didn't pay close attention to it. They couldn't even tell the difference, they just felt that the breath of the dying "compatriots" in front of them suddenly became steady and powerful for some reason, which was extraordinarily surprising.

The next second, the man lying on the ground opened his eyes.

He seems to have been in the dark for so long that the oil lamps in the room are not bright enough to make him feel dazzled. He blinks his eyes to adjust to the light, and then slowly rolls his eyes, as if he has just noticed the gathering around him. The three men in black robes.

"Thank you for the blessing of the Lord!" A relatively young black-robed believer finally reacted and couldn't help but praised excitedly, "You survived! I thought you would..."

"Wait! No! Step back!" The deep-voiced cultist suddenly reacted. He stopped the others and stared at the man who had just woken up with vigilant eyes. Stepping back, he said in a threatening tone, "His breathing just now stopped completely. I'm absolutely right... the situation is not right!"

Duncan finally got used to the surrounding environment, and the tinnitus-like noise gradually faded from his mind. He saw the figures around him clearly, and the first reaction in his heart was - why is this group of people when he opens his eyes ? Why is this still in the sewer?

Walking in the spiritual world should be random, and when he chose his target, he was completely intuition and messed up, but he didn't expect to open his eyes twice to fall into the middle of this group of cultists. What kind of sin is this? edge?

But then, he noticed something was wrong from the reactions of those around him, and the next second, he noticed the black robe on his body.

Duncan was silent for two seconds, and his mind was already stunned.

In the last round, he was sacrificed by a cultist, and then he closed his eyes. Now he is a "cultist".

He really has a relationship with this group of people.

"...something's not right!"

At this moment, a low voice full of hostility suddenly interrupted Duncan's confusion after "awakening". He followed the sound and immediately met a cold gaze full of vigilance.

The owner of that line of sight was staring at him coldly, and next to him, the other two black-robed cultists also reacted with hindsight, and they stepped back and took a defensive posture.

Duncan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he might have possessed a corpse just like last time.

I am cheating in front of these cultists!

After understanding the current situation, the nervous reactions of these cultists also became logical. Duncan's mind was running fast. He felt that the numbness and dullness remaining in this body had not completely dissipated. Now his actions are divided. Inconvenient outside, it seems that it is not easy to do things under the eyes of several cultists, so he can only find a way to stabilize these people - and just as he was quickly thinking of a way out, a little fragmented vague memory suddenly appeared. It popped into his mind!

In that fragmented and vague memory, he suddenly "remembered" many fragments of experiences that did not belong to him - he remembered "self" hiding in the sewers, remembering "self" offering his family's money to the sun Messenger, remember that "myself" participated in those dark, crazy and **** sinful rituals in order to heal the disease, and drank the blood of innocents in exchange for "the blessing of the sun"...

At the end of a series of messy memories, he "sees" the scene of the sacrifice ceremony again, and sees many people wearing black robes like himself standing beside the high platform, and a young sacrifice is pushed up On the high platform, the young sacrifice with a stiff and weird expression caused the whole ceremony to fall into chaos...

He saw that the "Messenger of the Sun" was sacrificed to the heart, everyone around the altar fell into madness, the believers were killing each other, raging flames overflowed from the sun totem, angry roars and murmurs of nothingness The assembly hall was flooded, and the original owner of his body and the last few remaining believers fled in a hurry...

Duncan didn't know how long he had been sluggish. Maybe it was only for a moment. The unfamiliar memory in his mind calmed down again. A sad and hateful life turned into a series of pale fragments, as if for people to read. Lying in the bottom of his heart - like some kind of "nutrient".

This is the memory of the original owner of this body - although there are not many left, there is no doubt about the source.

Duncan blinked, this was a change that hadn't happened during the last "spirit walk".

Last time, he couldn't get any memory from the possessed corpse, the brain of that "sacrifice" was only blank... Why is there such a change this time?

Is it because the body he occupies this time is still "fresh"? Or is it because the pigeon "Aye" reinforces the power of the brass compass?

Duncan sat up slowly from the ground. He knew that no matter what the reason behind the change was, now was not a good time to be in a daze. Those nervous cultists were obviously aware of their "resurrection". The process is not right.

Accompanied by Duncan's move to get up, the three cultists immediately took a half step back, and then the man in black with a low voice broke the silence with one hand on his waist: "You don't move— Tell me, what's your name?"

"...Ron," Duncan recalled briefly, and then quite naturally said the name he had just learned from memory, "Ron Strain."

"His name is Ron." A young black-robed believer across from him immediately lowered his voice and said to the low-voiced black-robed man who had become the leader of the three.

However, the black-robed man did not let his guard down at all, he just kept staring at Duncan, and then suddenly recited in a strange syllable tone: "In the name of the sun, may the glory of the Lord shine, and in the sun In the name of the Lord, may the blessing of the Lord come!"

Hearing the sudden maddening movement of the cultist opposite, Duncan was stunned for a moment, and then felt a scorching heat in his chest. He subconsciously reached out and took out the hot thing under his clothes, but saw that A golden sun talisman—a strange heat is coming from the surface of the talisman!

The next second, the talisman suddenly burst into flames. The flames seemed to be full of malice, and they rushed towards Duncan's heart!

"The glory of the Lord is attacking him!" Seeing this scene, the cultist who had just recited the prayer immediately reacted. He pulled out the dagger from his waist and shouted at the same time, "His soul has been replaced. Kill this heretic filth!"

The movement of the other two cultists was obviously a little slower, but they also reacted immediately. Those who thought Duncan was a "compatriot" at the moment did not hesitate to take out the short swords and daggers they were carrying, while full of He swooped over with murderous intent and shouted loudly: "Kill him!!"

Duncan held the Sun Talisman, which had already started to burn, and watched three figures swooping towards him. The next second, another figure suddenly appeared at the edge of his line of sight!

A phantom-like undead bird with green flames burning all over its body ripped through the air and swept across the roof in a icy stream of flame~IndoMTL.com~ It shrieked eerily and flapped its wings In the meantime, invisible ashes and fragments of feathers were scattered.

The three cultists were naturally attracted by this "undead bird", and they subconsciously looked up at "Ai" who had transformed into a spirit form.

The next moment, all of their movements were sluggish, as if the connection with the real world suddenly became distant and sluggish, the figures of the three men in black robes were like a frame-by-frame animation in the air. The overlapping afterimages were pulled out, and they landed slowly with ridiculously slow movements, and finally fell to a standstill within two meters in front of Duncan.

With great horror in their eyes, they watched the undead bird hovering on the ceiling and then landed on the black-robed "compatriot" on the opposite side. They saw that the sun amulet in the man's hand was still burning. , but in the next second, those burning flames turned faint green, and became the same shape as the flames on the "undead bird".

Duncan squeezed the sun talisman in his hand, and the green spirit flames wrapped around the surface of the talisman. He stopped, and slowly circled on his arm in a pleasing manner.

Holding the sun talisman that had been completely occupied and transformed, he unhurriedly came to the three cultists, he looked into the other's horrified eyes, and could not help but regret in his tone: "You have to pretend to be everything. I don't know how good it should be."

The next second, the figures of the three cultists suddenly flickered violently in mid-air a few times, and then disappeared.

The skeleton-like "undead bird" wrapped in green fire jumped twice on Duncan's shoulders, and in the crackling sound of the flames, it screamed sharply and hoarsely: "Oops, the page is gone, refresh it Try it?"
