Deep Sea Embers Chapter 62: Staggered and overlapped

The bottom of the Homeless is very likely to have been sailing in the warp - this shocking information made Duncan's mood suddenly become very subtle.

He'd always known that Homeless was weird and dangerous, but he never thought the ship would be so weird - he didn't know much about the warp, and he might not even be as professional as Ni Na's history teacher, but at least he also knows that the warp is the most dangerous thing in the world. It is the "bottom of all things" that can keep the saints up at night and make the gods deeply fear. People are so frightened that some superstitious sailors don't even dare to say the word "warp" out loud on the ship that is about to set sail.

Even if the Warp isn't a sensible deity and doesn't look at people just because their name is called, people are so afraid to mention the word at sea.

But the Lost Homes, a ghost ship that has been wandering for a century, may have been sailing in the warp for part of it, and even...it has a door to the warp at the bottom of the ship.

The dark and dilapidated cabin opposite the door may be the structure on the Homeless that has been completely occupied by the warp - and that door is a seal.

Duncan lowered his head subconsciously and looked at the dark deck under his feet. His eyes seemed to penetrate the layers of wood to see the broken cabin and the chaotic light and shadow outside the cabin.

He suddenly felt as if he was standing on a lit powder keg - the little gap that the door opened was the powder keg's lead, and he didn't know how long the lead was.

But after a brief period of consternation and nervousness, Duncan gradually reacted: the performance of the goat head seemed to reveal another level of intelligence.

According to the panic it showed after hearing Alice's words, it seemed that as long as "Captain Duncan" peeked into the warp through the crack of the door, something very terrible would definitely happen after that.

Up to now, the goat head is still in the captain's room to repeatedly confirm to Alice the captain's mental state after that, to confirm whether the captain said anything on the way back, whether there was any abnormal sound, whether it was brought out or not. Unusual shade.

But Duncan is well aware of his state, and he knows he's doing fine right now.

The "phantom" that appeared behind the door really made him panic for a while, and he did have a brief thought about whether to open the door - but all of this was purely psychological. In the process, he didn't feel the influence of the "supernatural power" at all.

The flash of thought passed away, and he didn't feel that the door had any long-term impact on him.

Duncan lowered his head, looked at his hands, and confirmed over and over again in his mind—

Here, his name is Duncan Abnomar, captain of the Homeless.

In another time and space, his name is Zhou Ming, an ordinary middle school teacher who is trapped in a single apartment in the fog.

Perhaps...the goathead was overly nervous? It was just a crack in the door, not an open subspace passage.

Homeless swayed slightly in the waves, the masts and cables creaked, and the translucent spirit sails were still a little unstable, showing the tension and... "dereliction of duty" of the controller behind it .

Duncan looked up at the sails, suddenly calmed down, and said in a deep voice in the back of his mind, "First mate, take your helm and control the sails."

"Ship... Captain?" Goathead's voice rang out immediately, with a little panic, "Ah, yes! Yes Captain!"

Duncan did not say a word, but maintained his usual silence and seriousness in the spiritual connection. He was waiting for Goat Head to speak, and the latter broke the silence after a few seconds: "Captain, I just heard Miss Alice say... ...that bilge door opened a crack..."

"Yes," Duncan replied calmly, "I checked."

"You did check, Miss Alice said you confirmed the situation across the door..." Goathead seemed to be trying to figure out what to say, "Are you feeling...I mean, a little bit of a trance now? Opposite that door..."

"Warp, I know," Duncan interrupted before Goathead could finish. "Do you think I'm not sober right now? Don't speak so hesitantly."

"Of course, you don't look abnormal!" Goathead said immediately, "Maybe I'm too nervous, after all, such a thing has never happened. The barrier between the two has always been stable, I... did not expect the situation to change, this is definitely not a question to you."

Bring the boat back? Drive back from where?

Duncan keenly captured the information revealed in the words of the goat's head, and quickly guessed some truth, but he did not show any strangeness, but just seemed to say casually: "According to my observation, the crack in the door is still stable now. But the possibility of further expansion is not ruled out - I would like to hear your views."

"...It's good news now that it's stable, Captain," Goathead didn't suspect him, but looked very sad, "As for my advice...To be honest, I don't know what to do anymore, then You left and closed the door with your own hands. You never told me what plans you have after this, and you never mentioned what will happen after this. The bilge thing has always been handled by you... …”

"...Yes," Duncan said immediately, "you don't have much advice in this regard."

It seems that Goat Head doesn't know all the information about the door at the bilge.

It only knows that the door is opposite to the Warp, only that once that door is opened, nothing good will happen, and more information... is actually in the hands of "the real Captain Duncan".

But where to find the "real Captain Duncan" now?

"Captain..." At this time, the voice of the goat head resounded in his mind again, "What do you plan to do next?"

Arrangement? What arrangement? Is it possible to run to land? As far as the reputation of Captain Duncan is concerned, I am afraid that as long as the Homeless appears in the coastal waters of any city-state, it will attract a whole fleet to pursue and intercept it. What else can I do other than continue to float on the sea with this ship?

Duncan rolled his eyes and looked up at the sky helplessly. Ai, who had run up to the mast and pretended to stand guard, flew down and landed on his shoulder, nodding and babbling: " It's a trap! Abandon the ship to escape!"

"Escape? Escape..." Duncan said subconsciously, but then reacted, "Wait, can you hear me talking to Goathead?"

He has been talking to the goat head through spiritual connection, why did the pigeon suddenly fly down and say such a seemingly fitting word?

The pigeon flapped its wings and said with a proud face: "Don't talk, mother, I have my own understanding!"

Duncan suddenly wondered what pigeon soup tasted like.

But he hasn't forgotten that the goat's head on the other side is still waiting for him to speak, so after calming down, he ignores the stewed pigeon on his shoulder and continues to say in his mind: "Do your own thing well. Just, I'll keep an eye on that door, as always."

"Yes, Captain!"

Homeless's attitude gradually stabilized, and the sails were re-angled, allowing the huge ship to continue on the boundless sea.

The bow broke through the waves, and the fine waves crashed against the hull, and there was a clattering sound.

Duncan finished his conversation with Goathead, and he slowly came to the edge of the deck, looking out at the dark sea beneath his feet.

The cold, pale glow of the Creation of the World reflected in the water~IndoMTL.com~ He would pay attention to the bilge door, but just "focusing" on that door wouldn't change the situation.

He needs more knowledge, more understanding and control of his own power, and maybe... a little help.

These things are not on the ship, but the city-state of Perand may have them.

Nina will be returning from school tomorrow, and for the rest of the day, she'll be back in the antique shop every day after school - and her "Uncle Duncan" will be in the shop by then.

Before that, I have to transfer my "main consciousness" to the city-state-before I can skillfully control two bodies at the same time, such frequent perspective switching is a last resort.

At the same time as this transfer, he also asked Ai to do further tests.

He wants to see if Aye can take the items from the Lost Homes to the antique shop, and if so, check to see if there is a limit on what it can carry, and if there is a "lost" message when carrying more items package" problem...

With all kinds of plans brewing in his heart, Duncan's eyes were unconsciously watching the waves outside.

The reflection of the creation of the world in the sea appears hazy and chaotic, with scattered shimmers like an invisible stream of light.

The creation of the world? !

Duncan was stunned for a moment. He suddenly felt that the sky reflected in the sea had some kind of plausible familiarity.

He looked up suddenly and looked at the huge, scar-like crack in the sky.

The huge "wound" is filled with chaotic and dim light, and the sky around the wound is a mist of light that escapes. If you look closely, the so-called mist... is actually the countless overlapping and entangled patterns. Blurred light flow.

It's like... the view outside the broken cabin at the bottom of the Lost Country.
