Deep Sea Embers Chapter 70: Myself

In a world where there are extraordinary visions, the land is blocked by an endless ocean, and the guardians and anomalies in the city-state are in endless battles, how do ordinary people survive?

Duncan still lacks understanding of the city-state, but at least where he sees it, ordinary people in this world still live in an environment of order and stability—

They work, study, rest, they run shops, they communicate with each other, they go out on their days off, to cinemas and restaurants, to parks and ports, they visit museums, and they gossip with their neighbors after dinner— — They lead a less exciting, but usually very secure, life.

The bus driven by the steam engine stops and goes, sometimes at the platform, sometimes at the side of the road, passengers come up at any time, and passengers leave at any time, the silent driver will occasionally tell the conductor Two words, but most of the time she was driving, and the young conductor looked up at the roof from time to time - she seemed to be still thinking about the pigeon.

Duncan sat in his seat, observing everything around him with curiosity, watching the lives of ordinary people.

It seems that in addition to the need to understand the anomalies and visions that exist in the world, and to follow this knowledge as a "safety code", the lives of these ordinary people are also similar to what he sees on Earth. too much.

As we approached the Cross Street, the bus stopped again, this time at the platform where many passengers boarded.

Duncan looked curiously at the scenery on the platform, at the chimneys standing in the distance and the steam pipes crisscrossing the buildings, but suddenly, he vaguely felt an unusual heat rise near his chest stand up.

The heat came from the sun badge he had hidden behind him!

Duncan, who was admiring the scenery, was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously touched the position where the badge was hidden. The next second, he felt that the badge was not only heating, but also trembling slightly.

He doesn't know what's going on, but it's clear that the badge is resonating with something nearby - through the connection that has been established between himself and the badge, he senses the source of this resonance rusty, and the next second , his eyes locked on a figure outside the car window who was walking quickly through the crowd.

The figure was wearing a black coat and looked like an ordinary passerby, but the "pointing sense" from the sun badge definitely pointed to that figure!

Duncan immediately stood up from his seat and walked quickly towards the door of the car, and in his thoughts, Ai the pigeon also received instructions, flapping its wings and flying off the roof of the car, fell on his shoulders.

The conductor standing near the car door watched this scene in surprise, and only whispered after Duncan got out of the car: "How did this pigeon train..."

But then this little episode in daily life disappeared from the attention of the conductor, she turned to look at the passengers who had just boarded the bus: "Come here to buy tickets... children must also buy tickets. Tickets, it's more than one meter and one meter no matter how you look at it... Four years old? It can't be four years old no matter how you look at it, if you cross the line, you will have a full ticket!"

At this moment, Duncan had walked into the crowd. He quickly walked through the platform and intersection with dense passers-by, tracking the figure in the black coat.

The man in black walked very fast. In the afternoon, the dense crowd of people on the side of the road made it easy for him to avoid the search. In fact, after only a few minutes, the figure had already left Duncan's field of vision.

However, the resonance of the sun badge is still there, and the "pointing sense" from the depths of the badge has always pointed Duncan in the right direction.

Duncan thought quickly as he followed the directions of the sun badge.

There is no doubt that the man in black is very suspicious. This badge must have sensed something to suddenly react... Perhaps, it sensed the same source of power from the "true sun god".

From the goat's head, he already knew that this badge has the function of identifying compatriots and guiding the "blessing of the sun", but under normal circumstances only the believers of the sun **** can use these functions or perceive the guiding effect of the badge.

Duncan used spirit fire to usurp control of the badge, but at the time he thought his flames also destroyed most of the badge's abilities, but now it seems... the badge's recognition ability is still there !

It's just that this recognition ability is now used by myself...

Under the guidance of the badge, he gradually left the main road with dense passers-by, and after three detours, he gradually walked into the deserted path.

He saw the suspicious figure again - the figure was walking quickly through the intersection ahead, and he didn't seem to notice that there was a stalker behind him.

Indistinctly, Duncan felt that the badge on his chest became a little hotter than before, and the resonance from it became clearer and stronger.

Duncan quietly drove the fire of the spirit body, read the information from the sun badge, and a large number of "perceptions" with clear direction immediately entered his mind.

This feeling is very subtle - although the sun badge does not have the characteristics of thinking, Duncan seems to feel that the badge is excited and excited to convey news to himself, telling himself that this person who does not believe in the sun god, other believers where.

He even wanted to remind this badge to be a little more reserved—at least it was a sacred relic of the Sun God not long ago, so the leading party wouldn't be so excited like a hand warmer at this time.

At the same time, he became more and more certain that he was approaching a secret meeting place where many followers of the sun **** gathered.

As he expected, there are more "sun heretics" gathering in the dark corners of this city-state, and the group of people who were killed in the sewers before are just some of these roach-like cultists That's it.

He didn't know what the cultists wanted to do, but he knew they must know more about ancient history, sun beliefs, and the Era of Order than Nina's teachers.

In order to understand the deeper secrets of this world, it is necessary to contact the forces in the supernatural realm. It is difficult for the church and city-state authorities to approach through normal means, but the cultists are much simpler - just get along with them.

Or just mash them together.

Duncan was thinking this when he stopped suddenly.

He has come to the end of a path, and the sneaky man in black has just got into a nearby intersection. The signal from the sun badge is clear and strong, and no passers-by can be seen nearby. .

Through the sun badge, he perceives that there are more "compatriot signals" approaching his position.

Duncan silently pulled up the lapel of his coat, covering half of his face in the collar—and almost the second he did this, he heard footsteps in the shadows of nearby buildings .

One figure after another appeared.

It was a dozen people, dressed like ordinary citizens - after all, no cultists would walk around in a robe in broad daylight~IndoMTL.com~ just like a normal assassin shouldn't wear The thief pulls the conspicuous white hoodie to the streets of the city.

Only the constant heat and directional signals from the sun badge convince him that one of these guys coming out of the surrounding is all followers of the real sun god.

Duncan raised his head, looked at the intersection at the end, and saw the man in black who had been tracked by him was also in it. The man was watching him with vigilance, and beside him, a tall and thin figure The thin young man whispered something to his companion before looking up here.

"This is private territory, what are you sneaking to follow?" the tall, thin man said, and he seemed to be trying to create a feeling of "there are ordinary citizens here, you are sneaky and talented." Suspicious", because he didn't know the details of Duncan's stalker, he neither acted rashly nor relaxed his vigilance.

Duncan muttered to himself that he was a layman who was not suitable for the professional work of tracking, and also wondered what these cultists were going to do with their tracker if they were acting stupid - they were planning to pretend to be a group of love Did the dedicated black and evil forces scare them away, or did they plan to develop the cult business diligently and tie themselves up to give their sun **** a meal?

"Didn't you hear it?" The tall and thin man frowned and said impatiently. At the same time as his voice fell, the figures around him also took a half step forward, faintly. Form a siege, "I'm asking you something..."

Duncan shrugged, took out the sun talisman from his arms, and said sincerely, "My own."

Let's mingle first, maybe there are too many words.

If they don't believe it, make it up.
