Deep Sea Embers Chapter 73: Incomplete memory

Duncan quickly withdrew his gaze from the golden mask, and let himself drop his eyes slightly like the ordinary believers around him, as if he was ready to listen to the teaching seriously.

He hasn't heard anything useful to bring the cult's attention prematurely.

And at the moment of bowing his head, the feeling of being swept by people's eyes came over again.

Duncan frowned slightly and followed his senses. Sure enough, it was the girl in a black dress with a strange bell around her neck who was secretly observing herself—and when she turned her eyes, she didn't move. He turned his head timidly.

This made Duncan very suspicious.

He was sure that he didn't know the other person, and there was no information about the girl left in the memory of the original owner of this body - why would a follower of the sun **** who met for the first time pay close attention to him so often?

Is it because the pigeons on your shoulders are really unique?

He just thought about it for a while, and then he heard the voice of the leader of the believers suddenly coming from the front - after wearing the golden mask, the leader has become the incarnation of some kind of divine power, even the voice when speaking He looked low and majestic, and he didn't know if it was because he deliberately controlled his voice, or if the mask really mixed another consciousness into his voice:

"The prayer is over, the Lord has witnessed our piety and reverence - grace has shone upon our souls, brothers and sisters, be grateful, we have persisted in this difficult and dark world for one more day, and we will be far away. The day when the scorching sun is reborn and the order is recast is one more day."

The "priest" wearing a golden mask opened his hands and said in a very deceptive tone, and then his eyes suddenly fell on the corner of the believers, and his tone was calm and close.

"But before today's meeting, we first want to welcome two compatriots - they were once trapped in darkness in difficult times, but thanks to the Lord's guidance, they were able to return to the group... Be yourself Let me introduce, it's easy."

Two compatriots?

Duncan suddenly remembered that the leader seemed to have really told him just now that he was not the only stranger in this assembly hall, and then he looked in the direction the leader was looking at - he saw The girl in the black dress.

For some reason, he wasn't surprised.

"You can call me Shirley," the girl naturally took a half step forward and said generously, "My parents are both believers, but unfortunately they were killed by the minions of the Deep Sea Church four years ago. Hiding in the Cross Street, I have never been in contact with other siblings... Fortunately, you are here."

Her voice is not too loud, and she sounds quiet and well-behaved. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be difficult to associate such a child with a **** cult.

"Welcome back to our midst, young sisters," the leader nodded, then looked at the surrounding believers, "Sherry's parents were killed by the church purge four years ago. Her parents' names were found on that year's list—another compatriot followed."

The leader's gaze finally fell on Duncan.

"Duncan, lives in the lower city," Duncan had already prepared, and took a step forward calmly. "A few days ago, the Deep Sea Church destroyed a sacrifice ceremony in the sewers. I am a survivor."

He said very briefly, but his attitude was sincere and frank enough. Moreover, the news of the Deep Sea Church's raid on the sewer cult stronghold was well known and occupied the front pages of several newspapers. Therefore, as soon as his words fell, there were a few cultists around him. When the voice started to talk, the leader in the center of the assembly hall nodded and added the situation: "This is also a tried and tested compatriot, after experiencing the mutilation of those hyenas in the Deep Sea Church, he is still trying his best to return to the Lord's life. Embrace—He has the blessed emblem as a token, which is trustworthy."

The leader's voice fell, and the followers who didn't understand the situation immediately cast their eyes on Duncan. Some nodded and others sighed. Duncan continued to cover most of his face and recite the multiplication table upside down...

"The brief introduction is over." At this time, the leader finally spoke about the part that Duncan was interested in. "Then we will announce the latest situation."

Duncan's ears perked up immediately.

"...At present, a large number of compatriots are still gathering in this city-state, including ordinary believers with firm beliefs, as well as powerful messengers and priests. Our strength in this city-state is gradually increasing. The day for the restoration of order is approaching...

"But it is undeniable that the minions of the Deep Sea Church have also reacted. Recently, the city-state authorities have become more and more strict with the investigation of foreign populations. Several of our gathering points have also been destroyed by the authorities. Therefore, brothers and sisters who are active in the city. We must be careful, the collection of sacrifices can be slowed down - the Son of the Lord has sent a decree, the strength we have collected recently is more than half, and there are still vacancies, and the Son of the Lord will solve it by himself..."

The surrounding believers seemed to be greatly moved, and they began to praise the love and greatness of the sun god. Duncan immediately thought of the sacrifice ceremony he saw in the sewers before - these cultists, Sure enough, he was using that ritual to gather power, and it sounded like... that the group of behind-the-scenes manipulators called "Heirs of the Sun" actually participated in person this time?

At present, the power collected by this group of cultists seems to be insufficient, because the town hall and church of Prand have already noticed their activities, but if those children are also involved in battle... the plan of this group of cultists may still be Keep going!

At this moment, he heard the leader continue: "...Our main task at present is to determine the specific location of the sun fragments. Remember, our goal is always to make the real sun **** reappear in the world, And retrieving the lost sun fragments is the most important part!"

Duncan's heart skipped a beat—shards of the sun? What the **** is that?

Could a stack of Sun Shards make the Spear of Adun bigger?

He felt the pigeon on his shoulder suddenly restless, and Aye let out a low cooing sound from his throat as he shook his body vigorously.

Through the connection from the fire of the spirit body, he could vaguely feel what the pigeon wanted to do.

It wants to push, push loudly, and wants Duncan to take the Solar Axe and regroup a wave of troops.

But it can't speak - it's just a dove here.

This makes it frustrating.

"Quiet." Duncan could only whisper, and at the same time rubbed the back of his hand on the pigeon's head to appease, at the same time, a cultist closer to the leader asked: "We can now be sure The approximate location of the sun debris? Is there any way to... detect it?"

"The sun fragment is currently in a sleeping state and cannot be detected by any means," the leader shook his head, "but the Lord has given guidance, and the fragment should be hiding near the lower city of Prand. Also consider There are new compatriots joining today, I will explain the situation again:

"According to the information we have obtained, the fragment first appeared in the human world 11 years ago ~IndoMTL.com~ and it is very likely that it caused some kind of extraordinary phenomenon on a large scale-maybe a large-scale fire, It may be an abnormally high fever in the entire block, or it may be a collective spontaneous combustion of the human body, a group hallucination, and this is the direction of our current investigation.

"The city-state authorities have detailed information about extraordinary phenomena over the years, and the great gods have been trying to find these records. Some ordinary people living in the lower city may also remember the 'weird' that happened here eleven years ago. Our mission is to collect clues in this area to infer the location of the sun's debris.

"But be careful, all inquiries must be careful. Although the authorities' management of the lower city has always been loose, the hyenas of the Deep Sea Church sometimes have a very sensitive sense of smell... They have been alerted."

The leader explained the current situation to the surrounding church members, and Duncan's mind was also spinning quickly. He especially paid attention to the time point "eleven years ago"-according to the leader, eleven years ago , was the day when something extraordinary called a "shard of the sun" appeared, but Duncan noticed it was because of something else.

Eleven years ago, Nina lost her parents at the age of six.

It seems to be because of a fire.

Is it just a coincidence? Is there such a good coincidence?

Duncan worked hard to sort out the messy and broken memories in his mind, but most of these memories have been dissipated with the death of the original owner of the body. He tried hard to recall, but he could only remember one or two vague Fragment: The original owner of his body rushed out of the fire, holding his dying niece in his arms, a building that could not be seen was burning and collapsing behind him, and in the distance, there was a distorted, dim, phantom-like city The streets, countless frenzied people screaming and running in the streets...
