Deep Sea Embers Chapter 74: Have an insider, terminate the transaction

Duncan didn't end up digging any more memories from his mind.

Although the original owner of this body did care about Nina, and things related to Nina were indeed the deepest memories in his mind, years of illness and the abuse of spirits and drugs have seriously damaged it. These things, when the cultist named Ron exhaled his last breath, there were not many warm memories of his family left in his numb mind.

Only one thing is certain. Eleven years ago, there was a fire in the lower part of the city. The fire took the lives of Nina's biological parents and permanently changed the trajectory of the child's life.

This may be a coincidence, but it is more likely that this incident is really related to the "sun fragments" that these sun believers are looking for.

An accidental sun fragment caused a fire in the city. Innocent citizens lost their lives. A child was orphaned in the fire. Years later, the child's only surviving relatives degenerated into following the sun. One of the cultists of the Fragment...

Somewhere in the world, there seems to be a sinful relationship, which revolves around the sun, as if trapped in gravity.

At this moment, someone from the surrounding believers suddenly spoke, interrupting Duncan's thoughts: "I have inquired about the situation among the surrounding residents these days. What a well-known fire... Some people mentioned that there was a leak in a factory that year, and the poisonous gas from the storage tank spread for several blocks, causing many people to fall into hallucinations and go crazy, and this incident was even in the newspapers at the time. "

Duncan looked up in surprise and saw that the speaker was an ordinary-looking female believer.

But before he could seriously think about what the other party said, he noticed that the cult leader's eyes turned to him: "My compatriot, you happen to be a local here, do you know the situation in this regard?"

Duncan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he had become the focus of the scene-for this group of out-of-town believers who were trying to collect information, he, a local who "lived in the lower town of Prand", was undoubtedly a very important person. Good source of information!

Noticing a few glances coming from around him, he thought for a moment before thinking about his words: "I didn't live here eleven years ago, so I don't know the specifics, but the leaks from the factory have indeed been mentioned. ..."

While perfunctory like this, he looked at the female believer who spoke up just now: "Eleven years ago, did there really be any fires in Xiacheng?"

"At least as far as I've heard, it's like this," the believer nodded, "According to what I heard, there hasn't been a relatively large fire in the lower town of Prand for at least 20 years. … small fires such as kitchen fires do exist, but that’s obviously out of the question.”

Duncan blinked, but said nothing.

He clearly remembered that Nina's parents died in the fire eleven years ago! The memory fragments in his mind even had a picture of "himself" taking Nina out of the fire!

Where did this go wrong? Did this body get confused when it inherited its memory? Or that the fire was not in the lower city? Or... just because the cultist in front of him couldn't find out the real situation...

He had a faint doubt in his heart, because the matter involved Nina and "self", he subconsciously paid attention to this matter, and at this moment, he heard another voice from the opposite side, it was the Girl named Shirley: "The factory leak 11 years ago...was it the sixth block?"

"The sixth block? Well... it seems right," the female believer nodded. "It is said that this incident had a great impact at the time, because the chemical substances left many people with sequelae, and many residents in the Xiacheng District are still today. I still remember it."

A few believers next to him nodded in agreement, and it seemed that they had also heard about the same situation.

"The factory leaked..." The leader in the center of the assembly hall suddenly broke the silence, and the deep and dignified voice also interrupted the conversation between the church members, "The production accident on the bright side is most likely disguised by the authorities. Extraordinary event, and it happened to be this node eleven years ago... This is a very important clue. Next, we will investigate in this direction to see if the so-called factory leak is behind the sacred sun debris."

The believers at the scene immediately nodded their orders, and then the masked leader said: "In addition, we should not only pay attention to the extraordinary events that happened in the lower city eleven years ago, but also pay attention to the recent period of Prand. Something unusual in a city-state.

"Although the sun shard is still dormant, its day of awakening is approaching, and its activity is increasing every day. Four years ago, our fellow churchmen attempted to awaken the shard early, although that attempt failed at the time. , and even led to the crazy strangulation of the Deep Sea Church due to the failure of the ritual, but the attempt at that time was not completely ineffective - the stimulation of the awakening ritual further deepened the connection between the sun fragments and the real world, which was enough for a short period of time before the complete awakening. Time has the power to interfere with reality, which may help us find it.

"Recently, I have paid more attention to the newspapers in the city-state and the rumors in the streets. All seemingly unusual events may point to the sun debris. Don't let any clues go, understand?"

The cultists bowed their heads and respectfully accepted the order, while Duncan noticed another key point mentioned by the leader:

Four years ago!

Four years ago, the deep-sea church of the Prand city-state indeed destroyed the largest sun heresy stronghold in the city in one fell swoop. After the war—and after that, the Sun Cultists in this city were completely devastated, until today.

All along, Duncan has only known this part of the superficial information. Now it seems that the truth of this matter is because the Sun Cultists in the city wanted to wake up the sun fragments that were sleeping somewhere in advance? !

Unconsciously, a series of hidden truths in the past were revealed in front of Duncan. He quickly assembled the known pieces of information in his mind, while thinking about how to get more information from these cultists , but at this moment, a strange smell suddenly penetrated into his nostrils.

It smelled like burning sulfur, mixed with a sour and pungent smell like some kind of chemical.

The next second, the surrounding ordinary believers also smelled this pungent and obvious smell. Some people looked at each other, as if looking for the source of the smell. The leader standing in the center of the assembly hall reacted instantly. He suddenly took out a talisman imitating the sun from his arms - the talisman was exactly the same as the sun talisman carried by Duncan, and its surface was burning with an illusory translucent flame!

The pungent smell came from the flames.

"Dirty impurities...the flames have been deceived!" The leader glanced at the burning sun talisman, and his voice suddenly burst into anger, "There is a heresy lurking among us!"

There was an uproar at the scene. Duncan's first reaction was that he had been exposed~IndoMTL.com~ Although he didn't know how he was exposed, the sun amulet on the leader's body seemed to finally recognize him, who didn't believe in the sun at all. "heresy".

Thinking of this, he sighed slightly and was about to release the pigeons, but before he could move, he heard another sigh coming from the opposite side—

The sigh came from the girl in a black dress, a girl named Shirley, who shook her head regretfully: "I knew Agou was unreliable, and the disguise wouldn't last for three hours."

Before he finished speaking, a dark flame suddenly burst into flames beside the girl!

The flame was born out of thin air, with the shape of fire, but it was dark like a shadow. It ignited on the girl's arm, and spread to nearly one-third of her body within a second. The next moment, Shirley The right half of his body seemed to have been turned into the firewood of a black fire. During the crackling sound, the flames flowed down, and the part in the air turned into a dark chain, and the part that fell on the ground condensed into a skeleton in the blink of an eye. A jagged, burning monster!

It was a pitch-black demon dog, a huge dog that was half the height of a human. Its body seemed to be made of countless twisted and stacked bones, but the place that should be flesh and blood was filled with burning black fire And the wriggling shadow, its head is hideous, the place that should be the eyes is empty, there is only a blood-red mist inside, full of boundless hunger and malice!

A pitch-black chain extended from the neck of the giant dog to Shirley's arm, and it was faintly integrated with the girl's body.

"The Hound of the Darkness... the Summoner of the Obliteration Sect?!" The leader in the center of the assembly hall was furious when he saw this scene, "What does this mean?! You guys who worship the Darkness are going to fight against the followers of the sun. ?!"
