Deep Sea Embers Chapter 78: The finishing touches and the self-consciousness of a good citizen

Duncan's thinking was fruitless, because he didn't know where to find a second Sun Cultist who was still breathing to test his conclusions.

This kind of thing depends on fate.

Duncan stood up slowly. In the basement, one after another, the faint green spirit lights swayed in the airtight space without wind. In the shadowy light and shadow, his thoughts slowly spread.

Believers who believe in gods and receive blessings may be regarded by spirit fire as a "supernatural object", so what about ordinary people?

This flame burns on ordinary people. In addition to the "light and shadow special effects" on the surface, can it have more effects? If not, to what extent do you have to believe in gods to be regarded by this flame as an "extraordinary target" that can take effect? Cultists who believe in evil gods can burn, but what about those who believe in righteous gods?

Duncan calmly looked at the dim lights in the room and suddenly smiled faintly.

"They are people."

So all thinking stopped in thinking, and he did not continue on this line of thought.

This flame is a powerful force. A strong force is not guilty in itself, but a weak will is very likely to lead to depravity. Since discovering that he possesses a power beyond imagination, Duncan has always Forgot to remind myself of this - no matter how famous "Captain Duncan" is, no matter how powerful the fire of the spirit body is, he must always be alert to the boundaries of himself as a "human".

He can't treat people like people in order to test or master his own power - even in this different world, even if he's not necessarily facing "human beings" in the standard sense.

It's one thing to take action in battle, but it's another thing to try out the weak in order to satisfy curiosity.

Duncan let out a light breath, looked at the green fireball still burning in his hand, and waved it away.

The flames obeyed his orders faithfully, dissipating silently into the air.

Duncan smiles - he is, and always will be, the owner of the flame.

After the fire of the spirit body dissipated, the environment in the basement quickly returned to normal, and the dim green lights returned to the bright and clear appearance one by one. Duncan looked around and saw Looking at this messy scene, thinking about what to do next.

The odd girl named Shirley is gone and seems to have escaped by some otherworldly means, he doesn't know anything about it and doesn't know where to find her - which is a shame.

He still has a lot of questions to ask, and now it seems that he has no chance.

But Duncan always felt that he might meet the girl again - not a baseless guess, but because the girl's purpose was obviously to cause trouble for the Sun Cultists. Helping the cultists to inquire about something, and recently, the activities of the Sun Cultists in the Prand city-state are at their peak, and there will be countless similar gatherings in the shadows, acting in the style of Shirley and "Agou"...

Sooner or later, they're going to make a really hilarious mess.

Duncan has a sun emblem on his body that has usurped authority. He can sense the activities of the Sun Cultists in the city. Although it seems that the perception range of this thing is not too large at present, as long as he is idle and has nothing to do, he can walk around the city. , maybe you will be able to encounter new fun.

As for the mess here, Duncan is not interested in helping to clean it up.

He just picked up the golden mask left by the Sun Priest from the ashes on the ground, and wiped off the ashes and dust on its surface - this is his trophy, to be brought to the Lost Country. Research.

The priest was burnt cleanly, and all the objects related to the supernatural realm on his body were turned into ashes. The sun mask was the only "relic" he left in this world.

"...It's good to say that the talisman is the size of a slap, the size of this thing may be a little big..." After holding the sun mask and weighing it for a few times, Duncan muttered thoughtfully, "And in case of encountering The professionals of the Deep Sea Church may even be detected by special means..."

It is difficult to bring this mask safely back to the antique store, and even if it is brought back, it may be discovered by Nina, and some troubles will inevitably arise at that time.

The best way is to send it directly to a place of absolute safety.

While thinking about it, Duncan turned his head and looked at the pigeon that was parked on his shoulder. He had a brand new test idea - without himself moving together, this pigeon could walk alone in the spiritual world. Bring something back to the Lost Homes?

The pigeon tilted its head and looked at Duncan with big eyes and small eyes: "Eighty with a sledgehammer and forty with a small hammer!"

Duncan Yile: "Just work overtime, and I'll find a way to get you some fries on the boat later - try and see if you can bring this mask to the Homeless."

The pigeon flapped its wings immediately, and while flying towards the mask in Duncan's hand, it made a distinctive high-pitched female voice: "I wanted to refuse, but you gave too much!"

Before he finished speaking, Duncan saw a flash of light and shadow in front of his eyes, and the dove and the mask disappeared from his field of vision at the same time - and in the perception deep in his consciousness, he clearly felt that Ai's breath suddenly appeared in the in the captain's quarters of the Homeless.

The delay before and after is almost less than a second!

This pigeon is so fast! It turns out that it can transfer items so quickly?

As soon as Duncan sighed this sentence in his heart, he felt a flower in front of his eyes, and Ay in the form of a bone dove jumped out of the air and landed on his shoulders - the bird flapped its wings, and the body of the undead re-formed As a white dove, he raised his neck triumphantly: "Successful transmission!"

Duncan nodded inwardly when he saw the state of the other party when he jumped out, and felt that the matter was reasonable: it is only natural that the bone pigeon is faster than Ai.

Then he sorted out his clothes and confirmed that there were no suspicious bloodstains left on his body, and there was no trace of himself at the scene (in fact, he didn't touch anything since he entered the door, for fear of leaving fingerprints and the like) , Then he carefully opened the iron door with his fingers on his clothes, and returned to the outside through the walking ladder.

The sun, bounded by the double rune circle, has gradually sank to the horizon, and the magnificent sunset spreads along the jagged roofs of the lower city, and in the sunset, the pale cracks in the highest part of the sky are looming. .

Duncan saw the sky and immediately gave up the idea of ​​continuing to investigate in the city - Nina was going home from school soon.

The kid's "Uncle Duncan" is just getting better, and he can't stay home at night.

Duncan quickly left the abandoned factory and walked towards the main road along the route he remembered. He passed through the twisting alleys and the intersection of the pipes filled with the strange smell of sewage, and finally gradually Hearing the sound of the heavy traffic coming from a distance.

It's not completely dark yet, and the last bus should be able to catch up.

But Duncan stopped abruptly.

At the intersection not far ahead, he saw four men in uniform - two of them in dark blue sheriff's garb with epaulettes, with batons and revolvers around their waists~IndoMTL.com~Additionally The two of them wore black coats with a slightly church-style shape, which were between a trench coat and a formal dress. Not only could they see the holster of a large revolver at their waists, but they could also see a steel long sword that seemed out of tune with the current era.

The two men in long black coats had something else prominent around their waists: a lantern adorned with runes, apparently for night watch.

The four people in uniform at the intersection seemed to be handing over work. Duncan was stunned for a moment and quickly responded:

They are sheriffs attached to the city hall and guardians of the church.

The sheriff maintains the order of the city by day, and the guardian protects the peace of the city-state in the night. Now that the sun is slowly sinking, the time of day and night is approaching - the time when the world and theocracy exchange places.

This is a unique "landscape" in this world.

The four didn't seem to notice Duncan.

Duncan walked over calmly - although he hesitated for a moment, he quickly realized that he had a clear conscience.

A law-abiding citizen does not commit a crime by walking outside while it is still dark.

A church guard who was carrying out the handover finally noticed the figure walking towards him. The tall young man raised his head and immediately waved his hand to remind him loudly after seeing Duncan: "Citizen! It's getting dark, Go home as soon as possible, it's not safe outside."

"Gentlemen! I'll report the situation to you," Duncan stepped up and said sincerely after walking over, "I heard a lot of noise from the abandoned factory over there just now, and earlier I also saw a lot of sneaky guys coming in and out there..."

Speaking of this, he paused, and then added: "I read the newspaper before and said that everyone should actively report abnormal gatherings and abnormal noises around them..."
