Deep Sea Embers Chapter 100: Virtual and real in history
"Captain, are you sure this is really all right?" Alice nervously looked at the "Little Flame" in Duncan's hand, her hands constantly grasping the lace decorations around her clothes, "Don't burn my house down. ..."
Duncan held a mass of spirit fire in his hand, and while looking for a place to start beside Alice's "coffin", he looked back at the puppet helplessly: "My spirit fire is completely controlled— —Don't you believe in my power?"
Alice quickly waved her hand when she heard this: "I believe, I believe..."
Only then did Duncan retract his gaze and settle down.
Under the current conditions on the Lost Homes, it is impossible to conduct a complete test of Alice's "coffin", but this does not mean that he can't do some "preliminary research" first, before his own understanding of the spiritual body. Now that the control of the fire has become more and more proficient, he has vaguely found some ways to use the flame to explore the secrets of the supernatural.
He still didn't dare to use this flame on Alice lightly, but if it was used to study her wooden box... that would be another matter.
After some preparations, Duncan finally reached out his hand slowly, extending a cluster of flames from his fingertips to the surface of the ornate wooden box.
The flame was like an illusory reflection, silently sinking into the box. Alice widened her eyes and carefully observed the movement in front of her. After a short two or three seconds of silence, she saw a phantom-like flame Suddenly spread out in the field of vision——
The fire of the spirit body begins to burn on the wooden box, burning from the inside out! The entire box showed a translucent texture in the blink of an eye, and in this illusory scene, the flaming flames began to quickly fill every detail in the box, as if reconstructing its "skeleton" structure!
"Hey, Captain, Captain, it's burning up!"
The puppet made a fuss, but she didn't get a response to her bluff—Duncan has now focused his attention on the manipulation of the flame and the perception of the "coffin", and he watched with a solemn expression. The flames and the illusory wooden box were beating in front of her eyes, and Alice's voice came from her ear, as if it came from another world.
Duncan's mind is gradually calming down. He feels that the surrounding is getting quieter and quieter. Even the endless waves of the endless sea seem to be gradually moving away from his perception. He feels his power seep into a very vast "place". ”, and more and more “perceptions” are being passed into one’s own consciousness through the channel established by the flame——
This is a very different feeling than when he used fire to transform the Sun Talisman!
If I had to use an analogy, transforming the Sun Talisman with flames gave him the feeling that it was as easy as filling a water glass, but at this moment he felt that his flames were pouring into a large lake, and the volume of the two was completely absent. a level.
This is the difference between a mass-produced extraordinary item and a 099-ranked anomaly?
Duncan suddenly realized something in his heart, and in this flash of thought, he suddenly felt that the connection of the flames had finally reached a certain peak - the transmission of power suddenly became smooth like a river, and then, the turbulent " Memory" floods into the mind!
The sound of the waves...the waves are slapping against the unfamiliar coastline, the cold wind is blowing the high walls, the towering walls are standing in the distance, vaguely like frozen, and the crowd...swaying , a dim, silhouetted crowd...
Duncan's vision floated somewhere, it seemed to be two or three meters above the ground in the air. He looked around in astonishment, but only saw strange city-states and high platforms on the coastline. The clear shadows seemed to be a crowd of shadows, but none of them could be seen clearly.
The humming sound came from all directions. It seemed to be the sound of people whispering, but it was surprisingly loud and noisy. Duncan tried to distinguish it, and finally found that it was not the sound of people talking at all, but a number of Qing's "heart voice" is the chaotic thoughts in the mind, the self-talk in the tense and depressed atmosphere, the prayer to the gods and the petition in fear.
Those "shadows" didn't speak, but their voices swept across the coastal plateau like a storm.
Duncan's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around abruptly.
Under the pale and dim sky in the distance, he saw a towering object.
A guillotine—its sharp blade glows icy in the dim light.
With the little historical knowledge in his mind and the origin behind Anomaly 099, Duncan already realized where he was.
He looked under the guillotine, and it seemed that as his cognition gradually stabilized, a vague figure under the guillotine quickly became clear.
He saw the Queen, the Frost Queen who was executed by the rebels half a century ago - her silver hair was like waterfalls, her lavender eyes were still bright in the dim, she was dressed slightly in the cold wind The thin dress, but gritted his teeth so that his body did not tremble at all.
She has exactly the same face as Alice.
Duncan felt a little weird in his heart. He looked at the lady who had exactly the same appearance as Alice. Although he knew that this was the "normal body" in history, he couldn't help but preconceived the idea of the ship in his mind. The figure of the puppet jumping around, and the next second, a voice suddenly came from nowhere interrupted his thoughts——
"Your time is up, Frost Queen."
This voice was cold and distant, but it sounded beside the guillotine as if it had penetrated the curtain of history.
The next second, Duncan saw two phantoms suddenly appear beside the guillotine. The two phantoms came to the Queen of Frost and seemed to want to press the Queen's arm to make her kneel under the guillotine. The queen's figure remained motionless, and the two tall phantoms were as weak as children.
Duncan heard the surrounding noise suddenly become more turbulent than before, and the countless dark shadows suddenly shook, and even some clear shouts were mixed in the middle - the cold and distant voice before was again It sounded, this time it seemed to be a little more angry: "Quiet! Maintain order in the execution ground!"
More phantoms emerged around the guillotine. The Queen of Frost was finally suppressed under the cold torture apparatus. She knelt down in the icy dust, but still raised her head, calmly watching the distant city-state's The high wall, and above her neck, the sharp and heavy blade began to rise gradually with the creaking sound of the winch...
Duncan frowned. Even though he knew it was just a phantom recorded in history, he subconsciously stepped forward when looking at the face of "Alice" and wanted to reach out...
But just at the moment when he "moved", the Queen of Frost under the guillotine suddenly turned her head slightly - she was staring at Duncan's position, at the time and space where she was supposed to be In an empty place, she opened her mouth and said clearly and softly:
"Whoever you are, please don't pollute history."
Duncan stopped in astonishment, and then, even more astonished, he heard someone screaming beside the guillotine: "Who are you talking to?!"
Queen Frost had already withdrawn her gaze. She seemed to suddenly want to understand something. A relieved smile appeared on her cold face. She turned her head and seemed to be saying to the executioner beside her, "Go ahead. , before the sun goes down."
The guillotine fell suddenly ~IndoMTL.com~ The endless darkness suddenly surged from all directions, the visions of history began to tear into pieces, and Duncan felt his connection to "here" was rapidly weakening, he knew , this scene of "echoes" has come to an end, and in the illusion that is constantly breaking away, he can still hear some noisy and broken voices, those voices are suddenly far and near, he can only vaguely hear a few fragments of them— —
"...The Queen of Frost is dead, and we have cut off the channel for Homeless to return to the real world..."
"...Lee Nora is trying to build a second homeless ship...she colluded with the shadows of the warp, the evidence is solid, and there is more than one death..."
"...The new Archon will soon restore order, and all materials related to the 'Potential' exploration plan will be destroyed... Active whistleblowers still have a chance to be forgiven..."
"Follow the treacherous ship Sea Mist and the defected navy with all their might... life and death... Wait, what sound... leave, this place is going to collapse!"
Exclamations, shouts, loud noises of giants breaking and collapsing, roaring waves...
Duncan suddenly escaped from this endless darkness, as if returning to the sea from a deep dive. At the end of the darkness, what he heard was a series of loud bangs that sounded as if the whole cliff was rising from the coastline. It collapsed and fell into the sea.
He witnessed a piece of history with his own eyes and heard it fall into nothingness in the dark.
He saw an apparition in history, and the apparition begged him not to contaminate history.
He slowly opened his eyes, saw the familiar cabin, heard the familiar sound of waves, he also saw the familiar doll sitting on the head of the bed, unplugging his head with a "Boom", and then "Boom". Bo'er" shoved it back and had a lot of fun.
Duncan: "...?"
