Deep Sea Embers Chapter 149: Behind the Curtain

On the outside, the community church that has been abandoned for an unknown number of years is brightly lit and clean and bright inside. At the same time, in Duncan's eyes, the brightly lit church is clearly superimposed as if "as if another fact". of dilapidated conditions.

This gives Duncan a feeling that this little church is like a "wrong space" superimposed on reality, or a forgotten place stuck in the middle of space and time, two diametrically opposite History met here, but this church stayed at the meeting point, and time within it did not move forward after that.

It was neither destroyed nor survived the fire.

So..the nun who is left alone in this church, do you know anything?

"It's been a long time since no one has come to visit this church," the nun in the black priest's robe repeated softly again, smiling and raising her head, but her eyes seemed to pass through Shirley, who was standing in front of her. And Duncan, "Where are you from? Unfamiliar face.. You are not residents here?"

There was a bright and warm scene in front of her, but Shirley suddenly shrank her neck under the smiling gaze of the nun. She felt a chill for some reason, and whispered nervously to Duncan: "...how do I feel? It's a weird place...it looks like it's run down from the outside, but inside it's..._"

Duncan didn't answer, just patted Shirley on the shoulder casually. From the girl's reaction, he had guessed that the other party should only see "one side" of the church, and most of it was not destroyed. That side, but now he doesn't know how to explain his conjecture to Shirley-

If Agou is released at this time, with the "eyes" of the hound, you should be able to see the real situation here, right?

It's just that until you understand the details of the nun in front of you, it's best not to let Shirley summon Agou rashly.

"We pass by here," Duncan said to the nun with the same expression, calmly, like a normal church visitor, "Have you been here all the time?,

"I? I've been living in this church," the nun nodded lightly, "I've been praying here, praying to the great being.

“But people on the block said that the nun in the church had not been back for a long time,” Duncan added, observing the reaction of the nun in front of him. It's like being abandoned.

Sister listened silently to Duncan's words, but did not react violently, as if her heart had calmed down for eternity.

She just gave a sly smile: "Oh yeah, but I've been here all the time...maybe they forgot to pray the day and thought the church wasn't open.

Duncan was noncommittal, but he had confirmed that it wasn't just the church that was at fault, but the entire sixth block outside the church.

This abandoned church is deep in the block. From the outside, it has been abandoned for more than ten years! For ordinary people in this world, the church is not only a way to provide spiritual wishes The place of residence—this is a functional facility for maintaining regional security and resisting evil forces after dark. It is also a place of recuperation for many civilians after encountering problems with gods or being troubled by waking dreams. Such an important facility is simply abandoned. For eleven years, the residents of the sixth block did not feel that there was anything wrong, but just said lightly, "The nun is not here recently"?

Imagine, if a community has been cut off from water and electricity for 11 years, but the local residents don't think there is anything wrong at all, and when outsiders ask, they just say "the water and electricity department has not worked recently", how strange it is situation!

As for the nuns in this church... Now Duncan is still not sure what the group of human-shaped grays that show their true form in his eyes from time to time is, but only through preliminary conversations, he can feel that the other party seems to be. ...and no hostility.

Not only is there no hostility, but her mind also seems to be in a very strange state. It cannot be said that she is irrational, but she is also not sane.

Duncan asked a few questions in a side-by-side manner, and the nun in the church answered calmly, and her calm answer itself was a manifestation of deliriousness.

Because under normal circumstances, a stranger suddenly ran into the church and grabbed the nun on duty to ask a lot of unrelated things, and the nun should have felt baffled.

She has reason - but not much.

"Are you going to pray? Or do you need help in exorcising evil spirits?

The nun smiled and asked in a soft voice.

"Thank you, but no need," Duncan shook his head, then looked around and asked casually, "By the way, what about the guardians of this church?

Every church should have a guard, and even the smallest community church in a ghetto has an army of guards sufficient to deal with the average threat, and this church should be no exception.

"The guards...the guards are resting in the church, and they don't show up until after dark," the nun smiled, "do you have anything to do with the guards?

Duncan didn't answer, but glanced slowly over the benches beside the nun.

In his field of vision, the phantoms of the fire destroying everything, the ashes and the ruins collapsing and stacking are superimposed like overlapping films in the brightly lit church, and in the other dimension of the superposition, there is no lack of some... Charred body.

"Are the guards resting there?" Duncan raised his hand and pointed not far away, and in Shelly's eyes, there were only two rows of empty benches.

The nun was stunned for a moment, looked in the direction of Duncan's finger, and after a moment said softly: ...they are sleeping. "

Duncan hummed, then asked casually, "Can we look around?"

"Of course, the church is open for viewing," the nun nodded lightly. "The two of you, please take care of yourself. I will continue to pray. If you need help, you can call me at any time.

After saying this, the strange nun really turned around and walked towards the statue of the goddess not far away, completely leaving Duncan and Shirley aside.

And until the nun left, Shirley, who had been nervous for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, she didn't care about being afraid of Duncan, because the ubiquitous and eerie atmosphere in the church had made the hidden Agou She was all restless, and the strange tension was directly transmitted to her mind through the connection of God, making her subconsciously move closer to Duncan: "What the... It looks normal, but nothing seems normal..

"There seem to be two churches here," Duncan said softly, explaining simply and bluntly, "-one has been burned, one is still intact, they are superimposed on this space and time at the same time, and the nuns in the church... ..Neither dead nor alive.

Shirley was stunned for a moment, and after half a minute, she whispered in confusion and shock: "What do you mean?

Duncan glanced at her and said, "Let's go back and read - I can teach you if it doesn't work.

He then walked into the depths of the church without waiting for Shirley's answer.

The nun said that the ~IndoMTL.com~ church is open for viewing, so of course he will "visit" at will.

Shirley froze behind her, and quickly followed in Duncan's footsteps as they crossed the neatly arranged benches and passed by the icon and prayer table at the end of the benches.

The serene nun was already kneeling in front of the image of the storm goddess, pressing her hands on her chest and praying to God, as if she had completely forgotten about the visitor, as if she had been kneeling on her knees for the past eleven years Here, uninterrupted prayer is maintained.

Duncan blinked, and the nun turned into a wriggling mass of human-shaped ashes again, piling up beside the charred and ruined prayer table, with sparks falling from the dome like fallen leaves.

He suddenly felt something, and looked up at the Storm Goddess statue above.

The icon wearing a long skirt stands quietly on the high platform, and there is a crack in the head of the icon!

In this brief moment, Duncan saw a bit of truth superimposed on the core of the double church. He clearly saw that a dark crack opened in the head of the statue of the goddess, and there was a faint chaotic light and shadow in the crack. It was like a horizontal horror-eyed child, the depths of its hole reflected a scene that should never belong to the real world, and the "sacredness" that should have been lingering on the statue of the goddess has long disappeared without a trace. On this strange and terrifying stone, there is only coldness and nothingness!

And in the next instant, the terrifying scene disappeared without a trace, and the icon of Gormona still stood quietly on the high platform, majestically overlooking the surroundings, exuding a reassuring and awe-inspiring Prestige.

The nun who was kneeling and praying in front of the goddess suddenly opened her eyes, turned her head slightly, and looked at Duncan calmly.

"Would you like to pray to the goddess?"
