Deep Sea Embers Chapter 165: Lucrecia’s pressure

Accompanied by a series of weird noises, the clockwork man was completely stiff and still like a rusted machine, and almost at the same time, Lucrecia, who was in a nearby cabin, noticed the abnormality of her creation.

The door of the cabin was suddenly pushed open, and a stack of flying colored paper rolled into the room like a whirlwind, and condensed into a human shape while circling. "Sea Witch" Lucrecia stepped out of the colored paper, and the first At a glance, I saw Luni, who had slipped and sat by the table, her head bowed.

"Luni?" Lucrecia stepped forward quickly, and immediately found the clockwork key that had fallen on the floor next to her. She picked up the key and slapped the clockwork doll again. The switch on the back, "What happened?"

There was a series of intermittent creaking sounds from inside Luni, and after a while, some of her parts finally returned to work, and a badly out-of-tune voice sounded from her chest: "Old master... looking for You..."

With a bang, the clockwork key in Lucrecia's hand fell to the ground.

Luni turned her head in response to the sound, instinctively reached out and groped for her clockwork key, trying to reinsert it on her back, but she was only halfway through and got stuck again, and there was a sound of gear idling Then it sounded.

Lucrecia's face changed sharply. When she heard the words "Old Master", her pupils shook for a while, but the sound of malfunction in Luni's body still woke her up quickly, and she shook violently. Shaking his head, while forcibly suppressing his chaotic thoughts, he hugged the shoulders of the clockwork doll: "Luni, stand by."

The clockwork puppet slowly closed her eyes: "Instruction received, Luni began to stand by."

A moment later, deep in the cabin of the Bright Star, in a brightly lit cabin, Lucrecia was busy beside the workbench.

This is a laboratory that can be evaluated as "complete and advanced" even if it is placed at the headquarters of the Institute of Truth. The spacious room is equipped with sophisticated mechanical devices and pressures used to power various equipment. Pipes, and among the countless machines, you can see auxiliary equipment scattered with magic runes, as well as many crystal containers or reactors that are emitting shimmering light, and a dozen automaton puppets are taking care of these automatic operations. The device allows Lucrecia to focus on the work in front of her.

In front of the "Witch of the Sea", Luni was lying quietly on the large workbench.

The clockwork puppet has been disassembled, and the outer shell of the imitation maid's costume is now put aside. The skeleton constructed of fine gold and various mechanical components made of brass are almost covered with the platform. Only the part above her chest remained intact, which was placed on the edge of the platform. She stared blankly at her dismantled body, blinking occasionally.

"Okay... Xiu...?" A slightly out-of-tune voice came from Luni's chest.

"Don't worry, it's just that the transmission mechanism suddenly got stuck and the bearings were deformed," Lucrecia was busy without raising her head, "The amount of work is huge, but the maintenance process itself is not complicated - your heart, No damage."

Luni slowly rolled her eyes and saw the "heart" placed in the center of the workbench.

It is a delicate brass ball, made of countless complex and precise metal pieces. It floats quietly above a pile of parts. The metal pieces on its surface change position from time to time, revealing the structure inside. When the angle is right, you can clearly see that the inside of the sphere is engraved with shining runes, and a more slender thing is floating in the center of those runes.

It was a finger—a very slender, very fragile finger, smaller than the finger of a human child, crafted by a puppet master a hundred years ago.

That is the real core of the "Luni" doll, the real essence - the last proof that a doll born a hundred years ago remained in this world.

Lucrecia noticed Luni's gaze, she glanced up, and the movement of her hands suddenly stopped.

After a while, she resumed her busy work, and at the same time seemed to inadvertently said: "I have transformed you into this shape, have you ever resented?"

"Luni...why be resentful?" The doll head on the workbench made a dull voice, "The mistress... gave Luni her life, and Luni...is happy for this..."

"But it was all just on my own whim at first—and for that whim, I destroyed your original body," Lucrecia said lightly. For a long time, I didn't realize that you had a real ability to think because of the influence of the frontier, at that time I just thought you were a machine, and made many reckless 'experimental transformations of you."

Luni did not respond to her mistress, but suddenly said after a moment of silence: "Your emotions are tense, you have something on your mind—a mistress under normal circumstances would not suddenly say these inexplicable words."

Lucrecia was silent for two or three seconds: "...Do you remember what you said just now? After I just arrived at the restaurant and woke you up."

"...Memory retrieval failed, Luni doesn't remember."

"You told me, 'The old master is looking for me.'

A series of strange noises came from the clockwork doll's chest, not due to malfunction, but due to confused thinking.

"You really don't remember?" Lucrecia raised her head and looked into Luni's eyes quietly.

"Failed to retrieve memory, Luni doesn't remember."

"...Then it seems that my terrible father didn't want me to have any chance to spy on him backwards," Lucrecia said with a complicated smile on her face as she slowly removed the A set of deformed gears, the tone was a little erratic, "He just sent a one-sided signal, telling me...he knows where the Brilliant Star is, and he knows how to find me..."

"You are afraid."

"Fear to death—but more of a...sadness than fear."

"Sad? Why?"

Lucrecia looked into Luni's eyes and shook her head after a long while: "This is too complicated for you, and I'm afraid you can't understand it now."

"Okay, Luni will try to understand in the future," replied the clockwork doll, before asking again, "Do you think the old master is giving you some kind of warning?"

"...I don't know, but it's really like a warning," Lucrecia whispered, "even like some kind of pre-hunt declaration...he's back from the warp, and he Even more elusive when I return, maybe I should remind my brother..."

"You should indeed remind Mr. Tirian that he has set out for Perland, and the Archon of Perland has said that Homeless is approaching the city-state."

Lucrecia nodded lightly, and said nothing more, just kept her head down and busy.

……

Duncan carefully placed "Nelou" in the antique wooden box and put the feather-shaped hairpin back in the drawer.

Then he looked at the wooden box where "Nilu" was stored and was worried.

As a big man, he always felt like there was something wrong with putting a girly doll in his bedroom.

But he can't seem to think of a better place than in his own bedroom.

Although the first test failed to achieve much, and no clues to the supernatural were found in the doll of "Nelu", this is a matter related to "Lucrecia" after all , since he wasn't sure whether she could be of any use in the future, he didn't dare to put this doll out of his sight.

After a bit of a tangle, Duncan sighed and temporarily put the "Luni" suitcase on his bedside.

"If you really have something special, show your hands as soon as possible, right," he looked at the gorgeous antique wooden box and shook his head gently, "Don't be like Alice, you have to throw it into the sea to perform something Riding the wind and waves, the coffin charges."

The crate didn't respond, of course, but Duncan didn't care either.

He went to the window and glanced at the sky outside.

Night has fallen, and the pale and dim light of the creation of the world is shining on the boundless sea.

The powerful exorcism power brought by the sun has subsided in the real world, and those distorted, ominous and corrosive forces are gradually rising in the whole world. At this time, human beings will enter the dreamland to avoid the world's influence on reason. interference.

But for Duncan...he never felt any discomfort in the night, nor did he see the shadows that make ordinary people dread.

Night is when his mind is at its sharpest.

He returned to the desk, quietly spread out a piece of white paper, and took a pen from the side.

These are all things just bought from the city-state of Prand.

After pondering for a while, he wrote down lines of text on the paper:

In 1889 ~IndoMTL.com~ debris from the sun appeared, causing the Great Fire;

Under the veil of the Sixth Block factory lies a "reality" destroyed by fire;

There is a distorted space-time that seems to be a closed loop in the sixth block community church, and two diametrically opposed realities are superimposed in the church;

The origin of Ah Gou's "humanity" is unknown, but it is obviously not the influence of the force of the sun fragments;

The statue of the goddess in the church in the sixth block is suspected to be affected by the warp rift, and the nun in the underground church is suspected to have died in the process of fighting against the warp invasion...
