Deep Sea Embers Chapter 174: The eve of the storm
The nun who had been praying silently in front of the Statue of the Goddess is gone.
Only the empty ground is left in front of the pulpit. Bright gas lamps illuminate the empty main hall and rows of seats. Fanna and the guardians are searching in the not-so-big main hall. Once again, the strange "nun" was not found.
Of course Vanna knew that the nun probably "did not exist" from the very beginning--the other person's body had apparently died in the underground sanctuary many years ago, and now it is only the other person's who maintains the prayer in the main hall. It was just a phantom, but the sudden disappearance of this phantom still made everyone feel uneasy in confusion.
"Neither in the hallway nor in the small room here!"
The last two Guardian warriors who went to search also returned to the main hall, and their reports confirmed one thing: the "phantom" of the nun had indeed completely disappeared from the church.
Fana frowned slightly, thinking quickly in her mind--
The apparition disappeared, but when did she disappear?
When Baiji entered the underground church for the second time? Was it when Baiji saw the string of numbers written by the real nun before she died? Or...
When the strange green flame ignited out of thin air and wiped away the traces on the ground?
If it is the former, then the disappearance of the phantom is probably because the "observer from the real world" sees through the truth, thus destroying part of the illusion here, and if it is the latter... it means that A ghost captain shot.
While the ghost captain erased the traces of the subterranean sanctuary, he also erased the nun's apparition in the main hall - for reasons no one knows.
There will be no more discoveries by staying here. The most urgent task is to inform Bishop Valentine of the current information, and then go to the archives to confirm the warning signs that I have just noticed.
Fanna quickly left the church with the team members. When they crossed the door of the church, when they turned around again, what they saw was the church that was completely deserted and dilapidated.
Fanna let out a breath, at least Baiji left this strange place with her subordinates safely, and then she suddenly moved in her heart, raised her head subconsciously, and looked above the church.
A chubby white dove is standing on a high spire, looking at it with its head tilted, looking harmless to humans and animals.
Why is this pigeon still here?
Fana couldn't help but feel a little curious, but she quickly ignored these doubts. After arranging the people to stay around the chapel, she turned around and got into the car and set foot on the way back to the central cathedral.
The dove fluttered its wings and quickly flew away from the church.
But the pigeon didn't fly too far -- it slid straight into a nearby alley after getting out of sight of the guards who stayed around the church.
The green fire of the spirit body rose rapidly in the empty alley, turning into a door and a vortex. Duncan stepped out of the flames, then frowned slightly, and looked in the direction of the church thoughtfully.
It's right to poke the **** out of it, and attracting Fanna and the "official force" behind Fanna has really yielded unexpected results - the investigation is moving forward, professionals are professionals, they understand His knowledge far exceeds the wild ways like Shirley and Agou.
When the distance is close enough, Duncan can directly monitor the movement around the target through the "mark" he left on the target, and since the mark on Vano's body has been strengthened during her last visit to the antique store, This kind of monitoring can even allow Duncan to sense the mood swings of the young Inquisitor to a certain extent - just now he had been staying above the church with Ai, and through this kind of monitoring, he "watched" the guard team in the church. the exploration process.
Duncan pondered quietly in the shadows of the alley, sorting out the information he had just received.
The nun is most likely fighting against her own "Archon Projection" - there is no other invader at all, the invader ran out of her own soul "rift"?
The priests of this world... once they are completely overwhelmed by pollution, will they directly become a "passage" connecting the warp and the real world?
Does this happen only to the clergy, or does all human beings have this hidden danger, and the clergy is even more dangerous when they are contaminated?
Of all the information, Duncan pays the most attention, and also makes him the most unexpected and sleepy (this chapter is not over!)
One hundred and seventy-four chapters before the storm
The confused one.
Duncan doesn't know much about the righteous gods in this world and the churches under their names, but at least through the observation of this period, he can confirm that the position of these churches is to stand on the side of order and protection Yes, the clerics ensure the safety of the city-state in the supernatural realm, and they are also the firmest line of defense against the "deep" pollution of the world.
But now he knows that this firm line of defense, under certain conditions, will itself become a "pipe" between the real world and the warp... Why is this?
If this transformation will not only happen to clerics, but all human beings will be transformed into karmic space channels under certain conditions, then what does it mean?
The warp, feared by the world, seems to have a more complicated connection with the real world and with mortals than he thought at first...
In addition to this information, there is a string of numbers "1885" left by the nun.
This is indeed a detail that Duncan and Shirley hadn't discovered when they came here to explore before, and it was a detail that surprised Duncan at this moment.
If Vanna was right, the nun didn't die in 1889, but in the sun shards event in 1885 -- and for years after that, the chapel should have been Distorted time and space are shrouded!
What does this mean?
Duncan's thoughts went up and down, and he slowly raised his hand. He gently rubbed his fingertips, and a cluster of faint green flames quietly burned in his sight.
He could clearly feel that the fire of the spirit was spreading in the tomb--in the invisible dimension, on the "other side" of the Perand city-state, and at the same time, faint feedback was constantly sent to him.
This is his third confusion.
Shortly after Fan Li discovered the string of numbers in the underground sanctuary, the string of numbers disappeared out of thin air, and there was a brief appearance of spiritual fire, which the young inquisitor must have thought it was from "Captain Duncan" , but actually...
Duncan is more dumb than she is.
The string of numbers was not erased by Duncan. He had no idea why the flames he had unleashed would suddenly appear in the underground sanctuary and purposefully burned the string of "1885" - this gave him A feeling, as if the flame did not extend to the church in space, but to 1885 in time!
Duncan froze for a moment.
Maybe...it's not an illusion...
For some reason, he suddenly recalled when he was researching Alice's wooden box, and recalled the exhortation he heard when he spied the execution of the Queen of Frost half a century ago-
"...Please don't pollute history..."
Duncan's face was sinking, his brows furrowed a little, he thought of a sentence he heard not long ago:
Anything in this world can be contaminated except the warp.
……
Fanna returned to the cathedral in a hurry. She wanted to go to the archives as soon as possible to confirm what happened to the serious sense of disobedience in her memory, but she went to see Bishop Valentine first. On the one hand, he told the old man the results of his investigation in the chapel on the sixth block.
After listening to Fanna's story, Valentine didn't say a word for a long time, he frowned and thought for a long time before muttering with a toothache-like expression: "Warp... this is really all The most troublesome kind of troublesome situation..."
"As we prepared to leave, the string of numbers in the chapel pointing to 1885 and the nun praying in the main hall were missing, seemingly related to the power of that 'Captain Duncan,'" added Vana "But we didn't stay in the church for repeated tests because of concerns about the risk of contamination spreading."
"...correct caution," Bishop Valentine nodded lightly, "now we are not sure what the attitude of that ghost captain is, although it seems that he did provide us with an important piece of information, But he also erased some clues at the end... Anyway, he is not our 'friend~IndoMTL.com~ Fanna pondered for a while, and looked at the old man in front of her: "Is there any echo from the church headquarters? Has the situation here been reported to His Holiness the Pope?"
Valentine glanced at Vanna, nodded and said, "I've finished the situation here (this chapter is not over!)
One hundred and seventy-four chapters before the storm
The number was reported to the Cathedral of Storms, and His Holiness the Pope said that he would send support as soon as possible - but the church flag is still some distance away from Prand, and even the fastest clippers will hardly arrive within a few days, so... Or prepare yourself. "
While speaking, the old bishop sighed softly and turned to stare at the icon of the storm goddess.
"The disaster is brewing, and I don't know when it will break out. Whether the Pearl of the Sea can wipe out the haze depends on our own ability."
