Deep Sea Embers Chapter 281: Taboo about reading at sea


Since the last long conversation with Tirian, Duncan has told Nina, Shirley and the others about the Abyss Project, but he did not mention the upcoming voyage plan of the Lost Home at that time. By now, a letter from an old friend Morris had received finally led to the journey north.

"We are currently heading north along the route of the Sea Fog, and it is estimated that we will enter the edge of the Cold Sea in a few days. There must be a completely different scenery from the central sea," Duncan said, "During this time You can spend time on the boat, Alice has already prepared rooms for you, of course, if it is difficult to adapt to life at sea, you can also return to the city-state - I can summon you temporarily when necessary."

"I....I stay on the boat," Shirley immediately raised her hand, "I can help Miss Alice with some work..."

"You also need to do your homework on the boat," Duncan glanced at her lightly, "I will personally supervise here."

Shirley shrank her neck immediately: "Ah,

Then I..."

"I also need to do my homework in the city-state, and I will supervise it myself."

Shirley said with a mournful face: "Then...then I'd better stay on the boat, as a change of environment."

"I want to be on the boat too," Nina looked at Shirley and then at Duncan, her eyes sparkling, and her tone was eager to try, "I haven't fully adapted to the life on the boat. I didn't last until the night..."

Duncan nodded: "Well, then you can go back later and bring the bedding you are used to here to prevent you from falling asleep in an unfamiliar environment."

"Yeah," Nina nodded repeatedly, then seemed to recall something, and asked a little firmly, "Then can I take the vacation homework and textbooks left by the school to the boat? I can't finish writing..."

As soon as Nina finished speaking, Agou beside him couldn't help holding his head with his paws: "We're going to solve a supernatural incident on the most terrifying ghost ship ever, but it sounds more and more like one Holiday travel...

It must be under the witness of Captain Duncan, on this very ordinary environment of the Lost Homelander, he took the initiative to read and lure the evil spirits... What will happen?

Alice was taken aback. I have spent most of my life on the academic path, and this is the first time I have heard such a crazy and whimsical thing. However, in the next second, she realized this from Shirley's eyes. This "Ghost Captain" is serious.

Shirley turned two more pages and raised her head: "Why haven't they come yet?"

And after the initial shock, a strange sense of excitement and anticipation also surfaced from the depths of the old scholar's heart.

Shirley didn't care about Agou's mumbling, she thought for a while, and said to Nina uncertainly: "The spelling book used by Captain Duncan can be brought on board, but your textbooks and homework may be It must be dangerous—reading books on the boundless sea is the same as reading in a city-state after nightfall, and it is easy to attract the kindness of some shadows.

Goat head: "."

Shirley: "...?"

"Nina wants to do winter vacation homework on the boat," Shirley said to the goat head with a serious face, "I'm sure you have a way to "attract" those "intruders" he just mentioned, you attract them Come here, I have something to discuss with them."

"I think your judgment is very reasonable."

"Generally speaking, the shadows attracted by reading have the characteristics of chasing knowledge, which determines that they will be a little bit more stupid than ordinary 'intruders,'" the words of the goat head finally became smooth , but the tone is still very weird, "Stupidity means having a certain degree of judgment, even if it is the chaotic and chaotic shadows and shadows of the spiritual world, in the process of chasing knowledge, they also know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and will not rashly appear in front of you ....."

Shirley didn't respond to the goat's head's flattery, but continued to immerse herself in the book in hand. She slowly turned over the slightly smooth pages, her eyes slowly glancing at the horrifying or mysterious folklore records in the southern city-state. Walk around, let your mind relax and immerse yourself a little bit.

Wait for the knowledge-seeking invaders to sniff the luscious bait to invade the defenseless dimension of reality.

Anyway, Uncle Duncan is invincible in the world, if something messes up, just let Uncle Duncan beat it up - Nina's thinking is very clear and complicated.

It must be admitted that she herself suddenly felt a little curious.

"I see," Shirley nodded,

Scanning the words on the book, he said casually, "That is to say, those who dare to run on the Lost Country will not be unknown or stupid, but must be powerful invaders who have sufficient confidence in themselves and have weighed Those—then this is actually a good thing, it means that I only need to beat them once or twice, so that "the weak ones among them can quickly recognize the situation without worrying about the endless harassment of idiots."

Shirley thought about it and thought it was a good idea.

"Actually... I think you still have to be obsessed with this matter. There are so many taboos in the boundless sea, it's just that you can't read it...."

Nina was stunned, analyzed calmly, thought for a while, and suddenly raised a very constructive question that no one had considered before: "Then there must be something running out of the shadows. Can't you just stop?"

"Nina has winter homework to do," Shirley said grumpily, "I take it very seriously."

The goat's head's thoughts were a little knotted again, and this time it hesitated for a longer time than before before finally speaking: "I think you may need to 'test, for a while."

Goat's head was startled by the sudden movement: "Boat...Captain?"

Of course, Nina is not bound by traditional thinking—because on the first day this girl came into contact with the supernatural field, she saw the scene where her uncle Duncan stepped on the city-state and tore the sun with his hands. Pollution is presented in her eyes as if she was pressed to the ground and beaten...

"I didn't think about it at all." Shirley was stunned for several seconds before finally saying with a weird expression. I fell into a blind spot of thinking, and just habitually regarded this as a rule like everyone else, but didn't consider other possibilities, and now it seems... On the contrary, it is Nina who has only been in contact with the extraordinary field for a long time Demonstrated incredible open-mindedness.

She came directly to the captain's cabin with a big book, and placed the book in front of the goat's head with a "bang".

However, no intruders appeared.

"I need a trap to attract these knowledge-seeking intruders," Shirley detoured to Alice, and put the folklore book in the hands of the old scholar, "You read that book, let yourself My mind looks like an undefended scholar, luring an evil spirit chasing knowledge to the ship, I want to communicate with this intruder, and find out what this intruder is by the way."

This is indeed an action that only a powerful warp shadow like me would dare to seriously consider.

The goat's head was startled, and he subconsciously said, "Ah, it's obvious. Reading on the boundless sea usually attracts the attention of certain wills deep in the world, such as invaders from the spirit world, demon projections from the deep realm, and even whispers from the subspace. They will also take advantage of this process, and they will extend their projections to the real world when the readers relax their vigilance, and... what are you doing?"

"You... how are you going to discuss with 'them?'

The goat's head felt that his thoughts were being knotted, but he subconsciously said while tying the knot: "Generally speaking, they should come when the reading starts, very quickly."

"Beat them, keep beating until they promise not to disturb Nina's study," Shirley said, then thought for a while, and added cautiously, "Of course this is just my idea ~IndoMTL.com~ and It is to determine whether it is feasible, maybe you are more professional than me in this regard?"

Alice picked up the book.

So she returned directly to the dining room with the book - everyone was still waiting here, Nina and Duncan were muttering and guessing what Shirley was doing, Morris was checking the dictation words with Agou, Alice closed her eyes to rest, and opened her eyes only when she heard Shirley walk in.

"It doesn't seem to be working," Shirley looked up and said quietly to the edge of the table

The quiet goat head said, "Is there any other way?"

"I need to make some confirmation." Goat said suddenly, then got up and left the restaurant.

Afterwards, he directly spread out the large book about the folk culture of each city-state that he brought from the Puland city-state, flipped through the contents and said without raising his head: "Then what he said, Intruder, when will you come?"

Shirley: "?

Agou and Duncan: Yes! "

"What are the usual consequences of reading books in the boundless sea?" Shirley asked bluntly.

"You may ask other people to read books. For example, Mr. Morris, the leaders of the God of Wisdom, are better at controlling their own minds. It is very useful when protecting themselves or setting traps "The goat head said immediately, "Most of these intruders didn't dare to show up because they smelled your breath, but it should be enough to set a trap."
