Deep Sea Embers Chapter 369: The gatekeeper visits the door

Duncan sat on the sofa in the living room, leisurely looking at the newspapers he bought from the street this morning, and occasionally turned his head to see Shirley, who was lying on the coffee table, writing with a sad face, and Shirley, who was lying on the snow. A Gou, who was engrossed in the book "Compendium of Modern History of the City-State" next to Li, felt relieved for a while.

In this strange and strange world, he finally found a little familiar rhythm of life.

On the other hand, taking Agou, Shirley and Nina over can be regarded as the realization of an idea that he had been thinking about for a long time before - Captain Duncan's small classroom has finally reopened.

He turned his head and looked at the other side of the coffee table. Nina was sitting there on a small stool, seriously writing her winter homework. Morris was supervising and occasionally helping his students correct Mistakes in some details.

"You are a conscientious and good teacher," Duncan said to Morris, "Nina is lucky."

"She is a hardworking child, I don't want to delay her life," Morris laughed, and then glanced at the homework book spread out in front of Shirley, with a subtle expression on his face, "But I didn't expect You are also so good at... teaching others."

Duncan raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"The study plan you made for Shirley, Alice, and Agou is very reasonable, even...some professional," Morris said with a hesitant tone, "I also saw the test papers you prepared for them before, It is also very professional, which is a bit... beyond my expectation."

The old gentleman’s words are very cautious, he really cares about this matter a little bit - when he first learned that Duncan was interested in teaching the three illiterates on the ship, he didn’t think of new word cards, word books and multiplication tables in his mind , At that time, the first image that popped up in his head was completely towards the direction of "familiars of evil gods gathered in the ritual ground to learn about forbidden knowledge", but in the end, he saw the frightening Captain Duncan taking out a bunch of literacy cards Come...

How should I put it, although now he is more or less used to Captain Duncan's private peace and friendliness, but when he thinks that such a subspace shadow is really serious about giving lessons (or literacy lessons), he feels awkward It will still surge up uncontrollably.

Of course Duncan knew what the old scholar meant, but he couldn't explain it, so he just smiled and waved his hands: "Maybe I once had a dream of being a teacher?"

Morris didn't know what to say for a while, but Duncan looked at Shirley's heart-wrenching handwriting again, and couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that the learning progress of these three'students is very different. It's too big, it's really a headache."

Morris thought for a while and nodded: "Indeed. I think Agou can almost spend time in a certain library and learn to graduate from college, but Shirley is still struggling with common words, Alice... ...Alice her..."

Duncan sighed again: "Oh, Alice worked hard, but she is Alice."

The learning progress of the three illiterates on board is not at all what he expected at first. He thought that Xue Li, who had better brains, would learn faster. And the desperate learning attitude is the main reason. Alice works harder than anyone else, but Miss Doll's head seems to be really not suitable for reading and writing. In the end, the highest level of the three illiterates turned out to be a dog—— With astonishing diligence and savvy, Ah Gou can not only read literary works by himself, but can even solve ternary quadratic equations....

There are tens of thousands of deep hounds chasing knowledge-now it seems that Agou is the only one who has caught up.

In all fairness, this is the biggest stain in Duncan—or Zhou Ming's entire teaching career.

Just as he was sighing in his heart, Alice, who had gone out to buy groceries, finally came back—almost twenty minutes later than expected.

"I'm back!"

Miss Puppet opened the door and entered the room, put down the things in her hand and poked her head to greet the living room. Then she saw Xueba, Xueshuang and Xuegou who were doing their homework next to the coffee table. Happy appearance: "Nina! Shirley! Dog! Are you here?"

"I just came here in the morning, and I've already done my homework for half a day..." Shirley raised her head, with tears in her eyes,

"The captain asked me to re-copy all the content from the sixteenth page of the vocabulary book..."

"Three times," Duncan said beside him unhurriedly, "Don't make a fuss and cut yourself two-thirds of the tasks."

Then he ignored Shirley's follow-up reaction and looked up at Alice: "Why did you come back at this time? Are you in trouble?"

"Ah, no!" Alice quickly waved her hand, "It's just something exciting... I didn't watch the excitement! Something happened, I'm investigating.

This puppet really can't tell lies, and it's not good at making excuses either. Just a few words can reveal the fact that it was a waste of time watching the excitement on the way home.

"Investigate?" Duncan looked at Alice with a little surprise. He didn't want to pursue her "watching the fun". Although he did warn her not to walk around on the road, it was just a trivial matter. What he cared more about was... Alice, who was usually dumbfounded, could say the word "investigation" with a serious face.

Even if it was her temporary excuse, he still cared that the puppet had investigated something.

"On the nearby street, there was a family who said it was dead, and all the people in the church had gone," Alice immediately began to tell Duncan what she saw and heard on the road, "A woman, what did you say killed her?" My own husband, and the onlookers also said that the male owner of the house went out before... Ah, yes, I also saw a woman, she was dressed like you! She was also wrapped in bandages ...

Duncan listened to the puppet's upside-down and pointless narration for a while, and barely understood what happened. Then he noticed the "bandaged woman" mentioned by the other party at the end, and he frowned slightly. Frowning, just about to ask for some details, but saw Fan Na who was sitting at the dining table feeding the pigeons not far away suddenly stood up.

"The stranger is approaching," Fanna said quickly, "it is a priest."

Duncan immediately waved his hand to make Alice calm down and put on the veil again. Agou, who was squatting next to the sofa, retreated into the shadows in the blink of an eye. Ai flapped his wings and hid on the nearby cabinet. Morris Get up from the sofa and go to the door.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a visitor." Duncan was quite calm. He waved to Fanna and Morris, who were a little nervous, and then calmly came to the door and pulled it away.

A young woman wearing a long black trench coat, bandages, a black bowler hat and a cane is standing outside the door, keeping her hand raised to knock on the door.

She seemed to be frozen there.

Duncan looked the young lady up and down, then down at himself.

"Ah, I've bumped my shirt." He said casually.

"It's her, it's her," Alice stood behind Duncan. At this time, she saw the appearance of the person at the door, and immediately came over happily, "The woman in black I told you is on the way back from shopping. See..."

Alice's voice awakened Agatha who was in a daze. The muscles on her face trembled slightly. It took her a long time to move her eyes away from the tall and burly figure in front of her and look at the voice. direction.

The blond woman with no breathing or heartbeat that I had just seen not long ago was standing in the room, looking at this side with curious and happy eyes.

Here she is.

Agatha took several deep breaths, trying to calm down her heartbeat, the slight tinnitus gradually faded away in her mind, and the blackened vision and double image phenomenon caused by suddenly looking directly at "Truth" finally dissipated from her eyes ——She finally breathed a sigh of relief, and remembered her reason for coming in her confused mind.

A somewhat stiff smile appeared on her face: "I... have no intention of interrupting, just to check on the situation, you...

"Come in," Duncan nodded indifferently, and made way to the side, "It's quite cold, don't stand at the door and talk."

Agatha was stunned for a moment, but didn't react for a while.

Seeing this scene, Fan Na, who had stood silently by the side before, couldn't help but frowned, and stepped forward to look at the other party: "You rushed over knowing where this place is, so you didn't even think about it." After opening the door, right?"

"Understand a little bit

," Morris said hastily, "after meeting the captain for the first time, she must be confused. The higher the spirit vision, the more she will be. This girl is confused at first sight."

As soon as Fan Na heard this, she immediately recalled her entry experience on the Lost Home, and felt that the old man was right.

Agatha finally came to her senses when Vanna was talking to Morris—her brain was indeed still a little confused, but her rationality had regained control. Due to Duncan's conscious restraint, her mind was not affected too much. As soon as he recovered, he nodded hurriedly: "Sorry, I'm a little distracted."

Then she glanced at the road that Duncan made way for, and after a little hesitation, she finally took a step.

She knows where this place is ~IndoMTL.com~ She knows that the burly figure is essentially an indescribable person descended from the city-state, whose personality is very likely to be similar to that of an ancient god.

She knew that she had stepped into a "falling place".

But from the moment the door was opened, there was no room for regret.

Behind Duncan, Morris watched the tense young lady stepping into the room, turned her head slightly and whispered to Fanna, "Better than you were before."

Vanna muttered in a low voice: "Don't blame me, the captain was too scary when he 'dreamed' for the first time."

Morris nodded: "That's true..."

Fan Na added: "But I was much calmer the second time."

Duncan heard the two men muttering in the back, and finally couldn't help turning his head: "You weren't much stronger the second time—be quiet, the guests are here."
