Deep Sea Embers Chapter 175: Dark clouds overwhelm the city
I don't know when the sky turned gloomy, and layers of thick, solid clouds covered the city-state.
Old Captain Lawrence walked out of the church door, shrinking his neck in the cold wind blowing in front of him, he looked up at the sky, and began to grumble about the bad weather: "X's, bad luck, It's hard to end the observation period, and I have to walk for half an hour against the wind
On the streets of Church Square, pedestrians are hurrying. It seems that rain is about to fall at any time. Everyone is remembering the uncollected clothes at home, or the windows that have not been closed, and the first thought of the old captain It's his grumpy wife...
He has been 'isolated and observed' in the church for many days, and he hasn't even sent a message in the middle. Will he not suffer a love that slaps his face or even bruises his face when he goes back?
Lawrence rubbed his arms and hands, sighed, and was about to walk towards the cold wind ahead, but just two steps out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a church guard hurriedly running towards him.
And further away, the young psychiatrist in charge of providing psychological counseling seems to be Heidi or Haili.
"No way!" Lawrence murmured subconsciously, and then saw the church guard come to him, first bowed politely, and then solemnly stretched out his hand to block his way: "Sorry , Captain Lawrence, you have just received an urgent notice that you cannot leave yet."
"Isn't the observation period already over?" Lawrence felt a sense of the moment when he saw the other party appear, but he couldn't help but put his face down at this time, "You have to have a suitable reason."
"It is inconvenient to tell the specific situation, the young church guard also seemed a little embarrassed, but in the end he spoke in an official manner, "It was a direct order from the Inquisitor - the situation has changed, and all those who have been in contact with the Lost Homes. Ordinary people are going to stay in the church. "
The corner of Lawrence's mouth trembled. When he heard the words 'Homeless', he knew that he had to obey the order, but the bad mood appeared out of his control. The old captain frowned: "Okay, Captain, I understand, but who can explain it to my wife? I'm attached to..."
"I'm sorry to disturb you," the old captain said before Heidi's voice came from the side, "Do you have any concerns?"
Lawrence turned his head and glanced at Heidi. During the days of isolation and observation in the church, he also had some dealings with the young lady psychiatrist. He knew that although the other party looked young, he was indeed a reliable person. 'expert', and he did help himself and the crew relieve a lot of nervousness and resentment, so his face eased a little:
"I've been away from home for too long. My wife is not a mild-mannered person. I have to take a vacation after finishing my last shipping order. I can't isolate myself in church for the first half of the vacation and stay in bed for the second half of the vacation. right?"
Then he took out a potion in a glass tube from his carry-on medicine box and handed it to the old captain, saying, "But things are more complicated now, it's best to follow the instructions of the cathedral and rest assured, your family is there Someone will contact. Indeed, no one wants to encounter such a thing," Heidi sighed and said with empathy.
"What is this?" Lawrence took the medicine tube, glanced suspiciously at the liquid inside, and then looked at Heidi suspiciously - there was always something strange in this psychiatrist's medicine box , makes people nervous.
"Soothing the nerves, soothing, and enhancing mental protection to a certain extent by the way,~~" Heidi said casually, "prepare for the next stage of isolation and observation."
"Damn, I really can't accommodate..."
Lawrence had a toothache when he heard "The Next Stage of Isolation", then pulled the stopper of the drug tube, drank the salty and bitter potion inside, and handed the glass tube back to the psychiatrist.
The effect of the potion soon became apparent. The old captain shivered while standing in the cold wind, his eyes changed a few times, and then he quickly calmed down and let out a complicated sigh.
"Do you need me to take you back?" Heidi asked in a soft voice, observing the old captain's expression.
"No, I know the way," Lawrence (this chapter isn't over!)
Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Five
My mood was a little down, but I quickly shook my head in relief, "Oh, it's good to go back and stay. It's interesting to have someone to chat with, anyway, it's interesting to have a few apprentice monks talking."
He turned around in the cold wind and walked alone towards the church gate, where the two guards were already waiting, ready to take the old captain back to the quarantine observation area.
But when he was about to enter the door, Heidi's voice still rang: "Mr. Lawrence, as a psychiatrist, I still seriously advise you - it's almost time to retire, Boundless Sea Very bad for your mental health."
Lawrence didn't speak, just waved his hand from a distance to indicate that he had heard, and then the figure slowly disappeared into the towering and solemn door.
Only Heidi carrying a medicine box and a guardian warrior in a long black trench coat were left in the square.
The guard looked at the old captain with a hint of respect in his eyes.
Then the guardian turned his head and looked at the psychiatrist beside him: "Miss Heidi, do you know what happened?"
Heidi rolled her eyes: "You are a member of the church, and you don't even know it. How would the 'outside consultant' sent by my city hall know?"
"But you and the Inquisitor's Court..."
"She didn't tell me anything, and I haven't even met her since yesterday," Heidi shook her head, then glanced curiously at the guardian warrior in front of her, "but I listen. Saying she's suddenly signed off on a whole bunch of investigative missions? There's even a team of clergymen running down to City Hall this morning to borrow files."
"Yeah, a lot of investigation tasks," the guardian sighed, "seconded files, visited the community, checked a lot of old accounts, and went to the port to set up a card to monitor a dozen french fries in the sea. Tee..."
"So now even we're guessing what's going on," the guardian sighed, looking up at the cloudy sky. "Tsk, what the hell."
Morris sat up at the desk, his fingers lightly brushing the rough edges of a heavy tome, his mind calmed down a little until he could hear his own heartbeat.
He lowered his head and slowly opened the "Rahm Holy Book" in front of him, skillfully opening the chapters on mental protection and wisdom discernment, and recited the above admonitions in his heart.
After completing the most basic self-suggestion and mental reinforcement, he stood up, lit the candles and incense on the table next to him in order, and poured the extracted essential oil into the three clusters of candles.
Amid the sudden rise of flames, he stared at the mirror in front of the altar of ritual, looking at his own reflection in the mirror, with a self-deprecating smile on his face.
"It's a blessing that I'm still able to carry out the details of these rituals accurately."
The crackling of the candle gradually faded away, and the smoke rising from the heavy incense slowly condensed into a cloud above the mirror. The cloud blocked the old man's sight, preventing him from seeing himself in the mirror accurately At this point, the protection of the mind and the blessing from the **** of wisdom, Raheem, have become.
"I betray you for eleven years and you are still willing to take care of me," Morris sighed softly when he saw the ceremony being completed so smoothly, "What do you still expect from me?"
The room was still quiet. Of course, the God of Wisdom would not just appear like this, but Morris still listened attentively. He seemed to have heard the god's entrustment in the silence, and his face gradually calmed down, and he opened the hand. of a drawer!
A string of bracelets made of colorful stones lay quietly in the drawer. There were twelve stones in total.
Morris hesitated, then picked up the bracelet and put it on.
At this moment, he felt his mind clear, as if a curtain that had been shrouded for many years was suddenly removed, and then he took another look at the layer of smoke that was still condensing in front of the mirror, and finally made up his mind to push the door and leave the room. Heidi was not at home, and the empty mansion seemed extraordinarily quiet.
My wife's bedroom is not far away on the left. The door is now closed, and the inside is drowsy and silent~IndoMTL.com~Maurice touched the stone bracelet on his wrist and dared not He turned his eyes to the hidden door, and ran through the corridor as quickly as he escaped, then passed through the living room, walked out of the gate, started the car parked in the courtyard, and drove towards the 5th district of the down town.
At the same time, a white (unfinished chapter!)
Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Five
The pigeons are flying fast over the low, old buildings in the lower town.
Unnoticed, the dove passed through the second-floor window of Duncan's Antique Store, and moments later, a faint green light flashed behind the window—flickering.
Duncan stepped out of the flames and glanced at the bad weather outside, then at the clock hanging on the wall not far away—it was a little while before Nina came home from school.
He came to the first floor, opened the store door, moved a chair, and sat at the door just like that, staring at the street ahead with a calm expression, thinking quietly.
