Deep Sea Embers Chapter 252: The silence of the deep sea

The city-state floats on the boundless sea with no roots or feet. Under the 850-meter-thick base is the seemingly endless dark deep water. The deeper you dive into the deep sea, the more incomprehensible you hear Noise, seeing incomprehensible light and shadow, and the first explorer who crossed a thousand-meter water depth fell into madness after crazily rushing to the surface of the sea. The only sentence left to the world is——

"We all died there."

This is what happened in the process of Frost City State's "Abyss Project" from the beginning until it gradually became wrong.

Duncan fell into a brief thought, and he suddenly discovered that even if he didn't go deep into the spirit world and the abyss, only in the "real dimension" of this world, there are many dangers and weirdnesses hidden in the boundless sea. After that, he asked suddenly:

"What happened to that explorer?"

"He died quickly—the rapid ascension and pressurization killed him, and he died of blood vessel embolism after screaming for a while, at least for practical reasons."

"Only one occupant in a submersible?" Duncan asked again.

"Only one person can be accommodated. Of course, this will amplify the mental pressure on the explorer, but this is also a helpless move. On the one hand, the technology back then was limited, and on the other hand, this kind of exploration is not suitable for many People walking together - under the deep sea, it is difficult for you to be sure what your companion will be replaced in the next second, and it is also difficult to determine whether the voice you hear is real, so it is better to dive alone, so that at least there is no doubt There are other people in the submersible."

"The deep sea, the darkness, the loneliness, the bizarre unknown waters after leaving the civilized world, all of these may be the reasons for this explorer's madness," Duncan slowly shook his head, "But that's not important, it's important Yes... that is still not enough to explain why the Abyss Project later became an extremely taboo topic."

He looked into Tirian's eyes, and continued: "So far, what you have described is nothing more than an expedition that went wrong, and similar expeditions occur every year, and the Academy of Truth even takes the initiative. Investing in and encouraging scholars and explorers to do those things is a so-called taboo, and it should not have anything to do with the Lost Homeland.”

"Empty?" Duncan raised his eyebrows slightly, then shook his head, "Then this is even more disturbing."

"Yes, the first one," Tirian nodded, "it rushed up in front of the navy soldiers, and kept flashing the light signal that it needed assistance to open the hatch. The well-trained soldiers Although there was a moment of confusion, the submersible was quickly dragged to the work platform according to standard procedures, and seventy-one rifles, two rapid-fire guns and a flamethrower were aimed at its hatch, and then a cowardly The priest stepped forward, splashed holy water and unlocked the door.”

At this time, even the side didn't speak, but he was so fascinated that he couldn't help talking: "There's a second one?!

Tirion was still in the memory of the past a second ago, but at this moment, Miss Puppet's train of thought was interrupted, and she opened her mouth for a long time, but she didn't mobilize her emotions: "This...they I didn't think about it at all..."

"After this, doctors and church scholars jointly examined the corpse, and the Queen of Frost seemed to have visited the autopsy site herself, but the conclusions of the examination were not announced—or, before they had time to announce anything Before that, the second No. 2 submersible appeared."

"This monster also failed to survive more than two minutes in the air.

Tirion glanced at Alice subconsciously, with a strange expression on his face. He seemed very unaccustomed to a person who looked exactly like the Frost Queen standing here making a fuss, but he quickly adjusted his expression , nodded slightly:

Second, and more than two—after this, every hour or more, a submersible will emerge from here..."

".....Yeah, stop this plan at the 1,000-meter mark, and the things that happened later won't happen,"

Tirion shook his head, feeling emotional in his memories, "After the accident with the No. 2 submersible, His Majesty Ray Nora once ordered the exploration to be temporarily suspended, but something happened a few days later, which made the situation... ... gradually getting weird

. "

Alice was surprised to hear this weird and bizarre "story", he thought for a while, and suddenly said: "So, they just need to wait here, and they will have a steady stream of submersibles? Is this 'submersible' thing too valuable? Is it worth more than cultists?"

"At the edge of the temporarily blocked test area, the No. 2 submersible rushed to the surface."

"Don't bury him, your thinking is different from ordinary people," Duncan glanced at Alice, and said to Tirian with a serious expression, "Go on, what happened later?"

As Tirian continued to narrate, the expression on Duncan's face became more and more serious. Even Alice beside him seemed to have noticed the change in the atmosphere and sat upright.

Tirion came back to his senses, collected his thoughts and continued to speak: "After the second submersible came up, it also issued a light signal requesting to open the cabin. This time, the soldiers had some experience. They took the submersible After being dragged to a more strictly protected area, the priest opened the hatch after delaying setting up a large number of protections in the extraordinary domain, but this time... the one who came out of it was a swollen and deformed person with a completely invisible ' Explorer, a humanoid monster.

Ruian paused for a moment, as if there were some gaps in his memory, he organized his words before continuing to speak quickly: "I can't remember the details of the No. 2 submersible, it was completed in a hurry, and The Duncan Navy is only responsible for part of it. I only know that it is bigger than No. 2, and it cannot accommodate two people. There is also a sample chamber-scholars originally planned to use it to collect specimens in the deep sea. If there are specimens to collect words.

Duncan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized: "What's the number of the first submersible?!"

Alice frowned: "One thing?"

"Then, everything started. The No. 1 submersible never went down again, and no more 'No. 2 submersibles appeared in the eyes of everyone." Tirian paused, and slowly said: "The cabin The door opened, and a...a human who looked like an explorer came out of it."

"The third submersible, the last that you know of, is empty."

"Yes, it's empty, so it's even more disturbing. This matter has not completely gotten out of control, and we must find a way to end it," Tirian said in a deep voice, "but fortunately, the 'No. 3 submersible is finally completed ——It was originally not the successor model of the No. 2 submersible. After the "One Thousand Meters" incident, the plan was suspended, and its construction work was also suspended, but as the "No. 2 submersibles surfaced one after another, The queen ordered the assembly of the 'No. 3 submersible' to be completed as quickly as possible, and she decided to use it to understand what happened at a depth of 1,000 meters."

And in this increasingly serious and deep atmosphere, Tirian slowly said——

"On the first day after the appearance of the first 'No. 2 submersible, the No. 3 submersible built by the city-state was thrown into the sea. Inside it sat a scholar, an officer, and a powerful priest— ——At that time, they forgot the hidden danger of not being able to consider the 'exploration by multiple people', and doing everything possible to avoid the appearance of the fourth 'No. 2 submersible' was the most important thing.

Duncan's face sank like water: "Like?"

"The No. 3 submersible detonated the explosives," the pirate said slowly, "and they stuffed the sample chamber with high-energy explosives to deal with the 'ultimate danger situation,'.

"There is only a little white fibrous moisture in the third submersible, which looks like an unformed nerve structure, or a wet blood vessel specimen..."

"The appearance and outline are similar, but the height and weight are different. He is wearing a navy uniform, but there are many problems with the details of the clothes, and more importantly... the people who came out of the submersible are only active on land. He died in a short while, without even leaving a word, and after the soldiers untied his clothes, they found that his flesh and blood seemed to grow together with the clothes, and there were still large and small pieces on his body. Small, incomprehensible wounds.

Tirion looked up ~IndoMTL.com~ and met Alice's eyes.

"What crawled out of the third submersible was a wriggling lump of flesh, this time I couldn't even see the outline of a human being.

"But seventeen minutes after the contact was lost, the vicar on duty in the cathedral

The teacher suddenly heard a voice in the deep sea again. They first heard a scream, which was from the pastor. The pastor was screaming in a very frightened tone to remind others, he said: 'Don't look! Do not think! ,, Immediately afterwards, there was the voice of the officer, it was a roar, and then, there was a deafening roar. "

"After the hatch of the third submersible was opened, nothing came out of it—the soldiers at the scene stepped forward to check and saw only a pool of suspicious dark red mud in the cockpit, which carried a powerful Life response.

"The No. 3 submersible dived all the way, and soon reached a depth of one thousand meters. The priest in the submersible maintained contact with the sea surface by relying on spiritual power. Probably because the new submersible was more powerful, they All the way went smoothly, and confirmed the scene of the city-state's "base" observed by previous explorers, but soon, the communication became intermittent, and after the depth reached 1,000 meters, the large platform on the sea surface The church can hardly hear the sound from the deep sea.
