Deep Sea Embers Chapter 282: “Knowledge Stalker”
【Deep sea embers】【】
The slightly undulating waves gently slapped the outer wall of the cabin, and there was a slight creaking sound from the depths of the deck from time to time, and the ship lamp fueled by whale fat was burning quietly not far away. Reflecting pairs of curious or expectant eyes.
Morris spread out the book about city-state folklore in front of his eyes, relaxed his mind a little bit, weakened the protection of his will, opened his mind to knowledge, let the power in the book be a little bit Immerse yourself in your soul.
He could feel that his undefended mind was exuding more and more alluring "taste" in this vast and boundless sea.
A seeker, a brash, unguarded seeker, opens his heart on the sea, and those hungry shadows that prowl the depths of the world must have sensed the bait—those squirming, blind shadows Unable to resist this temptation, they are still hesitating. Their barely sane minds, slightly enlightened by the pursuit of knowledge, have an instinctive resistance to the environment on the Lost Country, which keeps them hesitating.
But they will not hesitate forever—those lurking in the spirit world, the deep and even the warp, have no real intelligence.
Morris slowly turned a page, his eyes wandering between the words.
Folklore knowledge, this is what attracts the attention of those shadows the most. Folklore embodies the fear, awe and simple cognition of nature accumulated by human beings over a long time span. It is roughly processed human nature and sweet. Emotions and solidified knowledge are the most suitable for these hungry knowledge chasers to feast on.
Another page of the book was opened, and fine dust fluctuated and drifted between the pages. The light penetrated the curved paper vertically, and outlined the jumping light and shadow between the paper and the text.
It was quiet in the cabin. The captain stood quietly on one side, staring at the open book, and the sun shards stood on the other side, paying attention to the movement in the air.
The intruders are approaching. A group of complete bone fragments with no details can be discerned scattered on the floor, green smoke curled up above the bone fragments, and some remaining green sparks jumped among the piles of debris, devouring the last part of the "Knowledge Hunter" remaining in the real dimension. a little strength.
"I...I don't know..." Alice trembled for a moment, her voice sounded trembling, "I have never read a book before, and I don't know how to read. Before I met Agou I don't even have much sense, and I don't know why a... fellow countryman popped up."
With a happy mood and some expectations for the future, she stepped forward and kicked the pile of white bones on the floor that had not cooled down gradually.
Morris looked at the lines of illegible characters that emerged on the paper, felt the power emanating from these characters that tempted him to read, and said softly, "Here it is."
...Under unusual circumstances, a person who was reading a book at sea was attacked by a ghostly demon that suddenly ran out of the book. Under normal circumstances, the deep demons that invaded the real world through that method would grow rapidly and get out of control, killing the entire ship's people in a short period of time... Not every ship is the Lost Country. "

A beautiful hound-like creature made of white bones.
Then Shirley glanced at Duncan again: "Speaking of which, he doesn't even know that he is a hound of knowledge, does he?"
Shirley frowned. The development of the matter was a bit unexpected, and the speed at which it started was also a bit unexpected.
The invisible knowledge hunter finally couldn't hold back, and came to the edge of the real world. Its tentacles were sniffing Morris's mind through the pages of the book, and disguised itself as words. On the screen, familiar symbols emerged little by little.
"I don't know," Alice said in a muffled voice, shaking her beautiful little head, "I've said it all, I used to be confused..."
A puff of smoke gushed out from the pages of the book, and the words that were separated from the page quickly merged into the smoke, roaring and rushing out of the book, turning into a vortex of smoke and dust that rolled into the air, and then, within the smoke and dust, there was pitch blackness again. Things began to condense and take shape, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into some kind of skeleton-like structure——big
A pile of extremely chaotic, distorted black bone fragments crackled and fell on the floor beside the dining table, and in the blink of an eye, they were pieced together and combined into a thing that was very strange to everyone present:
She stepped forward, kicked the pile of broken bones that still had some heat with her toes, and raised her head to look at Duncan who was not far away.
Seeing this, Shirley showed a smile.
A Gou, who was on full alert next to him, was dumbfounded when he saw that scene, and looked up at the people around him: "I don't know it."
"It's easy if you don't know it." Shirley said casually, and then she walked towards the dark hound that had just condensed into a figure and seemed to be in chaos, and the latter finally reacted at this time. He raised his head, the red light burst in the empty blood-colored eyes, and endless black flames shot up from the cracks in the bones all over his body, making a gesture of resistance!
What should come, always will come.
"Alice, clean up that pile."
Alice frowned and thought about it for a long time, before she suddenly said: "If you want to say that, the deep hounds are as illiterate as Agou, so why are they chasing knowledge?"
Smart hunters often disguise themselves as prey, and knowledge chasers often disguise themselves as "knowledge" when they lure scholars. Reading them is the first step in falling into the trap.
"Alice is still studying cooking," Shirley said casually, "maybe it's just a hobby."
My "fishing" was successful. When facing knowledge hunters, using historians to make nests really worked.
Morris looked at the next line of text and saw that the edges of the text were shaking slightly.
At this moment, Agou stood up, and the calm voice of the old scholar finally helped Agou out: "Theoretically, the 'evil spirits' attracted by reading books will be random, usually It is an invisible shadow from the spirit world, but there are also a few cases where it is a 'demon' running out of the depths. The name of the deep hounds has the meaning of 'hunting,' chasing. In fact, they are indeed hunters of knowledge. A kind...and quite a powerful one."
It raised its head, looked at the atrium path under the sun, and sighed deeply after a long time.

However, its resistance has not yet begun - the moment the white flames in the deep hound's body rose, its gaze met Xue Li's sight, and in the next second, every ray of flame burning from its body Everything was stained with a layer of dark green.
A good hunter often appears as the prey - but a good hunter really becomes the prey.
Nina laughed immediately: "Oh!" This is just a heartless and deep demon, completely different from Agou.
"A fairly famous one?" Shirley raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and subconsciously glanced at Agou who was trembling at Duncan's feet, "Really?"
Shirley couldn't help but shook her head with a smile, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was getting better day by day after there were so many people on board—now there is still such a pleasant daily life, really, I know Wait Fan What will the silence here be like after Na boards the boat?
This intruder from the deep depths lost control over its own fire within a second, and became a sacrifice under the watchful eyes of the captain. Its chaotic mind may not even have time to understand what happened, so it Wrapped in the blazing flames of the spirit body—the shrill and chaotic roar instantly broke the peace on the Lost Homelander, and the crackling sound of the flames burning the bones and the strange tearing sound resounded through the dining room!
As she spoke, she glanced at Nina:
"Nina, you will be able to do your winter vacation homework on the boat~IndoMTL.com~ Surely nothing will come out, just beat it by yourself-be careful not to burn things."
This is a text that does not exist, depicting knowledge that does not exist.
"Okay," Shirley nodded, and quickly drew the strength formula in her mind, her tone was a little subtle, "I'm sure the intruders summoned when I read the book are the weakest 'hunters' like Agou. It's not very safe..."
In the next second, the "hunter" hidden in the pages and text seemed to sense something suddenly, and a sharp and chaotic scream suddenly entered everyone's ears, and then, the pages of this big book Crazy without a name
Flipping wildly, the white text on the page seemed to have an independent life one by one, jumping up, struggling to turn into ink, trying to break free from the yellowed paper!
"Why is it a deep hound?"
Agou nodded half-understood, then looked down at his partner, but the latter silently got under the table next to him, holding his head in his huge paws, and said in a muffled voice, "Don't ask me , I don't know anything....It's too **** scary, this place..."
What happened next was really unbearable for Tian Chun to witness. Its whole body trembled into a ball, trembling behind Agou with its head in its arms. There was movement from the side, and the red light in the eye sockets flickered on and off: "Hey... oh, I'm going here... oh my mother, it's burning... oh, the bones are broken... oh, howling I can't stand it..."
The dining room fell silent.
Under the dim and cool sunlight, Fan Na, who was walking in the church courtyard, suddenly felt a chill, and shivered subconsciously.
