Deep Sea Embers Chapter 365: Kids who share secrets

Agatha knew that Bishop Ivan's life had come to an end many years ago—under the tightly wrapped bandage, there was actually not much flesh and blood left to support him standing here. Apart from the miracle that Bartok sent down, there was only one stubborn soul left.

Few people know what happened to the bishop's body. Even Agatha, who is the gatekeeper, only knows that it was an "accident" that happened many, many years ago. Do not talk about the real circumstances of the "accident" with anyone, including in front of her.

Naturally, Agatha will not take the initiative to touch this secret.

Bishop Ivan's heart was obviously very heavy. He was silent for a long time before he suddenly said: "We are facing a crisis."

"Yes, Bishop Ivan," Agatha nodded, "I will do my best to find out the truth and destroy those plots to annihilate the believers."

"No, you don't understand," Bishop Ivan shook his head, "The truth of this crisis may have gone beyond our understanding and imagination, Agatha, the activities of those cultists may be the cause of this crisis." Part of the crisis, but by no means the whole, I have a feeling..."

Agatha frowned slightly: "A feeling?"

"A similar atmosphere, just like fifty years ago... before the chaos broke out, the whole city was filled with an atmosphere very similar to today," Bishop Ivan said slowly, "It also seems normal However, strange and inexplicable details are revealed everywhere, as if suddenly living in a dream that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, we occasionally glimpse the terrible scene on the edge of the dream, but the sad mind of mortals refuses to understand all this, which makes us unable to understand Peeping through the reality that is close at hand... Do you have this feeling? It is as if... the distortion is close in front of our eyes, but we have always closed our eyes."

"I don't understand..." Agatha hesitated, "You mean, cognitive interference? This interference has already affected our judgment?"

Bishop Ivan did not answer her, but after several seconds of silence, he suddenly mentioned a seemingly irrelevant topic: "Agatha, did I tell you about the last Queen's Guard fifty years ago?" , thing? Did you mention the "Second Waterway" deep in the city-state?

"Second Waterway?" Agatha was startled, and then some information emerged in her mind, "I know something about this, it was part of the huge underground facility built by the Frost Queen for the city-state, but as the Queen At the end of the era, this unfinished facility was abandoned, and now due to the serious collapse and excessive financial pressure, it is still abandoned there—most people don’t even know it exists at all.”

"Yeah, it's abandoned, and only gatekeepers like you or old antiques like me know about it." Bishop Ivan shook his head and said.

"What about the last Queen's Guard?" Agatha asked, "Why did you bring this up all of a sudden?"

"The last Queen's Guard was the last army that refused to surrender after the rebel army broke through the Queen's Palace, and relied on the city-state's underground facilities to fight until the last." Bishop Ivan's voice was low, as if lost in memory, "Their last The place where they held their ground was the entrance to the Second Waterway—after that, they blew up all the connecting wells and buried them underground. The reason why I bring this up today... is because I suddenly recalled A rumor from the beginning.”

Agatha's eyes suddenly became serious: "A rumor?"

"It is said that... when the shaft was blown up, the soldiers attacking the underground suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the depths of the underground. In the completely collapsed underground, the last queen's guard suddenly shouted, It was as if they were attacking someone," Bishop Ivan slowly recalled, "for a long time after that, people often reported hearing the sound of shouting and charging coming from the depths of the ground, and finally there were rumors , Said that 'the last Queen's Guard "has become a mutant army deep underground. They fight in the dark every day, full of anger, and wait until the new order established by the traitors ushers in the most vulnerable moment. The underground came out in full force to settle the old accounts of the year..."

Agatha's expression became serious: "The most vulnerable moment of the new order... You just said that we are facing a crisis beyond comprehension, and the city is permeated

The atmosphere is similar to fifty years ago, is this the most vulnerable moment? The legendary "Queen's Guard" "will emerge from the ground? Do you think this legend is true?"

"I don't believe in this legend - the Queen's Guard has been wiped out long ago, I witnessed it with my own eyes, even though..." Bishop Ivan said, he paused suddenly, as if thinking of something, but shook again Shaking his head, "Even if some survivors temporarily survived in the Second Waterway, they would not be able to survive to this day. The few surviving descendants cannot shake the rule of the city-state, even if we encounter a crisis now."

Agatha did not speak for a while, and after a silence of more than ten seconds, she suddenly spoke: "The legend of the last Queen's Guard may be false, but it is true that there is a large-scale uncontrolled area under the Frost City-State , what you are worried about is not the Queen's Guard that disappeared fifty years ago, but something else XZ is in the second waterway?"

"We have been searching the whole city for a long time, and although we have caught quite a few Annihilation Cultists, they are all insignificant and small characters, and most of them do not have strong concealment skills--it is impossible for them Creating so many 'fakes' and 'element pollution in the city-state, it is even less likely to cause changes in Dagger Island," Bishop Ivan nodded, "Now it seems that those minions we caught are more likely to come from A large lair leaked out, and scattered soldiers came out. Now most of the city-state has been searched more than once, if there is any place that has not been found... I am afraid that only the deep underground remains.”

Agatha pondered for a moment, then spoke uncertainly: "But according to the data, most of the second waterway has collapsed severely, and they are isolated from each other into a network of death lanes. In addition, there is poisonous substance pollution and a large area of ​​darkness. There is no way to survive in that area - the Annihilation Cultists are also living people, except for a few priests who are about to transform themselves into deep demons, most of the Annihilation Cultists still need the living environment of normal humans... How could they have been Hiding there?"

"At least we should look for it," Bishop Ivan said slowly, "Start searching from the collapse point around the boiling gold mine."

Agatha thought for a while, then nodded lightly: "This requires the cooperation of the city hall - protective equipment, underground working machinery, professional engineering personnel, the cathedral does not have such reserves."

"I will negotiate," Bishop Ivan nodded, "Please list what manpower and equipment you need, and I can find a way for you."

"Okay, I will give you the list before noon," Agatha was not polite, "Before the personnel and supplies are in place, I will have a good chat with those Oblivion Cultists who have been captured, Let's see if they can reveal some useful information..."

The night faded, the sky gradually became brighter, and the phenomenon 001 began to rise from the edge of the city-state. The brilliant sun disc climbed up to the sky little by little. The cold accumulated overnight.

At the entrance of the No. 3 cemetery, the heavy carved iron fence door creaked open. In front of the cemetery gate, he took a deep breath and looked at the clear sky.

The sky was fine, but for some reason, this clear morning could not stop the irritability in his heart. Looking in the direction of the city block, the old guard only felt that the vague and noisy sounds of cars and horses coming in were vague and noisy. Like the restless wind last night.

In addition, even the clear sky at this moment seems to be fake.

He complained in a low voice, then looked towards the ramp in front of the cemetery.

The wrinkles on the old man's face stretched for a moment, but in the next second, all the wrinkles tightened up again, and his brows were also tightly wrinkled.

He saw a small figure appearing on the ramp, walking towards this side with difficulty and full of motivation-after noticing the old man's gaze, the figure stopped deliberately and walked towards this side happily Waving hands.

The old guard scowled.

He waited for the other party to approach, and after Annie started patting the snowflakes on her pants and boots, she said with a grim expression, "You are here again—I was quiet for a day yesterday, thinking that you could finally stay at home honestly Got it, come again today?"

"I also wanted to come yesterday," Ann

Ni stuck out her tongue, "But Mom said there was too much snow on the road yesterday, and she can't go out until the snowplow has cleared the road. She didn't wait for the old man in front of her to speak, and she was already familiar He took out a small bag and handed it over: "Biscuits!"

"....I'm eating biscuits every day now~IndoMTL.com~ The old man glanced at the thing handed over by the other party, his eyelids twitched, but he still reached out to take it, "Thank you Ms. Belloni for me. "

Anne smiled happily.

"Anything else?" The old guard glanced at the girl in front of him, "Today the cemetery is not open for visits."

"It's okay, just talk to you," Annie said with a smile, "Do you know? We have a few new guests who have recently moved into our house. Guess who they are?"

Twelve-year-old children are really not good at suppressing the secrets in their hearts.

"I'm not interested," the old guard felt puzzled and waved his hand impatiently, "The house belongs to your family. You can rent it to anyone you want. What does it have to do with me?"

"It's that big uncle with many bandages on his body and wearing black clothes!" Annie didn't care about the old man's response. The one at the gate of the cemetery... is the guard grandpa, are you okay?"
