Deep Sea Embers Chapter 8: Sun

A puppet, one so delicate and lifelike that Duncan almost couldn't tell it apart at first glance - she lay quietly in the ornate wooden box, as if a man was sleeping in a coffin lady, waiting for someone to wake it up.

Duncan really thinks he'll wake up in the next second.

But this is just an illusion, the doll just lays quietly in the box, unresponsive to the surrounding environment.

Duncan watched this strange... "thing" vigilantly and cautiously: a doll was nothing strange in itself, but the appearance of the other person too close to the real person and the coffin-like wooden box made him instinctively feel When he came to a danger, and then thought of the process of this box appearing on the Lost Homeland inexplicably, it was no wonder that he was vigilant.

After observing for a long time, Duncan finally made sure that the gorgeous Gothic doll in the box would not suddenly jump up to surprise himself, and he was slightly relieved, then he frowned and asked the goat head: "You What do you think this is the case?"

"This should be the important cargo escorted by the previous ship," Goat's Head replied immediately, although it had previously stated that it did not recognize the strange wooden box that suddenly appeared on the deck, but its experience of matters at sea Obviously richer than the fake captain Duncan. "The wooden box has symbols pointing to the gods on the outside, and there are pins around the box for fixing the chain, which may indicate that it was in some kind of sealed state - it is a risk to transport sealed things on the boundless sea. Very high thing, that ship seems to have some background."

"Seal?" Duncan's eyelids jumped subconsciously, and then he looked at the lid of the box that had been completely opened by him. When he came to the Lost Country, the lid was broken, so he could easily be taken by himself. Push, although he doesn't understand anything like seals, he believes that the seal on this thing has definitely failed, "So this thing is dangerous?"

"It's dangerous for vulnerable ordinary people, but I don't think it's any threat to you - this kind of 'abnormal' that can be sealed with special skills, can't resist Captain Duncan's Power."

Duncan was silent, his face serious, but his thoughts were heaving.

The compliment from the goat's head sounded quite satisfying - if he was really "Captain Duncan" maybe he really believed it, but he wasn't, so he was panicking now.

Because the words of the goat head have made it clear that the doll lying in the coffin is a "dangerous item"! It's just that it can't threaten the real captain!

Although he has the name of Captain Duncan now, and even seems to have taken over the opponent's body and mastered some power, "Zhou Ming" is quite self-aware - he does not think that this will make him become Same with that "real Captain Duncan".

He doesn't know much about the world, the ship, or even his current body.

In addition, he also keenly noticed that a new strange word appeared in Goathead's words just now - "abnormal".

Irregularity is abnormal, which sounds like a very common word, but the extra emphasis in the goat's head makes him faintly aware that this word seems to have a special meaning here.

Perhaps, the word "abnormal" in this world refers not only to the meaning of "extraordinary", but also refers to a certain type of thing? Like...a puppet lying in a coffin.

Unfortunately, he has no good reason to ask about something that should be "common sense" here.

After sighing in his heart that he still needs to carefully collect intelligence and accumulate knowledge, Duncan frowned and gave the puppet one last look, as if he had made up his mind: "I should throw it back into the sea."

When he said this, there was a hint of hesitation in his heart, especially when he looked at the doll, this hesitation was especially obvious.

Of course, this is not because of the simple reason of "this doll is very beautiful", but because... "she" is really like a living person sleeping in a coffin, thinking of throwing it back into the sea. At times, Duncan even felt like he was throwing a living person overboard.

But this hesitant mood finally strengthened his determination.

Because he has long known that there are many strange and bizarre things in this world - although so far he has only come into contact with the Lost Homes in this world, but even if it is only on this ship, he I have already seen the talking goat head, the mast that sails by itself, the ship's lights that never go out, and the strange and dangerous sea, the haunting spirit world and endless sea fog...

And just now, he also crashed into a mechanical ship that was transporting sealed objects on this strange sea, and the things that the ship "escorted" went to the deck of the Lost Country.

As a sensible and prudent person, he can't keep something that is very likely to contain strange and dangerous powers around because the doll looks beautiful.

Regret for regret, Duncan finally firmly closed the lid of the "coffin" again, because he was worried, he found nails and hammers from the cabin again, and seriously put another circle on the coffin. nails.

Finally, he pushed the "coffin" containing the doll to the edge of the deck.

The voice of the goat head came into my ears: "You can dispose of your trophies at will, but I will still make recommendations respectfully and humbly, you don't need to be so cautious, Homeless has not added trophies for a long time... "

"Shut up." Duncan simply cut off the goat's head.

The goat head fell silent, and Duncan kicked the "coffin" hard, kicking it directly into the sea.

The heavy wooden box fell straight on the edge of the deck and fell straight into the sea, which had returned to its normal color. After making a dull noise, it floated up from the water and gradually drifted towards the stern of the Lost Country.

Duncan watched the box drift away, until it was completely blocked by the stern, then he was slightly relieved, then he looked up and looked into the distance, and saw that the fog on the sea had completely dissipated, and the blue sea was disappearing. Around the township number slowly ups and downs.

This ship has completely left the "spirit world" and returned to the real dimension.

On the nearby waters, there was no sign of the mechanical ship that had briefly rendezvoused with the Homeless.

Duncan frowned slightly and briefly estimated the time elapsed after the two ships crossed and the respective speeds of the two ships.

Based on the current conditions at sea, the ship shouldn't have disappeared from sight so quickly.

"...Is this also because of this strange sea? Or is it related to the so-called 'spiritual voyage'?"

Duncan muttered in his heart, but soon his attention was drawn to something else—

He saw a golden light suddenly appear in the depths of the dark clouds that had never dispersed above the sea.

The bright golden sunlight gradually fills up, the clouds like a heavy drapery gradually dissipate as if being swept away by an invisible hand, and the gloomy sea surface is gradually illuminated by the sun - Duncan stands on the bow of the Homeless , staring at the scenery with the clouds dissipating with wide eyes, at this moment, he suddenly felt an inexplicable touch.

Ever since he learned of the existence of "this side" a few days ago, and since he first explored this strange ship, the cloud has always shrouded the entire ocean, so much so that he almost thinks that there is no such thing in this world. Sunshine, you must think that this world is always cloudy~IndoMTL.com~ He has been away from the sun for too long, even across the "door", in Zhou Ming's single apartment, the thick fog outside the window has long been blocked. sun.

But now, the boundless sea is clear.

After being away from the sun for a long time, he finally has the feeling of seeing the sun again on the "this side" of the world.

Duncan took a deep breath subconsciously, and opened his hands in the direction of the sun, and the thick cloud layer quickly dissipated and faded as if in response. The huge sphere shrouded by the flow of light caught Duncan's eyes.

All of Duncan's expressions froze at the moment he opened his hands to meet the sun.

He stared straight at the sky, the sun was very dazzling, but far less dazzling than he was familiar with. He could clearly see the thing hanging in the sky, and it seemed to have countless dense lines. From the outer shell of the sphere, you can see the brilliant light flow overflowing around it, and in the background of the interweaving light flow, the two ring structures that are distributed in concentric circles with the central sphere as the center are slowly running.

Duncan squinted his eyes, and he vaguely discerned that the two rings seemed to be connected by countless intricate runes, as if there was some kind of supreme force inscribed in the sky with eternal bondage. The "sun" was imprisoned in the sky.

Duncan failed to embrace the sunshine he had longed for.

There is no sunshine in this world at all.

"What's that?" he said softly, his voice low and cold.

"Of course it's the sun, Captain." Goathead's voice was as calm as ever.
