Deep Sea Embers Chapter 86: Better Solutions
Nina went to school, just like many times over the years, she once again believed in her uncle's promise to herself, and believed that he would be waiting in the store for her to come home from school.
It's also possible that she didn't believe it for a long time, but she still insisted on acting like she believed it.
Duncan stood behind the window on the first floor of the antique store, watching the figure of Nina trot quickly turn around the alley at the end, disappearing from his field of vision.
Uncle Duncan will wait for her at the store, he promises.
"Aye, come here."
The thought flashed in his heart, and a green flame suddenly passed through the air, and the figure of the pigeon appeared in front of Duncan.
The bird tilted its head and looked at its master with mung bean eyes.
Through the connection established by the fire of the spiritual body, Duncan can clearly perceive the position of the pigeon and its state-although it is not yet able to fully share the five senses, but the current level of perception A lot can already be done.
Duncan lowered his head and looked into Aye's small eyes: "You are actually very smart, you can understand me completely, and you can do a lot of things, right?"
The pigeon immediately flapped its wings proudly: "Loyalty is unspeakable, loyalty is unspeakable!"
"Then I have a bold idea now, and I want you to try it out." Duncan smiled, and then took out the sun badge from his arms that had now become a "Cultist Approach Alarm".
He carefully wrapped the badge in a piece of cloth to keep it out of the public eye, and then carefully tied it around Aye's back with a strip of cloth.
The pigeon cooperated very well from beginning to end, and even helped Duncan to tie the cloth with its mouth. It seemed to fully understand what its owner wanted to do, except that it could not say exactly what it was thinking, it was as smart as Normal people.
"You are flying around the city, and when the badge is hot, search for a place that resonates, preferably specific to a certain building," Duncan explained to the pigeon earnestly, "I will perceive your location... by the way. , first move around Xiacheng District and Cross Street, don't go to Shangcheng District, I'm not familiar with them, and I can't determine the address just by positioning."
The pigeon flapped its wings and tilted its head: "A whole time of fries?"
Duncan said with a stern face: "If you can locate one, I can bury you with chips."
Without saying a word, the pigeon fluttered its wings and rushed to the gate, as if afraid of the owner's repentance.
Duncan smiled and watched the pigeon fly farther and farther in the sky. In his perception, he clearly tracked the current position of the pigeon and the general state of the surrounding environment. Then he returned to the room and took the Zhang Pland city-state. He placed his map on the counter. While looking at the map, he recalled the plane details of the lower city in his mind, while tracking Ai in his perception, constantly confirming the position of the bird.
It turned out to be easier than he expected - the connection made by the spirit fire was stronger than the original, Ay's flight path was almost a clear and bright line in his mind, and then there was a map and With the aid of memory, it is not difficult to locate the bird at all.
This is a good approach.
Duncan exhaled softly and leaned back in a comfortable position behind the counter—he promised Nina that he wouldn't go out and "seek danger," which was naturally what he had to do.
But he can release the pigeons to hunt and write a report at home...
In all fairness, this is a better solution. Flying pigeons can be much more efficient than his own car wandering around the city. Of course, there are disadvantages to this, that is, there is no way to find a cult den. After mixing it in to find out information, there is only a little bit of reporting value left.
But Duncan doesn't care much about this regret. Anyway, according to the experience of attending the last rally, those cultists who can be easily found are essentially a group of scumbags who are inquiring about news at the grassroots level. Their intelligence value This is limited, and if Ai really senses any "big fish"...he also has a follow-up method to "catch up" the big fish alone.
After all, Ai's ability is more than just flying around with a sensor on his back - his job is to do courier...
When I really found the big fish, I asked Ai to directly open the door and transfer the person to the Lost Country. His body was on the ship, so he could more easily interrogate him.
It just so happened that he hadn't tried letting pigeons transmit humans, so he couldn't do this kind of experiment with innocent citizens - but that's not the case with those cult priests who kill and gouge their hearts out when they're idle.
They can be "consumables" when necessary.
Duncan just leaned back in his chair and sensed Ay's position while mulling over his plan in his mind, increasingly feeling that it was a perfect plan—his draft report letter, draft interrogation, search and transmission The process has been planned, and now there is a two-legged purse called "Sun Believer".
The only thing that still needs to be considered in this whole set of plans is that if his report letter is true, how should the authorities explain to Nina when the bonus is issued - he has promised other girls not to go out for "hunting" of.
Duncan thought about it for a long time and suddenly remembered something——
In this world that has developed into the industrial age, there is such a thing as a "bank".
This is the inevitable result of the development of economy and productivity, and it is also a necessary condition.
While the banking system in this world is far less convenient and widespread than it is on Earth, the minimum account function is always there.
The city-states on the boundless sea even built a financial system of interoperability and flow - although maintaining this system is far more difficult than on Earth, they built this system.
The original owner of this body is not very good, and has not established an account in the city-state bank - this is a very normal thing in the lower city, usually, only decent people in the upper city can reach the bank. Dealing with "levels", but the bank itself is open to all citizens.
There is a bank in Cross Street.
Duncan had a plan in his mind. He decided to go to the Cross Street in a day or two to establish his first "bank account" in this world, so that if he expanded his activities in the human world, the flow of funds would It will also become more convenient - and even if you don't think about the future, when you write a report letter in the future, you can save the link of leaving the address and just leave an account.
Of course, whether this is feasible or not will have to be tried at that time. After all, the original owner of his body did not have much experience in dealing with the city-state police department (or strictly speaking, did not have much positive experience), but Duncan think it is reasonable to do so.
In this unsafe world, anonymous reporting should be the normal choice of many enthusiastic citizens under the cautious psychology.
As for today...he still decided to stay in the antique shop peacefully.
This is not all because he has to strictly abide by the "promise" with Nina, but because this is the first time he has released the dove so far and then used the power of the fire of the spirit body to locate it. Proficiency makes him have to concentrate extraordinarily, so he needs a stable environment.
Another reason is that he really should be serious about doing "business" for a day - this store has not yet opened in his hands.
Duncan stretched and stood up from behind the counter ~IndoMTL.com~ He slowly came to the gate and hung the "Opening" sign outside.
He now has some plans and a new plan, and the beginning of all this was just because he made a promise with a seventeen-year-old girl. This is really... an interesting experience.
…
In the dilapidated and abandoned factory near the Cross Street, church guards wearing long coats with black background and silver edges have drawn up a blockade around them. Inquisitors wearing light armor and carrying a great sword of blessing Accompanied by two deep-sea priests, Fanna walked through the sloping stairs and came to the abandoned space on the ground floor of the factory.
Everything here remains the same as it was originally - after the first guards received a report and discovered this meeting place, they have blocked the scene until now.
In the huge basement, the disgusting smell of blood is particularly strong, mixed with the pungent smell of burning chemicals in the middle, and the bodies of the cultists are lying on the ground, but apart from these sun heretics Aside from the bodies, no traces of "attackers" were found at the scene - no additional bodies, not even additional pieces of clothing.
Fanna frowned slightly.
This is a one-sided crushing battle, the attackers are far more powerful than these cultists who are basically ordinary people, and it seems that things happened so suddenly that a considerable number of these sun heretics They were all killed directly before they had time to resist.
Who moved the hand?
A wild superhero with a personal vendetta against these cultists? Another powerful heretic order? Or some kind of out-of-control **** sacrifice where these self-defeating heretics have summoned monsters from the "deep" that they simply can't control?
The young Inquisitor was lost in thought.
