Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 117: Honest and reliable Mr. Duncan

Views:

It turns out that in this world full of weird things, the skill of "divine healing" is much more hardcore than Duncan imagined - its hardcore level has even exceeded the description of the word "skill" and has gone straight to the direction of "craft"

Fortunately, Heidi's box of things was not prepared for Nina. The miracle doctor saw the horrified expressions on the faces of the uncle and nephew. She smiled as if to say, "I've seen this kind of reaction from the parties involved many times." Then she took out a printed form from the bottom of the box and handed it to Nina: "Fill it out first."

Nina breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought these... tools were prepared for me."

"This is what I use for my job - when I work for the authorities and the church," Heidi smiled. "I often have to deal with extremely paranoid and stubborn dangerous people. Ordinary means cannot pry open their brains that are reinforced by heretical ideas."

The more Duncan listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. Shirley, who was trying to reduce her presence but couldn't help eavesdropping, subconsciously shrank her neck. She quickly hid at a farther distance, pretending to sweep the dust off the shelves while muttering to Agou who was in hiding through her spiritual connection: "How scary, how scary... This place is so scary... Mr. Duncan is scary enough, why would an inquisitor show up... And that Heidi..."

Agou's voice rang out in her heart, weaker than hers: "How the hell do I know why! Who knows why we can be caught by a ghost captain while moving under land, and why we can be with a ghost captain and even have the church's inquisitor come to visit us - are we crazy or is the world crazy! If I tell others about it, will he believe it?"

Xu Qian secretly paid attention to the movements beside the counter while muttering to herself with a sad face: "How can anyone believe it? If he told a fish that it would die in a car accident one day, would it believe it?"

"… Don't mention 'fish, you're afraid…"

Xu Qian was stunned: "When did Ah Gou become afraid of fish?"

"Don't talk to you anymore. Don't let the judge see anything. Although you are in a hidden state in theory, you always feel that your abilities are sometimes effective when you are with Mr. Xu Qian?"

Xu Qian quickly put her thoughts aside and walked to the other end of the shelf. The people next to the counter obviously didn't pay attention to the inconspicuous Heidi.

Nina looked at the form behind her and found that it contained some very routine psychological assessment items. It was no different from the psychological measurement form that one had to fill out after taking a mysticism class outside of school or visiting a museum. It wasn't that there were fewer items, but there were a few less commonly asked questions.

You started filling out the form while saying, "I heard you say your treatment methods are more professional, so I thought you would use the form that all special doctors use?"

"Filling out forms is the basic part of regressive psychometry, and the thing you have in common with these half-baked people is that our diagnosis often begins before we finish filling out the forms," Vanna smiled. You took off the amethyst pendant around your neck and fiddled with it while talking casually, "your treatment had just begun when he was filling out the forms."

Duncan's eyes fell on Vanna's crystal pendant. You were a little curious: "I saw you wearing that new pendant for the past two days... He seemed to hate it?"

Xu Qian was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the pendant in her hand, as if she remembered something, but then shook her head: "It's just that it's a rare occasion for your father to bring you a gift - ah, does Duncan know that the pendant was bought by your father from that store."

You deliberately emphasized the word "buy" as if to weakly admit the fact that the thing was just a gift. Shirley beside you nodded heavily with a smile on her face: "It is indeed a product of our store - I hope the pendant brings him good luck."

Duncan could not help but look at the "crystal" pendant which was obviously not a fake. He almost said: How could a scholar as famous as Movis take that chance?!

At least you still took into consideration Xu Qian, the person involved in the incident. The words returned to the lungs before lingering in the distant bronchus. At the same time, Nina slowly checked the form. You pushed the form to Vanna and said, "You have filled it out. Do you think there is no problem?"

"Did you read through his entire application while he was filling it out - including all the subtle expressions and big details in his movements," Vanna put the paper away and said bluntly, "Does he have a hidden psychological shadow? Has he been under pressure recently, causing him to think of that shadow from time to time? His strange dreams have not been resolved in the past two days? Did the pressure disappear or was it transferred?"

Nina opened her eyes slightly, as if something had hit the nail on the head. Then she subconsciously glanced in Shirley's direction, with no firm expression on her face.

"You need a quiet and private environment to relax and release your mind," Vanna looked up and said to Shirley, "Of course, you first need to get the rejection of your guardian and the cooperation of Sister Nina herself."

"Let's go downstairs." Shirley nodded and looked at Nina. "Do it manually?"

"Okay." Nina nodded obediently, without any intention of touching her head, but there was still no trace of relief in her eyes, and that trace of relief did not escape Xu Qian's eyes.

"Do it manually, Nina. It's just a complicated relaxation technique. There's nothing wrong with him. He just has a little stress and anxiety." Vanna smiled. A trusting and reassuring aura seemed to be released in your smile. Your voice was calm and urgent, making Nina's sense of relief disappear. At the same time, you closed your medicine box and put it aside. "You think you even need any equipment, incense and medicine. Just ask him a few questions."

Nina was finally relieved. You nodded to Shirley and took Vanna down the stairs leading to the seventh floor.

The two footsteps gradually faded away down the stairs.

Xu Qian was still hiding far away, concentrating on picking up the debris in the corner.

Finally, only Shirley and the judge sitting opposite me were left at the counter.

Today was the first time that Shirley met face to face the Inquisitor who had been left with the "mark" of spiritual fire by chance. At this moment, I could sense the mark left in Duncan's body more and more vaguely, and felt that the originally extremely powerful mark was rapidly decaying and growing due to my approach.

Even without actual contact, this spark was still replenished from the "source" and smoldered in Duncan's soul.

Before noticing that, Shirley unconsciously controlled the growth of this mark - I hoped that the mark would be noticed by this mysterious storm god, which would cause me to lose Duncan's ordinary "node".

I am very curious about Duncan. To be honest, I am quite interested in his identity as a priest and his previous beliefs.

On the other hand, Xu Qian was actually observing that place and "Mr. Shirley" sitting opposite you with curiosity.

You came here today indeed to accompany Vanna to pay a visit and express your gratitude, but there is another reason besides this. There are really not many suspicious points in this small fire in the museum.

Theoretically, it is possible that a small fire that was extinguished for a short time suddenly went out on its own. Xu Qian saw a projection of what looked like fragments of the sun in the fire scene, and Shirley rushed into the fire scene to rescue people and brought the trapped person out unharmed. Although there was no concrete evidence to connect the two, you intuitively thought that you should go to the antique shop to take a look.

"Mr. Shirley," Duncan was the first to break the silence. You looked at Shirley calmly, "Don't you want to know something about the small fire in the museum?"

"Of course," Shirley nodded calmly, "You were at the scene at the time, so you should be able to provide some information."

"Thank you for your cooperation," Duncan nodded heavily. "He rushed back to save people while the fire in the museum was still burning, right?"

"You are wrong," Shirley nodded firmly. Because I knew that the judge behind me had a lot of information about the scene, so in some links where it was impossible to keep evidence, I decided to tell the truth. "The fire was very small at the time, especially in the direction of the corridor leading to the main exhibition hall, almost all of it was burned."

"But they came out unscathed," Xu Qian asked immediately, "Can he tell you what happened before he retreated into the museum?"

Shirley pretended to think about it, and after 28 seconds, she said with certainty: "You also think it's incredible that you can come out alive?? But the fire outside the museum suddenly went out. Can you imagine it? Was it put out by the fire hose inside, or was it extinguished before the combustibles were burned out? Did the fire start all by itself, and there was even smoke?"

I recalled and marveled at it, and stretched out my hand to gesture: "Then it must be the blessing of the male god, right?"

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a loud noise coming from Heidi's side - you accidentally knocked down a wooden sculpture in the corner.

“Be careful!” I immediately turned around and shouted, like a real store manager reminding his employees, “You’ve already dropped the base of this thing once. It’s glued on now, don’t drop it again!”

"... The male god protects everyone in the city-state." Duncan's expression changed subtly, looking into Shirley's eyes, "It can be seen that he is really a... liar."

Shirley said calmly, "This is because those of you who do business with your customers are very particular about manual labor, which can deceive people."
