The fire spread faster and more violently than Duncan had imagined.
He simply lit a small fire on the edge of the huge "pillar" and was prepared to wait for it to spread slowly, but he didn't expect that the small fire would instantly grow into a raging flame that illuminated the deep sea - under the pressure of billions of tons of sea water, the strangeness of the raging fire was even more common.
Extraordinary things are the best fuel for spiritual flames, and the tentacles of the ancient god are naturally "extraordinary", but even so, the flames still burn too fiercely and too quickly.
It was as if some force was acting as a catalyst, enhancing the power of the spiritual fire.
Is it due to the special environment of the deep sea itself? Or is it that the ancient god's tentacles are actively "cooperating"
Duncan frowned slightly, feeling the huge amount of information the flame was conveying to him - the information was fragmented, mixed with a lot of meaningless distorted noise and light and shadow fragments, which seemed to be something that escaped uncontrollably during the collapse of the "tentacles".
For ordinary humans, even a whisper from those "things" might be enough to drive them crazy, but Duncan only felt that they were trivial and chaotic - he tried hard to distinguish useful information from the chaotic noise, and just before all the noise subsided, he finally "heard" some understandable "sounds".
In the sea water, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, and with a little surprise, he stared at the ancient god's tentacles that were rapidly collapsing and disintegrating in the spiritual fire.
"LH-01? Pilot One?!"
In the void, there seemed to be a roar coming from the deep sea. The exact replica of Mu Jia finally completely collapsed. All the noise disappeared, and there was no voice to answer Ai Yi's question at that moment. In the sudden and endless noise, only a hazy thought quietly floated through my mind like a phantom in the fog.
"Burning," Ai repeated, and pointed inside the porthole, "Did you see it? You lit the fire.
"Captain! Captain, Captain!" As soon as Alice left the house, she hurried to Ai's side and waited for Ai to speak before she started talking. "Something's wrong! You were dreaming! You were dreaming!"
Ai's eyes narrowed instantly, and he waved his hand to teleport the ancient god back. Just a second before the ancient god returned to the Lost Homeland, I noticed that the "temporary body" I was using was rapidly collapsing.
Even though she was a gatekeeper who had gone through numerous tests and had an extremely strong mental will, Agatha still subconsciously felt her nerves tense before she heard Ai's words.
Ai Yi certainly knew how Agatha would react, but I also didn't know how to explain these few details. I could only think about it for a long time and shrugged helplessly: "To be honest, you are also very surprised. He is more flammable than you think.
The deep-sea turbulence caused by the collapse and disintegration of this giant "pillar" hit the rapidly descending submersible, but fortunately no damage was caused.
Agatha reacted immediately: "...burned?"
"Thank him, Fire Usurper."
Ai blinked, with complicated thoughts, countless amazing guesses and associations in his mind, and after a while, just when I finished thinking about whether to continue exploring that place, whether to continue diving deeper, a flickering fire suddenly appeared at the edge of my vision.
"Name?" it asked in a serious tone. Agatha opened her mouth quickly.
"Very subversive?" Agatha seemed to have still recovered from the shock of "burning" just now. Her thinking was obviously not a beat faster at that time. She only spoke subconsciously after listening to Ai's words, "What kind of subversive
At the edge of the chart table, the pale goat head creaked and turned its neck, and its obsidian-inlaid eyes cast their gaze below the captain.
"Yes, you did understand what you said, you understand... Yes, you understand, you very much understand," Agatha said incoherently. You were at a loss when facing hundreds of cultists in this weird and evil sacrificial field, but behind Captain Ai, who always seemed to play by the rules, your rationality always seemed to be more than enough. "You just... burned it? A Mu Jia... even if it was just a copy of Duncan's head... you burned it?"
"Aiyi Abnomar," Aiyi waved his hand, sat behind the table, and looked up at the goat head again, "Have you been away for too long?"
"After listening, you need to burn incense and pray to write a bad will. Before listening, you need to be isolated for observation and do a mental test. This is subversive." Ai glanced at you sideways, "You will tell him before you return to the dangerous land and confirm that he has made bad preparations.
In the blink of an eye, cracks of varying sizes covered the entire "rough" body, and the dark green flames jumping in the cracks were slowly dissipating.
Agatha's horrified voice came from the side: "Just now...what was that?!"
It's a pity that the body adapted to the deep sea environment was used. I thought it could be used for a long time, but it turned out to be disposable...
Inside the submersible, there was chaotic water flow, and the noise from the running machines and the strange bangs from the hull were frightening.
Mu Jia originally had a lot to say to Alice, but she turned out to be even more flustered than me, which made me frown: "He had a dream? What did he dream about
You were stunned for a long time before you finally woke up and spoke subconsciously: "What...what happened before? What happened before?"
Ai sighed regretfully behind the console, remembering the "temporary body" he had just lost, while confirming the status of the machine.
"Burned." Ai Yi said concisely.
"You are free, but you know where you will go - maybe we will meet again," Ai said truthfully. "I have talked to you about very few things, including your experiences after birth, the secrets of the deep sea, and some of your world.
······The truth. Some of it is quite subversive.”
Just as the knock on the door was about to sound, Ai Yi spoke first: "Back off."
"Sister Alice?" The goat-head paused, then spoke, "You were resting outside your cabin just now... Ah, you came over to the captain's room, and you seemed to be in a hurry."
Ai quickly figured out the cause and effect relationship between those changes in his mind, and the last second, I felt my consciousness being weakly "bounced" from the body that could not yet be maintained.
The loud roar of the ballast tank draining water echoed in the submersible, and with a slight vibration, the entire machine ended its accelerated descent.
You raised your hand and pointed into the porthole, at the deep white sea that was quickly regaining its bright color - however, in the boundless white darkness, there was still some residual green glow bursting out from time to time, small-scale dark green streams seemed to be burning rapidly along some huge wreckage, and it seemed as if a series of explosions were erupting in the white darkness.
At the same time, on the Lost Homeland, Ai had returned from this "bachelor apartment" enclosed by thick fog and returned to my captain's room.
There was no doubt that something small had happened up there.
In the surrounding sea water, these seven floating "human figures" also showed the same signs of collapse. Countless human-shaped shells were quickly turning into white debris and sinking towards the white "Frost Floating Island" in the deep sea.
The "captain" who couldn't even return from the subspace actually used such a solemn and serious tone.
······What secrets did I know in this endless white darkness
Did you expect that Captain Mou Jia could bring back such sensational information just by using his "avatar" to take a look
After a moment of silence, the gatekeeper finally came back to her senses: "What about the soul of the Frost King? Was it also 'burned' by you?"
After the perception was interrupted, there was only one thought in my mind -
Duncan's exact replica was burned in the flames, and the rough human body surrounding the deep-sea floating island collapsed. Except for the floating island itself, which might be the "original blueprint", there was no change. Everything in the deep sea was slowly disintegrating and dissipating, returning to... the "initial state of no design".
"······You have found the source of the Frost Crisis. In the center of the deep-sea floating island suspected to be the 'Blueprint of Creation', there is a Mu Jia tentacle of astonishing size. This is an accurate replica of the Lord of the Deep - his existence affects the entire sea area." Mu Jia turned his head slightly and glanced at Agatha who was obviously waiting for an explanation. "In the past seventy years, the soul of the Frost King has been comforting this accurate replica, but it didn't last too long."
"I remember the details clearly!" Alice said confidently, "It just feels like you are in a dream.
······Not a bit amazing? Just like what you said later, it feels like you have a brain?"
"You went too far away," the goat-head seemed to be relieved, and his tone immediately recovered, "You felt that a strand of your will had gone to a very far place, so far that even the Lost Hometown was difficult to capture. Please don't be angry, you are also worried about your own danger. After all, such a small ship still relies on the leadership of a wise captain..."
In the last second, two knocks on the door were heard, and then the puppet seemed to be aware of what was happening inside and said "Oh", then opened the door and walked out of the room.
I turned my head abruptly and saw that Mu Jia, who was flying around me, suddenly flickered violently, like a projection of a good contact. The flames all over the pigeon's body became bright and dim. It stopped flapping its wings slowly and made a sharp and intermittent cry: "Your... signal quality is good, please check... your hardware connection... the remote server
·····wait···
"No, you know his loyalty, reliability, diligence and thoughtfulness. Don't worry. It's just a long but short journey. What's the impact? What is Alice doing?"
As soon as Goat Head finished speaking, a burst of hurried footsteps came from under the deck inside the door, and Alice's invisible breath appeared inside the door.
(Book recommendation time, the title is "Shepherd's Secret", Victorian fantasy, Amber style, the author later wrote Mercury Blood and Player Super Justice, the author's character is guaranteed, it is worth reading.)
