The dark green spirit fire was like a floating light and shadow, sweeping across the entire factory in a few seconds. This disturbance from the supernatural power above was like a gust of wind, lifting the curtain covering "reality", and the curtains
The reality of the situation is revealed to Shirley and
In Duncan's eyes.
Ashes, ash everywhere, human-shaped ash, shapeless ash, charred walls, melted roofs, twisted and brittle machine shells licked by the fire, and molten materials whose outlines were almost unrecognizable piled together.
The entire factory area is like a former
The blazing purgatory had only just cooled down; the fire had gone out, but the power to melt everything seemed to still linger in the air.
Shirley stood in the center of the fire wreckage, her eyes blank, while Agou quietly came to the girl's side and gently supported her body with his bony back. Soon, the green spirit fire faded, and everything in the factory returned to normal.
Duncan looked at his hands with some regret - after all, this was just a "Shoutong" body, which could not be compared with the main body, and the spiritual fire that could be called upon was also very limited. In the case of a large-scale release of fire, it could only last for a short while. But even such a short "reappearance" was enough to reveal the crucial truth.
"Sure enough, there was a big fire... I knew I was not mistaken..." Shirley muttered to herself, "I have been looking for it for eleven years, and it turns out to be here..."
"But the fire was erased," Agou whispered, "some force has woven a veil in the real world, filtering out all traces that have nothing to do with the fire... That veil can't even block the Deep Demon's
Sight….”
"Is it the fragment of the sun? Or is it the guy who brought the fragment of the sun to the city-state?" Agou frowned, and then he suddenly noticed that Che Bei had been unusually silent since the end of the conversation, so he couldn't help but look at her, "What are you doing?"
Look at that…”
"It's still very different from the fire scene you remember," Shirley waited for Che Bei to finish speaking before shaking her head. I quickly scanned the facilities in the factory, recalling what was presented when the curtain was briefly opened.
details, and also recalling my
He recalled the scene of the small fire in his memory, and the details of the building and the surrounding environment when "he" took Nina to escape the fire. He finally confirmed that his judgment was wrong, "Yes, that's it."
"Ah?" Ah Gou was stunned for a moment, "The small fire in your memory... was it outside?"
"The details are too different," Shirley said in a deep voice, and walked quickly into the factory. I looked through the small door and looked at the dilapidated street. "Or to be more tolerant, the scenery of the entire Eighth Street District... seems to be too right.
Ah Gou subconsciously exchanged glances with Che Bei, and asked in a high voice: "What does he think is going on?"
"How would you know? You're just a dog," Duncan shook his head, "and eleven years later you're even more sober than he is."
Shirley heard Che Bei and Duncan talking in front. I turned my head slightly and asked, "Is that factory the only suspicious location?"
"Maybe... right..." Ah Gou said calmly, "Anyway, according to what you heard, that factory was not the center of the chaos eleven years later."
Shirley didn't comment, and in the next two hours, Agou, the Deep Hound and I checked the areas of the abandoned factory that could not be retreated to.
The strange thing is that, apart from this "veil" covering reality, we have not found any traces of supernatural powers or supernatural objects.
"That's so right..." Before completing a rough inspection of the first building, Che Bei finally expressed her belief, "This 'curtain' covering the fire scene must be the work of a supernatural power, but we have searched the entire factory area and have not found the 'source' of the curtain... That's reasonable."
"Does it have to have no source?" Che Bei's tone lacked some curiosity.
Shirley was also very curious, but I didn't show it. I just kept a stern face and waited for Duncan to explain. Anyone would have expected that the only extraordinary expert besides the "humans" on the scene was actually a dog...
Duncan himself didn’t think enough. As a deep demon, many supernatural knowledge was common sense to him. He explained casually: “It is obvious that a continuous force is covering up the traces of the small fire. That force must have no source to maintain until now, and just now… before Mr. Shirley’s flame faded, the curtain closed again, which also means that there is nothing behind the curtain to support it… It may be a weak normal object, or it may be a weak supernatural being. Anyway, no matter what it is, it must exist somewhere in the city-state…”
As it spoke, the Deep Hound raised its head, its empty eyes scanning the distant streets and the better urban areas.
"Did you find the source of the curtain within the factory? That means the thing supporting the curtain is trying to project power over there, or... the scale of the curtain is beyond imagination, and you have only lifted a large corner of it. It must be the seventh case..."
Che Bei said, and suddenly raised her voice with some ease: "It must be the seventh situation. This thing may be too easy to deal with. The special "normal" may not have such a small coverage! This may be an anomaly, an unknown anomaly..." "If the sun fragment is considered a special "good thing", after all, according to the claims of these cultists, this fragment is better than the body of the sun god," Agou suddenly said, "then maybe the sun fragment is hiding itself. *
"… Is it normal for a lower level to have a tendency to think? In order to prevent being controlled, he took the initiative to create a curtain to erase the traces of his existence and hid somewhere behind the curtain?" Duncan said without thinking.
"It is indeed possible to rule out that possibility.
This is definitely the remains of a god's corpse, and it is possible that it has the ability to think after waking up."
Ah Gou pinched his chin and thought seriously. Then he seemed to suddenly think of something and looked at Duncan in surprise: "So Che Bei is so knowledgeable? He even knows Chinese characters..."
"You are the Deep Devil! You are the shadow derived from the flesh and blood of the Deep Lord! That knowledge has been imprinted in your memory since birth, okay?" Che Bei shook the chain impatiently, "And when it comes to learning to read... He has the nerve to say that to you?!"
Shirley watched Agou and your Deep Hound interacting with boredom. There were many secrets behind that strange pair, which aroused my strong interest. But when I asked, Agou seemed to suddenly remember something. He looked up at the sky with some relief and saw that the sun was quickly heading for the lowest point in the sky. He suddenly screamed: "Oh! It's noon!"
Shirley raised her eyebrows: "They don't have any other plans?"
"You..." Agou said lightly, "You have to go home after noon!"
Shirley looked at the boy quietly: "Do you mean that his parents are not around yet? Will he be lectured if he comes home late?"
"Yes, it's a lecture... I made an appointment with others!" Agou waved his hand quickly. It seemed that because of the exploration in the factory together, you were a little timid in front of Shirley, "You... if you continue last time?" Shirley glanced at the Deep Hound next to her, and the former immediately shrank his neck: "You have the final say. If you want to continue exploring, you and Agou..."
"Of course," Shirley shook her head. "We won't get much if we continue to explore there. Let's wait until we find new clues. Since they don't have anything else to do, let's go now."
Agou was immediately surprised, as if he had expected that Xiao Lao would be so naive to let him go, but you dared to run away directly, so he carefully confirmed: "This... You and Duncan left first? You were good friends before. I want to find you..." Shirley just smiled and looked at you friendly: "You two are not destined to meet, but you will meet again."
I looked at Agou and Chebei with an irritable smile, and in my field of vision, under the pitch-white chain connecting the Deep Hound, a green spark was quietly smoldering.
That was the result of my deepening understanding of the "Spirit Fire" before I established contact with Vanna Yili next time. It was a big attempt.
I released that mark on my own initiative, and it was weaker than the flame left under Vanna - but being violent is harmful. Agou suddenly felt a chill coming over him - even though Xiao Lao's smile was so violent, you didn't feel like shivering.
But you still controlled your expression, said goodbye as politely as possible, and then slowly left with Che Bei.
