Noticing the seriousness in Duncan's words, Vanna subconsciously had many associations and guesses in her mind - but the next second, she forcibly controlled her thoughts and nodded solemnly with Morris.
Controlling your curiosity is the basic rule for survival in this world.
After confirming that Morris and Vanna had realized the seriousness of the matter, Duncan breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded to Alice beside him and said, "Pick up the pile of things on the table. Don't pour them into the sea. Burn them directly."
Watching Alice swiftly clean up the mess on the "table", Duncan sat back in his chair, his mind still recalling what he had seen in "that strange dark space" and thinking about the information revealed in those "conversations".
At the same time, he was also thinking about how to establish contact with that dark space again.
The manuscript cannot bear the impact of the "truth"... ... Then where is the original copy of this "blasphemous book"? If we get the original copy, can we establish a stable connection with that strange dark space? Or... ... are there other extraordinary items that can achieve similar effects
Deng Qing recalled his previous experience of having a dream on the Lost Homeship, but then mistakenly entering the subspace on another Lost Homeship - behind the door of the captain's room of the other Lost Homeship was the strange dark space.
So he boldly guessed that the "dark space" itself should be
A "place" that actually exists in the warp, and establishing a connection with it requires a certain medium and skill. The "manuscript" that Morris brought helped him establish this connection, but... it was not -
It must be the only available "medium". If you can find it again
The method of going to "another lost homeland" might also work.
How... Subspace
Duncan frowned and immediately restrained the idea of going back to "this direction".
Because he couldn't be sure whether the thought came from his own or was "released" to him by the subspace.
But one thing is very clear.
I need more "samples" - whether it's the golden mask of the Sun Cult, the blasphemous book manuscript of the Annihilation Cult, or something in the hands of the End Preacher, all of these are fine.
It helps him understand the truth about this world.
Thinking of this, Duncan immediately raised his head and said to Morris and Vanna across from him: "Do you know where I can get more similar items? I mean, items like this 'Book of Blasphemy', which the cultists use for major ceremonies and preaching."
"You want more?" Morris was surprised, then thought about it seriously and shook his head. "This... I'm afraid it's difficult. Although the Orthodox Church and the city-state authorities often seize some cult items, usually these things will be destroyed after necessary identification and research, no matter how special they are or how valuable they are.
Duncan raised his eyebrows: "Destroy it directly? No samples left?" "No samples left, only the data," the one who answered him was Vanna. In the relevant city, this judge lady was obviously
Morris is more professional. "Some extremely dangerous things will not even leave any information, only some descriptive texts that have been 'translated' and 'safely modified', and stored in special archives," or even only in the memories of certain 'keepers'.
She paused and explained further: "Because truly powerful cult items are basically equally dangerous and polluting, and they are directly directed at "heretic gods. This danger and pollution will gradually increase over time. We often cannot predict how much harm they can cause, so the safest way is to not keep any samples. And..."
"Moreover, human hearts are unpredictable, and even the strongest guardians will sometimes reveal their weaknesses." Morris saw that Vanna was hesitant, so he took the initiative to take over the conversation. "The guards who guard blasphemous objects will be bewitched and will change imperceptibly. Sometimes they don't even know that they have fallen. In 1666, a saint in the Moko city-state talked with a forbidden book he was guarding in a hallucination, causing the book to come alive, and eventually caused an accident in which dozens of people died tragically. Since then, the city-states have no longer kept any heretical objects they have confiscated.
Vanna sighed, "In some sense, heretical items are more dangerous than anomalies - because no matter how high the anomaly ranks, as long as the sealing rules are mastered, it can be controlled or even used, while heretical items... sometimes even they themselves don't know what will come out of them."
"good
Well, Duncan rubbed his forehead, "It seems that we can't expect to get samples from the city-state... We still have to find wild cultists and kill them on the spot."
Listening to the captain's words, Vanna's mouth twitched subconsciously, and then hesitated: "If you are really interested, I can find a way to borrow some information from the cathedral. Although the corresponding items have been destroyed, there are still safe research materials.
If you can, please help me find some information." Duncan nodded.
However, he felt that these materials would not be of much help to him - because what he wanted was not the information, but to find a suitable "medium" among those heretical objects.
The blasphemous book just now has proved one thing: the same extraordinary object may present a different "attitude" in his eyes and in the eyes of ordinary people. The knowledge recorded by the scholars of the Orthodox Church is mostly useless to him.
But no matter what, it never hurts to increase some knowledge in the supernatural field.
At once
At this moment, a burst of noisy noise coming from outside the captain's room suddenly interrupted the communication between Duncan and Vanna.
It sounded like Shirley and Agou were making some noisy noises on the road.
Duncan frowned: "Open the door."
Alice immediately ran over and opened the door of the captain's room, and then saw Shirley and Agou who just ran to the door. "Hey, don't make a big noise on the boat..."
"Oh, I know, I know, but there's something important!" Shirley yelled at the door, squeezing in from Alice's side with her petite body, "Captain, Captain! Agou is possessed!" It said it saw,
What a weird thing! "
"Ahgou... ... is possessed by evil spirits." Duncan looked at the Deep Hound being dragged in by Shirley with a puzzled look on his face. "How can a Deep Demon like him be possessed by evil spirits?"
Morris and Vanna beside them also had expressions that said, "What kind of evil thing is this?" However, Agou, who was dragged in, got up quickly and looked really nervous and terrified: "Really,
I saw that thing twice in a row! It suddenly popped up in my mind while I was reading, and I stared at it on the conscious level.
… ”
"While reading?" Duncan frowned upon hearing this. "What's the big deal? Isn't this often the case on the ship? When Nina is busy with her homework, she cooks several braised dishes a day..."
"It's not my fellow villagers!" Ah Gou shook his huge dog head, looking a little anxious. "It's not a shadow from the spirit world or some other evil spirit. It's something I haven't seen before. It appeared directly in my 'consciousness', like a bunch of strange lights, with a big one in the middle, emitting red light, and a bunch of small ones around it, just like the 'starry sky' between the spirit world and the abyss, with dots of light surrounding the red light source in the middle-"
Agou was just talking when Morris suddenly took two steps forward and asked, "What did you say? What did you see?!"
It was the first time that Ah Gou saw this elegant and steady old scholar react like this. He was immediately startled and subconsciously shrank his neck: "Uh... a large red light, surrounded by a bunch of flashing light spots..."
Morris listened in amazement, and confirmed the details with Agou several times before finally looking up.
The old scholar's face was "full" of astonishment and confusion, as if the worldview he had built up over half a lifetime had suddenly been hammered into a hole.
Speechless.
Vanna on the side had already reacted. The muscles on her face trembled twice, and she turned to Morris hesitantly: "It sounds... a bit like...
"The God of Wisdom, Lahem, is watching..." Morris muttered to himself, and then looked down at Agou, as if he was looking at a rare antique just unearthed from the ground, "You are being watched by the God of Wisdom?"
The captain's room suddenly became quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, Ah Gou finally raised his head in confusion: “…what did you say?”
Duncan didn't pay attention to Agou's reaction, but frowned and looked at Morris: "Are you sure?"
"Unless Agou is lying, there is no other explanation," Morris said immediately, "It describes exactly the image formed in the mind of the 'Blessed One' when the God of Wisdom descends to look at him.
I have also seen that every follower of Lahmu is familiar with this.”
Duncan fell silent.
After a long time, he finally looked towards the dark demon who was lying on the ground in a daze.
"What were you doing when you saw that scene?"
"When we do the exercises," Ah Gou said honestly, one will be geometry and the other will be algebra."
Duncan: He didn't say anything.
, but just continued to look at Agou quietly, looking at the other's ugly and huge... dog head.
