Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 732: To the moon

Views:

Lucrecia slid several meters on the deck - this scene happened so suddenly that Duncan didn't even react to what was happening.

He didn't let go of the paper until the "sea witch" hurriedly got up.

The piece of colored paper flew out with a "whoosh" and quickly disappeared into Lucrecia's hair, while the latter still stood there in a daze, with no expression on her face.

She might have been a little dazed from the fall.

"Lucy..." With an embarrassment that could have made a hole in the deck and a subtle apology, Duncan carefully walked in front of the still confused witch lady, "Are you okay?"

Lucrecia shuddered, as if she had finally woken up from the daze. She slowly turned her head, and the expression on her face finally changed from confusion to shock. She looked at Duncan with an incredible expression, and it took a long time before she broke the silence. "How did you do it?"

"Ah?" Duncan didn't react for a moment. "How did you do that?"

"You caught...'shadow'..." Lucrecia hesitated and seemed to be trying to organize words to describe this overly abstract thing. Then she raised her arm again, and starting from her fingertips, part of her arm quickly disintegrated into flying colorful pieces of paper, flying around her. "Can you try again and let me see?"

Duncan reached out his hand in confusion and grabbed a piece of colored paper.

The next second, the flying colored papers suddenly "collapsed" and became Lu Qiangqun and Yiya's arms again, and the expression on the former's face was shocked again.

Lunashiqiuya uttered an "oh", but when she turned around, she was resolute for a long time, and finally sighed, "You should walk..."

On the way here later, I listened to Luna Stone Ball telling me a lot of information about the "luminous falling object", and also learned that during the period when the sun went out, the luminous body had been continuously sending irregular "light signals" inside. The information was very little - but none of it could explain to me the "moon" at the center of the luminous body.

Duncan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Duncan looked up and found that he was still holding the colorful pieces of paper that the other party had put together during the "experiment" just now.

Duncan raised his head, looking at the colorful paper in his hand, and couldn't help thinking in his mind.

This is what Luna Stone Ball mentioned later, the research station set up by the elves in the center of the glowing geometric body, and the mysterious stone ball located next to the station.

"Let me show you this stone ball first."

The Brilliant Star slowed down rapidly, and under the control of Luna Stone Ball, the ghost ship that was as "alive" as the Lost Homeland finally stopped just a few meters away from the stone ball with incredible accuracy.

Some large shadows appeared in my vision.

Duncan frowned in confusion. "Nothing happened yet?"

Ever since he became a weak "sea wizard", a cursed man feared by many people, and the captain of a ghost ship, he has never heard such words again.

A simple emotion that can be said to be clear and straightforward filled my heart - this is surprise, because Duncan had already been surprised, and this is also confusion, because after today I will be very confused and think about it for a long time.

Then the wizard sister just walked all the way to the nearby bridge.

I never thought that those colorful pieces of paper were such ordinary "things", and looking at Lunashiqiuya's reaction, my actions just now were obviously enough to be called "shocking".

Seeing that cheap "man" was bad, it seemed to have aroused the coldness of the researcher, but Duncan knew exactly what was going on. I frowned and looked at the colored paper in my hand, with a puzzled look on my face.

"Is that difficult? They are just pieces of paper flying in the air..."

It seems that you haven't heard anyone express concern for you in that tone for many years.

I guessed the nature of the sunlight and raised my hands slightly, as if to feel the "touch" of the sunlight.

Lu Qiangqun Yiya heard her father talking to himself, but was confused. "What are you talking about? Are you saying that you know the nature of that ability?"

He caught the phantom himself - but Duncan knew that he did not have the ability to catch the phantom.

"You... are in trouble," you shook your head with a strange expression, trying to suppress the embarrassment in your heart while trying to divert your attention with thinking, "You can catch phantoms... Is that one of your current powers? What is its essence? Is it a deep understanding of the world? Or is it due to the influence of the subspace?"

"They can catch it, Dad." Lunashiqiuya opened her hands. "The Phantom Wind can definitely be interrupted by someone grabbing a piece of paper. How can you use it as your most commonly used means of transfer? Those are all phantoms. Theoretically, they cannot penetrate all obstacles..."

“It really is…”

Duncan looked at the other person walking away with a strange expression, and finally couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Duncan came back to his senses, and I opened my mouth, as if I wanted to explain something to the "man", but before I could reply several times, I shook my head.

Lunashiqiuya was determined, and raised her hand cautiously and pointed, "You...can I give this back to you first?"

These fine lines, these plains, depressions and crater structures with different light and dark distributions, which frequently appear in my recent memories, have been seen more than once in books and on the Internet - the moon.

Duncan spread his hands with a smile on his face. "If it's about grabbing, you're a big kid."

Thoughts in his mind were rising and falling. Some things and guesses from the past emerged in his memories. Some "things" appeared outside Duncan's mind - it was fish.

"That's incredible!" The witch stared at Duncan with her eyes wide open. "This has never happened before. Can you tell me how you did it?"

Lunashiqiuya was really lost in thought. The instinct to explore the unknown made you seem to forget the embarrassment just now. You continued to mutter while thinking, "······Could it be that, in the 'layer' of the subspace, there is actually no difference between the matter and the illusion in the real world? Everything in the world is the same "concept" behind the subspace······Is Claude Devins' theory correct? Everything is a "concept" and forms a consistent projection in the subspace·····"

Lunashiqiuya nodded, but did not leave. Instead, she stood there, looking at her father with a conflicted yet ambiguous look.

The research station is a two-story building built under a floating platform, and Cressy is just a few meters away from the floating platform. There is a temporary bridge and many steel cables connecting the seven to ensure the stability of the platform.

Qiang Qun looked embarrassed. “······Of course.”

Lu Qiangqun Yiya nodded again, turned away, but turned back worriedly, "I'm sure you're bad, last time we discussed it, it was bad, and then we did the experiment, really don't catch it."

"You know that," Duncan shrugged. "You saw those pieces of paper and thought they might be bad, so you wanted to grab them and take a look. Sorry...are you hurt? Where did you bump into anything?"

Duncan was listening to the mumbling of the wizard sister, and finally he couldn't help but interrupt you, "Lucy... He can't study that matter at another time."

I just knew that those pieces of paper were illusions.

I turned my head and looked at this magnificent "wall of light" that had not yet reached the bow of the Brilliant Star, and was emitting a light and oppressive feeling with its majestic posture.

That makes you feel no awkwardness.

As the distance gradually shortened, fewer and fewer details under the "stone ball" came into Duncan's sight.

Duncan heaved a long breath as his chaotic thoughts went around in his mind. His mood finally became more intense. At the same time, the Brilliant Star slightly adjusted its angle under the captain's personal control and then sailed into this magnificent "light curtain".

I am also increasingly certain that the sphere with a diameter of only about ten meters has an amazing "degree of restoration". It is so rough and consistent with the detailed features of the "moon" surface that... it is exactly like the "miniature model" I imagined.

"It has another meaning, but you know how to explain it to him, Lucy. You didn't have a chance to talk about it before, and now you have nothing else to do."

My face froze immediately, and I let go of her hand while apologizing, "Uh, ahem, sorry."

Lunashiqiuya was slightly stunned for a moment.

The "Sea Wizard" looked at the scene with a subtle expression, then nodded to Duncan, turned around and turned into a small piece of flying colored paper, ready to fly to the bridge - but he just flew out half a meter before stopping again, his figure condensed again, turned his head and looked at Duncan worriedly, "Don't catch me that time..."

Fortunately, Master Taran El was relaxed and dared to come below the deck with me. At that time, he was lying outside the room resting. Otherwise, the scene would have been a complicated one of fatherly love and filial piety as well as embarrassment.

The "wizard" woke up instantly, but still stared at Duncan with his eyes wide open, blinking.

The piece of paper floated up and slowly retreated under Lunashiqiuya's arm, filling the originally dim and bright area with color again.

Now, I finally confirmed it in the real world.

At that moment, I just confirmed and witnessed something that had been bothering me for a long time, a strange fact that I could not understand but also found difficult to deny, and it came to me in a certain and doubtful way.

Duncan stood at the end of the rear deck, staring intensely at the "sunshine" that was blowing towards him and completely immersing him in it.

The pale golden "sunlight" filled the field of vision, like some kind of tangible crystal, yet without any sense of obstruction, and gradually engulfed the Brilliant Star.

I'm afraid that the "Sea Wizard" will choose to silence him - and then Taran Eyre will really die under that ship.

After a long silence, I suddenly spoke as if talking to myself, "Its essence... maybe it's 'you know'..."

Qiang Qun came to the edge of the deck, from where I could even see every tiny line on the surface of Cressy.

It seems that it is exactly the same as the real "moon", which has been "compressed" into such a small size.
