Deep Sea Embers.

Chapter 729 Navigation

Duncan was very confident in his memory - he happened to remember the appearance of the stone that Ah Gou had just thrown, and now, he was also very sure that the stone in Alice's hand was the one that Ah Gou had just thrown.

Agou himself quickly realized what had happened. He looked at the stone in the puppet's hand in shock: "...What a coincidence? Did it fall out of your hand!?"

"No," Alice immediately shook her head, looking matter-of-factly, "I picked it up."

"You... picked it up?" Shirley suddenly had a ghostly expression on her face, staring straight at the doll, "How did you pick it up? According to what Agou just said, shouldn't this thing be left in Yousui?" Some random place in the deep ocean?”

Alice suddenly started thinking, as if she was thinking about how to explain this process to Shirley that she couldn't even understand. Then she gestured and said, "Just now, we were talking about where the things that fall from here might land. At that time, I was curious about where the stone was, and then I found it, and then I picked it up... just like that..."

As Alice spoke, she casually made an action of picking something out of the air, as if it was a natural thing to do - but her explanation was confused not only by Shirley, but also by the dog.

However, Duncan standing next to him suddenly frowned and thought of something in an instant——

While crossing the stagnant starry sky, Alice behaved abnormally... LH-03, navigation host!

His expression changed slightly, and he immediately bent down and picked up another stone from the side. After letting Alice see it, he threw it forcefully into the darkness outside the floating island.

As in the previous situation, the stone disappeared from everyone's sight instantly after flying a few meters outside the range of the floating island.

Duncan looked back at Alice's eyes: "Do you know where it went? Can you pick it up?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Alice raised her hand and handed over a small black stone, with a happy expression on her face: "Here you go, stone!"

Despite his suspicions, Duncan couldn't help but be stunned for a few seconds when he saw the doll taking out the stone so easily and casually - no one saw how Alice "picked it up" He didn't even see him when he came back!

It is as if this process has been skipped directly - "addressing", "path" and "arrival" are all compressed in an unobservable time gap, and only "results" are output.

Shirley on the side finally couldn't hold back her tone of voice: "...fuck, it's so outrageous..."

Agou seemed to see something from the change in the expression on the captain's face. He turned his head in confusion: "Do you know how she did it?"

Duncan's expression was slightly solemn. After a brief hesitation, he nodded slightly: "...Alice's other identity may be called 'LH-03'."

Agou was stunned, and this time he and Shirley said in unison: "...fuck, that's so outrageous..."

"...This matter can be discussed later. Maybe we can get more answers after meeting the Holy Lord Netherworld," Duncan waved his hand and did not continue on this topic, but focused on Alice. "Is there a way you can get us to the 'bottom'?"

Alice tilted her head, and then while holding her head, she carefully came to the edge of the broken earth. She looked at the boundless darkness below and the little "starlight" that flickered slightly in the darkness. She seemed to be thinking hard. and observing something.

After a long time, she took two steps back and pointed to the vast darkness outside the floating island: "Here, there are countless lines and 'paths', some of which are connected to 'below', I think I can go down along them …But I don’t know how to take you down.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Duncan next to her took a step forward: "Let me take a look."

As he spoke, Duncan put his hand on Alice's shoulder. At the same time, a phantom-like green fire appeared in Alice's eyes——

A huge, complex, almost daunting structure emerged in Duncan's field of vision.

He saw the world as the doll saw it - at least part of it.

He saw endless thin lines like hair growing from the bottom of the deep sea, connecting to the stagnant ancient starry sky above. He saw countless lines intersecting among the stars, and some merged into the bottom. , some seemed to disappear out of thin air into the depths of the starry sky. He also saw that the darkness outside the floating island was dotted with vague... "tubular structures". They were interlaced, broken, and constantly changing, like something out of control. The "path" is dizzying just by looking at it, and you can't discern any patterns at all, let alone see the whole picture.

Duncan frowned. He did see the huge structure of lines and paths, but he only "saw" it - he couldn't see any patterns in it, and it was impossible to find any of the paths in a short time. The starting point and the end point, this mess in the deep sea seemed to him like some kind of "encrypted data block", like garbled code.

However, through the connection established by the flame, he could vaguely feel Alice's state at the moment - she did not feel any confusion in the huge information in her field of vision.

Everything is orderly in her eyes. The chaotic paths in the starry sky and the network of lines in the darkness can drive scholars around the world crazy, but to her... it seems that at any moment, she can calculate the beginning of any path. and end.

Even at this moment, she was constantly calculating - the huge calculation activity that even she could not detect was running loudly at the bottom of her mind all the time.

Duncan blinked. Against the background of countless lines that filled the deep sea, he vaguely saw Alice suddenly turning her head. She smiled faintly and did not speak, but her voice came directly into his ears——

"Welcome to the New Hope navigation database. It stores billions of gravitational characteristics and calibration parameters among stars, and can deduce the relative position changes of any celestial body in deep space in real time to calibrate the star map... We will travel through &￥Transcend the stars and arrive at the new home at the end of the &￥light speed ()*&* ()%... We will survive%# and rebuild the *&old)* world...~*&”

The gentle female voice, like some kind of system broadcast, was gradually filled with noise. The delayed and out-of-tune vocal lines gradually became blurred, and stopped abruptly at an unnoticeable moment.

Alice was still observing the dark space beyond the floating island seriously. She obviously did not look back or speak. Duncan raised his hand and dispersed the flames connecting with Alice.

The dizzying lines and tube-like paths in the field of vision disappeared in an instant.

Alice turned her head and smiled happily: "Captain, have you seen it? Am I right?"

"I saw it, but I'm afraid only you can complete the next 'navigation'," Duncan took a breath and looked at the puppet seriously, "take us down."

Alice was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "But I don't know how to bring people..."

"It doesn't matter, I know, we will follow you - you just need to trust your own judgment and move forward without hesitation. Can you do it?"

Seeing the captain's extremely serious expression, Alice couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but she finally nodded and her expression became serious: "Yes, I can!"

Duncan nodded slightly, then stepped back half a step and opened his hands.

A green flame soared into the sky, spiraled up, and gradually spread around him with him as the center, and then spread in the direction of Shirley, Agou and Alice.

He recalled the experience of "merging" with Ai, and then reminded him softly in his heart: "Shirley, relax, don't be afraid."

"I...I'm not afraid!" Shirley's voice came from the side immediately, "It's Agou who is afraid!"

All the bones in Agou's body were as if they were on vibrating mode. He was shaking and speaking harshly: "Don't, don't, don't talk nonsense. I, I, I am relaxing. The captain, he, he...he knows it!"

Duncan smiled and shook his head. Amidst the rising flames, he looked at the puppet in front of him: "Alice, let's go."

Alice nodded, then turned around without hesitation and walked towards the boundless void beyond the floating island——

A blazing green flame disappeared into the darkness.

At the same time, deep in the Holy Land Island in the real dimension, Lucretia and Maurice, who were guarding the black door vigilantly, heard a strange, low roar at the same time.

The sound seemed to come from the depths of the gate, penetrating through the "door" that undulated slowly like mercury and was as dark as mud, echoing in the cave layer upon layer.

In the moment of trance, Morris felt as if he heard a series of vague words, and he could only distinguish a few words: "LH-03... reconnect..."

"Did you hear anyone talking?" The old scholar suddenly woke up from his trance and turned to look at the "Sea Witch" aside.

"No," Lucretia said immediately, while staring closely at the dark door that was constantly crawling on the surface, "but I feel... as if something is coming out of here."

Almost at the same moment, Morris also felt those auras full of malice and madness. Some chaotic and frantic existence seemed to have finally discovered the crack leading to the real dimension and began to move closer.

Morris had to temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart, and then he saw an entity appear in the creeping darkness - a twisted and grotesque deep demon struggled to squeeze out of the door and stepped in. Dimension of reality.

Lucretia instantly raised the "baton" in her hand and turned it into a black sickle that shone with cold light, while Morris was suddenly stunned when he saw the demon's form.

The first time he saw the demon invading the real dimension would look like this.

After a moment of astonishment, he and Lucretia looked at each other.

"...Why does this death bird only have one leg?"

"I don't know...kill him first and then talk about it."

"Too."
