Deep Sea Embers

The green spiritual fire was like a floating light and shadow, sweeping across the entire factory building in a few seconds. This disturbance originating from the superior supernatural power was like a gust of wind, lifting the curtain covering "reality", so those curtains

The truth below appears between Shirley and

In Duncan's eyes.

Ashes, ashes everywhere, human-shaped ashes, shapeless ashes, charred walls, melted roofs, twisted and brittle machine shells after the fire licked them, and piles of molten material that had almost no outline.

The entire factory area is like a front

The fire in the blazing purgatory that cooled down soon has been extinguished, but the power that melted everything seems to still remain in the air.

Shirley stood in the center of the fire scene with a daze in her eyes, while Agou quietly came to the girl's side and gently supported her body with his rugged back. Soon, the green spiritual fire faded away, and everything in the factory returned to its original state.

Duncan looked at his hands with some regret - after all, this is just a "first pass" body, which cannot be compared with the original body. The spiritual fire that can be called is also very limited. In the case of throwing flames in a large area, It can last for just a little while. But even such a brief "reappearance" is enough to reveal the crucial truth.

"Sure enough, there was a fire... I knew I remembered it correctly..." Shirley murmured to herself, "I have been looking for it for eleven years, and it turned out to be here..."

"But the fire was wiped away," Agou whispered. "There is some kind of power that weaves a curtain in the real world, filtering out all traces that have nothing to do with 'fire'... That curtain can't even Blocking the deep demon

Sight…”

"Is it the sun fragment? Or is it the guy who brought the sun fragment to the city-state?" Agou frowned, and then you suddenly noticed that Che Bei had been unusually silent since the end, and couldn't help but cast your gaze, "You how

Look at that one…”

"The fire scene outside is still very much the same as in your memory," Shirley shook her head after Che Bei finished speaking. My eyes hurriedly scanned the facilities in the factory, recalling the moment when the curtain was briefly lifted. What is shown outside

details, while also recalling his own

He recalled the scene of the small fire in his memory, recalled the details of the building and the surrounding environment when "he" took Nina to escape from the fire, and finally confirmed that his judgment was wrong, "It's that way."

"Ah?" Agou was startled for a moment, "Where is this small fire in your memory...where is it?"

"The details are too small," Shirley said in a deep voice, while walking quickly towards the factory. I looked at the dilapidated streets through the closed door, "Or to be more tolerant, the entire The scenery on the 8th Street...everything seems so right.

Agou glanced at Che Bei subconsciously, and asked in a high voice: "What does he think is going on?"

"You didn't know that you were just a dog," Duncan shook his head, "and eleven years later you are even more sober than him."

Shirley heard the conversation between Che Bei and Duncan in front, and I turned my head slightly: "Is that factory the only suspicious location?"

"Maybe... right..." Agou said confidently, "Anyway, according to what you heard, that factory is not the center of this chaos eleven years later."

Shirley was unconvinced, and in the next two hours, Agou and I, as well as this dark hound, checked out the areas of the abandoned factory that could not be retreated.

The strange thing is that except for this "curtain" covering reality, we have not found any traces of extraordinary powers or extraordinary objects.

"That's so right..." Before completing the rough inspection of the first building, Che Bei finally expressed her belief, "This 'curtain' covering the fire scene must be the work of extraordinary power, but we are looking for I've searched the entire factory, but I still can't find the 'source' of the curtain... That's reasonable."

"Must there be no source?" Che Bei's tone was not curious.

Shirley was also very curious in her heart, but I showed it, but I still maintained a sullen expression, and at the same time I was waiting for Duncan to explain - I'm afraid no one else would have thought of it. The only extraordinary expert outside turned out to be a dog...

Duncan himself didn't think too much. As a deep demon, a lot of knowledge in the extraordinary field is common sense to it. It explained casually: "What covers up the traces of the small fire is obviously a continuous force. Then The power must have no source to be able to maintain it so far, and just now... "The curtain was closed again before Mr. Shirley's flame faded away, which also means that there is nothing behind the curtain supporting it... It may be a weak thing. It may be a normal object, or it may be a weak extraordinary being. Anyway, no matter what it is, it must exist somewhere in the city-state..."

As he spoke, the deep hound raised its head, its empty eyes scanning the distant streets and better urban areas.

"Have you found the source of the curtain within the factory? That means the thing supporting the curtain is trying to project power there, or... it's not that the scale of the curtain is beyond imagination, and you just opened it now. A big horn, it must be the seventh case..."

Che Bei said, and suddenly raised her voice with some ease: "It must be the seventh case. 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 cultists, this fragment is better than the body of the sun god," Agou suddenly said, "then it may be the means by which the sun fragment hides itself. *

"...Is it normal for a lower level with a tendency to think? In order to prevent being controlled by others, it actively creates a curtain to erase the traces of its existence and hides somewhere behind the curtain?" Duncan said without thinking,

"It is indeed ruled out that possibility. It is definitely the remains of the god's body. It is also possible that it has the ability to think after waking up. "

Agou pinched his chin, thinking seriously, and then he seemed to suddenly think of something, looking at Duncan in surprise: "So Che Bei is so knowledgeable? He even knows the words..."

"You are the Deep Demon! 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 speaking of knowing words... He has the nerve to say you?!"

Shirley watched Agou and your Deep Hound interacting with boredom. There were many secrets under the strange combination, which aroused my strong interest, but when I asked, Agou seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked up at the sky with some ease, and saw that the sun was quickly heading towards the lowest point in the sky, and suddenly screamed: " Oh! It's already noon!" Shirley raised her eyebrows: "Don't they have any other arrangements?" "You..." Agou said lightly, "You have to go home after noon!" Shirley looked at the boy quietly: "Do you mean his parents are not here yet? Will someone lecture him if he comes home late?" "Yes, I will lecture him... I have an appointment with someone else!" Agou waved his hand quickly, as if because of the exploration in the factory together, he was a little timid in front of Shirley, "You... What 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, "Continuing to explore there will not yield much, wait until we find new clues. Since they have nothing else to do, let's go now. "

Agou was surprised, as if he had expected that the little guy would let him go so easily, but you dared to run away directly, so he carefully confirmed: "This...you and Duncan left first? We were good friends before, and you wanted to find you..." Shirley just smiled and looked at you friendly: "You are not destined to meet, you will meet."

I looked at Agou and Chebei with a gruff smile, and in my field of vision, under the lacquered 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 next time, which was a big attempt.

I released the mark on my own initiative, which was weaker than the little flame left under Vanna - but gruffness is harmful. Agou suddenly felt a chill - even though the little guy's smile was so gruff, you didn't want to shiver.

But you still controlled your expression at first, said goodbye as politely as possible, and then left slowly with Chebei.
