Chapter 115 The Erased Traces

In front of the dilapidated and abandoned factory, the deep hound "Agou" "stared" at the collapsed factory building with empty eye sockets, as if trying to observe the ruins in the real world from another dimension.

Shirley stood beside Agou, looking around nervously. After confirming Duncan's expression, she whispered, "Agou, is there really no 'residual pollution' here?"

"If you are referring to the 'chemical leakage' in the general population, then don't worry, the pollution here may have dissipated a few years ago..." There was a hoarse and deep voice from Agou's throat, " But if it's the 'pollution' of certain transcendent domains, it's not certain."

"Did you find anything?" Duncan asked beside him.

"...No, really not," Agou lowered his head slightly, "I just saw a moment...'fire', but now there is nothing, it might just be some kind of 'reverberation', is this The memory left by the ruins and frozen... Many extraordinary powers will leave similar traces in the real world, but to find out what kind of extraordinary power it is... I'm afraid we have to go in and take a look."

"Then go in," Duncan nodded, and walked towards a gap in the abandoned factory, "you follow too."

Shirley hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward to follow. Agou shook his head left and right, and the black chain made a rattling sound. The dark hound looked at Duncan walking in front curiously and carefully: "You... ...Why are you also interested in what happened eleven years ago? Ah, of course I just asked casually, a little curiosity, of course a big man like you has his own way of doing things..."

"Just take it as my interest," Duncan interrupted the deep hound, "don't be so nervous in front of me, it makes me feel uncomfortable."

"Hey, okay, we're not nervous, we're not nervous..."

Hearing the obviously nervous answer from the other party, Duncan just shook his head helplessly, and then looked at Shirley next to him with some curiosity: "You have a big fire in your memory, but except you, everyone is not Remember the existence of this fire, isn't it?"

"...Well," Shirley nodded, she had already realized something at this time, "Look at your attitude... You also know about that fire, right? That fire really existed, didn't it?"

"...Yes, I know, so now I am even more curious, who erased the traces of this fire." Duncan nodded slightly, and said lightly.

At the same time, his mind was also full of thoughts—he never thought that things would develop so coincidentally, and he never thought that there would be a third person in the Puland city-state who knew about the "fire" besides himself and Nina. ", the encounter between myself and Shirley, the joint investigation between the two parties, the fire that has been erased, Agou's hallucination just now... these things seem to be pulled together by invisible forces, just like planets revolving around the sun .

This feeling of everything being pulled together by an invisible force has already made him vigilant.

Nina’s textbook briefly described some “common sense” in the transcendental field, and mentioned that powerful anomalies or visions often have the power to interfere with the development of reality, and can even lead certain events to happen like weaving a script, which is too dense The coincidences or clues that appear continuously are often "omens" worthy of vigilance, which often means that the people involved have been affected by an abnormality or vision, and are unconsciously participating in or even promoting the incident.

But in the face of this invisible and harmless promotion and influence, his "spiritual body fire" is useless instead.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly glanced at Shirley.

The girl and "Agou" are carefully guarding against the movement in the ruins of the factory. She seems to have no extraneous and complicated thoughts at all. Maybe it's because her own "big terror" is so close that she has no extra thoughts to think about?

"...This looks like an ordinary ruin..." A Gou's low voice came, interrupting Duncan's thinking, "I don't feel any breath of extraordinary power."

Shirley raised her head, looking at the criss-crossing pipes and the distorted ceiling beams above.

This is the first "factory building" after entering the factory. It has been severely damaged in an accident eleven years ago. Some kind of powerful explosion penetrated its roof, causing high-altitude pipelines to rupture, building materials to collapse, and sunlight Spilled into the ruins through the big hole above, the scene inside is like the skeleton of a giant beast after death.

However, apart from these explosions and collapses, there was no trace of "fire" in the factory building.

"It doesn't look like there was a fire..." Shirley muttered thoughtfully.

"There are no traces of fire, that's the biggest problem," Duncan's deep voice suddenly came from the side, he was also looking up at the broken pipes and roof structures, and frowned slightly, "This level of damage The accident, and it was obvious that there was an explosion, there must be an accompanying fire, regardless of the scale, it should at least leave some traces of burning in the factory building... But here there is not even a trace of a cluster of flames. "

After Duncan finished speaking, Ah Gou said in a deep voice, "Yes, it looks like... all the elements related to 'fire' have been deliberately erased, but because the erasure was too clean, it left A more eye-catching blank space was created."

"Was it erased..." Duncan muttered softly, and slowly walked deeper into the factory building. He stopped when he walked past a pile of abandoned and twisted machines, and casually looked at a hole in the wall not far away. glance.

He stopped suddenly, his eyes widened slightly.

fire! The monstrous fire!

He saw a raging sea of ​​flames rising from the opposite side of the hole, and he saw the entire wasteland outside the factory rolling with flames. The flames, like a raging ocean, soared into the sky and fell to the ground, rushing to the nearby streets. , houses, thick smoke billowing up, and countless frenzied crowds running in the sea of ​​flames, like a mirage from hell!

This terrifying and fiery scene suddenly broke into Duncan's field of vision, but the next second, when he turned his head to call Shirley over, the blazing sea of ​​flames suddenly dissipated.

Duncan blinked vigorously, came to the hole and looked out, all he saw was a piece of wasteland and a few dilapidated houses that were no longer inhabited at the edge of the wasteland.

Agou noticed Duncan's unusual behavior and immediately asked, "What did you find?"

"I saw it just now, Huo," Duncan replied in a deep voice, "but it's gone in the blink of an eye."

"Then it seems that the 'reverberation' left here is very strong," Agou immediately analyzed, "It reappears twice in a short period of time, which is not the trace that ordinary extraordinary power can leave. The 'Sun Fragments' we were looking for did appear here... I just don't know what the law of triggering the 'Reverberation' is..."

Duncan didn't say anything, he just slowly returned to the position where he saw the "reverberation" at first, and looked thoughtfully at the place where he had just stood.

There seems to be nothing here.

After thinking for a moment, Duncan suddenly raised his hand and rubbed his fingertips lightly.

A cluster of small green flames jumped out of his hands silently.

The moment he saw the dark green flames, Ah Gou shrank his neck suddenly, and then took three or four steps back, and with the sound of the black chains rattling, Shirley also stepped back halfway. Step by step, he looked at Duncan with horror on his face: "You...you really plan to eat cooked ones?!"

"What are you afraid of?" Duncan glanced at the pair expressionlessly, "This is not for roasting you."

After the words fell, he pointed his fingertips far away to the ground.

The small green flame seemed to be a stream of water, falling silently to the ground, and the next second, the translucent spirit fire rippled and spread on the surface, and instantly swept across a range of several meters under Duncan's feet!

Shirley looked at this scene in amazement, and suddenly opened her eyes wide: "...Ah!?"

Where the flames swept across, something suddenly appeared on the ground that was originally empty.

It was a piece of ashes, a piece of ashes curled up with a vaguely human figure!

It was a human being who had been burned to ashes. Before dying, he was looking at the direction Duncan had just looked at.

Suddenly, Shirley thought of something. She raised her head and looked around the empty factory.

And under Duncan's conscious control, the green spirit fire swept across the entire factory building like a breeze.

As a result, the traces that had been erased finally reappeared briefly in the eyes of the visitor.
