Chapter 153: Undecided
Chapter 153 Indecision...
Duncan didn't expect that he would hear these important information about the Lost Home from Agou with just a casual question - although he had heard this Deep Hound describe the Lost Home's great reputation in the Deep Sea before, who would have thought that this great reputation was "smashed" out in such a simple and crude way? !
A ghost ship that constantly vibrates between the subspace and the real dimension is like a cannonball that shuttles back and forth between the roof and the foundation. Every time it vibrates, it will smash through the "floors" of the spirit world and the Deep Sea. No grass grows wherever it passes, and all entities that come into contact with it are all sucked into the subspace... and it sounds like this situation will last for quite a while!
It's no wonder that Deep Demons like Agou would engrave the fear of the Lost Home in their bones - a natural disaster that comes to kill you every now and then suddenly stops, and a captain comes down to greet you happily. Who wouldn't have a cramp in their legs? Even if there is no muscle in the dog's calf, it has to turn!
After all, even though the ship is now stopped in the real dimension, what if... a ghost captain wants to go back to the subspace to visit relatives?
However, compared with the shocking pot that the Lost Homeland had caused, Duncan was more concerned about the ship itself and the state of the real Captain Duncan at that time.
Was that kind of "shock" intentional by the real Captain Duncan at the time? Or was it some kind of uncontrolled wandering? Did Goat Head know the situation at that time? If all this was intentional, then what was the purpose of "Captain Duncan" and Goat Head doing this? If all this was caused by loss of control...
The fun is even greater.
Will the Lost Homeland... lose control again? !
All along, the Lost Homeland has been Duncan's biggest backer and his main body. The safety of the ship is equal to his own safety. He explores the ship and controls the ship to further ensure this safety. But if the entire ship has the hidden danger of losing control, or even suddenly "smash" into the subspace again from the real dimension... then is his current control of the Lost Homeland still useful?
Can he pull back a ghost ship that is madly rushing into the subspace?
The current stable sailing of the Lost Homeland on the vast sea may only be a short-term equilibrium state. Its true normal state is actually "out of control" - this possibility spreads uncontrollably in his heart, making Duncan involuntarily irritable.
What makes him even more irritable is the door to the subspace at the bottom of the Lost Homeland, and the nervous reaction of the goat head after learning that the door has opened a gap, which seems to faintly confirm his worries-
The Lost Homeland is not stable, and the subspace has never stopped calling the ship.
Duncan took a breath quietly and calmly, forcing himself to calm down.
No matter how much he thought, he didn't have enough ability to intervene in matters related to the warp - he still knew too little about the mysterious field.
If you want to accumulate knowledge related to the warp, dealing with more extraordinary events is a way, especially the church in front of you, this... church that may have been invaded by the warp.
"Let's pay more attention to this place," Duncan shook his head, "If something from the warp really invaded the underground temple, then what happened eleven years ago is more complicated than everyone imagined..."
He raised his head and looked at the door that was once closed.
"The nun here held the door before she died in battle, probably to prevent the things in the temple from running out, but can a door really stop the invaders from the warp?"
"The invasion of the warp also depends on the situation," Agou said thoughtfully, "In most cases, the real world is protected by the gods... Well, although I don't like them very much, the real world is indeed effectively protected by the gods. It is difficult for the warp to directly affect the real world. Those who can run here are generally not the real body, at most some projections, pollution, or even just illusions projected by the human heart..."
Agou suddenly stopped talking and looked at Duncan nervously.
In his eyes, the light and shadow vortex in this human body is running chaotically, and crazy light and shadow that are enough to make demons lose their minds constantly emerge from it.
This ghost captain who returned from the warp... Damn, he himself is the biggest warp invasion in this place!
"Keep talking, then? What happened to the warp invasion?"
The "warp invasion itself" in Agou's eyes lowered his head and asked curiously about the warp invasion.
"I... I mean, the subspace invasion can be blocked by the sacred facilities in the church under normal circumstances... and since the invaders are not the real body, as long as the invasion channel is cut off, the part left in the real world will quickly dissipate..." Agou swallowed his saliva and explained the subspace invasion to the subspace invasion with difficulty, "Of course, how heavy a price will be paid in this process is another matter..."
"So that's what happened," Duncan nodded in understanding, and when he looked at the nun lying on the ground, his eyes were more admiring than before, "She must have tried her best to stop the disaster back then."
"But she shouldn't have succeeded, right?" Shirley's voice suddenly came from the side. Since the things Duncan and Agou discussed were either too high-end or too scary, she hadn't found a chance to interrupt since just now, "The fire eleven years ago still happened..."
"The fire eleven years ago was caused by solar debris, and we found traces of suspected subspace in this church. It's unclear how the two things are related," Duncan shook his head, and then he As if he suddenly thought of something, with a thoughtful expression, he slowly came to the statue of the goddess in the center of the underground church, "But... I am suddenly curious about something."
He raised his head and looked at the statue of the goddess that was slightly different from the statue of Gemona in the church on the surface - this statue stood in the darkness with no trace of damage on the surface.
"What are you curious about?" Shirley followed over, took a cautious look at the statue, and asked in a low voice.
"This storm goddess, what is she doing?" Duncan raised his hand and pointed at the icon, "The church was invaded, the priest died in the battle, and there was only a phantom left outside that kept praying like a remnant soul. Why didn't the god here respond at all? At the very least... we should give a warning to the believers in other churches and ask them to come and support us, right?"
"I don't know much about things related to the gods, but this matter is indeed a bit suspicious," Agou muttered after hearing this. "Although the connection between the gods and the mortal world is not close, they have a deep understanding of their respective affairs." Sanctuaries are indeed of great concern. These buildings where believers gather are like 'anchors' between the gods and the world. Now one of the anchors has been unplugged silently. Eleven years have passed... …Nothing happened, something was wrong.”
Duncan thought for a while and suddenly raised his right hand. On his fingertips, a small flame appeared out of thin air, and a faint green light illuminated the surroundings of the icon.
The chain clattered, and Agou immediately took two steps back: "You...what do you want to do?"
"If you are in trouble, light a small fire," Duncan said with a smile. "Maybe he will burn something hidden and 'reveal' it."
Agou was immediately startled, and wanted to remind the other party that this was an underground temple, and it might directly attract Gemona's attention, but he held back his words before he could say anything - this place has been messed up like this. , regardless of how saintly it is, the big boss in front of me now has to do some of his own work of "subspace invasion", so what are you talking nonsense on the side!
However, it calmly took a few steps back, dragging Shirley a little further away.
If something like God's Punishment really comes down later, the boss might not be afraid, but it and Shirley can't handle it.
Duncan noticed Agou's behavior, but he didn't care.
Of course he didn't want to attract the attention of the Storm Goddess to him, but in the main hall of the church just now, he had already confirmed that this "sanctuary" had been completely eroded, and even the icon was filled with the power of subspace. , and then considering that the abnormality here has been hidden for eleven years without being discovered, the connection between the god and this place has obviously been severed long ago.
Nowadays, this once sacred place has long lost its sanctity, leaving only a shadow.
The spiritual fire burned silently and fell to the ground like water droplets. The hazy and illusory flames quickly rippled in the underground temple and filled the entire room in the blink of an eye.
Then, the flames that spread to the end gradually extinguished silently.
Shirley and Agou looked at each other. After a long while, Shirley cautiously said, "What... did you find?"
Duncan looked at the little flame still jumping on his finger with some surprise, and then looked at the empty underground temple where nothing happened.
Is there really nothing here? Or... the power of the flames is not enough to move the "curtain" that covers this place?
He frowned, and at this moment, a very slight, almost hallucinatory murmur suddenly reached his ears——
"Who's there?"
Duncan was startled and suddenly looked up in the direction of the sound.
The icon of Gemona stood quietly in the darkness.
