Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 137 An Ordinary Morning in the Antique Store
A ray of morning light illuminates the city-state of Purand, which has been sleeping all night. The sun locked by the double rune circle slowly rises in the sky like a burning giant wheel. Under the powerful power of vision 001, those things that do not belong to the world in the night finally start to fade.

The shadows in the streets, the whispers in no one's place, the whispers in the waves along the coast, the sight of nothingness in the depths of the alleys, and the entangled dreams.

Shirley opened her eyes.

She saw the unfamiliar ceiling, and saw the sunlight through the side window, shining on the low cabinet at the head of the bed and the nearby desk. This clean and tidy hut is very simple, but it is still much better than the place where she lives. .

She smelled the aroma of food and heard some noise from the direction of the kitchen. She saw Nina sleeping on her back on the bed. Today is a rest day, and this girl can sleep late because she has an "uncle" You can rely on, there is a ready-made breakfast after waking up.

Shirley sat up in a daze, and it took a few seconds to fully recall why she was here and what she had experienced in her sleep.

Then she pushed Nina next to her: "Nina, wake up...it's time to wash up and have breakfast."

Nina responded in a daze: "I'm so sleepy... I'll sleep for a while..."

Shirley was stunned for a moment, she didn't know what to do next.

Because she has been away from this kind of life for too long, so long that there is a gap of 11 years-but she still vaguely remembers that she used to be like this, and she can be like this.

She slowly climbed out of bed, changed into her clothes, and while listening to the various movements coming from outside, she reminded herself that this was not a peaceful and peaceful nest - it was actually just a lair , it was a subspace shadow and his dependents who dressed up the lair like this out of interest...

But this lair feels more "home" than the place where she and Agou live.

Shirley was a little distracted, but at this moment, Nina's voice suddenly interrupted her wild thoughts: "Wow! Is it already this time?!"

Xue Li turned her head and saw Nina with disheveled hair sitting on the bed with her eyes wide open. The latter looked up at the window, and then noticed Xue Li standing beside her, shaking her head: "Xue Li? Why are you...ah yes, you slept at my house yesterday..."

Immediately afterwards, she jumped off the bed, bluffing: "Oh, stop talking, I have to make breakfast..."

In the middle of her bluffing, she heard the movement of the kitchen, smelled the aroma of food, and after a moment of stunned, she seemed to wake up from the future: "Oh, uncle is making breakfast today... yes, uncle has recovered recently... ah, no !School! Late for school!"

Before she finished speaking, Nina rushed to her desk to pack her things, but she suddenly reacted after taking two steps, and looked up at the calendar on the bedside table: "Oh no, today seems to be a rest day... "

Then she turned around in a circle, and stuck her head on the pillow again: "Then I will sleep for another 2 minutes..."

Shirley watched from the side with a covered face all the time, watching Nina's series of dazzling operations after jumping up from the bed, and finally returned to the original point as if nothing had happened, and she couldn't find anything to interrupt It wasn't until Nina threw herself on the bed again that she leaned over hesitantly, but before she could speak, she saw Nina "Teng" bounce up again, and the latter stretched vigorously: " Ah, I woke up."

Shirley: "...?"

"What's wrong with you, Shirley?" Nina turned her head and looked at Shirley energetically, "Why do you have this expression?"

Shirley: "You...do you wake up like this every morning?"

Nina's face was covered in circles: "Ah? How?"

"That's it..." Shirley gestured, as if she didn't know how to explain to the other party, "You jump up first, then this, then this, then this..."

"Oh, I tend to get confused when I wake up in the morning," Nina actually saw the correct information from Shirley's miraculous and abstract body language, she nodded and said while going to change clothes, "But I'm fully awake now Come here! Oh, by the way, Shirley, did you sleep well last night? I didn't sleep well, did it affect you?"

"I..." Shirley was about to speak when a series of memories suddenly flooded up. She recalled the closed cabin, that morning, the sound of leaving footsteps, the locked door, and the broken door. And entered the deep hound... But after that, it was an incredible adventure, a bold exploration.

It's a little spooky, a little scary, but... quite powerful.

"I slept well," she smiled. "Actually, I'm not honest when I sleep. Agou always says that sooner or later I'll fall asleep and tear my bed apart."

"Uncle said that to me before." After changing her clothes, Nina finally yawned, stepped forward and took Shirley's hand and walked towards the door, "Let's go, let's eat first, I'm a bit hungry."

Shirley was dragged out of the door in such a daze, and then saw Duncan coming out of the kitchen. The latter was wiping his hands on the apron, apparently just finished cooking.

"Mr. Duncan..." Shirley was subconsciously a little nervous again. Although she had seen it with her own eyes, she always felt that this kind of existence was cooking in the kitchen just now. So he forcibly suppressed this disobedient emotion, and honestly bowed his head to say hello, "Good morning."

Just like the boss ordered, treat this place as an ordinary place, and then be a guest here like a normal person.

Although she herself didn't know what it was like to be a guest at someone's house, it was always right to say hello in the morning.

"What's for breakfast?" Nina had already walked towards the kitchen, poking her head to look behind Duncan as she walked, "It smells so good!"

"I fried some sausages, I bought them when I came back yesterday," Duncan said casually, and then pressed Nina's head, and forcibly turned her towards the bathroom, "Wash your hands first!"

Immediately afterwards, he glanced at Shirley again, and put his waist down: "You too, don't stand there stupidly, wash your hands together, and wash your face by the way!"

Shirley was taken aback, and hurriedly followed Nina to wash her hands and face, and then she was the first to return to Duncan after washing, and opened her hands: "...washed clean."

After she finished speaking, she became embarrassed, and suddenly felt a little silly: As a person who is almost an adult, after washing her hands in the morning, she actually showed it to adults like this, not so much as a 17-year-old child, but more like a seven-year-old child—— She didn't even know why she had a sudden brain twitch.

But Duncan didn't care about this, he just nodded, turned and walked towards the kitchen while asking casually: "How did you sleep?"

Shirley lowered her head: "Well, it's okay...better than before."

"Did the injury in the dream affect reality?" Duncan asked again.

Xue Li was taken aback, and then suddenly remembered that in the dream, she seemed to have been "whiped" by that weird attacker. She quickly raised her left arm, only to see a faint scar!

Due to the strong self-healing ability, the scar has almost healed at this time, and I don't even feel anything, but there is no doubt that when I was injured in the dream last night, my body in reality also suffered the same injury!
And she was trapped in a dream at that time, so even if her body was injured in the real world, she couldn't wake up.

Duncan saw the mark on Shirley's arm, his eyes froze for a moment, and then he nodded slightly.

Unreasonable phenomenon, but not beyond expectations.

That weird dream... It couldn't have been just a simple dream.

"It seems that being injured in that dream will also affect reality at the same time," he said to Shirley seriously, "If you don't have my company in the future, don't explore that dream on your own. Your fighting power is very strong, but it will split you against that For monsters, it doesn't work well."

Shirley nodded quickly: "Well, I know."

Duncan thought for a while and added: "Also, if you are trapped in that nightmare again, you can call me directly."

Shirley was stunned for a moment, as if a little unresponsive: "Calling you?"

"Call me by my name, the full name I told you in the dream," Duncan said lightly, "or, call the Lost Land—it's best to call it next to a medium with mirror properties such as glass or mirror, That way I can hear better."

Shirley listened, and suddenly realized something. At the same time, through the spiritual connection with Agou, she also heard a burst of nervousness from Agou.

"Do you... want me to be your family member?" She raised her eyelids and asked nervously and tangled.

"I don't know what a follower is, and I don't ask you to donate anything. It's just that you are Nina's friend, and now you are acting with me—just take care of me."

Shirley took a breath, but didn't dare to answer rashly, and at this moment, Nina's cheerful voice suddenly sounded from the kitchen door: "What are you talking about?"

"Don't answer me now," Duncan whispered to Shirley, then looked up at Nina, "Why did you take so long to wash your hands?"

"The eyeballs in the corners of my eyes can't be washed clean," Nina rubbed her eyes, "it hurts a bit..."

"Drink more water these two days." Duncan looked at the girl helplessly, and then asked as if inadvertently, "By the way, did you have that dream again last night? It was the one standing on a high place overlooking the fire scene." Dream."

"No." Nina thought for a while and shook her head. "Last night, I dreamed that I pressed a horse on my stomach, and then a cow, but it sank...Uncle, why did you suddenly ask this?"

"It's nothing, I just remembered that the psychiatrist will come to visit today." Duncan shook his head, putting away his thoughts for a while, "Let's eat."
