Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 142 Honest and Reliable Mr. Duncan
Facts have proved that in this world full of weird things, the art of "spiritual healing" is much more hard-core than Duncan imagined—its hard-core level has even surpassed the description of the word "skill". Going in the direction of "craft"...

Fortunately, Heidi's box was not for Nina. The psychiatrist saw the terrified expressions on the faces of the two uncles and nephews at the scene, and she said, "I have seen this kind of reaction from the person involved." smiled, and then took out a printed form from the bottom of the box and handed it to Nina: "You should fill it out first."

Nina immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought these...tools were prepared for me."

"This is what I use at work—when I work for the authorities and the church," Heidi smiled, "I often have to deal with some extremely paranoid and stubborn dangerous elements, and ordinary methods cannot pry away their heresy thoughts. Reinforced skull."

The more Duncan listened, the more he felt that there was something wrong with these words. Shirley, who was trying to reduce her presence but couldn't help eavesdropping, shrunk her neck subconsciously. She quickly hid in a place farther away, pretending to be While cleaning the dust on the shelves, he muttered to Agou who was in hiding through the spiritual connection: "It's so scary, so scary... This place is so scary... Mr. Duncan is scary enough, why is there a trial?" Officer...and that Heidi..."

Agou’s voice sounded from the bottom of her heart, more innocent than her: “I don’t know why! Who knows why I can be caught by a ghost captain when I’m active on land, and I can meet the church when I stay with a ghost captain? The inquisitor of the world is here as a guest—is this the two of us crazy or the world crazy! Can you believe this?"

While secretly paying attention to the movement next to the counter, Shirley muttered in her heart with a sad face: "Who would believe this, even if you tell a fish that it will die in a car accident one day, it won't believe it..."

"...Don't mention 'fish', I'm afraid..."

Shirley was taken aback: "Since when did Ah Gou start to be afraid of fish?"

"Don't talk to me, don't let that judge see anything - although theoretically I am now in a hidden state, but with Mr. Duncan, I always feel that all my abilities are not effective at all times... ..."

Shirley quickly collected her thoughts and walked to the other end of the shelf, but the few people at the counter obviously didn't pay attention to the humble Shirley.

Nina looked at the form in front of her, and found that it was filled with routine psychological evaluation items, which were no different from the usual psychological evaluation forms that would be filled out before taking a occult class at school or visiting a museum, that is, there were more items, There are a few more questions that are not often asked.

While she was filling in the pen, she said curiously: "I heard you say that your treatment methods are more professional, and I thought you wouldn't use this kind of form that ordinary doctors would use..."

"Filling in the form is the basic part of psychological measurement, and the difference between me and those half buckets of water is that their diagnosis is often over after filling out the form," Heidi smiled, and she took off the neck mask. An amethyst pendant, he said casually while fiddling with the pendant, "And my treatment just started when you filled out the form."

Fan Na's eyes fell on Heidi's crystal pendant unconsciously, and she was a little curious: "I've been seeing you wearing this new pendant for the past two days...you seem to like it very much?"

Heidi froze for a moment, looked down at the pendant in her hand, as if she remembered something, but then shook her head again: "It's just that my father can bring me a gift—ah, Fanna, do you know that this pendant It was my father who 'bought' it from this store."

She specially emphasized the word "buy", as if to forcibly deny the fact that this thing is just a gift, while Duncan on the side nodded slightly with a smile on his face: "It is indeed a product of our store-I hope this pendant will bring you a gift." Here comes the luck."

Fan Na couldn't help but look at the "Crystal" pendant, which was obviously a fake, and almost said a word: How could a famous scholar like Morris fall for this trick? !
However, at any rate, she also took into account Duncan, who was involved in the scene. After the sentence lingered around the bronchi, it returned to the lobe of the lung. At the same time, Nina also quickly ticked off the form. Pushing the form to Heidi, she said, "I've finished filling it out. Do you have any questions?"

"I've already read it while you were filling it out—including all your subtle expressions and small details in your movements," Heidi directly put away the piece of paper and said bluntly, "Do you have a psychological shadow that has been lurking for many years? Is there any extra pressure recently, causing you to think of this shadow from time to time? Your strange dream situation has eased in the past two days... Has the pressure disappeared, or has it shifted?"

Nina couldn't help but widen her eyes, as if she had been told something on her mind, and then she subconsciously glanced in Duncan's direction, with a hesitant expression on her face.

"We need a quiet and private environment for further mental relief and release," Heidi looked up and said to Duncan, "Of course, this requires the consent of your guardian and the cooperation of Miss Nina herself."

"Go upstairs," Duncan nodded and looked at Nina, "is that okay?"

"Okay." Nina nodded obediently, without any objection, but there was still a trace of tension in her eyes, and this tension did not hide from Heidi's eyes.

"Don't worry, Nina, it's just a simple mental relaxation technique-you're fine at all, it's just a little stress and anxiety," Heidi smiled, a trusting and reassuring aura seemed to flow in her Released in a smile, her gentle voice made the tension in Nina's heart unknowingly disappear. At the same time, she also closed her medicine box and put it aside, "I don't think we even need any equipment. , incense and medicine, I’ll just ask you a few questions.”

Only then did Nina feel relieved, she nodded to Duncan, and led Heidi up the stairs leading to the second floor.

The sound of two footsteps gradually faded away on the stairs.

Shirley was still hiding far away, concentrating on cleaning up the sundries in the corner.

Finally, only Duncan and the lady judge sitting opposite him were left at the counter.

Today is the first time Duncan saw face-to-face the judge who left the "imprint" of spiritual body fire on his body by chance. The imprint in his body, and felt that this extremely weak imprint was slowly becoming stronger and growing due to his approach.

Even without actual contact, that bit of spark was still replenished from the "source" and began to smolder in Vanna's soul.

After realizing this, Duncan consciously controlled the growth of that imprint—he didn't want this imprint to be noticed by the mysterious Storm Goddess, which would cause him to lose the special "node" of Fanna.

He was very curious about Fanna, strictly speaking, he was interested in the other party's priest status and the belief behind her.

On the other hand, Fan Na was also curiously observing this place and "Mr. Duncan" sitting opposite her.

It is true that she came here today to accompany Heidi to the door to say goodbye, but there is another reason besides that, because there were too many suspicious points in the museum fire.

Theoretically, the fire, which could never be extinguished in a short period of time, suddenly extinguished itself. Heidi saw the projection of suspected sun fragments in the fire scene, and Duncan, an ordinary person, rushed into the fire scene to rescue people and brought out the trapped people unscathed. Although she couldn't find any tangible evidence of a connection, she had a gut feeling that she should visit the antique shop.

"Mr. Duncan," Fanna broke the silence first, she looked at Duncan calmly, "I have something to know about the fire in the museum, is that okay?"

"Of course," Duncan nodded frankly, "I was on the scene at the time, so I should be able to provide some information."

"Thank you for your cooperation." Fan Na nodded lightly, "You rushed in to save people, and the fire in the museum was still burning at that time, right?"

"That's right," Duncan nodded without hesitation—because he didn't know how much on-site information the judge in front of him had, so he decided to tell the truth about some links that might leave evidence. It's huge, especially in the direction of the corridor leading to the main exhibition hall, almost all of them are burned."

"But you finally came out unscathed," Fanna asked immediately, "Can you tell me what happened after you entered the museum?"

Duncan acted as if he was thinking about it, and after pondering for two or three seconds, he said uncertainly: "I also think it's unbelievable that I can come out alive...but the fire in the museum suddenly went down at that time, can you imagine? It was not extinguished by the fire hose outside, nor was it extinguished after the combustibles were burned out, but the fire itself disappeared all of a sudden, even the smoke disappeared..."

He was amazed as he recalled, and finally stretched out his hand to gesture: "This must be blessed by the goddess, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking on his side, he heard a crash from Shirley's side—she accidentally knocked down a wooden sculpture in the corner.

"Be careful!" He immediately turned his head and shouted, like a real store manager reminding his employees, "I have already dropped the base of that thing once, and it is glued now, don't drop it again !"

"...the goddess protects everyone in the city-state," Fanna's expression changed subtly, and she looked into Duncan's eyes. "It can be seen that you are really... an honest person."

Duncan's expression was serious and calm: "That's right, those of us who do open-door business, pay attention not to deceive people."
