Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 145 Fanna's Vigilance

"I'm very sorry, I'm very sorry, I don't know what happened..."

Heidi apologized with embarrassment on her face. As a senior psychiatrist and a professional who can complete all her studies under the strict standards of the Academy of Truth, her embarrassment at the moment is simply indescribable—to be honest, when The moment Fan Na patted herself awake helplessly, she almost felt that her professional life had come to an end...

However, Nina, who was just waking up on the bed at this time, also had a dazed expression on her face. She didn't know what happened, she just looked at Heidi in a daze and apologized to herself, and finally turned her gaze to Duncan next to her: "Uncle Duncan, What happened? Why did Miss Hattie..."

"The psychiatrist who hypnotized you slept more solidly than you just now." Duncan also looked helpless, sighed and pointed to the bedside, "Drool is all on the floor."

What he said was straightforward, and the moment the words fell, Heidi couldn't even lift her head up.

In this awkward and chaotic atmosphere, only Fan Na maintained a serious face. She looked around the whole room for the first time, as if she was looking for and sensing something, and finally set her eyes on Heidi: "Are you really okay? Why did you fall asleep first during hypnotherapy?"

Hearing her friend's serious tone, Heidi gradually came to her senses. She immediately frowned and recalled carefully, and then shook her head slightly after a while: "...I have no problem, it should be because I was too tired recently, and I was too relaxed after the treatment just now caused."

"The treatment is complete, isn't it?" Fan Na seemed to be still a little worried, and asked again.

"It's done," Heidi nodded after thinking seriously again, "I asked Miss Nina some questions, and she fell asleep after she answered."

Duncan noticed Fan Na's extraordinarily serious expression, and couldn't help asking, "Is there something wrong?"

"...No, I'm just a little worried about Heidi's condition, she's never been in such a situation before," Fan Na shook her head, "but it's probably like she said, she's too tired——she's been in this situation for a while. Work, and the hard-won rest day was also destroyed by the fire in the museum."

When Nina heard this, she subconsciously apologized to Heidi: "I'm sorry, it seems that I took up your hard-earned rest time..."

"No, no, you don't need to apologize," Heidi quickly waved her hand, "And thinking about it from another angle, I actually had a good night's sleep here—I haven't slept so well for a long time."

Fan Na confirmed that there was nothing unusual about Heidi, and then she looked up at the sky outside the window, got up and turned to Duncan: "It's getting late, it looks like we should say goodbye and leave."

"Don't you need to take a break?" Duncan expressed concern as the owner of this place, "Miss Heidi still looks a little tired."

"I'm much better," Heidi said with a smile. "It's not safe to stay out at night. I have to be home before the sun goes down—my father is very worried about this."

Hearing this reason, Duncan didn't say anything more. He helped Nina out of bed, and looked at the two guests today: "Then I'll take you downstairs."

He sent Heidi and Fanna to the gate on the first floor, while the sun was already sinking towards the distant horizon.

Fanna went to start the steam core of the car. The incredible steam machinery in this world seems to be able to start quickly without preheating the boiler. Duncan saw that the dark gray car soon made the light sound of the machine running, and Heidi Before walking out of the store, she suddenly turned her head, glanced at Nina next to her, and finally her eyes fell on Duncan.

"It can be seen that you are a very competent guardian now, but you seemed to have neglected to take care of Nina some time ago - her mental tension and anxiety were caused by this," Miss Psychiatrist said sincerely and directly Said, "Of course, her condition has been greatly relieved now, and after this counseling, the situation will be better, but even the best treatment needs to be consolidated, and the best psychological healing comes from the care of relatives."

Nina's nervousness and anxiety?And some time ago... before he occupied this body?
Duncan understood in his heart, he nodded to Heidi, and sincerely thanked: "Thank you for your help, I was really in a bad state a while ago, it was my negligence."

"Actually, I should talk to you carefully. Communication with family members after the treatment process is also very important, but today's time is really not allowed." Heidi breathed a sigh of relief and took half a step back. I will sort out Nina's situation again, and I will send you some follow-up suggestions in a letter."

The two special guests finally took their leave.

Watching the car that looked very eye-catching in the downtown area gradually drifting away on the street under the setting sun, Duncan breathed a little. The first face-to-face communication with the "judge" of the church was more peaceful and smooth than he had imagined.

And after Fan Na left, Shirley finally got out from the corner of the first floor. The girl looked in the direction of the door nervously, and only dared to come up after seeing Duncan and Nina coming back: "They really gone?"

"Let's go, don't worry." Duncan glanced at Shirley with a helpless tone, "You're hiding a little too clearly, and this will easily arouse suspicion, don't you know? Fortunately, the judge didn't think too much. "

"I'm afraid! That's the judge! The highest military power of the church within the city-state!" Shirley suddenly widened her eyes, explaining as if she was afraid that Duncan would not understand her worries, "The highest-level clergy I usually come into contact with is The pastor of the community church and the guards on patrol, so I have to hide and go - there is a dog next to me, you don't know..."

Speaking of which, she paused, and then sighed: "Oh, of course, it's normal for you not to understand me. In the eyes of a being like you, the judge of a city-state is probably not much different from the pastor of a community church. ..."

Nina looked at Shirley, then turned her head to look at the direction where Van Na and Heidi left, she frowned: "Shirley, you...'wild transcendent' will really be arrested by the church Is it? You obviously didn't do anything bad, and the two ladies, Heidi and Fanna, are also very good people..."

"It doesn't matter whether I do bad things or not," Shirley sighed, "The church will not arrest all wild superhumans, because there are always some people in this world who have come into contact with supernatural powers for weird reasons. , They are not all heretics, and the church also tacitly allows some free transcendental people to live an honest life-but they will definitely arrest me and Agou, because in their judgment criteria, as long as they are with the deep demon or subspace Those who have a relationship, no matter what the current state is, will be potential heretics in the future."

Nina frowned. This was an area she had never touched before. Shirley's words caused her to fall into a momentary state of entanglement, but soon, her entanglement was broken by Duncan: "Nina, how are you doing now? ?”

"Me? I'm fine," Nina said immediately. "I think Miss Heidi's 'treatment' is quite effective. I chatted with her for a while, and then took a nap. I feel much more relaxed!"

"Really? That's fine."

Duncan nodded lightly, and without saying anything else, he walked towards the stairs. It wasn't until this time that Shirley at the side seemed to react suddenly. She glanced at the sky outside, and couldn't help but let out a mournful cry: " Ah, I still want to go home today..."

"Just think about it," Duncan said without turning his head, "Look at the sky outside, do you really plan to fight wits and courage with the church guards at night?"

Nina also laughed, and she stepped forward and patted Xue Li on the shoulder: "You can stay here with peace of mind, and you can chat with me just before going to bed at night - let's talk about going home tomorrow!"

……

On the way back to the upper city, Fan Na was holding the steering wheel, and Heidi was yawning in the passenger seat beside her.

"Yawn...I slept really well this time..." Heidi yawned again, and asked casually, "How, what have you been talking to that antique store manager about? Did you notice anything wrong?"

"...Nothing abnormal," Fan Na replied while paying attention to the road ahead, "The store manager is just an ordinary person, and so is the little girl named Shirley, and the entire antique store has not been affected by supernatural power or evil will. They should have escaped by chance. What about you? Did you find anything during your contact with Nina?"

"Everything is normal," Heidi also nodded. She raised her hand to caress the crystal pendant on her chest again. The string of stones representing the School of Truth on her wrist slipped slightly, and one of the links was missing, but she She didn't care at all, "However, it's a bit strange for Nina to mention one thing during hypnotherapy."

"Weird? What's the matter?"

"She mentioned that she encountered a fire when she was a child, the fire in the factory leakage incident 11 years ago," Heidi said casually, "But you also know that 11 years ago there was no..."

Just when she was halfway through speaking, a sudden sound of brakes accompanied by the vibration of the car body interrupted her words. Fan Na suddenly stopped the car and stared at her friend with wide eyes: "Big fire?! Nina said she Remember there was a fire 11 years ago?"

"...Yeah," Heidi was a little dazed, "Why did you react so strongly?"

Fan Na didn't speak for a while, but her face changed twice quickly, and Heidi noticed something from the other party's reaction: "Do you want to turn around and go back immediately? We can ask..."

"No." Fan Na suddenly shook her head after contemplating, and immediately put her attention on the road ahead again.

The car started up again, and in the darkening sky, the scenery of the streets on both sides gradually accelerated and receded.

Heidi was worried, and looked at her friend sitting in the driver's seat in confusion. She seemed to want to ask something, but before she could speak, Fan Na shook her head slightly.

"I know you're confused, but don't ask, and don't mention it to anyone else until I've confirmed some things."

Speaking of this, she paused, and then said softly as if she was talking to herself: "Perhaps...we came in a little hurry today."

(Ask for the tickets at the end of the month in advance. It is said that there will be double monthly tickets at the end of this month. If you have tickets, save for two days first~)
