Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 191

The creation of the world hangs high in the night sky, the cold wind blows through the boundless sea, the fine waves float gently around, and the boat is shaking, like a dream that is about to wake up before dawn.

But Alice doesn't actually know what "dream" is - she has been asleep for a long time, but she has never really dreamed like a human being, but she guesses that dreaming should be in a state similar to this.

Floating in a very big place, my thoughts also drifted along.

She raised her head, and saw only sea water in the distance, and the distant light of the Lost Homeland was like a small candle light floating on the sea surface, which even gave her a feeling, as if the whole world had disappeared, and all that was left was herself, the boat beneath her, and the boundless expanse.

Oh, and there are three final missionaries who are tied up on the opposite side.

The puppet girl withdrew her gaze from a distance, and looked curiously at the cultists who were tied up in front of her.

These were human beings, the very bad kind—Alice didn't know any human beings, but she knew that there were good people and bad people among them. Captain Duncan will despise them for doing bad things, and sometimes report them, and the three in front of him... belong to the kind that the captain dislikes the most.

They believe in subspace and follow vicious beliefs. They can kill anyone for their own fictional righteousness, even attack a poor little girl who lives with a dog. If the guards of the city-state find them, they will not hesitate. They shot them indiscriminately in the streets, and if sailors at sea found them, they would hang them from the mast-even if the most vicious pirates found them, they would stuff these madmen into wooden boxes and throw them into the woods. In the sea, use this method to pray for the protection of the goddess of storms.

But now they are tied up, and they are quiet, and there is no sign of any crazy and out-of-control impulses-Alice still remembers the scary appearance of these people when they first arrived on the ship, and they were as excited as eating Like the wrong medicine.

Now as time goes by, these final missionaries are getting more and more honest.

"Aren't you afraid?" After holding back for a long time, Alice finally couldn't help but speak. She was really uncomfortable here, even though she knew it was necessary for her to be able to operate in the human city-state." Safety test", this feeling of floating in the boundless sea still made her feel uneasy.

One of the final missionaries responded to the voice of the puppet, and his skinny skull like a skull slowly lifted up, staring into Alice's eyes: "Stupid filth, clumsy body...your soul is pale and Empty, even the subspace will not accept..."

Alice was stunned for a moment, and it took a few seconds before she realized: "Hey, why are you swearing!"

The preachers at the end of the end just let out a series of hoarse and ugly laughter. They didn't seem to have any fear of the "abnormality 099" that frightened the world.

Or as they themselves claim, they have already transcended the concept of life and death, and no longer care about the coming of death in the real world.

Alice could only sulk herself, but after a while, she shook her head again: "I'm not angry anymore."

Another preacher of the end Yan looked up at her, but said nothing.

Alice said to herself: "I shouldn't be angry, you can complain a few words, after all, you are the ones who are tied up now, not me, and you are the ones who are going to do this kind of head-off test, captain As I said, you can’t get too complacent when the wind is down, because the waves capsize the boat, and people jump too much... and you have all fallen to this, I am a large number of adults, and I allow you to speak a few words."

In the end, the missionaries sat silently in the cabin, listening to the chatter of the puppet, as if they had completely blocked the latter's voice, but after a while, Alice still noticed that these people had some "little movements"——

They were looking at each other's heads calmly, moving their necks from time to time, and occasionally looking this way cautiously, with doubts in their eyes.

Alice thought about it carefully, and felt that these people might be wondering why their heads were still on their necks.

These cultists obviously know the information about Anomaly 099. They may not be afraid of death, but they still have curiosity——after staying close to Anomaly 099 for so long, they find it difficult to understand their own survival.

"Actually, I'm a little scared," Alice said suddenly, "I'm afraid that your heads will suddenly fall off—the captain said that I have the ability to behead people, and I was taken aback when I heard it for the first time .Humans are different from me. Humans cannot return their heads when they fall off..."

A sound of flapping wings suddenly came from above, and Alice looked curiously at the direction of the sound, and saw the pigeon Ay suddenly fly to the distance, and after a while, it flew from the direction of the Lost Home again. It flew over, with green flames rising from its body.

Ai turned around twice on the sea surface near the boat, green flames rose into the sky, and in the grand vortex of flames, a gorgeous wooden box emerged out of thin air, and then fell to the sea surface next to it with a plop.

"My suitcase!" Alice opened her eyes wide and yelled in amazement, and then the words "sweep out" appeared in her mind, and her head almost fell off her neck—but then she Noticing that there seemed to be a note stuck on the wooden box, he quickly rowed twice with the oar at hand, leaned over and took the note off, and saw a line written on it:

"The ability of the guillotine may also be related to your wooden box, and it will be sent to the test. Another: You must be thinking wildly again that I will drive you off the ship-don't think about it, come back as soon as you finish the test."

Alice picked up the note and read it upside down several times, but found that she didn't understand it.

she can't read...

But soon she saw something else on the back of the note, a scrawled stick figure of her rowing back to the Lost, with a smiling emoji at the end.

The puppet lady understood—no matter what was written on the front of the note, the captain had no intention of driving her away anyway.

She calmed down, carefully put away the note, and casually picked up the wooden box from the sea, and threw the actually heavy box on the boat with one hand with a "bang", and then looked up at the few people on the opposite side. A cultist: "Are you hungry?"

The missionaries didn't respond, and she didn't care, she just muttered to herself: "Although the captain said that you are people who deserve to die, he also said that if you can really complete the test without dying, he won't kill you —He’s going to get you back into the city-state, and use it for... what are you calling it..."

The lady doll was a little stuck, trying to recall, and then remembered what the captain said to herself before: "Oh, it is used to show the enthusiastic citizens' concern for the safety of the city... He said that you are worth at least seven bicycles. What are bicycles? what?"

"The subspace will give us warmth... The subspace will give us peace... The subspace will bless all the perishers, after all the end comes as promised..." A final missionary muttered vaguely It seems to be responding to Alice's ramblings, or just praying some kind of blasphemous prayer, "We walk in the end, abandon this cursed flesh, our minds will pass over that wall, and in the new world Open your eyes again..."

"Ah?" Alice was confused, "What are you talking about?"

In the end, the missionaries stopped responding to her, and did not give any response after that.

From then until dawn, they just bowed their heads and muttered, mumbling about things related to the subspace, mumbling about the end of a certain time, a certain doom that was destined to come and should come, blowing with the wind In the undulating sea waves, except for the sound of the fine waves beating against the planks of the ship, there is only the non-stop grunting of these lunatics.

This is an atmosphere that can make ordinary people creepy, and the content of its prayers can even make those who are not firm-willed be cursed, infected and entangled by the shadows from the depths of the world, but Alice only feels noisy.

She had got the little note from the captain, so she was no longer afraid of the drift, and now she was only bored.

But this boring time is finally over.

A ray of morning light suddenly appeared on the distant sea. In the twilight of the morning light, the world creation in the sky quickly faded and faded, and the sun locked by the double runes gradually emerged from the sea and jumped into the sky.

Its daybreak.

Alice didn't behead anyone.

Miss Doll looked at the sunrise happily. She stood up from the wooden box and turned to look at the cultists: "Hey! It's dawn! You are still alive! We can go back!"

However, the three final missionaries did not respond to her. They were still hunched over in the cabin, lowering their heads, muttering softly, calling for the last time in the short darkness before the sun was about to shine into the cabin. "focus on".

It wasn't until Alice reminded him again that one of them finally raised his head. The cultist glanced at the sunlight that was gradually creeping in, and was a little dazed, but gradually, a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Oh, another day of ours is over..." The crazy man sighed softly, then slowly turned his head, looking at Alice's eyes that were as perfect as gemstones, with a strange mix of madness and calm in his smile, "Puppet, we will meet again someday."

"Ah?" Alice was taken aback, "What do you mean? You can still run out of thin air..."

The sun spread over.

Silently, the figures of the three final missionaries disappeared into the morning light, like the phantoms of yesterday.

"It's impossible to run away..." Alice finished the half-sentence under the inertia, and stared, "Did you really run away?"
