Deep Sea Embers

Duncan quickly withdrew his gaze from the golden mask, and let himself drop his eyes slightly like the ordinary believers around him, as if he was ready to listen to the teachings carefully.

He hasn't heard anything useful yet, and can't get the cult's attention prematurely.

And at the moment of bowing his head, the feeling of being swept by people's eyes came over again.

Duncan frowned slightly, and he followed his senses. Sure enough, it was the girl in a black dress with a strange bell around her neck who was secretly observing him—and when she turned her eyes, she turned silently. overdone.

This made Duncan particularly puzzled.

He was sure that he didn't know the other person, and there was no information about the girl left in the memory of the original owner of this body - why would a follower of the sun **** who met for the first time pay close attention to him so often?

Is it because the pigeons on his shoulders are really unique?

He just thought about it for a while, and then he heard the voice of the leader of the believer suddenly coming from the front - after wearing the golden mask, the leader has become the incarnation of some kind of divine power, and even the voice when he speaks is low and low. Majestic, I don't know if it was because he deliberately controlled his voice, or if the mask really mixed another consciousness into his voice:

"The prayer is over, the Lord has witnessed our piety and reverence - grace has shone upon our souls, brothers and sisters, be thankful, we persevered in this difficult and dark world for one more day, and we will be far away from the scorching sun. The day of life and order recasting is one more day."

The "priest" wearing a golden mask opened his hands and said in a very deceptive tone, and then his eyes suddenly fell on the corner of the believers, and his tone was calm and close.

"But before today's meeting, we first want to welcome two compatriots - they were once trapped in darkness in difficult times, but thanks to the Lord's guidance, they were able to return to the group... Let me introduce myself, Simple."

Two compatriots?

Duncan suddenly remembered that the leader seemed to have really told him just now that he was not the only stranger in this assembly hall, and then he looked in the direction the leader was looking at - he saw the man wearing girl in black dress.

For some reason, he was not surprised.

"You can call me Shirley," the girl naturally took a half step forward and said generously, "My parents are both believers, but unfortunately they were killed by the minions of the Deep Sea Church four years ago. I have been hiding in the cross all these years. The block, I have never been in contact with other siblings... Fortunately, you are here."

Her voice was not loud, and she sounded quiet and well-behaved. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it would have been difficult to associate such a child with a **** cult.

"Welcome back to our midst, young sisters," the leader nodded, then looked at the believers around him, "Sherry's parents were killed by the church purge four years ago, and we were on the list that year. The names of her parents were found on the Internet - followed by another compatriot."

The leader's gaze finally fell on Duncan.

"Duncan, live in the lower city," Duncan had already prepared, and took a step forward calmly. "A few days ago, the Deep Sea Church destroyed a sacrifice ceremony in the sewers. I am a survivor."

He said very briefly, but his attitude was sincere and frank enough, and the news of the Deep Sea Church's raid on the sewer cult's stronghold was widely known, occupying the front pages of several newspapers, so as soon as his words fell, several cultists around him started chatting in a low voice. , the leader in the center of the assembly hall nodded and added the situation: "This is also a well-tested compatriot. After experiencing the mutilation of those hyenas in the Deep Sea Church, he is still trying his best to return to the arms of the Lord— He has the blessed emblem as a token, which is trustworthy."

The leader's voice fell, and the followers who didn't understand the situation immediately cast their eyes on Duncan. Some nodded and others sighed. Duncan continued to cover most of his face and recite the multiplication table upside down...

"The brief introduction is over." At this time, the leader finally spoke about the part that Duncan was interested in. "Next, we will announce the latest situation."

Duncan's ears perked up immediately.

"...At present, a large number of compatriots are still gathering in this city-state, including not only ordinary believers with firm beliefs, but also powerful messengers and priests. Our strength in this city-state is gradually increasing, and the order is being reshaped. The day is approaching...

"But it is undeniable that the minions of the Deep Sea Church have also responded. Recently, the city-state authorities have become more and more strict with the investigation of foreign populations. Several of our gathering points have also been destroyed by the authorities. Therefore, brothers and sisters operating in the city must be sure to Be careful, the collection of sacrifices can be slowed down - the son of the Lord has issued a decree, the power we have collected recently is more than half, and there are still vacancies, and the son of the Lord will solve it by himself..."

The surrounding believers seemed to be greatly moved, and they began to praise the love and greatness of the sun god. Duncan immediately thought of the sacrifice ceremony he had seen in the sewer before. Gathering power with that kind of ritual, and it sounds like... that the group of behind-the-scenes manipulators called "Heirs of the Sun" actually participated in person this time?

At present, the strength collected by this group of cultists seems to be insufficient, because the city hall and church of Prand have already noticed their activities, but if those children also go into battle in person... I am afraid that the plan of this group of cultists will continue to advance!

At this moment, he heard the leader continue to say: "...Our main task at present is to determine the specific location of the sun fragments. Remember, our goal is always to make the real sun **** reappear in the world, and find it The lost sun fragments are the most important link!"

Duncan's heart moved - sun fragments? What the **** is that?

Could a stack of Sun Shards make the Spear of Adun bigger?

He felt that the pigeon on his shoulder suddenly became restless, and Ai Yin made a low cooing sound from his throat while shaking his body vigorously.

Through the connection from the fire of the spirit body, he could vaguely feel what the pigeon wanted to do.

It wanted to push, to push loudly, to get Duncan to take the Solar Axe and regroup a wave of troops.

But it can't speak - it's just a pigeon here.

This can make it depressed.

"Quiet." Duncan could only whisper, while rubbing the back of his hand on the pigeon's head to appease, at the same time, a cultist who was closer to the leader asked, "We can now determine the sun fragments. The approximate location of it? Is there any way to… detect it?”

"The sun debris is currently in a sleeping state and cannot be detected by any means," the leader shook his head, "but the Lord has given guidance, and the debris should be hidden near the lower city of Prand. In addition, considering that today there are New compatriots join, let me explain the situation again:

"According to the information we have obtained, the fragment first appeared in the human world eleven years ago, and it is very likely that it caused some kind of extraordinary phenomenon on a large scale - it may be a large fire, it may be an abnormally high heat in the entire block. , it may also be the spontaneous combustion of the collective human body, the group illusion, which is the direction of our current investigation.

"The city-state authorities have detailed information about extraordinary phenomena over the years, and the great **** scrollers have been trying to find these records. Some ordinary people living in the lower city may also remember the 'weird things' that happened here eleven years ago. , our task is to collect clues in this regard to infer the location of solar debris.

"But be careful, all inquiries must be careful. Although the authorities' management of the lower city has always been loose, the hyenas of the Deep Sea Church sometimes have a very sensitive sense of smell... They have become alert."

The leader explained the current situation to the surrounding church members, and Duncan's mind was also spinning rapidly. He paid special attention to the time point "eleven years ago"-according to the leader, eleven years ago, was The day when something extraordinary called a "shard of the sun" appeared, but Duncan noticed it was because of something else.

Eleven years ago, Nina lost her parents at the age of six.

It seems to be because of a fire.

Is it just a coincidence? Is there such a good coincidence?

Duncan worked hard to sort out the messy and broken memories in his mind, but most of these memories have disappeared with the death of the original owner of the body. He tried hard to recall, but he could only remember one or two fragments of Momo Lake: The original owner of his body rushed out of the fire, holding his dying niece in his arms. A building that could not be seen was burning and collapsing behind him, and in the distance, there was a twisted, dim, phantom-like city street. Countless frenzied crowds screamed and ran in the streets...
