Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 792: Alice’s “Liberation”

But it had always hidden its thread—until now, with the captain's permission, it saw the thread on the ship.

Alice became happy, and her consciousness began to flow in this huge new body, running around with complete novelty. She found that there were still many areas on the ship that she could not feel or see through, including the captain. bedroom, and part of the structure at the bottom of the ship, but even after removing these parts, she discovered many unseen secrets on the ship - some rooms she had not yet explored, some locked cabins, some only the captain I just learned about the corridors and mezzanines...

But suddenly, Alice's happily flowing consciousness felt an oncoming resistance. In the illusory roar, she stopped in this boat-like network woven by countless thin threads, and something was holding her head against her. She hit a stop - or maybe two things.

The doll stopped blankly. Deep in the dim space woven by countless thin threads, she saw a...goat head.

The goat's head was floating somewhere, looking at her with a confused expression.

She also looked at the goat head with a confused expression.

What the hell! ? After a few seconds of confrontation, the phantom-like translucent goat head floating out of thin air finally let out a strange cry.

Mr. Goat Head! Alice became happy and wanted to raise her hand to greet the other party as usual, but suddenly remembered that she was just a simple consciousness wandering in a new body, so she shouted in a loud voice, "The captain asked me to Take the helm!

I know you are at the helm. The goat head looked at the puppet with a confused expression. He was monitoring the situation of the entire ship as usual, but he never expected that a spirit running around would suddenly appear in the spirit of the Lost Home. thing, and I glanced at it curiously, and then bumped into this ignorant and reckless doll, but why are you here? blessing

I don’t know. Alice looked confident. Isn’t that what it’s like to be at the helm? And why are you here?

...I have been with this ship for a century. Why do you think I am here? The goat head suddenly opened its eyes and looked at the puppet in front of it, which seemed like a ball of phantom light in its perception. And who told you that this is how it is to be at the helm? The man at the helm usually does not put his soul into the soul of the ship! And you are still running rampant, and you are not afraid of hitting people...

Alice was stunned for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to her mind: Under normal circumstances, would she bump into someone in the "soul" of the ship?

Goat Head:…

But I did bump into someone. Before the goat head could react, Alice immediately changed the topic and said with an awkward smile, and why do I feel like it wasn’t just you who bumped into me... I always felt that there was someone A flash of black shadow...

Halfway through her muttering, she suddenly heard a weak and resentful voice coming from the void: It's me...

Alice was startled, and saw that the dark chaos around her was indeed scattered with irregular and strange shadows one after another. Those shadows seemed to be scattered fragments floating among countless threads and the hazy shadow of the Lost Home. Deep in the depths, a moment later, the largest fragment suddenly squirmed, and then many large and small shadows began to quickly gather and reshape.

A human figure stood up from the shadows - Agatha adjusted her adventurer's coat, rubbed her face again, making herself human-like, and then stared at the doll.

You just ran over me! Hit me to pieces! It's rare for a gatekeeper lady to always have a good temper. How can she be so unruly as you?

Alice looked at Agatha blankly, and then turned to look at the goat head next to her. Finally, after the captain, she became the second crew member on the ship to know about the strange and colorful life of the first mate and lookout. .

Now that things have come to this, she decided to have fun: ...hehe.

Goathead and Agatha lost their temper instantly.

Then their attention was focused on Alice.

Your current state... It's incredible. Agatha looked up and down at this doll that had become part of the Lost Home. With the professionalism of a former gatekeeper, she carefully observed Alice's mental phantom. So, this Is this your 'essence'? Or... something closer to the essence?

Alice thought for a while: What do you mean?

...It means that your usual body has been suppressing and constraining you, but now the more powerful 'carrier' of the Lost Home allows you to gain a certain degree of 'freedom'. Agatha's appearance towards Alice is also I'm used to it now, so I'm very patient when explaining it, don't you feel it?

Alice finally understood. The hazy light that looked like her was floating in the void and made a happy voice: Yes, it feels light and comfortable, but I always feel...

Always felt? Goathead and Agatha said in unison.

I always felt that... something was wrong. Alice stopped hesitantly and slowly raised her head while muttering, "This is not my body, that... is."

The goat head and Agatha were stunned for a moment, and then turned their gazes upward in unison.

A fragmented illusion far larger than the hazy phantom of the Lost Home has been hanging upside down over this chaos for some time.

...fuck!

A little bit, Alice nodded a little cautiously, but then a smile appeared in her eyes, but it's much better now! I just chatted with my friends and found that they are also quite nervous, so I am not so nervous anymore...

Fanna looked at the doll with strange eyes: ...Do you know why they are nervous?

I don’t know. Alice raised her head and looked confident. They didn’t tell me, but they said they would stay optimistic.

At this moment, Alice finally noticed Duncan standing aside. The doll quickly stood up from among a pile of barrels and ropes, waving happily: Captain! You are finally here!

Well, Duncan nodded simply with a sullen face, while sternly ignoring the surrounding objects that were moving away from the platform in various weird ways, and looking at the puppet, why do you still feel nervous?

Hearing the captain talking about business, the expression on Alice's face finally became serious. She quickly recalled her experience with the captain in the Alice Mansion, and recalled the time she held her hand in the weird black mist hall. The feeling in my heart when I was drawing the board, and then I nodded to the captain with a serious face: I remember it all, you asked me to remember that feeling... When you hold the steering wheel, imagine it as your own 'drawing board' , 'Tell' the Homeless Number all the information in your memory, right?

This is a plan based on the feedback from the Lost Home when Sailor was at the helm. Duncan nodded slightly, but now we are not sure whether the Lost Home can 'understand' the instructions you gave. After all, you and Sailor 'The recorded routes are not the same thing.

Vanna was stunned, while Duncan sighed with an expression he was used to, and then waved his hand to the puppet: Don't think so much, don't worry, Goat Head and I will monitor the situation on the ship throughout the whole process. We said we would let you take the helm, but It's just

To complete a 'symbolic' process. Remember what I told you before?

When Duncan and Vanna came to the stern bridge of the ship, Miss Doll was squatting next to the rudder, huddled with a pile of ropes and barrels and muttering. Duncan came closer and listened secretly for a while, and found that it was a human being. I'm giving psychological counseling to Tongzi.

The main content of the guidance is that although I don't know how to sail a boat, don't panic. After all, I don't know much about sailing because I said I don't know how to sail.

Duncan thought it had been a mistake to leave the figure alone on the bridge, and now he felt that the whole ship was tense.
