Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 794 “Don’t say your last words too early”

When the captain summoned everyone and announced that the next sailing destination was the node where Lachem, the god of wisdom, was located, he still did not appear.

It wasn't until long after dinner, when Duncan and Vanna were walking on the deck, with Alice beside him, that the puppet couldn't help but ask again: Captain, where are the sailors?

Duncan stopped, leaned on a mast next to him, looked up at the empty deck, and suddenly turned to Vanna and said: Do you still remember what I asked you?

Fanna was stunned for a moment and quickly recalled it, but just when she was about to speak, a hesitant footsteps suddenly interrupted what she wanted to say.

Fanna turned her head in surprise and saw a stooped and hesitant figure appearing on the mist-filled deck - the terrifying mummy walked over from the opposite side with small steps, although the face was so wrinkled that the features were crowded. They were together, but their awkward and confused expression was still very obvious.

The captain...the sailor came to Duncan, raised his hand to say hello, and then looked at the puppet standing next to Duncan with a strange expression. What is that? I have a question...

Alice is already at the helm, Duncan said, and you should have noticed the movement on the deck. The sailor's expression froze, then hesitantly said: Then...

Your helmsman authority has been temporarily transferred to Alice, and she will be responsible for navigation.

The sailor looked at Alice with a stiff expression, then at Duncan, and finally raised his finger and pointed at himself: Then my mission...

finished. Duncan said casually.

Fanna's expression was a little dull: ...I thought that when you said people have to experience multiple deaths, you meant when they were forgotten...

I'm referring to the time when society dies - this can usually happen several times. Thinking about it every time, Duncan crosses his arms and looks indifferent, so remember this lesson - don't say your last words too early, in case you don't die. , very embarrassing.

Fanna's expression continued to be dull:...

Duncan ignored Vanna's subtle expression and just glanced down at the sailor. The latter was already squatting on the deck, picking at the cracks in the deck and muttering: I knew... you didn't look good at that time. It's so right, I didn't even dare to think about it... I just knew...

Duncan finally laughed.

He is in a good mood now.

But the sailor did not come to the deck, and when others came to ask what the phantom that had just appeared in the sky was about, he did not appear.

In the evening, when Alice prepared everyone's dinner and everyone gathered in the restaurant, he still didn't show up.

Captain, are you worried? Alice's response was very sharp. She immediately waved her hand, "Don't worry, I'm in good condition, and Pilot 2 is not malicious. Although I don't remember anything about it, I can feel that it is friendly."

I'm not worried about its malicious intent, I'm just worried that its existence itself will have an impact on you - after all, technically speaking, you were all part of New Hope, and now your 'status' and your 'essence' There has been a huge deviation. No one knows whether there are hidden dangers in this change. Duncan said and waved his hand, but it seems that there is really no need to worry about this now. Since even Pilot 2 said that you are fine now, I can rest assured that.

Alice scratched her head and said hesitantly, then looked at Duncan with some expectation and hesitation: Captain, I think I have mastered the skills of steering and navigation, so when should we set off next? I have promised to pilot No. 2 and be the first to find it.

Alice also looked up and suddenly remembered something: By the way, Captain, where did the 'sailor' go? He was at the helm before, so I thought he would definitely come and take a look...

Oh, don't worry. Duncan smiled strangely when he heard this, and then raised his eyebrows. He should appear soon.

Alice didn't know why, so she just nodded in confusion.

Miss Doll was obviously very excited. As soon as she opened her mouth, a lot of things were thrown at Duncan and Vanna. Those words could not be poured out. Duncan had a lot of questions, but he didn't find a chance to speak. I was stunned by this doll...

What's even more amazing is that this puppet chattered a lot, and every sentence was not connected to each other, and the context was completely illogical. Duncan and Vanna couldn't even sum up the understanding together. What does Alice mean? Of course, this has something to do with Fanna being a sports student...

Stop, stop, stop, calm down first, and think about it from the beginning. Duncan finally had to interrupt the ramblings of this excited doll. He first took over the Homeless Ship immediately to prevent Alice from continuing to contact the ship. What accidents will happen when we are together? Then he looked at each other up and down and said, "Do you feel like there is something wrong with you now?"

One day later, Duncan nodded slightly. Goat Head and I were adjusting the status of the Homeless Ship based on the 'feedback' just now. We will set off one day later. Before that, everyone will take a good rest and prepare for the next operation, and …

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head and glanced in the direction leading to the cabin entrance on the middle deck, but did not continue.

You don’t have to worry too much about Agatha. She often cracks. Sometimes when Shirley doesn’t do her homework, she will crack in place. Duncan listened to the doll’s story and waved his hand casually. It was Pilot Two. Appearing... this is an unexpected situation. Unexpectedly, it left such a communication path in your navigation key.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look Alice up and down several times, as if to confirm whether there was any change or damage to the doll.

Duncan's voice came from the side. Alice turned her head and saw the captain and Miss Vanna standing beside her. The expressions on their faces were a little strange. Vanna even raised her head to look at the sky from time to time. It seemed like there was some incredible sight floating there.

Pilot Number Two! Alice said happily, not hiding what happened just now. I just felt like I was 'connected' to the Homeless Ship, and then hit the goat's head. Agatha was shattered on the ground, but she pinched herself up. , and then I saw Pilot 2. It said it was coming to say hello to me. I also saw a big ship flying among the stars. I also had a dream, which was amazing! I fly so fast! And there's more...

After saying this, he paused and added: Speak slowly, one by one, don't get excited.

oh. When the puppet heard the words, he nodded honestly, then calmed down, and while trying to sort out his thoughts and vocabulary, he told the captain exactly what he had experienced.

Including the incident of knocking Lady Agatha to pieces - she still feels very embarrassed.

On your body? Alice finally stopped. After hearing the captain's words, she looked down at herself in confusion and shook her head honestly, "No, I feel pretty good... But I couldn't feel my body for a while just now. I was shocked at that time...

Can't feel your body? Duncan frowned slightly, and at the same time thought of the huge phantom that appeared behind the high-altitude clouds just after Alice took the helm, the countless threads connected to her body, and the vague consciousness that suddenly appeared inside the Homeless Ship in his perception. , he nodded thoughtfully, there was a period of time just now, your consciousness may have indeed left your body... Now tell me what you saw specifically.

The huge illusion quietly dissipated, leaving only streaks of gradually dimming light in the depths of the chaotic and dark clouds. Beside the rudder, the doll suddenly blinked its eyes, as if its soul had returned to the ship. In this body, her expression became lively again.

She raised her head, as if she was still looking at a figure that was quickly disappearing in the void, and then raised her hand and waved it happily twice: Goodbye! goodbye!

Who are you talking to?
