Deep Sea Embers

The awkward silent and delicate atmosphere in the captain's cabin lasted for a long time.

In the end, Duncan was the first to speak to break the silence. He looked away from Agou and looked seriously at the old Mr. Morris next to him: "Logically, do you think this makes sense?"

Morris blinked dully, his face confused and entangled, as if someone dragged him up to revise his thesis at 2:30 in the night. He felt that the test he faced when he was promoted to a saint was much easier than the problem now, so he held it in for a long time A sentence popped up: "Since the beginning of history... I have never heard of such a thing... This is beyond my cognition."

"It must have surpassed—Agou is the only one who can read characters in history." Duncan pinched his brows with complicated emotions, "Did you say in your teachings that the God of Wisdom would bless the Youyou Demon?"

"How could there be such a thing?" Morris's expression suddenly seemed like a ghost. "The deep demon is the enemy of civilized society. Let alone the God of Wisdom, it is impossible for the teachings of the other three gods to have such a provision..."

As soon as the words on his side fell, Fan Na, who had been stunned for a long time, suddenly remembered something, and followed quietly: "But it is also said in the teachings of the God of Wisdom that Raheem equally cares for everyone with a heart and soul." Intelligent beings not only descended on them to understand the wisdom of the world, but also protected them from those crazy and terrifying truths with the veil of ignorance... This does not explicitly exclude the deep demons from the 'smart creatures'."

"How can the deep demon have wisdom?" Morris subconsciously shouted, but turned his head with a strange expression in the next second, looking at Agou who was lying on the floor obediently.

"Based on Agou's learning progress, it can be arranged to take the high school entrance examination by this time next year," Duncan said quietly, "Maybe one day he can be at the same table as Nina."

"...I'm a little messy, I have to calm down," Morris finally shook his body, rubbed his forehead and slowly came to the chair next to him, sat down slowly while leaning on the armrests, and then raised his head with a complex expression Looking at the dog in the middle of the room, "You... what else do you feel besides those images in your mind? Did you hear him speak to you? Or did you have a brand new idea of ​​certain knowledge emerge out of thin air? understand?"

"No," Agou shook his head, "I saw those lights twice in a row, and I was taken aback both times. I didn't hear or feel anything other than that..."

"Just saw 'His'? Didn't receive any enlightenment?" Morris seemed to have calmed down, and began to think seriously, "Then do you feel that your calculation ability or memory ability has improved? After staring at those 'lights' for a long time After that, when you returned to the real world, did you feel that your field of vision was different from before?"

A Gou continued to shake his head: "No, not at all—and I didn't stare at those 'lights' for a long time, I just took a look, and then I was pulled back to the real world."

"Looked at it? Then was pulled back to the real world?" Morris was taken aback, obviously this did not match his cognition, "This is not right... the gaze of the God of Wisdom is accompanied by long-term thinking exchanges , even if mortals can't understand this kind of communication, the whole process is definitely not as short as 'one glance'... How did you get pulled back?"

"It feels like it was pulled back by Shirley," Agou thought for a while, then raised his head and rubbed Shirley's arm, "I just had the feeling that I was going to be 'taken away' by those rays of light, and I felt that the symbiotic chain was very Great strength, and then woke up - but Shirley herself doesn't seem to remember."

All the eyes in the room fell on Shirley again.

The girl who became the focus of everyone's attention shrunk her neck subconsciously, but then smiled triumphantly, like a child showing off after doing something amazing.

Only Duncan's expression became weirder after several changes.

Fan Na on the side was still puzzled: "I haven't heard of the symbiotic relationship between the deep demon and human beings, and the power to block the gaze of the gods... Could it be that the symbiotic relationship between Shirley and Agou is more powerful than ordinary people?" The closer reason for the Annihilation Cultists?"

"Ahem, maybe it wasn't the power of the symbiosis contract that brought Agou back." Duncan coughed dryly twice, and pointed at Shirley who was still laughing silly. "It might also be the power of illiteracy."

Fanna: "...?"

Shirley: "...?"

Several people were stunned, and Shirley's expression became more visible to the naked eye. Morris looked at Duncan with astonished eyes. Pass!

However, after a short period of astonishment, Morris couldn't help thinking along this line of thought, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt...how reasonable?

"Perhaps at that moment, there was a 'scramble' for the supernatural domain on Agou. On one side was the God of Wisdom's gaze, and on the other was his illiterate partner, and the final facts proved..." Duncan rubbed his forehead, with a hint of emotion in his tone. Sighing, "Desperate illiteracy triumphs over gods who want to recruit students."

"Logically...Logically..." Morris opened his mouth, and after saying it several times, he could only spread his hands, "Forget it, I don't know how to calculate this logic anymore, I will write a paper on this matter I'm afraid it's enough for the scholars of Moco to fight blood in the center of the city-state, so let's assume that's the case."

An unspeakable and unsettling atmosphere lingered in the captain's cabin. Shirley stood in the middle of the room, but she seemed to be about to cry. She looked at Duncan, then at Morris, and finally pointed at Agou with a mournful face: "That...then Am I dragging Agou's hind legs, it...it obviously..."

At this moment, or possibly the only moment in this life, the idea that she should study hard appeared in Shirley's head, but the next second, Duncan's voice interrupted her: "Don't rush to conclusions, maybe "Isn't this as simple as we thought?"

Shirley put away her frustration immediately: "Huh?"

Duncan didn't answer her doubts immediately, but looked at Agou: "Agou, you just said that you felt like you were going to be 'taken away' when you watched those lights?"

Agou immediately nodded.

Duncan turned to Morris again: "Do people who are blessed by the God of Wisdom have this feeling of being 'taken away'?"

"No." Morris also seemed to faintly react at this time, shaking his head while his tone gradually became serious, "The normal blessing process is a friendly spiritual exchange and enlightenment. The mind of the blessed person is clear and happy. There’s no sense of this tendency to get out of control.”

"What will happen if a deep demon is really 'imbued' with wisdom by the God of Wisdom Lahmu, or if he receives some kind of... divine grace?" Duncan asked immediately.

"...I don't know, this kind of thing has never happened, but judging from logic, this may be a very dangerous process," Morris thought quickly, and immediately understood what Duncan meant, "Four righteous gods and crazy out-of-control' There is a natural conflict between the ancient gods, and this conflict is not limited to the literal sense of "struggle", but the essential "mutual exclusion" between the creations or dependents of the two parties - the deep demon as a derivative of the deep lord Things', naturally have the characteristics of chaos and corruption, even Agou is no exception to this point, and for the God of Wisdom..."

Morris paused, and looked at Shirley with a serious expression: "Even if my lord is not malicious, its brilliance will naturally destroy Agou's mind, and the result is..."

Morris didn't go on talking, and the other people in the room fell into their own thoughts for a while, but Ai, who had been resting on the chart table with his eyes closed, suddenly jumped up, flapping his wings vigorously as if out of some nerves At the same time, he let out a sharp and weird cry: "Kun Jin is burning hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot!"

After yelling so hard, it jumped up suddenly, and then fell on the table with a "bang" like a stone, then stood up with a thump, and walked two steps like a normal person, and came to the goat's head. The side tilted his head: "Will you charge Q coins?"

Everyone was taken aback by the weird and convulsive behavior of the pigeon spirit, and no one could understand what it was yelling, but Duncan's expression changed slightly.

In the next second, a sentence appeared in his mind somehow——

Two mutually incompatible operating systems, data intercommunication will cause fatal errors.

Accompanied by a moment of sudden surprise and messy associations in his head, he slowly turned his head and looked at Agou.

"Is there a possible data conflict between the Profound Lord and LH-02..."

"Ah?" Ah Gou didn't react immediately, "What did you say, Captain?"

"No, it's nothing." Duncan knew it was difficult to explain to others how many things he had thought of just now, so he could only wave his hand, and then looked at Shirley who was still looking at him with a dazed expression, and the vocabulary in his mind was overwhelmed. After several rounds of reorganization, the sentence finally came out, "Shirley, it may be beneficial for you to 'pull' Agou back-I mean, just 'possible', which prevents Agou from being pulled by the god of wisdom. Mu's will 'contaminate' or 'devour'."

Shirley's head was spinning for a moment, as if she finally understood Duncan's meaning, and her eyes immediately brightened again: "Ah, so...it's a good thing for me to keep a distance from that God of Wisdom?"

What else can Duncan say? He can only nod.

As a result, he nodded his head, and the expression on Shirley's face suddenly brightened: "Then is there a reason for me not to do my homework in the future?! I have to bring Agou back!"

Duncan: "...?!"

He never expected that the girl's first thought was this!

But this time he didn't speak yet, Morris next to him was the first to react: "It's not that simple."

Shirley was taken aback: "Huh?"

The old man looked serious: "My lord's blessings don't just depend on the level of knowledge, and vice versa—and from my observations during this period of time, even if you do your homework every day, it won't affect your rejection by the God of Wisdom." outside the door."

Shirley: "??"
