Deep Sea Embers

A doll, a doll that was so delicate that it was so lifelike that Duncan almost couldn't tell it apart at first glance—she lay quietly in that gorgeous wooden box, like a lady sleeping in a coffin, Waiting for someone to wake it up.

Duncan really felt that the other party would wake up in the next second.

But this is just an illusion, the puppet just lay quietly in the box, completely unresponsive to the surrounding environment.

Duncan observed this strange..."thing" vigilantly and cautiously: a puppet itself is nothing strange, but the other person's appearance that is too close to a real person and the coffin-like wooden box made him instinctively feel a kind of puppet. Dangerous, and thinking of the process of this box appearing inexplicably on the Lost Homelander, it's no wonder that he became vigilant.

After observing for a long time, Duncan was finally sure that the gorgeous gothic doll in the box would not suddenly jump up to give him a wave of surprises, so he was slightly relieved, then he frowned and asked about the goat's head: "Do you think this is what's the situation?"

"This should be the important cargo escorted by the previous ship," Goat's Head replied immediately. Although it said before that it didn't know the weird wooden box that suddenly appeared on the deck, its experience in sea affairs is obviously better than Duncan's. This fake captain is rich, "There are symbols pointing to the gods on the outside of the wooden box, and there are pins used to fix the chain around the box, which may indicate that it was once in a sealed state-transporting sealed things on the boundless sea is a very risky thing." Things, that ship seems to have some background."

"Seal?" Duncan's eyelids twitched subconsciously, and then he looked at the lid of the box that had been completely opened by him. The lid was broken when he came to the Lost Country, so he could easily push it. He doesn't know anything about seals, but he believes that the seal of this thing has definitely expired, "So this thing is a dangerous thing?"

"It's dangerous to those fragile ordinary people, but I don't think it will pose any threat to you—this kind of 'abnormality' that can be sealed with special skills cannot resist Captain Duncan's power. "

Duncan remained silent, with a serious expression, but his thoughts were fluctuating in his heart.

The goat's head's compliment sounds quite flattering - if he really is "Captain Duncan", maybe he really believes it, but he isn't, so he's flustered now.

Because the words of the goat's head have made it clear that the puppet lying in the coffin is a "dangerous material"! It's just that it can't threaten the real captain!

Although he now has the title of Captain Duncan, and even seems to have occupied the opponent's body and mastered some power, "Zhou Ming" is quite self-aware - he doesn't think that this will make him become the same as that " Like the real Captain Duncan".

He still doesn't know much about this world, about this ship, or even about his current body.

In addition, he also keenly noticed that a new strange word appeared in Goat's head's words just now - "abnormal".

Unconventional is abnormal, which sounds like a very common word, but the extra emphasis in Goat Tou's words made him vaguely realize that this word seems to have a special meaning here.

Perhaps, the word "abnormal" in this world does not only refer to the meaning of "beyond the ordinary", but also refers to a certain type of thing? Like... a puppet lying in a coffin.

It's a pity that he has no good reason to ask what should be "common sense" here.

After feeling in his heart that he still needs to carefully collect information and accumulate knowledge, Duncan frowned and took one last look at the doll, as if he had made up his mind: "I should throw it back into the sea."

When he said this, there was a trace of hesitation in his heart, especially when he was looking at the puppet, this hesitation was particularly obvious.

Of course, this is not because of the simple reason of "this doll is very beautiful", but because... "she" is really too much like a living person sleeping in a coffin, when Duncan thought of throwing it back into the sea, I even felt like I was throwing a living person overboard.

But this hesitation finally strengthened his determination.

Because he already knew that there are many weird and bizarre things in this world—even though he has only come into contact with the Lost Homeland in this world so far, even on this ship, he has already seen The talking goat's head, the mast that can sail by itself, the never-extinguishing ship lights, and the weird and dangerous sea, the haunting spirit world and the endless sea fog...

And just now, he also bumped into a mechanical ship transporting sealed items in this weird sea, and the things "escorted" by that ship strangely landed on the deck of the Lost Home.

As a rational and prudent person, he couldn't just keep this doll with something that might contain weird and dangerous power just because it looked beautiful.

Regrettably regrettable, Duncan finally resolutely put the lid on the "coffin" again. Because he was worried, he found nails and hammers from the cabin again, and seriously put another circle of iron nails on the coffin.

Finally, he pushed the "casket" containing the doll to the edge of the deck.

The voice of the goat's head came to the ear: "You can dispose of your spoils as you like, but I will still make a suggestion in a respectful and humble way. You don't have to be so cautious. The Lost Land has not increased its spoils for a long time..."

"Shut up." Duncan simply snapped off the balabala of the goat's head.

The goat's head fell silent, while Duncan kicked the "coffin" vigorously, kicking it directly into the sea.

The heavy wooden box fell straight down from the edge of the deck, and fell straight into the sea that had returned to its normal color. After making a dull sound, it floated up from the water and gradually drifted towards the stern of the Lost Home.

Duncan watched the box drifting away with the waves, and he was not relieved until it was completely covered by the stern of the ship. Then he looked up into the distance again, and saw that the mist on the sea had completely dissipated, and the blue sea was surrounding the Lost Home Slowly undulate.

The ship has completely left the "spirit world" and returned to the real dimension.

On the nearby sea, there was no trace of the mechanical ship that briefly crossed with the Lost Home.

Duncan frowned slightly, and simply estimated the time elapsed after the two ships met and the respective speeds of the two ships.

According to the current situation on the sea, the ship should not have disappeared from sight so quickly.

"...Is this also because of this weird sea? Or is it related to the so-called 'spiritual voyage'?"

Duncan muttered in his heart, but soon, his attention was attracted by other things——

He saw a ray of golden light suddenly appear in the depths of the never-dispersed clouds over the sea.

The bright golden sunlight is gradually filling in, as if the thick curtain-like clouds are gradually dissipating as if being brushed away by an invisible hand, the sea surface that has been gloomy for an unknown amount of time is gradually being illuminated by the sun——Duncan stood on the bow of the Lost Home, his eyes wide open. His eyes were fixed on the scenery where the cloud had dissipated, and at this moment, he suddenly felt an inexplicable touch.

Ever since he learned of the existence of "this side" a few days ago, and since he explored this strange ship for the first time, the lingering cloud has always shrouded the entire ocean, so much so that he almost thinks that there is no sunshine in this world at all. Think the world is always clouded.

He has been away from the sun for too long, even across the "door", in Zhou Ming's bachelor apartment, the thick fog outside the window has already blocked the sun.

But now, the boundless sea cleared up.

After being away from the sun for a long time, he finally has the feeling of seeing the sun again in the world of "this side".

Duncan subconsciously took a deep breath, opened his hands towards the direction of the sun, and the thick clouds quickly dissipated and faded as if in response. The shrouded huge sphere came into Duncan's eyes.

All of Duncan's expressions froze at the moment when he opened his hands to welcome the sun.

He stared straight at the sky with his eyes wide open. The sunlight was very dazzling, but it was far less dazzling than what he was familiar with. He could clearly see the thing hanging in the sky, and saw its spherical shell with countless dense lines, See the brilliant light flow overflowing around it, and under the background of the intertwined light flow, there are two ring structures that are concentrically distributed around the central sphere and are slowly rotating.

Duncan narrowed his eyes, and he vaguely discerned that the two rings seemed to be connected by countless intricate runes, as if there was some kind of supreme power imprinting an eternal bondage in the sky, turning the "sun "Prisoned in the sky.

Duncan failed to embrace the sunshine he had been looking forward to for a long time.

There is no sunshine in this world at all.

"What's that?" He said softly, his voice low and cold.

"Of course it's the sun, Captain." Goat's head's voice was as calm as ever.
