Deep Sea Embers

Now, the jump has reached its end—the long voyage beyond the border has finally ended, and the Lost Home has once again returned to the realm of sea and fog.

But this is just a temporary stop during the entire journey. Duncan's goal is not to return to the Infinite Sea, but to go to the frozen doomsday hanging high in the sky.

With slight vibrations coming from all over the ship, the Lost Home came out of the jump state. The phantom of the New Hope quickly dissipated in the sky, and the countless invisible threads were retracted into the doll's body. The Border The thick fog unique to the sea surged up from all directions almost instantly, surrounding the entire ship like a blazing welcome - the Lost Home sailed into the sea in the thick fog and slid for a distance in the calm, mirror-like sea. The ship gradually regained its stability.

Alice blinked, and her eyes quickly regained their clarity. She looked up at Duncan who was standing aside, and a smile quickly broke out on her face: "Captain! We're back!"

"Yes, we have returned to the Infinite Sea. I will be at the helm next," Duncan smiled and nodded to the puppet, then walked to the dark steering wheel. "You can go and have a rest, or you can just watch from the side."

"Well, I'm not tired, I'm watching from the side!" Alice said happily, then brought a big wooden barrel over from the side, and actually sat in the corner of the bridge, holding her chin with her hands and watching Duncan steer the ship.

Duncan looked back at Miss Doll, smiled helplessly, and then held the dark steering wheel with both hands.

The green spiritual fire burned between his fingers, spreading and flowing in all directions along the steering wheel. The deck and mast were ignited, and the translucent spiritual sails filled and stirred in the invisible wind - the Homeless Ship brightly Burning like the day Duncan remembered when he first took hold of the wheel.

Then, Duncan closed his eyes - not paying attention to the boundless sea or the eternal curtain. In his gradually closed perception, he only saw a cold and false sunlight that slowly faded in the darkness. A bright light path is outlined, pointing far ahead.

He heard a low roar coming from the depths of the Lost Home, heard the cables trembling in the air, and the cabin creaking. These cascading sounds were like continuous cheers, and in the cheers of the entire ship , he heard the weird, off-key sound of the goat's head.

It was a weird ballad. He had never heard it before, and he could not understand the lyrics with complex tones and weird pronunciations. It seemed to span distant time and space, and was passed down from some distant ancient time. Humming to please the gods is not pleasant at all.

But with his eyes closed, Duncan seemed to "see" something in that weird off-key humming.

He saw bright sunshine, magnificent mountains and rivers, a huge tree taking root on the earth, and the Creator who was wandering in a dream slowly walking out of the valley.

Creatures who have just awakened their minds surround the big tree. They decorate the resting place for the Creator with colorful stones and furs. They play crude and primitive musical instruments happily and sing songs that praise the breeze and sunshine in the morning glow and sunset. ,

Now, after all these years, their Creator remembered the melody.

Then, the Lost Home began to accelerate slowly again - the goat's head's off-key humming became the last barcarolle on the voyage, and the huge ghost ship further faded away from its entity in the burning of the spiritual fire, presenting a more beautiful appearance than before. A more complete illusory texture,

The flames rise, and rise again, until they burn up the ship, all its history, all the foundations of its existence, all the projections it has cast in all dimensions, and all its existence as an "existence" in the world. All the data units that had been occupied in this small shelter were filled with lavender starlight one by one in the flames, and the Lost Home was finally completely transformed into a huge one in the flames, with almost no outline and traces. The phantom of detail.

This phantom has no weight. It rises floatingly in the clouds and mist that cover the entire world. Following the path outlined by the false sunlight in the distance, it gradually accelerates towards the sky.

Zhou Ming clenched the steering wheel in his hand. For the first time, he "feeled" the world so clearly, felt that he was standing here, felt the existence of the Lost Home, felt that he was this broken, dark, and A part of the world that is gradually cooling.

He is one of the countless homeless people in this world.

Zhou Ming still closed his eyes tightly to avoid excessive "observation" that would cause the boundless sea to collapse in an instant, but his "feelings" - one by one - had already begun the final program of destruction of this world.

Starlight gradually rose at the edge of the shelter. Now, all the underlying information of this shelter opened the door to him.

The final disaster backup began to be imported into the reverse singularity database - with this final "import" process, the "reset" work starting from the external barrier also started.

Nina and Shirley's eyes widened in shock.

They arrived at the second floor of the antique shop, and the two of them carried Uncle Duncan's body to the window on the second floor. Even though the body had completely stopped functioning, Nina still let him sit next to her. "Look" at the situation outside with yourself.

The two girls looked up and saw that in the southeast sky there was a dazzling light rising from that direction, slowly moving towards the creation of the world in a slow but thrilling trajectory.

That dazzling light, mixed with dark green and lavender, even illuminated half of the sky, bringing a dawn-like "day" to the world at the end of such a long night.

"Wow

Shirley raised her head hard, stretched her neck, and let out an exaggerated exclamation. Then she tugged on the chain around Agou's neck and shouted in a fuss: "Agou, Agou, look at that!" The captain is really flying! It's about to start!

'I see, I see, don't swing the chain,' Agou said loudly while pressing the chain with his paws, 'hurry up and find a stable place to lean on, the last moment is about to begin, don't you do it every day? Wondering when to start? Right now—

"I'm a little nervous." Shirley suddenly became nervous. She pulled Agou's chain and leaned against the wall next to her, but soon came to the window again, "What will happen? Will it hurt? Or - one by one Will it pass? Will there be a bright light? "

"I didn't know," Agou said, but suddenly stopped.

Flames filled with starlight are burning in every crevice of its bones, spurting out of its body in a completely uncontrollable state,

Ascend.

Shirley blinked and raised her arms, seeing the same flames burning on her body. Through the light and shadow of the flames, she saw Nina beside her being gradually wrapped in flames.

"Uncle Duncan is observing the world through our eyes." Nina quickly reacted. She didn't panic at all. She just said softly with a gentle expression, "Don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid, but what should I do?" Shirley said in an obviously frightened tone while looking at Nina, "Keep your eyes wide open and look around, right?"

'Observing the world through our eyes is just a figurative way of saying it, actually.' Nina explained subconsciously, but halfway through she noticed her friend's clear and uncultured expression, so she swallowed the rest of her explanation. , turned into a helpless smile, "Okay, just open your eyes and look around. Uncle Duncan will arrange everything anyway."

"Oh!" Shirley hurriedly agreed, then really widened her eyes and looked into the distance as hard as she could.

And in the corner of Nina's eyes, at the end of the clouds covering the entire world, a magnificent scene that no one has ever seen in the real dimension is slowly rising into the sky, closing towards the sky like a curtain - stars, rising. Come up.

The Infinite Sea began to collapse silently into the starlight from the outside inward. First of all, the border outposts, lighthouses and mobile ports established by the Four Gods Church in the border waters, as well as the patrol fleets that have been staying near the Eternal Veil .

Then there are the Pinglu Islands, which are slightly closer to the civilized world, where explorers once stopped and left countless stories.

Then came the city-states located in the border seas

Lucretia stood on the highest deck of the Brilliant Star, and the ship was docked at the dock of Breeze Harbor - she held Rabbi's arm with one hand, and supported him on the seat with the other. On his shoulders was a small doll named Nelu, which was only a few dozen centimeters tall.

The clockwork doll Runi stood behind Lucretia. As always, they quietly watched the stars rising from the border of the world, and crushing towards this side like a magnificent curtain that stretched across the sky and the earth. , get closer.

The stars first touched a platform on the distant sea - it was once a facility used to study "luminous geometry". Now it is empty and the city-state is unable to recover it, so it can only become a solitary memorial hanging on the sea.

There was no disintegration process, no sound, and no flash of light—the platform blended into the stars silently, leaving no trace, and "behind" the starlight was only the ultimate nothingness.

Nilu hugged Lucretia's head hard, her little body shaking: "Mistress, I'm a little scared

"Don't be afraid, Nelu," Lucretia raised her hand and gently stroked the back of the little doll, "Next time you open your eyes, we will be in our new home."

"Yeah." The little doll nodded vigorously.

"The voice of the hostess Luni came from behind. Lucretia turned around and saw the slightly nervous expression of the clockwork doll.

"Are you scared too?"

"Kind of."

Lucretia smiled: "Then close your eyes. Open them again after a while, and it will feel like you blinked."

Lu Ni was stunned for a moment and closed her eyes obediently.

In the last glimmer of the corner of her eye, she saw the figure of the hostess quietly disappearing into the starlight.
