Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 841 Leigh Nora was shocked

There was a slight creaking sound under the goat's head, and its neck slowly turned on the base. It silently looked at Duncan who returned to the captain's cabin, and followed the captain's movements with its eyes.

Duncan came behind the chart table and sat on the high-backed chair, holding the table with both hands. The chart on the table was filled with mist, and the hazy mist shrouded everything. It seemed that in this "sea area" that had already crossed the border, ”, even this incredible chart has lost its reference significance.

But Duncan's attention was obviously not on the fog-shrouded chart - his eyes were focused on a more distant place, as if through the tables and floors here, staring at the vast expanse outside the Lost Home. of nothingness.

After a while, the goat head finally spoke cautiously: "I just noticed... that the 'environment' around the Lost Home has changed a lot. Is that your doing?"

Perhaps affected by the atmosphere, the noisy first mate didn't talk too much nonsense this time.

"I did some tests," Duncan whispered. "I verified the conjecture that information is immortal, and confirmed that the information in this 'sea of ​​ashes' can still support the operation of things. In...a short test, The ripples of change do reappear in this cooling ashes.”

"But it didn't last, right?" Goat Head said hesitantly, "I just felt... the emergence and disappearance of the 'ripples' you mentioned. Although I don't understand the principle and process in between, I I can feel that something is missing behind those changes.”

"The first driving force is an 'inspiration' process that can instantly reset and fully restart the entire 'mathematical machine'." Duncan did not hide the "knowledge" he had touched in the brief "ripple" just now, "Simple It is useless to assign short-term and local values ​​to some of the 'raw materials' in this Sea of ​​Ashes. The 'entropy' of the Sea of ​​Ashes as a whole is prompting all changes to return to zero. Therefore, if you want to truly make the To convert the 'raw materials' into a new world, the entire system needs to be reset - as for how to 'import' the saved data of the old world during the process of resetting the system, it may be a relatively simple matter. "

The goat head was silent for a long time. After thinking for a long time, it slowly raised its head: "I'm not sure what you mean by 'entropy', but it sounds like you are still considering some very bad plans. I'm sorry. Let me tell you frankly, Captain...Miss Nina will be sad, you have an agreement with her."

Duncan didn't speak, just looked at the goat head on the table silently.

"You think you are the most suitable 'first driving force', don't you?" The goat head seemed not to notice the captain's gaze and continued, "Resetting the entire 'mathematical machine' sounds like it requires a huge amount of energy. and 'information', and you 'yourself' possess both of these conditions..."

"So, I'm thinking about any alternatives." Duncan suddenly interrupted the goat head calmly.

The goat's neck made a creaking sound, and it was obviously startled: "...I thought you were planning a self-sacrifice..."

"Yes, I have planned it, but Bartok reminded me of one thing before leaving," Duncan said calmly, "Don't use sacrifices to lay the foundation for a new world easily - sacrifices can always be the last and most helpless. The choice should not be the first option. To sacrifice too easily is to insult the 'sacrifice' itself - not to mention, I promised Nina and Lucy to go home."

As he spoke, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course, if there is really no choice in the end, I will not hesitate to die, but now... I think I should try harder to find a better solution."

"Do you have an idea?" Goat Head asked curiously, "Do you have any alternative ways to 'start' this process?"

"Theoretically, all I need is information and energy, and the 'information' part can actually be completed through later assignment, so all I need is energy to restart the mathematical machine and start running the 'information' Energy," Duncan said slowly while thinking, "I now have a vague solution to this problem, but whether it can be realized specifically..."

He stopped suddenly, his eyes seemed to be looking at something that did not exist in a certain direction. After thinking for a while, he continued: "I think I need to talk to a certain guy I have made an appointment with."

As he spoke, he asked casually: "What is Alice doing now?"

The goat head was startled for a moment, and after a little confirmation of the situation on the ship, a subtle human expression appeared on the hard wooden face: "...She is pulling the Frost Queen to do some very evil things... "

Even the goat head feels that something is evil - that can only be said that it is indeed quite evil.

On the spacious middle deck, Alice was pulling Le Nora to appreciate the unique skill she had recently learned. Miss Doll was so happy that she dragged the unaware Frost Queen onto a wooden barrel and pointed at it. My own head: "I just learned this recently! I practiced with Luni for a long time before I succeeded!"

Then, before Le Nora could react, the doll grabbed her head and pulled it up. With a sound of "boo", the head was thrown into the air by herself.

Then she moved her body left and right below to adjust her position, and used her neck joints to aim at the head that was falling in the air...

Only then did Leigh Nora finally understand what the doll wanted to do - but she felt that she might as well not understand.

And what's worse is that the puppet hasn't caught it yet.

Her head rolled and fell, just like the top of her head was facing down - the skull hit her neck firmly, making a "thud" sound, and then rolled to the ground, rolling all the way to Le Nora's feet, lying on her back At first, he blinked his eyes innocently: "A little... a little, I made a mistake... I missed a little... a little, help pick it up... get up..."

Leigh Nora watched this scene with twitching eyes. Even as the Frost Queen who had presided over the Abyss Project and faced the rebels without blinking, her expression seemed a little unbearable at this time.

Duncan happened to see this scene when he came to the deck.

He felt a big shock - but probably less than what Leigh Nora felt.

Then he quickly took a few steps forward, grabbed Alice's head and pressed it on the joints of her neck. After a "bow" sound, he looked back at Le Nora who was still in a daze, with a subtle expression on his face. And an apologetic expression: "Sorry, Alice sometimes thinks differently than ordinary people..."

Leigh Nora seemed to have just woken up from the shock at this time. She glanced at Duncan blankly, and then said after a while: "...This is the first time I have seen this scene from a third perspective."

Duncan: "..."

But what he didn't expect even more was the Frost Queen's second sentence: "Frankly speaking, it's quite interesting."

Duncan was stunned for a moment, and he held it in for a long time before he finally managed to say: "...You are so generous."

"When I was chatting with Alice, I heard that her neck joints always loosened easily when she mentioned it, so I asked her out of curiosity what the situation was." Le Nora spread her hands, her expression calmer than before. Many, "Of course, her demonstration method was indeed a little more exciting than I thought..."

What can Duncan say? He could only twitch the corner of his mouth and turned to look at the puppet that was walking over while holding his head to adjust the angle - the latter didn't realize that the atmosphere was a bit subtle when he came over, and he bent down and put his neck in front of Duncan. : "Captain, your hair is stuck in your joint, help me get it out."

Duncan's eyes trembled, and while helping Alice deal with the hair in the neck joints with a subtle expression, he raised his head and smiled awkwardly at Le Nora.

Le Nora didn't seem to care, she just looked at the scene in front of her with interest, which no matter how you looked at it, had nothing to do with "simple and normal life scenes", but for some reason it was extraordinarily peaceful. After a while, Then he smiled and said: "It seems that she is really living a happy life."

"It would be better if you could stop being so heartless all the time," Duncan sighed helplessly, "Seriously, are you okay? Just about the scene just now... I thought you would have some psychological shadow... …”

"It's not bad," Le Nora breathed out, "I didn't see it myself when I cut it off - things related to association can be overcome."

Duncan thought about it and felt that this "Frost Queen" obviously had a very strong heart - and peripheral nerves that were even stronger than her heart.

At this time, Alice seemed to realize something and turned to look at Duncan: "Captain, are you here to see me?"

"Well," Duncan carefully took out the last strand of Alice's hair that was caught in the joint and nodded, "We have arrived here, and we have another appointment... It's time to keep the appointment."

Alice blinked and finally recalled something: "Ah, the burning meat ball hanging at my door..."

Duncan was a little surprised. He was surprised that the doll could still remember this incident accurately, but he was even more impressed by Alice's fresh and refined way of describing it...

Leigh Nora looked on without knowing why. She didn't know what the two of them were talking about. At this time, she couldn't help but asked curiously: "Going to the appointment? Where are we going to go next?"

"It's Alice and I who are going to the appointment," Duncan laughed. "Don't worry, we won't leave this ship. We will just go to another dimension briefly and come back soon."

"Yes, the captain is going to wind up my clockwork!" Alice said happily, and waved her hand to Leigh Nora, "You go back to the room first, and I will go and play with you after winding up the clockwork!"

Leigh Nora was even more confused when she heard this: "Wind up?"

But the puppet obviously had no intention of continuing to explain. At this time, it had already dragged the captain towards the back deck, and the two of them quickly walked away.

The "Frost Queen" was left standing there with a confused look on her face, her head filled with questions.
