Chapter 101: Open-minded Alice

Duncan looked at Alice expressionlessly, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.

The echoes from history have not completely dissipated in his mind. The cold and seemingly see-through gaze of the Frost Queen half a century ago is still entrenched in his mind - but this afterimage that should have caused a lot of thoughts is now

He was confronted with Alice, a mentally retarded doll, and not only was he very petty, but he was also gradually turning into a harmonious figure when she pulled out her head like "Boo, boo, boo,".

After looking at it for a long time, Duncan finally couldn't help it anymore: "...What are you doing?"

"Ah! Captain!" Alice reacted belatedly, and quickly put her head in one hand and looked at Duncan, "Oh, I always feel like there are a few hairs stuck in the joints of my neck..." Duncan said in front of him.

Expressionless: "If you pluck it out a few more times, it's time to give the new hair a name."

"I'm already up! If they fall they'll be called Williams..."

It took a lot of effort for Duncan to control his expression and refrain from throwing the dry doll out of the cabin.

After a few seconds, he let out a long sigh and gradually calmed down.

To be fair, Alice's appearance did bring a bit of joy to the lifeless Lost Number, but sometimes it was too much.../The goat head was often unable to keep up with the rhythm of this puppet, and Duncan was unable to keep up with it most of the time.

I can't even figure out what structure is inside this guy's skull.

Maybe it's sincere.

Duncan's eyes swept over Alice, and he couldn't help but recall what he had seen in that dark space before..."Reverberation", his expression became serious, and the details he saw in the reverberation made him frown slightly.

wrinkle.

He was certain that it was the legendary Frost Queen Fanora who was executed by the rebels half a century ago. She was the "prototype" of the Alice doll mentioned in the background information about Anomaly 099. He saw it.

The scene of the "execution", and the opportunity for it, undoubtedly came from the "doll coffin" in front of him.

The spiritual fire established a connection between him and the coffin.

But what is the essence of those pictures? Are the "coffins" telling him something consciously? Are they some passively recorded "images"? Are they the memories of Anomaly 09? Are they real historical fragments, or are there certain distortions and modifications?

"Illusion"? The calm gaze of the young queen looking at him appeared in his mind, and he recalled the other party's soft request——

"No matter who you are, please don't pollute history."

Who is this sentence said to? Is it really said to myself? Does this sentence really span time and space? Or is this just the illusion outlined by the coffin making a certain response based on its own "visit"

?And after the Queen finished saying this, there was a slightly frightened voice under the guillotine, asking who she was talking to...

These continuous reactions are so real, even so real that it makes people feel a little chilly.

As for the last part of "Reverberation", the sounds coming from the darkness also made Duncan particularly concerned.

The Frost Queen was executed by the rebels. One of her "crimes" turned out to be "attempting to bring the Lost Home into the real world" and "building a second Lost Home". There was also a "lurking" plan, which seemed to also lead to

The reason why the queen betrayed her relatives...but he had never heard the goat head mention these things!

Goat Head often recounted to him some of the "great deeds of the Homeless Ship", such as how many ships it swallowed up on the Eye Channel, and what huge commotion it caused in which city, although eight out of ten of his words

None of them are very reliable, but if there was really a city-state ruler who had "colluded" with the Lost Hometown, he would have told it long ago - that guy would have to make up three thousand words for anything, let alone such a big thing!

Unless... this matter is false and is just a crime fabricated by the rebels against the Queen.

"Captain? Captain, are you okay?"

Alice's voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting Duncan's random thoughts.

Duncan exhaled softly and suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind. He glanced at Alice, trying to find some trace of "Frost Queen Lenora" in this guy, but he quickly shook his head.

shook his head

"It's okay, I just saw it

A little ‘record’ kept in the coffin.”

"Record?" Alice opened her eyes curiously, "What kind of record is it?"

"The scene where the Frost Queen was beheaded half a century ago," Duncan said calmly, "I saw her - she was indeed exactly the same as you."

Alice immediately touched her neck subconsciously. Miss Doll didn't know whether to feel nervous or to feel that the matter was ordinary. She struggled for a long time before finally holding back her words: "Could it be that I really am the Frost Queen?"

?He didn’t die after being beheaded, but was affected by extraordinary power and became what he is now?”

Duncan thought for a long time and said honestly: "If you don't talk, don't move, and just lie quietly in this box, I will really think so." Alice reacted for a moment, but did not react.

However, she quickly put this doubt behind her mind and turned to look at her "coffin" seriously: "Then... after the fire burned it, did it change anything? You succeeded?

Have you controlled it?" Duncan then focused his attention on the wooden box again, and carefully felt the remaining connection between himself and the wooden box.

The fire has faded, but the traces left by the fire remain forever.

In the invisible perception, he can clearly "see" the mark he left in the coffin, and feel the connection between himself and it. This is somewhat similar to the connection between him and the mutated sun emblem, but it is

It was more complicated and more subtle. Putting aside the huge mystery that the information recorded in the coffin brought to him, he did successfully establish a connection with this thing. However, unlike the simple structure of the Sun Micro Memory, he had no idea how to control the coffin.

No clue.

He didn't even feel that there was an option to "control" this thing.

He could only be sure of one thing: the coffin was now very stable and... "tame".

After the flames passed by, it seemed to have been completely "tamed", just like... part of the Lost Lot.

"I'm not sure. Maybe we need further testing to know whether it is safe, and then more testing is needed to determine whether the 'decapitation' effect comes from the coffin or from you," Duncan shook his head, "

But from what I feel so far, it is now very 'docile', just like other items on the Shiduo..."

-As he spoke, he - turned his head to look at the puppet beside him.

"The key now is you - do you feel anything abnormal?"

Alice pointed at herself curiously: "Me? I don't have it. Why do you ask?"

"'You and your wooden box are one, and together you are 'Anomaly 099'. Now that I have used flames to usurp the authority of the coffin, you, the doll, may be affected to a certain extent," Duncan looked at Ally seriously.

Si, he knew that the doll was slow to respond, so he gradually got used to telling her clearly, "Move your body and tell me if anything is wrong."

Only then did Alice react belatedly, and quickly stood up to check herself. She ran around the room twice, jumped on the spot, and finally returned to the wooden box and curled her fingers towards her wooden box.

The head and wooden box did not move at all.

"It...it's disobedient!" Alice was shocked, and finally discovered the big problem, "It turns out that it will float as long as I give it a command!" Duncan's heart moved - when Alice said to the wooden box

When he raised his fingers, he seemed to feel some response from the coffin, but...

This coffin is waiting for his order.

His eyebrows twitched, suddenly a little embarrassed: "Maybe... it's because after being exposed to the spiritual fire, this coffin has regarded me as a higher-level 'master'." Alice was stunned.

Looking at the captain in front of him, his expression became visibly aggrieved.

"But it doesn't matter, I can lift my restrictions on it." Duncan felt even more embarrassed when he saw the aggrieved Bala on the doll's face, and quickly waved his hand, "It will still obey your orders."

Alice was stunned, then turned around and hooked her fingers at her wooden box - this time, she finally saw that the wooden box responded to her order again, just like usual.

Miss Doll immediately burst into laughter. After letting the wooden box fall back to the ground, she immediately rushed forward and hugged its lid: "Great! I thought you wouldn't be obedient in the future!" Duncan looked at the rapid switch of emotions with a subtle look on his face.

Miss Doll, she held it in for a long time before she finally said: "Sometimes... I really envy your open-minded attitude towards life."

After Alice heard the captain's words, she was stunned. She took a long time to react, but she didn't react...

"Forget it, as long as you are happy," Duncan sighed, "Are you sure there is nothing wrong with you?"

"No," Alice looked down at herself, "I don't feel uncomfortable at all, and... on the contrary, I feel better than before?" "Better than before?"

I can’t put it into words, I just feel... it’s very relaxing to rest? And there’s a sense of solidity and peace of mind?” Alice thought for a while, trying to find words to describe her feelings, “It’s a bit like the feeling when she was lying in the box before.

a sense of security

But now I'm standing in the box

Outside, I feel equally at ease..."

The doll was thinking while talking, and before Duncan could help her analyze it, she waved her hand quite openly: "It doesn't matter, it's not a bad thing anyway!"
