After asking where the rescue point near the square was, Heidi covered her head and left on her own, but Duncan had no intention of dealing with the "official personnel" over there - mainly because there was a piece of snow next to him.
Li, and this girl who can summon the deep demon obviously doesn't want to deal with the Deep Sea Church.
Watching Heidi's figure fading away, Duncan exhaled softly and first turned to look at Nina: "No injuries
Bar?
"No," Nina was still a little shocked. She had been subconsciously grabbing Duncan's sleeves, and then she suddenly let go of her hands as if she had reacted. Then she looked at Duncan with some surprise, "You haven't said anything yet, why did you
Will it appear in a museum?”
“I happened to be running errands nearby,” Duncan said with a smile, “and then suddenly I heard about the fire in the museum.
I came to save you."
Then, before the other party wanted to say anything else, he reached out and rubbed the girl's hair, comforting Nina who had just been frightened: "Okay, it's all over, as long as you're not hurt.
"I'm not a child anymore!" Nina shook her head, and then she saw Shirley standing next to her. Just as she was about to speak, a strange look suddenly appeared on her face, as if she had recalled something in an instant.
Thinking of something against her will, she looked up and down at the girl in front of her, "Shirley... why do I suddenly feel... you are a bit...
Shirley's attention was focused on Duncan a second ago. When she saw Nina's reaction, she immediately showed visible panic on her face. She opened her eyes slightly and glanced at Duncan again in panic.
Then there was even more fear.
Duncan was moved when he saw the change in the other party's expression, because the girl's expression was exactly the same as when she was caught evading fares on the bus. He glanced at Nina thoughtfully, and then briefly recalled his dealings with Shirley.
And the identity she plays now——
I already know that the two times I dealt with Shirley were when Nina was in school, and I also know that Shirley’s true character is extremely bad, rude and violent, and that she is not a "quiet and good child" at all. And I already know that, Ah
One of the abilities of the dog, a mysterious demon, is to interfere with the judgment of ordinary people in order to disguise its identity...
And her current "identity" is Nina's new friend in school, and this identity is full of loopholes.
Duncan touched his chin, reached out to hold Nina's shoulders, and pointed in the direction of Shirley with his chin: "Do you really know her?"
"I know her, her name is Shirley, she's my new friend, but..." Nina frowned, "But I don't know why.
What, just now I suddenly couldn’t remember when she appeared in school. Duncan turned his head and stared at Shirley quietly, who was already trying to reduce his presence. After a long time, he spoke softly:
You still have a chance to explain yourself, or I...
As soon as he finished speaking, Shirley burst out with a lot of words: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I just wanted to investigate the matter, so I sneaked into the school. But I really didn't hurt Nina, and I helped her block it in the museum just now.
Do you really believe me when I smashed down the wood? I really didn’t know that this was your family. I don’t understand the interests and hobbies of a big shot like you. Please let me go..."
Before Duncan could say the next words, the dog-whispering girl came out with a series of crying words.
Shocked, his first reaction was that this woman was so talented that she might be able to be used as a sparring partner for Goat Head.
Then he coughed twice, interrupting Shirley's chattering: "It's not a dependent, this is my niece."
As he spoke, his eyes also noticed Shirley's hands.
There were traces of being burned by the flames. Although there were only light scars left due to its amazing healing power, she seemed to have indeed been injured in the museum.
If she didn't lie (and probably wouldn't dare), then she should really be trying to protect Nina.
Of course, Shirley didn't know what Duncan was thinking. She was almost in a state of mental exhaustion at this time: "If you say it's a niece, then it's a niece..."
Only then did Nina vaguely react. She glanced at her uncle in surprise, and then at the "friend" in front of her.
"Friend": "Wait, do you...do you know each other? And Shirley, why...
"We met by chance," Duncan said calmly. He didn't let Shirley speak, because he couldn't tell what this guy would reveal in front of Nina. "It seems that we have a lot of things to talk about, don't you think so?"
, Shirley?
Shirley almost burst into tears. She looked at Duncan with a sad face: "If you say so...
"You said yes."
"Yes."
"Uncle, don't be so cruel to Shirley." Nina was still confused at this time, but she could see that her new friend was very afraid of her uncle for some reason, and her uncle was not very polite to Shirley.
She was a little uneasy and confused at the same time, "My mind is in a mess right now... Can anyone explain to me what's going on?"
"Let's go home and talk slowly," Duncan exhaled softly, looked up at the museum where smoke was coming out, and then turned to look in the direction he came from, "it's too messy here, and you two
Now that he looks so gray, he has to go back quickly to take a shower and change his clothes."
Shirley stammered: "I...I want to follow too?"
Then she nodded vigorously without waiting for Duncan to speak: "You are right!"
Duncan sighed a little dumbfounded. It seemed that no matter what Shirley wanted to do when approaching Nina, she would definitely be harmless next to Nina from now on. Then he shook his head and prepared to leave with the two girls.
At this moment, his gaze happened to sweep across the edge of the Museum Square.
A figure standing near the crowd at the edge of the square suddenly caught his eye.
It was a figure wearing a black coat, with his back to this side, looking in the direction of the fire. Judging from the back, he seemed to be a tall and thin man. The coat on his body was somewhat like a long windbreaker, and the long hem almost covered his face.
It covered his whole body, and the strangest thing about this figure was that he was holding a big black umbrella on this sunny day.
There was no wind or rain, and the sun was not too strong. A tall and thin man wearing a long windbreaker stood holding an umbrella.
Looking at the fire scene from the edge of the square, this scene will look a bit weird no matter where it is placed, but the gathering at the edge of the square
There were many people, but no one looked in the direction of the man holding the umbrella.
"Uncle?" Nina noticed that Duncan stopped suddenly and looked curiously in the direction he was looking, "What's over there?"
What?"
"There is a man holding an umbrella over there on a sunny day, which is very strange." Duncan said casually.
"A person holding an umbrella on a sunny day?" Nina was startled, "Where? I didn't see it..."
"I didn't see it either," Shirley also rubbed her eyes and followed Duncan's line of sight curiously, "Are you afraid?
I must have read it wrong..."
"Didn't you see it?" Duncan frowned for a moment. He glanced at Shirley and Nina, but the next second he turned his gaze back to the direction of the square, the figure holding an umbrella had disappeared at some point.
.
"Uncle?" Nina looked at Duncan with some worry, "Did you inhale a lot of smoke just now?
Uncomfortable? "I'm fine, maybe I saw it wrong." In order not to worry Nina, Duncan just shook his head,
Said calmly.
But his eyes still stayed on that side of the square, and he looked deeply at that side for the last time before retracting his gaze.
Eye.
If it were just a weirdo holding an umbrella, then this wouldn't be a big deal.
But if it is a figure that only you can see, the situation is different.
He remembered that figure.
Vanna led a team of elite guards to the vicinity of the Oceanographic Museum, but when she arrived, the sudden fire had already ended.
A gray-faced deep-sea priest came to the inquisitor with several defenders who had also just rushed out of the fire.
"The fire suddenly subsided on its own," the deep-sea priest said immediately after saluting Vanna, "but we found no traces of extraordinary power at the scene."
"It will subside on its own?" Fanna's expression became serious as soon as she heard the pastor's report.
·You lead the team into the fire scene,
Did you find any clues?"
"There was widespread excessive panic, hallucinations, and gibbering among the citizens who fled the scene. I suspect that the museum
There is extraordinary contamination in it," the priest nodded, "but we searched around inside and found nothing... The only abnormality is that the flames suddenly subsided on their own.
Speaking of this, the priest made another gesture of praying to the goddess and added: "But it is precisely because the fire has disappeared.
Only by retreating can the guards and I exit safely.
Fanna thought for a moment and nodded lightly: "Okay, after the fire is completely over, I will arrange for people to search the museum thoroughly to see if there are any signs of changes in the collection...
After giving the brief instructions, the young judge raised his head and glanced at those who were receiving rescue and treatment.
The citizens who comforted and guided them seemed to be looking for something in the crowd.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far away: "Fanna! I'm here!"
Vanna looked up and saw an embarrassed Heidi waving hard to her in the crowd.
