In the prayer room where incense was burning and watched by the statue of the goddess, the two long-time friends fell silent at the same time. Only the blessings from the gods gently soothed the two frightened hearts, and the gentle sound of the waves gently
Echoing in Vanna's ears, it was the whisper of the storm goddess Gemona.
The goddess is still paying attention to this place, with unprecedented attention.
After an unknown amount of time, Heidi gradually calmed down. She carefully broke the silence: "What is that thing I saw?"
Fanna hesitated for a moment before speaking softly: "Perhaps... that's exactly what those Sun heretics have been looking for.
"Those Sun heretics have been looking for?" Heidi was stunned for a moment, "You mean..."
"Sun fragments," Vanna nodded lightly before Heidi finished speaking, "Perhaps only sun fragments can
It is worthy of the power you saw in your vision."
While saying this, Fanna slowly raised her head, stared at the icon of the Storm Goddess, and murmured softly thoughtfully: "After all... those heretics claimed that the sun fragments fell off from the so-called "real sun"
wreckage
Heidi was startled, and her expression suddenly changed slightly: "If such a thing had ever appeared in the real world, it would be impossible for the city-state of Pland to remain as safe and sound as it is now..."
"So that thing must be in some kind of sealed state," Fanna nodded, "Intelligence shows that eleven years ago
The sun fragments appeared in the city-state of Puland, but now it seems that the so-called appearance at that time was only a slight leak of power.
It has been dormant for the past eleven years..."
"And now those sun heretics want to wake up that thing?! Heidi looked horrified, "Do they want to destroy the entire Plande?!"
"It's not your first day dealing with cultists," Vanna glanced at Heidi, "You still don't know their mental state? For those fanatical heretics, as long as they can wake up the 'Black Sun' and sacrifice
What are one or two city-states? They don’t even mind letting the whole world burn and become the fuel for the resurrection of the sun god!”
Heidi kept her mouth open for a long time without saying a word, while Vanna calmed down and then slowly spoke: "The most important question now is, what happened when you saw that illusion - what happened to you,
Only by understanding what is happening around you and what is happening in the museum itself can you understand in what state the fragment is sleeping and where it is sleeping.
"...No, I can't remember the details," Heidi tapped her forehead lightly, "But now I am roughly sure that I did see its projection while I was in a coma, and I did it to myself in order to preserve important clues.
Emergency hypnosis was performed... Let me think about it, I was rescued and temporarily placed in a room on the first floor of the museum... According to what they told me after I came out, that room was close to the main exhibition area...
…
While Heidi was struggling to remember, she asked in thought: "Can't we conclude from this that the clue is in the museum?
"It's difficult to judge from mysticism. What you see is not the body of the fragment, but a little shadow of a huge extraordinary existence leaked in the real world." The museum is not necessarily the sleeping place of the fragment.
There is only a 'crack', and when humans are in a coma, the mental barrier is weak, so your consciousness will accidentally cross the gap. See
The scene on the other side of the rift.
"This kind of fissure at the edge of reality is often not fixed. It used to be in the museum, but now it may have been moved to other places."
Fanna explained patiently, and then suddenly shook her head: "Of course, we will still conduct a top-level search of the museum and maintain surveillance afterwards. After all, there will always be abnormalities and anomalies that are out of the norm. Maybe the fragment
It will really stay in the museum in the form of some kind of sealed medium. Even if it doesn't, we may be able to find some clues in the fire scene to explain why the "crack" happens to appear in the museum...
"But the subsequent search has nothing to do with you. From a safety perspective, you'd better not go near that museum for the next month.
"Of course, I wish I could keep distance from this matter," Heidi nodded immediately, "The unfortunate thing that happened to me
Enough already!
Fanna silently looked at her friend who had been unlucky since childhood, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing. She just remained silent under the statue of the goddess. After being silent for half a minute, she suddenly said: "You
Who was he rescued by?"
"Two girls who are still in school, and a man who looks to be in his forties," Heidi thought for a moment, "coincidentally, one of those two girls happened to be the one my father visited a few days ago.
student, and that man was her uncle...did I mention it to you? His name was Duncan Strain, and he was an antique store manager.
"...I am a little allergic to the name "Duncan" now.
The corner of Fanna's mouth trembled visibly
Down,
Next, "Although I know it's definitely not the same person......"
"The first time I heard this name from my father, I had the same reaction as you," Heidi spread her hands. "Speaking of this, I also promised the gentleman to go to his house tomorrow afternoon to do a test for his niece.
Psychological evaluation, I just happened to come to the door to do a formal thank you... Everything was in a mess today, and I said goodbye in a hurry, which was really not etiquette."
"Strictly speaking, it's not just the 'niece' who needs psychological evaluation," Vanna's expression suddenly became serious, staring straight at Heidi, "Those three people need it."
"Why..." Heidi said subconsciously, but then she reacted, "Ah!"
"Yes, they were all around you at the time, and you saw the appearance of the sun fragments while you were unconscious," Vanna looked into Heidi's eyes, "If it was really the remains of an ancient god, its contamination might have been
Follow your consciousness and spread to them. Perhaps the scale of this spreading pollution is small, but for ordinary people, it may also be fatal.
Heidi was stunned.
In the antique store in Lower Town, Duncan had closed the store early and was sitting in a relaxed posture on the chair behind the counter. Nina and Shirley sat opposite him, one on the left and one on the right.
The two of them took a bath in the simple bathroom upstairs. Nina changed into new clothes, but Shirley was still wearing hers.
Black skirt - It's not that Nina doesn't want to lend her clothes to the other party, but the difference between their bodies is really big.
Shirley took the initiative to reject the clothes that were too loose for her.
Of course, it is unknown whether this guy had other worries when he refused... Maybe she thought that taking Nina's clothes was equivalent to taking a gift from the evil god's family? Only she knew this.
On the other side of the counter, there was the pigeon Ai, who was pacing leisurely.
There was a pile of French fries on the table behind the guy - that's what Duncan promised him.
Ai got the French fries he longed for, Nina returned home safely, Duncan rescued his niece, and became more familiar with the power of fire.
Everyone is happy.
Except Shirley.
She was almost crying - she wanted to cry several times today.
"So... Shirley, you are not actually my classmate... you just used some...'detective skills' to sneak into the school to investigate some things," Nina looked at her with a complicated expression as she finally made friends with her. My friend, you don’t like steam and machinery either…
"I can't even understand those textbooks at all..." Shirley spoke carefully. She answered Nina's words, but her eyes looked at Duncan from time to time, "Sorry, I... I'm sorry.
Nina didn't seem to notice Shirley's apology. She just frowned in confusion: "But what on earth did you do?"
How can you do it? I.........Looking back now, you always suddenly appeared in my classroom, and then often appeared next to me.
You often come and go, but you never go to class normally, and even the teachers and classmates nearby don’t seem to notice you.
Shirley quickly glanced at Duncan again, and after confirming that his expression was still calm, she muttered in a low voice: "Actually, it's just a little extraordinary skill..."
"Supernatural?" Nina's eyes widened in surprise, "Are you an investigator of the church?"
"No, no, I'm not from the church, I..." Shirley glanced at Duncan again. She recalled the instructions that the boss had left her alone when Nina went upstairs to take a shower, although she still couldn't figure it out. I understand why this boss wants to play the game of "pretending to be human" in this antique shop, but he still obeys the boss's instructions honestly, "I am considered a wild... wild transcendent..."
Nina looked surprised: "... ·Are there extraordinary people and wild ones?!
"If it's not registered, then it's wild," Shirley seemed to have completely given up on something, and said with a certain self-destruction, "Teach those dogs... Isn't that what we usually call people who are troublesome enough?" of?"
Nina listened to Shirley's explanation in a daze, and then looked at the other person up and down several times. This up and down look made the latter feel uncomfortable. Shirley subconsciously dodged: "You look at me like this. What are you doing..."
"Then you are so awesome!" Nina suddenly said seriously.
Shirley was immediately confused: "...Is this what you feel about?"
