Duncan looked at the nervous Agou and smiled as kindly as possible - he felt that there might be a misunderstanding between him and the other person, and it was better to resolve this misunderstanding as soon as possible.
But just before he was about to speak, he suddenly saw the blood in Agou's eyes flickering - even though he couldn't see any emotional changes from a bone head, he seemed to be able to feel the intense turmoil of this deep hound.
Feeling.
The next second, he heard Agou's stammering voice: "You...are you the 'Mr. Duncan' we have been dealing with these past two days?"
Duncan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Shirley next to him.
He didn't see any communication between Agou and Shirley, but it was obvious that there was a convenient means of sharing information between these two individuals connected by chains.
"It's me," Duncan said with a smile and a gentle tone, "Do you need me to explain anything else? Or is there anything you want to know?"
Need to know any 'knowledge' or 'truth', we are interested in your
"No!" Agou almost screamed, his whole body retreating, "We don't
The secret has no intention of prying!"
.....I always feel that there are still some misunderstandings between you and me, but it seems that the explanation is becoming increasingly unclear." Duncan sighed and shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, let time help slowly.
Let's build mutual trust, but now, there are things I want to know."
Agoyu pulled his head: "You...please speak."
Duncan frowned. He was actually very curious about why he, a ghost captain who was so famous in the real world, had such a big influence among the demons of the deep, because in his impression, the deep sea was a "place" that was particularly close to subspace.
", the demons entrenched in the deep depths should be less fearful and resistant than the Homeless Ship returning from space.
Mortals in the real world are closer to those "bottom shadows". Correspondingly, they have a greater influence on people from Asia.
Just touch it.
However, it now seems that those demons who are "dangerous beings" to humans are actually as afraid of the Homeless Ship as humans, which makes him quite confused.
But before he could figure out this problem, his first concern was the "nightmare" scene in front of him - this nightmare came from the depths of Shirley's memory and was very likely to recreate the truth of eleven years ago.
"I want to know the situation of this tenant's dream," he said, his eyes falling on Shirley, "I know this is a very painful memory for you. If you don't want to talk about it, you can refuse."
"...There is nothing I don't want to say," Shirley just shook her head slightly, "I should thank you. You interrupted this nightmare, and I can suffer less... As you can see
, this is what I experienced back then.”
"Is it a big fire..." Liu Duncan nodded slightly, then looked at Agou, "What I saw was the first 'encounter' between you and Shirley?"
Agou turned away and said, "I was just a deep demon at that time."
"Then how did you suddenly get the heart?" Duncan asked curiously, "As far as I saw just now, you almost killed Shirley back then."
...I don’t know,” Agou was silent for a few seconds, slightly moving his ugly head. “When I first became self-aware, what I saw was the sight of Shirley lying on the ground dying.
Already."
Duncan took a deep look at the mysterious hound, and then moved his eyes along the chain around his neck, and saw Shirley's dark and twisted half of the body, fused with the chain.
"After that, you... merged together?"
"That's right," Shirley whispered. She lowered her head, hiding her eyes and expressions in the shadow of her hair. "Actually, I can't remember exactly. After all, I was only six years old at that time, and it was a long time after that.
I have been living in a blur for a while... If you are really curious about how my relationship with a ghostly demon who almost killed me gradually turned into the relationship I have now, then you can go get a psychiatrist and come over.
I'll take a look under hypnosis, maybe...
шшш? ттkan? ￠ O
"No need."
Shirley's words were suddenly interrupted, and then she was shocked to feel a large palm pressing on the top of her head.
That palm was actually warm.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to reveal your scars, I just want to know the details of eleven years ago," Duncan gently pressed the girl's hair. He knew that his questions were very disturbing to Shirley, who had just escaped from the nightmare.
He said unhappily, "You should know that in the incident eleven years ago, not only the fragments of the sun appeared, but also countless cultists were active, and the Deep Hound...theoretically should be the summons of the Annihilation Sect.
Object."
Shirley raised her head in confusion. She heard Duncan continue: "A demonic creature from the deep sea suddenly gains human nature. This in itself is a kind of 'mutation'. Have you ever thought about it, this kind of mutation may also be...
Affected by a certain inducement back then?"
Shirley blinked and said a little dullly: "Sun fragments?"
"I'm not sure... No one knows what form the sun fragments have, or what power they have. It's just that in the teachings promoted by sun believers, the 'real sun god' is not 'endowed with human nature' or related to it at all.
"Similar authority," Duncan shook his head, "so what caused Agou to show his humanity may be something other than sun fragments..."
"Are you saying that there may be more than just sun fragments that appeared in the city-state of Plande eleven years ago?" Shirley finally woke up, and her eyes suddenly widened.
"Just a little doubt," Duncan patted Shirley's shoulder lightly, and then withdrew his hand, "because I have always felt that there is a big violation in this matter: the sun fragments are pointing to the sun cultists' holy
According to the description of the cultists, its power is actually very simple, and in mysticism it is only related to the real sun god. However, during the chaos eleven years ago, only the officially disclosed documents were captured.
The cultists arrested already include Annihilation Cultists and Evangelists who have nothing to do with the real Sun God... Why are they getting involved?
"Of course, it can also be explained that the power of the sun fragments is so great that even people who do not believe in the sun god were affected and made them go crazy on the same day, but this cannot explain why things like Agou happened.
Weird...phenomenon: A demon with frenzied attributes suddenly gained sanity during an incident. What's going on?
"Even extending out, there are many suspicious places, including but not limited to the curtain covering the fire, the remaining memories in your and Nina's minds, the weird phenomena in the Sixth Street... We have always regarded
These things that are wrong are all attributed to the sun fragments, but now that I think about it carefully, are these really the power of the sun domain? Then the so-called real sun god is too omnipotent."
Duncan expressed the doubts in his heart, and some of them had actually arisen before today. It was only after seeing Agou's change eleven years ago that he became more convinced of the doubts in his heart.
The fire eleven years ago might have been caused by solar debris, but there was definitely something else that played a role in the whole incident!
Shirley was still a little dazed. She was actually not very good at thinking about these complicated things. In her daze, she heard Agou's voice hurriedly ringing in her mind: "Shirley, are you okay? He just touched you."
Is your head releasing a curse? Are you still sane? ..."
"I'm fine," Shirley replied in her mind, a bit dumbfounded, "Agou, you are too nervous.
"Nonsense, how can I not be nervous? You have directly come into contact with a pollution source that can make ordinary people crazy instantly!" Agou's voice sounded panicked, "Then how do you feel?
Shirley thought for a while and touched the top of her head uncertainly.
In her memory, the last time someone stroked her hair like this and comforted her softly like a child was many, many years ago.
....warm.
She spoke softly in a daze.
Agou was immediately shocked: "Shirley, is there really something wrong with your mind?"
....Shut up!
Duncan didn't know what Agou and Shirley exchanged in this brief moment. He just looked thoughtfully at the window filled with dim red light and suddenly asked: "What's outside?"
Shirley was stunned: "Ah?'
Duncan raised his hand and pointed to the window: "What's outside the room?"
"...I don't know," Shirley blinked, suddenly realizing that in this nightmare that was constantly bothering her, an impossible option seemed to suddenly appear at this moment, "I have never considered this issue.
Every time I dream, I am trapped in this room....
"But now you broke away," Duncan walked to the door of the cabin, turned around and whispered softly, those words were like a temptation in the dark, throwing an unprecedented choice in front of Shirley and Agou, "Would you like to try it?
When you are awake...to see what the edge of your dream looks like?"
