At that moment, a strange and chaotic perception suddenly mixed into Duncan's consciousness. Just like the previous "walking in the spirit world", he felt that his "perspective" suddenly split into two, and a brand new one
The body has become a new "end" for him to perceive the world, but... it feels different from the past.
The new "perspective" was filled with restless light flow like interference, and the alternating light and shadow filled the water like some kind of scanning line. He saw the "primitive land" shrouded in darkness in the distance, and also saw
There were countless human-shaped objects floating around the land, and at the same time he saw the inconspicuous submersible - it was hovering diagonally above the floating island in the deep sea, maintaining a forward angle, with a pale light extending from its front end.
Go out and disperse little by little in the sea water.
All of these are surrounded by uncertain lights and shadows. Even in places where the submersible's searchlight cannot reach, he can "see" glimmers of light and outlines - this is a brand new perspective.
Outside the porthole, in the deep sea, the body that suddenly started to move slowly raised its arms and touched its head without facial features.
Of course, Duncan did not touch his eyes - the body he just occupied did not have such an organ. In fact, this body did not even have formed arms and legs. The ends of the bare limbs touched the flat and smooth face, and there was a sound of
It's a strange, rough and dull feeling.
But suddenly, Duncan had a feeling... He followed this feeling to control his new body, stretched out his two arms and pressed hard on the "face" of this body.
The face, as black as mud and with a flat surface, began to squirm, and within a few seconds, the front of the face differentiated, forming two eyes.
The vision suddenly became much clearer.
Duncan controlled this "rough" body with some unfamiliarity, slowly swam to the submersible, and looked inside with his newly grown eyes.
He and himself looked at each other, this feeling was new and strange.
Agatha in the submersible couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah!"
Then she reacted and suddenly turned to look at Duncan who was standing in front of the console: "You... really scared me."
"You should learn to adapt," Duncan said without looking back while paying attention to the condition of the machine in the submersible. "People around me are always a little fussy."
However, Agatha's fear had not subsided, and she still looked tense all over. Her "eyes" quickly scanned between Duncan and the "human figure" outside the cabin several times, and there was only one thought in her mind -
There is indeed a reason why the world is so afraid of Captain Duncan. His understatement is too evil and terrifying in this endless deep sea.
But after hesitating for a long time, she still didn't dare to say what was in her mind. She could only change the topic abruptly: "...What are you going to do next?"
"This temporary body can see in the dark. I want to continue to check the situation ahead," Duncan said casually, and at the same time began to pull a series of levers and cranks on the control panel. With his movements, the submersible's machinery
A hard noise approaching the limit came from the cabin again, "As for this side... we need to float up a certain distance. This machine can't hold it anymore. It can't stay at the extreme depth forever."
Amidst the low roar of the difficult drainage of the pressurized water tank, the submersible began to slowly rise, but Agatha still couldn't help but look out the porthole, looking at the "human figure" that was fading away in the light.
A faint wisp of fire suddenly emerged from the sea water. The body carrying Captain Duncan's will waved his hand towards this side, then turned around, and gradually sank into the depths of darkness along with the floating spiritual flame.
Cold, dark, lonely, silent.
Duncan's consciousness gradually adapted to this strange temporary body. He controlled the body to turn around, swim, and move forward in the darkness, constantly approaching the "Frost Island" floating in the deep sea.
The light of the submersible has gone away, and darkness once again dominates the deep sea. However, the green spiritual flame slowly spreads in the sea water. This weak firelight, coupled with the strange perception of the body itself, makes Duncan always
Able to distinguish the environment around you and the direction you are heading.
Around him, countless humanoid objects floated in the cold water.
Like an extremely bizarre gathering, the rough bodies of "people" gathered in all directions, far or near, stagnant and blind, and undulating slightly with the current, and the only one with eyes was walking through this silent and strange "crowd"
"middle.
Duncan tried his best not to come into contact with the "humanoids" floating near him, but he still inevitably passed them at a very close distance.
Whenever he passes by them, he can't help but have some weird and terrifying associations - as if there are countless pairs of eyes here, countless souls waiting to wake up, curiously looking at his uninvited guest, and even reaching out to him at any time.
But in the end nothing happened.
Those silent human figures are just silent, they are heartless and soulless, like empty dolls made of mud.
Duncan passed through these empty shells and came to a cliff on the edge of the "deep sea floating island".
He stopped and looked at the terrain in front of him.
This should be the southeast coast of "Frost", in the world above the sea. There are ports, warehouses and customs offices near this coast. There is a beautiful little church standing on the sea cliff. The path leading to the church is lined with cold-resistant plants.
trees, evergreen in winter.
However, here, there are only bare stones on the rugged coast, glowing with a strange dark color, like crude models that have not been painted.
Duncan raised his head and looked toward the center of the floating island in the deep sea.
In the intertwining darkness and dim light, he could vaguely see some kind of huge structure there, like a mountain peak or a giant pillar that ran through the island.
He thought of the scene shown to him when he communicated with Martha before -
Countless minds that fell into the sea glanced at the dark abyss on the eve of dissipation. The common impression they gathered in their panic was that of a huge pillar, penetrating a huge entity floating in the deep sea.
It now seems that the huge entity presented in that illusion is the "original blueprint" of Frost in front of us now. So what about the giant pillar that runs through the island? Is it the Deep Holy Lord who "invaded" the real world? Or...
The so-called fake?
Duncan thought for a while, got up and swam towards the "pillar", but he stopped again after swimming a short distance, feeling a little distressed in his heart.
It's too far, it's a distance that requires crossing half of the city-state.
It's impossible to reach a mountain and run to death - let alone in this deep sea where it's difficult to move.
Even if this body is not affected by the heavy pressure of the deep sea, it is really a time-consuming and labor-intensive task to swim all the way across.
Duncan thought about it, and an idea gradually came to his mind.
Then he hesitated for a few seconds, then slowly raised an arm in the sea water with the intention of giving it a try, and waved it slightly.
The green flames spread with his movements, and gathered into a rotating door in the blink of an eye. After the door opened, a skeleton bird covered in blazing flames rushed out from inside, and surrounded Duncan and shouted loudly:
"Who is calling the fleet! Transmission successful! Transmission successful! Open the door and deliver the express!"
Duncan's eyes widened in shock.
Ai flapped its wings beside him. In the deep sea under the weight of billions of tons of sea water, it was still as easy and agile as flying in the sky, and its unique, sharp female voice, which sounded like some kind of modified synthesized voice.
It is as noisy as ever, and it is so clear that it seems to be able to penetrate directly into people's brains.
The deep sea environment seems to not exist for Aiyi!
Duncan originally just wanted to try it out and wanted to summon Ai to see if it could be used for anything. After all, the pigeon's "teleportation" ability has shown incredible effectiveness many times, but after all, this place is completely different from the surface.
Different deep seas, he was ready to teleport Ai back to the ship instantly if he could not adapt to the environment, but what happened in front of him... was completely beyond his expectation.
He just stared dumbfoundedly at the pigeon flying around him like it was flying in the air, whirring, and watching it shuttle through the sea like a projection unaffected by the environment. He was stunned for a long time.
Reach out and intercept the bird.
Ai sat on Duncan's arm obediently and tilted his head curiously: "What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Duncan was about to speak, but suddenly realized that his body seemed to have no mouth, and even if it had a mouth, he didn't know how to speak directly in the deep sea, so he concentrated on trying to convey his thoughts to
This dove spirit——
"This is the deep sea, do you feel any discomfort?"
He stared into Ai's eyes, guessing whether the other party could understand what he meant, and looking forward to its answer.
Ai tilted his head again.
"GG, come surfing too!" The bird suddenly flapped its wings excitedly, and dots of green firelight scattered from its bone wings, "Tianyi 3G, too fast, Tianyi 3G, too fast!"
Duncan's eyes changed slightly. He listened thoughtfully to the pigeon spirit's chatter and did not speak for a long time.
Until Ai Yi gradually calmed down and curiously pecked his arm: "The application is not responding?"
Only then did Duncan wake up from his thoughts, and his thoughts quickly returned to the matter at hand.
There's still business to be done.
He raised his head, looked at the distant and chaotic darkness in the distance, concentrated his energy again, and tried to pass his orders to the pigeon spirit beside him——
"Take me to that place."
"Command received! Command received!" Ai Yi reacted quickly. Just like usual, it flapped its wings excitedly, causing raging flames to rise around it. "The mission will be accomplished!"
(When recommending a book, a book with a very cursory title from the beginning is called "The Great Han Zhongliang Cao Mengde". I thought that I had to take a look at this title alone. The following is the author's own recommended introduction:
Cao Cao swore that he would fulfill Xuande's last wish. It doesn't matter if Zhuge Liang doesn't do it. After all, he is a prime minister and I am a prime minister. Instead of this, even if he, a great man, is loyal and good, he will do his last for the great man.)
