Chapter 106: Duncan's Gift

The illusory waters dissipated like a dream at dawn, and Vanna's spirit returned to her physical body, and after a deep breath, she suddenly opened her eyes to see that she was still standing in the rocky chamber that looked like a cavern under the sea, a canopy of flames burning before her.

She looked to the side and saw that Bishop Valentine was also opening his eyes.

The memories of the psionic meeting were still vividly imprinted in her mind, and Vana subconsciously looked into her palmβ€”of course, her hand was empty, and the piece of parchment that only existed in the assembly hall had not been brought to the real world by her.

"We've just sent out a notice that the 'puppet coffins' are out of control for the ocean captains," Bishop Valentine sighed, "and now it looks like it's time to reissue the notice again." ”

Vanna flicked her wrist and looked thoughtfully at the bishop, "The question is...... How should I write a notice? We don't know anything other than the name change of Anomaly 099......"

The old bishop did not speak for a moment, apparently as he thought it was a rather difficult question.

Vanna brought back the news from Vision 004, but it was only the new name of Anomaly 099, and perhaps she had heard more and more detailed information from the tomb owner, and even heard about the new traits of Anomaly 099 after it was renamed "Puppet", but it was clear that this part had been left in the main burial chamber forever along with the torn parchment.

"At this stage, we can only announce the change of Anomaly 099 from 'Puppet Coffin' to 'Puppet', and at the same time revise all the characteristics of Anomaly 099 to 'There may be mutations'," Valentine said suddenly after a long silence, "It is an anomaly within a hundred, and the change of its name will definitely be accompanied by a series of chain reactions, and its power, trigger conditions, sealing conditions, and even external characteristics are very likely to have changed, and then according to the old information, it is likely that ......something big will happen."

Vanna nodded silently.

The designation of Anomaly 099 has not changed, and its absolute danger and weirdness may not have changed much, but for humans, it has gone from a known anomaly to an unknown anomaly - the experience that once took countless lives has come to naught, and the "unknown" ...... It has become its greatest danger today.

If after the last announcement, it is possible for the captains of the Infinite Seas to try to re-contain and seal the "puppet coffin" after encountering Anomaly 099 according to the experience of the old data, then starting today...... The only option for everyone after encountering the "puppet" is to stay away immediately, and hope that the guardians of the four Orthodox churches will reseal it.

The secret room was quiet for a while, and Vanna and Valentine were thinking about their own affairs, and the atmosphere lasted for an unknown amount of time before Vanna suddenly broke the silence: "...... All anomalies and anomalies in the world are numbered from Vision 004, right? ”

"Of course," Valentine nodded, "why would you suddenly ask this?" ”

"I'm thinking...... The nameless corpses in that mausoleum, and the always silent grave keeper, who ...... they," Fanna pondered, "they are clearly not humans, not even real-world beings, not gods, not shadows of the ancient gods in the subspace...... Why would a vision that interacts with the outside world 'help' the world in this way? And how did the owner of the mausoleum determine the list of anomalies and anomalies? ”

Valentine looked into Vanna's eyes, and waited for the other party to finish all the questions in one breath before he sighed: "This is the first time you have entered the interior of the tomb as a listener, and most people will have the same problems as you after leaving from there...... Sadly, after all these years, we know more and more about anomalies and anomalies, but the essence of anomaly 004 has never been reached, the mausoleum...... Never explain information about yourself. ”

"I remember you also entered that mausoleum," Vana said, turning her head and looking at the old bishop curiously, "what kind of information did you bring with you?" Is it related to anomalies or anomalies? ”

"Not really," Valentine shook his head, "and while most of the time the mausoleum is revealed to be related to anomalies or anomalies, the owner of the mausoleum occasionally conveys something else, sometimes even ...... Strange and even useless information, when receiving the summons of the tomb keeper, no one can be sure what the owner of the mausoleum wants to convey, the only thing that can be sure is that the information from the tomb must be true......"

Vanna still looked at the old bishop curiously: "Then what kind ......of information did you bring out at that time?" ”

The old bishop looked a little entangled: "It's not very useful, just ...... In a word......"

The old bishop's evasive intention was obvious, but Vana was a persistent person, and she didn't notice the old man's attitude: "So what about the specifics? ”

Valentine glanced at the dead-eyed inquisitor helplessly, and spread his hands: "On the twenty-fourth of July, the weather in Poland is fine, and the southeast wind is four to six ......"

Vanna: "......? ”

"Don't look at me like that, sometimes it's like this," Valentine covered his forehead, "Anomalies and anomalies are unpredictable, and this 'unpredictability' will manifest itself in all kinds of places, and I just caught up with the more special ...... If you want to laugh, can you turn around? I'm so old......"

"I'm sorry," Vana said, grimacing, and then turning her back, "but to be honest, I'm a little envious, and it's better to hear a weather forecast than to have a weird experience like todayβ€”it's good that nothing happens, isn't it?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hey, I'll just believe what you say......"

……

On the edge of Uptown, in the courtyard of an older single-family house, Heidi looked at her father with a slightly cramped expression expressionlessly: "...... So, you went to the student's home two days ago, and spent hours chatting with the student's parents, and you took out a total of 20 minutes to talk about the student's situation, and when you left, you took out more than 3,000 solas to buy an old dagger and a fake crystal pendant made of glass?! ”

Morris sat behind the desk, on which there was an amethyst pendant (the label had been removed), and the shelves behind him were full of various collectibles, he wiped the cold sweat that did not exist on his forehead, and his expression was a little embarrassed: "The pendant didn't cost money, it's a giveaway......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Isn't it more of a problem that you take it as a birthday present for me?! Heidi couldn't help but clutch her head, "You can even pretend that this is carefully chosen......"

Morris thought about it seriously and spread his hands helplessly: "I really can't find a second real thing in that store, there's really nothing to pick......"

Heidi: "......"

After confronting each other for a few more seconds, she finally didn't hold back, and she deflated first: "Forget it, it's not the first time anyway...... Why do you always be the culprit? ”

"I didn't suffer this time! It is Mr. Duncan who suffers," said Morris at once, "and I will buy that dagger for twenty percent less than the market price......

Heidi was shaking her head and sighing, but when she suddenly heard her father's name, she was stunned for a moment: "The manager of that antique store is called Duncan?" ”

"Ah, yes, his name is Duncan Straine," Morris said casually, "It has always been rumored that he is an alcoholic + gambler, but after actual contact, I found out that it was really a rumor, and it was obviously a humorous and knowledgeable person...... Well? Why do you have this expression? Is there anything wrong with the name? ”

Heidi opened her mouth and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alas, I've been in contact with a very tricky 'case' recently, which happens to be related to this name, and I'm a little nervous when I hear it. ”

"It's a very common name, and there are many people with the same name and surname," Morris nodded, but then he was a little concerned, "What kind of case is it?" ”

"It's not your specialty, don't ask, it can't be the same person anyway," Heidi waved her hand, "Can a terrifying ghost captain and a store manager who runs an antique shop in Downtown be the same person?" ”

"That must not be," Morris breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he knew that his daughter often assisted the town hall and even the church in dealing with some dangerous cases as an advisor, and sometimes even related to the transcendent, so he was naturally a little nervous in this regard, but now he relaxed and fell on the crystal pendant on the table, "Then you still want to ...... this pendant"

"Yes! Absolutely! Heidi grabbed the pendant on the table, "Finally you can remember to bring me a gift, even if it's a giveaway......"

Morris thought for a moment and made a serious suggestion: "...... Actually, you can pretend that I bought you a pendant for more than three thousand solas, and that dagger is a giveaway. ”

Heidi put the pendant around her neck and glanced at Maurice: "If you really spend more than 3,000 solas to pull this, I will have to tie you to my treatment room!" ”
