Chapter 119: "A Pair of Friends"
From judging that there may be a supernatural force in the museum that is out of control, to completing the self-blessing and leading the team into the fire, these belongings
It only took a dozen seconds for the Storm Believers under the name of the Deep Sea Church.
Duncan watched as the men rushed to the fire, and then the firefighters in the square began to cooperate with each other, using fire water cannons as cover, and began to cool down the entrance to the museum and open the passage, while another team quickly counted the ranks, and this team also rushed into the museum with the emblem of the Deep Sea Church and something like an amulet hanging on top of the regular protective equipment.
The sheriffs who remained at the edge of the square took over the pacification and guidance of the remaining citizens, and began to contact the neighborhood
of churches receive fire survivors who have been flagged and suspected to be mentally contaminated.
Well-trained and well-coordinated, it has not only been drilled countless times, but also like countless actual battles.
This is what it is like for a city-state that has survived to this day in this strange world of transcendental phenomena to thrive – quickly discerning the shadow of the transcendent in the midst of a catastrophe, quickly suppressing it to a level that mortals can withstand before the outbreak of erosion, and the transcendent and ordinary people alike are fully educated and trained in the relevant fields, and these basic measures of disposition are trained to the point of near-muscular response – before the group can be sustained.
Duncan saw it all, but didn't have much time to sigh - he examined the grizzled survivors at the edge of the square, and found no Nina in them.
He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the museum.
From the roaring museum, there was something familiar.
He walked towards the museum, but as soon as he took two steps, he was stopped by a sheriff: "Sir, there is danger ahead, please leave it to the professionals."
Duncan glanced at the sheriff, nodded, and walked away.
Duncan was a pragmatic man, so he neatly abandoned the main entrance of the museum, walked around to the other side of the square, and then hid in the shadows—the next second, a white dove flew directly across the square and plunged headlong into a window on the side of the museum that was emitting fire.
Someone in the square saw this scene, but they only thought that it was a poor man who was frightened and stunned by the smoke and fire
The pigeon, with a few sighs, stopped paying attention.
Inside the museum, Duncan stepped out of the whirlpool of green flames.
Smoke, fire, and heat rushed in.
Duncan was not afraid of these things, but he could feel that the functions of his flesh and blood body were being affected by the fire environment, and if he walked in like this, his soul might be fine, and this body would definitely not be usable.
But he wasn't reckless, he knew what to do long before he rushed in.
There are flames everywhere here, and the flames ...... It's a very obedient thing.
Duncan held his breath as a stream of faint green flames crept beneath his feet, then dissipated into nothingness in the blink of an eye, and in this brief contact, he had established an invisible connection with the flames around him—just like the Suncultist assembly hall in the basement of the abandoned factory, he felt the surrender of the flames around him.
Even the scorching currents in the air began to change, no longer affecting the body's breathing.
Duncan took a soft breath and walked to the door that had been sealed by the flames.
"Stand down."
The flames receded, and faded behind him, revealing a corridor of smoke and embers
Duncan glanced back, looked at the signs on the nearby walls, and judged that the place where he had "landed" was an office at the edge of the main exhibition area, and that the corridor in front of it was supposed to be a passage for museum staff, with the main exhibition area at the end of the passage and stairs or elevators leading to the other floors on one side.
He strode into the hallway, searching forward as he concentrated his mind trying to find Nina's place in the museum - but to be honest, he wasn't sure if he would be able to "locate" them.
Because this is the first time he's done something like this...... Although his current perception is beyond ordinary people, and Goathead has also said that "the captain's intuition is the most accurate point", this kind of high-end operation of perceiving someone's breath from afar is still quite unfamiliar to him, and even a skill that he has only seen in stories.
He tried it now because for a moment when he was in the square, he vaguely sensed a hint of familiarity in the museum, which made him want to give it a try.
Duncan walked down the hallway, the flames around him retreating and extinguishing, and he still didn't feel it
Nina was somewhere, but suddenly, he sensed something else.
"Huh?"
Duncan muttered in confusion, his gaze in the direction from which his perception had come from—not far ahead, on the floor below the stairs, an "imprint" that had become clearer and clearer in his perception was pulsating slightly. The owner of the sigil seems to be in a state of being alive and kicking.
Duncan hesitated for only a moment, then ran quickly in the direction of his perception, he ran through the retreating and extinguishing flames, ran down the staircase that had begun to be fragile and loose, and at the same time extended his control of the flames as much as possible, suppressing the fire of the entire building within the limits of what the body could bear, and the "mark" became more and more vivid in his mind, and finally, he even began to faintly hear the "sound" from the mark
Hands? Hey, it's all a small injury on my hand, and it's fine to look back for three or two days......
"That's because I've always had a lot of strength.........
"Don't worry, the crack in the door is blocked, and the smoke can't come in for the time being...... You're so smart that you know there's a water room here • Eh, you read the road map in advance? Did the teacher talk about it in class? Safety Education ...... Forehead............ I may not have listened carefully, ahaha......
"You said you just saw a dog? You're mistaken, where did the dog come from in this place, ahaha......"
What should I do with this dizzy person here? You don't know either? All right...... At least alive...... It's okay, let's
We'll be able to be saved............"
"You're scared?" Shirley asked in a whisper.
"I'm afraid of fire...... "Nina hugged her legs hard, feeling her voice tremble a little, "I'm very afraid of fire."
Actually, I'm quite scared,
Shirley was silent for two seconds, "Well, I'm the most scared - I'm the most afraid of fire."
"I can't see it at all," Nina shook her head, "you just went on a rampage." ”
"Because I'm afraid, I'm on a rampage," Shirley sat down with a big grin, "because I'm so scared, I'm sure I'll never dare to rush up again once I stop...... But now it's okay, we're both trapped here, and there's nowhere to run, so we're just waiting like two stupid X's. ”
Nina touched Shirley's arm in the dark and suddenly noticed that the other party was also shaking. The other party was really scared.
"You swear," Nina whispered, "I thought ...... You are a very well-bred and good student. "It's all about time, don't pretend, I'm like this," Shirley said, her blackened face tinged with Chan
Rotten smile, "and............ Never mind. ”
She seemed to want to say something to Nina, but finally swallowed it back, and then she glanced back at the door and asked, "Hurry up and analyze it with your good brain, how long can we live here?"
Nina glanced up, "I'...... I don't know, but as long as I can block the smoke, it's safe for the time being, this room is very solid, and at the corner of the stairs, it shouldn't collapse for a while. ”
Shirley let out a casual sigh, and then she hesitated for a moment before she slowly spoke again: "By the way, I said yes, I said if, I want to have a way to take us out, but the way may be more scary, you ...... Would you like to try it?"
"How?" Nina looked at each other in confusion, "What's the solution?"
"That's it......" Shirley stood up, but suddenly sat back down, "Ah, forget it, just wait, not yet."
When the time comes, what if the time comes......
Nina: "......?"
