Chapter 120: Rescue
Time seemed to suddenly slow down, slowly, and in the darkness and the approaching heat, Nina felt her mind spin uncontrollably—
She seems to recall her childhood, the time she ran up and down the antique shop with her uncle to "help", but made a mess of everything, recalled the stories behind the "antiques" that her uncle explained to her, and in the end it was all made up, recalling the first time she went to school, the first time she saw a steam mechanism in a textbook, the first time she received praise from a teacher, the first time she made friends...... Lost a friend for the first time.
Her mind felt a mess, and her consciousness grew more and more confused.
Little by little, the smoke had begun to seep into the room, affecting the breath and affecting the thoughts.
And those disturbing memories all turned into the appearance of being engulfed in flames in the end.
A fire...... A fire, which existed only in her memory, seemed to be burning again in front of her eyes.
Nina stared at the ground not far away, as if the ground would suddenly burst into flames in the next second, but at that moment, she suddenly felt a cold hand against her forehead.
"Are you alright?" Shirley looked at her "friend" a little worriedly, "Suddenly her eyes froze...
He was still muttering something in a low voice. "I...... I'm fine," Nina quickly shook her head and grabbed Shirley's arm, "Thank you...... Just suddenly
I think of my family. "Family......" Shirley was stunned for a moment when she heard these words, and then seemed to say casually/P)
Who do you have in your family?"
"There is only one uncle...... My parents were gone many years ago, and I grew up with my uncle," Nina thought for a moment, slowly burying her head in her knees, "I promised him an early ...... today"
"You...... You should have a good relationship with your uncle, right?" Shirley seemed a little uncomfortable with this kind of topic, and as if she didn't know how to comfort her friend, she said as if she had nothing to say, "What does he do?"
"He's just an ordinary person, our family has an antique shop in Xiacheng, and he takes .........care of it alone," Nina said slowly, waving her hand after noticing Shirley's surprised expression, "It's not the kind of powerful antique store you think, there are no real things."
"That sounds amazing, too!" Shirley hurriedly complimented, "Store manager! I have my own shop, where
I'm afraid it's in the lower city............ Then your family should have a good life, right?"
"Actually, it's very ordinary," Nina continued to wave her hand, "Uncle wasn't in very good health a few years ago, plus he was born in the store
I didn't think much of it, I didn't save any money...... But I think my uncle is really good, he can even talk to Mr. Morris for a long, long time! He knew a lot, and Mr. Morris said he was a very knowledgeable man......"
After listening to Nina's story, Shirley nodded her head pretending to be serious: "Then I must get to know your uncle when we go out..................
Nina laughed, and she was about to open her mouth to say something, when suddenly she heard a loud bang coming from the direction of the doorway
-In the next second, the door of the water house, which was not very strong, was kicked open from the outside and fell down with a bang
Come!
The moment she saw this scene, Nina's first reaction was that the fire in the corridor outside must have exploded and swept in because the door was broken, which was what she had learned in school, but the next second, she only saw a familiar figure walking into the door - the expected flame did not appear.
Shirley was also startled by the loud knock on the door, and she looked back in shock, her whole body stiffened the moment she saw the figure in the doorway.
She saw the shadow avatar of the subspace standing silently in the doorway, and in the corner of her eye, the last of the flames were crawling and retreating at the figure's feet, and she got up in dismay, wanting to back away with a hint of fear—for a hundredth of a second, she even considered whether to give Nina away, her new "friend", but before she could do anything, Nina was already standing up behind her.
"Uncle Duncan?!" Nina looked at the figure that appeared at the door in surprise, and in this moment, it seemed that all the fear and depression disappeared with the appearance of the figure.
"Nina?" Duncan also looked at the girl with some surprise - he actually found this place by following the "mark" left on Shirley's body, and he planned to find Shirley as a helper and then continue to search the rest of the museum together, but he didn't expect to see Nina directly here.
The next second, his eyes fell on Shirley.
To put it this way...... What I heard through the "imprint" before, the person who talked to Shirley was Nina... · The "classmate" Nina said before that she wanted to go with her was Shirley?!
Duncan understood a quick turn in his mind, and then he noticed the rapidly changing look on Shirley's face, and before the summoner who had a lot of "fate" with him could speak, he took a step forward and looked around: "Looks like you're all right."
The next second, he noticed that there was a third person in the room: a young lady in a long dress who was faint
Fell to the ground, but appeared to be alive.
Shirley finally regained her ability to think at this time, and she suddenly recalled the words that Nina had just said to herself, and after a while, her neck stiffened and slowly turned her head, with a ghostly look on her face: "Nina......... He is...... Your uncle?"
"That's right!" Nina said happily, and then pounced on Duncan in a few steps, "Uncle, why are you here?!" The fire outside has been extinguished?!"
"Not yet, but the fire is under control." Duncan said casually, knowing that the vague statement would have seemed suspicious under normal circumstances, but now that Nina was clearly in a state of confusion, the frightened girl just grabbed him by the arm and muttered, "Great, I thought I was going to ...... today."
"Okay, let's talk about it later, this is not the place to talk," Duncan interrupted Nina, and then his gaze swept over Shirley and the lady who had fallen to the ground, "We need to take this lady with us." ”
"Ahh … Good!" Nina reacted and hurried over to pick up the lady, and Shirley immediately ran to help—but it wasn't easy for them due to the height gap, so Duncan took a few steps forward and prepared to do it himself.
It was an amethyst pendant that looked somewhat familiar.
Duncan was stunned, and slowly recalled the previous visit to Mr. Morris's home, and some of the things revealed in the other party's conversation.
"Uncle?" Nina's voice came from the side, interrupting Duncan's thoughts.
Duncan shook his head slightly, glanced at Nina, and his gaze seemed to be casually sweeping over Shirley on the side, smiling slightly: "The world is so small.
With that, he picked up the lady and carried her on his back with the help of the two girls.
The group left the water room, the flames were no longer visible in the corridor outside the water room, and even the smoke had dissipated most of them due to "unknown reasons", Shirley looked at the dark passage in front of her, and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Which direction to go."
?“
Duncan raised his head and was just about to point the way, but suddenly he sensed something through the "power of fire" that had permeated the museum before, and with a thought, he changed his original direction and walked briskly towards the other exit next to him: towards this side. ”
Under the active retreat and guidance of the flames, they quickly left the place, and shortly after they left, a group of figures suddenly bypassed the corner of the corridor in front of them and appeared near the water room.
It was the same team of Guardians of the Deep Sea Church that had rushed into the fire before.
The team was disgraced, but the blessings of the sea had not yet dissipated from all of them—they were already holding on to death
rushed in, but was unharmed by the sudden and rapid subsidence of the fire in the museum.
"The fire here has also been extinguished...... The priest leading the group frowned slightly, muttering as he surveyed his surroundings, "Even the smoke has dissipated." ”
"It's a good thing that the fire is out." One of the guards whispered.
"It's a good thing, but a fire of this magnitude doesn't go out so easily. The priest whispered, and suddenly, he noticed the violently destroyed door of the water room next to him.
"Someone has been here......" One of the guards immediately stepped forward to check, after confirming the traces near the gate
He skillfully removed the incense burner and prayer book, and placed a special set of lenses on his head.
The lens set appeared to be a half of a helmet made of copper tubes, cranks, and a series of lenses, some of which had intricate runes etched into the edges of the lenses.
The guardian placed an incense burner on the ground, then adjusted the lens set on his head and began to look around
All the remaining clues.
"There is no supernatural power left behind...... It was a few ordinary people, the exact number of whom could not be determined, and the breath was chaotic," the guardian reported quickly, "it should be the tourists who were trapped before...... The door was broken inside, and it looked like someone was breaking down the door and saving people. ”
Will you think there is no supernatural power?"
"Nope."
Keep searching upwards,"
"Yes"!
