After asking where the rescue point near the square was, Heidi covered her head and left, but Duncan didn't bother to deal with the "officials" over there - mainly because there was another Shirley next to him, and the girl who could summon ghostly demons obviously didn't want to deal with the Deep Sea Church.

Seeing Heidi's figure fade away, Duncan exhaled softly, and first turned to look at Nina: "Not hurt."

Right?

"No," Nina was still a little frightened, she had been subconsciously grabbing Duncan's sleeve, only then did she suddenly react and let go of her hand, and then looked at Duncan with some surprise, "You haven't said it yet, why are you in the museum?"

"I happened to be running errands nearby," Duncan said with a smile, "and then suddenly I heard the news of a fire in the museum.

I'll come and save you. ”

Then before the other party wanted to say anything, he reached out and rubbed the girl's hair, comforting Nina, who had just been frightened: "Okay, it's all over, it's okay if you're not hurt."

I'm not a kid anymore!" Nina shook her head, and then her eyes saw Shirley standing beside her, she just wanted to speak, but a strange look suddenly appeared on her face, as if she instantly recalled something disobedient, she looked the girl in front of her up and down, "Shirley...... Why do I suddenly feel ...... You're a little ......

Shirley's attention was still on Duncan a second ago, but when she saw Nina's reaction, her face suddenly showed a panic that was visible to the naked eye, her eyes widened slightly, and she glanced at Duncan again in a panic, and her expression was more afraid.

Duncan's heart moved as soon as he saw the change in the other party's expression, because this girl's expression was exactly the same as when he was caught evading fares on the bus before, he glanced at Nina thoughtfully, and then recalled a little about his dealings with Shirley and the identity she was playing now—

It is known that the two times I dealt with Shirley was when Nina was in school, and it is known that Shirley's real personality is extremely bad and rude, and she is not a "quiet good boy" at all......

And her current "identity" is Nina's new friend at school, and this identity is full of loopholes.

Duncan touched his chin, reached out to press Nina's shoulder, and pointed in the direction of Shirley with his chin, "Do you really know her?"

"Yes, her name is Shirley, and she's my new friend, but ......," Nina frowned, "but I don't know why."

What, I suddenly couldn't remember when she appeared at school just now Duncan turned his head and quietly looked at Shirley, who was already trying to reduce her presence, before he spoke softly:

You'll still have a chance to explain it yourself, or I'll .......

As soon as his words fell, Shirley crackled and jumped out: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I just wanted to investigate things, so I got into the school, but I really didn't hurt Nina, and I helped her block the fallen wood in the museum just now, you really believe me, I really don't know that this is your family, I don't know about the hobbies of a big man like you, please let me ......go."

Before Duncan could say the rest of the words, he was given a big string by this dog-picking girl with a crying voice

was stunned, his first reaction was that this woman was very talented, and she might be able to use it as a sparring partner for the goat's head.

Then he coughed lightly twice, interrupting Shirley's crackling: "It's not a dependent, this is my niece."

As he spoke, his eyes caught sight of Shirley's hands.

There were signs of being burned by the flames, and although only a faint scar was left under its amazing healing power, it looked as if she had indeed been injured in the museum.

If she didn't lie (and probably didn't dare), then she should really be trying to protect Nina.

Of course, Shirley didn't know what Duncan was thinking, she was almost in a state of brain emptying at this time: "You say it's a niece, that's a niece............

Nina only vaguely reacted at this time, she glanced at her uncle in surprise, and then looked at the "friend" in front of her

Friend": "Wait, you guys...... Do you know? And Shirley, why are you............

"By chance," Duncan said lightly, he didn't let Shirley speak, because he couldn't tell what this guy would reveal in front of Nina, "Looks like we have a lot to talk about, don't you say, Shirley?"

Shirley was about to cry, and she looked at Duncan with a sad face: "You said so......

"You said yes."

"Well, yes."

"Uncle, don't be so fierce to Shirley," Nina was still confused, but she could see that her new friend was very afraid of her uncle for some reason, and her uncle was not very polite to Shirley, which made her a little uneasy and confused at the same time, "My mind is messed up right now...... Can anyone explain to me what this is all about?"

"Let's go home and talk slowly," Duncan exhaled softly, glancing up at the smoke-emitting museum, and then turning his head to look in the direction he had come, "It's such a mess here, and you two are looking like you are now, you need to go back to take a shower and change your clothes." ”

Shirley stammered, "I'm ...... I'm going to follow too?"

Then she nodded vigorously to herself without waiting for Duncan to speak: "You're right!"

Duncan sighed a little crying, it seemed that no matter what Shirley wanted to do when she approached Nina, she would definitely be harmless next to Nina in the future, and then he shook his head and prepared to leave with the two girls.

At this moment, his gaze happened to sweep over the edge of Museum Square.

A figure standing near the crowd at the edge of the square suddenly caught his eye.

It was a figure in a black coat, with his back to this side, looking in the direction of the fire, judging from the back, it seemed to be a tall and thin man, his coat was somewhat like a long trench coat, and the long hem almost covered his whole body, and the strangest thing about this figure was that he was holding a large black umbrella on this sunny day.

In the weather where there was no wind or rain, and the sun was not too strong, a tall and thin man in a long trench coat stood with an umbrella

Looking at the fire at the edge of the square, this scene will look a little strange no matter where it is placed, but there is a gathering on the edge of the square

There were a lot of people, but none of them glanced in the direction of the man with the umbrella.

"Uncle?" Nina noticed Duncan stop abruptly and looked curiously in the direction the other was looking, "What's over there."

Isn't it?"

"There's a guy with an umbrella on a sunny day, it's weird. Duncan said casually.

"Someone with an umbrella on a sunny day?" Nina was stunned for a moment, "Where?" I didn't see it......"

"I didn't see it either," Shirley rubbed her eyes and looked curiously at Duncan's gaze, "Are you afraid?"

Isn't it a mistake......"

"You didn't see it?" Duncan frowned instantly, he glanced at Shirley and Nina, but after he turned his gaze back to the direction of the square in the next second, the figure with the umbrella had disappeared at some point.

"Uncle?" Nina looked at Duncan with some concern, "Did you just smoke a lot of smoke and now your body?"

Uncomfortable?" I'm fine, maybe I'm 'wrong'. In order not to worry Nina, Duncan just shook his head,

said indifferently.

But his gaze remained on the other side of the square, and he finally looked deeply at the other side before retracting his gaze

Eye.

If it's just a weirdo with an umbrella, then it's not a big deal.

But if it's a figure that only you can see, it's a different story.

He made a note of the figure.

Vanna arrives near the Maritime Museum with a team of elite guards, but by the time she arrives, the sudden fire has come to an end.

A grizzled Priest of the Deep Sea came to the Inquisitor with several Guardian warriors who had also just burst out of the fire.

"The fire subsided on its own suddenly," the Deepsea Priest said immediately after saluting Vanna, "but we found no trace of supernatural power at the scene. ”

"Fade on its own?" As soon as Vanna heard the pastor's report, her expression became serious,

You lead the team into the fire,

Did you find any clues?"

"There was widespread excessive panic and visual hallucinations and whispering among the citizens who fled from the scene, and I suspect the museum

There's transcendent pollution," the priest nodded, "but we searched around and found nothing............ The only anomaly was that the flames suddenly subsided on their own.

Speaking of this, the priest made another gesture of prayer to the goddess, adding: "But it is precisely because of the fire that it is extinguished

Retreat, and the Guardians and I can exit unharmed.

Fanna thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "Okay, after the fire is completely over, I will arrange for someone to search the museum thoroughly again to see if there are any signs of changes in the collections..................

After a brief command, the young inquisitor raised his head and swept his gaze over those who were receiving help and

To appease the guiding citizens, it seems that they are looking for something in the crowd.

And at this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far away: "Fanna! I'm here!"

Vanna looked up and saw a distraught Heidi waving at her in the crowd.
