In the incense-burning, godly prayer room, two longtime friends fell silent at the same time, only the blessing of the gods gently soothed the two frightened hearts, and the gentle sound of the waves echoed softly in Vanna's ears, the whisper of the storm goddess Grimna.

The goddess is still watching here, like never before.

It didn't take long for Heidi to calm down, and she cautiously broke the silence: "What is that competition I see?"

Vana hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Perhaps...... That's exactly what the solar heretics have been looking for.

"What the solar heretics have been looking for?" Heidi was stunned for a moment, "You mean ......."

"Sun Fragments," Vanna nodded lightly without waiting for Heidi to finish, "Perhaps only Sun Fragments."

Worthy of the power you see in your vision. ”

As she said this, Vanna slowly raised her head, stared at the icon of the Storm Goddess, and whispered thoughtfully, "After all...... The heretics claimed that the Sun Fragments were the remains of the so-called 'real Sun'

Heidi was stunned, and her expression suddenly changed slightly: "If that kind of thing really appeared in the real world, the city-state of Poland couldn't be as safe and sound as it is now......

"So that thing must be in some kind of seal," Vana nodded, "The intel says eleven years ago."

Fragments of the sun appeared in the city-state of Purland, but now it seems that the so-called appearance at that time should have only leaked some power.

For the past eleven years, it has been in a deep sleep......"

"And now those solar heretics want to wake that thing up?! Heidi looked horrified, "Are they trying to destroy the whole of Plant?!"

"It's not your first day dealing with cultists," Vanna glanced at Heidi, "you still don't know their mental state?" To those fanatical heretics, what would it matter if they could revive the Black Sun and sacrifice one or two city-states? they wouldn't even mind letting the whole world burn and turn it into firewood for the revival of the Sun God!"

Heidi kept her mouth open for a long time, but Vana calmed down before she slowly spoke: "The key question now is what happened to you when you saw that vision—what happened to you, what happened to you, what happened to the museum itself, and to understand all this, to understand in what state and where the fragment was sleeping."

“…………… No, I can't remember the details," Heidi tapped her forehead lightly, "but now I'm pretty sure I did see its projection while I'm in a coma, and I've given myself emergency hypnotic in order to preserve important clues...... Let me think about it, I was rescued and temporarily placed in a room on the first floor of the museum...... According to what they told me after they came out, the room was close to the main exhibition area..................

Heidi struggled to reminisce as she pondered, "Can't you conclude that the clue is in the museum?"

"It's difficult, judging from the occult, what you see is not the fragment itself, but a huge and transcendent existence in the real world, a little 'shadow', the museum is not necessarily a sleeping place of fragments, there is probably only a 'crack', and the human mind is weak in a coma, your consciousness will accidentally cross the crack, look

to the scene on the other side of the rift.

"This rift on the edge of reality is often not fixed, and it is likely to have been transferred somewhere else before, before in the museum."

Vanna patiently explained, then shook her head suddenly: "Of course, we will still conduct a high-level search of the museum and maintain monitoring after that, after all, anomalies and anomalies will always be unconventional, maybe the fragment will really remain in the museum in the form of some kind of sealing medium, and even if it doesn't, we may be able to find some clues in the fire to explain why the "rift" happened to be in the museum......

"But the subsequent search has nothing to do with you. For safety reasons, it's best not to go near the museum for the next month.

"Of course, I'd like to keep my distance from this," Heidi nodded immediately, "and I've had bad luck."

Enough is enough!

Vanna silently looked at her friend, who had been unlucky since childhood, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, she just was silent under the statue of the goddess, and after being silent for half a minute, she suddenly spoke: "Who saved you?"

"Two girls who are still in school, and a man who looks to be in his forties," Heidi thought for a moment, "and it so happens that one of those two girls happened to be a student of my father's visit the other day, and the man was her uncle...... Did I mention it to you? His name was Duncan Strain and he was an antique store manager.

“…… I'm a little allergic when I hear the name 'Duncan' now,

The corners of Vanna's mouth twitched visibly

under

Below, "though knowing that it is certainly not a ............ alone"

"The first time I heard this name from my father's mouth, I reacted the same way as you," Heidi said, spreading her hands, "and I promised that the gentleman would go to his house tomorrow afternoon to have a psychological evaluation for his niece, and just in time to come to the door to give a formal thank-you...... Everything was a mess today, and I said goodbye in a hurry, which was really a bit unruly. ”

"Strictly speaking, it's not just the 'niece' who needs to be evaluated," Vanna's expression suddenly became solemn, staring straight at Heidi, "those three people do."

"Why......" Heidi subconsciously said, but then reacted, "Ahhhhhhh

"That's right, they were all around you at the time, and you saw the sun fragments in your coma," Vana looked into Heidi's eyes, "If it's the remains of some old god, the contamination may have reached them in your consciousness." The scale of this spreading pollution may be small, but it can be fatal to ordinary people.

Heidi was dumbfounded.

In the antique shop in Downtown, Duncan had closed early and was sitting in a relaxed position on a chair behind the counter, while Nina and Shirley sat opposite him.

The two of them took a shower in the upstairs bathroom, Nina had changed into new clothes, and Shirley was still wearing hers

Black dress - it's not that Nina is reluctant to lend her clothes to each other, but the difference between the two figures is really a bit big

Shirley voluntarily rejected the oversized clothes on her.

Of course, it is unknown whether this guy had other concerns when he refused...... Maybe she thought that taking Nina's clothes was equivalent to receiving a gift from the evil god's family? Only she knows that.

On the other side of the counter is the pigeon Aye, who is pacing leisurely.

Behind the cargo was a pile of chips on the table—the ones Duncan had promised it.

Ay gets the fries she has been dreaming of, Nina returns home safe and sound, and Duncan rescues his niece and becomes more familiar with the power of the flames.

Everyone was happy.

Except Shirley.

She was almost crying - she wanted to cry several times today.

"So...... Shirley, you're not really my classmate...... You're just using some kind of ......... 'detective technique' to sneak into the school and investigate something," Nina looked at her hard-earned friend with a somewhat complicated expression, You don't like steam and machines...

"I can't even read those textbooks...... Shirley said cautiously, she replied to Nina's words, but her eyes looked at Duncan from time to time, "I'm sorry, I'm ......... I'm sorry.

Nina didn't seem to notice Shirley's apology, she just frowned in confusion: "But what the hell are you."

How? I............ In retrospect, you always appeared out of nowhere in my classroom, and then often around me

The side haunts, but you never go to class normally, and even the nearby teachers and classmates don't seem to notice you, you

Shirley quickly glanced at Duncan again, and after confirming that the other party's expression was still calm, she muttered in a low voice: "Actually, it's a little bit of extraordinary skill......

"Extraordinary?" Nina's eyes widened in surprise, "Are you an investigator of the church?"

"No, no, I'm not from the church, I ......" Shirley glanced at Duncan again, she recalled the precautions that the big guy left alone when Nina went upstairs to take a shower, although she still didn't understand why the big guy was playing a game of "playing human" in this antique shop, but she still honestly obeyed the big guy's instructions, "I'm wild...... Wild Transcendents ............"

Nina looked surprised: "...... · The transcendent and the wild?!

"It's not registered, isn't it wild," said Shirley, who seemed to have given up on something entirely, with a certain self-defeating air of self-abandonment, "the church dogs...... That's what troublesome people usually call us people?"

Nina listened to Shirley's explanation in a daze, and then looked the other party up and down several times, this up and down scrutinizing gaze made the latter uncomfortable, Shirley subconsciously dodged: "Why do you think of me like this......"

"Then you're so good!" Nina suddenly said in earnest.

Shirley was suddenly a little stunned: "...... That's what you do?"
