There are some words that are destined not to be discussed in front of Nina.

Listening to the scene described by Ah Gou, Duncan's heart jumped.

There are ashes floating around the dis...... Lots of ashes......... What this means

In that factory shrouded in a veil, there are ashes everywhere that have been hidden, and the ashes are traces of the flames that have burned, and they are proof that the fire has existed, symbolizing what has been destroyed, so the ashes around Nina...

He looked up at the staircase that led to the second floor.

Nina is busy in the kitchen on the second floor, from here you can faintly hear the sound of her cooking, the sound of kitchen utensils colliding seems very brisk, that optimistic girl has been through a lot today, but still maintains a good mood at the moment.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Shirley, who was sitting across from him.

"So, after Ah Dog tells you that he has found a very suspicious target, you find a way to infiltrate the school and try to find clues around Nina, while at the same time, you also start to approach the Suncultists who are operating in the city and try to find clues in them to unravel the secret of the fire eleven years ago........."

Shirley nodded slightly:

"Yes."

"I'm guessing you're not looking for a fragment of the sun, right?"

What's the point of finding the sun shards?" Shirley asked rhetorically, "Go find a flame and ask why it burns, I'm looking for it...... It was the one who set the fire back then.

"This is no ordinary fire," Duncan looked silently into Shirley's eyes, "if that's really a fragment of the sun...... It's more powerful than burning down a factory. Shirley, you're doing a very, very dangerous thing. ”

"I'll be honest don't be angry, Shirley thought for a moment and honestly lowered her head, "I feel like sitting in front of you."

It's dangerous enough......"

Haha, probably," Duncan was slightly stunned and couldn't help laughing, before he got up from behind the counter and slowly walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor, "I'm just casually making a kind reminder, of course, how to judge is your business."

"Wait a minute," Shirley stood up suddenly, but hesitated for two seconds before continuing, depending on your attitude...... You didn't know that Nina was special."

Duncan stopped, and after a slight groan, he raised his hand and pointed to his eyes: "It seems that the 'eyes' of this body I use now are not very good, and some things really haven't been noticed."

This body......

Shirley noticed these words keenly, but she didn't dare to ask anything, just a little curious as she watched the other person continue to walk upstairs: "What are you going to do now?"

"Of course, it's upstairs to eat," Duncan said, looking down, "you guys too, it's time for dinner." ”

It's time for dinner

What it's like to eat at the house of a subspace bigwig

Shirley didn't know how to describe how many strange thoughts flashed through her mind as she followed the big guy upstairs, she was nervous and expectant, curious and afraid, although she knew that it was most likely just an ordinary daily meal, but she couldn't help but guess what horror and bizarre things would appear at the table later.

In this seemingly ordinary antique shop, there lives a shadow from subspace, which is the nest of subspace shadows, the collapse between the real world and the deep world, and in such a nest...... Even the appearance of an evil god's heir on the table seemed to her to be a fairly normal situation.

Shirley went upstairs with this wild conjecture and nervousness, came to the slightly cramped kitchen, and saw the contents of the table.

It was nothing more than a plate of freshly heated hard bread, a pot of vegetable soup most commonly found in Downtown Downtown, and a few more

Tomato sauce and mushroom sauce on top.

The most striking thing on the table was nothing more than a pot of fish soup - a few pieces of fish that had been cut and processed and could not be seen in their original appearance floated in the whitening soup, and the smell of fresh fragrance wafted in, tickling Shirley's stomach and intestines.

"I made soup with half of the salted fish left in the kitchen," Nina said to Duncan with a smile, then looked at Shirley, "This fish was bought by my uncle, you can taste it, it tastes good!"

Shirley sat down at the table a little in heat, her eyes swept between the ordinary meals, and Duncan next to her

I couldn't help laughing: "Why, the food is too ordinary, but it's still unpalatable."

"Ah, no, no, no...... It's much better than what I usually eat......" Shirley replied subconsciously, and then added

said, "But I really didn't expect it to be such an ordinary thing." ”

"This fish looks a little strange," the dog next to him also poked his head to look at the food on the table, sulking

"I always feel like it...... It's a bit familiar" "You know what kind of food" Shirley glanced at it, "You usually use whistle stones as biscuits......

"Mr. Dog, isn't he eating?" Nina looked surprised when she heard this.

"The Shadow Demon doesn't eat human food—in fact, it doesn't eat at all," Shirley nodded, "just the occasional grinding of its teeth and gnawing on rocks and steel plates and stuff."

When Ah Gou heard this, he immediately snorted and shook his head: "I'm a little sad when you say that, how did I find a way to steal food outside to feed you, you forgot that occasionally I also eat some...............

As he spoke, he leaned over to the edge of the table and approached the pot of fish soup, only to stare at it for two seconds

After that, the second half of the sentence that it didn't finish came to an abrupt end.

In the next second, the ghostly hound suddenly withdrew its gaze, scurryed back to its place, and lay still on its stomach

Finish.

Shirley was stunned by the other party's reaction: "What's wrong with you, dog..."

Ah Gou looked at Duncan for the first time, but what he saw was a gentle smile from the other party.

Ah Gou looked at Duncan for the first time, but what he saw was a gentle smile from the other party.

"Why don't you like to eat fish?" the indescribable whirlpool of light and shadow asked with a smile.

Ah Dog's head shook from side to side, and suddenly, he felt that the so-called cordial and friendly conversation, the kind and easy smile, and the friendship of cooperating in the investigation were really just illusions, and in the depths of that indescribable distorted light and shadow, there was really only terror!

A "descendant of the deep sea" of a higher rank than it was chopped up and stewed into soup, and even the essence of the food was real............ This horrible thing is happening at that table!

"I ...... Don't like to eat fish. ”

The Hound said sullenly.

Out of the corner of its eye, the freshly made fish soup was still steaming and smelling good for humans.

It knew that the contents of that pot were really "fish", and whatever it used to be, it was now a fish

Finish.

The nature of the heir had long since been distorted and tampered with, and if it weren't for the eyes given to him by the Dark Lord, even it would not have been able to make out what those pieces of minced flesh were.

Nowadays, it is really harmless food, even if Shirley eats it, there will be no problem. But the dog himself won't be near the table even if he is killed today!

Duncan didn't know why Ah Dog suddenly reacted so much to the fish soup, but he wanted to come to this special food with the ghostly demon

The spectrum was related, and he didn't care.

His attention was on Nina.

Nina doesn't look any different from a normal day, and although she may have a little more on her mind, the sensible child chooses to deal with her feelings in a way that no one else will embarrass her.

On the other hand, Duncan already knew that Nina was ...... "hiding" something.

Or in other words, the huge and invisible "curtain" in that factory also invisibly spread over Nina.

He didn't dare to judge directly, and he couldn't be sure what the ashes around Nina meant, but there was no doubt that Nina must have been in a very special position during the fire eleven years ago.

It's as special as that factory.

Nina didn't know anything, she had been living like this for eleven years.

"Uncle" Nina finally noticed Duncan's gaze, she was a little confused, "What's wrong?"

Duncan didn't answer, just reached out and gently stroked the top of Nina's head.

Nina was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head from side to side: "I'm not a child anymore!"

"I know, you're not a child anymore," Duncan laughed, and a tiny speck of green light flickered between Nina's shaking hair, "but you're still a child." ”

Nina's cheeks puffed out slightly.

"Uncle, you will follow Shirley to ...... 'investigation' in the future

She finally couldn't help but ask.

"Within safe limits." Duncan replied earnestly.

“…………… Can't you go without it?"

Duncan shook his head: "No."

Nina was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then what can I do?"

"Eat well," Duncan smiled, pointing to the table, "then sleep well, study hard, and finally protect yourself, and trust your Uncle Duncan." ”

Nina stuffed a loaf of bread into her mouth, bulging.

"yes, I see.
