A swift white shadow swept over the old and squalid streets of the lower city, over the pipes and pressure relief structures that crisscrossed the factory complex, over the desolate stations and deserted streets, and finally into a narrow alley.

The green flames burst into flames, spreading through the air like a door, and the vortex in the gate suddenly expanded and contracted, and Duncan stepped out of the gate.

She was followed by Shirley, who was still a bit of a blindfold.

Duncan looked back at the girl behind him, looked up and down before he said in a deep voice, "How do you feel?" Is there anything uncomfortable?"

"I ..... Fortunately," Shirley was still dizzy, but this dizziness was more of an uncomfortable feeling caused by being suddenly taken by the elder to fly, rather than physical discomfort, she looked up at Ai Yin, who had returned to the form of a white dove and landed on Duncan's shoulder, and after a long time, she suddenly used God to communicate with Ah Dog who was in a hidden state and hid in her soul, "Ah Dog, can you beat this pigeon?"

“.. Don't ask, you can't beat it if you ask," Ah Gou's voice sounded muffled, "Don't talk about the old bird, even the old stewed fish, I can't beat it.....

Shirley was stunned: "Why did you suddenly mention fish?"

"Because I can see that there is probably nothing common sense around this being...

Duncan didn't know that Shirley was cooing with a dog, he just visually confirmed Shirley's situation again, and felt the feedback from the imprint he left on the other party, and then he completely calmed down.

In fact, he was sure that Ai Yin was transporting living people, not only because he used his current mortal body last time to conduct a test, but also because after that, he asked Ai Yin to conduct a large number of "live experiments" outside with various small animals such as birds and beasts, and all the tests were perfect, which could confirm that the pigeon could transport live targets without damage, but even with so many tests, he still subconsciously confirmed Xia Xueli's situation.

After all, Ai Yin is full of mysteries, and no one knows how many special things it has waiting to be discovered, so it naturally doesn't hurt to be more cautious when using the "Bone Pigeon Express".

And after confirming Shirley's condition, he also focused on his surroundings.

As far as the eye can see, a deserted alley with a dilapidated streetscape at the end of the alley, with dilapidated pipes running over the houses on both sides, some of which have tiny steam leaks at their junctions.

This is a sight that is common in many parts of the lower town.

But Shirley still found out what this place was the first time.

"It's .... Sixth Block?" Her eyes widened in surprise, "Mr. Duncan, do you sense that sigil appearing here?"

.

"That's right, Sixth Block, we're back here, but—" Duncan exhaled, then frowning slightly, "but the imprint sensing had subsided a minute ago. “

＿Tkn

“... Subsided? Is it extinguished?"

Shirley asked with a look of surprise, but Duncan didn't answer anything, just looked thoughtfully in a certain direction.

In Shirley's "dream", he planted a cluster of flames into the remaining fragments of the attacker's split, and he gave the fragment an order to return it to his "body", and shortly thereafter, he lost his sense of the flame as Shirley's dream ended, until just now, when the mark suddenly appeared in his perception again, but it led him here.

Located in the sixth block of the real world.

The spirit fire that was supposed to spread in the dream suddenly sent back a signal in the real world, and Shirley's own dream, the edge of which was connected to Nina's dream, and the umbrella monster who attacked Shirley in the nightmare appeared at the scene of the museum fire in the real world......

Unconsciously, many contradictory but faintly connected threads were connected in Duncan's heart, and he felt as if he was about to touch the invisible veil.

Or rather, the vast curtain that enveloped the city still had a "gap" in the Sixth Block, somewhere he and Shirley had overlooked last time.

He looked at the location where the last signal from the imprint in his perception had been given

The sigil's aura had only been present for a short time, and had faded rapidly a minute earlier, but Duncan didn't think the flame he had left behind had been extinguished—though he couldn't pinpoint its exact location, he could still sense that the flame was still burning, and it was even much larger than before.

Since the flames are still burning and growing, it means that its "mission" is not over - it is still chasing, devouring, assimilating the attacker, and may even have spread into a fire, it briefly appeared in the sixth block and then quickly faded, probably because the "curtain" here is not stable, and a gap is briefly opening and closing, causing the worlds of the two dimensions to intersect.

He had to find the gap, the gap that seemed to connect dreams and reality.

After a few days, Duncan once again led Shirley through the deserted and run-down streets of the Sixth Block, this time not wasting any more time asking the locals about anything, but instead heading straight to the deepest part of the block.

"That abandoned factory is in the other direction...", Shirley raised her arm and pointed to a large building in the distance.

"We're not going to that factory," Duncan said quickly, "and we're going this way." ”

Shirley answered, and followed Duncan's footsteps with her short legs.

The yellow leaves drifted in the wind and landed at Shirley's feet, and as she walked forward, she heard a slight snapping sound coming from under her feet, as if she were stepping on scorched wood chips, and as if it were the subtle crackling sound of fire.

She looked up and saw nothing more than ordinary streets, old houses lined up along the streets, standing in the wind among the fallen leaves, indifferently facing the uninvited guests who had intruded into the place.

Shirley suddenly notices that something is wrong.

I don't know when she started to see no passers-by.

The Sixth Block is indeed deserted, most places are sparsely populated, and the only residents seem unfazed and withdrawn, but it is by no means so deserted that no one can see it!

A very uncomfortable feeling permeated from the bottom of her heart, this feeling made her vaguely think of the dream she was trapped in, she subconsciously approached Duncan, but she didn't expect Duncan to suddenly stop and slam, she hit the latter's waist headfirst.

In the next second, Shirley drafted the full text of her last words and conceived the three tombstone styles, but it soon occurred to her that the people crushed by the shadows of the subspace would probably not be able to leave a corpse.......

Duncan's calm voice interrupted the girl's momentary thoughts: "Looks like we've arrived."

"Very, very sorry, I really didn't mean to, please...... Huh?"

Shirley subconsciously popped out a string of begging for mercy, and then realized that the elder in front of her didn't seem to be angry, and then she noticed that she had stopped in front of a building that seemed to have been abandoned for an unknown amount of time.

It's a church.

A neighborhood church that can be found throughout the city-state of Purand stands at the end of the trail.

It has the elongated spire of the Deep Sea Church, the black roof tiles and white stone walls are full of hanging vines and rotten and filthy objects, the door depicting the intricate sacred runes is slightly open, and the stained glass windows next to it are also dilapidated, almost only the curved and deformed wrought iron outline remains, and the dim scene can be faintly seen through the cracks in the doors and windows.

It was once a sacred building, but now a dilapidated and forgotten breath has filled every crevice of its bricks.

“...... Is this the 'church' that the old man near the intersection mentioned last time?" Shirley recalls the last time she visited the Sixth Block, "I remember saying that there was a nun living here, but that nun was often not in the church........

"The dilapidated state is not explained by 'often absence,'" Duncan said casually, striding toward the church door, "not so much that the nun was out of the house often, but that it looked like it had been forgotten for eleven years." ”

Shirley watched the other party walk towards the church, instinctively nervous about the building, but after a moment of hesitation, she kept up with Duncan.

The next moment, Duncan pushed open the door of the church, and the scene inside the chapel was clearly visible to her and Shirley.

The warm and bright candlelight fell into Shirley's eyes, and the clean chapel was brightly lit, and at the end of the neatly arranged benches, the icon of the storm goddess Grimona stood quietly in the lamplight.

A nun who was kneeling in prayer before the icon heard the door open and turned back.

She saw the visitor standing at the door, and a gentle smile appeared on her face: "It's been a long time since anyone has visited this church."

“..... Looks like this is the place," Duncan whispered calmly as he looked at the smiling nun in front of him, "the gap in the veil."

He blinked, and in his eyes, the smiling nun maintained the appearance of a living person for one moment, but in the next moment turned into a pile of human form and wriggling ashes, and the church behind her took on a strange superposition - the flames were burning on the intact benches, and the ashes and sparks were floating from the roof, and the scene after the fire was destroyed and the scene of the church was intact overlapped at the same time, showing an eerie but torn scene.

My Healing Game

It was as if two very different facts had been forcibly blended into this church.
