Chapter 191: Non-Linear Existence, and Preparation for Traveling to the City-State

Once again, the puppet rode back to the Lost Land, and looked a little frightened—and Duncan's eyes widened in horror after hearing the disgraceful description of the puppet's mess.

"Gone? Disappeared right in front of your eyes? Duncan looked at Alice dumbfounded, then at the lifeboat that had just been lifted to the side of the boat by a winch sling—the ropes that had been used to bind the last preachers were still there, but the cultists who had been bound were long gone.

"Yes, yes! It's gone all at once! Not even a sound! Alice explained her bizarre experience to Duncan by gesture, "The moment the sun shined, they disappeared as if they had never existed......"

"The moment the sun shines, it disappears silently......" Duncan frowned, he imagined countless ways for those who would eventually be preacher to escape or resist, but he didn't expect the other party to disappear out of thin air, which made many of his preparations useless, "I can understand that they just jump into the sea, so they can be soluble in water, what is the principle of soluble in sunlight...... Could it be related to the sun? Will the sun's repressive power keep them from surviving in the real world? ”

"I don't know." Alice's eyes widened, rightly arranged.

"I didn't ask you," Duncan glanced at the puppet, "and what was wrong with them before they disappeared?" What did they say? Or did you do some weird ritual? ”

"They...... I've been babbling about subspace, the promised land, the destined reincarnation of the final rebirth or something," Alice rubbed her head, and then suddenly remembered, "Oh yes! There was a cultist who said 'our day is over'......"

"Is their 'another day' over?" Duncan's brow furrowed, and then for some reason he thought of what the last preacher had said to him—

They hide in a cursed history.

Some outrageous conjectures popped up, but thinking about what kind of ghost state this even more outrageous world was, it seemed that no matter how outrageous things were, they were not so outrageous.

"Captain?" Alice saw Duncan frowning and thinking about it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but take the initiative to speak, "What did you think of?" You ......"

"Nothing," Duncan said, shaking his head, as if talking to himself, and as if sighing softly, "but suddenly there was a crazy thought, those so-called Last-Word Preachers...... I'm afraid it's not a non-linear ......"

"Non-linear existence?" Alice was stunned for a moment, her limited brain capacity and knowledge reserve prevented her from keeping up with the captain's train of thought, "What does that mean?" ”

“…… Don't ask, with your intellect I can't explain it to you," Duncan glanced at Alice, hesitated for two seconds and shook his head, "but I suddenly figured out one thing, why in the book that Morris gave me, it said that the Last Word Missionary is the most mysterious and the most difficult cultist to find and capture...... This is outrageous. ”

It's outrageous—Duncan repeated to himself.

Hiding in the abnormal flow of history, itself a non-linear existence, moving through reality with the turn of day and night, you can never arrest a last preacher captured yesterday today unless you kill him on the spot—this is the astonishing fact he deduced from the available clues.

In contrast, the Suncultists, who are equally ferocious and dark, but are actually mostly a rabble, seem mundane and friendly - although they also have the strange property of "constantly transforming from ordinary people under the influence of the Creep Sun Wheel", they are not evil to this extent.

But then again...... If the Last Ministers were "non-linear" as he had guessed, how did they come to this state? Ordinary human ...... How can we detach ourselves from the normal flow of time and become a "slice creature" that is discontinuous in time?

Simply because they follow subspace...... So he got the crazy and deranged "blessing" of subspace?

"Captain, you're in a daze again......"

Alice's voice came again, and the puppet was looking at Duncan with some concern.

"I'm fine." Duncan exhaled softly and put away all the messy thoughts, he felt that it was too early for him to brainstorm now, after all, he was also in contact with those subspace believers for the first time, and it was useless to make the most outrageous speculations.

He turned his gaze back to Alice.

"Did you see the note I gave you?" He said casually.

"See!" Alice immediately nodded happily, "When I first saw the box, I was shocked and thought you were telling me not to go back, but then I was relieved when I saw the note...... But I didn't understand the words on it, but I did understand the picture you draw......"

The corners of Duncan's mouth twitched, and his heart said that after he finished writing the note, his heart moved and really came in handy, this doll turned out to be really illiterate: "...... You really can't read. ”

"I can't read!" Alice was as upright as ever, "I've been lying in the box for so many years, and it's already very powerful to accumulate some common sense of life by 'listening', how can I recognize words clearly......"

Duncan: "......"

"Captain, what are you thinking?"

"I suddenly thought...... I don't know if it's feasible to run a cram school in a lost country or an antique shop," Duncan sighed, "counting you, I already know two illiterate people—and if you count the dogs, there must be three, enough to start a study group." ”

Alice thought for a moment, "What is a cram school?" What is a study group? ”

“…… I'll explain later," Duncan waved his hand, then his expression became a little serious, "Let's talk about the previous 'test'." All three cultists were fine before they disappeared, weren't they? Even after sending the boxes over, they weren't affected in any way? ”

"It must be normal, their heads are on their necks, I can see it clearly."

Duncan curled his finger against his chin and looked at Alice thoughtfully.

Although the characteristics of those Last Missionaries are strange, they certainly do not have the strength or "extraordinary resistance" of saints, after all, Shirley can kill three people with a dog, which shows that their flesh and blood are also "regular substances" that can be destroyed, and at most their tolerance for pain is far beyond that of ordinary people.

And now the three Last Ministers have been by Alice's side for so long, and they have not been affected in any way, that is...... Is the effect of the guillotine really gone?

Alice watched Duncan's face change, and no matter how sluggish she was, she finally gradually reacted at this time, she cautiously leaned over, raised her face with a faint expectation on her face: "Captain...... Did I pass my 'test'? Can you take me to the city-state? ”

"Test ...... It should have passed, although the strange nature of those final preachers made me a little uncomfortable, but in terms of the results, ......" Duncan spoke slowly, as he was still thinking and considering, but finally he nodded, "Okay, the test has indeed passed, and your guillotine ability looks like it's under control." ”

He paused before Alice celebrated, adding, "I'll take you to the city-state, but not immediately—you have a serious lack of knowledge of the human world, and you have places on your body that are easily exposed, such as your fingers and wrist joints, the former requiring some hard work, and the latter some disguise." ”

"Uh-huh, I know, I know!" Alice nodded vigorously, she didn't seem to be frustrated by the difficulties and problems mentioned by Duncan at all, but seemed full of motivation, "Mr. Goathead also told me, it said that the human world is very complicated, and there are a lot of rules for going out to buy groceries, and it said that if I want to go to the human city-state, I will definitely need to 'make up for it', and if there is anything I can't ask......"

"Don't ask it!!" Duncan didn't wait for Alice to finish speaking, and quickly interrupted the doll, which had been in collusion with the goat's head all day long, and was about to grow completely crooked, "It's better than you, and you learn the common sense of human society from it?" What about your brain? ”

Alice looked innocent: "No! ”

Duncan almost didn't come up in one breath, stared at it for a long time, and finally held back a sentence: "You...... I admit you're right. ”

"Hey......

"Anyway, don't learn from that goathead in the future, it can't teach a few good things," Duncan sighed, feeling that every time he communicated with this puppet, he was challenging his nerves, and even had a feeling of being overchecked, "I'll take the time to make up for your common sense when I go back, and by the way, I'll help you think about the disguise, and now that you have nothing to do, let's go cook first." ”

"Oh," Alice nodded vigorously, but as if she was about to walk away, she suddenly remembered something, and turned to look at Duncan curiously, "What are you going to do, Captain?" ”

"I have something to talk to the goatheads," Duncan waved his hand with a tired expression, "something that has nothing to do with you." ”

Alice nodded, and turned in the direction of the cabin—in a good mood, with a brisk and dignified step.

Duncan looked at the back of Miss Doll leaving, and couldn't help but sigh again in his heart-

It's so elegant when you don't open your mouth and don't turn around.

It's a pity that it has a mouth......
