Chapter 202: Fishing for People
Duncan looked at Mr. Morris who was standing on the first floor with some surprise, and looked at the other party's embarrassment and the obviously strange expression on his face.
He walked down slowly and greeted the old scholar: "Good day—what's going on?" You look like you've come all the way through the wind and rain? ”
Deng ...... Mr. Duncan," Morris came back to his senses, setting aside the mysterious blonde lady for a moment, and walking forward as he took off his already soaked hat, "I need your help...... I don't know how to explain this to you, and I don't know if you're willing to make a move, but ...... I found out that there were last missionaries in the city, and they were doing something to the history of Plant, and I ......"
The old man said that he suddenly got a little stuck.
He seemed to realize how reckless and impulsive his act of asking for help was, and realized that his act of asking for help from an unknown subspace being was itself irrational... And why would he help with this? Does the survival of humanity and the survival of the city-state make sense to him? What threat did the Last Preacher pose to him?
Did he act so impulsively just because of the friendly attitude that this subspace being had shown before, or because the other party happened to show concern for something last time?
Morris was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Duncan nod slightly.
"I know."
The confused starlight, the broken mirror, the giant of light and shadow, the skin of a mortal, spoke to him calmly from the staircase.
"You...... Know? Morris was stunned, but then reacted, and the expression on his face became extremely strange, "Ah, yes...... Of course you don't need me to remind me, I'm ......"
The old man threw his hat aside, raised his hand and patted his head, as if he felt that he had made a fool, and muttered: "I am so stupid, I think you will not notice the abnormality in the city-state, then you must also know that Fanna......"
Duncan immediately frowned slightly: "Vanna? The city-state inquisitor who has a good relationship with Heidi? What happened to her? ”
"Vanna, she ...... gone," Morris was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Duncan to react like this, but he still subconsciously said, and then hurriedly added, "I'm not saying that she is missing, but she suddenly disappeared into the real world from today, Heidi forgot about Vanna's existence, and no one else remembered, even in the city-state's newspapers......"
Duncan walked briskly down the stairs, and in the middle of Morris's speech, he realized that the situation was complicated, and his expression became serious at this moment: "Sit down and speak slowly." Alice, go get hot tea ready – remember how to do it? ”
"Yes, Mr. Duncan."
Morris saw that the blonde woman with an elegant and mysterious temperament immediately got up after hearing Duncan's order, and he also noticed that every movement of the "Miss Alice" seemed slightly strange—many of her movements were small, with a strange sense of caution and moderation, which reminded him of the ancient nobles with excellent upbringing and family heritage, and made him even more curious about her identity.
But his curiosity gave way to the current state of affairs.
After taking a seat at the counter, he immediately told the "antique store manager" about the anomaly he had noticed, as well as the difficulties and obstacles he had encountered along the way.
Duncan listened with a serious expression, and did not interrupt Morris's statement the whole time, until the other party finished speaking, and then he muttered softly as if exclamation: "O last preacher...... A bunch of troublesome guys indeed. ”
"These insane people, who have banished themselves from the real dimension in ancient times, will always appear out of nowhere, and they are committed to disrupting the continuity of history and threatening the stability of the real world...... But they rarely get a chance to make things so big," Morris said in a deep voice, "Under normal circumstances, the protection of the gods will block the infiltration of the Last Missionary, and the Fire Bearer will continue to strengthen the historical barriers, and this time those madmen must have borrowed some other force to break the blockade......"
"Your tea, old sir." Alice came from the side and placed the hot tea on the counter.
"Thank you," Morris hurriedly thanked him, he had been through the ups and downs all the way, and now he really needed a cup of hot tea to warm up,
But as soon as he took a sip of it, he couldn't hold back, "Poof-"
Duncan on the other side looked stunned: "Let's make do with it, she at least really found where the tea is, although the dosage is debatable." ”
Maurice turned his head in astonishment to glance at the mysterious lady named Alice, only to see that the other party was already leaning on the stairs, in a state of wandering.
…… What is the origin of this mysterious man?
Duncan, on the other hand, chewed his tea steadily, confirming one thing in his mind.
Indeed, the transcendents of this world have discovered the "non-linear" nature of the Last Minister, and they have targeted countermeasures.
But it now appears that these countermeasures have not always been effective.
He closed his eyes slightly, and in the dark vision, distant green flames suddenly jumped at the end of his perception.
Morris looked curiously at Duncan, who suddenly began to "close his eyes and recuperate": "Mr. Duncan, you ......"
"Don't worry, Vanna is still alive," Duncan opened his eyes with a calm expression, "it's just ...... Living outside the city-state of Perande at this moment. ”
"Can you confirm her location and status?" Morris's eyes widened in shock, he was actually mainly here to pass on the news of "historical pollution", mentioning Vanna's situation was only incidental, after all, from his point of view, Duncan and the city-state judge should have little connection, but he didn't expect the other party to bet "sight" on Vanna.
"I'm keeping an eye on her, she's a good judge," Duncan didn't explain, just nodded abruptly, and then suddenly got up from behind the counter, "Excuse me." ”
Morris got up stunned: "What are you going to do?" ”
Duncan was walking towards the stairs when he stopped and looked back slightly: "Go and bring Vana back - by the way, see what the hell is going on over there." ”
Then he paused again and looked at the embarrassment on Morris: "Do you want to go upstairs and take a hot shower and change clothes?" I'm taller than you, but you should be able to wear my clothes. ”
Take a bath in this subspace lair and change into the clothes of the evil god?!
I don't dare to mention these two in the "Four Achievements of Crazy Scholars"!
Morriston felt his scalp tighten, and quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, no need, I'll just wait here......"
"Then please take care of yourself." Duncan nodded, and walked up the stairs.
As soon as he went upstairs, he saw Nina and Shirley standing at the top of the stairs.
The expression on Shirley's face was a little uneasy, and she immediately greeted Duncan when she saw it: "Mr. Duncan, isn't it...... What's wrong? ”
"Why do you say that?"
"We just ...... Hearing the movement from the first floor," Shirley rubbed her hands together and lowered her head as if she had done something wrong, "Actually, Ah Gou heard it, saying that the Missionary has reappeared, and there is a historical pollution or something, and a person named Vanna is missing?" Sounds like a very important person......"
Nina also looked at her with an uneasy expression, she was obviously more confused than Shirley: "Uncle, what's wrong?" ”
“…… "A little thing," Duncan said after a little muttering as he looked at the two girls who were already vaguely aware of the imminent turmoil and were nervous, "you can rest in the house, and if you are bored, you can go to the first floor to chat with Mr. Morris, it's fine." ”
Shirley sighed, Nina seemed a little hesitant, she held back for a long time, but she couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed Duncan's sleeve: "Uncle, I think ...... I felt a little scared. Is it really okay? And you...... What are you going to do? ”
Duncan paused, quietly staring into Nina's eyes.
As he had noticed before, Nina's senses were actually very acute—she wasn't unaware of everything, she was just too sensible.
But now the situation is slightly beyond the boundaries of her "sensible".
"Uncle, I'm actually a very powerful person," Duncan laughed suddenly, reaching out to Nina on top of her head, "but I can't explain it to you yet...... You can stay with Shirley for a while, and when it's over, I'll tell you what's going on. ”
Just this level of reassurance, Nina still calmed down, she nodded obediently, and her voice was soft: "...... Oh. ”
Nina
And Shirley went downstairs.
Duncan retracted the expression on his face, hurried back to his room, and summoned the pigeon Ayin, who had been munching on fries on the Lost Country.
"We'll have to find someone," Duncan said with a serious face when he saw the pigeon appear, and without waiting for the other to speak, "business, business, and doubling the ketchup when it's done." ”
Ai Yin suddenly jumped up on the spot: "Loyalty is unspeakable, loyalty is unspeakable!" ”
Duncan exhaled slightly, and once again sank his mind, sensing the distant, beating flames.
That's the mark he left on Vanna,
What happened to Vanna was an accident for him, but it also brought unexpected gains.
Through this "window" of Vanna, he had just sensed something else—the flames he had released in Shirley's "dream" earlier!
The flames had briefly appeared in the chapel of the Sixth Block, and then disappeared as the veil closed again, and he could only confirm that the flames were still spreading, but he could not pinpoint them, but now they ...... He could clearly feel the presence of those flames, and he could feel that those flames were all around Vanna!
Although I don't know how all this happened, there is one thing that the mother doubts-
Vanna went to the other side of the veil.
And now, this powerful inquisitor, who bears Duncan's "mark", has become a channel for Duncan to intervene in the curtain.
"Spirit walking."
