Now, half a century after the end of Project Abyss, Tirion finally felt the ...... of the project that had continued to this day Chill.

The "No. 3 submersibles" that had surfaced one after another seemed to appear in front of his eyes again, and along with those cautious soldiers, serious priests, and the cold-faced and silent Queen of Frost, he seemed to see the hatches of those submersibles open again, and saw the crazy explorers walking inside, out of the specious humans, out of the swollen and deformed monsters, out of the wriggling and deformed pieces of flesh, the dead and strange mud, the dry and suspicious black fibers, and ...... See the empty cockpit of the seventh "No. 3 submersible".

"The platform was extremely heavily guarded, with a large number of clerics and guards guarding the site," Tirion said as he recalled, frowning, "but...... I must admit that your question is a bit scary. ”

Duncan didn't say anything, but after a few seconds, he suddenly asked, "What did you do with those 'No. 3 submersibles'?" ”

"With the exception of the first 'genuine' that floated up, the other six clones were thrown into the furnace, melted into ingots in the sacred flames, and poured into the sea—even though it was a lot of metal, no one dared to leave those things behind," Tirion said, a little hesitant in his tone, "but if, as you said, even the first one isn't the 'original', then that's ......"

"The first one, where is it?"

"If you're asking where it is now, then I don't know," Tirien shook his head, "The rebels should have destroyed everything related to the Abyss Project, but no one knows how they destroyed those materials, maybe just dismantled and recycled?"

"But if you mean the period before the rebellion...... Submersible No. 3 has been kept in warehouses in the port area since its decommissioning. ”

Duncan was silent for a few seconds, and finally exhaled softly: "I see...... Tyrion, thank you for telling me so much, and in any case, this information greatly satisfies my curiosity. ”

Tyrion, however, seemed preoccupied, and after many years, he looked back and analyzed the original "Abyss Project", and he really noticed too many chilling details from it - although the plan itself was full of weirdness, the little uneasiness that came from this kind of looking back and peeking back was more stressful than being in it at the time, especially the doubts raised by his father about the Frost Queen's final order just now, which made him vaguely feel ...... This old case, which was closed half a century ago, does not seem to be really over at all.

But in any case, today's conversation is over.

My father didn't mean to leave him behind.

The sound of flapping wings suddenly came from the side, and Tirion followed the voice, only to see a phantom of a bird wrapped in a dark green flame flash through the air, and then the place where the phantom flashed suddenly rose into the air and a roaring green fire, the flame rose and swirled, turning into a whirlpool door in the blink of an eye.

Coming from the mirror next to him came his father's voice: "Walk in and you'll be sent to the vicinity of the cathedral - I don't think you should tell anyone about what happened here." ”

"Of course, I've never been a whistleblower."

Tirion replied, then looked at the flaming door, a little hesitant, but finally made up his mind and walked forward—but before he could cross the door, he stopped again, and couldn't help but look back at the goth figure standing quietly next to the mirror.

"Anomaly 099......" he muttered softly as if talking to himself, "It's too much like ......"

"It is said that the first appearance of Anomaly 099 was in the cold sea, near the area where the Frost Queen was executed and fell into the sea," Duncan's voice sounded from the mirror, "I have the same suspicions as you, but even Alice herself can't tell where she came from, as you just said...... There's so much in the deep ocean that we can't understand. ”

Tirien was thoughtful, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke, "Looks like this puppet likes to be around you. ”

Duncan said lightly: "At first, it was left over from the stalker, but then I found that she could still be of some use. ”

Alice's answer was much simpler, she laughed happily, nodded and said, "I like to be around the captain, he's amazing!" ”

Tirion looked at his father, who was expressionless in the mirror, with some surprise, and then at "Alice", who looked like the Frost Queen but didn't look like the Frost Queen except for her appearance, and suddenly laughed after a moment.

It was a visceral relief and joy.

Then he turned and stepped into the door of the flame without hesitation.

Silence returned to the warehouse.

Alice looked at the direction where the flames disappeared, then turned her head to look at the mirror next to her, and reacted for a long time before she suddenly said, "Captain, why did he look at us and laugh just now?" ”

Duncan replied casually, "How do I know." ”

Alice sighed in confusion, thought about it again, and said again: "What you just discussed was frost and abyss...... Does it have anything to do with me? ”

This time, Duncan didn't just find an explanation to fool the puppet, but thought about it very seriously before he said in a deep voice: "It may be related." ”

"Can I figure it out?"

"It should be hard."

"Oh, then I'll not think about it yet," Alice scratched her head, then smiled and looked at Duncan in the mirror, "Anyway, if there's something I need to do or cooperate, just tell me what to do." ”

"I will."

"Hmm!"

……

A flash of fire flickered through the gloomy alley, and a moment later, a groggy Tirion stepped out of the alley to see the towering gates of the Poland Cathedral not far away.

"It's really delivered to the neighborhood......

The pirate muttered, and raised his hand to knock his head, which was a little drowsy from the fainting pigeon, but accidentally touched the swollen area, and immediately inhaled cold air in pain.

The little girl's strength was also a little too scary...... That's a ghostly demon heavier than two or three adults tied together!

Recalling the origin of the wound on his head, Tyri couldn't help but mutter, and while muttering, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

His father was indeed reassembling a team, at least as far as could be seen, he had taken control of Anomaly 099 and had a powerful and quirky girl who could summon a ghostly demon to work for him, but that was obviously not all.

Even yesterday, this was enough to make him so vigilant that he couldn't help but warn the city-state and the church - but at this moment, he had no intention of "snitching" the church.

His mind was now full of thoughts related to the "Abyss Project".

Tirion strode towards the Cathedral of the Storm, and within a few steps of his steps, he saw several figures appear at the cathedral entrance, trotting towards them.

Those were the sailors he had sent back before.

The captain of the ship left a word and disappeared for a whole day, which obviously made his men uneasy.

In a few moments, several sailors had arrived in front of Tirion, and one of them did not wait to stop before he muttered, "You are back!" The sun is about to go down, where have you been? ”

The other sailor was surprised when he saw Tirien's strange appearance: "Captain, the wound on your face...... And why is the head swollen so big?! ”

Tirion knew that he couldn't hide his embarrassment, and he had hoped that he would be able to recover from his healing power beyond that of ordinary people before returning to the cathedral, but it turned out that although the strange girl's use of the ghostly demon was questionable, the wound caused by the ghostly demon was still very troublesome, and his head was still swollen after a long time.

“…… I fell on the road. ”

After holding it for a long time, Tirian could only use a lame reason to perfunctory.

He was really embarrassed to admit in front of his subordinates that this was the result of "Daddy's injury" - not to mention that it was not even his father's own hand, the other party was just a little girl who was almost as tall as his chest.

"Fell?" The sailor who spoke first looked at his boss suspiciously, "Then you fell a little too much...... Ahead of its time, it's like slamming the walls and earth of Poland with his head......"

Tirion stared at the sailor with deep eyes, and said word by word: "I fell on the road." ”

The sailor was suddenly excited, and immediately reacted: "Oh, oh, yes, you obviously fell down accidentally, and I will help you with medicine when you go back......"

"That's enough, I don't want to discuss this for now," Tirion sighed and strode towards the church door, "Let's go back first, I need to get some rest today, and then it's time to head back north." ”

"Back to the North? Aren't we going to stay here for a few more days? You've been planning ......"

The words "Abyss Project" came to mind again, and Tirion waved his hand: "Enough, it's time to go back, over there...... There is still something to be done. ”

The sailors looked at each other, but finally nodded and obeyed the captain's decision.

Tyrion stopped abruptly.

He hesitated in front of the main entrance to the Cathedral of the Storm, touching the swollen spots on his face and head.

"Go back through the side door."
