Chapter 266: Thinking Spreads

Vanna stood up and walked to the statue of the Lady in the small prayer room, which was placed on a high platform, and around the platform, bright candles were burning silently.

"We should convey this warning to the Cathedral of the Storm, and preferably to the other churches and city-states," Bishop Valentine's voice came from behind him, "but it involves the source of the warning, and if it is to be convincing enough, it is necessary to give reasons that are convincing enough for the other tritheistic churches, and it is not enough to simply say, 'A saint receives a revelation in a dream.'"

"His Holiness the Pope is aware of the connection between you and Captain Duncan, and she has not given any admonition to this, and it seems that she has acquiesced in the matter, but if the other churches know the truth...... Their reaction was unpredictable, especially on the side of the Church of the Dead. ”

"What is the influence of the Thirteen Isles of Visceland...... Vanna muttered quietly, "the Church of the Dead is not ordinary. ”

"That's right, the thirteen islands of Visceland, the victim of being dragged into subspace by the Lost Land, the largest archipelago city-state under the control of the Church of Death a century ago, to the followers of the Grim Reaper, those thirteen islands are the same status as today's Plender to the Church of the Deep Sea," Valentine sighed, "It's troublesome, after a hundred years, this is not just a matter of hatred, but also a natural distrust of humanity towards an 'out-of-control scourge', if they knew the source of this warning, maybe they would think about this matter in the direction of conspiracy first." ”

Vanna didn't speak for a while, but was silent for a few seconds before she suddenly spoke: "The Storm Cathedral is coming, maybe His Holiness the Pope will have his own considerations for this." ”

"Hopefully," Valentine muttered unconfidently, "Anyway, now the Church of the Four Gods has also paid attention to the situation of Vision 001, but it seems that we are not paying enough attention to it, if the Deep Sea Church can take the lead and raise the priority of this matter, I think at least this 'warning' effect will be achieved." ”

Vana nodded slowly, then raised her gaze to the icon of the storm goddess Grimona, and then whispered a prayer for a long time: "...... May you take refuge. ”

……

On the aft deck of the Lost Land, Duncan had just finished his tour of the entire ship and was about to go back to his room to rest.

Every once in a while, the Lost Ship needs to make a general round, especially the bottom part of the ship - those cabins that have been submerged in the endless sea need the captain's deterrence and reassurance to ensure stability.

During this inspection, Duncan focused on checking the situation of the "subspace door" in the bilge and confirmed that the door was still closed.

This made him a lot more sure.

But corresponding to this "steadfastness" is a faint uneasiness pressed in the bottom of his heart: he still hasn't figured out how he slept in the bedroom last time and entered the "other side" of the door.

He entered the subspace in a daze, and stayed on another lost ship in the subspace for a long time, although he finally found a way to return safely, as long as he could not determine the mechanism of his own entry into the subspace, he could not completely settle down.

And the time when he entered the subspace was after the problem with Vision 001.

Something goes wrong with the "sun", a strange dream, and enters subspace, and the three things happen so closely that it's hard not to think about whether there is a hidden connection behind them.

Duncan stood in front of the captain's cabin, holding a lantern in one hand, and took a soft breath in the cold night breeze.

Perhaps it was because of this "uneasiness" that he conveyed a warning in his previous "dream exchange" with Vanna, although he was not sure how much his strange dream reflected reality, but after dealing with the transcendent vision so many times, he at least had an experience: ordinary people may be able to dream a dream, but he, the "Captain Duncan", dreamed...... Don't really take it as a dream.

All he could do now was hope that his warning would allow the Church of the Four Gods to focus more attention on Vision 001.

He knew he wasn't an expert in the otherworldly realm, and he couldn't even study the problems of Vision 001, but he could do it...... It's about attracting the real experts to the problem.

The warning from "Captain Duncan" is undoubtedly a reason to take many people seriously.

After gathering his thoughts, Duncan put his hand on the doorknob of the captain's room, but before he could open the door, he suddenly thought of something else.

The Abyss Project that Tirion had mentioned to him.

Duncan frowned slightly, thought for a while, and directly pushed open the "door of the landless".

A swirling fog appeared in the door frame.

He stepped into it.

After a short period of dizziness and a sense of dislocation in time and space, Zhou Ming opened his eyes and saw a familiar bachelor apartment, where everything was still business as usual.

He made up his mind, and the first thing he did was to check the windowsill, desk, etc., as usual, and make sure that nothing had changed here, and then he stepped to the end of the room.

On the modest shelves, the elaborate "models" of the Lost Country and Poland are still quietly in place.

Zhou Ming walked over, directly picked up the "model" representing Plant, and then held this "collection" that was neither light nor heavy in his hands to the desk not far away, and sat down to carefully observe its "base" structure.

He had never thought about it before this - it must be admitted that "under the city-state" was not only a blind spot for many people in this world, but even a blind spot for him.

All he saw was an extremely smooth underside.

Below sea level in the city-state of Plande, the corresponding part of the model comes to an abrupt halt, and its underside is smooth as if it had been cut off by a sharp blade.

Zhou Ming stared at the base of the model and fell into deep thought.

If it is a "model", this neat bottom is of course a normal situation, but he knows that this "collection" is not an ordinary model, it should be the "mapping" and "projection" of the real Poland in this room, and this thing is presented...... It should be the complete appearance of Prand!

Whatever beneath the city-state, whether it was an infinitely long pillar or a pancake-like base, it should have a structure, not just a screeching halt below the surface of the sea, as is the case now.

Is it because he didn't burn the city-state completely enough when he burned it with flames? Or is it because of ......

"Ignored" this part yourself?

Zhou Ming frowned slightly, his fingers unconsciously tapped the edge of the desk, and then he calmed down, put his hand on the model, and his spirit diffused little by little.

In the city-state of Plande, in the antique store, Duncan, who had just said goodnight to Nina and Shirley, silently walked back to the room, came to the window, and quietly looked out the window at the night scene of the neighborhood where the night lights were all over and the night was quiet.

As night wore on, almost all of the city-state's inhabitants had returned to their homes, and the streets were utterly silent, except for a few points of light that moved in the depths of the slightly darker alleys, the night watchmen and the glow of their lanterns.

Duncan closed his eyes slightly.

The entire city-state of Purland came to his mind in a clearer, more intuitive way.

Crowded residential areas, round-the-clock steam factories, quiet commercial districts, damp seaside streets, gas lamps on the side of the road, and piping systems across the city......

Somewhere in the city, a team of guardians is coming out of an alley, ready to check on the next gas and steam node.

The young team member with the lantern in his hand looked at the quiet street in front of him and muttered with some sighs: "It seems that tonight is peaceful again...... Seriously, I'm not used to this kind of quiet night. ”

"Don't let up," the squad leader glanced at his men, "anything can happen in the night, watch out for the darkest places." ”

"Yes, I understand," the team member quickly straightened up, but couldn't help but say again, "But don't you think these two days have been really peaceful?" I've heard that the city's recent night patrol records even have a ......"

A pale green glow suddenly flashed at the edge of the field of vision, causing the team member to subconsciously stop.

It seemed that the light emitted from the gas lamp in the distance changed instantly, but it was extremely short-lived, extremely secretive, and almost impossible to catch.

"Did you see anything flashing past you?" The team member subconsciously pressed his hand on the rune steel sword at his waist and whispered solemnly, "The gas lamp seems to have flashed. ”

"I see that your lantern seems to be flickering a little too." Another member of the team spoke up next.

The team members subconsciously set their eyes on the captain.

But the captain only frowned, as if thinking about something, and it took a few seconds for the veteran guard to shake his head: "Keep patrolling - just report the situation to the church when you get back." ”

The Guardian squad left the place.

Something similar is happening all over the city.

Green light and shadow floated through the flames, invisible gazes flashed in the darkness—Duncan's mind flowed through the city-state, and then gradually sank deeper into the city-state.

In that transcendent and clear "perception", Duncan allowed his consciousness to sink little by little, to explore the structure of the city-state beneath the surface of the sea.

In the apartment room, Zhou Ming suddenly opened his eyes.

A slight grinding sound came into my ears.

He picked up the "collection" in front of him and stared at the bottom of the city-state of Purland.

Crude and complex new structure...... It is "growing" a little bit at the bottom of this "model".
