Chapter 456: The Blessed One (?) )
Noticing the seriousness of Duncan's words, many associations and speculations subconsciously occurred in Fanna's mind—but the next second, she forcibly controlled her thoughts, and nodded solemnly with Morris.
Controlling one's curiosity is the basic rule of survival in this world.
Confirming that Morris and Vanna were aware of the seriousness of the matter, Duncan exhaled, and then nodded to Alice next to him: "Clean up this pile of things on the table, go down, don't pour it into the sea, just burn it." ”
Watching Alice quickly clean up the mess on the table, Duncan sat back in his chair, but in his mind, he still remembered what he had seen in "that strange dark space" and thought about the information revealed in those "conversations".
At the same time, he was also thinking about how to reconnect with that dark space.
Manuscripts cannot carry the impact of the "truth...... So where would this "blasphemous book" be? If you get the original, will you be able to establish a stable connection with that strange dark space? Or...... Is there any other otherworldly item that can achieve a similar effect?
Deng Qing recalled the experience of falling asleep on the Lost Country before, but then strayed into another Lost Country in subspace - behind the door of the captain's room of the other Lost Country was the strange dark space.
So he boldly guessed: "Dark Space" itself should be
A "place" that actually exists in the subspace, and to establish a connection with it requires a certain medium and skill, and the manuscripts that Morris brought with him "helped him establish that connection, but... ..... it doesn't—
It must be the only "medium" available, if it can be found again
The way to "another Lost Ship" may also work.
Way...... Subspace?
Duncan frowned, and immediately restrained his thoughts of diverging back to "this direction".
Because it is not certain whether this thought is his own, or whether it was "released" to him by subspace.
But one thing is clear.
I need more "samples" - whether it's the Golden Mask of the Suncultists, or the Seclasphemy Manuscript of the Annihilationists, or whatever the Preacher of the End, you can do it
It helps him understand the truth of this world.
Thinking of this, Duncan immediately raised his head and looked at Morris and Vanna opposite: "Do you know where to get more similar items?" I mean, like this 'book of blasphemy,' the kind of thing that cultists use for great rituals and missions. ”
"You want more?" Maurice was taken aback, then thought about it seriously and shook his head, "This... It's hard, I'm afraid. Although cult items are often seized by the Orthodox Church and city-state authorities, they are usually destroyed after the necessary identification and research, regardless of their specificity and value.
Duncan raised his eyebrows: "Destroy it directly?" Leave no samples? "Leave no sample, only information," replied him, and in the relevant territory, the inquisitor lady was obvious
Morris was more professional, "there are some things that are so dangerous that even the materials are left behind", leaving only some descriptive texts that have been 'translated' and 'safeguarded', and are kept in special archives", and even only in the memories of some 'keepers'.
Speaking of this, she paused, and further explained: "Because the truly powerful cult items are basically equally dangerous and polluting, plus they directly point to" heretical gods, this danger and pollution will gradually increase over time, and we often can't predict how much harm they can cause, so the safest thing to do is to leave nothing behind. And ......"
"And people's hearts are unpredictable, not to mention that even the strongest defenders have times when their weaknesses are exposed." Maurice saw that Vana hesitated, and took the initiative to take over, "The guards who guard the desecrated objects will be bewitched, and will change subtly, and sometimes even they themselves do not know that they have fallen - in 1666, the Saints of the city-state of Moko talked to the forbidden book they guarded in the Phantom Party, which led to the activation of the book, and finally the accident of the tragic death of dozens of people, and since then, the city-states have no more samples of the heretical objects confiscated."
Vanna sighed, "In some senses, heretical items are more dangerous than anomalies' - because no matter how high-ranking anomalies are, as long as they master the laws of sealing, they are heretical things... …… Sometimes they don't even know what's going to come out of it. ”
"Good
Well, Duncan rubbed his forehead, "I don't think we can expect to get a sample from the city-state..... You still have to find wild cultists to kill them on the spot. ”
Listening to the captain's words, the corners of Vanna's mouth twitched, and then hesitated: "If you are really interested, I can find a way to borrow some materials from the cathedral, although the corresponding items have been destroyed, there are still safe research materials."
If you can, help me find some information. Duncan nodded.
However, he felt that the information should not be of much help to him, because he did not want the information, but the right "medium" from the heretical objects.
The blasphemous book just now has proved that the same transcendent object may not be the same "gesture" in his eyes as it appears in the eyes of ordinary people, and the knowledge recorded by the scholars of the Orthodox Church is probably not useful to him.
But in any case, it never hurts to add some knowledge in the transcendent realm.
only
At that moment, a loud noise from the captain's room suddenly interrupted the communication between Duncan and Vanna.
It sounds like Shirley and Dog-Lu's noisy movements.
Duncan frowned: "Open the door." ”
Alice immediately ran over and opened the door to the captain's room, and then she saw that Shirley and Dog, who had just run to the door, "Hey, don't make a lot of noise on the ship........"
"Hey, I know, I know, but there's something important!" Shirley yelled at the door, her petite body squeezing in directly next to Alice, "Captain, Captain!" "Evil!" It says it sees,
What a wicked thing! ”
"Dog...... "Duncan looked at the ghostly hound who was being dragged in by Shirley with a puzzled face, "It's a ghostly demon, can it still be evil?" ”
Maurice and Fanna next to him also had expressions of "which of your evil things are evil", but the dog who was dragged in got up suddenly, looking really nervous and frightened: "Really,
I've seen that thing twice in a row! When I was reading a book, it suddenly came out of my mind, and I stared directly at the level of consciousness
……”
"When you're reading?" Duncan frowned when he heard this, "What's the fuss about, isn't it often like this on the ship, Nina is boiling several times a day when she is in a hurry..." …”
"It's not my fellows!" Ah Dog suddenly shook its huge dog head, looking a little anxious, "It's not a shadow of the spirit world or any other evil spirit, it's a thing I haven't seen before—that thing appears directly in my 'consciousness', like a bunch of weird-looking lights, there is a big one in the middle, glowing red, and there is a small one around, just like the 'starry sky' between the spirit world and the darkness—, and the dots of light surround the red light source in the middle-"
As soon as the dog was chattering, he was halfway through when Morris suddenly took two steps forward: 'What did you say? What do you see?! ”
It's the first time for Ah Gou to see that this elegant and calm old scholar has this reaction, and he was immediately startled, and subconsciously shrunk his neck: "Uh...... A large red luminous body, surrounded by a heap of flickering points of light......"
Morris listened dumbfounded, and confirmed the details with Ah Dog several times before finally raising his head.
The old scholar's face was "full" of astonishment and confusion, as if the worldview he had built up for half a lifetime had suddenly been hammered into a hole
Speechless.
Vana on the side had already reacted, the muscles on her face trembled twice, and she hesitated to turn to Morris: "That sounds.... How is it a bit like .....
"The gaze of the god of wisdom, Rahm...... Morris muttered to himself, and then looked down at Ah Dog, as if looking at a rare antique that had just been excavated from the ground, "You are under the gaze of the god of wisdom? ”
There was a sudden silence in the captain's cabin.
After a long time, Ah Gou raised his head blankly: ........ What do you say? ”
Duncan didn't care about the dog's reaction, but frowned and glanced at Morris: "Are you sure?" ”
"There is no other explanation unless the dog is lying," said Morris at once, "and it describes the image that is formed in the mind of the 'blessed one' when the god of wisdom descends to gaze,
I have also seen that every believer who follows Lahem will be familiar with this. ”
Duncan fell silent.
It was a long time before he looked at the gloomy demon who was lying on the floor in a circle.
"What did you do when you saw that scene?"
"When brushing up on the questions," Ah Gou said honestly, once it will be geometry, and once it will be algebra. ”
Duncan: He didn't say anything
, just continued to look at Ah Dog quietly, looking at the other party's ugly and huge ...... Dog head.
