Chapter 481: Deeper in the Deep Sea
At that moment, a strange and chaotic perception suddenly mixed into Duncan's consciousness, just like the previous "spirit walking", he felt that his "perspective" suddenly split into two, and a new body became the new "ending" of his perception of the world, but ...... It's not the same feeling as before.
The new "perspective" was filled with disturbing and restless light streams, light and dark light and shadow permeated the water like some kind of scanning line, and he saw the "primordial land" shrouded in darkness in the distance, and also saw the countless humanoids floating around the land, and at the same time he saw the inconspicuous submersible - it hovered diagonally above the deep sea floating island, maintaining a forward angle, with pale light extending from its front and diffusing little by little in the seawater.
All of this, surrounded by uncertain light and shadow, he can "see" the glimmer and silhouette even where the submersible's searchlight cannot reach it - this is a new perspective.
Outside the porthole, in the deep sea, the shell that suddenly began to move slowly raised its arms and touched its own featureless head.
Of course, Duncan didn't touch his own eyes—the body he had just occupied had no such organs, in fact the body didn't even have formed hands and feet, and the bare ends of the limbs touched the flat, smooth face, and there was a strange touch of rough and sluggishness.
But suddenly, Duncan had a feeling...... He followed this feeling and manipulated his new body, reaching out his two arms and pressing the "face" of the body.
The black, muddy, flat face squirmed, and in a matter of seconds, the front of the face split into two eyes.
The vision suddenly became much clearer.
Duncan took control of the "rough" body with some rustiness, slowly swimming up to the submersible, looking inside with his newly grown eyes.
He looked at himself face to face, and the feeling was new and strange.
Agatha in the submersible couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah! ”
Then she reacted, and suddenly turned her head to look at Duncan, who was standing in front of the console: "You...... It kind of scared me. ”
"You should learn to adapt," Duncan said inside the submersible, keeping an eye on the condition of the machine, without looking back, "and the people around me are always a little bit of a fuss. ”
Agatha still had palpitations, still looking tense, her "gaze" swept quickly between Duncan and the "human form" outside the cabin several times, and there was only one thought in her mind—
There is a reason why the world is so afraid of Captain Duncan, and his understatement is too evil and terrifying in this endless deep sea.
But after hesitating for a long time, she still didn't dare to say the thoughts in her mind, so she could only change the topic stiffly: "...... What do you do next? ”
"This makeshift shell can see in the dark, and I'm going to keep looking ahead," Duncan said casually, as he began to pull a series of levers and cranks on the console, and as he moved, there was once again a difficult noise in the submersible's mechanical cabin, "As for this side...... We need to float some distance, and the machine is almost overwhelmed, and it can't stay at the extreme depth. ”
The submersible began to float slowly amidst the low roar of the pressurized water tank's difficult drainage, but Agatha still couldn't help but look out of the porthole, looking at the "humanoid" that was fading away in the light.
A faint ray of fire suddenly appeared in the water, and the shell that carried Captain Duncan's will waved its hand in this direction, and then turned around, and gradually sank into the darkness with the floating spirit flames.
Cold, dark, lonely, silent.
Duncan's consciousness gradually adjusted to the strange temporary shell, and he manipulated the body to turn, swim, move forward in the darkness, and move closer to the "frosty island" floating in the deep sea.
The light of the submersible was gone, and darkness once again dominated the deep sea, but the faint glow of the green spirit flame slowly spread in the water, and the faint light of the fire, combined with the strange perception of the body itself, allowed Duncan to always distinguish his surroundings and the direction in which he was heading.
All around him, countless humanoids floated in the icy waters.
Like a grotesque assembly, the rough blanks of "people" gather in all directions, far or near, stagnant and blind, and slightly undulating with the current, and the only one with eyes is walking through this silent and strange "crowd".
Duncan avoided touching the "humanoids" floating near him as much as possible, but he still inevitably passed them at a close distance.
Whenever he passed by them, he couldn't help but have some strange and terrifying associations - as if there were countless pairs of eyes here, countless souls waiting to wake up, looking curiously at his uninvited guest, and even reaching out to him at any moment.
But in the end nothing happened.
Those silent human forms are just silent, they have no heart and no soul, like empty puppets piled up in silt.
Duncan walked through these shells to a cliff on the edge of the "Deep Sea Floating Island".
He paused, observing the terrain in front of him.
This is supposed to be the "frosty" southeast coast, and in the world above the sea, there are ports, warehouses and customs offices near this coast, and there is a beautiful little church standing on the sea cliff, and the path leading to the church is lined with hardy trees, which are evergreen in winter.
Here, however, the rugged coast is covered only with bare stones, with an eerie black glow, like crude models that have not been painted.
Duncan raised his head and looked in the direction of the center of the deep floating island.
In the mix of darkness and glimmer, he could faintly see that there was some kind of massive structure there, like a mountain, or a giant pillar running through the island.
He thought of the scene that the other party showed him when he communicated with Martha before-
Countless minds that had fallen into the sea cast a glance toward the dark abyss on the eve of dissipation, and the common impression they had condensed in horror was that of a massive pillar running through a massive entity floating in the depths of the sea.
Now it seems that the huge entity presented in that illusion is the frost "primordial blueprint" in front of us today, but what about the giant pillar that runs through the island? Is it a ghostly Lord who has "invaded" the real world? Or ...... The so-called fake?
Duncan thought for a moment, got up and swam towards the "pillar", but had only swam a short distance before he stopped again, feeling a little distressed in his heart.
It's too far, that's the distance you need to cross half a city-state.
Looking at the mountains and running dead horses - let alone in this deep sea where it is difficult to move.
Even if this body is not affected by the weight of the deep sea, it is really time-consuming and laborious to swim all the way through it.
Duncan pondered, and a thought gradually popped into his mind.
Then he hesitated for a few seconds before slowly raising an arm in the sea with the mindset of trying it out, and swung it slightly.
The green flames spread out as he moved, and in the blink of an eye they converged into a revolving door, and when the door opened, a skeletal bird covered in raging flames rushed out of it, and shouted loudly around Duncan:
"Who's calling the fleet! Teleportation successful! Teleportation successful! Open the door and send the courier! ”
Duncan's eyes widened in disbelief.
Ay flapped her wings beside him, and in the depths of the ocean, where hundreds of millions of tons of seawater weighed, it still fluttered as easily as it flew in the sky, and its distinctive, high-pitched female voice seemed to be as noisy as ever, as if it could penetrate directly into the human mind.
The deep-sea environment doesn't seem to exist for Aeil!
Duncan originally just wanted to try it out, wanting to summon Ay over to see if it could be of any use, after all, this pigeon's "teleportation" ability has shown incredible effectiveness many times, but this is a deep sea completely different from the surface after all, and he is ready to teleport Ay back to the ship as soon as he can't adapt to the environment, but what happened in front of him ...... It was completely beyond his expectations.
He watched in amazement as the pigeon flew around him as if it were flying in the air, babbling as it shuttled through the sea like a projection unaffected by the environment, and was stunned for a long time before reaching out his hand to intercept the bird.
Ay obediently landed on Duncan's arm and tilted his head curiously: "What are you doing, what are you doing?" ”
Duncan was about to speak, but suddenly realized that his body didn't seem to have a mouth, and even if he did, he didn't know how to speak directly in the deep sea, so he concentrated his mind and tried to convey his thoughts to the pigeon spirit—
"This is the deep sea, do you feel any discomfort?"
He looked into Say's eyes, guessing if the other would understand what he meant, expecting his answer.
Ay tilted her head again.
"GG, you're surfing too!" The bird suddenly flapped its wings excitedly, and dots of dark green fire scattered from between its bone wings, "Tianyi 3G, too fast, Tianyi 3G, too fast!" ”
Duncan's eyes changed slightly, and he listened thoughtfully to the dove's noise, and did not speak for a long time.
Until Ay himself gradually quieted down and pecked his arm curiously: "The app is not responding? ”
Duncan woke up from his thoughts, and his thoughts quickly returned to the matter in front of him.
There's still business to be done.
He raised his head and looked at the distant and chaotic darkness in the distance, and once again concentrated his energy, trying to pass on his orders to the pigeon spirit beside him—
"Take me to that place."
"Instruction received! Instruction received! Ay reacted quickly, as usual, flapping its wings excitedly, causing flames to rise in all directions, "Mission must be accomplished!" ”
(When the book was pushed, a book with a very cursive title at the beginning, the title of the book was "Dahan Zhongliang Cao Mengde", I thought that I had to take a look at the name just by looking at it.) Here's a brief summary of the author's own recommendations:
Cao Cao swore that he would fulfill the last wish of Xuande's virtuous brother. It doesn't matter if Zhuge Liang doesn't do it, after all, he is a prime minister, and I am also a prime minister. Instead, this matter, even if he is loyal and good, he will do his last heart for the Han. )
