Anyway, Shirley's brain was just a little bit of a break in the mind, but it eased the tension in the living room, even if it was almost taken in the other direction.

Duncan managed to control his expression with great difficulty, and then he ignored Shirley, who had almost shrunk herself into a ball and stuffed into the crack of the sofa after reacting, and said with a dry cough: "All in all, that's all we have now, the fog is still heavy, but it's clear that the Lost Country is already part of this vortex, which is different from the previous situation of Plant and Frost.

"Whatever happens next, I'm going to find out what this so-called Nameless Dream is all about, and what the purpose of the cultists is—especially the second one.

"Annihilation Cultists, Sun Cultists, and the Ultimate Missionaries hiding behind, no matter which one they are, if they can catch them alive, they will catch them alive, and if they can't catch them alive, they must find a way to gather as much information as possible when they come into contact...... The Nameless Dream will not just subside, it will certainly reappear, and as long as this vortex continues, we will inevitably continue to deal with the cultists. ”

Speaking of this, Duncan suddenly stopped, and then looked thoughtfully at Shirley, who was trying to reduce her presence on the sofa with her head down, and the dog lying next to Shirley.

Shirley instantly felt the gaze that fell on her, and the spirit raised her head suddenly: "I'm sorry Captain, I shouldn't have said that you are human......"

"Did you and Dog feel the breath of the fleeing Annihilation Cultist today?" Duncan waved his hand, interrupting the guy's reflexive chatter, "I remember you said that when you encountered the Nameless Dream before, Ah Dog left a 'mark' on that cultist. ”

"No," Shirley shook his head before the dog on the side could speak, "I've been keeping an eye on this today, but for now, that cultist doesn't seem to be in the Breeze. ”

"These heretics are hiding in the lairs of various city-states this time, relying only on entering the Dream of the Nameless to 'act in concert,' which really makes it difficult for us to catch them in the real world," Vana continued, "and to make matters worse, they have apparently mastered some of the 'laws' of the Dream of the Nameless, which makes it even more difficult to deal with them by allowing them to enter and exit that 'dream' freely." ”

Vanna's words made Duncan frown, this kind of situation that knew that the cultists were operating everywhere, but it was difficult to do it due to insufficient intelligence and the cunning of the opponent, and for Duncan, his troubles at the moment were even more than that-

He had successfully "caught" an Annihilation Cultist who had entered a dream, and even found a cult gathering den through the gaze of the Annihilation Cultist, but he was not able to expand the results of that time: the Dark Demon's keen perception and the fragile symbiotic ecology of the Annihilation Cultists caused those cultists to be unable to withstand his power at all, and before they could get much information, those guys simply died neatly.

Every time he recalled, he regretted it.

He regretted it for a while, and his eyes finally fell on Ah Gou.

"Is my power striking in your eyes?" He asked.

Ah Gou was startled by the captain's sudden words, and his head instantly drooped: "What are you asking...... Smart...... Still not eye-catching......"

"I want to know how to prevent the other Dark Demons from sensing my power," Duncan didn't care about Dog's reaction, but continued to ask very seriously, "Sometimes I can successfully leave my mark on the Annihilation Cultists, but the Dark Demons who live with them will soon perceive my power, and this has caused me trouble more than once. ”

"This ......" Ah Gou's tone suddenly became a little strange, "this is more difficult, the perception of the ghost demon itself is extremely keen, and the ghost demon other than me lacks reason, can only rely on instinct to move - to seek advantage and avoid harm, is their greatest instinct, in the face of great danger, it is their inevitable choice to abandon the symbiote and flee back to the deep sea, unless ......"

Duncan raised an eyebrow: "Unless?" ”

"Unless you completely cut off their symbiotic relationship, or control them before the demons react," Dog said as he thought about it, "the first option is almost impossible, because this symbiosis is irreversible, it will gradually transform the physiological structure of the demon symbiote, and after the initial stage is over, the act of severing the chains itself is enough to kill the symbiote."

"The second way...... There is a certain feasibility, but the difficulty of operation is not low, mainly because it needs to be prepared in advance, but different ghostly demons have different characteristics, and it is difficult to prepare a truly thorough and 'symptomatic' instantaneous control plan in advance......"

Ah Dog babbled a lot, and then it paused, as if thinking of something, and looked up at Duncan again: "But we don't have to catch the Annihilation Cultists, aren't there other cultists who are also active?" The Missionaries are not easy to catch, but the Suncultists are much simpler......"

Unconsciously, Ah Gou has subconsciously regarded those elusive cultists as the prey of "catch them on the spot", as if as long as the captain wants to catch them, no matter how much those cultists can hide, sooner or later they will fall into the hands of the captain.

Duncan, however, shook his head, "It's better to catch some of the Annihilationists." ”

"Huh?" Shirley next to her was stunned for a moment, "Why?" ”

Duncan thought for a moment and looked serious: "I'm useful." ”

Everyone was at a loss.

Seeing this, Duncan hesitated slightly, raised his hand and swiped lightly through the air.

The watery spirit fire rippled around him, filling the entire living room in the blink of an eye, and in the flames, a layer of invisible power infiltrated reality, blurring the boundary between reality and the spirit world, and Duncan's body quickly transformed into the form of a spirit body.

"Praise the name of Lachem—" Maurice prayed quickly without saying a word, and then blessed himself with a large mess of mental protection.

Vanna, who was next to her, also took out the Storm Amulet and a portable rosary from her bosom, and blessed herself while reciting Gomona's name.

A faint glow of the sun appeared in Nina's eyes, and she looked at her Uncle Duncan expectantly, while Ah Dog "snorted", and her figure disappeared into the shadows in an instant, Shirley reacted half a beat slower, and only had time to raise her hand to cover her ears: "Can I not listen to ...... later"

"I'm going to establish a connection with the Dark Lord—to harness the power of those who have annihilated the cultists."

Duncan's voice was accompanied by the crackling of flames, he said lightly, and then glanced at a few people around him helplessly: "As for you?" ”

Shirley put down the hand covering her ears: "...... My brain is buzzing. ”

"You're nervous," Duncan glanced at the guy, "I've got you covered, you don't have to be so nervous." ”

"There's no harm in being cautious," Morris said on the sofa opposite, with a calm expression, "Of course we believe in your power, but we are all fragile mortals after all, please understand......"

Vanna also nodded, agreeing with Morris's words, but then she was a little puzzled, and looked at Duncan: "But if that's all the case, you can just say it, this reason itself is not dangerous, and for us, occasionally mentioning the words of the Shadow Lord is not a big deal......

"Because this suggestion was given to me by the Lord of the Shadows himself," Duncan said casually, "He has established a connection with me in the depths of Alice's Mansion, and this suggestion itself is a ...... of its power to the real world."

As soon as he began to say this, Shirley had quickly raised her hand and pressed it on her ear, and after a crisp snap, she lowered her arm with a sad face: "Careless...... The brain is really buzzing. ”

Duncan looked at her expressionlessly, too lazy to speak.

And Lucrecia, who was sitting not far away, didn't react from the beginning - the witch lady watched the rapid development in front of her in amazement, her eyes kept up with every link, but her mind didn't keep up with any of them.

It took a few seconds for her to react consciously, and she looked at Vana and Morris in a daze: "You guys...... Looks very skilled......"

"The captain often communicates hard truths with us," Morris nodded reservedly, "and we have our own standard procedure for discussing these issues. ”

Lucrecia's expression was a little dazed, her gaze swept over the living room that looked weird and gloomy under the spiritual fire, and then finally realized what her father had just said, and immediately looked at Duncan, her eyes widened slightly: "Wait, you just said...... The Nether Lord has established contact with you, and He advises...... Suggesting you go and arrest His followers? ”

Duncan nodded: "I was also surprised, but that's the way it is. ”

Lucrecia thought about it, but didn't understand.

"The Witch of the Sea" is well-informed—but she really hasn't seen this.

But after all, someone at the scene was thinking rationally about the matter - after the initial astonishment, Morris quickly realized the astonishing amount of information behind this "suggestion".

He quickly checked the blessings and blessings on his body, and then confirmed to Duncan more information behind this "suggestion", confirming the details revealed during the communication between the Dark Lord and the captain.

Duncan finally had the opportunity to share the incredible thing with his followers, which he had wanted to tell for a long time, but the sudden arrival of the Nameless Dream delayed his plans.

After a long time, Duncan finally finished telling his story about his experience in the depths of Alice's mansion, and Maurice, who was sitting opposite, fell into deep thought.

“…… It's unbelievable that one of the most dangerous Old Gods in this world has his mind and is still giving you such an astonishing 'advice'......" The old gentleman muttered in contemplation, "If we can really establish a stable and safe connection with this Old God, then I am afraid we can really figure out some of the biggest puzzles in the world, and even ...... Really understand the birth of the deep sea age......"

Shirley scratched her hair: "So what? ”

Morris suddenly turned his head and looked into Shirley's eyes, and the old scholar, who always behaved elegantly and gently, had an awe-inspiring fire in his eyes at this moment-

"As the captain said, try to catch a few Annihilationists," he said, with a scholar's eagerness to peek into the truth, his eyes lit up, "and now the matter is about to rise to an academic perspective!" ”
