MTL - Deep Sea Embers-Chapter 51 two-wire operation

This world has experienced astonishing historical changes. With the "Great Annihilation" as a node, the entire world and even the basic laws have ushered in an earth-shaking change, so that the deep-sea era after the Great Annihilation and the era of order before the Great Annihilation can almost be regarded as two very different "worlds".

But even so, there are still people who persist in sorting out the historical materials that have been passed down since the annihilation, and try to sort out the true appearance of history from the fragmented and even contradictory files of various city-states.

Unfortunately, perhaps because the inheritance was cut off too thoroughly, or because the contradictions in the records of various city-states were too chaotic, people have yet to find a more complete and credible historical record before the Great Annihilation.

No one knows what the world looked like in the Age of Order.

But fortunately, the world since the ancient kingdom of Crete has a relatively clear historical heritage. Although city-states rise and fall on the boundless sea, they divide and combine, but at least the continuation of civilization itself has never been cut off. Memories of ancient kingdoms are either preserved in scrolls, carved on boulders, or passed down from generation to generation in ancient and secret families and associations.

Scholars believe that more than half of the credit for the inheritance of civilization in the Deep Sea Age can continue to this day under extremely unfavorable conditions should be attributed to the miracle that illuminated the world:

Vision 001, the sun.

This is the vision with the greatest influence and power known to mankind - in fact, because of its size and its "natural" existence, many scholars are debating whether the sun itself is a vision or a natural phenomenon phenomenon, but the first batch of recorders after the collapse of the ancient kingdom of Crete, that is, the survivors of the ancient kingdom, referred to it as vision 001, and this ancient number has been passed down like this, and it has not changed to this day.

Obviously, not all visions are terrifying and harmful. Vision 001 brings safety to the world for half of the time. During the day when the sun shines, almost all pollution from the depths of the world will be suppressed below sea level. , and it is with such a stable daytime existence that each city-state civilization is possible to develop to today.

According to the information left by the ancient kingdom of Crete, after the opening of the deep sea era, before the appearance of Vision 001, for a whole century, the whole world was shrouded in night - the creation of the world is cold and dark. The light has illuminated the boundless sea for a hundred years.

That's why the people of the Old Kingdom called their country "Eternal Night", and even called the era in which they lived.

Duncan stood at the narrow window, looking thoughtfully at the sunlit world.

The world before the Great Annihilation... what was it like?

Did the sun ever shine on all things in this world before the dreadful hundred years of eternal night?

I think so, because no matter how many gaps and contradictions the ancient records of each city-state may have, there is one thing in common: the era of order is a bright, safe and prosperous era.

But in any case, that prosperous and bright era has passed, and now the boundless sea is illuminated by Vision 001. The world knows this and is grateful for the day brought by Vision 001.

Therefore, in the context of such an era, those cultists who worship the ancient "real sun" and even attack the sun like today's sun and call it a "pseudo-sun" will appear extraordinarily paranoid and distorted, and are regarded by the world as Not allowed.

They are not just attacking the sun in the sky, they are attacking the reliance on which human civilization struggled to survive in the deep-sea era until today.

But Duncan knew that the sun worshipped by the group of cultists... is very likely to be the true appearance of the sun that existed before the Great Annihilation.

From a certain point of view, that group of cultists has a part of the real history - unfortunately, that real history has become the source of distortion for them in this era.

Duncan doesn't think that the cultists' ambitions can be realized, nor does he think that they can really create a burning fusion star by sacrificing living people. The distortion of this world is far beyond imagination, and the deep sea age presents this appearance. , is not explained by just the loss of stars.

In the night sky here, there is not even a single star.

Duncan returned to the room, closed the door, beckoned to the cabinet next to him, and greeted Ai Yin, who was rubbing his mouth against the cabinet.

The pigeon landed on his shoulder and tilted his head: "Who is calling the fleet?"

Duncan ignored the bird, but walked to the bed and found the sun emblem that he had hidden before in the corner of the bed. Then he thought about it, went to the cabinet again, opened the door and found the drawer for storing spirits, Take two bottles of spirits out of it.

There seemed to be something stuck on the bottle. Duncan turned the bottle curiously and saw that it was a small note with Nina's handwriting on it: "Drink less wine."

The note appears to have been posted a long time ago.

There is one sticker on each bottle of wine, and each one has no effect.

Duncan smiled, closed the drawers and cabinets, returned to the bed with two bottles of wine and the sun emblem, and poked Ai Yin again to let him see what he was holding.

"Try taking them on the Lost Land if you can."

The pigeon immediately flapped its wings and made a smug voice: "Dear, SF Express provides free shipping!"

Duncan nodded, laying himself down in a comfortable position, and began to prepare for the shuttle.

He had been away from Homeless for too long, and although the ship wouldn't have anything to do with it if he didn't look at it, he, the captain, couldn't keep himself in the room all the time.

Nina is going to school in the afternoon. There are other things after the class. It will be very late. Duncan has discussed with her that she should stay in the school dormitory for another night today and come back after school tomorrow afternoon.

During this time, Duncan happened to study the details of the spiritual world shuttle, and at the same time, according to his previous conception, to test whether he could control the physical activities of both sides at the same time without completely cutting off the soul projection.

Based on my perception of Homeless when I was "over here", this should be feasible.

When occupying this "fresh" body, the connection between himself and the Homeless body was significantly stronger and more stable, which gave him confidence and inspiration.

The calculation in his heart slowly settled down, Duncan let out a light breath, a faint green flame burned on his shoulders, and with the crackling sound, the pigeon Ai Yin changed into the form of an undead bird in the blink of an eye, and the flames on his chest. The brass compass also snapped open.

Boundless darkness, glowing lines, twinkling stars—familiar sensations flooded in, and the path back to Homeless was the brightest "course" in this darkness.

Duncan's consciousness quickly shuttled along this route, and in the blink of an eye, he felt that his main consciousness had awakened in the captain's quarters of the Homeless.

But before he completely escaped from that dark space, he used his control over the fire of the spirit body and his own soul to force a "brake" to try to preserve the connection between himself and the "antique shop"...

Homeless, in the captain's quarters, Duncan slowly opened his eyes.

He looked down at his hands, and then looked around. He saw familiar furnishings, and heard the familiar sound of waves.

He slowly got up from the chair, but in the depths of his consciousness, the touch of another body came clearly!

A smile slowly appeared on Duncan's face, and then according to his own understanding, he began to try to perceive and control his other body in the antique store through that distant connection.

He tried several times.

In the city-state of Prand, on the second floor of Duncan Antique Store, the "Antique Store Manager" who was lying quietly on the bed suddenly opened his eyes!

The next second, the body lying on the bed turned its head a little bit with a stiff expression, looking around the room like a zombie, and then slowly moved its hands and feet, as if forcibly controlling a rusty machine. , let your limbs start moving.

If this scene were seen by outsiders, I am afraid that on the spot, they would be so frightened that they would go to the nearby sheriff to report that someone here was possessed by evil spirits.

Looking at it from another angle, it seems that there is nothing wrong with such a report?

Duncan in the Captain's Room of the Lost Homes, while running these bizarre thoughts in his mind, used a "remote perspective" to remotely control the body and began to move slowly.

It's tough, and it's harder than having a novice manipulating a twenty-eight-joint marionette with just a few remote connections to direct physical activity without the consciousness inside the body.

But after many attempts, he still managed to get the body in the Prand city-state to sit up from the bed!

In the next second, the picture from the remote in his mind suddenly turned around.

The body fell to the floor...

Duncan sighed. "Well, looks like I'll have to practice for a long time."
