MTL - Deep Sea Embers-Chapter 70 one's own

In a world where there are extraordinary visions, the land is blocked by an endless ocean, and the guardians and anomalies in the city-state are in endless battles, how do ordinary people survive?

Duncan still lacked understanding of the city-state, but at least where he saw it, ordinary people in this world were still living in an environment of order and stability—

They work, study, rest, they run shops, they communicate with each other, they go out on their days off, to cinemas and restaurants, to parks and ports, they visit museums, and they gossip with their neighbors after dinner—they live Not very exciting, but usually a very stable life.

The steam engine-driven bus stops and goes, sometimes at the platform, sometimes on the side of the road, passengers come up at any time, and passengers leave at any time, the silent driver will occasionally say a few words to the conductor , but was driving most of the time, and the young conductor looked up at the roof from time to time—she seemed to be still thinking about the pigeon.

Duncan sat in his seat, observing everything around him with curiosity, watching the lives of ordinary people.

It seems that apart from the need to understand the anomalies and visions that exist in the world, and to follow this knowledge as a "safety code", the lives of these ordinary people are not much different from what he sees on Earth.

When approaching the Cross Street, the bus stopped again, this time at the platform where many passengers boarded.

Duncan looked curiously at the scenery on the platform, at the chimneys that stood in the distance and the steam pipes that crisscrossed the buildings, but suddenly, he vaguely felt an unusual heat rising near his chest.

That heat came from the sun badge that was hidden by him!

Duncan, who was admiring the scenery, froze for a moment, and subconsciously touched the position where the badge was hidden. In the next second, he felt that the badge was not only heating, but also trembling slightly.

He didn't know what was going on, but it was clear that the badge was resonating with something nearby - through the connection that had been established between himself and the badge, he sensed the source of this resonance rusty, and the next second, his eyes Then he locked a figure outside the car window who was walking quickly through the crowd.

The figure was wearing a black coat and looked like an ordinary passerby, but the "pointing sense" from the sun badge definitely pointed to that figure!

Duncan immediately stood up from his seat and walked quickly towards the door of the car, and just as he thought about it, the pigeon Ai Yin also received instructions, flapped its wings and flew off the roof of the car, landing on him. on the shoulders.

The conductor standing near the car door watched this scene in surprise, and only whispered after Duncan got out of the car: "How did this pigeon get trained..."

But then this little episode in daily life disappeared from the conductor's attention, she turned to look at the passengers who just got on the bus: "Come here to buy tickets... Children have to buy tickets too, why is this? It's over one meter one... Four years old? No matter how you look at it, it can't be four years old, and if you cross the line, you will get a full ticket!"

At this moment, Duncan had already entered the crowd. He walked quickly through the platform and intersection with dense passers-by, tracking the figure in the black coat.

The man in black walked very fast, and in the afternoon, the dense crowd of people on the side of the road made it easy for him to avoid the search. In fact, after only a few minutes, the figure had already left Duncan's field of vision.

However, the resonance of the sun badge is still there, and the "pointing sense" from the depths of the badge has always pointed Duncan in the right direction.

Duncan thought quickly as he continued to follow the directions of the sun badge.

There is no doubt that the man in black is very suspicious. This badge must have sensed something before it suddenly reacts... Perhaps, it sensed the same source of power from the "true sun god".

From the goat head, he already knew that this badge has the function of identifying compatriots and guiding the "blessing of the sun", but under normal circumstances only the believers of the sun **** can use these functions or perceive the guiding effect of the badge.

Duncan used the fire of the spirit body to usurp the control of the badge, but at that time he thought that his flame also destroyed most of the badge's ability, but now it seems... the recognition ability of this badge is still there!

It's just that this recognition ability is now used by myself...

Under the guidance of the badge, he gradually left the main road that was densely populated by passers-by, and after three detours, he gradually walked into the deserted pedestrian road.

He saw the suspicious figure again—the figure was walking quickly through the intersection ahead, and he didn't seem to notice that there was a stalker behind him.

Vaguely, Duncan felt that the badge on his chest became a little hotter than before, and the resonance from it became clearer and stronger.

Duncan quietly drove the fire of the spiritual body, read the information from the sun badge, and a large number of "perceptions" with clear direction immediately entered his mind.

This feeling is very subtle - although the sun badge does not have the characteristic of thinking, Duncan can feel that the badge is excited and excited to convey a message to himself, telling himself that this person who does not believe in the sun god, where other believers are.

He even wanted to remind this badge to be a little reserved—at least it was a sacred relic of the Sun God not long ago, so the party leading the way wouldn't be excited like a hand warmer at this time.

At the same time, he was more and more certain that he was approaching a secret meeting place where many sun **** believers gathered.

As he expected, more "sun heretics" gathered in the dark corners of the city-state, and the group of people who had been killed in the sewers before was just a part of these cockroach-like cultists.

He didn't know what these cultists wanted to do, but he knew that these cultists must know more about ancient history, sun beliefs, and the Era of Order than Nina's teachers.

In order to understand the deeper secrets of this world, it is necessary to contact the forces of the supernatural realm. It is difficult for the church and city-state authorities to approach through normal means, but the cultists are much simpler - just get along with them.

Or just mash them together.

Duncan was thinking so, when he stopped suddenly.

He has come to the end of a path, and the sneaky man in black has just got into a nearby intersection. The signal from the sun badge is clear and strong, and no passers-by can be seen nearby.

Through the sun badge, he sensed that there were more "compatriot signals" approaching his position.

Duncan silently pulled up the lapel of his jacket, covering half of his face in the collar—and almost the second he did so, he heard footsteps in the shadows of nearby buildings.

One figure after another appeared.

It was a dozen people, dressed like ordinary citizens - after all, no cultists would walk around in a robe in broad daylight, just like a normal assassin shouldn't wear a thief's conspicuous white hood. Go live on the streets of the city.

Only the constant heat and directional signals from the sun badge convinced him that one of these guys coming out of the surroundings was a follower of the real sun god.

Duncan raised his head, looked at the intersection at the end, and saw that the man in black who had been tracked by him was also there. The man whispered something to his companion before looking up here.

"This is private territory, what are you sneaking to follow?" the tall and thin man said, and he seemed to be trying to create a feeling of "there are ordinary citizens here, you are sneaky and suspicious." Because he didn't know the details of Duncan's stalker, he neither acted rashly nor relaxed his vigilance.

Duncan muttered to himself that this layman is not suitable for the professional work of tracking, and at the same time, he was also curious about what these cultists were going to do with their tracker if they pretended to be stupid - they were planning to pretend to be a group of dedicated and dedicated people. Did the evil forces scare them away, or did they plan to diligently develop the cult business, tying themselves up and giving their sun **** a meal?

"Didn't you hear it?" The tall, thin man frowned and said impatiently. At the same time as his voice fell, the figures around him took half a step forward quietly, forming a faint siege. "I'm asking you something..."

Duncan shrugged, took out the sun talisman from his arms, and said sincerely, "My own."

Let's make it a piece first, maybe there are too many words.

If they don't believe it, mingle.
