Deep Sea Embers

Seeing Shirley walking toward him with murderous intent, Duncan couldn't help but sigh, thinking that this trouble would eventually fall on him.

He wasn't very nervous, although to be fair, he knew that he had almost no combat experience, and the girl in front of him looked like a strong woman who could go in and out of Changban Slope, but he didn't panic at all.

First of all, he has a pigeon that is good at delayed killing. Ai Yi's ability takes effect instantly within the area of ​​influence, and it is faster to activate than grabbing. If Shirley really tries to hit the dog, she will be defeated by the pigeon in mid-air with high PG, and then Died by lost bag.

Secondly, he controls the spiritual flame that has miraculous effects on all supernatural things. This fire can even be controlled by the Lost Home. The deep hound in front of him is not more difficult to deal with than the bunch of monsters and monsters on the Lost Home, right? At most, there is a flame possessing the whole body, and then this is his area of ​​expertise: Girl, I think you, the dog, are destined to me...

Finally, and the most important point - this body is not his true body anyway.

What he is using at this moment is just an avatar. Although from a physiological point of view, this avatar seems to be alive, in essence "it" is still just a corpse driven by ghost power. Duncan does not need this body to maintain physiology. Complete to drive its activities, just like the "incarnation" in the sewer that lost its heart and was still able to move, he only needs this body to "exist" so that he can continue to use it.

He even suspected that even if his current incarnation was torn into pieces, he could still control it to go home in batches...

The only thing I have to worry about is that if I am hit by a meteor hound from Shirley and my whole body is broken, how will I explain to Nina about her uncle's amazing skeleton when I get back...

He just stood here calmly, watching the girl in a black dress come to him, watching the black chain in her hand swinging in the air, while the strange and terrifying deep hound moved with elusive steps. He slowly followed his master's pace.

Due to a fierce battle before, the girl's arms and cheeks were stained with a lot of blood, which completely destroyed the quiet and well-behaved feeling she gave people at the beginning, and instead made her look weird and dangerous.

"You're not afraid. It's really weird." Shirley stopped two or three meters in front of Duncan. She frowned and looked at the "Sun Cultist" in front of her. At the same time, she slowly raised her right hand calmly, "Yes. Have you given up resistance?"

Duncan thought for a while: "I want to say that I am not with them. Do you believe it?"

As he spoke, he quietly rubbed his fingers in his pocket, letting the illusory spiritual flames slowly swim between his clothes and skin to prevent the girl from hitting someone with a dog if she disagreed.

Shirley was startled for a moment, and her blood-stained face slowly showed an expression of "You're fucking kidding me": "You think I..."

Before she finished speaking, the mysterious hound beside her suddenly spoke human words, and a hoarse and low voice came out from the bones of his throat: "I believe it."

"Ah...ah?" Shirley looked at her summoned object in shock, "Agou, did you just hit your brain? This..."

"Wait a moment," the deep hound shook his head, then walked to the side under Duncan's blank gaze, stretched his neck, "Ugh——"

The extremely loud sound of vomiting echoed in the blood-stained basement. This terrifying demon from the deep sea turned upside down on the spot, vomiting out countless pungent black flames, ashes and acid-like black dirt. The reinforced concrete floor It was corroded by those pollutants and hissed, and it was dented in the blink of an eye.

Duncan watched this scene expressionlessly, wondering if he had grasped the shortcomings of this "Shirley"'s combat effectiveness - although this girl was strong, ruthless, and had a weird and difficult fighting style, she was obviously not good at it. Fight for a long time.

The key lies in her style of play, which can be tolerated by humans but not by dogs.

The atmosphere at the scene was so awkward for two or three minutes. When the vomiting of the deep hound finally calmed down, Duncan couldn't help but glance at it: "...are you okay?"

The dog immediately lowered its head and clamped its coiled tail tightly under its crotch: "Thank you for your concern. I hope my rudeness has not stained your eyes. Do you think you have any other orders? If nothing else, let's go first. gone……"

Before Duncan even realized what was going on with the dog, Shirley exclaimed: "Agou, are you really okay? I really broke your head just now?! You usually don't talk so politely to humans. No one standing opposite you can save his mother after ten seconds..."

Duncan had vaguely reacted at this moment. He suddenly looked at the ferocious and terrifying looking deep hound, his eyes became deep.

According to the few words I just heard from the Sun Priest, the "giant dog" in front of me is actually some kind of demon summoned from the deep sea. Regardless of what the so-called Annihilation Sect is, nor what the hell is in the deep sea. There are all these strange things, why can dogs be summoned? One thing is at least obvious:

This "dog" is afraid of himself, this demon from the deep sea. It... probably has a different "vision" from ordinary humans.

"Do you know who I am?" Duncan said calmly, "Do you know me?"

"I don't know, I don't know," the deep hound didn't even raise his head, "I really don't know... but you must be a big shot, there is no doubt about it..."

Duncan frowned and asked again: "In your eyes, I don't look like a human being, right?"

The Deep Hound hesitated for a moment. It looked up at Duncan with caution, and then said hesitantly: "Are you... like... or not..."

Duncan withdrew his gaze and looked at Shirley aside.

The girl in the black skirt was looking here in confusion - she finally put away her initial hostility and was replaced by a look of deep surprise and alertness.

This girl's character seems a bit reckless, but she is obviously not an idiot. After her "pet dog" continuously showed such abnormal reactions, even the most reckless character will calm down at this time and start to realize that something is wrong. .

While she quietly tightened the chain with the Deep Hound, she quietly took a half step back and looked at Duncan carefully: "You just said you were not with them..."

"Yes," Duncan spread his hands, "You may not believe it, but I also sneaked in to get information..."

"I believe it." Shirley said simply.

This time it was Duncan's turn to be a little surprised. He suddenly discovered that the impression this girl gave him had been changing. At first, he thought she was a quiet and well-behaved child from the outside, but in the end she showed a violent and bloody side. Just now, he thought that the other party was a reckless person, but now she was able to take advantage of the situation and give in faster than he thought...

What kind of family is this that can raise such a child?

Weird thoughts were swirling in his mind, and Duncan was also a little overwhelmed by the other party's overly straightforward attitude. He calmed down before asking the question: "Why did you look at me twice in a row during the assembly just now?"

"Agou has been paying attention to you," Shirley answered a little reluctantly, but still cooperated honestly, "I just took a look out of curiosity..."

"Agou? Is this it?" Duncan frowned and glanced at the dark skeleton hound, "I just heard the priest mention the Annihilation Sect - this is a church that worships the deep sea? Do you have anything to do with this Annihilation Sect? what relationship?"

"I have nothing to do with them!" Shirley said immediately, with a particularly emphatic tone, "It's their business to worship the deep sea. Agou and I met for other reasons!"

Duncan's eyes fell on the chain between the girl and the ghost hound.

According to the information just obtained, worshiping the deep sea, being able to summon demons from the deep sea, and borrowing the power of demons to use "magic spells" to fight under normal circumstances seems to be the characteristics of the "Annihilation Sect". The sun priest also It was precisely because of the ghost hound summoned by Shirley that he made this judgment. Although he suffered a heavy blow from the flying dog meteor hammer because of his misjudgment, Duncan believed that, at least under "normal circumstances", this information It should be no problem.

The problem is just this weird girl in front of me.

She seems very resistant to being associated with cultists - even though she owns a hound from the deep sea.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter," Duncan shook his head and asked, "Then why are you here, and what are you investigating?"

Shirley pursed her lips. She didn't seem to want to answer the question. However, the nervous signals constantly released by the hound next to her made her understand that the ordinary-looking middle-aged man in front of her might be extremely dangerous, and it was best for her to cooperate. other side.

"I……"

Shirley opened her mouth, but the moment she opened her mouth, a blast suddenly exploded in the basement, and a blazing fireball suddenly flew over from the side!
