There are some things that are destined not to be discussed in front of Nina.
Listening to the scene described by Agou, Duncan's heart skipped a beat.
There are ashes floating around dis...a lot of ashes...what does this mean?
In that factory shrouded by a curtain, there are hidden ashes everywhere. The ashes are traces of the flames that once burned. They are proof that the fire once existed. They symbolize things that have been destroyed. So the ashes around Nina …
He raised his head and looked at the stairs leading to the second floor.
Nina is busy in the kitchen on the second floor. The sound of her cooking can be vaguely heard from here. The sound of the kitchen utensils clashing seems very brisk. The optimistic girl has experienced a lot today, but she still maintains a good mood at the moment.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at Shirley sitting opposite him.
"So, after Agou told you that it had found a very suspicious target, you tried to sneak into the school and tried to find clues around Nina. At the same time, you also began to approach those who were active in the city. Sun cultists, trying to find clues in them to unlock the secret of the fire eleven years ago..."
Shirley nodded gently:
"yes."
"I guess what you are looking for is not actually sun fragments, right?"
"What's the point of looking for sun fragments?" Shirley asked, "Find a flame and then ask why it burns. What I'm looking for...is the person who set the fire."
"This is not an ordinary fire," Duncan looked into Shirley's eyes quietly. "If it were really a fragment of the sun... its power would be more than enough to burn down a factory. Shirley, you are doing something very special. Very dangerous thing.”
"Don't be angry if I tell the truth." Shirley thought for a moment and lowered her head honestly, "I feel like sitting in front of you
It’s dangerous enough…”
"Haha, probably," Duncan was startled for a moment and couldn't help but laugh. Then he got up from behind the counter and slowly walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor. "I was just giving a friendly reminder, of course. How you decide is up to you.
"Wait a minute," Shirley suddenly stood up, but hesitated a little. She hesitated for two seconds before continuing to speak. Judging from your attitude...you didn't know about Nina's specialness before."
Duncan stopped, and after pondering for a while, he raised his hand and pointed at his eyes: "It seems that the body's eyes I am using now are not very good, and I really haven't noticed some things.
This body...
Shirley noticed these words keenly, but she didn't dare to ask anything. She was just curious as she watched the other person continue to walk upstairs: "What are you going to do now?"
"Of course we are going upstairs to eat," Duncan glanced down and said matter-of-factly, "Come up too, it's dinner time."
It's dinner time
What is it like to eat at the home of a subspace boss?
Shirley didn't know how to describe to others how many strange thoughts flashed through her mind as she followed the boss upstairs. She was nervous and looking forward to it, curious and scared, even though she knew it was most likely just an ordinary meal. Although he was eating ordinary daily meals, he couldn't help but guess what scary and bizarre things would appear on the table later.
In this seemingly ordinary antique shop, there lives a shadow from subspace. This is the nest of subspace shadows. It is the collapse gap between the real world and the deep world. In such a nest, ...Even if the offspring of the evil god appears on the dining table, it is quite normal in her opinion.
With this wild guess in her head and a nervous mood, Shirley went upstairs to the slightly narrow kitchen, and then saw the things on the dining table.
It was just a plate of freshly heated hard bread, a pot of vegetable soup that is most common in downtown, and some
Just tomato sauce and mushroom sauce.
The most eye-catching thing on the whole table is just a bowl of fish soup - there are a few pieces of fish that have been cut and processed, and the original appearance is not visible, floating in the white soup, and the delicious smell wafts from it. , causing Shirley's gastrointestinal motility.
"I made soup from the half salted fish left in the kitchen," Nina said to Duncan with a smile, and then looked at Shirley, "Uncle bought this fish, try it, it tastes delicious. !
Shirley sat down at the dining table in a mood, her eyes flicking between the ordinary meals. Duncan next to her saw
Zheng couldn't help but laugh: "Why, the food is too ordinary, but it's unexpected and doesn't taste good."
"Ah, no, no, no...this is much better than what I usually eat..." Shirley replied subconsciously, and then added
He added, "But I really didn't expect it to be such a common thing."
"This fish looks a bit strange," Ah Gou next to him muttered as he poked his head and glanced at the food on the table.
He said, "I always feel... it smells a little familiar." "What kind of delicacies do you know?" Shirley glanced at it after hearing this, "You who usually use rocks as biscuits..."
"Mr. Agou, don't you want to eat?" Nina looked surprised when she heard this.
"The Deep Demon will not eat human food - in fact, it doesn't need to eat at all," Shirley nodded, "it only occasionally gnaws on stones and steel plates when grinding its teeth.
Upon hearing this, Agou immediately hummed and shook his head: "I feel a little sad when you say that. You have forgotten how I tried to steal food outside to feed you. Sometimes I also eat some...
As he spoke, he lay down on the edge of the dining table and got closer to the basin of fish soup. However, he stared at the fish soup for two seconds.
Finally, the second half of his unfinished sentence came to an abrupt end.
The next second, the deep hound suddenly withdrew its sight, scurried back to the original place, and lay there motionless.
.
Shirley was confused by the other party's reaction: "Agou, what's wrong with you...
Agou looked at Duncan for the first time, and what he saw was his gentle smile.
Agou looked at Duncan for the first time, and what he saw was his gentle smile.
"Why don't you like fish?" the indescribable whirlpool of light and shadow asked with a smile.
Agou's head shook from side to side. Suddenly, it felt that the so-called cordial and friendly conversations, the friendly smiles and the friendship of cooperative investigation were all just illusions. In the depths of the indescribable distorted light and shadow, there was really only terror!
A "descendant of the deep sea" with a higher rank than it was minced and stewed into soup, and even the essence was real food... Such a terrifying thing was happening on that dining table!
"I... don't like fish."
The deep hound said in a muffled voice.
In the corner of its eye, the freshly prepared fish soup was still emitting steam and smelling good to humans.
It knows that the thing in the basin is really a "fish". No matter what it was in the past, it is already a fish now.
.
The essence of the heir has long been distorted and tampered with. If it hadn't been for the eyes given to him by Holy Lord Netherworld, even it wouldn't have been able to identify what those chopped pieces of meat were.
Nowadays, it is really harmless food, and there will be no problem even if Shirley eats it. But Agou himself would not go near that dining table today even if he died!
Duncan didn't know why Agou suddenly had such a big reaction to fish soup, but he thought it had nothing to do with the deep demon's special food.
It was related to the spectrum, so he didn't care.
His attention was on Nina.
Nina looked the same as usual. Although she might have a few things on her mind, this sensible child chose to deal with her feelings in a way that would not embarrass everyone.
On the other hand, Duncan already knew that something was "hidden" next to Nina.
Or in other words, the huge and invisible "curtain" in the factory also spread invisibly and enveloped Nina.
He didn't dare to make a direct judgment yet, and he couldn't be sure what the ashes surrounding Nina meant, but there was no doubt that Nina must have been in an extremely special position during the fire eleven years ago.
Just as special as that factory.
Nina knew nothing. She had lived in this ignorance for eleven years.
"Uncle" Nina finally noticed Duncan's gaze, she was a little confused, "What's wrong?"
Duncan didn't answer, just stretched out his hand and gently stroked the top of Nina's head.
Nina was stunned for a moment, then shook her head from side to side: "I'm not a child anymore!"
"I know you are not a child anymore," Duncan laughed, and in the swaying hair of Nina, tiny green light spots flickered and disappeared, "but you are still a child."
Nina puffed up her cheeks slightly.
"Uncle, you will go with Shirley in the future...'investigation'
She finally couldn't help but ask.
"Within a safe range." Duncan replied seriously.
“…………Can’t you not go?”
Duncan shook his head: "No.'
Nina was silent for a moment and then asked: "Then what can I do?"
"Eat well," Duncan showed a smile and pointed to the dining table, "Then sleep well, study well, and finally protect yourself and Uncle Duncan who believes in you." "
Nina stuffed a piece of bread into her mouth, which was bulging.
"Well, I understand.
