With countless questions and conjectures in his mind, Duncan put the brass key away close to his body, and Alice waited quietly beside him, her eyes rolling around like a child expecting a secret.
[Do you feel any different now? 】Duncan asked, looking into Alice's eyes. 【a different feeling?
】Alice tilted her head, raised her hand to touch her back, and after a while, she shook her head. She felt a little itchy there just now at the keyhole, but it’s not itchy now.] Duncan frowned when he heard this: frowned: [ Nothing else?
That's it? ] [No more] Alice replied honestly, and then looked a little curious, [Should there be anything?
Your expression is so serious. Have you figured out the key thing?" Duncan frowned tightly. After a moment of hesitation, he finally gathered his thoughts and words, sat down on the bed opposite the doll, and He spoke seriously: [You may only feel that a moment has passed, but I stayed in a strange place for a long time - it was an ancient and huge mansion, and its name was
"Alice Mansion"] The doll opened its eyes little by little, listening to Chuan Chang's story in surprise and confusion.
Duncan did not hide his experience in Alice Mansion. He told the doll lady everything he saw and heard there, and then mentioned what he saw and heard in the deep sea, including his encounter with Han. Meeting with the Frost Queen Leigh Nora.
Of course, he knew that Alice might only understand part of it, and even the part that she understood could only be vaguely understood, and the things he could remember were limited, but he still chose to tell everything.
Because this is what she should know - you can't hide it from her with the mentality that "she won't understand anyway". This is the most basic respect.
Alice listened to the end in a daze. It was not until Duncan finished his words that it took more than ten seconds for the doll to wake up.
Wow. Then she scratched her hair, with confusion and a little apology on her face: [I didn't quite understand what I heard, and I felt dizzy. Sorry, Captain, you worked so hard to help me understand this. thing, but I seem a bit stupid.
[No, you are not stupid, it’s just that these things are too complicated,] Duncan knew that the other party would definitely react this way, so he smiled and shook his head, [Even I feel in my heart that these things are full of mysteries - there are too many clues and too scattered, It is obviously still a long way from clearing the final fog.
] Alice nodded half-underlyingly, then thought about it seriously, and suddenly became curious: [Are there many people in that mansion?
And they don’t even have heads? 】【I only saw one person who claimed to be a housekeeper, but according to the housekeeper, there were indeed many people in the mansion, but they were all hiding.
] Duncan said while recalling, [In addition, according to my observation, those should be headless. ] Alice frowned, thinking hard and murmuring: Will you follow me?
"The new head's ability is related to it. It is possible that some of the attendants are the souls of people who have been beheaded by you. As someone who knows about Liz Guillotine, Duncan certainly thought of this direction, but then he The topic changed again, but according to some information revealed by the butler, there are a large number of wandering souls gathered in the mansion. They are like some kind of exiles, accepting the asylum of the mansion. These attendants do not look like they were beheaded] He paused, thought briefly and then continued: [Perhaps it is your guillotine ability that makes the souls gathered in the mansion assume a headless posture, regardless of their specific identity.
"What is the source?" [Oh·] Alice seemed to understand, and then she seemed to think of something, [What about the 'Frost Queen'? Did she really disappear like that?] [The room is indeed Has disappeared.] Duncan nodded, and it seemed that just as she said, when the ancient god's tentacles as the connection point were destroyed, the drifting land would lose its restraints, and he suddenly stopped as if he had untied the cable. Coming down, her expression was thoughtful. [Chip?] Alice looked at Duncan inexplicably, [Why did you suddenly stop talking?] She asked twice in a row, and then Duncan raised his head from his contemplation, and in his tone, With a hint of solemnity: [I am thinking about what Lenora said
"The Drifting Place' refers to her room, or the entire Alice Mansion. [Huh?] Alice didn't realize what the difference was at once, [Is there any difference?] If the Drifting Place refers to the entire Alice Mansion , then when the connection point is burned by me, what disappears should be the entire mansion, not a single room on the second floor; if the drifting place refers only to the room where she slept, then that room and the entire mansion What is the relationship between her room and the entire mansion? In other words, what is the relationship between her room and the entire mansion?
"Connection", doesn't it count as a connection point? Duncan paused after saying this, then raised his finger and pointed at Alice. More importantly, after I turned the clockwork key on you, I entered the Alice mansion. Obviously, between that mansion and the price The connection is the strongest. You should even have some kind of relationship of one mind. If the drifting land needs a connection point to exist stably, then you are obviously the most stable connection point.
Alice blinked and listened carefully, trying to understand—but failing. But her advantage has always been sincerity: [What are you talking about?
】【The room where Ms. Frost was sleeping was torn from the main body of the mansion, and there were obvious signs of damage on the edge. I didn't pay much attention to this at first, but just now it suddenly occurred to me that Lenora might have hidden it from me. Issues.
】So-called
"The Drifting Place" theoretically refers to the entire Alice Mansion, and that mansion is closely connected with you. As far as I can see, there is no tendency to drift away, so Le Nora is most likely to take advantage of it. I burned the opportunity for the ancient god to touch her wrist, and took advantage of the weakened connection to forcefully separate her room from the main body of the mansion. Alice continued to work hard to understand, but this time, she finally understood most of what you meant. Was it the Frost Queen who took advantage of you to set fire to her room and ran away? Just like taking advantage of the fog to run away the lifeboat on the ship? Duncan was stunned when he heard this and looked at the doll in surprise: [Your analogy makes a lot of sense. How did you come up with it?] Mr. Goathead told me that there are many stories about this. Some mutinous sailors took advantage of the fog to steal the lifeboats on the ship. They stole the lifeboats on the ship. The wine barrel, steal the cheese on the ship, steal the salted fish on the ship, and so on, and then the wise and powerful crew will cross the entire boundless sea to snatch back the stolen salted fish. You have to catch the stolen salted fish. The Frost Queen in the room? Duncan was stunned for a while, and after Alice finished speaking, he curled his lips with a strange expression: [Let’s not talk about why the mutinous crew members stole salted fish, and why I had to cross the entire boundless sea. Go and snatch back a salted fish - where can I find it? Besides, the Frost Queen escaped. If you want to catch her, you should be the one to catch her. She stole your room - you are the woman of Alice Mansion. Master.] [Yes.] Alice thought for a moment and simply agreed with this truth, then shook her head, [Then I won’t arrest her. After all, that room originally belonged to her, but why would she do this? Do it? Didn’t you just say that once the drifting place loses its restraints, it will fly around, and may even fall into the subspace, just like being exiled - isn’t this a terrible thing?] Duncan pondered, thinking He slowly spoke: [What is it] He recalled the Lenora he saw, the one who seemed to have been in shackles since birth, crowned in the shackles, and overthrown in the mirror shackles, even if she fell. The Frost Queen has been imprisoned in nightmares since she entered the deep sea. She said that she has been sleeping in a cage, even if the cage later removed the bars, and now she has escaped from prison and taken her cage with her. [Probably 'freedom' Right.] Duncan said softly. But is it just for [freedom]? The dial pointer on the control panel is shaking rapidly, and the shaking when approaching the water is becoming more and more obvious. Through the thick glass portholes, the deep and boundless land outside of
"In the sea water" you can already vaguely see some light falling from above. Sunlight appears in the water—a sign that the submersible is quickly approaching the surface.
However, the gradually filling radiance cannot be completely dispelled, and the depressing impression left by the deep sea is like the vast and boundless ocean below the submersible.
There is still something "in the darkness" that is constantly floating and escaping, stretching out invisible tentacles, opening its arms upward, and retaining the uninvited guests who have broken into the deep sea.
During the ascent, Duncan told himself: Those things are still swirling in his mind - scary, strange, bizarre, and shocking to the world.
Whether it is living with the ancient gods in the deep sea, the soul of the Frost Queen for fifty years, or the terrifying possibilities contained in all things in the world, it is enough to make a person with a firm mind and devout faith feel the piercing depths in the sun. cold.
All things in the world are the descendants of the ancient gods. The flesh and blood of the ancient gods exist in all living beings and are gradually awakening. Even in the most blasphemous, deviant and filthy classics, no one dares to record such remarks.
The craziest Annihilation cultists have only dabbled in theories such as [The Creation of the Holy Lord Netherworld].
The sunlight from the sea became brighter and brighter, but the dead body could not feel any warmth.
Agatha clasped her hands in front of her chest, silently calling Bartok's name, wanting to pray to her god, but she couldn't calm down no matter what.
