In Purand, the extinguishing of the sun naturally brought about a great chaos that spread throughout the city, but before the chaos developed to a dangerous level, the city-state guards and defender troops who appeared in time had controlled the situation!
The melodious bells from the chapel echoed over the block. The bells seemed to contain the power to calm people down and regain their courage. The steam walkers clattered through the streets and alleys, and the broadcast device played music from the city hall. latest command.
The gas lamps beside Road II have been lit urgently; panicked passers-by are trying their best to return to their safe homes as quickly as possible or get into the nearest "night shelter". The heavily armed guards are walking quickly through the crowd, Confirming the conditions of various night shelters and checking whether there are any "filth" that should not appear in the real world in the sudden darkness!
Heidi immediately lit up all the lights in her home - from gas lamps with sacred power, oil lamps to bright enough electric lamps, using these lights to dispel the darkness caused by the extinguishing of the sun, and also dispel the tension in her heart. The mother's voice came from the direction of the sofa, "Relax Heidi, you may fall if you run around. The best in the world is not here yet,"
Heidi turned her head and saw her mother sitting on the sofa just like Xiangyou. She had already picked up a few letters that she had put down temporarily due to the fall of darkness.
The expression on the old woman's face was still gentle and calm. It seemed that no matter what happened in the world, it would have no impact on her. It was a big deal that the sun went out. Heidi was surprised at her mother's calmness at the moment!
She couldn't feel at ease at this time.
"You can still read the letter!"
"If I put the letter down, will the sun light up again?" The mother finally turned her head, with a helpless expression on her face!
"Now I can only choose three: believe in the city hall and the cathedral. There will be a strong presence to protect this city."
Heidi pursed her lips and subconsciously grasped the pendant hanging on her chest.
"Damn it...if only Fanna was here, I could ask her what happened...Father is not at home either."
She didn't notice that her mother, who was sitting on the sofa, had a subtle expression on her face for a moment after hearing her words. The next second, the old woman shook her head, "If the sun really goes out, then what will happen?" It must be a sight that the whole world can see, and Vanna and your father must have seen it too - they must be thinking of ways within their respective responsibilities, and it's time for you to calm down and think about your responsibilities. "
Heidi finally calmed down a little. She frowned and turned her eyes to the table not far away. A delicate and sturdy suitcase was quietly placed on the corner of the table.
It was filled with various tools and medicines that she used in her medical practice. Since even the nights in the city-state had been particularly peaceful recently, she had not used the most powerful items in the suitcase for a long time.
"There will be many people who need psychological counseling."
My mother's calming voice came from behind: "I guess it won't be long before the city hall will send someone to pick you up - the sun has only dimmed temporarily, but our city has not sunk yet!"
Heidi exhaled softly and slowly walked towards her medical kit.
"Well you're right, the best of the world isn't here yet - so my overtime won't end either."
"Don't forget to bring your gun when you go to the clinic..."
The mother reminded her gently, "Although Purand is much safer these days than in the past, mentally disturbed people are always so dangerous - you have to use drastic measures to deal with the "sickness" if necessary.
"certainly."
Heidi agreed casually.
Opening a hidden compartment at the bottom of the suitcase, a beautifully crafted revolver and several spare cartridges lay quietly in front of her. She quickly checked the condition of the firearms, and then spoke with a sigh, "After all... ···Gunpowder is also medicine.”
"I have dispatched the city-state guards. You don't have to worry about the order in Frost City for a short time!" Tirian stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling mirror in the corner of the dome office and said to the mirror with a serious face.
"The tension brought to the city by the mirror crisis that occurred not long ago has not faded. The good news is that under the influence of this tension, various emergency plans will be implemented relatively quickly."
The green flame burned quietly on the surface of the mirror like a layer of gauze, and Duncan's figure stood in the dark depths of the mirror; after Tirian finished speaking, he nodded, "Very good, there is something pointing to the supernatural in the city. Is there any abnormality?"
"It hasn't been discovered yet," Tirian said immediately.
"
However, I have sent additional manpower to focus on the situation in facilities such as mental hospitals, and the cathedral is also arranging people to inspect various night shelters, cemeteries and neighborhoods with relatively lack of lighting..."
"Theoretically, in the alienated frost territory! "Darkness" itself is no longer a dangerous factor. Only mental breakdown and widespread panic that directly point to people's hearts require close attention."
Duncan reminded, "In addition, there is no need to send anyone to the cemetery area. I will keep an eye on the people there myself."
"Yes" Tirian nodded quickly, then he hesitated for a moment, then spoke carefully while speaking, "How is the situation over there? There is nothing wrong with the Homeless Ship!"
"Don't worry here, nothing can threaten the Lost Home!"
Duncan said calmly, "Nina has ignited a temporary sun in the sky. Now we are still sailing south as planned. The surrounding seas are calmer than expected."
Tirian breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems like I'm worrying too much."
"Can you contact me at Breeze Port?" Duncan's voice came from the mirror again, "What's the situation at Lucretia!"
"I contacted her just now. She has just returned to the Brilliant Star. There are currently no safety issues. She said that she also observed the sun extinguishing in Qingfeng Port, but the chaos in that city-state was much better than Frostbite - because of that Affected by the mysterious "falling object", most areas of Qingfeng Port are still shrouded in "sunlight", and although the strange phenomena in the sky are disturbing, they are not as scary as they look from the frost side."
"That's good, keep in touch at any time and pay close attention to changes in the city-state."
"yes!"
Tirian nodded, then he hesitated and slowly said, "In addition, there is another situation..."
"explain"
Duncan frowned in the mirror. "At this time! You should say it in any situation."
"We have lost contact with other city-states, whether they are distant city-states or nearby Coldharbour."
Tirian said cautiously, "The telegram was interrupted, the signal tower on the sea did not respond, and even the spiritual communication of the church could not be contacted. Currently, only two city-states can barely maintain contact. One is Purand, and the other is Light." Wind Harbor.”
"Communications with other city-states are interrupted,"
Duncan's expression suddenly became serious, "How long has this been going on?"
"When the sun went out, we discovered that the communication with Cold Harbor was interrupted, and confirmed that the same was true for other city-states."
Tirian immediately said, "I have urgently recalled all ships in the waters near Frost and banned all ships from going to sea!"
Tirian said this, but in fact he did not say all of the words.
After losing contact with other city-states, a strange worry came to his mind.
He was worried that outside the city-state, in places where the sun could not shine, the boundless sea had become something that people could not understand...
"Continue to try to contact other city-states." Duncan's voice came from the mirror, interrupting Tirian's thoughts. "Also, if there is any new news from Lucy, please contact me as soon as possible."
"Yes, father."
The communication with the Lost Home was over, and the huge dome office became quiet again. Tirian raised his hand, rubbed his sore eyebrows, and then pressed the bell on his desk. The office door was blocked by someone. Pushing aside, Aiden walked in. Tirian raised his head and ordered his most loyal subordinates to be wary of the ships returning from the darkness before the sun lit up again, and not to let them approach the city-state rashly - demarcate the offshore area. a buffer. "
Let the returning ships park there temporarily, waiting for inspection and release!
The mirror in front of him gradually returned to calm, and the green flame temporarily retreated to the corner of the edge of the mirror. Duncan exhaled softly and turned to look out the window. The bright "sunshine" was still shining on the deck of the Lost Home and the surrounding surroundings. A large area of the sea, but outside the scope of the sunlight, the entire boundless sea is still shrouded in strange darkness.
This is a very unsettling moment. Even the noisiest goat head in Pingyouli has fallen silent on the chart table. Only Alice is still happily sunbathing on the deck at this time...
Duncan rubbed his forehead and tried not to pay attention to the figure who was drying his quilt on the deck.
Then he concentrated his energy and called out to the flames suspended in the sky in his heart.
"Nina, how are you doing there? Are you tired?"
"You're not tired." With the help of the resonance of the flame power, Nina's voice almost immediately sounded in Duncan's mind. "I'm not flying very high. I can stay in this position for a long, long time!"
"What can you see on the surrounding sea?"
"Hmm... No, there is nothing on the surrounding sea, not even a bit of wind and waves. Uncle Duncan, did you think of something?"
"Not yet, but you should always pay attention to the situation on the sea - especially those at the junction of light and darkness." Duncan said slowly, "If there is a ship or something nearby, tell me as soon as possible. "
Nina's voice immediately responded, "Hey; OK."
Duncan hummed and ended the conversation with Nina. Then he looked at the mirror in front of him and calmed down slightly. He stepped forward and reached out to brush the mirror, "Lawrence, how is the situation over there?"
