Chapter Fifty-Seven Cowardly Alice

The captain's words were like the cold night wind, passing through the dimmering stairs. Alice subconsciously hugged her arms and followed Duncan closer. As she went down, she finally saw what the captain said

What does the light mean? "

There is indeed light in the lower cabin - at least in terms of structure and layout, the cabin she saw also had the same support column as above, and there were oil lamps that would not go out, and those oil lamps were burning, but

The burning lamp flames have caused a darker state near the oil lamp than in the distance.

Yes, the closer the oil lamp is, the darker the light is. The oil lamp itself is even almost shrouded in a shadow. Only a few outlines can be seen vaguely, while the light is gradually increasing when it is far away from the oil lamp.

In the corner of the cabin, the brightness is even close to the upper floor.

Before, I saw this place on the stairs that was extremely dim. It was because there were two lights hanging on both sides of the stairs below. From the visual effect, it seemed that these lights were actively releasing darkness, neutralizing, and annihilated the cabin.

There is a bright light in the book.

Alice stared at her eyes and looked at the dim cabin as a whole. I just thought about it for a long time: "This ... is this reasonable ..."

"You are an unreasonable doll here to tell me about rationality?" Duncan glanced at Alice, who was obviously nervous, "Under the sea level of the vast sea, the rationality of things itself is the most unreasonable."

When he said this, he looked quite calm, as if this evil situation had long been the little wind and small wave he had used to, but in fact his reaction was exactly the same as Alice - even the undead-shaped dove on his shoulder suddenly flapped his wings

Saying the voice: "Is it like a word like a word?"

Duncan ignored the noise of the doves on his shoulders, but carefully observed the cabin that he had never stepped into before, and at the same time adjusted the angle of the lantern in his hand, trying to understand the environment here through the changes of light and shadow.

Below the waterline of the hometown ... The lights in the cabin are "reverse".

The lamps seem to not emit light, but in the absorbing space, the light in the Plains in the space is like ... a certain "world mirror image".

However, the spiritual body of the lamp in Duncan's hand is following the normal light rules: the surroundings of the lamp are very bright, the more dim, the more dim.

Is there any principle behind this? Is this just the influence of the vast sea, or is it mixed with the characteristics of the Lost Country itself? Is the "bright environment" in the cabin true? If the oil lamps that "absorb light" are extinguished, here

Will it become a bright place?

For a moment, Duncan really came up with this bold idea. He was really thinking about the phenomenon of the oil lamp that extinguished this layer. However, the next moment, he held this obviously.

Something wrong is wrong.

He can't extinguish the lights here -even if these lights seem to cause the entire cabin to be dark, they must have a reason to light up here!

He suddenly thought that in Pland City State, the information he got was "the burning flame could dispel a weird danger" -s in this statement, the "flame" itself, not the light emitted by the flame itself, not the flame itself.

Does this indicate that under specific circumstances, the light and darkness in this world will appear "reverse phase", and under this negative condition, the only thing worthwhile is "flame" itself?

Does this also indirectly explain why the light emitted by the "electric light" does not have the effect of exorcism - because it is just light, it lacks the element of "flame".

"Captain?" Alice's voice suddenly came from the side, and Miss Doll's voice was nervous and careless, "Is there any exception here?"

"There is no abnormal." Duncan's expression remained unchanged, answered lightly, and slowly walked forward.

The oil lamps that "absorb light" are burning quietly on the support columns on both sides, and some scattered ropes are piled around the columns. When Duncan walked through them, the oil lamps hanging on the columns emitted a slight crackle.

Sound, the rope on the ground slowly moved back, and let the captain.

Somehow, Duncan suddenly appeared in his heart:

Light and shadow is the illusion brought by the deep sea. Under the no longer credible sea level, only the flame itself still loyally guards the wealth of losing the hometown.

He looked at the lights that were burning quietly and nodded slightly, as if expressing recognition and gratitude.

So the next second, all the oil lamps in the cabin became vigorous with a visible amplitude of the naked eye, and flames were rising rapidly under the glass lampshades.

The entire cabin is getting darker...

Duncan: "..."

He suddenly regretted that he praised it too early and should have given these oil lamps a bloody blow when he was about to return.

Alice followed, the doll carefully observed the situation around her. She saw the large wooden barrels and crates piled up in the corner of the cabin, as well as some closed rooms and corridors leading to some unknown place, and quietly

Murdering: "It seems to be a warehouse here ... Is this a cargo ship?"

"If it is a cargo ship, the cargo will not be placed so deep - there is a concept called transport costs," Duncan shook his head and said casually, "These are all ocean supplies, which are for the Huo Township itself to be in the long-term voyage.

Consumed."

Alice blinked: "Ocean supply?"

Duncan didn't say a word, but stepped forward to check some of the goods closest to him.

Some of the barrels are made of oil, dark brown and sticky, but not too strong. They may be some kind of fuel, but obviously they have been stacked here for a long time - Duncan even suspects that these fuels are transformed in the Lost Country.

The "stock" before becoming the ghost ship, they might have been used for lighting and exorcism, but after the ship became the ghost ship, many things in the cargo hold were useless like this.

In another part of the barrel, Duncan saw something familiar.

Cheese that are older than him, and bacon that can break mountains and crack rocks.

Duncan silently resealed the lid.

On this floor, most of the places are piled up with material reserves, and although a considerable portion of them seem to be useless on the current ghost ship, it is enough to prove his previous judgment on the Lost Country:

This ship, at least at the beginning of its construction, was prepared for some kind of ocean-going adventure. It can carry a large amount of supplies, and there are strict safety measures between each supply warehouse to prevent fire spread or pests and rat damage.

Supply.

Thinking of the large number of artillery and ammunition depots on the upper floor of the ship, he could almost guess what kind of ambitious exploration dream this ship originally carried - it was the most distant route and the most dangerous.

The journey requires a whole boat of loyal and outstanding sailors and an unwavering captain to complete it.

However, now, this possible exploration plan has passed with the wind, and the ambitious Lost Land has become the most terrifying natural disaster on the vast sea. The sailors are gone, only one ghost captain still controls the

This ghost ship that lost its target.

He and Alice continued to walk forward, and after passing several separate warehouses, they entered a corridor. If the structure of this floor corresponds to the upper floor, the staircase leading to the lower floor should be deep in the corridor.

"I feel ... getting more and more gloomy ..." Ms. Doll hugged her arms and said with a cautious look around and whispered, "Have you heard the sound of wind? How can there be wind sounds in the cabin?"

"I heard it, don't be nervous, it's normal," Duncan said casually, then glanced at the doll, "Why are you so brave? You at least have the name of 099, right?"

While talking, he also thought of the information that had been obtained from Nina before -in this world, there are many "abnormalities" and "vision" lists that are open to the people. These lists help people avoid people to avoid

The dangers that may be encountered in daily life or identify certain abnormalities and signs of out-of-control in a timely manner, but this list is not complete. The only part of the abnormalities and phenomena that are "being controlled due to threats or being special in nature" are open to the public.

, the abnormalities and visions that ordinary people have no chance to encounter in their lives are obviously not included.

He had tried to inquire about the abnormal 099 from Nina, but the girl had never seen this number in the textbook.

This shows that Alice, a "curse doll", either has a special secret, so that the news was blocked by the authorities and the church, or ... that she was too dangerous that she was always separated from the civilized society.

Therefore, they will not interact with ordinary people at all.

No matter which reason it is, it is enough to make this puppet lady have a little more mysterious in Duncan's eyes.

But after hearing Duncan's words, this mystery just shrunk his neck and was nervous: "It's not that you can be big with the boldness.
