Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 274 A pleasant meeting

At this moment, Duncan thought about all the similar talismans he had taken in the past period of time in his mind. After thinking for a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In my memory, the only two amulets given out as special gifts were to Morris. The others were just ordinary commodities. However, after such a long time, no one who bought the amulets came back to report any unusual phenomena. .

After breathing a sigh of relief, Duncan couldn't help but fall into thinking.

Although the reason for the change in the amulet is still unclear, the news brought by Vanna undoubtedly gave him a wake-up call, allowing him to further understand and mentally prepare for the "weird phenomena" that may occur around him.

From now on, it seems that I can no longer give things away casually, nor can I accept things casually.

Duncan's brief silence also caught Vanna's attention, and the latter cast a curious look: "Did you recall something?"

"...Thinking carefully about the recent events, there is nothing wrong," Duncan shook his head and said with a calm and sincere tone, "Could it be that Heidi made a mistake?"

"Unlikely, she is a senior psychiatrist, has a certain understanding of the supernatural realm, and is very aware of her own mental state." Fanna shook her head, "But the problem with the amulet may indeed lie in other aspects... maybe , it’s just an extraordinary item mixed into ordinary commodities, or it may be during the production process..."

Vanna spoke slowly, but it didn't seem like she was explaining to Duncan, but like she was hypnotizing and convincing herself.

As an Inquisitor, she should not have been unalert to potential supernatural events, but her attention was eventually diverted from the matter of the amulet.

She shook her head, seeming completely confused.

"Maybe it's because of the excessive work pressure," Shirley said casually, standing up from behind the counter. "After all, the immediate boss is coming soon."

"The tea is ready," Plander's voice came from the side. She brought a cup of hot tea and put it on the counter, and pushed it towards Duncan, "Please use it slowly."

"I'll give it to you. It's not a valuable thing anyway, I'm just selling it as a gift," Shirley said with a half-smile, "Or maybe I can make up a temporary product introduction for you that sounds awesome? Do you want the historical relic version or the health care version?”

The gentleman sat behind the counter with a friendly smile on his face.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I was a little distracted all of a sudden." She seemed to wake up suddenly, and suddenly coughed violently a few times, as if she was choked by something. She frowned and glanced at the empty tea cup in front of her, then shook her head. "No, I'm just here to ask about this matter."

"You finally came out," the young subordinate who stayed in the car said as he slowly started the car. "It's been almost an hour and a half. I was still thinking that if you didn't come out, I would go in..."

A blond man named Shi Caibo was busy beside the big stove.

The sound of busy traffic on the street in the store sounded a bit distant. The kettle in the store was making a sharp sound little by little. There seemed to be some crawling shadows in the corners of the shelves next to it. The stairs leading to the second floor seemed to extend into the infinite darkness. .

When Shi Cai saw this situation, he was immediately shocked - it was the first time he saw someone who could swallow the tea made by Pu Lunde so calmly. This lady is indeed the most beautiful girl in Alice. , very within the reach of human beings.

Duncan silently picked up the tea cup, put it to his mouth and took a sip, then chewed it again - the hot tea and tea leaves were swallowed by him expressionlessly.

Duncan nodded gently, turned and left. After a while, he found that he was just looking around without any intention of speaking. Shi Cai finally couldn't help but break the silence: "Is there anything else besides the amulet?"

In the antique store, Vanna was the first to run to the counter. She glanced back at the direction where Duncan left just now with uneasiness, then turned to look at Shirley: "What is this inquisitor doing here? Is he here to arrest me?" "

Nina also came over at that time. Hearing Shi Cai's words, he immediately reacted: "My immediate boss, you

Are you talking about the news that was published in the newspaper before? Cathedral of Storms? "

Shi Cai has lived in Shangcheng District since he was a child. He entered the church for training when he was a minor. As an adult, he directly carried a sword and threw himself into the battle against heretics. He had never seen this in his more than 20 years of life, and he was suddenly a little confused: "Two or two hundred votes." ?”

Shirley looked at him with a half-smile: "What can't you do?"

Shirley smiled and nodded, glanced at Nina, Vanna and Prand, and suddenly asked: "Are you interested?"

The Cathedral of Storms is coming. "It'll be the same next time, the store is here anyway," the young subordinate said casually, and then he saw the extra crystal amulet on Fanna's neck through the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "The new one you bought Pendant? What a surprise, you don’t usually buy these.”

"Stop talking about this, drive faster and go directly to the port."

As she spoke, she tapped her forehead lightly. She always felt that she seemed to have missed something. She couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "I left in such a hurry just now, and I didn't even say goodbye."

Duncan thought about it seriously and shook his head: "I may need this - but I can't take your things for nothing."

Seeing this, Shirley wanted to say something more, but saw Duncan stand up and pick up the crystal pendant.

"Anyway, there won't be much business today - most of them either go to church to attend mass or visit the port, and they are just idle in the store," Shirley said matter-of-factly, "Go and have a look, the storm is big The grand occasion of the church docking does not happen every year.”

"Pendant?" Duncan looked down at his chest in confusion, and after two seconds he said with a slight hesitation, "Ah, I bought it..."

Duncan looked at the "crystal" amulet in front of him in surprise, and was stunned for a moment before asking: "How much?"

"It was a pleasant meeting," she smiled slowly and suddenly said with a particularly solemn expression and tone. At the same time, she raised her hand and put the crystal pendant around her neck. "Looking forward to our next meeting."

The gentle sound of the waves echoed in her mind, bringing waves of relief and making her gradually forget the purpose of coming here in the first place.

The whole building seemed to be filled with faint whispers.

Although Purande on the other side didn't know what was going on, seeing Nina being so excited, she also clapped her hands. Only Alice looked like she had seen a ghost: "Cococococoa, this is the Cathedral of Storms! Let's go there. Won't……"

She meandered through the store, walked out of the door, and came to the open space in front of the antique store, where she stopped.

Shirley felt that the other person was a little weird for a while, and frowned subconsciously, but in the end she didn't say anything more, and just nodded politely: "Okay, welcome to visit next time." Shirley nodded with satisfaction.

Duncan raised his head and looked around the antique shop silently.

Nina also helps in the store. "If you are interested in the talisman, I will sell you one too," he laughed, pushing the talisman he had just taken forward, "You go back and study it slowly."

Fanna looked up at Shirley, lowered her head to think for a moment, and shook her head vigorously: "Nothing!"

Duncan was stunned for a moment: "You...are all the things sold here?"

And in his transcendental perception that spread across the entire city-state, he could not yet feel that there was an "existence" exuding majestic momentum that was gradually approaching.

As soon as he finished speaking, Nina jumped up happily: "Great!"

"Gifts for colleagues," Shirley said seriously, "and also for young people to give to their lovers..."

Then I raised my head and looked across the street outside the door, across the city, and toward the port.

A loud beeping sound suddenly came from the roadside in the distance. As she spoke, she dug around her body and took out two ten-sola bills from her pocket and placed them on the counter.

"An hour and a half?" Duncan was a little surprised, "I thought twenty minutes had just passed."

"Manage with integrity," Shirley spread her hands, "If you definitely want to sell this thing,

The original price is four solas, and if you add a set of eighteen health care theories and twenty-two historical stories, you can get a white walnut box for forty-four dollars - the box promises not to fade within half a year. In addition, I can also give you a ticket for 700. "

Duncan blinked and then noticed the car parked on the side of the road. He remembered the arrival of Storm Cathedral today and quickly walked over, opened the door and got in the car.

The girl named Fanna hasn't returned to the store yet, and is currently placing things on the shelves while looking over there carefully.

"You're thinking too much," he glanced at the anxious girl, with helplessness on his expression, "I'm here to investigate other matters, it has nothing to do with you."

"Interested?" He was stunned for a moment and asked.

After reacting, his face instantly showed shock, "Wait, are you going to go?"

"The original price is four solas - the rest is to thank you for your cooperation and to thank you for the cup of tea just now."

"Oh, just don't come here to catch me," Fanna breathed a sigh of relief, but then she couldn't help but mutter, "I feel like you are acting weird today, and you don't have the right words to match."
