Chapter 152: Indecision...



Duncan had never expected that he would get these important pieces of information about the Lost Homeland from Agou just by asking casually. Although he had heard the Deep Hound describe the Lost Homeland's great reputation in the deep sea before, who could have thought that this great reputation was "created" in such a simple and crude way? !

A ghost ship that constantly vibrates between the subspace and the real dimension, like a cannonball shuttling back and forth between the roof and the foundation. Every time it vibrates, it will smash through the "floors" of the spirit world and the deep sea. No grass grows wherever it passes, and all entities that come into contact with it are sucked into the subspace... and it sounds like this situation will last for quite some time!

It's no wonder that a deep demon like Agou would have the fear of the Lost Homeland engraved in his bones - a natural disaster that comes to you every now and then to kill you suddenly stops, and a captain comes down to greet you cheerfully, who wouldn't have a cramp in his calf? Even if Agou has no muscles in his calf, it has to move!

After all, even though the ship is now stopped in the real dimension, what if... a ghost captain wants to return to the subspace to visit his relatives?

However, compared to the huge mess that the Lost Hometown had caused, Duncan was more concerned about the ship itself and the state of the real Captain Duncan at that time.

Was that kind of "shock" intentional by the real Captain Duncan? Or was it some kind of uncontrolled wandering? Did Goat Head know what was going on at the time? If all this was intentional, then what was the purpose of "Captain Duncan" and Goat Head doing this? If all this was caused by loss of control...

That would be even more fun.

Will the Lost Hometown... lose control again? !

All along, the Homeland Lost has been Duncan’s greatest backing and the location of his main body. The safety of that ship is equal to his own safety. He explores that ship and controls that ship in order to further ensure this safety. But if the entire ship is at risk of getting out of control, or even suddenly “smashes” into the subspace again from the real dimension... then is his current control over the Homeland Lost still useful?

Can he pull back a ghost ship that is madly rushing into the warp?

The current stable voyage of the Lost Homeland on the vast ocean may only be a temporary state of balance, and its true state is actually "out of control" - this possibility spread uncontrollably in his heart, making Duncan involuntarily feel irritated.

What made him even more irritated was the door to the subspace at the bottom of the Lost Homeland, and the nervous reaction of Goat Head after learning that the door had opened a crack, which seemed to faintly confirm his worries.

The Homelander is not stable, and the Warp's call to that ship never stops.

Duncan took a deep breath calmly, forcing himself to calm down.

No matter how much he thought about it, he didn't have enough ability to interfere in matters related to the subspace - he still knew too little about the mysterious field.

If you want to accumulate knowledge related to the Warp, dealing more with extraordinary events is one way, especially the church in front of you, this... church that may have been invaded by the Warp.

"Let's pay more attention to this place," Duncan shook his head. "If something from the subspace really invaded the underground temple, then what happened eleven years ago must be more complicated than anyone imagined..."

He raised his head and looked at the door that had once been closed.

"The nun here held the door before she died in battle, probably to prevent the things in the temple from running out, but can a door really stop invaders from the warp?"

"The invasion of the Warp also depends on the situation," Agou said thoughtfully, "In most cases, the real world is protected by the gods... Well, although I don't like them very much, the real world is indeed effectively protected by the gods. It is difficult for the Warp to directly influence the real world. Those who can run here are generally not the real body. At most, they are some projections, pollution, or even just illusions projected by human hearts..."

Agou suddenly stopped talking and looked at Duncan nervously.

In his eyes, the vortex of light and shadow inside this human body was running chaotically, and crazy light and shadows that were enough to make demons lose their minds kept emerging from it.

This ghost captain who returned from the warp... hell, he himself is the biggest warp invasion in this place!

"Go on, what next? What happened to the subspace invasion?"

In Agou's eyes, "the subspace invasion was originally an invasion." He lowered his head and asked curiously about the subspace invasion.

"I... I mean, under normal circumstances, the subspace invasion can be blocked by the sacred facilities in the church... and since the invaders are not real bodies, as long as the invasion channel is cut off, the part that remains in the real world will quickly dissipate..." Agou swallowed his saliva and explained the subspace invasion to the church with difficulty, "Of course, how heavy a price will be paid in this process is another matter..."

"So that's what happened," Duncan nodded in understanding. When he looked at the nun lying on the ground, his eyes were even more admiring than before. "She must have tried her best to prevent the disaster back then."

"But she didn't succeed, did she?" Shirley's voice suddenly came from the side. Since the things Duncan and Agou were discussing were either too advanced or too scary, she hadn't found a chance to interrupt since just now. "The fire eleven years ago still happened..."

"The fire eleven years ago was caused by solar fragments, and we found traces of the subspace in this church. It is unclear how these two things are related," Duncan shook his head. Then he seemed to suddenly think of something, and with a thoughtful expression, he slowly came to the statue of the goddess in the center of the underground church. "But... I am suddenly curious about something."

He raised his head and looked at the statue of the goddess, which was slightly different from the statue of Gemona in the church on the surface. This statue stood in the dimness, and there was no sign of damage on the surface.

"What are you curious about?" Shirley followed, looked at the statue cautiously, and asked in a low voice.

"This Storm Goddess, what is she doing?" Duncan pointed at the holy statue. "The church was invaded, the priests died in the battle, and only a phantom who kept praying like a remnant soul was left outside. Why didn't the god here react at all? At the very least... should she warn the believers in other churches and ask them to come to support her?"

"I don't know much about the gods, but this matter is indeed a bit suspicious," Agou muttered after hearing this. "Although the gods are not closely connected to the mortal world, they are indeed very concerned about their respective 'sanctuaries'. These buildings that gather believers are like 'anchors' between the gods and the mortal world. Now one of the anchors has been pulled out silently. Eleven years have passed... and there is no news. Something is wrong."

Duncan thought about it, then suddenly raised his right hand. A small flame appeared out of thin air at his fingertips, and the faint green light illuminated the area around the statue.

The iron chain rattled, and Ah Gou immediately took two steps back: "What...what are you going to do?"

"When in doubt, light a small fire," Duncan said with a smile, "and maybe something hidden will be revealed."

Agou was startled and wanted to remind the other party that this was an underground temple, which might directly attract Gemona's attention. However, he held back the words before he could say them - this place had been messed up like this, regardless of whether it still had some sanctity. The big guy in front of him was now doing his job of "subspace invasion", so why was he wasting his time talking!

However, it still calmly stepped back a few steps and pulled Shirley a little further away.

If something like divine punishment really comes down later, the boss may not be afraid, but it and Shirley won't be able to withstand it.

Duncan noticed what Agou did, but he didn't care.

Of course, he didn't want to attract the attention of the goddess of storm to himself, but in the main hall of the church just now, he had already confirmed that this "sanctuary" had been completely eroded, and even the holy statues were entrenched with the power of the subspace. Considering that the abnormality here had been hidden for eleven years without being discovered, the connection between the god and this place had obviously been cut off long ago.

Today, this once sacred place has long lost its sacredness and only remains in its shadow.

The spiritual fire burned silently, falling to the ground like water drops. The hazy and illusory flames quickly spread in the underground temple, filling the entire room in the blink of an eye.

Then, the flames that spread to the end gradually went out silently.

Shirley and Agou looked at each other in bewilderment. After a while, Shirley spoke cautiously, "What...did you find?"

Duncan looked at the flickering flame on his finger in surprise, then looked at the empty underground temple where nothing had happened.

Is there really nothing here? Or is it that the power of the flames is not enough to pry open the "curtain" covering this place?

He frowned, and at this moment, a very faint, almost hallucinatory murmur suddenly reached his ears——

"Who's there?"

Duncan was startled and looked up suddenly in the direction where the sound came from.

The statue of Gemona stood quietly in the darkness.
