Chapter 52: Two-line Operation
This world has suffered amazing historical changes, with the “Great Annihilation” as the node, the entire world and even the basic laws have ushered in a sky-rocketing drastic changes, so that the Deep Sea Era after the Great Annihilation and the Order Era before the Great Annihilation can almost be regarded as two distinct “worlds”! “The world of the deep sea

However, even so, there are still people who persistently organize the historical data passed down since the Great Annihilation, and try to sort out the true appearance of history from the fragmented and even contradictory files of various city-states.

Unfortunately, perhaps due to the fact that the inheritance was too completely severed, or perhaps the contradictions in the records of the various city-states were too confusing, people have not been able to find a more complete and credible historical record of the period before the Great Annihilation.

No one knows what the world was like during the Order Era.

But fortunately, since the ancient kingdom of Crete, there is a relatively clear historical legacy left behind – despite the rise and fall of city-states on the infinite sea, but at least the continuation of civilization itself has never been cut off, and the memories of the ancient kingdom are either left in books, or carved on huge stones, or in ancient hidden families and associations. Passed down from generation to generation, there will always be many scattered, but also have a vein to remain.

And scholars believe that more than half of the credit for the inheritance of civilization in the Deep Sea era being able to continue under extremely unfavorable conditions until today should be attributed to the miracle that shines on the world:
Vision 001, the sun.

This is the most powerful vision known to mankind – in fact, due to its sheer size and the fact that its existence is so “taken for granted”, many scholars debate whether the sun itself is a vision or a natural phenomenon, but the Cretan ancient world was not the only one to have seen it. However, the first recorders after the fall of the ancient kingdom of Crete, that is, the survivors of the ancient kingdom called it simply Vision 001, and this ancient number has been passed down, and has not changed to this day.

Obviously, not all visions are horrible and harmful, and Vision 001 has brought safety to the world half the time, with the sun shining in the daytime, pollution from the depths of the world is almost always suppressed below sea level, and it is the existence of such stable daytime that has made the development of the civilizations of the various city-states possible to this day.

And according to the information left behind by the ancient kingdom of Crete, after the opening of the Deep Sea Era, before the appearance of Vision 001, there was an entire century in which this entire world was shrouded by night – the clear, cold, and dim glow of the World’s Creation illuminated the Boundless Sea for a hundred years.

That is why the people of the ancient kingdom called their country “Eternal Night”, and even called the era in which they lived by that name.

Duncan stood in front of the narrow window, looking thoughtfully at the sunlit world.

What was the world …… really like before the Great Annihilation?
Had the world ever had a sun to shine on all things before that terrible hundred years of eternal night fell?
It was thought that there had been, because no matter how many omissions and contradictions there were in the records of the various city-states in the ancient past, there was one thing that was common to all of them: the Order Era was a bright, safe, and prosperous time.

But no matter what, that era of prosperity and light has passed, and now the Boundless Sea is illuminated by Vision 001, and the world knows this and is thankful for the daylight brought by Vision 001.

Therefore, in this context, the group of cultists who worshiped the ancient “real sun” and even used it to attack the present sun in the sky, calling it the “false sun”, appeared to be particularly paranoid and distorted, and were not tolerated by the world.

They are not just attacking the sun in the sky; they are attacking the very foundation on which human civilization has struggled to survive to this day in the age of the deep sea.

However, Duncan knows that the sun …… worshipped by that group of cultists is very likely to be the real appearance of the sun that existed before the great annihilation.

From a certain point of view, that group of cultists had grasped a part of the true history – unfortunately, that true history had become the root of what made them twisted in this era.

Duncan didn’t think that the cultists’ grandiose wishes could be realized, nor did he think that they could really create a blazing fusion star just by sacrificing the living; the world was twisted in ways far beyond imagination, and the fact that the Age of the Deep had taken on this appearance was by no means explained simply by the loss of the star.

The night sky here, but there wasn’t even a single star.

Duncan returned to his room, closed the door behind him, and beckoned to the cabinet next to him to greet Aye, who was up there grinding the shell of his mouth with the top of the cabinet.

The dove landed on his shoulder and cocked his head, “Who’s calling the fleet?”

Duncan ignored the bird and instead walked over to the bed and found the sun emblem that he had previously hidden from himself in the corner of the bed, then he thought for a moment and went back to the cupboard and after opening the door he found the drawer that housed the spirits and pulled two bottles of spirits out of it.

The bottles seemed to have something taped to them, and Duncan curiously turned the bottles to see that it was a small note in Nina’s handwriting, “Drink less.”

The note seemed to have been attached a long time ago.

There was one taped to every bottle of wine, and every one of them had never produced an effect.

Duncan smiled, closed the drawers and cabinets, and returned to the bed with the two bottles of wine and the sun emblem, poking Aye again to show him what he was holding.

“Try to take them to the Lost Country, if you can.” The pigeon immediately flapped its wings and made a smug sound, “Kisses, shunfeng shipping!”

Duncan nodded and allowed himself to lie down in a comfortable position and began to prepare for the shuttle.

He had been away from the Lost Country for too long, and while nothing could happen to that ship without him watching, he, the captain, couldn’t keep himself locked up inside his room.

Nina had to go to school in the afternoon, there were some other things to do after the course and it would be late when she was done, Duncan had already talked to her about staying in the school dormitory for one more night today and coming back tomorrow afternoon after school.

And during this time, Duncan happened to study the details of the spirit world shuttle, and at the same time, according to his previous conception, test whether it was possible to control the physical activities of both sides at the same time without completely cutting off the soul projection.

Based on his perception of the Lost Country while he was on “this side”, it should be feasible.

While occupying this “fresh” body, the connection between himself and the Lost Country’s main body was obviously much stronger and more stable, which gave him confidence and inspiration.

The calculation in his heart slowly settled, Duncan gently exhaled, a little bit of green flame burned on his shoulder, crackling popping sound, pigeon Ai blink into the form of undead bird, the brass compass on his chest also “snapped” open.

Boundless darkness, luminous lines, twinkling starlight – familiar sensations came like a tide, and the track back to the Lost Country was the brightest “course” in this darkness.

Duncan’s consciousness flew along this route, and in the blink of an eye he felt his main consciousness awakening in the captain’s quarters of the Lost Country.

But before leaving that dark space, he forced a “brake” with his control of the spirit fire and his soul, to try to preserve the connection between himself and the “antique store”… …

Inside the captain’s quarters of the Lost Country, Duncan slowly opened his eyes.

He looked down at his hands, then around him, and saw the familiar furnishings and the familiar sound of the waves in his ears.

He slowly rose from his chair while the touch of another body was clearing through the depths of his consciousness!

A smile slowly appeared on Duncan’s face, and then, as he understood it, he began to try to perceive and control his other body, located within the antique store, through that little distant connection.

He tried several times.

Within the city-state of Prand, on the second floor of Duncan’s Antique Shop, the “Antique Shopkeeper”, who was lying quietly on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes!
The next second, this body lying on the bed with a stiff expression a little turn his head, as if a zombie like left and right to look at the room, and then slowly move his arms and legs, as if forcibly manipulating a rusty machine, so that their own limbs began to move.

If this scene was seen by outsiders, I’m afraid that they would be so scared that they would go to the nearby sheriff to report that someone here was possessed by evil spirits.

Looking at it from another angle, it seems like there is nothing wrong with reporting it like that?
Duncan in the captain’s room of the Lost Country, while turning these strange thoughts in his mind, was rustily using a “remote view” to control the body to slowly start moving.

It was difficult, directing the body’s movements by some remote connection without the consciousness inside the body was harder than asking a novice to control a 28-jointed marionette.

But after many attempts, he managed to get the body, which was located within the city-state of Prand, to sit up from the bed!
The next second, the image that came remotely from his mind suddenly went skyward.

The body had planted itself on the floor ……

Duncan sighed, “Well, looks like I’ll be practicing for quite a while.”
