Chapter 119 – The Field of Fire
Smoke rose up, a faint glow of fire mixed in with the smoke as someone ran through the streets in alarm, and Duncan’s eyes widened slightly the moment he heard that alarm.

Museum …… The Maritime Museum …… near the Crossroads neighborhood Nina!
Nina had been visiting with her classmates this afternoon in the Marine Museum near the Crossroads neighborhood, in the very direction where the smoke had risen!
Duncan took a step to rush in the direction of the museum, but he soon realized that it would not be easy to run to the museum from this neighborhood, even if the smoke was at a distance visible to the naked eye, the winding roads would waste quite a lot of time, and it was not practical to take a taxi to get there – not to mention that this place did not have that convenient and sufficient transportation resources, even if he could really stop a car, I’m afraid no one would be willing to drive him to that dangerous fire.

Duncan’s mind was rapidly calculating, he was in a hurry but did not lose his cool, after quickly organizing the current situation, a bold thought appeared in his mind.

“Aye!” He suddenly ordered in his mind while quickening his pace on his feet, darting and dodging into the shadows of a building in a nearby alley.

With a flash of green spiritual fire, Ai, who was originally patrolling nearby, emerged out of thin air and landed on Duncan’s shoulder with a flap of its wings.

Duncan craned his head to look at the dove, his mind already sorting through his thoughts:

It is known that this bird can carry solid matter through space, and in the process of shuttling to ensure that the “goods” intact, and also know that this bird’s carrying capacity is very sufficient, and the current several tests have never arrived at the bottleneck.

Then …… it is not possible to “bring” itself to the museum side?
This bold idea quickly firm, Duncan heart also at the same time slightly sigh – he has never tried to let Ai carry a living person shuttle, this is after all a dangerous attempt, and he recently really did not find suitable for the cause of the research of the cultists, originally he was prepared to wait for Ai’s” hunting” after the harvest. Originally, he was prepared to wait for Ai’s “hunting” harvest before arranging human trials, did not expect this to happen …… but this is good.

Since you can not find the tester, then use their own body and soul not afraid of death to do the first experimental object – no matter what, Ai at least can ensure that the “goods” itself in the transportation process of integrity, that is to say, at least this body can be completely intact! In other words, at least this body can arrive in one piece in the neighborhood where the museum is located, and if this body really died again due to the mysterious power during the transmission process,……, then the big deal is that he projected himself from the Lost Country and possessed himself once again, as the second upload.

“I want you to ‘make a delivery’,” Duncan touched Aye’s wing, “to that museum in the Crossroads neighborhood – the one you had flown over this morning near that large white building.”

Aye cocked his head, as smart as a human could be, and realized Duncan’s intentions as soon as he saw the smoke in the sky, “A road trip?”

“Just tell me if it’s okay.”

“Whole ……”

“Whole.”

The pigeon flapped its wings vigorously without saying a word, and a burst of green spiritual fire then burst into flames out of nowhere, transforming it into a spiritual bone pigeon, which then rose into the air and quickly circled around Duncan – the next second, the ghostly green flames flickered and disappeared, and Duncan had already transformed into a stream of light and was hidden in the vortex formed by the flames.

A second later, a snow-white dove soared out of the shadows deep in the street and quickly dashed towards the black column of smoke that was intensifying over the next block.

Near the Marine Museum in the Crossroads neighborhood, firefighters rushing from the fire station had already begun to try to fight the sudden blaze, thanks to the Crossroads neighborhood’s relatively good infrastructure and the museum’s own special attributes as a public place, there were not only resident firefighting units in the neighborhood, but also plenty of emergency pumps and evacuation ports, and as the firefighters began to try to extinguish the blaze, a As the firefighters began to try to extinguish the fire, a portion of the people trapped in the museum escaped from the evacuation ports on both sides of the main building and gathered fearfully at the edge of the plaza.

People were discussing in horror the fires that had suddenly sprung up in the corridors and halls, the whistling and strange popping noises from deep within the museum, and certain misplaced and strange shapes and figures – some people, apparently hallucinating under severe stress, were describing overly gruesome sights to those around them, and this was adding to the spreading panic.

But the professionals had already acted, the clergy and resident guards of the Plaza Church were experienced in dealing with such precursors of contamination caused by mass mental stress, and two priests had already stepped into the crowd and lit incense around the most agitated to calm the victims’ over-excited moods, while a few others began to divide the crowd, taking those with potential contamination hazards away from the group individually in preparation for The following mental calming and will-checking were carried out.

In the shadows of a building a few dozen meters away from the museum square, a green flame suddenly rose.

The green flames hovered and coalesced, like a gate unfolding out of thin air, Duncan stepped out from it, the silk flame flow entangled in his body faded with the wind, he walked towards the shadows, and the pigeon, Ai, flapped its wings and landed steadily on his shoulder.

Duncan glanced back at Aye, making a mental note of his new experience and how it felt to be transported alive.

As he had expected, Aye had arrived at the museum by “flight” rather than “instantly” as he usually did when traveling between the antique store and the Lost Country.

This means that Aey’s “teleportation” must be based on anchor points – in the case of the antique store and the Lost Country, the anchors are the “antique shopkeeper” and the “captain”, respectively. “Captain”, but when it carries one of these anchors, it can only honestly fly in real space to get there.

As for the feeling of being “carried” by Ai during the flight …… is very wonderful. He did not lose consciousness in the process, but also could not smoothly observe the surrounding area, through the connection of the spiritual body fire, he could vaguely share Ai’s perception, and even vaguely see some of the images of the sky overlooking the air, and feel the sensation of the airflow blowing over the body, but all of these “common senses” are as if they are separated by a layer of curtains, and can not be as clear and intuitive as his own body. But all these “shared sensations” seemed to be separated by a curtain, and could not be as clear and intuitive as one’s own body.

Perhaps …… this is because Ai’s body structure is very different from that of human beings, or perhaps it is because Ai has its own will, and therefore cannot be completely taken over and controlled.

But this is a small problem, Duncan now also do not care – today in a hurry to unlock Ai’s “new function” has been considered a huge gain, there are any details of the problem he can be pushed later, the most important thing is to confirm the situation of Nina.

Flying wasn’t as fast as teleporting, of course, and it had taken him a few minutes to “fly” from the neighborhood, but compared to running or taking a regular mode of transportation, it was amazingly fast – he hadn’t been in a hurry for too long.

Duncan had already seen the large building on fire, he saw that the main building of the white museum was divided into three floors, the first and second floors of which were the most fiercely burning, with smoke pouring out of several windows on the second floor, and bursts of flames spewing outward from several of them, while a column of smoke could be seen on the roof of the building, with flames rising from it.

These distributed fires actually looked as if a huge column of fire had erupted from the first floor of the museum, striking all the way through several floors and roofs.

Firefighters had activated several hydrants at the edge of the plaza, and huge jets of high-pressure water were being sprayed on the museum’s main floor to try to suppress the temperature of the building’s exterior walls and prevent a more fatal collapse of the century-old building, while a number of survivors were gathering at the edge of the plaza to be calmed by priests or to answer inquiries from official personnel.

Duncan walked straight toward those survivors, checking to make sure Nina’s figure was among them as he went.

Halfway there, he could hear some of those survivors shuddering as they described what they had seen-

“…… fire came out of nowhere from the air! It literally appeared out of thin air! It was like it had been burning for a long, long time and no one had seen it, and then it just came out of nowhere!”

“There was a whistling sound, a sharp whistling sound, like the devil mocking!”

“…… A charred man crawled out of the room, Goddess above! It was a man in decades old clothes …… He crawled out of the room, but that room wasn’t even on fire before! The fire was just burning after the man crawled out!”

The survivors at the edge of the plaza were extremely panicked, many of them describing the horrifying scene upside down, and Duncan came next to them to see that a deep-sea church cleric with a short black beard and priest’s robes had frowned deeply.

“The panic ratio is too high, a third of the people are mentally unstable, these people show signs of being contaminated by transcendent powers ……” this deep sea priest frowned and spoke rapidly to the Guardian warrior next to him, “the museum There may be something unclean in it …… When will the support from the cathedral arrive?”

“At least another half hour.”

“…… No, it’s too late, if there really is something unclean, looking at this scale I’m afraid it will be out of control within ten minutes ……” The black-robed priest twisted his head to look at the museum, and then immediately suddenly turning to a squire beside him, “Ask the magistrates to take over this side.”

He then ripped off the priestly robe he was wearing, revealing the short black shirt and pants underneath, before raising the Storm Primer in his hand again and offering a loud and brief benediction-

“Please bear witness! We go forward!”

Several of the remaining Guardians chanted in unison, “Please bear witness!”

After the benediction, a faint layer of water mist had floated around the several Storm Devotees, surrounding their bodies like the waves of the sea sheltering them, and in the next second, they rushed towards the still-burning building with great strides.
