Chapter 202 Finding People

Duncan looked at old Mr. Morris in surprise due to how much of a mess the person was in.

Good day. What happened? You look like you ran all the way through the rain to get here. He slowly came down the stairs and greeted the old scholar:

Dun Mr. Duncan, Morris replied and took off his already-soaked hat, I need your help I dont know how to explain this to you, and I dont know if youre willing to take action, but I found that Ender Missionaries are operating in the city. Theyre tampering with the history of Pland, and I

The older man stopped after getting stuck on finding the next word.

He seemed to realize how presumptuous his act of asking for help was and realized that asking for help from a subspatial being with an unclear position was in itself irrational.

Would Mr. Duncan help with this?

Why should he do this favor?

Did the survival of humanity and the survival of the city-state matter to him?

What threat do the Enders pose to him?

Morris just stood there in a stunned state until Duncan broke the air with a nod, I know.

The chaotic starlight, the broken mirrors, the giant of light and shadow with mortal skin just answered his query like it was nothing.

You know? Morris was stunned but returned to his senses fast, Ah, yes Of course, you wouldnt need me to tell you, I

The older man threw his hat to the side, raised his hand, and patted his head like someone thats committed an idiotic mistake. Muttering: Ive really grown senile to think you wouldnt detect the abnormality in the city. Then you must also know about Vanna

Duncan immediately frowned: Vanna? The one who has a good relationship with Heidi? What happened to her?

Vanna, she disappeared, Morris was shocked when he got such a reply and took a second to process it. Then adding quickly: Im saying Heidi forgot Vannas existence, and no one else remembers her

Duncan became much more serious in his face: Sit down and speak slowly. Alice, go prepare some hot tea for us Pausing there, the shopkeeper turned to the blonde and asked something weird, Do you remember how?

Yes, Mr. Duncan. Alice chirped with a tone of glee.

Morris watched from his spot as the elegant and mysterious blonde ran up to the second floor. In his view, Miss Alices movements were bizarre. Not in a bad way of course, but rather its too smooth and elegant, which was reminiscent of ancient nobles with excellent upbringings. Unfortunately, thats something difficult to find in this modern age.

But his curiosity quickly gave way to the current state of affairs.

After sitting at the front counter, he immediately told the shopkeeper in front of him about the abnormality he had noticed and the obstacles he encountered along the way.

Duncan listened with a grim expression, only to speak after getting the full story: Ender Missionaries A bunch of troublesome guys indeed.

Yes, this group of lunatics who exiled themselves out of reality since ancient times often makes a return through the cracks in time. They are committed to destroying the continuity of history and threatening the stability of the real world But they rarely have the opportunity to make such a big ruckus like this, Morris said in a low voice. Under normal circumstances, the protection of the gods will block the penetration of the Enders before they step through, and the Flame Bearers are constantly working to strengthen the historical barrier. Those madmen must have sought outside forces to help them if they managed to break through the blockade

Your tea, old sir. Alice came over and placed the hot tea on the counter.

Thank you, Morris hurriedly thanked her and reached over to receive the beverage. After being drenched by the storm, the old scholar needs something hot to warm his soul. However, the second he took a sip, he yelled and spat it back out.

Conversely, Duncan remained indifferent to the outburst: Try to endure it. Shes at least managed to find out where the tea is. Although the amount she used is debatable.

Morris turned his head in amazement at the mysterious lady, who was already wandering back over to the stairs daydreaming.

What is the origin of this mysterious lady?

Meanwhile, Duncan carefully took a tiny sip of his brew, confirming another detail he had just learned.

The transcendent beings of this world have discovered the nonlinear nature of the Enders and the countermeasures needed to fight that group. But now, it seems that these countermeasures are not always effective.

He closed his eyes slightly, allowing his perception to reach out and connect with the mark he left within Vannas body. Its still flickering with life, a good sign.

Morris looked curiously at the shopkeeper, who was behaving oddly. Mr. Duncan, you

Dont worry, Vanna is still alive, Duncan widened his eyes again and showed a calm expression, its just that shes currently existing outside of the normal Pland.

Can you confirm her location and status? Morriss eyes widened in amazement. He was actually mainly here to pass on the news of historical pollution, and the mention of Vannas situation was only in passing. After all, from his point of view, Duncan and the city-state inquisitor should have nothing to do with each other. To think this great being already had his sights on Vanna.

Im paying attention to her. Shes a good inquisitor, Duncan didnt explain anything and just nodded indifferently. Then without indication, he got up from behind the counter.

What are you going to do? Morris promptly followed and got up as well.

Im going to bring Vanna back and take a look over there. Duncan strode towards the stairs and said without glancing back. But then he paused after remembering he still had a guest around. Do you want to go upstairs and take a hot shower? My clothes are longer than yours, but they should still do the job.

Take a bath in this subspace lair and change into the clothes of the evil god?!

Morris almost fainted at the idea. Even the four great achievements of scholars wouldnt ever dare to imagine such a feat!

With tingling skin, Morris quickly shook his head: No, no, no, no need, Ill just wait here

Then please take care of yourself. Duncan nodded and walked upstairs to find Nina and Shirley eavesdropping at the edge.

The expression on Shirleys face was a little uneasy as she greeted Duncan: Mr. Duncan, is it did something happen?

Why do you ask?

Just now we heard movement from the first floor, Shirley rubbed her hands, lowering her head as if she had done something wrong. Actually, its Dog who heard it, saying that the Enders had appeared again and polluted history or something. Someone named Vanna is missing? Sounds like a very important person

Nina also looked over with an uneasy look. She was obviously more confused than Shirley: Uncle, whats wrong?

Some small things, Duncan looked at the two girls who had vaguely sensed the turmoil approaching and felt nervous. After a little hesitation, he attempts to soothe their unease, You can rest in the house, and if you are bored, you can go to the first floor to chat with Mr. Morris. Its okay, dont worry.

Shirley nodded, but Nina still looked worried as she grabbed Duncans sleeve: Uncle, I think I feel a little scared. Is it really all right? And you What are you going to do?

Duncan stopped and quietly stared into Ninas eyes.

Just like he had noticed before, Ninas senses were actually very sharp she was not unaware of anything; she was just too sensible.

But now the situation was slightly beyond the boundaries of her sensibleness.

Nina, your uncle here is actually a very powerful person, Duncan suddenly laughed and reached out to press his hand on the top of the girls head, but I cant explain it to you yet You stay with Shirley for a while, and when its over, Ill tell you whats going on.

Just this level of reassurance still wasnt enough to calm Ninas unease. Nevertheless, as usual, the girl nodded obediently, just that her voice had grown softer: Okay.

After Nina and Shirley went downstairs following his instructions, Duncan collected his emotions and hurried back to his room, to which he summoned Ai. The bird had been munching on fries back on the Vanished.

Weve got to find someone, Duncan said with a serious look when he saw the pigeon appear, Serious and important business, double the ketchup when its done.

Ai suddenly jumped on the spot with delight: Loyalty is indescribable, loyalty is indescribable!

Duncan exhaled slightly, letting his mind sink again to link up with the flickering mark he left on Vanna.

What happened to the female inquisitor was an accident for him, but it also brought unexpected gains. Like the flames he released in Shirleys dream before!

Although he didnt know how all this happened or why Vanna could get into contact with his ghost fire, one things certain though Vanna had arrived on the other side of the curtain.

And now, this powerful inquisitor, carrying Duncans mark, has become a passage for Duncan to intervene in that curtain world.
