?Chapter 493: Chapter 494: Followers’ Gathering Chapter 493: Chapter 494: Followers’ Gathering Accompanied by a wave and rippling water, the submersible surged out of the sea.
The afternoon sun was shining brightly on the ocean, its rays giving the submersible’s thick hull an icy glow. Then, the disposable smoke device on the top of the hull activated, flashing with firelight, followed by a faint explosion, and an orange smoke pillar rose straight into the blue sky.
After a period of posture and power adjustment, the submersible stabilized in its floating state. With creaking sounds, the locking mechanism on the side of the hull opened, and Duncan turned the handle from inside to open the hatch of the submersible.
Fresh air rushed in—even for two “corpses” that did not need to breathe, the fresh, cool breeze above the sea seemed quite comforting and pleasant.
The illusion of being constantly chased, entangled, and delayed by indescribable beings in the deep sea finally gradually receded from their minds. Agatha clutched the handrail and climbed out of the hatch with Duncan, pulling herself up onto the outer shell atop the submersible, gazing over the vast expanse of sea at a distance.
Duncan turned his head slightly and looked at the gatekeeper beside him, “How does it feel to be back in the sunlight?”
“Like returning once again from the gates of the realm of death,” Agatha said softly, “I never thought sunlight and air could bring such a nearly reborn shock—after I’ve become unable to feel the warmth of the sun or enjoy effortless breathing.”
“What about ‘her’?” Duncan asked again, “Throughout the submarine journey, the other Agatha never appeared, but she must have been watching, right?”
“We share similar feelings, but she said she has some matters to ponder over for a while and is currently silent—Would you like to speak with her? I can call her forth…”
“No need to bother her. Let her think. The deep dive will be a reshaping and baptism of worldview for everyone involved. There’s a lot we need to consider,” Duncan waved his hand gently and then looked up towards the distant horizon, “Oh, the ‘recovery ship’ sent by Tyrion has spotted us. Looks like we won’t need to make our own way to the City-State.”
