"what?"
Suddenly, Xiaobai let out a soft hum and instinctively widened its eyes.
Standing on the ruins, Xiaobai suddenly felt a suction force within her body, beckoning her consciousness to dive in.
This is……
Is the will of the deep sea searching for itself?
Xiao Bai was initially surprised, then her expression turned to delight.
Ah!
Has the will of the deep sea discovered something?
Chapter 1989 Countermeasures
Xiao Bai knew very well that the deep-sea will within her body wouldn't bother her with trivial matters. Every time the deep-sea will summoned her so abruptly, it meant that it had something very important to tell her, and this matter was most likely related to what she was currently doing.
Isn't that just something that happens in the ruins area?
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai felt a little excited.
The will of the deep sea must have discovered something it hadn't discovered before!
Xiao Bai looked around and found a relatively clean patch of floor in the surrounding ruins. Then, he sat down on the floor, closed his eyes, and obeyed the call of the deep sea will, slowly sinking his consciousness into the spiritual world.
-
In the secluded villa of the spiritual world.
Xiao Bai's body slowly emerged from mid-air and landed on the sofa like a feather.
"...Is it because I was guided back to the spiritual world by the Will of the Deep Sea...? This time it went so smoothly." Xiao Bai felt the touch of the leather sofa beneath her, opened her eyes, and looked towards the villa's living room. "Will of the Deep Sea? Are you there?"
Before Xiaobai was an empty villa living room.
"Hmm? Deep Sea Meaning..."
"I'm here." Just as Xiaobai was about to speak, the faint voice of the Deep Sea Will suddenly rang out beside Xiaobai.
"Eek!" Little White jumped up from the sofa in surprise. She turned her head to look at her side and saw that the Will of the Deep Sea was sitting next to her. She was holding a cage in her hand, and inside the cage, a small goldfish was swimming happily among the floating water droplets.
"What's wrong?" The Will of the Deep Sea put down the cage and looked at Little White.
"Uh...no, it's nothing...you used to keep your distance from me, but this time you suddenly stayed so close, I'm a little taken aback..." Xiaobai scratched his head sheepishly, looked at the birdcage in Deep Sea Will's hand, and smiled at Deep Sea Will, "Is the thing in this birdcage...the Deep Sea Frigate you captured before?"
"Hmm. Let's take it out for a walk."
"Oh..." Xiaobai looked thoughtfully at the birdcage of the Deep Sea Will.
The goldfish in the birdcage was resting on a water droplet as big as a fist, suspended in mid-air, swimming happily in the droplet. The Deep Sea Will held the birdcage like it was walking a bird, watching the goldfish inside vigorously wagging its tail.
Such science fiction scenarios are virtually impossible in the real world; they can only be achieved in one's own mental world.
Xiao Bai stuck her finger into the birdcage and poked at the round water droplets.
As Xiaobai poked the water droplet, a ripple appeared on its surface, and the little goldfish inside swam more vigorously.
"So cute," Xiaobai said with a smile.
"..." The Will of the Deep Sea glanced at Little White, then gently placed the birdcage on the coffee table in front of the sofa. "Why don't you ask me why I called you in this time?"
"It's just a matter of finding out sooner or later." Xiaobai smiled as she looked at the Deep Sea Will. "Besides, I feel especially at ease when I'm with you, Deep Sea Will. Isn't it nice to find other reasons to spend more time with you?"
"Hmph..." Deep Sea Will gave a faint hum, not expressing anything. She leaned back on the sofa, clenched her little fist to prop up her cheek, crossed her legs and twirled them in the air. Then she said to Little White, "The reason I called you in this time is the same as you guessed."
"Deep Sea Will, you really discovered the secret of the ruins area?"
"It's too early to say what the secret is..." The Will of the Deep Sea shook her head, tilting her head to look at Little White, "...I think you may have some misconceptions about my abilities. Even I am not an omniscient and omnipotent being...I am simply a little stronger than you, a little better at maneuvering, and a little more knowledgeable than you."
"...In our culture, this is what you call omniscience and omnipotence..."
"loquacious."
"Okay, okay, I won't talk about this anymore." Xiaobai covered her mouth and stammered to the Deep Sea Will, "Then, Deep Sea Will, did you find the source of that black light in the ruined city?"
"More or less." The Will of the Deep Sea nodded. "That thing is still quite far from you. I'll give you the exact location information after you get out, and then you can go there and dig."
"Oh, oh, oh... that's easy. As expected, the Will of the Deep Sea is the most reliable..." Xiao Bai couldn't help but sigh softly, but soon raised an eyebrow and turned to ask, "Uh, speaking of which, Will of the Deep Sea, how did you find that thing? I spent most of the day wandering around the ruins and didn't find anything..."
“Of course you won’t find it if you search aimlessly on the surface.” The Will of the Deep Sea said, pointing downwards, “because that thing is down there.”
"Huh?" Little White looked down following the Deep Sea Will's finger. "...The seabed?"
"Ah."
"You managed to find this?"
"The aura of the deep sea is as clear to me as a firefly in the dark," the Will of the Deep Sea said to Little White, resting his chin on his hand. "It's not difficult for me."
“Deep-sea aura…” Xiaobai murmured the words of the deep-sea will, blinking, “So, the thing that emitted the black light earlier was indeed an object related to the deep-sea aura?”
"Nine times out of ten."
"...That's so strange. Actually, that black light was quite obvious, so why was I the only one who saw it..." Xiaobai muttered in confusion.
“…That black light isn’t something everyone can detect.” The Will of the Deep Sea looked at Xiaobai’s profile and shook his head. “That thing isn’t a physical object at all, but a phenomenon that’s a mixture of deep-sea energy and spiritual power. So you didn’t perceive that black light with your eyes before, but rather your spiritual power happened to overlap with the spiritual power fluctuations within it at a certain moment, so you sensed it by chance.”
"Huh? Is that so?"
“Basic operation. If you trained your mental strength a few more times, you wouldn’t be unaware of it.” The Deep Sea Will said to Xiaobai, “So those other Deep Seas in this city whose mental strength is not up to par, no matter how long they stare at this place, will not be able to detect anything.”
"Oh, I see... I see." Little White clasped her hands together. "I'm starting to understand all of this!"
"Now that you understand, you can go out. I'll give you the specific location information later."
"Okay! Uh, speaking of which... Deep Sea Will, do you know what the real thing is like down there? Is it dangerous?" Little White asked the Deep Sea Will cautiously.
"...Although I'm not entirely sure what it is, it shouldn't be a threat." The Will of the Deep Sea rested its chin on its hand, looking at its toes, and said calmly, "Besides, if anything unexpected happens that is beyond your control, I will intervene."
"I understand." Xiaobai nodded with a smile.
"Hmm." The Will of the Deep Sea nodded gently.
The atmosphere in the living room quieted down for a short while.
The will of the deep sea turned its head and found that Xiaobai had not left, but was sitting on the sofa with a smile, staring at it.
"…What are you doing?"
"Well... actually, after entering the ruined city with Super and the other two, especially after spending time with the Deep Sea Dean here a few times, I still felt a little insecure..." Xiaobai whispered to the Deep Sea Will, then suddenly gave the Deep Sea Will a relieved smile, "But after having a good talk with you, Deep Sea Will, I suddenly felt that there was nothing to be afraid of."
“… disgusting.”
"Hehe... I'll be going now!" Little White stood up, waved to the Will of the Deep Sea, and her body began to ethereal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Will of the Deep Sea didn't look at Xiaobai. She yawned and waved dismissively at Xiaobai's transformed body.
Xiao Bai's body slowly disappeared.
Deep Sea Will rested its chin on its hand, silently watching the birdcage on the coffee table. The little goldfish inside the cage noticed Deep Sea Will's gaze and quickly began to wag its tail, putting on a lively performance in the fist-sized water droplets.
The Deep Sea Will quickly looked away from the birdcage. She took a deep breath, then reached under her bottom and rummaged around for a while before pulling out a palm-sized blue crystal ball.
The Will of the Deep Sea examined the crystal ball in its hand.
It seemed as if a wisp of blue smoke was trapped inside the crystal ball. The blue smoke rushed around inside the crystal ball, trying to break free of its confinement. But every time the blue smoke touched the edge of the crystal ball, it would shrink back to the center of the crystal ball as if it had been electrocuted. This cycle repeated itself endlessly.
"Crack."
The Will of the Deep Sea crushed the crystal ball in her hand. The blue smoke inside the ball scattered in all directions like a bow ready to be released. However, as the Will of the Deep Sea waved her hand, not a single drop of the scattered blue smoke was restrained by an invisible wave and brought back to the Will of the Deep Sea's palm. She held it in her hand and it struggled and thrashed incessantly like a small snake.
"Little tricks."
The Deep Sea Will first watched the blue smoke struggle with apparent enjoyment, then gently pinched its fingers, and the blue smoke made a hissing sound, its whole body trembling and twisting violently. Finally, as if its vitality had been drained, it obediently settled in the Deep Sea Will's palm.
"She's just a newly enlightened Dean of the Deep Sea, yet she dares to use her mental power as a weapon, completely unaware of its limitations... Does she think her body is an inn, where she can come and go as she pleases?" The Deep Sea Will muttered to the blue smoke, finally a pleased smile curving its lips. "Since you're so eager to pamper her... then I'll give you a special opportunity..."
"However... this is on the premise that you will obey my every command..."
The Will of the Deep Sea tossed the blue wisp of smoke in its hand into the air.
A giant mouth appeared in the void, swallowed the blue wisp of smoke in one gulp, and disappeared.
"Link."
-
In the ruined city, in Kamikaze's small building.
"Snapped!"
As she was putting on her clothes and humming a song, a sudden, sharp pain, as if struck by lightning, flashed through her mind. She immediately shrank back, squinted her eyes, and covered her forehead.
"hiss……"
The pain disappeared quickly.
It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
Kamikaze lowered his hand in confusion, looking at his fair palm. He couldn't help but frown, his blue eyes filled with bewilderment.
"just……"
"What happened...?"
Kamikaze muttered to himself.
However, after a short while, feeling that there was nothing unusual about his body, Kamikaze put the previous abnormality out of his mind, hummed a little tune, and continued with his work.
Chapter 1990 The "Treasure" of the Seabed
After leaving the spiritual world, Xiaobai's consciousness returned to her body.
"what!"
Xiao Bai opened its eyes, stood up from its spot with boundless energy, and then stretched.
"I didn't expect there to be something in this ruined area that no one else has discovered... It truly lives up to its reputation as the Will of the Deep Sea..." Little White muttered to himself as he left the ruins beneath his feet and returned to the waterway beside him, waiting for the Will of the Deep Sea to provide him with specific location information.
Xiao Bai stood there for a short while, but the deep-sea will within her did not react.
"Huh? Why haven't you sent me a message yet..." Xiaobai wondered. In her memory, the Deep Sea Will's actions were always very swift and efficient. Usually, as soon as her consciousness returned, the Deep Sea Will's message would appear in her mind immediately after her consciousness returned...
Xiao Bai waited in place for a while, puzzled.
"Did something happen to the Deep Sea Will...?"
Just as Xiaobai was considering whether to return to the spiritual world to see the will of the deep sea, a refreshing message finally bloomed in Xiaobai's mind like a flower bud.
"Ah, it's coming!"
Xiao Bai responded and quickly closed his eyes to feel it.
The message that the will of the deep sea transmitted to him was a map. Perhaps because Xiaobai had not previously conducted a large-scale mental scan of the city, the surrounding information on the map was very blurry. Only Xiaobai's current location and another clearly marked red cross were recorded very clearly.
Don't think about it.
That little red cross must be the location that the Deep Sea Will marked for itself.
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai couldn't wait to head in the direction the Deep Sea Will had pointed out to him.
The marker point is located at the deepest part of the ruins.
Xiao Bai walked straight to the target location. He first looked around and found that it was exactly the same as other ruins. The surrounding area was full of ordinary broken walls and ruins, and at first glance there was nothing special about it.
"Without the help of the Deep Sea Will... I probably would never have imagined that the thing that attracted me was underwater..." Xiaobai muttered to herself. Following the map in her mind, she walked to the location marked by the little red cross. The location marked by the little red cross was a waterway very close to a severely collapsed ruin.
Little White walked onto the waterway, took a deep breath, and lowered its head as if to dive into the water.
However, just a second before Xiaobai was about to dive underwater.
Xiaobai suddenly stopped moving.
"Ah, right, right..." Xiaobai glanced at the mental mark left by Frederick the Great on her palm, thought for a moment, and muttered, "Hmm... Although Frederick and the others didn't stop me from wandering around here, but... wouldn't it be easy to arouse suspicion if I just ran straight towards the secret... I should probably take precautions first..."
Xiao Bai gently blew on the mental energy mark on her palm, and then the golden light spot in her palm floated out and landed on the nearby ground.
When the Deep Sea Will helped Xiaobai remove this mark last time, it casually used its mental power to modify the mark into a state that could be disassembled at will. When Xiaobai removed the mark again, it no longer needed to ask the Deep Sea Will for help.
After removing Frederick the Great's mark, Xiaobai finally felt relieved. She covered her mouth and nose, jumped lightly on the surface of the water, and then, with a gurgle, disappeared into the depths.
The seawater, filled with the scent of the deep sea, is jet black.
As soon as Xiaobai's body submerged underwater, the dark seawater, under the will of the deep sea, formed a circular defensive shield around Xiaobai, enveloping him as he slowly descended.
After sinking for only a few seconds, the underwater light source completely disappeared, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness. The only sound was the continuous gurgling of the water as Xiaobai sank.
