Chapter 701 – The Bottom of the Deep
Misty.
DDT-!
Amidst the ruins of the crumbling city, the three of them were walking side by side on top of the deserted road, just then, an electronic tone suddenly rang out from the knight’s arms.
The knight was stunned, and then quickly took out the pixel style detection device, only to see that on the screen of the device, a red dot appeared somewhere out of nowhere, and was rapidly pulsing.
”What’s wrong?” Wu Xiangnan asked.
”The ‘paratroopers’ have arrived near the gap and have already set up a signal transmitting device there.” The knight debugged the device as he said, “Next, we only need to find this signal transmitting source, and then we can enter the ‘human circle’ through the gap to join him.”
Calan’s eyes lit up, “We can go in?”
”Uh-huh.” The knight nodded and carefully observed the map for a moment, “This place is in Hokkaido, only it doesn’t seem to be on land …… the gap is in the sea?”
”How far is it from land?”
”About three kilometers, but the depth is a bit deep.”
”Three kilometers? …… We can directly drive a boat over.” Wu Xiangnan pondered, “There seems to be diving equipment on board, but there are only two sets.”
”I don’t need that kind of stuff.” Calan said.
”I don’t need it either.” The knight shrugged, “Our Knight Order relies on cultivating our flesh to strengthen ourselves, such a small distance and depth is not a problem for me at all.”
”……”
Wu Xiangnan glanced at the duo with an odd expression, “Alright, you guys are great, then I’ll wear it.”
With a clear goal this time, the three of them picked up speed, quickly returning the same way to the coast where the ship was anchored, then steered the ship towards the piece of sea shown on the map.
The ship broke through the tumbling waves and gradually approached the location where the red dot was flashing, the knight stood in front of the ship and looked ahead, after confirming that he had arrived at the place, he put the equipment away and said seriously to Jia Lan and Wu Xiangnan behind him:
”You guys don’t have any experience in entering the ‘human circle’, there are a few points that you must pay attention to, so I’ll talk to you about them in advance.
First of all, the ‘Circle of Man’ is essentially a territory or artifact used to keep humans captive in the divine Kingdom, which means that it is most likely under the watchful eye of a certain deity, or artifact spirit, and there is a high probability that you cannot use the forbidden ruins after entering it, and once you use it to generate power fluctuations, you will most likely be obliterated by the deity or artifact spirit.
Of course, if it’s a passive type of Forbidden Ruin that doesn’t generate power fluctuations, it can be used normally.”
Caran’s [Immortality] and Lin Qiye’s [Starry Night Dancer] were essentially similar, both were passive-type forbidden ruins that acted on themselves and wouldn’t attract their attention.
But Wu Xiangnan was a bit torn.
His Forbidden Ruin was Sequence 233’s [Rebirth], which was essentially a way to resurrect again after death by running the Forbidden Ruin, and it was hard to say whether or not it could avoid the attention of the gods and artifacts……. The big deal was that he didn’t use the Forbidden Ruin, and anyway, his battle power didn’t come from the Forbidden Ruin.
Wu Xiangnan touched the sword bag behind his back, slightly at ease.
Since Cangnan Lin Qiye used the “miracle” to repair his palm, he could hold a sword again, and the fearless sword heart that he once lost also returned, now he is no longer the disheveled vice-captain of Cangnan City Team 136, but the original team member of the [Blue Rain] team, the “Immortal Swordsman! “Wu Xiangnan.
”Secondly, in the ‘Circle of Man’, there aren’t just captive ordinary people, the gods of the Divine Kingdom, in order to prevent problems from occurring in the ‘Circle of Man’ will ‘ In order to prevent problems from occurring in the ‘Circle of Man’, the gods of the divine Kingdom would select humans and empower them to act as avatars of the gods and maintain the operation of the entire ‘Circle of Man’.
Without being able to use the Forbidden Ruins, it will be hard for us to win against them, so we should try to avoid clashing with them, hide ourselves completely, and wait until the large force of our Upper Evil Society kills us before we can set off a frontal conflict.
One more thing, don’t try to change the monstrous worldview or beliefs that the captive humans in the ‘human circle’ have already developed.”
Hearing the last sentence, Wu Xiangnan was a bit puzzled, “Why?”
”Under the perennial theocratic rule, the way of thinking and the code of conduct of the humans residing within the ‘human circle’ will inevitably be different from ours, and some of their actions will even baffle us, but this kind of erroneous thinking and cognition has been passed down over the years, and after a hundred years of accumulation, the formed a complete system, almost unbreakable.
Wanting to change this kind of corrupt thinking and heart requires a lot of time and energy, it’s simply impossible for the average person to do so, and once we do so, it will inevitably cause the residents to revolt, and in their eyes, we are the deviants, and in doing so, our own existence will be exposed to the vision of the ”Divine Surrogate” that I’ve just mentioned and Causing a massive hunt, after all, such a practice would be tantamount to destroying the very foundation of the stable existence of the ‘Human Circle’.
We are just outsiders, our purpose is to destroy the ‘Circle of Man’ and find the entrance to the High Heavenly Plains, there’s no need to take risks and waste time and energy on such matters.”
After the knight finished speaking, both Garland and Wu Xiangnan fell into silence.
”Understood.” They nodded.
After the three of them finished their preparations, they dived into the deep ocean floor according to where the red dot was located.
As the depth of the dive became greater and greater, coupled with the fact that it was already dark outside right now, the seawater was pitch black, and only the waterproof flashlights worn by the three of them projected columns of light that pierced through the void and claustrophobic depths of the deep sea, falling to who knows where.
It was like they were floating in a suffocatingly dark universe, exploring towards the depths.
Due to the erosion of the mist, there were no living creatures in the sea, except for those powerful Mysteries, nothing could survive in this environment.
Jia Lan gripped the black box tightly, her dark blue robe fluttering slowly in the sea, diving towards the deep sea, at the same time, her eyes were always alert to the surrounding area, to prevent any powerful “mysterious” suddenly appeared and attacked them.
The three of them so dive for an unknown period of time, finally, the dark deep sea in front of their eyes changed inexplicably.
In the depths of the sea, gradually, there are three flashlight columns of light from the bottom, and the beams of light from them overlap together, as if in the bottom of the deep sea, there are three people floating upward.
Knight, Wu Xiangnan, the pupils of the three suddenly contracted.
Where did the flashlight glow come from on the dead black bottom of the sea?
Is it a mirror image?
Wu Xiangnan quickly discovered the linkage between those three beams of light and the three of them, and the idea surfaced in his mind, just then, at the end of their vision, in the land of the deep sea, a hazy, psychedelic, oversized mirror, replacing the reefs, silently spread out on the bottom of the sea.
In the mist, at the very bottom of the Japanese waters, was a copper mirror so large that it was nearly limitless.
