If you want to find a different path within a story with a fixed direction, there are only two results. One is that the story is broken violently and the story no longer holds true, and the second is that it is forcibly corrected.

Corpse trains, weird factories, etc., the price for disobeying the rules is heavy.

The same goes for this black sea space. The endless black sea at the stern of the ship, which is impossible to stand on, is obviously a declaration sent by this space to the intruders - they don't mind leaving from here, there is nothing ahead, no story... and no exit.

"It seems that passing through the sea and stone forest is the test of this chair." Zhou Ming said.

Ping Xingyue: "It seems so."

Zhou Ming came to the bow of the ship again, where two giant rocks shot straight into the clouds like sharp swords.

After determining the climbing route, Zhou Ming suddenly paused when he stepped on the ship's railing.

"Where's your crew? You're the only one on the whole ship?"

"Everyone has left, and I wish you good luck." St. Louis smiled.

Zhou Ming didn't say anything else, and jumped out of the pirate ship gracefully. Like a sensitive ape, he grabbed the sharp protrusions on the reef with both hands.

He tried to activate the Realm of Extreme Ice, but the result was that he couldn't activate it just like the Strange Factory.

Thinking about it, if spells can be used, for many people, this test will not be considered a test. Even full vision cannot be used in this place.

Relying on his excellent physical fitness, Zhou Ming climbed down carefully, taking every step with great care. Although the height was not high, he saw dense stone thorns below, some of which were exposed to the sea, and some were lurking on the bottom of the sea. Only the waves let the water surface

It only pops up when it transforms.

If I fall directly now, I'm afraid I won't fall into the sea, but will be stabbed like a hedgehog.

Zhou Ming planned the route carefully and planned every movement accurately to ensure that there would be no inability to adjust his body.

The further down he climbed, the slipperier the rock surface became, because the rocks below had been eroded by waves for a long time and were smoother and less angular.

The rain had already wet his clothes. He lowered his head and struggled to find a place to stay. He clasped his fingers on the rocks, raised his head and gritted his teeth, and looked around in the face of the raindrops.

We are close to the sea, and there is no place to stand under our feet. One foot keeps slipping on the smooth rock wall. This is the end point closest to the sea.

Zhou Ming saw the landing point accurately, let go of his hands and fell into the water. His body sank into the cold sea water, and the familiar low temperature enveloped him.

He opened his eyes underwater. The water was a transparent dark gray, stretching up from the depths of the sea. Straight stone thorns hung under him, and behind the stone thorns, there was the deepest black under the sea.

In the dead silence, only the undercurrent of the seabed surged, and the beautiful singing penetrated the seawater and reached the ears, like three-dimensional surround sound.

"I sleep in the evening wind

The warm sunset keeps me company

A quiet night is coming

Everyone should sleep in the arms of their loved ones

…

Use moonlight to make a gauze garment

walking alone on the beach

If I could sleep in the arms of someone dear to me

Then I will run home now..."

The vague singing sound reached Zhou Ming's ears, his brain buzzed, and his heart almost stopped beating. He choked on his saliva and rushed out of the sea.

Someone was singing, and he had heard this song before. It was a children's song that he often sang when he was a child.

Zhou Ming didn't pay too much attention. It's natural for weird things to happen in weird places. It's best to keep your attention to the level of remembering but not thinking about it deeply. If you think deeply about weird events, your spirit may deviate from the normal track.

But if you don't remember it, you may miss important key clues.

The rain hit the undulating sea surface. Zhou Ming followed the undulating waves, slowly paddling his limbs, and swam towards the nearest reef above the water. When he came to the reef, not far away was a coast under the cliff.

There is no way to go on the coast, but you can stay for a short time. There are many sailors there. Those sailors cling to the shadow of the rock wall, motionless like corpses, as if they were hiding from the rain, and they did not react at all when they saw Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming did not approach them. After identifying the direction, he jumped into the sea again and continued swimming towards the exit. Ethereal songs came from all directions, most of them were weird tunes that he could not understand. Only the familiar one

Chinese songs were mixed in, which was particularly harsh.

Zhou Ming's legs were paddling under the water, and suddenly he felt a strong wave of water hitting his thighs. The wave came from the deeper ocean, as if something was squeezing the sea water, creating the undercurrent just now.

!

It felt like... there was something huge under the sea, and it seemed to be swimming towards him.

A strong sense of crisis stimulated Zhou Ming's brain, and the cerebral cortex continued to release danger signals as if it was stimulated by electric current!

Most people's first thought at this time is to return to the reef, because there is an unknown distance of ocean in front of them, and although the land behind them is small, it is very close.

But Zhou Ming let go of his hands and feet and swam forward with all his strength. He buried his head in the seawater and stared at the lower surface of the water with his eyes wide open. The seawater was very clear, but it was a transparent dark gray, from shallow to deep, from gray to deep.

black.

He saw a shapeless black shadow in the darkness, which was gradually getting bigger. Was it an indescribably huge mouth? Or was it a giant snake that was twisting and rising rapidly?

The undercurrents hit his skin one after another, conveying a terrifying message to him: The giant thing from the deep sea is coming, and it has surfaced now!

The terrifying death enveloped him like a huge wing covering the sky. He gritted his teeth and swam forward, trying his best to suppress the trembling in his body, and his head was almost blank.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally climbed up to the narrow shore on the opposite side. The moment he landed, he felt that he was saved, and the oppressive feeling of being chased by a high-level predator disappeared in an instant.

Zhou Ming gasped and looked at the ocean behind him with lingering fear. He looked across a stone forest. He was only 500 meters away from the pirate ship.

"That was the test just now? Did I pass it?"

No one answered him, and Ping Xingyue disappeared at some point.

He called in his heart, but Ping Xingyue didn't come out again.

...He was left alone.

This situation also happened in the Weird Factory. Ping Xingyue's appearance seems to be closely related to his mental state. From this, it seems that his current mental state is not healthy.

It must have been the influence of the giant thing in the deep sea just now. Even when I think about it now, the feeling of heart palpitations is still clear.

The singing in my ears became clearer, beautiful tunes came from all directions, and the siren in St. Louis's mouth was dormant nearby.

Regarding the legend of singing sirens, Zhou Ming’s impression comes from Greek mythology. In mythology, these sirens are half-human and half-bird monsters. They sing bewitching songs and use their songs to confuse the voyagers and make them crazy.
