The strong wind swept the waves, roaring under the dead sky, and a little light appeared vaguely in the chaotic fog.
It was a ship. The hull was not big, and it was rocking violently in the waves. On the bow, a beautiful figure wearing a dark blue Han robe and carrying a slender black box stood there quietly, letting the waves beat on the deck.
, also as immovable as a rock.
The seawater flowed back along the deck and returned to the sea. The girl's body was not wet at all. She didn't even glance at the seawater. She just stared at the mist ahead. At the end of the mist, the faint outline of the land was looming.
Wu Xiangnan stood in the cabin, controlling the hull while casting his gaze on the girl standing on the bow, with a helpless expression.
"This girl...is really desperate."
He glanced at the chart beside him. Now they had almost crossed the sea and entered the Japanese land area, and the meeting point of the Shangxie Society mentioned by Zuo Qing should also be nearby...
Just as Wu Xiangnan was carefully observing his surroundings, a red dot suddenly lit up on the screen, approaching the ship from a distance at an alarming speed!
Its speed was too fast, completely exceeding the speed of any sea vehicle, and it was even less like a human being. Wu Xiangnan turned his head and looked in the direction where the red dot was flying, and saw a white sharp arrow among the rolling waves.
The shadow is approaching rapidly!
bow.
Jialan, who was looking into the distance, seemed to have noticed something. He frowned, and the slender black box in his hand suddenly opened, and a golden spear popped out of it!
She grasped the spear, swayed, and rushed to the other side of the deck in an instant. She suddenly stabbed the gun in the direction of the white shadow, and a thick golden light beam shot out, piercing the deep sea!
boom--!!!
A huge water column exploded, and the waves directly lifted the hull of the ship. After a short stay in the air, it fell heavily on the sea surface.
Amid the violent shaking, Jialan still held the golden spear in his hand tightly, his eyes fixed on the sea.
During the two years when she was wandering alone in the mist, she encountered this "mysterious" attack from the bottom of the sea basically every day. Now, dealing with such sudden crises has become an instinct engraved in her bones.
At the same time, a white figure emerged from the waves, standing on the sea level in the air, his slightly curly blond hair swaying gently in the wind. He was holding a Western knight sword in his hand, and he was standing with Jia who was standing on the bow of the ship.
Blue confrontation.
Jialan saw the man's appearance clearly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Not a "mystery"? A person?
White skin, blond curly hair, blue pupils, high bridge of nose...doesn't this look like a Daxia person?
Westerners?
Just when Jialan was confused, the man spoke first, his tone seemed to be very dissatisfied:
"Hey, what are you doing? I was almost stabbed by your gun!"
When this blond, blue-eyed white man spoke, he spoke standard Chinese, even with a hint of Northeastern accent, which sounded a bit nondescript.
Jialan froze on the spot.
"You are the night watchmen from Daxia, right?" The man glanced at Wu Xiangnan who walked out of the cabin, and continued, "I am the sixth special envoy of the Shangxie Society, codenamed [Knight], and I am the person responsible for this visit to Takamawa, Japan.
Circle 'Sentinel' for Operation Destruction."
One of my own...
Jialan silently put down the golden spear in his hand, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry... I'm... used to it."
She paused and said, "I am a member of the fifth special team of Daxia Night Watch, Jialan."
"The Night Watchman of Daxia, Wu Xiangnan."
Wu Xiangnan walked to the bow of the ship and extended his hand apologetically, "I'm sorry, because you were too fast, so we thought you were the attacking 'mystery'."
The knight shrugged, stretched out his hand to hold it with his, and said helplessly: "Forget it, let's meet up safely."
"Let's go and talk in the cabin."
The three of them walked into the cabin and sat down at the round table. The knight looked around curiously and seemed to be very curious about the decorations in the ship. "Did you sail directly from Daxia?"
"yes."
"Great Xia..." A look of longing appeared in his eyes, "This is the only free place in the world. I have long wanted to visit it."
"You're not from Daxia, are you?"
"No, I used to be a slave in the 'Human Circle' in London. Later, the president led people to blow up the 'Human Circle', and I regained my freedom. After that, I joined the Shangxie Society and started to work for me.
The president does things."
"Then your Chinese is so good?"
"Before joining the evil society, everyone must receive Chinese language training. I only learned it at that time." The knight smiled.
When Jia Lan heard this, he couldn't help but asked in confusion: "What exactly is the 'human circle'?"
The knight glanced at him, put down the water glass in his hand, and asked a question, "Do you know what the Kingdom of God is?"
"It is the abode of the gods."
"That's right." The knight nodded and explained seriously, "As the residence of the gods, the Kingdom of God is also the main source of their divine power, and what supports the existence of the Kingdom of God is faith.
Beliefs come from human beings and from myths and legends spread in the world.
After the mist fell, many divine kingdoms in the world sacrificed their land and people in order to protect themselves. However, they also deliberately retained some human beings and kept them in captivity in a special place, because once all their citizens died, their bloodline
The myths and legends that have been passed down for thousands of years will also be lost, and the power of faith they can use will also be greatly reduced.
The 'human circle' is a place where they keep humans in captivity, spread divine radiance, collect faith, and allow them to mate and reproduce."
Jialan pondered for a moment, "Similar to...a farm that raises humans?"
"It can be understood that way." The knight nodded, "Different divine kingdoms have different containers used to hold the 'human circle'.
Some people open up a separate area in the Kingdom of God as a place to captive humans, but this method is relatively low-end, because the humans that can be accommodated are very limited, and the geographical scope is also limited, and it will cause dissatisfaction with other gods...
It's the same reason that you don't want your bed to be next to a pig pen.
Some divine kingdoms use some kind of artifact as a carrier to place all surviving humans in the artifact, like a fish tank, allowing them to form a cyclic world of their own. In this way, they can accommodate a large population.
, and allow them to operate on their own without the need for God to manage them.
The saddest thing about this second kind of 'human trap' is that the humans living in this container may not even realize that they have become a captive party. They may not notice anything while they are alive...
But once they die, what awaits them is eternal torture."
