Well, yes, there is indeed nothing wrong with that.
But it’s not completely okay, because I’ve been promoted...
Su Ji silently complained in her heart.
"At this time, does it matter whether you get promoted or not?" My mother frowned and complained, "The most important thing is that my son is safe!"
"Look, your mother doesn't understand."
Dad said with a smile, "Poetry and distance are always the romances that men yearn for most!"
"You must never underestimate a man's determination!"
Mom sneered and said: "Haha, yes, yes, I really don't understand you men..."
"In short, if my son really wants to go, then I will definitely support him."
Dad looked at Su Ji and said, "After all, our Xiao Ji's life has just begun."
"New career, new starting point, new future..."
"If it were me, I would definitely hope that I could see a bigger and broader world."
"Really, Xiaoji?"
Su Ji felt a little touched in his heart. After thinking for a while, he nodded: "Yeah."
"Look, let me tell you, my son is the best!"
Su Junfeng stroked Su Ji's hair, "Only men understand men best!"
"I really can't stand you two, father and son."
The expression on my mother's face became even more helpless: "In that case, let's have another dinner together then."
"Since we are going to such a far away place, we have to go and see grandma first."
"Okay." Su Ji nodded and agreed.
In fact, he did have this intention in his heart.
After all, it will probably only take two or three years for him to leave.
[Holy Land] is quite far to the north. Once he leaves, he really can’t tell when he will be able to come back.
"Let's talk about it, let's talk about it, we're not pressed for time!"
Dad said, "Eat the food, eat the food! Let's finish the food first and then eat it!"
"It's hard to have time to rest, so don't keep thinking about work."
"Yes, eat more. Is the food enough? If it's not enough, mom will cook more..."
"That's enough, that's enough."
"..."

night.
Muhai City.
On the waters of Mu Bay.
At this moment, every family is sitting in front of the dinner table, enjoying family happiness.
However, there is another group of people active on Muhai Bay.
Above the black sea.
If you look at it from a distance.
You can see the shadow of a black ship floating on the sea.
——Muhaiwan No.1.
This cruise ship has been officially put into underground service since the day when the Muhai City Branch was completed.
Until now, it is still going strong and strong, and is fully capable of shouldering its mission as a patrol vehicle.
Gu Jiaxuan slowly walked to the deck at the end of the bridge again, facing the gentle evening breeze, and silently lit a cigarette for himself.
In the midst of the smoke, he took out his phone and opened WeChat.
Click on the avatar of the girl who has been pinned to the top of the chat list.
"I'm here at work."
"Be sure to go to bed early at night, and don't catch up on dramas too late."
"Spend more time with your mother."
After finishing three sentences, Gu Jiaxuan scratched the back of his head and racked his brains but couldn't think of the next sentence.
"Gu Bureau!"
"Come down quickly!"
"There's something going on here!"
"..."
The moment he heard the sound, Gu Jiaxuan immediately said loudly: "Okay, come right over!"
Turn around and trot.
As soon as I took two steps out, I suddenly thought of something else.
Immediately he took out his phone again, edited another WeChat message and sent it:
"Remember to remind your mother to drink milk at night."
"If she forgets, you can warm her up."
The other party also quickly replied to Gu Jiaxuan's message: "Okay, I understand, you can come back soon."
Hey, I also want to come back early...
Gu Jiaxuan took a deep breath and thought helplessly.
He raised his head again and glanced at the vast and boundless sea in front of him.
Who knows when we will find that thing...
If you can really find it, who would rather stay in such a ghost place every day?
During the day, the sunlight on the sea is so strong that it can burn people into charcoal. At noon, you don't even dare to walk on the deck. After all, it is so hot that an egg broken on it will be cooked instantly.
The night was fine, but not much better.
After all, no matter how stable the cruise ship is, it will shake. No matter what position you sleep in, or how high-end the mattress and pillows you use, the fact remains that it cannot compare to the large and comfortable bed at home.
That's nothing. The thing I'm most worried about is actually encountering strong winds and waves in the middle of the night.
By that time, let alone sleeping peacefully, it will already be a pretty good thing whether you can still see the sun rising over the sea tomorrow.
Fortunately, this situation generally does not happen.
After all, the players in the Muhaiwan Project are the group with relatively high levels and slightly stronger overall abilities.
So generally speaking, the ability to protect yourself is at least there.
Gu Jiaxuan shook his head, temporarily throwing away some miscellaneous thoughts.
There's no time to think about things here.
His top priority now is to quickly get himself into work mode.
…
"I'm coming."
"What happened? Are you so anxious?"
After walking into the central control room, Gu Jiaxuan asked.
"Gu Bureau, come over quickly and take a look!" the first mate shouted anxiously.
Gu Jiaxuan walked forward doubtfully.
Then.
The moment his eyes fell on the central control display, he actually took a deep breath.
Absolutely amazing!
You are indeed right, something has happened.
And it's not a trivial matter.
——The central control display showed that a bright and flashing light spot appeared nearly four or five kilometers directly in front of the "Muhaiwan No. 1".
And the meaning of this light spot is not trivial.
What it means is that there is a psychic abnormality at the coordinates it marks.
Moreover, the so-called psychic abnormality is a relatively general matter.
The psychic energy within the environment suddenly becomes violent, which is called an abnormal situation.
Or there is an incredible sudden decrease, which can also be called an abnormal situation.
As for what happened to cause the abnormality, who knows?
Generally speaking, if you want to find out what happened, you must go to the psychic anomaly point in person to find out.
But based on past experience.
Basically, close to 99% of similar situations, after finally personally investigating, nothing truly abnormal was found.
After all, the psychic field near the [Ruins] is inherently unstable, and it is not particularly strange if some psychic turbulence or fluctuations occasionally occur.
But this time, things seemed a little unusual.
Because this time...
The fluctuations in the psychic field seemed to be stronger than every time before.
On the central control screen, the light spot flashes at an almost ridiculous speed, making it almost the most conspicuous presence on the entire screen.
It's like the North Star in the night sky.
"Is there such a large amount of turbulent spiritual energy..."
Gu Jiaxuan stood in front of the center console and murmured, feeling a little lost.
This is a bit too abnormal.
——As the general person in charge of [Muhaiwan Project].
Everything that happened in this project from beginning to end was basically done and witnessed by Gu Jiaxuan.
in his impression.
Such large psychic energy fluctuations were detected on Muhai Bay.
This is the first time in these years.
Not only him, but also the first mate was very excited and it was hard to control:
"Gu Bureau!"
"This is a big guy!"
When the crew members around heard the sound, they all rushed over one after another.
When they saw the picture on the center console, each of their faces was full of shock and surprise.
That's right.
This is really a big guy...
Because spiritual energy fluctuations of this level can basically only be produced by high-level alien creatures.
The crew looked at Gu Jiaxuan with expectant eyes, waiting for their director and captain to speak.
Soon, not long after, Gu Jiaxuan said: "Go at full speed and reach the location as quickly as possible."
This order was issued decisively and simply, and there was no sign of any sloppiness.
Because Gu Jiaxuan's thoughts are almost the same as everyone else's.
——The object represented by that flashing spot is most likely the [Gatekeeper] they have been looking for for a long time.
The so-called [Gatekeeper] is a creature that is active near the [Ruins].
If I have to make an analogy, then this [Gatekeeper] creature is relatively similar to a [Lord] and the like.
The only and biggest difference is that [Gatekeeper] is a creature that appears outside [Ruins], while [Lord] is a creature located inside [Ruins].
Generally speaking, if there is a [Gatekeeper] in a [Relic], then there will be no [Lord].
The place where the [Gatekeeper] is located is basically the entrance to the ruins.
——That is what all the crew members on the "Muhaiwan No. 1" have been looking for.
Because once the existence of the [Gatekeeper] is discovered, it is almost equivalent to finding the entrance to the Muhaiwan Ruins [Breath of the Deep Sea]!
"Okay, Gu Bureau."
The first mate nodded and immediately issued the order:
"All crew members are on alert!"
"The direction of travel of 'Muhaiwan No. 1' is about to change, and new coordinates will be released soon!"
…
Above the black sea.
The cruise ship quickly swung its hull, adjusted its direction, and headed towards the location where the light flashed.
The closer he got to that place, the more Gu Jiaxuan could feel that the waves on the sea were getting bigger and bigger.
The waves and waves are constantly rolling, rising and falling, like countless ridgelines,
at the same time.
The closer you get, the more you can feel that the sky seems to be getting darker and darker.
The temperature seemed to be dropping continuously, and everyone could even clearly see that the portholes were covered with a thin layer of mist.
"keep going!"
Gu Jiaxuan ordered.
The first mate nodded, without any fear on his face.
Including the other crew members on the Mu Haiwan No. 1, they also had the same mentality.
——No one intends to choose to back down at this juncture.
After all, everyone has been waiting for this moment for long enough.
So "Muhaiwan No. 1" continued to drive forward.
After continuing to get closer for a while.
The sky was completely darkened.
Thick clouds began to accumulate on the sky
A bright and pale thunder light cut through the night in an instant.
At that moment, the entire sky was as bright as day.
One after another.
It was the rumble of thunder rolling out from deep in the clouds.
Gu Jiaxuan stood in front of the windshield of the cab, looking through the glass plate in front of him into the depths of the black sea in the distance.
At the end of the sea, you can see thick clouds piled on it, and fine blue-white arcs flashing rapidly.
Big raindrops splashed down and fell on the glass plate, making a heavy crackling sound.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Gu Jiaxuan's face showed no trace of fear or panic.
Instead, his eyes became brighter and hotter like a beacon in the dark night.
The radiance that radiates from the inside out in the gaze can be summed up in the same word after its myriad aspects converge into the same thing.
That is - desire.
It's just like the way a young child looks when he sees the game console he wants most on the shelf when passing by a store.
In the present world.
The generation of psychic turbulence is usually accompanied by very extreme and weird weather conditions.
The sudden thunder and lightning storm like the one in front of Gu Jiaxuan is one of them.
Although such bad weather will make the cruise ship's sneak encounter more and greater resistance.
But from another perspective.
Such weather and phenomena further indicate that the entrance to the [Breath of the Deep Sea] ruins is indeed not very far away from where they are.
It's very possible - just one step away!
"Gu Bureau!"
"We have entered the range of psychic turbulence!"
the first mate shouted excitedly.
"very good!"
"Now, slowly slow down the boat!"
Gu Jiaxuan ordered.
The reverse propulsion turbocharger system begins to exhaust a large amount of exhaust.
It was as if a top-notch wind was blowing head-on.
The ship that encountered resistance immediately slowed down.
soon.
At this steady and slow speed.
"Muhaiwan No. 1" gradually entered the center of the storm circle.
But in this place, the intensity of the storm was also raised to the highest level at the same moment.
The stormy waves came one after another.
The hull of Mu Haiwan No. 1 also began to shake violently.
