One hundred and ninety-four. The eyes of the god of the deep sea
The creeping, spreading waves pushed Him up to the shallows.
"Finding the next body is your new mission."
The oracle echoing in my heart seems far away, and it releases a breath that has the same origin as the Tentacle Cultists but is more mysterious and vast.
"I'm only human."
Lu Li didn't know whether the Tentacle Cultists had taken over the Eye of the Ancient God, or whether it was the God of the Deep Sea who used his cover to show his holiness. He didn't want to get involved in the whirlpool of the God of the Deep Sea anymore.
Obviously, the self-proclaimed God of the Deep Sea treated Lu Li with special regard and granted him the supreme honor: "Bring me back a new body, and I allow you to call me by my true name."
Lu Li ignored this honor that made believers crazy and replied calmly: "You can ask your followers to do it."
"They...are no longer trustworthy."
He stated a fact calmly.
Lu Li thought of the chaotic emotions of the Tentacle Cultists and realized something. But after thinking about it, he still rejected the god's invitation.
"Allow me to refuse."
"You have no right to... refuse."
The shadow under the unseen cloak released a strong force. But amid the hostility between Ophelia and the believers, He turned towards the deep sea, was pushed by the waves, rose like a fountain, and landed on Andrea's deck waiting offshore.
superior.
Andrea's hull suddenly sank several meters as if carrying a heavy weight, and a low roar echoed deep within the hull structure.
"God has his own weight." Ophelia read a sentence carefully and coherently.
That is an incident recorded in the history of the Kingdom of Ancient Roland: During the ceremony held by the Pope of the Kingdom, the gods descended and crushed the stone platform prepared.
Although the stone platform was hollowed out by craftsmen, it could easily carry more than a dozen carriages. The furious king wanted to kill the craftsmen, and the investigating officials found that the stone slab where the gods stood was full of cracks and turned into powder the day before the execution.
The official rescued the craftsman, and the world learned from this that "God has his own weight."
This shows that he may be the true god of the deep sea.
"What to do next..."
Ophelia asked the thinking Lu Li.
"He is not an enemy."
Lu Li could sense that he meant no harm. As he said before, ants should not get involved in human battles. "Let's see if he changes his mind."
After all, humans will not let ants participate in the battle.
Before leaving, Lu Li asked the believers to leave marks on the beach, as well as a few wooden boxes. They took the wooden boat back to Andrea where the waterline was deeper, and went up to the deck. The god of the deep sea who was waiting for them stepped up the steps and entered the upper deck.
The captain's cabin.
He knows everything about Andrea, from the memories of the Tentacle Cultists.
Buzz
The low whistle of the siren spread out from Andrea's feet, and this time Lu Li understood: "Sister, I'm going home."
Andrea whispered again, and Lu Li asked her to set sail for home.
The distant Wanghai Cliff.
…
Lu Li and Ophelia returned to the captain's cabin. Pusius huddled in the corner and shivered. He stayed on the ship and had no idea what was going on.
"Can you hide your aura?" Lu Li asked him thoughtfully.
"Can."
He just answered and did nothing.
"If you don't restrain your aura, your enemies may come looking for you." Lu Li said.
"My power has not been restored yet..." He whispered, the mysterious and vast aura shrouding the black robe retracted like a tentacle, and his voice echoed from the bottom of his heart into a voice that sounded like a woman from the shadow of the hood.
"Arren Peninsula, a body there, Shadowfen," He said.
The Swamp Mother was there, as well as the unknown presence of the northern swamps. Which is Her body?
But Lu Li refused again: "I will not accept any more commissions."
The power that the current God of the Deep Sea possesses is not formidable, at least he cannot command Lu Li, especially with the help of the Steam Silhouette.
"I can give you divine power."
"I will not use the power of mind-bending."
The prerequisite for possessing divine power is faith, and faith is more deeply rooted than blood ties and has the power to change thinking. There is also the motto of the lighthouse: You have received their blessings, how can you naively think that you are worry-free.
"I will help you find your love." He said again.
"...I will find her."
Lu Li said after a moment of silence.
The conversation came to an end again.
On the way back to Belfast, he did nothing. As the contact time increased, Lu Li pieced together the truth: the god of the deep sea had fallen long ago, but the god did not die so easily, just like the deep sea that once fell into eternal sleep.
The Lord. His consciousness called the remaining believers to find a body that represented his power, and then everything that Lu Li encountered.
Even the God of the Deep is listening.
According to Ophelia, the God of the Deep Sea is not very smart, or rather stupid and ignorant. She has never seen anyone who can seriously chat with Psius.
After all, He only uses his eyes as a carrier now. He will not regain his strength or change his personality until he gets more bodies.
It only took a few days of contact for the God of the Deep Sea to learn something from these humans, resentful spirits, and alien species, such as how to persuade them.
"I will drive them away from the world."
As they approached the Allen Peninsula and the dark deadwood swamp emerged on the horizon, the God of the Deep Sea said to Lu Li.
Lu Li remained silent for a long time, but still refused the tempting invitation from the God of the Deep Sea.
"Why. As a native, you should help me..." He was puzzled.
"I'm only human."
Lu Li would never become complacent due to flattery.
No matter whether it is Midnight City or Weiner Freeze Port, Lu Li never abandons his rationality when promoting his great name.
He knows how fragile he is as a human being. It doesn't take the weirdness itself, a cold winter, a storm, or even an illness to kill him.
All of his legendary experiences are the result of a combination of caution, luck and coincidence. Lu Li may continue his success, but it won't last forever.
One day, Lu Li will die from the arrogance built up by his success.
Andrea was anchored offshore, and the hideous and strange dead trees stretched along the coast.
"You will...regret it." He stopped persuading and just whispered coldly.
"Yes, I hope you can succeed."
Lu Li never questioned the ancient gods' belief in driving away the invaders.
He looked deeply at Lu Li, stepped onto the surging fountain, and leaned toward the coast.
Seeing the silhouette of the God of the Deep disappear behind layers of strange shadows, Ophelia asked: "Where to go next...?"
The trial in Weena Freeze Harbor has not yet been resolved, and the investigation of Paradise Valley has to be temporarily slowed down.
Before Lu Li answered, the inverted pentagram mark on the back of his hand suddenly felt tactile. He lowered his black eyes and saw that the mark was gradually deepening and becoming warm due to the distance of the God of the Deep Sea.
Someone is tracking Lu Li through the inverted pentagram brand.
The presence of the God of the Deep Sea concealed Lu Li's location. But when he left, Lu Li was exposed to the trackers' sight.
Unable to tell whether it was a coincidence or destiny, Lu Li raised his eyes and looked at the twisted jungle where the God of the Deep Sea disappeared.
