Chapter 224 Special Forces
"..."
The moisture content in the air is not low, even a little humid.
This is natural, after all, this is an island, an island surrounded by sea water. Even without mentioning this, there are quite a few places with water on this island. For example, there is a bottomless pool right in front of you.
But even so, Ying still felt a little dry, and couldn't help but start to swallow dryly. Even with all her adventures, she had never experienced anything like this.
This pool of water is really too deep.
The clear and translucent water quality not only did not slow down the momentum, but also showed the seemingly "bottomless" attribute of this water pool in front of everyone. Because of this, it is really difficult to estimate its depth.
No wonder, according to Xinhai, this is the passage leading to the "Abandoned Land" under the sea and directly into the abyss. It is also the way for sea praying people to return to the surface from the bottom of the sea.
"...Is this really no problem?"
……
A few days ago, Ying received a message from Zuo Xi, saying that he had something to ask for. With a conscience of heaven and earth, Ying thought at that time that she was dreaming, or that she had eaten something dirty that would cause hallucinations, or that the person who sent the message was not Zuo Xi... It was really hard for her to imagine her best friend, the one who controlled everything. Zuo Xi, who seemed to be able to do anything in his hands, would actually need her help with something.
So she ignored it completely. No matter who it is, this prank is too low-level. She had reason to suspect that the executive named Sandone was using Zuo Xi's device to set a trap for her.
At that time, she proudly showed off to Paimon: "I can't be fooled by such a level of deception. How could that guy Zuo Xi say such a thing?"
It wasn't until a few days later that Zuo Xi appeared in front of her, grabbing her collar and questioning her with bulging veins, that she realized that the other party did have something to ask her.
So, she followed Zuo Xi to Haiqi Island and stood on the big shell in front of the Coral Palace.
Looking at the bottomless calm pool below, she was a little unsure whether she had offended her best friend during this time.
"...Is this, is this really okay?"
She asked, with hope in her eyes, hoping to see a joking look on Zuo Xi's face.
But unfortunately, she didn't see anything except that "What do you think?" expression.
"Traveller, although it may look a bit...scary, this road is actually very safe. You don't have to worry at all."
Xinhai watched the entire silent exchange between the two, although the two people together said only Ying's self-deceptive question. But obviously, the two of them did complete an exchange in an incredible mode.
What's even more incredible is that Xinhai actually understands.
That's why she spoke to comfort the traveler, hoping to reassure her a little bit.
In fact, in her opinion, with the strength of the traveler, there is no need to be so careful. There should be no living things below except some abandoned ruins. This road opened by Lord "Aurobus" is absolutely reliable in terms of safety. At least on this point, she can rest assured that travelers don't need to worry.
"Xinhai, it's not that I don't trust you. It's just...according to what you said, this road hasn't been used for a long time, right? It's been hundreds of years at least, right?"
Ying organized her words. After all, this was one of the few things Zuo Xi needed her help with, and she had no intention of refusing from the beginning. But this did not conflict with the doubts she had.
How should I put it? She just wanted to refute a few words and had no other intention.
"...Yes, this passage has been sealed ever since the people of Haiqi Island returned to land..."
As he spoke, Xinhai lost confidence. She roughly understood what the other party meant. After so many years, there was no guarantee that this road would still be as safe as before.
"Yeah, that means you haven't done any maintenance at all, right? So..."
Ying didn't continue talking, but just looked at Xinhai who was gradually losing confidence.
The three of them were silent for a long time. Xinhai was lacking confidence, Ying was waiting for Xinhai to recover, and Zuo Xi was watching the fun.
"Well, don't get me wrong, I'm just expressing my feelings. Zuo Xi, you actually have to finish such a dangerous job in person. My impression of you has changed."
In the end, Ying broke the silence. She actually didn't care about the safety of this road. Since Zuo Xi asked her to come, he didn't give her any unnecessary reminder. That means she doesn't need to worry about this aspect.
She simply saw that the pool was too deep and couldn't help but complain about it. There were not many opportunities to take risks with Zuo Xi, and she was looking forward to it.
"Ying, I don't think you need to draw conclusions so early."
Zuo Xi, who had been silent until now, finally spoke, and as soon as he spoke, he refuted Ying.
"What? Oh, I understand. Don't worry, I was just joking. Don't talk about this. I have been to more dangerous places. And I have rich experience in protecting Paimon, and I will definitely be able to protect him. Good on you.”
Ying Hui got it wrong, so he just understood it on his own, and spoke according to his own understanding.
"No, I mean, you don't have to rush to change your impression of me."
"Eh?"
"I never said I wanted to go down with you."
Zuo Xi spread his hands and said to the dumbfounded Ying of course.
Yes, he never had any intention of ending up personally. do you remember? In addition to his fear of heights, he also has a phobia of the deep sea. This "Eye of Haiqi" made him feel scared when he looked at it in the game. Even if he swam in it for a while through the screen, he would feel chills running down his spine. Let him jump in reality... He would rather die directly.
"So, Ying. You are always the only one who is brave. You deserve to be called a top adventurer."
Putting his hand on Ying's shoulder, Zuo Xi's voice suddenly became grand, high and contagious. His words seemed to be full of power, and those who listened were filled with confidence. It seems that this trip is something great and only she can complete the mission.
"Ah, okay... No, no! You almost brought me in... You asked me to help, but you let me go down alone?"
Ying nodded subconsciously and then shuddered.
It was so dangerous that he was almost led astray by Zuo Xi.
"How is that possible? How can I bear to let you go on an adventure alone? Am I that kind of person?"
"pata"
After a snap of fingers, the space on the shore of the "Eye of Haiqi" below fluctuated. Titan mechas and Fool soldiers appeared in the space on the shore.
"The special force that belongs directly to me - "Jixin", they will complete this journey with you. Down below, you have full command.
How about it? Is this interesting enough? "
