Fog.
Beep beep——!
In the ruins of the broken city, three people were walking side by side on the deserted road. At this moment, an electronic sound suddenly rang out from the knight's arms.
The knight was startled, then quickly took out the pixel-style detection device, and saw a red dot appear somewhere out of thin air on the screen of the device, jumping rapidly.
"What's wrong?" Wu Xiangnan asked.
"The 'paratrooper' has arrived near the gap and has installed a signal transmitter there." The knight said as he adjusted the equipment, "Next, we just need to find the source of the signal transmission, and then we can pass through the gap and enter the 'human circle' to join him."
Jia Lan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Can we go in?"
"Hmm." The knight nodded and carefully observed the map for a moment. "This place is in Hokkaido, but it doesn't seem to be on land... Is the gap in the sea?"
"How far is it from land?"
"About three kilometers, but it's a bit deep."
"Three kilometers? We can just sail there." Wu Xiangnan pondered. "There seems to be diving equipment on the boat, but there are only two sets."
"I don't need that kind of thing." said Galan.
"Neither do I." The knight shrugged. "Our Knights rely on training our bodies to strengthen ourselves. This distance and depth are not a problem for me at all."
“…”
Wu Xiangnan looked at the two of them with a strange expression and said, "Okay, you guys are awesome, I'll wear it then."
This time, the three of them had a clear goal, so they sped up and quickly returned to the coast where the ship was docked, and then sailed towards the sea area shown on the map.
The boat broke through the rolling waves and gradually approached the location where the red dot was flashing. The knight stood in front of the boat and looked ahead. After confirming that they had arrived at the place, he put away the equipment and said seriously to Jia Lan and Wu Xiangnan behind him:
"You have no experience in entering the 'human circle', so there are a few points you must pay attention to. I will tell you in advance.
First of all, the 'Human Circle' is essentially an area or artifact used to confine humans in the Kingdom of God. That is to say, it is very likely to be under the watchful eyes of a certain god or the spirit of an artifact. Once you enter it, there is a high probability that you will not be able to use the Forbidden Ruins. Once you use the Forbidden Ruins and generate power fluctuations, you will most likely be wiped out by the gods or the spirit of the artifact.
Of course, if it is a passive type of forbidden ruins that does not produce power fluctuations, it can be used normally."
Galan's [Immortality] and Lin Qiye's [Starry Night Dancer] are essentially the same. Both are passive bans that act on themselves and will not attract their attention.
But Wu Xiangnan was a little conflicted.
His Forbidden Ruins is [Rebirth] of Sequence 233, which is essentially resurrection after death through the operation of the Forbidden Ruins. It is hard to say whether he can avoid the attention of gods and weapon spirits... At worst, he will not use the Forbidden Ruins. Anyway, his combat power does not come from the Forbidden Ruins.
Wu Xiangnan touched the sword bag behind him and felt a little relieved.
Ever since Lin Qiye used a "miracle" to repair his palm in Cangnan, he can hold the sword again, and the fearless sword heart that he once lost has returned. Now he is no longer the decadent deputy captain of Cangnan City's 136th team, but the former member of the [Blue Rain] team, the "Immortal Swordsman" Wu Xiangnan.
“Secondly, in the ‘Human Circle’, there are not only ordinary people who are kept in captivity. In order to prevent problems from occurring in the ‘Human Circle’, the gods of the Kingdom of God will select humans from within the ‘Human Circle’ and grant them power, allowing them to serve as the incarnations of the gods and maintain the operation of the entire ‘Human Circle’.
Without being able to use the Forbidden Ruins, it will be difficult for us to defeat them, so we must try our best to avoid conflicts with them, hide ourselves completely, and wait until our Shangxie Society’s large force arrives before launching a head-on conflict.
Another point is, don’t try to change the distorted worldview or beliefs that the captive humans have developed.”
After hearing the last sentence, Wu Xiangnan was a little confused, "Why?"
"Under the long-term theocracy, the way of thinking and the code of conduct of the people living in the 'human circle' are bound to be different from ours. Some of their actions even leave us puzzled, but this kind of wrong thinking and cognition has been passed down for many years. After a hundred years of accumulation, it has formed a complete system that is almost unbreakable.
To change this kind of decadent thinking and heart, it takes a lot of time and energy, which is impossible for ordinary people to do. Moreover, once it is done, it will inevitably cause resistance from the residents. In their eyes, we are aliens. In this way, our own existence will be exposed to the vision of the "God's custodian" I just mentioned, causing large-scale hunting. After all, this approach is tantamount to destroying the foundation of the stable existence of the "human circle".
We are just outsiders. Our goal is to destroy the "Human Circle" and find the entrance to Takamagahara. There is no need to take risks and waste time and energy on such things."
After the knight finished speaking, Galan and Wu Xiangnan fell silent.
"I understand." They nodded.
After the three of them were ready, they dived into the deep seabed according to the location of the red dot.
As they dived deeper and deeper, and it was already dark outside, the sea was pitch black. Only the waterproof flashlights worn by the three people projected beams of light, piercing through the empty and deep sea, and no one knew where they were heading.
They seemed to be floating in a suffocating dark universe, exploring into the depths.
Due to the erosion of fog, there are no living creatures in the sea water. Except for those powerful "mysteries", nothing can survive in this environment.
Galan held the black box tightly, her dark blue Han robe floating slowly in the sea as she dived towards the deep sea. At the same time, she kept her eyes alert to her surroundings to prevent any powerful "mystery" from suddenly emerging and attacking them.
The three of them dived for an unknown amount of time, and finally, the dark deep sea in front of them underwent inexplicable changes.
Deep under the sea, gradually, three more beams of flashlight shot out from the bottom, overlapping with the beams of light shot out from them, as if there were three people floating upwards at the bottom of the deep sea.
The pupils of the knight, Wu Xiangnan, and the other three suddenly contracted.
Where does the flashlight come from in the dead black seabed?
Is it a mirror image?
Wu Xiangnan soon discovered the linkage between the three beams of light and the three of them. This idea emerged in his mind. At this moment, at the end of their vision, in the deep sea, a hazy and psychedelic super-large mirror replaced the reef and quietly spread out on the seabed.
In the fog, at the very bottom of the Sea of Japan, there is a bronze mirror so large that it is almost boundless.
