The ethereal and profound singing voice seemed to come from the far distance of the sky.
That must have come from the voice of a beautiful woman, as if accompanied by ghosts from the seabed.
The originally desolate song appeared grand and magnificent in this boundless ocean.
On the sea, a sudden and massive storm swept the waves toward the Ocean Oasis.
What was once hailed as an unsinkable oasis on the ocean now appears to be...
Yet it is as insignificant as a lone, helpless boat adrift in the vast expanse of heaven and earth, ready to capsize at any moment.
The raging storm brought seawater into the cabin.
A mysterious sea monster, seemingly from beneath the surface, kept pounding on the hull.
The eerie singing, seemingly coming from the distant sea, made people increasingly agitated and confused.
All of this undoubtedly caught all the crew and passengers on the Oasis of the Seas off guard.
However, beneath this increasingly chaotic and turbulent surface lies the deep sea, which still maintains its calm demeanor.
As the body sinks, the hustle and bustle of the mundane world gradually fades away.
Light, sound, and all other mediums are unable to overcome the spatial barriers to reach this tranquil sea.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe was floating in this deep sea.
The icy seawater made him feel "warm," a long-lost comfort and tranquility.
It was as if all the weariness that had been lingering in his soul was swept away by this gentle comfort.
But in this sea that should have remained forever silent, Gu Xinghe, who was fast asleep, heard the singing.
It was an ethereal song sung in an unknown language, yet it seemed to soothe everyone.
However, as he gradually sank, Gu Xinghe seemed to slowly understand the lyrics he couldn't comprehend.
It was a lullaby with a soft and soothing tone.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe, who had lost all consciousness, longed to fall into eternal slumber amidst this song.
And in his unconscious relaxation.
The pollution he spread is also coexisting harmoniously with this sea area.
The black tentacles resembled floating, swaying black seaweed.
It also resembles the tentacles of some kind of marine mollusc, constantly multiplying and proliferating in this ocean.
It becomes food for all creatures in the ocean, a suitable nest for growth, and then itself.
On the sea, the eerie song of unknown origin grew increasingly sharp and piercing.
At this moment, everyone on the ship was trying their best to cover their ears.
They even tore off this useless organ in an attempt to block the eerie singing from reaching their ears.
But just as the tranquil deep sea could not stop the song from spreading.
Although the bodily organs that could receive these sounds no longer exist.
Yet it continued to stimulate their nerves, making everyone feel increasingly uncomfortable.
Subsequently, the "impact" caused by this "noise" gradually escalated into further modifications to the body.
The skin, which had been carefully pampered by its masters who frequented the upper classes, was gradually covered by a layer of disgusting, sticky scales.
It's unclear whether it was just the people on the ship's imagination at that moment.
While this transformation was irreversibly taking place on them.
They felt the impact coming from below the ship gradually weaken.
It's like the regret and...excitement a predator feels when it discovers its prey is of the same kind, and they cannot prey on each other.
The monster, lurking deep in the ocean, discovers that it can no longer transform back into its former human form.
The choice made was to pass on this malice to the next group of shipwrecked victims.
They were once like us, and they are destined to be like us in the future.
This may be a cycle that can never be broken.
However, at that moment, the beautiful singing abruptly stopped.
In the deep sea, Gu Xinghe's slumber was abruptly interrupted.
At the same time, he felt his body, which was sinking deeper and deeper in the sea, being caught—
He was rescued from drowning.
Water droplets slid off her hair and dripped onto her body, which was barely perceptible.
Glancing at the now calm sea, Gu Xinghe looked at the person who had rescued him from the sea and brought him ashore.
The fairytale-like developments he was experiencing gave him a slight urge to tease the girl in front of him.
It's like a fairy tale about a mermaid princess rescuing a prince from the sea!
"No, how could this be... How could I be some beautiful mermaid princess?"
The moment Gu Xinghe saw Alice, he knew she possessed abilities similar to his own.
Unlike him, she was able to see through others' hearts because she herself was pure and innocent enough.
Therefore, at this moment, Gu Xinghe could still feel the girl's unease and guilt because she had read his mind without his knowledge.
However, it's like this ocean with its unknown depths right in front of you.
Perhaps all Alice can read are the emotions floating on the surface of the sea.
"No need to be modest, your singing is really beautiful."
But for Gu Xinghe, whether these emotions are floating on the sea or cut off, they are undoubtedly a part of him.
He had no perverse pleasure in deceiving naive girls, nor did he intend to construct a psychological world of lies.
Whether it was at St. George's University before, or at this very moment.
He was showing his true self to all those who were drawn to him.
Therefore, one should sincerely express one's praise and comfort to the other person.
Gu Xinghe continued to hold tightly to Alice's hand, which she hadn't let go of when she rescued him.
He knew that physical contact was a prerequisite for the girl in front of him to more accurately read her thoughts.
Thus, the girl, who had been drawn there out of curiosity, received some kind of deliberately released hint and permission.
She finally took a bold step forward and pressed her forehead against his as his expression softened and relaxed.
It's like two people who have miraculously survived a shipwreck trying to keep warm in the cold.
The other person's cold skin, however, gave Alice a long-lost feeling of gentle warmth—
She knew it stemmed from the young man's acceptance of her.
But this comfort vanished in an instant—
That was the chaos and suffering hidden beneath the surface of the sea.
At this moment, the girl felt as if she were in a deep sea.
The silent, lightless ocean did not evoke fear or pain in her; instead, a sense of loneliness and powerlessness lingered.
It's a feeling of helplessness—knowing you're constantly falling but unable to reverse the situation.
Alice, who had also been reborn in the ocean, felt a certain resonance with the young man in the deep sea before her.
They are true confidants, partners who can comfort each other in times of pain.
So she gently embraced the young man before her, comforting him for the pain and exhaustion he had endured along the way.
Gu Xinghe closed his eyes again and fell into a brief sleep in the girl's arms.
