On the blue sea, three people were squeezed onto a small surfing board, one sitting at the end of the board, one standing at the head of the board, and the owner of the board, Neptune, squatting in the middle.
Aquaman looked at Lin Xi from behind and at Chen Chu from the front, feeling the obvious awkwardness and ambiguity in the atmosphere, with the gossipy spirit burning in his muscular body.
"You just..."
"What happened just now? Just now..." Lin Yu shouted excitedly, "Just now Zhenzi suddenly made a mess, and I fell from the sky, just...just like that."
"Really?" Even a blind man could tell from the tone and eyes of the man who was trying to cover his ears that there must be a story behind it.
"Of course."
"I don't believe it unless you let Zhenzi come out and say it." If the wig could really speak, he would believe it against his conscience.
How could Lin Xian let Zhenzi out? The first thing she did after she came to her senses was to put Zhenzi's long hair into her inventory. This female lecher, it's fine if she's lecherous, but why did she use her body? Was I possessed by a ghost just now?
"Where's Zhenzi? Let her come out." Neptune glanced at the silent person and poked Lin Xi with his elbow in a mean way.
"She..." Wait, why should I explain to Aquaman? It has nothing to do with him. If I have to explain, I should explain to the other victim.
Thinking of someone, Lin Xin glanced guiltily ahead. From the moment she boarded the surfing board, Chen Chu had been standing quietly in front of the board. In order to leave enough space for both of them, and most importantly for her, Chen Chu only stood half of his foot on the surfing board, hanging lightly in front of it, like a flag swaying in the sea breeze.
No, what Senior Chen Chu looked like at this moment was not the key point. The key point was that from the beginning, Senior Chen Chu did not say anything and did not look at her again.
Are you angry?
Lin Xi thought about it and felt that she still had to explain. She glanced at Aquaman who was waiting for the melon with great interest and passion, then turned her back and took out her cell phone from her pocket.
"……"Neptune.
We are all family, no matter what phone you use, just post in the group if you have the guts.
Aquaman sighed with regret, but as a well-educated spectator, he did not forcefully explore the secrets of the two people when the parties were unwilling to reveal them. However, adultery, as long as it exists, will be exposed one day.
Lin unlocked her phone and found that there were hundreds of unread messages on WeChat. There were so many messages that the phone automatically blocked the message reminder function.
Lin thought about it, but couldn't remember when her phone had restored its signal. She opened WeChat, skipped the group chat with hundreds of unread messages, opened Chen Chu's WeChat, and began to explain.
Lin: [Senior Chen Chu, I'm sorry, it was really an accident. I told you, Zhenzi's long hair is a face control, she likes you...]
Wait, if Senior Chen Chu knew that a female ghost was targeting him, would he be in an even worse mood?
Lin thought for a moment, deleted the second half of the sentence, and rewrote: [Just now, it was Zhenzi's prank. I asked her for the energy stone, but she refused to give it to me. I said a few words to her, and she got angry and pulled my head, which led to the accident. I'm really sorry, please don't take it to heart.]
Lin read it twice and felt that she had explained it clearly, so she sent the message.
"Ding!" A few dozen centimeters away, the cell phone notification sound rang simultaneously.
Lin Xi felt inexplicably guilty, so she lowered her head and pretended to be dead, not daring to look back. At this moment, a phone call suddenly came in. The ringing of the phone scared Lin Xi so much that her hands shook and the phone slipped from her fingertips.
Oh my god, there’s the sea below.
Lin Xi was about to scream when she saw that her cell phone did not fall into the water. To be exact, it did not sink into the water but floated on the surface of the sea.
Lin Xi blinked, and blinked again, to make sure she was not dreaming or seeing things.
"Are you still going to pick it up? If not, I will pick it up."
Neptune?
Lin Xi suddenly realized, yes, there was a water-based mutant sitting next to her, how could he watch her phone fall into the sea.
"Thank you." Lin Xi thanked him and reached out to pick up the phone.
Hai Wang was slightly surprised and was about to explain when Lin Nan answered the phone.
"Assistant Tan." The caller was Assistant Tan.
"It's out?" Assistant Tan's voice was obviously relieved.
"Yes, my phone just got a signal." She and Chen Chu disappeared on the plane. Two living people disappearing on a plane, such a big thing must be kept secret, and the company will definitely step in to deal with it. Assistant Tan would naturally know that she had entered the space again.
"Where are Chen Chu and Hai Wang?" Assistant Tan asked.
"They're all here. Do you want to talk to them...?" Assistant Tan hung up the phone before Lin Yan finished her words, expressing his attitude with his actions.
So angry? Is it because you were called out in the middle of a session to handle their affairs?
Lin Xi silently said sorry to the grumpy Assistant Tan in her heart, and was about to go to the group to report that she was safe, but she saw a red dot in the chat box between her and Chen Chu in the group.
Senior Chen Chu replied to the message? !
Chu: [I understand.]
Chu: [Next time if Zhenzi doesn’t give you anything, I can help you try.]
When Lin saw the first message, she breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she had explained the misunderstanding. When she saw the second message, she felt relieved and replied casually: [You can definitely get it. Zhenzi is obsessed with looks. She likes you very much. She always crawls to your side when she climbs onto the TV.]
After replying to the message, Lin An put the matter aside, opened the group chat, and began to browse the messages in the group. On the other side of the surfing board, Chen Chu saw Lin An's reply, his eyes flickered slightly, and he repeatedly looked at the last sentence.
Do you crawl towards me every time?
Chen Chu put away his phone and looked towards the coastline not far away. The breeze was gentle and not at all like a sea breeze.
Lin Xi roughly browsed through the chat history in the group. There were two time periods with relatively dense messages, one was three hours ago and the other was ten minutes ago.
Three hours ago, Qingkong received the news that the Soul Locking Tower was opened near Mudai River, and then joked with Wuwang whether Lin Nan would go in again. But at that time, Lin Nan was on the plane and her phone had no signal, so they could not verify it. The two of them just talked and did not take it seriously. Until five minutes later, Haiwang still did not come online to participate in the group chat. Qingkong felt something was wrong, so he called Haiwang. The news he got was that Haiwang fell into the sea while surfing, and the rescue team was on the way.
Is this a joke? Aquaman, the name means he can't be drowned. How could he disappear into the sea? The only possibility is that he disappeared into the subspace.
Combined with the FLAG that Lin Xi and Hai Wang both set in the group not long ago, Qingkong reasonably inferred that there was a 99% chance that Lin Xi had already entered the sub-space. Then he used his connections to check the flight that Lin Xi was on, and it was confirmed that a man and a woman disappeared in the toilet of the plane about ten minutes ago. At that time, the flight attendant thought they were doing something in there... Well, these are not important, skip it.
The reason for the intensive chat ten minutes ago was that a large number of superpowers who were swallowed into the Soul Locking Tower suddenly came out. Not only did they come out safely, but they also brought explosive news. Someone posted on the official forum that the subspace of the Soul Locking Tower was collapsing. Before he came out, the subspace suddenly became pitch black. The Soul Locking Tower collapsed in the darkness, spirits dissipated, props scattered, and even the space door was shaking.
Some people also said that it might be that the Soul Locking Tower swallowed a powerful superpower this time, and this superpower went to the seventh floor and fought with the big boss on the seventh floor, which caused the space to collapse. Because after dark, before the collapse, many people heard a spell, and that spell was read in standard Mandarin, and it was a sentence full of cultural atmosphere in classical Chinese: If the Master is not born, the world will be dark forever.
As the King of Filth who had been to Blizzard City with Lin Yan, he could not believe this familiar description, but he still reasonably deduced that this awesome psychic might be Lin Yan. After that, they kept @ing the three of them in the group, but when there was no reply, the discussion gradually became desperate, and they began to guess whether Lin Yan was cursed in there, until Assistant Tan called her and reported the news to the group.
Assistant Tan: [The call went through, and they are all alive.]
When Lin saw this, she quickly replied in the group: [We are all out, nothing is wrong.]
Qingkong: [Are you cursed?]
Lin was about to say no, but then she thought of something and said, "Yes, but there shouldn't be any danger to his life."
The fact that the high priest can leave this dimension is a secret. The moment she found out about it, she was cast under a spell of secrecy and she didn't know how to break it.
Oh, I forgot about this. I still didn't think it through. I should have made a wish to find all the props I needed. But no, all the props in it can be sold for money. I feel like I need them all. It's so easy to not find the props, so how can I make a wish?
Forget it, it’s already out, don’t worry about it.
King of Dirt: [What type of curse?]
Lin: [A curse that must be kept secret. It will be fine if you don’t tell anyone.]
King of Dirty: [Something like a spirit of words? I'll see if I can help you solve it later.]
The King of Waste is a curser, and if the curse is not too serious, he can remove it.
Lin Xi compared the strength of the high priest and the King of Filth, and felt that the probability that the King of Filth could be released was almost zero.
Qingkong: [Where is Aquaman? Why hasn’t he been online for so long?]
Aquaman, the surfing master, almost never leaves his phone. It's totally unlike his romantic style that he doesn't even show off in the group after being out for such a long time.
林媗回頭轉達：“青空問你怎麽不上網。”
海王沒好氣的道：“我手機還在游艇上呢。”
他沖浪的時候把手機放游艇小姐姐的手裏了，被吞進次空間的時候渾身就剩一條泳褲。他不想上網嗎？天知道他看林媗在那裏耍手機，心癢癢成什麽樣了。
海王越想越氣，忍不住抱怨道：“要不是怕你們兩個掉海裏了，我早一個人上岸了。”
如果是陳初一個人的話，海王則完全不用擔心，但天上還有一個林媗呢。他不确定從次空間出來之後，陳初能不能找到林媗，萬一找不到，林媗從空中掉落大概率也是掉在海裏。
這是他和陳初事先商量好的，一個在天上找，一個在海面接，雙重保險之下林媗如果還挂了，那……他們也算是盡力了。
林媗笑了笑，往前看了看，發現已經可以看見遠處城市的燈光了：“馬上就可以上岸了。”
海王哦了一聲，心裏卻狠狠的腹诽着：要不是某人一直壓着速度，以我的作風，直接用大浪卷一波，我們早回岸上了，至于慢悠悠的在海裏晃了這麽半天嘛。
林媗作為三人的代言人，在群裏轉達：[海王的手機沒在身上。]
污王：[你們上岸之後是立刻回晉市，還是留在木帶河。]
林媗轉頭問兩人：“我們是直接回晉市，還是在這裏住一晚啊。”
陳初還沒說話呢，海王先嚷嚷起來了：“我不管你們，反正我要在這裏住。”
差點挂裏頭，他必須好吃好喝的休息幾天。
陳初看了一眼女孩還沒有完全恢複的臉色，道：“住一晚吧，明天再回。”
“好。”林媗剛要打字在群裏說，就見污王又在群裏發了一條消息。
污王：[住木帶河吧，把地址告訴我，晚上我去找你們，順便看看你們身上的詛咒。]
林媗：[你特地飛過來？]
污王：[我在帝都。]
林媗一愣，先是疑惑污王怎麽會忽然在帝都，轉念一想便明白過來，應該是污王猜到他們三個被吞進鎖魂樓了，所以趕過來幫忙。
林媗心頭一暖：[好，等到了酒店，我給你發定位，謝謝。]
林媗回過頭，開心的道：“污王為了我們，直接飛來帝都了。”
海王疑惑：“你确定是為了我們，不是為了你買的詛咒之眼？”
林媗分析道：“當然不是了，我們要是出不來，詛咒之眼也出不來，我們要是安全出來了，詛咒之眼自然就給他帶回去了，他飛過來有什麽用？所以肯定是來幫我們的，怕我們中詛咒。”
海王點點頭：“好像有點道理，不過這家夥什麽時候這麽講義氣了？”
之前喊他組團做任務都不願意。
說話間，沖浪板已經來到了岸邊，林媗終于再一次踏上了陸地，開心的恨不能原地蹦上幾下。誰能想到，短短的半個小時裏，她直接解鎖了海陸空三種行走模式。
“走吧，去我住的酒店。”海王單手扛着沖浪板，招呼兩人跟他走。
三人往外走了一段，便看見了一整片的海邊大排檔，海鮮的鮮美不斷的從大廚的鍋內飄來，饞人的不行。
“先吃飯吧。”海王是個行動派，沖浪板随便一放，朝最近的大排檔直接走了過去。
三人坐定，海王作為東道主（比他們早來木帶河一天的東道主），大方的點了一堆菜：“這裏的海鮮還不錯，你們嘗嘗看。”
林媗也饞，但看了看時間，有些擔憂的道：“這都八點了，要不我們先去辦入住再來吃，我怕一會兒沒房間。”
海王嘚瑟一笑，朝林媗一伸手：“手機給我。”
林媗把手機遞了過去。
海王當場撥打了自己的手機，然後按了免提，把手機放在桌上，很快一個輕柔的女聲從電話那頭傳了過來：“喂，哪位。”
“寶貝，是我。”海王的手機就是給了這位小姐姐。
“寶貝，是你？！”女聲立刻變的驚喜又嬌媚，“你白天忽然去忙工作了，把我一個人扔在游艇上，怎麽補償我？”
忙工作？也不知道譚助理怎麽處理的，像黑衣人一樣消除記憶？林媗好奇的想着。
“補償你的事情晚上回去再說，現在先幫我留三間房，我有三個朋友要過來玩，還沒訂好酒店呢。”海王道。
“我打電話去前臺問問。”片刻後，那邊電話傳來，“只剩下兩間了怎麽辦？”
兩間也行啊，到時候污王和陳初學長可以住一間。林媗剛這麽想着，就見海王湊近電話，用一種令人頭皮發麻的嗓音說着話：“那就把我的房間空出來，晚上我去找你。”
電話那頭立刻傳來女人嬌俏的笑聲：“算你識相。”
算你識相是什麽意思，信息量有些大啊，莫非這位姐姐是故意說只有兩間房，以此暗示海王過去？這就是成年人的世界嗎？這麽刺激？
相比之下，自己實在是太弱了，不就是接個吻而已……想到吻，林媗情不自禁的朝坐在對面的陳初看去。陳初察覺到林媗的目光，擡眸看了回來，并微微勾了勾唇。
林媗吓的急忙收回目光，拿起桌上的冰可樂猛灌。
美色誤人啊。
“咦？”海王拿着手機，輕咦了一聲，“青空說，論壇裏都在讨論鎖魂樓坍塌又修複的事情，官方甚至給出了五十萬積分的懸賞，想要知道鎖魂樓事件的始末。”
海王不是故意偷看林媗的信息，而是剛巧挂電話的時候，青空的消息彈了出來。
陳初聽了表情也凝重起來，他拿出手機剛要打開論壇看一看，這時候一個電話打了過來。
陳初看着那一連串*號的號碼，示意兩人不要出聲，接通電話：“我是陳初。”
“這裏是特殊異能樞密處，我是調查員羅源。”對面的人自我解釋。
“您好。”
“陳初同志，據我調查，您在今天下午三點四十五分到三點五十分鐘之間，和同伴一個叫林媗的異能者一起從航班AF123次航班上消失，請問，你們是被吞進鎖魂樓次空間了嗎？”
“是。”陳初沉穩的答着。
“論壇裏在讨論的事件你看見了吧。”羅源問。
“鎖魂樓坍塌？”陳初道。
“是的，我打這個電話過來，就是想請問你，作為S級異能者，你在鎖魂樓裏可有感覺到什麽，或者說……這件事情是否和你有些關系？”據總部調查，這一批被吞入鎖魂樓的異能者裏，外面的不知道，但官方內部，只有陳初一個S級。而且，陳初本身就身負七樓的詛咒。
據出來的異能者說，鎖魂樓坍塌的瞬間，對外來異能者毫無威脅，靈體不詛咒，道具，能量石也可以随意取走。如果官方可以掌控這個力量，也就等于掌控了鎖魂樓。
“不清楚，我只在裏面待了幾分鐘就出來了，并沒有看見鎖魂樓的坍塌。”陳初面不改色的道。
“你只待了幾分鐘就出來了？你沒有去七樓解開自己的詛咒嗎？”
“以我目前的實力，還無法戰勝七樓的靈體，所以我沒有前往七樓，只是進去幫同伴取了能量石，便立刻離開了。”陳初也不怕對方去查，因為當時他幫林媗取能量石的時候，外面的人幾乎都看見了。
“好，我知道了。如果你事後想起了什麽，歡迎随時來電，不打擾了。對了……”對方頓了頓又道，“如果最後詛咒仍然無法解開，歡迎來樞密處。”
說完，對面才挂了電話。
“樞密處注意到林媗了？”海王問。
“沒有，他們懷疑是我弄的。”陳初道。
“也是，你異能等級最高，估計要盯你一段時間了。”海王道。
陳初無所謂的聳聳肩。
林媗不是很懂的問道：“樞密處是做什麽的？”
“樞密處是官方組織內部，專門處理重大事件的部門。這次鎖魂樓坍塌，動靜确實有點大了，樞密處注意到也正常。”海王道。
林媗疑惑道：“被他們知道了會怎麽樣？”
海王想了想解釋道：“其實也不會怎麽樣，就是你的能力太過特殊，可能會被他們當大熊貓保護起來。怎麽樣，要不要感受一下大熊貓的待遇？”
真這麽好，你們能這副表情？陳初學長還用得着對那什麽樞密處撒謊？
陳初補充道：“如果被他們保護起來，你就不再有自由，以後做什麽，去哪裏，異能怎麽樣，什麽時候用，都必須聽他們的。”
而且，如果樞密處知道了林媗的異能，一定會最大限度的利用，根本不會顧忌異能之後的後遺症。
林媗果斷搖頭：“那還是不要了。”
她羨慕大熊貓的待遇，但真要跟熊貓似的被圈養起來，她寧可不要。
海王：“別慌，努力修煉，等你和陳初一樣變成S級，就能挺直腰板和樞密處對話了。”
說話間，海鮮大餐陸續上了桌，三人沒有再讨論這件事情，拿起筷子開始大快朵頤。
During the break of the meal, Aquaman borrowed Lin's mobile phone, took some photos and posted them to @Wuwang who was rushing here on the train.
The King of Dirt gave him a middle finger in return.
