Chapter 7 Night Tour

Opening his eyes again and feeling the darkness before his eyes, Zeus sighed.

"It looks like it's back again. This seems to be the fastest time."

"It's not surprising, but at least we have a clue that there are extraordinary creatures in the deep sea."

"Again?"

Zeus vaguely felt something was wrong and subconsciously turned over, smelling the dampness brought by the evening breeze. His confused mind gradually became clear. After a few seconds, Zeus suddenly sat up from the bed.

"No! This is that island, I'm not dead!?"

Zeus felt his body and found no injuries or blemishes. He had been changed into a loose pajamas. At this moment, the room was dark and there was no light coming through the balcony.

Is it night? He looked around the room carefully. This was his bedroom. At the end of the bed, a maid was leaning on a chair with her head tilted. She was already fast asleep.

There was a desk calendar on a high table not far away. The carefully wiped metal calendar was stopped on the third day of the Month of Blossoming Flowers.

On the third day, his memory stopped at the first day of the Flower Moon, which was the day before the advent. He encountered the swollen monster at the dock on the second day, so... "I was unconscious for the whole day?"

After thinking for a while, Xius shook his head again: "The desk calendar is updated by the cleaning servants every morning. It is late at night now. I must have been unconscious for two days and one night."

"It didn't delay anything. The pirates won't come to negotiate until tomorrow."

Xius rolled out of bed lightly, walked to the table, picked up the glass and poured himself a glass of water.

As the clear, sweet water flowed through his dry throat, Hughes felt like he was alive again. At this moment, some details caught his attention:

".When did my eyesight become so good?"

The room had curtains drawn, and the heavy velvet curtains blocked out almost no light - and it was still late at night, so there were no lights on in the room.

There was indeed a kerosene lamp next to the maid's chair, but the flame had obviously been turned down to the smallest possible level to prevent fire. The flickering flame, as small as a soybean, was the only source of light.

Hughes looked down at the cup in his hand. The cup was made of silver mixed with some copper and a very small amount of tin. The intricate pattern on it included iris decorations, which was the symbol of the Cohen family.

Copper and tin? He could tell at a glance that this silver cup also contained copper and tin? Hughes swallowed, took a few deep breaths, and suppressed his excitement.

The so-called "symbiotic ritual" did not seem to be a simple demand. He could actually see in the dark and even feel the material composition of the silver cup! This was wonderful. Being able to sense the material composition, what could be more suitable for industrial technology climbing than this?

He can tell whether a smelted metal ingot contains impurities just by touching it, and he can directly sense the synthesis of chemical substances. If he had this ability on Blue Star, he could directly take materials science to the next level.

Feeling a wonderful feeling in his heart, it was some kind of existence beyond perception, recalling the glimpse before he fell into a coma. Zeus closed his eyes and tried to use his new senses to perceive the world.

Have you ever tried to perceive the world without using your eyes?

Humans are very adaptable creatures, especially in certain aspects.

The retinal image of the eye is actually upside down, but the brain can still adapt, which is nothing.

But someone suddenly had an idea: what would happen if one day, the image no longer fell?

He designed a special pair of glasses that had no other function except that the image seen through them was flipped.

Anyone who wears these glasses walks unsteadily, cannot tell up from down, left from right, and is unable to take care of themselves.

It seems that we can draw a conclusion here about the defects of the human body and the limitations of natural evolution.

But the experiment did not end there.

He continued to make these people wear glasses, eat with glasses, and live with glasses, and they were not allowed to take them off for a moment.

It didn't take too long, about ten days, and all the subjects had fully adapted to the inverted world and were able to live a normal life.

The whole world is upside down in your eyes. You may feel absurd, terrified, and confused, but your body tells you: It's nothing special, just get used to it.

Human potential always exceeds one's expectations.

This is how Xiusi felt at the moment. He seemed to be in a warm stream of water, and countless pieces of information were washing over him like water.

And he was shocked to find that he could actually interpret this information.

I don't know when it started, but many changes took place in him.

Is this the symbiotic ritual? It is indeed "symbiosis". Not only do they share vitality, but they even share some sensory abilities.

Hughes suddenly realized that during the days he was unconscious, he was adapting to these extra senses. Feeling the new perception casually, Hughes found that it seemed to be related to water. He could easily perceive the nearby water area, and the larger the area of ​​water, the clearer it was.

Considering that this ability came from a strange fish, it made perfect sense. Zeus tried to sense the nearby waters.

The first thing that is easiest to perceive is probably the sea.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zeus sensed the sea effortlessly. The sea was several hundred meters away from the balcony. No, it was even closer!

Beneath this estate, beyond the soil and bricks, a warm ocean current flows.

"Um?"

Xius raised an eyebrow and concentrated on sensing.

As he explored carefully, the situation of the entire underground water veins unfolded in his mind like a picture scroll. Not only under the manor, but also under the entire island, he could vaguely feel the slowly flowing ocean currents.

As he sensed, a familiar presence entered his field of vision.

Is that the "swelling monster?"

Zeus was shocked. He thought that the swollen monster was either killed on the spot by the soldiers, or escaped far away, or used some means to become a guest of honor in this manor. He didn't expect it to be in the water veins under the manor.

Why is it still here? Is it waiting for me?

Speaking of this manor, Xiusi frowned and recalled carefully. He had not been here for long as a border earl, so who was the previous owner of this manor?

Seems to be a businessman? Of course, businessman is just a name on the surface. The Empire does not recognize the pirate king and his black sail fleet here, so there are only illegal merchants here.

The Storm Ocean is the only pearl on the east side of the empire. The Queen's eyes are always on this place. Unfortunately, the navy was established not long ago and the territory of the empire is bounded by the sea.

Thinking of this, Zeus curled his lips. The fact that he, an illegitimate child, could be directly made an earl showed from one side that the Queen was yearning for and eager about this sea area.

Xius walked quietly to the bedroom door and opened it carefully. While feeling the direction of the tide, he reached out and touched the wall.

On a quiet night, Hughes could hear his heart pounding.

He wanted to see the swollen monster. This was his first contact with the supernatural. He swallowed his saliva, walked through the door and out of the bedroom.
