"hiss..."
"If you analyze it carefully, isn't it true that the last person to leave in this 'first division' is in the most danger?"
In a corner of the spectator area, Ming Ken stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.
"That's right!"
"The earlier you leave, the more likely someone is to cover you from behind, ensuring the giant iron ball stays tilted! But the last person to leave, once everyone else has left, it's very difficult for one person to time their entry into the hole..."
"unless..."
Haiyi responded to Ming Ken's question, then suddenly paused!
"Unless what?"
"Unless the seven people who leave the track don't rush into the [Second Zone], but instead wait under the giant iron ball for the last person! In that case, if the seven of them work together to push the iron ball aside, the last person can also enter the [Second Zone]..."
"But... this is just a beautiful vision!"
"Take another look at reality."
Do you think these six [ship girls] will cooperate?
"this..."
"Heh heh—we're all from big families, who isn't selfish?"
"......"
The sea breeze gently caressed their faces, and they fell silent without warning.
......
At the same time.
[Shanhai Domain·Shanhai College].
The school has been on long holiday because of the World Championship.
In the lobby of the [Shan Hai Hao], Principal Cui Mingyuan looked solemnly at a middle-aged man wearing a mask who sat opposite him.
Inside the hall, besides Cui Mingyuan and the middle-aged man, the boatwoman [Shan Hai] was also there, as were Zheng Yunlong and his boatwoman [Yun Zhi].
No one spoke in the hall, and the atmosphere became eerily somber.
finally!
Zheng Yunlong couldn't help but speak first: "Principal Cui, you said you wanted to see me? What is it? My son is still in the competition... Don't delay me!"
"Well..."
"This matter concerns the entire upper echelons...we must discuss it with you personally..."
"As for the competition..."
"Thud—"
In the center of the hall, a projector slowly turned on, revealing a completely dark scene.
This is Zheng Hao's first-person perspective on the "Devil Ship".
"Don't worry..."
"What I'm going to talk about today is also related to Zheng Hao! So, we'll be witnessing his entire match..."
"Huh? It has something to do with my son? How could that be?"
Just as Zheng Yunlong was about to retort, the person wearing a mask slowly removed it, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar face: "Mr. Zheng, long time no see! Do you...remember me?"
"you..."
"Who are you?!"
The man in front of her had features that resembled Mo Yurou's.
After gazing at him for a long time, a scene sealed in his memory and which he had never been able to let go of slowly surfaced.
"You...you were the leader of the [Shattered Star] team back then?!"
I remember now!
Zheng Yunlong remembered!
He had met this person many years ago.
At that time, he was still participating in the Global Exploration Race - Vortex Black Hole Race.
It was during that competition that he completely lost his determination to win the championship.
He remembered clearly what a nightmare it was to encounter [Shattered Star] on that track! But strangely... after that race, [Shattered Star] participated in fewer and fewer races!
Until a few years ago, she perished in the [Vortex Black Hole Tournament].
"That's right..."
"Regarding [Shattered Star]...and also regarding Zheng Hao now...I think I might need to change my address for you! Father-in-law!"
The man smiled and looked at Zheng Yunlong, whose pupils dilated in surprise: "You! What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"take it easy..."
"Next, I'll tell you a story..."
"You will also learn what really happened back then..."
"you..."
"Try to recall, back in the day during a race, did you suddenly encounter a shark tide that almost drowned you and your ship girl?"
"That's right... I don't even want to recall that match!"
Zheng Yunlong nodded, while Yunzhi behind him trembled imperceptibly.
"Yes..."
"What I need to tell you is that in that match... actually, [Shattered Star] was targeted! Your crisis was indirectly caused by [Shattered Star]!"
"What?"
"Yes! Back then, in the Vortex Black Hole Tournament, [Shattered Star] chose the largest 'Vortex' challenge, while the other [Big Family] contestants all chose different 'Vortexes'. So logically speaking, [Shattered Star] shouldn't have encountered them!"
"But... according to [Shattered Star]'s recorder, halfway through the voyage, she was surrounded by ten [Ship Girls] and almost died in their pincer attack!"
"It was at this moment that [Shattered Star] displayed the talent of a [Distance-Breaking Ship Girl] and activated a [Skill] that surpassed [SSS Rank]!"
"After this battle, [Shattered Star] managed to escape, but that ability to fight above her level indirectly put all of you in danger! She felt very guilty and has rarely participated in matches since..."
"but..."
"What you don't know is that after that competition, the major families realized the potential of [Shattered Star], and they all began secretly searching for [Shattered Star], attempting to study and decompose it..."
"We've reported these practices to the Shipping Alliance before, but unfortunately, these 'big families' always manage to avoid punishment..."
