Hera stared at the other person suspiciously, then whispered to the sea bream beside her.
"He said he just wanted to learn your language, but you haven't been cooperating. Is that true?"
"Cooperate? How can I cooperate!" Haidingyu was slightly agitated. "With his ghostly appearance, you'd be scared half to death just looking at him. Do you think I can cooperate?!"
...That seems to make sense.
"Then why did you come here? How did you get in? What is your purpose in coming to Ocean World?"
Hera asked three questions in a row, and most of her wariness had disappeared.
"Your question... well, that's a long story."
He sighed and shuffled heavily into the cave. "Beautiful lady, why don't we come in and talk?"
Hera pondered for a moment, then slowly swam over.
"Hey?! What's going on here?! Why aren't you running away? Why are you sending them inside?!"
Seeing that the direction of movement was wrong, the sea bream began to struggle.
"Don't be afraid, he might not be a bad person. Don't worry, I will protect you if there is any danger."
After saying that, she gave the sea urchin a sweet smile, which immediately calmed the sea urchin down.
Hera swam into the cave, her gaze fixed on the strangely dressed person in front of her.
The man glanced at Hera, shuddered, and then walked deeper into the cave.
Looking down, I found a small stone cave that could barely fit one person through.
"Come in with me."
He said something to Hera behind him, then skillfully jumped into the hole, his fat body slowly moving inside like a maggot.
After twisting for more than ten seconds, it went in with a "pop".
Hera looked at the cave, hesitated for a moment, and then went inside.
Unlike the former, Hera, with her slender figure, passed through the cave entrance without any difficulty and swam in, dragging the sea bream with her.
This is an ordinary, enclosed space with nothing around it.
Hera looked around but couldn't find the person, and her heart jumped.
Suddenly, she felt something swaying above her head. When she looked up, she was stunned.
The seawater overhead shimmered, and the reflection of the light created ripples on the surface.
Hera, somewhat incredulous, reached out her hand through the ripples and felt the hand become heavy. Excitedly, Hera plunged forward.
Splash—
Seawater splashed out, and Hera, holding onto the shore, struggled to pull herself up.
Wiping the seawater off her face, Hera stood up and greedily inhaled the long-missed air.
Looking around, there was no seawater at all, just a space filled with air.
His large chest heaved, and his eyes suddenly became a little moist.
"Hey, you can let me go and then untie the rope! I'm sinking!"
The sea bream, like a drowning fish, thrashed about as it slowly sank.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!"
Hera snapped out of her daze and quickly jumped back into the sea to untie the ropes.
After doing all this, Hera climbed ashore again, shook her head to shake off the water, and then began to look around.
The entire cave is about the size of a bedroom, and its structure doesn't look particularly special, except for the addition of many furniture-like items.
A table made of stone, about half a person's height, and several small stone stools around it.
There was also a light bulb on the table that kept glowing.
In the corner of the cave, there was a backpack and some living supplies.
At this moment, Hera's heart, which had been constantly in her throat, finally settled down.
Because she understood that at least she was still in her original world, and she still had a chance to go back, to her home! To see her mother and Zhao Rui!
At this moment, the masked figure was already sitting on one of the stone benches.
After a while, he reached out and twisted something on his body that looked like a switch.
With a click, the once perfectly sealed device began to loosen.
With his huge hands, he pulled hard on the helmet and slowly removed the heavy helmet.
Hera stared intently with her large, peach-colored eyes, trying to make out the person's face.
The helmet was slowly moved aside, revealing a kind-looking, chubby face to the air.
"..." Why am I a little disappointed?
In typical situations like this, shouldn't the person behind the mask be a handsome guy or something?
It seems that television and comics really can't be taken literally.
"Ah, it feels so good to be home. I was so bored staying in this metal thing all the time."
He leaned against the table and let out a long sigh, looking quite content.
He noticed Herra patted the bench next to him, speaking somewhat reservedly.
"Beautiful lady, please sit wherever you like. Make yourself at home."
"Oh, okay."
Hmm... that's how the people of Great Xia welcome guests, so it seems there's no problem.
Hera sat down, water droplets slowly sliding down her fair thighs.
The man, who was taking off his other gear, caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye. He paused, hurriedly took out a piece of cloth from the side, and gave it to Hera.
"Thanks."
Hera thanked her and began to wipe her body.
The other person also turned their back tacitly and took off their heavy clothes.
Soon, both of them finished their tasks.
"What are these things? What kind of creatures are you two?"
The sea bream surfaced, its upper body emerging from the water, its eyes filled with wariness as it stared at Hera and the man.
Oh right, Xiao Hai said he entered Wansha Valley three days ago, so he doesn't recognize himself yet.
"Hello, my name is Hera. I'm a prospective guardian, currently undergoing guardian trials. I've come to rescue you."
Upon hearing this, Haidingyu's eyes lit up immediately. "You really came to save me! Let's get going now!"
"Hmm... let's wait a bit longer, I still have some things I want to clarify."
She looked at the man sitting opposite her, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
The sea urchin didn't say anything more, lying on the shore quietly watching the two of them.
"Uh... hello, beautiful lady, my name is Nangong Wu, what's your name...?"
The man scratched his head and took the initiative to greet him.
"My name is Hera, hello!" Hera smiled sweetly.
Hello! Hello!
Nangong Wu paused several times, a hint of apprehension and fear flashing in his eyes.
"Excuse me, may I ask who you are? Why are you here? And don't you know how to get out?"
Hera once again raised these three questions.
"Oh dear, it's a long story, but I'll try to keep it short."
Nangong Wu sat on the bench, puffing out his chest with some pride.
"Beautiful lady, do you know about the Night Stars?"
"Night Stars?" Hera thought for a moment. "I know, I often see them on TV. They are heroes who protect humanity from aliens."
"That's right! I am the Night Star, I am the hero!"
Nangong Wu smiled proudly, his fat jiggling slightly.
