In Tokyo Bay at night, waves hit the embankment on the shore.

The car radio was playing a rakugo program that Ling also couldn't appreciate. The performer seemed to be a well-known businessman, but she really couldn't understand what the actor said was funny. There were some old-fashioned homophonic jokes, and then there was something inexplicable.

Metaphor.

【Oh, I’ve been waiting for a long time.】

[Bring it quickly and let me have a look.]

【Is this saury?】

【Exactly】

Is there anything funny about these conversations? If it’s just telling a story, there’s no plot, and if it’s trying to make people laugh, there’s nothing funny either.

Is her laugh point too high? But it’s also true that when she was a child, the movie of Star Lord that made her laugh to tears would only be nostalgic when she watched it a few years later, and the laugh point would no longer be found. She couldn’t feel the decadence of the 1970s.

The laughter of Yu (stand-up comedy) is not surprising.

Seeing that Ling didn't like it either, Miye held the steering wheel and adjusted the radio station with his other hand. However, after adjusting all the receivable channels, there was no good program. So he turned off the radio.
p>

Ling also opened the car window a little, letting the sea breeze blow into the car.

"The evening breeze is quite comfortable. Grandpa Ye, please turn off the air conditioner in the car."

"Okay."

Miye Yiyan turned off the air conditioner and opened both windows.

The wind is getting stronger, and the wind blowing in the summer night carries the unique salty smell of the sea. Without the interference of the radio sound, you can clearly hear the roar of the sea. The sound of the roar is even more quiet.

The sea in the middle of the night is dark and deep, as if it can absorb all the light. But the darkness does not scare people, but has an attractive and mysterious atmosphere. There is a lighthouse on the reef shore, and the blazing white searchlights pass by in the darkness from time to time.

There is no moon in the sky tonight. There are always a few days every month when the sun and moon turn to similar angles relative to the earth. When the sun sets at night, the moon also goes to the other side of the earth. Without the tidal pull of the moon, the waves in Tokyo Bay do not move.

Not big, just a gentle wave that surges onto the beach and then recedes.

Ling also looked at the sea.

She is not a good swimmer, so she was a little afraid of the deep and bottomless ocean.

She once choked in the swimming pool when she was a child. It was when she went to the swimming pool alone when she was ten years old. She was not very familiar with swimming and knew how to splash twice. She accidentally swam into the 2-meter deep water area, but when she needed to take a breath, she

I found that my feet could no longer touch the bottom of the swimming pool.

There was no one accompanying me, and even the lifeguard didn’t pay attention. I drank more than ten sips of water before flopping to the shore.

Since then, I have been somewhat averse to water and have never learned to swim. So until I entered high school, my swimming skills were still at the level of a few splashes.

However, since she received the Agul Medal, she has become closer to the sea and no longer feels repulsive.

"Grandpa Ye, please stop the car."

Without asking any questions, Jianye found a temporary parking space on the side of the road and parked the car.

"What happened, Miss?"

Ling also shook her head.

She opened the car door and got out of the car, and walked step by step towards the coast. She didn't stop until the tidal water splashed on her white insteps exposed from her white sandals.

Through the dim starlight, you can vaguely see the shells scattered on the beach, and occasionally hermit crabs drilling out small holes.

"I heard a voice."

"Voice?"

Jian Ye followed the eldest lady, one body behind. He didn't care that the wet sand soaked his leather shoes.

"I want to go take a look. Grandpa Ye, please wait for me in the car. I'll be back soon."

"This -" If it were the eldest lady in the past, Miye would certainly not have let her get close to the sea at night, as it would be too dangerous. But the current eldest lady had his words of dissuasion coming to her lips but could not say them out. At this time,

, he saw a faint blue light emanating from Lingye.

The next moment, the girl threw herself into the sea.

That is the light of the ocean that belongs to Agur. In the blue light, this sea can no longer give her suffocation and fear. Just like Gaia standing on the earth, the sea at this time brings her only kindness and comfort.

.

In the sky, a TAC team's Aero was flying by on patrol. From the corner of his Beidou pilot's eyes, he could only see a blue shadow flashing across the sea. But when he looked closely, it was nowhere to be seen. It made people wonder if he was dazzled. He didn't pay attention, because Ace

The ring did not flash, which meant that Ace found no trace of the super beast.

Maybe it's just dazzling. Beidou thought this, but he also heard that sometimes there are some phosphorescent seaweeds in the sea, and there is an orchid light at night. It is very mysterious, even if humans claim to be from the earth.

Owner, but there are still too many unknowns on this planet.

"Beidou, please report the patrol situation."

"Beidou received it. I am now over Tokyo Bay. No abnormalities have been found. I have completed the scheduled patrol route and am now ready to return. Complete!"

On the other side, after passing by the Aero, the blue light shuttled through the sea at an incomparable speed, better than dolphins, better than torpedoes, and better than all living creatures and man-made objects in the ocean. From Tokyo Bay

After entering the sea, it headed west, crossing Kanagawa, Shizuoka, and Nara in a short period of time, and finally entered the Seto Inland Sea along the strait between Naruto City and Minami-Awaji City.

Ten years later, a Naruto Bridge will be built across the strait. At this time, the bridge has disappeared, but the Naruto Maelstrom, which has become a famous attraction due to the huge water level difference between the inner and outer seas, still exists.

Naruto Uzumaki, this is also the origin of the name of the protagonist in an animation that Rei also once watched.

It is 20 meters in diameter, and even observations have recorded a huge whirlpool reaching 30 meters at one time. It is the largest ocean whirlpool on earth. Passing ships must be extremely careful. It doesn’t matter for a 10,000-ton ship. Smaller ships may be caught if they are not careful.

Wrapped into the seabed. It looks like a huge black hole in the dark night.

The blue light did not hesitate and went straight through the huge black hole.

Many years ago, in another world, she once traveled to Japan and saw the Great Whirlpool on the Naruto Bridge. At that time, she wanted to take a sightseeing ship at Fura Port, but finally gave up because of the schedule and weather. She did not expect to be able to do so at this time.

This perspective sees the maelstrom.

Looking down from the sky, it looks like a terrible whirlpool of death, like a black hole, but there are a lot of creatures under the water. Fish and shrimps are swimming around. The intersection of the inner and outer seas brings rich mineral nutrients here, and it is still very lively even at night.

.

But this was not her destination. The light of the ocean took Lingya into the Seto Inland Sea. This is a sea area of ​​nearly 20,000 square kilometers, surrounded by Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu.

Somewhere in the middle of the sea, there was a fishing boat parked quietly. In the dark night, the fishing boat had no lights and made no sound. In fact, Ling also noticed that there was no one on the boat. The boat was still intact, and it was obviously not a shipwreck.

, but it was abandoned in this water area.

Just like the legendary ghost ship.

Blue light separated from the sea, and Ling also stepped out of the light and appeared on the deck of the fishing boat.

To be honest, walking on such a ghost ship in the middle of the night is like filming a ghost movie, and Ling is also a little creepy. It has nothing to do with strength. Even if she can destroy the big monster, she will still be afraid. Fortunately, in Gaia

The light has always been with her.

The light felt Lingye's emotions, flew out from her hairpin, and hung above her head, shining like a small sun, shining like daylight.

"Thank you, Gaia."

The light of Gaia dispelled the fear, and Ling also walked into the dark cabin. Using the light, she quickly found the lighting button and pressed it - the light turned on.

Apparently, the power system on the ship was still normal and the lights were bright again. The light of Gaia flew back to Lingye's hairpin.

Apart from the fact that there is no one around, this place is no different from an ordinary fishing boat on the sea. If the police come to investigate, they will probably be confused. There are no blood stains and no traces of struggle. They can only suspect that the people on the boat abandoned the ship and left because of something.

As for those boat people who cannot be found for a long time, they can only register the missing people.

After the legal period of three to five years, if a family member voluntarily applies, the person can be declared dead and the estate divided and disposed of.

But it's different from Lingya's perspective.

"Are you the ones calling me?"

She came here from the distant Tokyo Bay because she heard a voice. The voice from the soul of the dead.

There was indeed no one in the cabin, but souls were left behind, and they were all killed. From Lingya's perspective, those souls exuded a faint light and were not scary. They were just passengers who had completed their journey in the world and were waiting tiredly.

Return to the original place.

Before that, they still had some last words to express in a language that only Gaia could understand.

"Is it a super beast? A super beast from the sea..."

Their deaths were not accidental or man-made, but they were attacked by super beasts without anyone knowing. The super beasts from the sea, with long tentacles, attacked the unsuspecting fishermen on the deck.

One by one they were pulled into the sea and devoured.

Ling also walked out of the cabin and returned to the deck. She walked to the side of the ship and looked down. She looked across the sea to the bottom of the sea, but found nothing. The super beast had left.

The sea is too vast, just like a person cannot detect a certain bacteria on his body. Even with Aguru's light, she still cannot find it easily.

Those golden figures are still narrating to her.

"I understand, I will definitely destroy this super beast. So please have a good rest, it's ready."

Ling also stretched out her hand, and an invisible portal seemed to appear in the sky, which is where the soul belongs. Each shadow turned into golden light and returned to the original sea of ​​​​origin of the planet.

When not everything.
