72° north latitude, Greenland Sea.

March is approaching, spring has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere, and the temperature is gradually warming. The ice floes on the surface of the sea have thinned, broken and melted, leaving only some of the larger ice blocks still floating and sinking on the surface. The long-migrating seabirds finally find a place to rest, stand on the top of the ice and spread their wings, and comb their feathers with their long beaks.

It's a quiet place, and even the sea doesn't have waves like other seas. The only sound here is the occasional chirping of seabirds, slicing through the surrounding calm like a sharp blade. But the sound didn't travel far before it dissipated into the air, and the sharp blade cut through the water without a trace. From afar it looks like a pantomime.

The seabird, which had buried its head in its feathers to rest, suddenly raised its head in alarm, and its huge beak looked left and right. It's the instinct of wild animals. It sensed something dangerous approaching.

Loud noises preceded danger. If birdsong is a sharp blade, then this sound is an unstoppable torrent! The noise swept through the iron wall, startling the seabirds to flee in a hurry.

The source of the noise was a ship, a 150-meter-long behemoth, the sides of the ship painted black and the bridge a harsh red, and the seabirds flying away looked like a speck of dust in front of it.

Polar Behemoth, YAMAL.

Contrary to the normal of leisurely cruising, the YAMAL is racing on the sea at top speed, and the bow of the ship cuts through the sea surface and sets off huge waves several meters high, like the mythical giant beast "Kunpeng", crushing everything.

There was a black figure on the red bridge. The figure in the blue jacket sat at the top of the bridge, his legs on the outside of the bridge, holding a flat wine jar in his hand, and sipping it down. Drinking in such a place is a dead thing, and the extremely cold wind will instantly turn the wine in the jar into a flat block of ice, and then stick the finger holding the jar to the jar. But the guy looks quite comfortable. If you look closely, you'll see several black flames licking the bottom of the jar.

"What are you looking at? JACK&ROSE？ ”

The roulette wheel rotated twice, and the gangway cover behind the figure was lifted, and a girl in a red jacket climbed out of it. The sea breeze ruffled her long black hair, which was like seaweed in the water.

"No, I didn't think about the Titanic." The figure responded, still looking ahead. "How? Kotono. ”

"There's nothing out of the ordinary, that's the last guess." Qin Nai frowned, a little dissatisfied and a little helpless: "It's the same as what you said." Never trust the Russians unless you take their vodka before work. It's not that they drink too much and fall asleep, we don't need to be in such trouble at all. ”

"It's not that exaggerated." Li Su smiled. "The conditions for the opening to open that Christmas should be true, and I don't have much hope for it."

"So what are we doing here?"

"Try it, just in case. Sit? ”

"Forget it." Kotono shook her head and pulled a strand of hair behind her ear. "I'm here to ask where you're going next, and to convey the coordinates."

"I've already told Kaguya-hime the coordinates, and she'll arrange it. Stay with me. ”

"Okay." Kotono didn't refuse, leaning over and letting him hold him in his arms. "Last time we ...... like this"

"A long time ago...... When I was in the lake at the top of the mountain. Li Su sighed a little. Then there is the Beijing subway facing the king of the earth and the mountain, then Tokyo facing the white king, and then there is the constant mission...... Before you know it, a long time has passed. ”

"yes."

Li Su handed out the wine can, and Qin Nai didn't refuse, so he took it and took a sip. But before she could get down her stomach, she coughed repeatedly, and Li Su hurriedly patted her on the back to make her feel a little better.

"This ......"

"Vodka, I'm looking for Sasha for it." Li Su looked natural.

"...... you" Kotono glared back at him, her apricot eyes wide.

Li Su sighed. "I know you don't like it, okay today?"

Kotono glared at him, her gaze softening. She raised her head and took another big sip, feeling the heat rising in her body, and asked faintly, "Why do you want to drink?" ”

"I want to try to get myself drunk, try what it's like to not have to think about anything."

"Try?"

"If I fail, maybe the alcohol will decompose four times faster in my body."

Kotono crossed her legs, sat next to Li Su, and looked him in the eyes: "Are you tired?" ”

"It's not tired, it's anxiety." Li Su shook his head slowly, looked at his hand, he slowly clenched his fist, and slowly let go.

"Am I taking the right step? Will I be able to find what I'm looking for? Is what you find real? What should I do if I am found? …… I do not know. ”

Rarely, Kotono saw some vulnerability and lack of confidence in Li Su's eyes.

"You weren't like this before......" Kotono put his hands to Li Su's ears, and his forehead lightly touched his. Staying here for so long made his forehead a little cold, and she hoped it would make him feel a little warmer.

"For from now on I am also a Lamb in the wilderness." Li Su smiled bitterly.

Quietly, I don't know how long it has been, Li Su reached out and hugged Qin Nai, got up and stood at the top of the bridge. He unscrewed the cap of the jug but did not drink it, he raised his hand and poured out the wine inside, and the vodka as clear as water flowed down in front of the bridge window, and smashed on the metal deck and splashed one after another, and the petals condensed into thin ice chips in mid-air, and shattered on the metal deck, the jug emptied, and he put the jug back in his pocket.

Kotono looked up at him. The Li Su she was familiar with had returned, and that Li Su could always appear in the right place neither earlier nor later, shoot at the most accurate time, and use the most appropriate method to reverse the predicament. After that Li Su broke off in the subway, he rescued her in the flooded Tokyo and launched the White King into the sky in the No. 13 water storage well.

Li Su turned around, with a faint smile on his face as always, and suddenly clenched his fist and hit the palm of his other hand, and the smile grew.

"Come on! Let's get that guy out of the way! He also owes me a promise to let me have dinner with the girl I like! ”
