Deep.

The water area below 5,000 meters is the forbidden area for the life of most creatures, except for those special creatures that have been seriously deformed, no freshwater life can come here safely without the help of external forces.

Of course, fish that have become thin into patches, crabs whose limbs and joints have become like lobsters, and black squid that have no bones do not seem to be creatures that can go to shallow waters.

After the Honkai began, the fish began to mutate, devour, and even evolve.

Unlike the Dead and Honkai on land, these underwater creatures seem to be able to change more perfectly.

Devour, evolve. Devour, evolve. Devour, evolve.

These are the things that are happening day and night at every moment in places that cannot be detected by human eyes, and the creatures at the bottom of the sea have been detected to have energy fluctuations comparable to S-class in combat power.

However, these creatures never go to the shallow water to cause trouble, but act as the "king of the mountain" in the abyss-like place, and if they do not interact with humans, they can be regarded as well water and not river water.

But in the past few days, two groups of people from different organizations have broken into an ancient and secluded deep sea, disturbing the peace of the entire underwater world.

"Here it is...... Nine Shades? ”

In the huge black-tech submarine, through the heavy but clear and transparent glass, the apricot made some exclamatory sounds, looking at a magnificent landscape in front of him.

The two huge dark blue fangs were like the Dinghai Divine Needle supporting the entire sea area, but what was amazing was that under the fangs was a huge hole, like the mouth of an abyss beast, from which a cold aura emanated.

The black-haired woman took the copywriter in her hand and compared it, and then replied in a determined tone: "The possibility that this is the Nine Shadows is not high, but it does have a strong Honkai energy reaction. ”

Rational analysis, the probability of the nine shadows here in a broad sense is less than 40%, because it is different from the position recorded in the copy, but the words themselves do not have more than 50% credibility.

The black-haired woman suggested that a more appropriate title would be "Abyss" than "Nine Shadows", which should have been a very common title, but it did make more sense to describe it.

In a broad sense, the Nine Shadows refers to the deepest part of the underground, which has the same artistic conception as "Returning to the Ruins", compared to which the "Nine Shadows" here is more like a huge cemetery.

"Cut, it doesn't matter what kind of Nine Shadows Abyss he is, he just needs to hurry up and go in and grab the holy relics from the hands of the Mandate of Heaven's garbage and the task will be completed, right?"

Without Su Bai present, although her hairstyle and clothing did not return to her previous style, her tone seemed to have returned to the normalcy before she met Su Bai.

"Theoretically, but this time the task may not be as simple as it seems," the woman pushed the frames of her glasses on the bridge of her nose.

Xing frowned unhappily and said, "What else can be a problem?" ”

"It's about Lord Bai," the woman glanced at Xing, who had become a little restrained when she heard this name, and then held the copywriter and said quickly:

"The news of adding Lord Bai, who has turned the border of Shenzhou upside down, to the inverse entropy has been spread a long time ago, and the Mandate of Heaven must have obtained a large amount of simulation data."

"You mean to say that those trash thought that Sister Su Bai would come here and send more useless troops?"

"I don't know if it's a useless army, but at least solve the problem of them who have obtained the holy relics, even if they may be lost because of the holy relics, the level of trouble should be a few notches higher."

"So what, the trash Valkyries of Destiny, Uncle Ben is not afraid at all!"

"It's better to be careful......

While the two were talking, the submarine had already fallen to the edge of the huge dark hole, and the irresistible attraction slowly sucked the entire submarine into the big hole, and the cold snap seemed to freeze time.

"Are you ready?" The woman said.

"Who do you think Uncle Ben is?" Apricot replied.

"That's good."

The submarine sank into the big hole, and endless darkness swept in, as if it was deprived of sight and hearing for a moment, and the whole world became silent.

"You...... Call...... I ......"

Suddenly, someone whispered intermittently in Xing's ear, but the dry voice gave her a familiar feeling.

"Who?!"

Apricot turned her head and said loudly in a threatening voice, but no one answered the question in the endless darkness.

Some just whispered, like the tide of the sea, one after the other, whispering staccato words in her ear.

“…… Hurry up ......"

There were countless voices, as if urging her.

In fact, it is the same sound, which can be heard as a kind of voice and a frequency, but it is intricate and intricate, as if surrounded by countless doppelgangers.

Say no more.

Xing suddenly hugged his head, his expression a little hideous. The whispering man was telling her a tragic story one by one, affectionately.

It is the story of the noblest princess, swallowed by darkness.

Say no more!

Rejection, yelling, screaming, none of them will come in handy.

The voices grew louder and clearer, as if they were calling out loudly in their own ears, and the disturbing frequencies gradually overlapped.

“…… Now, jealousy, lust, gluttony, anger, greed, these are all things that are necessary to be human, right? A sweet voice whispered in her ear.

"That kind of thing is good anyway," Apricot thought bitterly, and said sadly, "Shut up, garbage! Get out of my way! ”

She didn't know why she was so sad, she was so uncomfortable, as if she was being caught in her heart by something cold, and she was also angry, like she had lit a fire that burned the world.

Like a beautiful trap, the survivors who were about to escape from the whirlpool were dragged back to march, and the survivors struggled with all their might.

"Oops, I'm angry......"

"yes, yes, angry, like a real person."

“……”

The same voices surrounded Xing's ears one after another, and at the same time filled her mind, pain, sadness, loneliness, and negative emotions seemed to condense into black hands, trying to pull her into the abyss.

But suddenly, the world brightened, and the fiery red light dispelled the whole heaven and earth, but it was not the light of hope, but the path to hell covered with flames.

A scene that had never been seen before, the huge castle exploded, burned, screamed one after another, and the wind and snow outside the castle were blown away by the thick smoke from the windows, but poured in with greater momentum.

It seems that you can hear the sound of the crystal slipper colliding with the ground, crisp and gentle, in stark contrast to everything around it.

Xing turned her head and looked at the small figure walking slowly in the wind and snow. She was slowly approaching, stepping on the snow step by step, but making a "pop" sound.

Finally, her face appeared in front of Xing.

"How can you ......" Apricot covered her mouth in disbelief, her eyes widening at the sudden shock.

Because standing in front of her was another "Apricot Mar", or rather, the state of Apricot before she came to the Kokolia Orphanage, that noble and elegant Russian nobleman.

But she is not herself, and Xing can feel that the other party is missing something she has. And he also lacks something that the other party has.

She couldn't tell.

With a miserable smile, tears rolling down her cheeks as she grinned, her long pink hair burned by the flames, leaving only the short hair of her shawl and the red sparks at the ends.

Flickering firelight erupted around her, staining her two heterochromatic pupils red.

"You, what the hell ......" Xing wanted to question, but she couldn't really say the words when they came to her mouth.

At this moment, "Xing Mar" raised his right hand and placed it on his chest. Xing realized that the purple dress on the other party's body had been burned by the flames.

And the red liquid that was stained everywhere on her body was blood, right?

"Na, Xing Mar, you say, are you like a human now?" She grinned, tears falling down her face, and there was a heartbreaking smile on her pretty and lovely little face.

And then.

"I guess, yes, after all, ......" she suddenly showed a bitter expression.

Then, as if turning on a switch, Apricot Marr suddenly stretched out her right hand, as if to touch the apricot, but before that hand could reach out, the castle's huge explosion broke through the momentary silence.

Boom!

The exploding spark brought an extremely strong flash, the world in front of him suddenly disappeared, and the apricot appeared in the darkness again, and her consciousness gradually dimmed.

Flames, smoke, clocks.

The earth-shattering explosion pierced at the same time, as well as this ephemeral dream.

"Next time, be sure to ......"

Before Apricot returned to the darkness, "Apricot Marr" said so.

……

"Apricot team leader, apricot team leader...... Apricot team leader! ”

In the darkness, it seems, someone is calling their own name.

The whole person seemed to be soaked in water, and he could only open his eyes with force, and the heavy feeling slowly dissipated, and with a blink of his eyes, the world in his apricot eyes gradually became clear.

In front of her is a black-haired woman with glasses, Japanese, Yuki Murakita.

"We ...... Where is it? What happened? Apricot was still a little confused, obviously not completely recovering from the extremely realistic dream.

Yuki turned over and sat on the mechanical titan as he explained to Apricot lying on the air cushion, "We have entered the interior of the 'Nine Shadows', but as you can see, we are now in an unknown location. ”

"No, it's not this," Apricot shook her head vigorously, "I mean, what happened to me before?" Why did I pass out? ”

Although he was surprised by the way Apricot spoke, Yuki continued to patiently explain, "When I sank into this place, I didn't take into account that there was no room for water......

It was a little dark around, but I could see the land beneath my feet, which was a lot of dark purple rocks not far apart, and it looked like huge floating land.

But as Yuki's words say, the surroundings are not filled with deep sea water with strong pressure like the outside world, but dry air.

“…… That is, when the submarine comes into contact with the air, the process from a high-pressure to a low-pressure environment creates a violent turbulence, and it is then that your head hits the rail......"

The next thing can be guessed without Yuki explaining Xing, she cares more about the conversations in the dream and the girl, but it seems that no one else knows.

"In that case," Xing, who had regained her spirits, stood up and sat down in the only blazing lightning, "Uncle Ben will take you to the group of trash Valkyries of Destiny!" ”

Among the large pile of mecha that accompanied Xing's arrival, eighty percent were automatic mechas, and there were only four people who actually came with her, including herself.

It looks dark all around, but in fact there is a purple-red shimmer, and although it is not obvious, you can see the road under your feet and in front of you.

At the end of the line of sight, there was a huge purple light that rose into the sky. Apricot prepared for a while, and took the first step towards that side.

"Keep up," Yuki shouted to the two people behind him, seeing that Apricot was already far ahead.
