Chen Senran did not inform Planck of his departure, because he knew that at such a time, Planck would never let him go.
But on the contrary, for Chen Senran, this matter must be done, he must figure out what his body, the thing that blinded him.
Even if he still can't find an answer this time, he still has to go.
No matter how calm he is, he really can't bear the long-term inhabitation of so many unknowns.
Let's at least figure it out a little bit first.
After casually staying with the pirates stationed on the Abyss, if Captain Planck asked, he said that I went to sea to attend to some personal affairs, which is extremely irresponsible.
Chen Senran sat down with Notilus and left under the stunned eyes of a group of pirates.
Yes, that's right, he just sat on Notirus.
Transformed by the unknown black substance, Notirus has completely detached himself from the category of human beings, and he no longer needs to sleep, eat, or even breathe.
If the seemingly innocuous flaw of not being human anymore is removed, he may have gained some kind of eternal life.
and, the bitter loneliness.
Natilus was so large that even if he sat on his back, he wouldn't be in a hurry, and his seemingly bloated body would be as fast as an arrow once he swam in the sea.
He also told Chen Senran that the place where he had an accident was not far from Bilgewater, and it was only because the sea conditions there were complicated and there were very few ships passing by that it was judged to be an unknown sea.
So Chen Senran didn't even bring supplies, so he sat cross-legged on the back of Notilus and went to sea.
At first glance, the posture of going parallel to the surface of the water really looks like a god.
"It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that after so many years, do you really remember it? Chen Senran did everything with certainty, this time he was in such a hurry, and he was really anxious, at this moment he went to sea for a hundred and ten miles, and finally calmed down a little. I couldn't help frowning.
This guy can't even tell which direction the continent is, and now he can still remember the location of the accident?
"Don't worry, although I have been asleep for more than ten years, and my mind is a little unclear, but ......" said this, the sea giant, who usually spoke slowly and his tone barely fluctuated, flashed a trace of self-deprecation, a trace of remorse, and a trace of helplessness. Complicated sighed, "That place, even if I die, I remember the taste." ”
The last few words, he almost uttered in a low voice.
It can be seen from this that he hates the events of the past, for the place that completely distorted his fate.
“…… I'm sorry. Chen Senran was silent for a while and apologized.
"It's okay. Ever since I woke up, I've known that I'm a monster from now on. This time I returned to the Anthropocene realm, and I also felt strange, as if I shouldn't exist in this realm, I should go back to the deep sea. "Nautirus smiled as if self-deprecatingly, and his voice was muffled, and he couldn't hear it well in the sea." In the end, it's just you, and it's still mine...... Like-minded. ”
Is it of the same kind?
Chen Senran wordlessly touched the thick blindfold in front of his eyes.
So what are we?
——————————————
After speeding forward at sea for a long time, Chen Senran gradually felt that the nearby sea area had become abnormal.
It's a very gratuitous feeling, like a biological instinct.
Obviously, the nearby waters are calm. But Chen Senran just felt something strange.
Dead air.
It's too lifeless, like walking into a dense forest with no birds or insects.
Here, this sea area, seems to be dead.
There is no life.
"Do you feel it?" Natilus spoke suddenly.
"Yes." Chen Senran nodded, this feeling made him a little uneasy.
"When we first came here, we noticed the anomaly here, it was so quiet that there weren't even fish." Notilus's speed continued unabated, "Although we have experienced many strange situations, but this one is the most strange, if it weren't for the mission of the War College, we would have turned around and returned a long time ago, and the result was ......"
He sighed again.
"Speaking of which, why did the War College want you to come here in the first place, do you know the reason for it?" Chen Senran remembered that Irelia said that she was a mortal enemy of the council, so it was necessary to understand the situation of the opponent.
"Well...... Actually, I don't know very much, but I just said that I was looking for something, specifically, the captain seems to know a little bit, I don't know very well. Natilus seemed to be reminiscing, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"Could it be that they're just looking for that black substance?" Chen Senran guessed, and he suddenly felt that this kind of speculation was extremely likely.
“…… It should be ......" Natilus only said one should and could no longer say it.
Because he also thought of this possibility.
If that's the case, then everything, is ......
War College.
"How far is it?" Chen Senran felt the situation around him, and the uncomfortable feeling became more and more obvious.
"It's not far away, it's almost there, huh......" Notilus exclaimed slightly, "...... It's gone. ”
"What...... Those things? Chen Senran was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted, obviously, they were already very close to their destination.
And Notilus, he can already see the sea where he once had an accident.
There's no such black substance there.
"They're gone, we're there." Nautirus stopped his progress and floated on the surface of the sea, "No, nothing." ”
In his words, there was a faint sense of loss.
Maybe deep down in his heart, he actually wants to use those unknown black substances to become human again, right?
"There is no one on the sea, but what about the sea? Let's go to the bottom of the sea. "Chen Senran didn't give up, the place was all here, how could he leave so easily?
If there is no material on the surface of the sea, then there may be one at the bottom of the sea, and according to the original description of Notilus, it is a material that floats on the surface of the sea, so it is very likely that it leaked from the bottom of the sea.
"Okay, but you're still a human being, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on, or you'll ......" Natilus' meaning was very clear, that is, to leave Chen Senran on the sea for the time being, and he would go alone.
He is not human now, and can easily dive to great depths.
"No, take me down, I want to try it first, maybe ......" Chen Senran couldn't say why he wanted to insist so much, he just felt that in the dark, something seemed to be calling.
It's like the first time I met Notilus.
"Well, tell me if you can't do it, you can't die here." Notilus didn't talk nonsense, and after telling Chen Senran a few words, he began to dive.
He dived very fast, and it was not until he roughly estimated the range that Chen Senran could not bear, and then he was able to stop.
"Did you find anything?" Notilus reopened his two giant searchlight-like eyes.
Use the dim yellow light to search for clues in the deep sea.
Chen Senran couldn't open his mouth in the sea, but just held his breath and carefully searched with his spiritual power.
This is much better than Notilus, after all, Notilus is the naked eye, and Chen Senran is deep into the category of energy, but it is more refined.
But to Chen Senran's disappointment, he didn't find anything useful.
Seeing that his breath was about to come to an end, Chen Senran knocked Notilus the back three times, which was a signal that he and Notilus had discussed the ascent before entering the water.
Notilus did not hesitate, and with a wave of his hands he was about to go up.
But at this time, there was a sudden change.
In the surrounding waters illuminated by Notilus, something black like an octopus's tentacles suddenly stretched out.
They quickly rolled towards Chen Senran and Nautillus.
It was as if it was going to swallow them upright. (To be continued......)
