Rolf walked to the end of the corridor, and he shook his bandaged arm, the wound not healing very quickly.

It's ironic to think about it, as a German soldier, he was regarded as an enemy by the battleship Bismarck, the proud battleship of Germany, and the wounds left by the banquet that night, coupled with the mishandling at the beginning, really did not heal for a few weeks.

"Z13 don't run around." Rolf said to his lieutenant, who was curiously watching around the hallway.

"Ming... Understood, sir. The adjutant with a report book in his hand ran cautiously to Rolf's side like a hamster, but his eyes were still looking around.

This is the area classified as classified, and it is the area that Rolf is involved in in preserving the archives.

It was a surprise that Rolf would be here today, because since the last deep-sea attack on the French coast and the bombing of the parliament building, Rolf had been assigned the position of an ordinary admiral, ready to fight for the onslaught of the deep-sea.

But a week has passed, and if there is not a single deep sea in the surrounding seas, it can be explained that the deep sea has secretly gathered a large fleet to attack the European coast in one fell swoop, which is the so-called calm before the storm.

But it is a pity that after that night, the deep sea was still scattered outside the human sea as always, and there was no sign of any increase in numbers, or even of a stronger level, and there was not even the idea of attacking.

This made Rolf realize that maybe he was tricked, not all the admirals in the whole of Europe were played, this is just like during World War II, the Soviet leader Stalin pinched his fingers and calculated that the German army would attack Moscow in a blitzkrieg way, so he asked his army and people to quickly build fortifications against the extreme cold, and built the Mozhesk Line, waiting for the whole line, tensed his nerves, and waited sleeplessly for seven days and seven nights, only to find that those German troops had invaded, not to mention the invasion, and they didn't even see a shadow!

There may be many people who feel fortunate about this, but those soldiers who have made sufficient preparations and waited sleepless in order to meet this devastating battle, in addition to rejoicing, are probably aggrieved... However, when those Soviets knew that they were here to meet the war, their nerves were so tense that they were about to break, and as a result, the Germans didn't know how many miles away from the rear, holding a beer and holding a beautiful girl to celebrate day and night, this grievance probably turned directly into anger, and they carried their guns and killed directly on the land of those Germans.

Rolf was a German soldier, but that's what he thinks now...... Not only him, but the admirals of the whole of Europe complained, what about the invasion that they had been waiting for for so long? What about people? For this event, I have been sleeping for more than a week! The liver is about to break! As a result, there is not even a shadow of the good event......

And what made the European admirals most embarrassed was that they didn't know where the enemy's deep sea headquarters was, and in the past week, they had almost searched the surrounding seas, and they had never found a deep sea that exceeded the level of heavy patrol.

Therefore, Rolf was temporarily transferred back from the front line, mainly because as an admiral, he only had a destroyer, Z13, and the rank was only one level.

Far from the front line, Rolf was not idle, he had come to find information about the deep sea.

To Rolf's surprise, after many investigations, it was revealed that the strange deep-sea had indeed left a record of activity in Europe.

It's not a clean record, it's a criminal record.

Rolf stood at the end of the hallway and knocked on the door, and when he heard someone inside, he pushed the door open and walked inside.

"You stay outside." Rolf glanced at the adjutant beside him, although a woman of this age should not appear in the army, but it is undeniable that as a ship girl, she has a stronger learning ability than ordinary people, at least the report she writes, every time Rolf is very satisfied.

"It's... Sir. She saluted the military salute individually, no matter how fast she learned other aspects, she could never learn all kinds of etiquette in the army.

Rolf looked at her, even if he didn't make any expressions, the serious temperament of the German soldier himself still made his adjutant subconsciously correct his military posture.

Only then did Rolf enter the room.

It was a separate archive, and on the table was what Rolf wanted.

"Major, these are the things you want."

Behind the desk sat an archivist in a white lab coat, a middle-aged man with round-rimmed glasses reflecting light.

"How did you find it?" Rolf sat across the table and looked at him, Rolf and he were familiar with him, and both participants in a project, except that Rolf was the developer in charge of monitoring the project, and he was the one being watched.

"The characteristics you said." He picked up one of the files and tossed it to Rolf: "There aren't many people in the world who like to wear KFC paper bags on their heads. ”

Can it be found through this ridiculous feature?

Rolf picked up the file in his hand, a criminal file from a prison in Europe, but a felony......

"Luze? How old is he? Rolf looked at the dead boy in the photo with a somewhat dead look in surprise: "Theft, fraud...... Homicide ......"

Rolf whispered something that a sixteen-year-old had done.

"It was an earlier experience for him." The researcher handed Rolf another certificate of entry and exit stamps: "This is a visa for travel to Europe. ”

"Brindisi...", Rolf picked up the visa and read out the name of an Italian coastal city, and then he thought of something: "This time, that day is not ......"

"The first large-scale invasion of the coast of Europe by the deep sea was like the arrival of Nagilfa's ship, when the deep sea destroyed everything, and human cities were reduced to rubble, and his parents died in the catastrophe."

"He survived alone?" Rolf dug out an old envelope in his file bag, which contained several yellowed photographs, several of which were charred, and the envelope was something that was considered a relic, one of which was set against the blue coastline, and a gentle woman in her hand was holding a young man with a mask and smiling at the camera, but Rolf saw the scarlet that suddenly appeared behind the shoreline.

The boy in the camera is smiling so happily, maybe his father is holding the camera and saying, 'I'm done with this, I'll take a picture with you.'"

But the end of this photo is the end, and it is the only view of peace on the eve of destruction, and perhaps at the moment the shutter is pressed, the artillery fire of the deep sea has swept the entire coastline.

The deep sea appeared so suddenly that before humans could react and without warning, the entire city was swept up in artillery fire, mercilessly crushing everything to debris.

"Yes, he lived for four years in the ruins of the deep sea." The tone of the research institute was a little creepy: "I don't know what exactly supported him to live for four years, every day at the risk of being killed, looking for food everywhere, there is no place to sleep, in order to survive he will do almost anything, stealing, robbing, abducting, killing... These are the means by which he survives. ”

Rolf put down the photo in his hand and continued to look through the criminal record, which corresponded to everything the researcher had said, and finally fixed his eyes on the criminal registration photo.

"It's hatred." Rolf whispered, he pointed to the dead and silent young man in the photo, the mask he was holding in his hand was an old clown mask, the clown cracked the corners of his mouth and smiled strangely, the corners of his mouth were cracked even to the base of his ears, and the smile made people feel chills.

"What has always sustained him is hatred, and every time he does something bad, he wears this mask." Rolf flipped through the criminal record above: "It's a hint that he doesn't forget that day, that he remembered the anger and hatred he had lost everything, and these things gave him the courage to do these things." ”

Rolf's finger ran over the list of evidence of the crimes he had committed.

In Rolf's mind, the deep sea was supposed to be a beast driven by instinct, but he was wrong, the deep sea was far more dangerous than he had imagined......

"What about the next record?"

"Didn't find it." The research institute shook his head helplessly.

"No?" Rolf looked at him questioningly, hoping that he wouldn't lie to himself at such times.

The researcher didn't speak, and took out another copy of the record and handed it to Rolf.

When Rolf looked at the contents, he realized that it was a death record.

"He died in the fifth year of the riots, the prison was destroyed by the deep sea, and then he wandered in Italy for a while, and there is no record of what happened during that time, but he died many years ago in the decisive battle between the deep sea and humanity in Italy."

"Do you mean to say that the person I'm looking for is a corpse that has been turned into dry bones in the morgue, or even incinerated?" Rolf stared at the researcher closely, and after seeing that he had no intention of backing down, Rolf could only look at the death log above...

Eventually, Rolf's pupils twitched as he looked at the person in charge of the death process, and then looked back at the researcher.

"He ......"

"Yes, we were the ones who were responsible for disposing of his body in the first place." The researcher pushed his glasses, then knocked on the table and said, "So please stop your indifferent probing, Major Rolf, the decades, if not a hundred years ago, were too chaotic to be your responsibility. ”

A few decades ago... Rolf, who knows history, understands that the war between humans and the deep sea began far earlier than this, and when the deep sea recovered, there were not so many of them, just in a certain sea area, in an unknown corner, but the level that appeared was definitely a monster of the Qi Ji and Qi Ghost level, and the opposite ship girl was also born in this world.

But at that time, there was no ship mother in the human race, and the women who fought against those monsters at the forefront were called Valkyrie, they were independent, only cooperating with humans, and would never obey the command of humans, and even humans didn't know what their names were, only knowing that only by their protection, those monsters could not invade the human world.

It wasn't until the deep sea tore through their defenses and officially invaded the human world that the humans learned their names and gave them the title of ship mother.

There's so much going on in this, and a lot of stuff is hidden in various ways.

"I see." Rolf carried out the characteristics of German obedience to orders, but as he was leaving, he picked up a file bag next to him: "Can I take this thing with me?" ”

"It's not an important thing anyway, so I'll give it to you as a gift." The research institute glanced at the number on the file bag and waved his hand unconcernedly.

Rolf gave a military salute to the researcher, then turned and pushed the door open and left the room.

Z13, who was standing outside bored, wanted to go up to say hello when he saw his chief come out, but looked at the file bag that Rolf was holding.

"Sir, what is this?"

"Proof that someone is still alive." Rolf opened the file bag, which contained not a document, but a charred mask.

When Z13 saw the mask, he took a few steps back in fear.

"Sir, this thing makes me feel so uncomfortable, throw away this ugly mask and buy a new one."

Even though the mask had turned a little yellow and cracked, and even some dark red marks, the strange smile could still be seen...... The feeling that emanates from it makes the Z13 feel very uncomfortable.

Rolf included in his portfolio the mask, which once represented a person's reason to live, even in the midst of ruins, to face the threats of the deep sea every day, and to live at all costs.

Hatred of the deep sea......

But what can humans do if they are so weak, even in front of the lowest level of the deep sea, humans can only be their prey, so all they can do is survive, live at all costs, remember this hatred, and then keep living, there is always a way to become stronger, strong enough to kill all those deep seas.

What sent chills through Rolf's body was that the owner of the mask seemed to have mastered this power.
