The vast ocean and the deep sea have never been seen before in the world.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"There's still too much ambiguity, so you can't plan the details carefully." In the secret room made entirely of white rocks below the maze of the sea of books, a girl from the Xihai people named Xiaoxi sat at the stone table and looked at the colorful printed sheets spread out, and casually disturbed the nearby water flow. The tiny dots of light drifted erratically in the chaotic current, and the flares of light they cast wandered around at the same time, but it only made her feel worse.

At this time, there were not only those ancient Chinese books and dictionaries on the table in front of her, but also a printed scroll that could be rolled up. At the ends of the scroll are two heavy stone edges, which are flattened when spread out without being rolled up automatically. It is a map from the Quds City Library, summarizing most of the currently publicly available information on the topography of the seabed, and although most of the details are still completely unknown, the outline of Lanxing's rough marine world is still clearly shown on this printed map: the inner ocean, the outer ocean, the celestial ocean, the magnetic vortex sea, the folded sea, and the storm ocean......

As for the area where the land is located, it is completely unknown.

Although he didn't find a small target like Salted Fish Village, after some hard work, Xiaoxi succeeded in finding the location of Mt. Akina, which is a rugged mountain range at the junction of the Liantian Ocean and the Outer Ring Ocean, with endless submarine ridges spreading all the way.

Finally, her gaze rested on a red dot in the center of the world map, which seemed nothing compared to the majestic natural scenes, but there was no doubt that this was the most important place on the entire map to the Shiokai people, that is, the location of the Holy City.

Although more than a month had passed since that incident, her ears seemed to echo in her ears what Xinglan had said about the crisis that had almost destroyed the Holy City...... Farce, this life-and-death crisis was nothing more than a farce for the being who was called a god by the Holy City, and the antimatter bomb that threatened the safety of the Holy City and the frenzied Truth Spreading Society members disappeared without a trace in the silver-white light. No one knows where they went, but it was clear that they would never come back.

Xue Feng and several other members of the Truth Diffusion Society were finally taken away by the law enforcement team, this time it will obviously not be as simple as before, but all this is not over yet, the Truth Diffusion Society still exists, and it will not decay because of the loss of these members, and what Xiaoxi is most concerned about, that is, Yun Yun's specific whereabouts, is still not obtained, because the Truth Diffusion Society is indeed completely unaware of this.

The only way to get the information is clear, and that is to find an unknown being who is secretly trading with the Truth Spreading Society, and it shouldn't be one of the people of Shiohai...... The other party has a certain understanding of the so-called gods, and even though the Holy City has been fully investigating this matter, it still has not been able to grasp the key clues so easily. As for Xinglan, she didn't seem to care that there was any mess behind her back, and after dropping the bomb that was about to detonate into an unknown space, she disappeared in front of everyone again.

Xiaoxi was also anxious to know the clues of the unknown existence, but she also knew that it was useless to be in a hurry, and for more than a month, she had been translating the books in this secret room while completing her normal studies...... After knowing that the author of these books is the legendary god who founded the holy city, it seems that when I read these contents again, I have an inexplicable feeling, and the credibility of these contents is getting higher and higher.

The more she watched, the more curious she became, eager to witness interesting things that were never even mentioned in legends, and at this moment, the holy city that used to be bustling with people began to thin out...... The reason is also simple, because a three-month-long holiday with free activities is coming.

It is not without spring, summer, autumn and winter in the ocean, but as we all know, water is a liquid with a large specific heat capacity and is able to maintain a stable temperature state to a large extent, so coupled with the fact that it is rarely affected by outside sunlight, the seasonal changes in the deep ocean are not very noticeable, at least for the Shiokai people. In this case, the Holy City naturally does not divide the summer and winter vacations, in addition to the usual regular rest days, the real long vacation is only once a year, this is a three-month vacation, and the education method of the Holy City is actually closer to free education, and does not restrict the activities of students, and even children who have just come here for a year can arrange their own vacation plans. Probably because most of the villages outside are still in an ancient way of life, even the children are very mature and basically know what they are doing, and after thinking about it for a while, Xiaoxi finally made up her holiday arrangements.

She doesn't plan to return to Salted Fish Village, but to spend the next three months as a traveler to the far reaches of the ocean in search of the truth about those mysteries.

After hundreds of years of development, the price of small man-made empty boats is no longer a grade compared to that year. The people of Xihai near the Holy City all use a virtual currency encrypted by an electronic system, and this special card does not know how to connect, in short, they do not require any special equipment or network to use, even if it is only two cards, it can be very convenient to complete the transfer operation, in this case, some villages far away from the Holy City will have several virtual currency cards for collective use for transactions. Naturally, the Holy City does not provide every student with enough money to buy a small man-made empty boat, but they can still accumulate personal funds through some extracurricular part-time jobs. Xiaoxi has a part-time job at a fabric shop in the Holy City, and although the people of Xihai don't need clothes, they still need to make things like wraps, ornaments, and nets out of cloth, and Xiaoxi is very good at weaving these things from materials such as sea tree silk thread.

Hydro-looms that use some steady water movement routes to provide power have long been popular, but many places are still not solved by these machines, and the ingenious children are also very popular with customers...... Well, there is no rule among the people of Shiohai that child labor cannot be employed.

She had investigated the current situation of the small man-made empty boat, and with the funds she had in reserve, she should have enough money to buy the smallest model, and even this small man-made empty boat would be enough to overcome terrain obstacles that could not be climbed under normal conditions, and could move in the sea at several times the speed of normal walking. Of course, three months won't allow her to fully travel the world, so it's also important to plan specific routes to make the most of that time.

"Xiaoxi, the dry food is coming to you, and ...... It is forbidden to draw traces on borrowed public maps. Miss Baixi's voice sounded behind her without warning, and the girl in deep thought was so frightened that she almost slashed the carving knife in her hand, but she soon realized that she had almost unconsciously carved a route map on the map...... If you do that, you'll have to pay for the price of the entire map.

She smiled apologetically at the dots of light moving in the sea, in fact she was curious about the structure of the miniature machine that Miss Bai Yu was using, but it seemed to be one of the confidential information that the Holy City could not make public, like the enigmatic maze of books above. The mechanism at the entrance slowly moved away, and the figure who walked in here was dry food, he had indeed helped Xiaoxi a lot in the past month or so, and these ancient Chinese books also made him very interested.

Dry Food's parents are permanent residents in the Holy City, so Xiaoxi thinks that he may know some of the secret secrets of the Holy City, but he has not received any information from him yet.

However, when they saw each other clearly, they all laughed in unison, and Xiaoxi saw that Dry Food was holding a slender folding object in her hand, which she was no stranger to, because she had also walked in with this before, which was the world map in the Holy City Library.

"Looks like we're thinking of going together?" The dry food looked at the world map spread out on Xiaoxi's table and laughed funny, "So how about the joint venture?" You can also prepare some spare parts without expanding the size, and at the same time strengthen the safety of the shell. ”

"You still know how to repair man-made empty boats?" Xiao Xi nodded and acquiesced to his proposal, with a hint of teasing, having a familiar companion with you can greatly improve security, not to mention that dry food will always have some strange knowledge that ordinary people don't expect...... According to him, it was because his parents thought that it was always useful to have more knowledge, so they enrolled him in a lot of bizarre cram schools since he was a child, "Do you need me to pay you a regular salary?" Dear Empty Boat Repair Technician. ”

"Forget it, or you won't be able to afford the trip." Dry Food walked to the table, put the things he had brought on the table, and gently swiped the back of the carving knife on the world map spread out by Xiaoxi, "It looks like you need help planning your route." ”

"Come along, it looks like it's going to be a great trip."

……

Emptiness, despair, endless wailing......

She smelled the smell of the sea again, it was the smell of blood, but the smell was no longer as pungent as before, and her body began to get used to it unconsciously, and it made her feel more and more strange. Everything you see around you, the whole world, even if you are becoming more and more unfamiliar.

It's obviously a dark world, a world where you can't see anything, but it seems to be something more...... It was a color that had never been seen before, or even unimaginable. They permeate every inch of space, everywhere, like that cold breath spreading everywhere, eroding into every corner of the body.

She tried hard for a long time, but she only opened her mouth slightly, and the water full of strange aura poured into her mouth, becoming a carrier that could carry sound waves...... But the once familiar vocal cords did not respond to her command again, and she could only slowly open and close her mouth without any sound.

Dawn...... Xi...... Yes...... You...... At...... Which...... Village...... This......

Her eyes were closed again, as if she couldn't wait to escape the world that was becoming stranger to her.
