"Before you lead your lover out of hell, don't look back, or she will fall into the deep sea again and never return, and you will be cursed to never return......"

"When poor Orps heard his lover calling behind him, forgetting the North Sea troll Kraken's advice, he turned around."

"Bang!" Emily made an explosive onomatopoeia. "Orps's lover screamed, and the amazing claws of the submarine monster Kraken slapped at her from the bottomless seabed, and her body instantly turned into countless bubbles, and everything was shattered."

When Emily told everyone the story of Orps's lover a moment ago, the red-haired Arya listened through the communicator, intentionally or unintentionally. When Emily used "The_end. (finished)" As the end of the story, the red-haired Arya silently muttered in her heart:

“The_story_of_Orphis’s_lover_was_finished,indeed,but_the_legend_of_Orphis_still_not_end.

(The story of "The Lover of Orps" is indeed over, but the myth of Orps is not over.) )”

———————

Hong Yuesheng felt dry mouth and dizziness, as if he was in a steamer, and the rapid operation of the mechanical heart made the left ventricle seem to be buried in a hot iron core, and its heat flowed gold stones. The instrument panel in front of him already showed that the temperature of the Exosuit's shell had exceeded 100 degrees Celsius (the boiling point of the water rose under high underwater pressure), and the water that slipped through the armor was bubbling with boiling.

As more members of the manta ray squad joined, including the red-haired Arya, the king squid was pushed to the surface of the sea faster and faster, but this legendary North Sea monster was by no means an idle thing, its ten huge tentacles shook violently, and there were constantly team members who were caught by the tentacles and thrown far away, or were shot away before they could get closer, and it was inevitable that there were team members who were fatally hit, whimpering and struggling in the floating bubbles and sinking forever to the cold seabed. From the beginning of the manta ray team to the present, the team of thirty people has lost nearly half.

"Wow!" Another member of the team retreated from the group in excruciating pain due to the increasing rate of ascent causing the nitrogen in his body to expand beyond the supersaturation limit, even though he was protected by the Exosuit's automatic underwater pressure adjustment system.

"Arya!" Hong Yuesheng called through the communicator: "Let everyone leave!" The last paragraph is enough with me! ”

The red-haired Arya was also leaning sideways on top of the king squid, gritting her teeth to resist the sharp pain caused by the rapid rise. Hearing Hong Yuesheng's call, she looked at the team members around her, and through the diving masks, she could find that many of them had begun to choke, and if they continued, they might even lose their minds.

She nodded to Hong Yuesheng,

“MantaRay_team,mission_completed. Withdraw!

(Manta Squad, mission accomplished.) Fall back! )”

Receiving the order, and the fact that most of them themselves could no longer hold on, the team began to gradually move away from the rising hot star. As it descended, the pale columns of water from the thrusters behind it made graceful arcs, and in the distance it looked like a huge jellyfish dragging many long white tentacles.

Before the red-haired Alya left, she looked at Hong Yuesheng again. "From the moment I first met you, I wanted to ask, why did you do this?"

Hong Yuesheng: "......"

The red-haired Arya closed her eyes, endured the pain in her body, and smiled slightly: "It's not too late to answer me when you come back." ”

With that, she adjusted her jetpack and followed the rest of the team down.

Hong Yuesheng turned his head to the green snake beside him, and the white tiger shouted, "You two! Take them away! ”

At this time, Emily and Bonnie have fallen into a semi-comatose state.

......The green snake gritted its teeth, and because the expanded nitrogen gas did not have time to be discharged with the breath, it dissolved in the body, and the green snake felt like thousands of ants crawling under the skin, itching abnormally. On the other hand, patches like marble epidermis have appeared on the skin of the white tiger's face.

"Since you call me the second master, do as I say!" Hong Yuesheng roared. "As soon as you leave, I'll leave!"

Green Snake stopped arguing and gestured to the White Tiger, and the two grabbed Emily and Bonnie and began to push down the camp.

Among the remaining people, only Hong Yuesheng and the muscular tank girl were the main force, although there were many people who had assisted before, but these two were the main force among them.

"Humph! I'm not your little minion, trying to command me. The tank girl didn't wait for Hong Yuesheng to speak, and spoke first: "The warriors of Meda Busoya will not lose to Yaning's little brat!" "She was born into a military family in Meda Busoya, received a strict militarized education from an early age, and had a quiet but competitive heart. In her opinion, it is a shame to die on the battlefield without a fight, only cowards will retreat, and bravery is the eternal responsibility of soldiers.

The green snake and Bonnie had successfully escaped from the king squid, but the white tiger retreated a little slower with Emily in his arms, and was violently entangled by one of the tentacles of the king squid who was desperately struggling!

The tentacles immediately tightened, and the white tiger hurriedly used his thick body to hold Emily in his arms, and the sawtooth fell deep into the white tiger's Exosuit shell, and the wound flashed electric light due to a short circuit in the circuit, and the white tiger used all his strength to fight, and the Exosuit armor at the edges of the entanglement had begun to deform and rapidly shrink inward.

"I can't command you!" Hong Yuesheng shouted to the tank girl: "But help your partner!" ”

When the tank girl saw the king squid, she was about to strangle the white tiger and Emily in his arms. So he was no longer stubborn, adjusted the jetpack behind his back and slid towards the squid, grabbed the tentacles coiled around the white tiger's body, and pulled it out desperately with all his strength, and it really pulled away a few points, but it was not enough to save the two.

Seeing this situation, Hong Yuesheng gritted her teeth and changed her previous plan, not only did she not prepare to retreat, but instead pressed the nitrogen acceleration button on the handle of her right hand.

According to Lisa, the manta ray's artificial intelligence, what she told Hong Yuesheng before she stopped working, the nitrogen acceleration system (NITROUS_OXIDE_SYSTEM_NOS_NITROUS_OXIDE_SYSTEM_NOS) equipped with the deep-sea diving suit is a way to increase the explosive power after nitrous oxide is poured into the engine, which can only be used in case of emergency, and can only be used for horizontal spraying. This is because it quickly depletes all of the Exosuit's energy and usually cannot be used for more than a minute, which could lead to a burst of the propulsion system. The enormous acceleration it generates can cause unimaginable damage to the driver if it is used to ascend.

Even so, Hong Yuesheng pressed it without hesitation, the throttle valve in the propulsion device behind the body was fully opened, nitrous oxide was sprayed into the combustion chamber through the throttle, and the engine instantly increased horsepower, driving the impeller to rotate at high speed to suck in seawater at a higher power speed, and then the high pressure forced the water body to enter the jet channel, and sprayed out of the water spray pipe at high speed. Hong Yuesheng pushed the king squid and rushed upwards at a speed that was more than three times as fast as before.

The king squid was already overwhelmed by the scorching heat of the boiling water, and he had to let go of White Tiger and Emily, and the tank girl quickly grabbed the two, and the strong shock wave that accelerated their rise pushed them downstream. By the time the tank girl wanted to catch up with Hong Yuesheng again, it was too late.

"Two masters!! Get out of here! ”

The king squid concentrated all the remaining strength to retract its tentacles and wrap Hong Yuesheng's body under his abdomen, its ten tentacle suckers clinging to Hong Yuesheng's body, pulling the Exosuit shell out piece by piece, trying to pull this enemy who was more difficult than the sperm whale down.

"......" The red-haired Arya looked at the situation above, and already understood in her heart that Hong Yuesheng had no way out.

Hong Yuesheng gasped, and the burning heat around his body made his consciousness blur.

"Why did you do that?" The red-haired Arya's question rang in his ears.

"What the hell am I doing?"

No one had ever asked him this question before, running had been his only way of survival for as long as he could remember—a passive way of life—he was born in a poor place, and he had no choice in the past.

But in just a few days, after so much had happened, he was thinking about it for the first time in his life when he was desperately fighting now.

"In this cold seabed, gambling with your life is to live to avenge the dead spirit son, Phoenix Butterfly? To fulfill the promise to Zhongjiu? Or for yourself? ”

The king squid's shrill howl pulled him back to reality, and there was no time to think about it.

Now it's time to keep running, keep running, not stopping, focus on it. For the rest, it makes sense to wait until you survive to think about it!

"Woo-a-a Hong Yuesheng regained his full attention and roared to push the thruster.

“What’s_that?

(What's that?) One of the manta rays pointed above the water, their mouths closed in surprise.

The red-haired Arya also saw at the same time, from the position of Hong Yuesheng and the king squid, a rainbow-like magical light belt burst out, like smoke and fog, swaying and fluttering, like flowing clouds, and the volume and brightness increased dramatically, in the dark and vast sea, like a gorgeous and colorful light on the sky, reflecting the entire sea area, and all the manta ray team members were bathed in this light.

The red-haired Arya raised her hand to rub her eyes, but forgot that her huge diving helmet was keeping her hand out of the mask. She looked at the others again, and saw that everyone was dumbfounded and looked up at the sky, only to realize that it was not her own dazzle.

Hong Yuesheng had gained a clear advantage surrounded by rainbows, but the nitrogen accelerator system on her back suddenly flashed back and lost all power—just as Lisa had warned before, the nitrogen acceleration had been used for more than a minute.

The king squid, which had been given another chance, writhed hysterically in the light, and the creature instinct knew that its fate was short, and it gave up the power reserved for its last escape, and used all its strength to suppress the slowed human luminescence in its abdomen.

Hong Yuesheng's Exosuit was finally shattered, and with it, his mask shattered, and the icy sea water poured in.

"Hong Yuesheng !!" Emily, who had just regained consciousness, looked at Hong Yuesheng in the dismemberment of the deep-sea diving armor through the mask, and whimpered and shouted.

“Emily，It’s_too_late. (Emily, it's too late.) )”

Red-haired Arya shook her head.

"He's_gone (He's gone)!"

"No, he's_not! He didn't! ）

“His_Exosuit_has_already_been_crashed,maybe_the_mechanical_heart_can_support_him_live_longer_for_a_few_minutes,but_no_more.”

(His Exosuit splits, and his mechanical heart allows him to survive a few more minutes in the water, but it can't save him.) ）”

"Hell!"

The White Tiger, the Green Snake and Bonnie also looked at Hong Yuesheng floating above in the rainbow light belt, with a look of despair.

The tank girl plans to drive the jetpack to Hong Yuesheng, but is stopped by the red-haired Arya:

“Stop_there! Our_mission_is_tobring_ZhongJiu_back! Besides… we’re_all_gonna_end_up_like_him_if_not_leave_right_away!

(Stop!) Our supreme order is to take Nakaku back, not to mention...... If we don't leave, we will soon face the same situation. )”

The tank girl frowned and gritted her teeth, but obeyed the order.

The Manta Ray team members followed the order and activated the Exosuit to turn in a safe direction.

“Captain! There’s_new_biological_signals!

(Captain!) New creature information has appeared! )”

"What_the_Fxxk (the ...... of this TM)" Even the usually calm red-haired Arya finally couldn't help but curse loudly. Isn't bad luck enough along the way?! How can new creatures appear???!

She looked down at her radar, a tiny red signal rapidly descending from above the water, but it came from a familiar message.

"How_could_be (turned out to be ......)" Red-haired Arya was mixed with joy.

A red ray of light swooped down from above the water, piercing through the turbid waves and brilliant rainbows in the turbulent water, and crashing straight into the head of the king squid.

“The_legend_of_Orphis_still_not_end….

(The myth of Orps is not over yet......)" The red-haired Arya muttered to herself.

In the ancient mythology of Medabsoya, after the death of the most heroic warriors for whatever reason, a female warrior from the heavenly realm wearing a silver helmet and a blood-red tight-fitting battle robe would fly to them, give them a kiss of death, and lead them to the divine realm. The rainbow is also sometimes thought to be the shining light of the armor of a female warrior driving a horse through the night sky.

At the end of that red glow was a blood-red special Exosuit, which was not only larger than an ordinary deep-sea diving suit, it was a combination of an Exosuit and a land mecha, that is, one of the prototypes of the amphibious mechanical heart mecha newly developed by Meda Busuya. Although tall, it has a curvilinear body with a feminine femininity, and the shoulder armor is in the shape of a short wavy cape that turns to the back, and only the front of the two hands is a newly replaced underwater exploration drill bit. The reason for using red is also because red is the first to disappear under the seabed, so red becomes a protective color. But today is an exception, where the blood-red glow shines brightly in the light of the rainbow that erupts underwater.

On the feet of the blood-red mecha, the two-handed drill bits stretched out in front of it began to rotate rapidly, and at the same time, the mecha itself also rotated, forming a graceful spiral arc, directly piercing the top of the king squid's head.

The squid roared, blood pouring out of its head, and the blood-red mecha itself was like a huge horsepower electric drill, plunging straight into the squid's body, piercing a bloody hole alive. The squid's blood quickly stained the waters red, mixing with the mech, and in the distance, it looked like a large dark red cloud, and it was completely unclear what was going on inside.

“Lady_Brynhild！ (Miss Brunhilde!) Red-haired Arya shouted through the communicator!

Visibility in the polluted waters was close to zero, and the pilot inside the red mech couldn't see the surroundings clearly, but a dissipating telepathy allowed her to accurately grasp the location of the man below the king squid.

“This_feeling…

(This feeling ......)"

The voice of the red mech pilot came from the communicator:

“It_must_be_ZhongJiu! (It's Nakajiu!) )”

“He’s_not_ZhongJiu! (That's not Nakaku!) )”

The red-haired Arya hurriedly explained through the intercom that she didn't understand why the red mecha pilot thought so, and Arya couldn't feel this kind of telepathy like a conjoined baby.

But the sound of grinding meat brought by the red mecha turning and cutting the king squid masked Alya's warning, and after just penetrating the squid, the red mecha stopped spinning in time at the moment when it almost stabbed Hong Yuesheng, and the driver removed the drill equipment in his hand, and popped out of his forearm to hold Hong Yuesheng with both hands.

Hong Yuesheng had been exposed to the icy sea water for too long, her face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice, and her breathing had stopped. In his last dim consciousness, he could vaguely feel a familiar warmth approaching, the same feeling he had felt on the day of the Confederate Day riots.

Even when they were close, the mech pilot couldn't see each other clearly in the blood-red sea, but the rapidly debilitating telepathy made her understand that the life was dying.

“ZhongJiu!! (Nakahisa!!) The misunderstood mecha pilot hugged Hong Yuesheng and shook him, but Hong Yuesheng didn't react at all.

Without hesitation, the mecha pilot turned on his head mask. The water blew the driver's bun in the mask, and the long hair poured out like a small waterfall, undulating in waves. With breath in her mouth, she brought her face closer to Hong Yuesheng, and pressed her soft and delicate lips against his mouth. After sucking, he continued to spit the gas in his mouth into Hong Yuesheng's mouth. The squid's body that was split in half was falling down, and the arc-shaped waves of qi rolled up by the tentacles that were still writhing physiologically, surrounding the two people who were hugging each other in the middle, creating a brief moment for this blood-red kiss.

Hearing Hong Yuesheng's heartbeat again, the red mecha pilot closed his diving mask, activated the mecha power plant, and drove towards the water, the armored head searchlight reflected a dazzling pillar of light, pointing out the direction to the sea in the blood mist.

“Yeah!!!”

Amid the cheers of the Manta Ray crew, the red-haired Arya made a gesture, and the group followed her in the direction of the red mech.

With the ascent, Hong Yuesheng gradually regained his senses, he opened his eyes, and saw that he was getting closer and closer to the surface of the water, and the morning light shot from the open sea under the water, revealing a crimson luster, and the nearby water reflected himself with a bloody face and the red mecha pilot in the mask, and when the reflection coincided with his real self, the shadow shattered into a halo of water one ring after another.

The moment he burst out of the water, he coughed violently, spat out the salty sea water from his mouth, and finally breathed again.

And the red mecha pilot, who had been concentrating on his back to guide everyone to the top, only then did he raise his hand to open the mask and look down at what he mistakenly thought was "Zhongjiu".

The golden hair, wet with the sea, fell again and fell on her shoulders and cheeks, like a pale twilight against the background of the crimson sky. She brushed away the wet strands of hair that had fallen in front of her forehead, revealing a pair of emerald eyes under the brow-length curtain, bright and clear, but as cold as the moon shining on a cold river, set in the cold and well-defined Western face, which looked about fifteen or six years old. Deep sunken eye sockets, eyetips raised to the sideburns, long and dense golden eyelashes, thick straight eyebrows, high nose bridge, rosy lips on snow-white jade-like skin, beautiful, proud, heroic.

When Hong Yuesheng met her eyes, and when she saw a thin Yaning face in front of her, surprise, humiliation, and anger instantly jumped over her face.

““Who_are_you?！ (Who are you?!) ）”
