The sky was bright, and a golden border appeared on the eastern horizon. Another sunrise is about to take place at sea.

Kiki reclined on the deck of the Little Swan, savoring the cool sea breeze and salty air in the morning, and lazily watching the fiery sunrise. Watching the sunrise on the sea is different every time, and people sometimes choose to go to the top of a high mountain to watch the sunrise. In fact, no matter where you look, the sun you see is the same one, and the reason why you feel different is just your own psychological effect, but some people don't realize this. Maybe people are a species that likes to deceive themselves.

Captain Akang on the side stretched his waist and yawned, an expression that was still not satisfied after a full sleep hung on his half-squinted eyes: "Kiki, my navigation sensor tells me that we have arrived at the place." ”

"Where is this?" Kiki looked around, except for the sea or the sea, there were no seagulls flying in the sky, and it was estimated that it was far away from the land.

"Combine your own magnetic field orientation perception with your memories of places you've been to before." The captain prompted: "You have been to this place before, but that time it was at the bottom of the sea and this time it was at the surface of the sea, and the altitude was different. ”

Kiki closes her eyes and activates the magnetic induction function in her brain, and the clues become clear in her memory. This sea area was really here: "I know, under the bottom of the sea at this location is the entrance sea area of the labyrinth enchantment that enters the imperial city. ”

"Well, it's a little bit closer, below is the outpost of the dolphin old pet master Uli, and only after passing through that did I get to the entrance of the labyrinth enchantment." The captain rubbed his eyes and pouted, "We have to change back into the shape of a fish and dive down to get down to business."

Although the surface of the Little Swan designed by Du Fu looks dilapidated, in fact, when a certain lock handle is pulled, the bottom of the ship will be flooded, the buoyancy will be reduced, and finally the boat will dive to the bottom of the sea. And then the next time it needs to come back to the surface, it's cleverly conceived. As the boat dives, the familiar coral seascape jumps into view, which is the eternal scenery in the mermaid's heart.

"Kiki, enter the labyrinth again this time, and the task of leading the way will be completely left to you. Finding the secret inside may help you complete your second evolution. ”

"What's the secret?" Kiki asked.

"I don't know what it is, the information given by Anemone Thousand Thorns and Du's father is incomplete, and we have to find it to understand what the secret is. Don't reveal the purpose of our trip to anyone until we find it, lest we get into trouble? ”

"Okay." Kiki agreed. A trace of waves surged in her heart, she had been away from her hometown for so long, and her cultivation had not yielded results, would she find a result by breaking through the maze again this time? Will it be a move towards success, or will it be a move towards an unclear future and a larger labyrinth of minds.

The Cygnus swan sank under the pressure of the water pressure and folded in an orderly manner, and soon stirred up a cloud of sand and dust on the seabed and settled. Surrounded by a large school of silver-edged fish that looked like an open carpet, it was the same last time I came. The frightened schools of silver-edged fish have attracted a few dolphins who love to play in the rushing water, and they are the pets of Uji.

The clever dolphin recognizes Kiki and the captain, the mermaid who braved the maze together not long ago. So they swam around the two of them, making a clicking sound in their mouths, and very friendly led the two to the pet owner. When he saw Uji, Uji was overjoyed.

"Oh! It's Akang, I'm so glad to see you. I haven't seen you in a while, how are you doing? Hahaha...... My dear friend. ”

"Uji, I'm glad to see you, your outpost is more beautiful than before, and you're more energetic than before."

"Thank you for your suit, if you hadn't taken me out of the labyrinth to get treatment last time, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you here again today. Thank you so much! ”

"Look at your politeness, we were only lucky to get out of the maze at that time, God didn't dare to accept you, you shouldn't die!" The captain responded: "By the way, Uji, I remembered something I want to ask you, I don't know if you remember?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"I'm wondering, how did you get hurt that time in the labyrinth?"

"This ......" Uji frowned, revealing many wrinkles: "It was so chaotic at the time, it's a shame to think about, I don't know how I got hurt." ”

"Can you recall the process?"

"Okay, remember it was a rush but it was going well. Shortly after escaping their pursuers and entering the maze, my dolphins told me that they were listening to a sonar signal that was anomalously reciprocating. When I sent out my sonar to verify that the dolphin's pet information was correct, I suddenly felt a huge pain in my chest. I thought I was hallucinating because I was too old and tired, because my sonar feedback made me feel like there was a human silhouette in front of me. But the strange thing is that my eyes don't see anything. Am I really old and dizzy? ”

"No, it's important." Captain Akon seems to have found some clues, but there is no evidence yet. "By the way, I'm going to break through the maze with Kiki again this time, how is the maze now?"

"Hmmm! Enter the maze again? Uji was stunned for a moment, and then immediately smiled: "You guys are so lucky, just in time for the maze to do dust removal and maintenance, not only did it close many mechanisms, but also pumped the water in the maze almost dry, and now you have to walk in the form of a human to go in." ”

"Great, I've heard that the maze dries out and fills with air to speed up progress through the maze, which makes it easier to find your way through the maze. Is that right? ”

"That's right, old friend, since you're going to go this way again this time, then I'll give you a ride. I'm sure you walked out of the maze by yourself last time, and you will be able to do it this time. ”

When she passed through the Vortex Barrier again, Kiki felt as if the last time she had passed through the Vortex Barrier was just yesterday, and everything was vivid. The difference is that today's arrival is surprisingly calm, there are no pursuers behind, and the whirlpool has temporarily stopped disappearing. The journey was very smooth, and it was as easy as greeting the owner to enter the entrance of the labyrinth. The passage is still as wide as last time, and the surrounding stone walls are polished smooth and translucent. Due to the evacuation of seawater, there is also a lack of alarm jellyfish that usually patrol.

"Captain Akang, last time you walked through the maze by yourself, you must have understood the route of the maze, and this time the maze has closed most of the mechanisms, I think you can pass through the maze without a guide, right?"

"Well, I mean, you must be busy." The captain pushed the boat down the river: "We can go by ourselves, you can send it here, thank you!" ”

"Then good luck to you, I will open the vortex barrier when I turn around, and I will reopen the labyrinth mechanism tomorrow, and you will be safe to pass through the maze before tomorrow, okay, goodbye, friend!"

"Goodbye!"
