Kiki returned to the Imperial City safely without thinking about Lingji, Aaron and the captain and they celebrated. She hurriedly broke into the palace of the Empress of the Imperial City, and with unconcealable sadness in her words, she confided in the Empress how much she wanted an answer.

After being silent for a long time, the empress sitting on the throne slowly stepped down from the stage and helped Kiki who was kneeling on the ground. Together on a balcony on the side of the main hall, facing the great city, the Empress looked up:

"Kiki, look up, what's up in the city?"

"It's the huge dome that protects the city."

"That's right, it's the dome. It protects the city, but you know what? What else is needed to protect the city besides domes? I don't think there's much I can make you understand right now. But I believe you can understand that if someone does something that endangers the security of the country and the people, as well as the security of the city, we need to stop him. For this reason, we need to have corresponding laws and regulations to restrain unruly people.

The forbidden land contains the holy relics of this country, and falling into the wrong hands will only lead to war. It is the process of involving more people in the vortex of disaster, and the awakening of your memories leads to your curiosity about the sacred relics and the covetousness of the bad guys for the sacred relics. So the patriarch had plans to kill you, provided that the relics of the country were lost because of you. The ending is also the loss of the holy relic because of you, do you understand? Although you didn't mean to......"

Kiki seems to have a clue that perhaps Akentero is the biggest liar. In great chagrin she regretted that because of her recklessness, the majestic city-state had been approached by danger.

"But why do I have such a secret in my mind? What are the patriarchs hiding from me? Your Majesty, could you please tell me? ”

"There are some things that are too technically profound, and you won't understand until you're ripe." The empress bowed her head slightly: "If you do it wrong, the consequences will be serious." It's like a sleepwalking person who wakes him up halfway, and some of them are okay and some of them are scared to death. Therefore, whoever wants to understand himself should participate in the study and cultivation by himself, discover his own mind, and temper his will. There are only so many things that others can do for you, and there are no shortcuts. ”

Kiki listened to the empress's admonition and had a vague feeling that there were still some secrets to be found by herself. It's just that the opportunity has not yet arrived, and there is no way to find it. Maybe it is really as the empress said, the person who is awakened by sleepwalking will have unpredictable consequences. But that's not all there is to it, what the empress didn't explain is that if she makes a mistake, she should take responsibility for it.

On the way out of the Empress's Palace, at night when she had entered the Imperial City, Kiki slowly walked back to her residence. Perhaps out of guilt, she always felt that passers-by walking on the street were casting strange glances at her, and their words seemed to blame her for being a broom star who brought disaster and bad luck. She couldn't raise her head and was about to speed up her steps and walk back, but she saw the tense scene of a wave of soldiers and guards patrolling the high wall in front of her running to change guards. The soldier's eyes gleamed in the night, making Kiki afraid to look at them squarely, afraid that their gaze would turn on her, making her feel cold and angry.

In the small canals with streetscapes on the side of the road, the light emitted by familiar small luminous fish, shrimp and other small creatures is faintly shining at this time, flickering and disappearing. I can't feel the fluttering and fluttering of the land fireflies in the past, but it seems to add a touch of inexplicable weirdness and unease. so that she had no intention of looking into the canal again.

Kiki is like a child who has done something wrong outside, just thinking about running home and hiding as soon as possible. She thought of Kenken's godmother, and of the corner where she and the mischievous Lingji used to hide in Wucun, and as long as they hid there, the few little ones who were annoyed by Lingji would not be able to find them.

It's just that at this time, the inner torment makes Kiki very uncomfortable. It seemed that the starstones embedded in the city's dome were all staring at her like eyes, leaving her with nowhere to hide.

It's like finally returning to the post house where she lives after a relatively long "long journey". She wanted to meet Coach Hua Qiuzi, and outside the door open by the coach, she saw that Aaron took off his coat and asked the coach for stick skills very seriously, and it seemed inconvenient to disturb. So she went to Lingji's room again, but she didn't think that Lingji's room was more lively. Looking through the closed window, Lingji's biological father Lingfeng and the jellyfish demon family of three were reunited. They smiled lightly and were very happy, completely immersed in the warmth of happiness. It's really hard to disturb them.

Eventually, Kiki returned to her room, but was unable to sleep. She kept asking herself, what should I do next? Can you hide the mistakes you make as if you were not your own business? The mystery in the dream has not been satisfactorily answered, can you give up on it? No...... No......

The bright lights can't dispel the silence that envelops the streets,

Self-blame is like a torrential rain in my heart, sprinkled all over the corners of the original silence.

Wet the memory, like a page whose handwriting has been blurred by water.

I don't know how the story happened, and I don't know how the story ends.

Who will be on the lonely streets, in the place where the heart is rained,

Hold up an umbrella for me, let me feel a touch of warmth,

Let me pick up a little hope.

In the end, I found that I only had my own shadow around me.

Another morning was coming, and Kiki hadn't slept all night. Soaked in melancholy all night, after careful consideration, she decided to leave the Taiping Imperial City alone and go out to find Dubin. Let Dubin help recover the national treasure, and if Dubin can't help, she will also recover the national treasure herself.

Her abilities are mediocre and she has not completed the second evolution. But that can't be a reason to avoid responsibility after making a mistake, no matter how difficult and dangerous it is, you should be brave enough to face it and work hard.

After a brief tidying up, Kiki left a letter to Coach Hua, thanking the coach for his help in her practice. While everyone was still asleep, they quietly left the post house and hurried towards the gate of the imperial city. Maybe today's decision has been arranged in the dark, but the road ahead is vast, and I don't know when I can reunite with my partners and come back after fulfilling my wish.

Kiki didn't have time to look back at this beautiful city, and she was always a passer-by in this bustling little underwater world. Maybe not many people here remember that she was here, but she did, and that was enough.

Passing through the crowd of hurried passers-by, also at the end of this road. Kiki arrived at the east gate of the Imperial City, and she stopped to take a deep breath to relive the world that had once made her nostalgic. Soon, she will return to the undercurrent of adventurers.

But a new problem came, in front of Kiki, some mermaid citizens who also had to go out of the city through the gate showed their passes in front of the guards guarding the city gate, and they couldn't go out of the city without a pass. This is something that Kiki is not prepared for, and it makes her difficult for a while, is it going to be in vain?

When he was anxious, a familiar voice came from behind him:

"Just leave us and go? It's not enough buddy! ”

Kiki looked back and couldn't help but have a sour nose. It turned out that behind him were the jellyfish Lingji, Aaron and Captain Akang who followed all the way. Lingji stepped forward and reached out to grab Kiki.

"Kiki, I can't blame you for losing that national treasure, I have a greater responsibility, how can I let you act alone?" Captain Akon said, "If I hadn't been careless, things wouldn't have been like this. ”

"Kiki, I can't usually do anything big, and it's my duty to help my companions if they need help." Aaron said with a smile.

Kiki was genuinely touched by the fact that she was lucky to have companions to help her along the way. No matter how far the journey is, it is no longer far. I just didn't know what to say for a while: "Thank you, I'm really touched to have you with me." ”

"Is this missing?" The captain pulled out a scale-shaped badge: "This is the pass." Before, the entry and exit were not so strict, but now the city is under martial law, so you have to use a pass. ”

With the pass, Captain Akon left the Imperial City with Kiki, Lingji and Aaron and set off towards the deep sea.

An undercurrent surged outside the Taiping Imperial City, and some greater danger seemed to be coming.
