The golden light stayed in the air, and below was an ocean.

He watched the giant sea monster sink to the bottom of the sea, and after being attacked by the defenders' forces, it was seriously injured even if it did not die, and the recovery time would take years, and it might not be completely recovered in a hundred years.

Compared with those sea monsters that climbed ashore, Zhou Jinru vaguely felt that this guy was not small, and he could even talk to himself, wouldn't he be the outer god of the deep sea, right?

He can't manage that much, the accumulated defender energy is running out, and he must hurry back to land.

With both feet on the solid ground, the state was lifted, and a sense of detachment came up, and Zhou Jinru suddenly lost his balance and half-knelt on the ground.

I didn't expect that after so long, I still haven't fully recovered.

In Kelsey's words, the bucket had broken a few holes, tinkered with it, and it no longer leaked, but now it was leaking in a few more places.

……

"This is the sea heir, the living sea heir, which is very different from what we caught before, and it is also an important reason for the serious losses of the fleet."

Several Agor researchers stared at the monster in the special cage, their eyes lit up.

"Originally, we were supposed to be unable to catch it, but an accident happened."

The researcher in charge of the presentation pushes the eye resting on the bridge of the nose.

Someone asked, "What happened?" ”

"I don't know, but we have compared the previous language catalogues of the Haisi and come to an astonishing conclusion, you may not believe it, but it is the truth, the Haisi said that they are very important gods, and they have been hit hard, and they were made by a human being."

"A human?"

"How is that possible?!"

"Perhaps, this is our chance, with this special sea heir, we can start the Deep Sea Hunter program......"

……

"It's boring."

At the coastal lighthouse in Salt Wind City, there sat a little girl who was only six or seven years old, holding her head with her hands, looking at the sea level from time to time.

Her master said that as soon as the sea water rises to the steps, hurry up to the lighthouse.

The sea did rise a little just now, but it quickly retreated and never rose again.

The gray sky also gradually brightened, and gradually, the light emitted by the lighthouse was not as bright as the natural light.

The little girl yawned, glanced at it with a twist, and suddenly noticed that two people were walking in the distance, and one of them turned out to be her master!

"What is Master doing?"

I saw that the woman who looked more stern was holding a strange man, and the other party was still wearing a mask on his face.

"Master!"

The little girl shouted, but her voice was blown away by the sea breeze.

Not far away, the man glanced up and said in a low voice, "That's your apprentice?" ”

"Not really, just a homeless little girl I picked up from Rock Bay, where there is a lighthouse, but there are no caretakers for a long time."

"There are a lot of homeless children in this land."

"Are you here to lift the bar?"

Zhou Jinru smiled bitterly: "No, thank you, otherwise I really don't know how to walk back." ”

The woman didn't say anything until she approached the lighthouse, and she whispered, "Was that you?" ”

"Which do you say?"

"Defender, why haven't I felt your Defender energy fluctuations, and the agreement hasn't taken effect?"

Zhou Jinru was stunned, and a strange thought popped up in his mind, he didn't expect the unknown woman guarding the lighthouse to be a defender?!

He tried his best to injure the outer gods, but he didn't feel the defender energy, could it be because of the high serial number?

Seeing that Zhou Jinru refused to speak out, the woman didn't ask, she just said: "Your identity is exposed, don't talk about the court, even the Agore people will come to the door." ”

"I'll be out of here soon."

"How fast?"

Zhou Jinru looked at the woman: "You really want me to leave quickly?" ”

"If you don't leave, I may be exposed."

"I'll go, it's only for the past day or two, I've been in Salt Wind City for too long, it's time to go out and take a look."

The little girl looked at the two of them with a blank eye, unable to understand what to say.

Zhou Jinru leaned against the wall and tried to stand up straight: "Why do we defenders hide our identities?" ”

"Because of this deep sea. We are too strong, people are afraid of our power, but whenever the deep sea gives them a little benefit, some people will turn to the embrace of the deep sea, in the words of Zhang Taiyue, to prevent the deep sea from playing the defender card, it's that simple. ”

"How did he do it?"

"Just make people afraid of the concept of defenders, and if they are afraid of us, of course they will also be afraid of the deep sea, and as for how to do it, I won't tell you until you tell me your serial number."

Zhou Jinru was silent for a few seconds, and finally asked, "What's your serial number?" ”

"Number 021."

Number 021 can confess, but he can't.

The woman was a little disappointed.

"Well, goodbye, 021."

"Goodbye."

Zhou Jinru left alone.

He returned to his rented apartment, poured himself a glass of water, then took out a suitcase from under the bed that he hadn't used in years, and began to pack his things.

In fact, there was nothing to take with them, a few changes of clothes, some personal items, and finally the money saved.

Standing in front of the mirror, he reached out and slowly unfastened the buckle of his mask, his face ached, and a drop of blood flowed out of the gap and dripped into the pool.

Difficulty to take off the mask, the face that appeared in the mirror, ugly, ugly, disgusting.

This is the price of forcibly using the energy of the defenders.

Zhou Jinru opened his mouth and said nothing.

He doesn't regret it, he just feels dazed.

The mask at hand was already a little worn, and I don't know how Talat has been doing in the past few years.

After skillfully completing the cleaning work and putting the mask back on, Zhou Jinru sat at his desk, wrote a letter of resignation, and sent it to the big library by the messenger at the door.

If you can't resign in person, you may bump into someone looking for you, and the curator will definitely keep you, after all, sudden resignation is not a normal resignation process.

But he had to go.

Zhou Jinru carried a suitcase, stepped on the starlight, and left alone, leaving the city where he had lived for six years.

At night, Salt Wind City is still bustling with ethnic instruments, tired people raising their glasses and singing, accompanied by the salty sea breeze, spreading enthusiasm to everyone.

The young girl took her companion's arm and danced happily, and the plaid skirt fluttered softly, like a blooming flower,

"Sir, would you like a drink, the first one is free!"

The enthusiastic girl grabbed Zhou Jinru's arm and invited him for a drink.

"No, I don't drink, thank you."

"Alright then, I wish you the sooner you live today!"

The girl didn't care, and turned to look for the next guest.

Zhou Jinru left the crowd, his shoulders draped in the hustle and bustle, and walked into the deep night.
