The storm was bitter, and the hard steel of the outer bulkhead of the moving city of the city was as fragile as catkins in the wind, blowing apart and splitting under the storm of violent source stone energy that swept away, splitting and cracking into tiny pieces.

Through the layers of air mixed with the furious source stone energy, he could only faintly see Han Baiyi's vague figure standing in the center of the technique.

Although it seemed easy to talk to The Shining before, just forty or fifty meters in front of Mr. Bai, Scati was completely suppressed under this violent tsunami-like storm of source stone energy, and he didn't even have the strength to take another step.

Even standing alone is extremely difficult.

If you were an ordinary person, I am afraid that you would have been torn into pieces of flesh and blood by this terrifying storm a long time ago.

At this time, I saw Scati holding a big sword, and the tip of the big sword of equal length pierced the ground more than half a meter.

But even so, her body was constantly pushed backwards by the shockwave, and the tip of the sword piercing into the ground tore a long scratch on the outer wall of the city, and the supple silver hair was almost pulled in a straight line.

The wind whistling in his ears was mixed with a heartbeat like the sound of a drum, and the muscles and muscles of the arm holding the hilt of the sword bulged at the same time.

The red eyes were full of desperate stubbornness.

From a long time ago, Scati knew that

She is a different kind of person.

In the lab where she began living as a child, she was always different.

The source stone skills that others can easily master, she can't grasp after seeing hundreds or thousands of times, and the theoretical knowledge of spells that she can understand immediately, she has studied and pondered more than a dozen times, and she can only grasp the appearance.

Even if 'they' later told them that it was because she was the perfect product of the debugging herself, and that she was the best warrior to fight against the Calamity from the depths, they didn't dismantle the strange feeling she had buried deeply.

She's different.

She is a strong person.

The strong are born high, and they must enjoy the loneliness of the high place.

At the same time, she is also a monster.

A monster that will bring bad luck and misfortune to others.

All those who are around her will be cursed in relation to her.

That's what 'they' told them.

Scati was not convinced at first.

Who would believe a bunch of baseless rumors at the beginning of life's best days?

Until, she fought with those [calamities] in the deep sea again and again, was in danger under the sea again and again, and watched the people who had just received her slight approval die inexplicably.

Died because of weakness.

And Scati also blamed himself again and again for failing to protect his teammates, his acquaintances, and those who were recognized by him, and regretted it.

Life immersed in regret is often extremely sad and terrifying.

Because they lead people to one extreme after another.

As a result, Scati gradually closed his heart, dried up his self, and tried everything possible to avoid communication and interaction with others.

To this day, Scati remembers what she said to herself when she woke up from a light sleep nightmare three years ago.

"Haunting my nightmare, sing a song."

Who would have been so comfortable if it weren't for the fear of hurting someone's life, which is so accustomed?

If it weren't for the sake of other people's lives, how could Miss Orca always be alone by nature?

This is a choice that countless lives are piled up into a mountain of corpses, forcing her to make.

And then Skati did.

Walking alone,

It's been years since I left.

It is important to know that killer whales are social animals and rarely move alone unless they are lost or injured.

Even if there is a quarrel between peers, everyone can bite their tongues and apologize and reconcile, and in the end they are still the closest friends.

But the saddest thing about reason is that it always teaches gentle people how to be cruel to themselves.

Over the years, the loneliness and pain burdened by Miss Orca in her dull head are probably no less than that of humans wandering alone in the deep mountains and old forests.

She's always confused, even if she is called a monster by others, she doesn't have any expression, and she doesn't bother to get angry when she is misunderstood, but when she has time, she calculates how many Longmen coins she still has in her pocket, and she still needs to pick up a few rewards this month.

After he had done so, he sat alone on the edge of the bed leaning on his sword, looking at the sky like the sea in a daze.

It feels so good to be down-to-earth.

Not having to deal with the strange seaweed around you and the alien calamities hidden inside, the people on land are really happy.

When I wake up every day, my body is dry and refreshing, and I don't have the itch of being dried and formed into salt essence after being soaked in seawater.

It's just that it always feels like something is missing.

Scati didn't want to think, and he didn't want to think deeply.

It's good to be dull and sluggish, there's no need to be so smart and make trouble for yourself.

That's what Scati had always thought.

Until that day, she got into a fight with Mr. Bai, who had just arrived in Lentinium, because of a bounty mission.

But at the last moment, Mr. Bai deliberately deflected a fatal knife.

She herself was scratched on the shoulder because she couldn't dodge in time, and sat on the ground stupidly.

Originally, they were still facing each other seriously, but he didn't expect him to take advantage of his distraction, suddenly pinched his face, and looked at her red eyes that were unusual and smiled.

"I admire you."

Scati remembers very well that when Mr. White laughed, his eyes would squint and bend like willow leaves.

Then I will make a small 'thump' sound in my heart as if I have been hit by something.

Only you can hear it.

Scati thought that if she had a companion, it would be like this, right?

She didn't know either.

However, if you have to prove it, you can do it.

Because during the time she became Mr. Bai's companion, she would sleep very deeply every night when she kept vigil for Mr. Bai.

It's as if you can sink into the same dream as Mr. Bai.

Until daytime, when Miss Shining came to wake them up, there were no nightmares.

Probably chased away by Mr. Bai, right?

Then Mr. Bai would get up, rubbing his eyes, looking at her confused appearance with a helpless face, and beckoning her to hurry back to his room with a soft big bed to sleep.

In the end, he could only sigh and watch himself doze off on the sofa closest to his desk.

Although Mr. Bai always nagged about something that people couldn't understand, such as stiff pillow and poor sleep quality, for Scati, as long as Mr. Bai was next to her, even if it was a hard desk and a little sunny, she could sleep comfortably.

Companion, isn't that the kind of person you are?

So......

Be sure to drag Mr. Bai out of that mutated technique.

Scati raised his head and looked at Han Baiyi, who was standing in the center of the storm, clenching his teeth.

The wind is still blowing.

Scati's body curled up slightly under the continuous impact of the waves, and the muscles of his body were squeezed to the limit like springs.

The skin all over the body becomes as dark red as blood.

Scati pursed her lips tightly, her face was expressionless and slightly furrowed, her dark red eyes narrowed, and even her little nose was wrinkled, as if she was in great pain.

Whew——

Without warning, a tiny mist of blood suddenly erupted on the skin of his forearm.

Poof.

Then the surface of the body continued to burst into tiny blood flowers one after another, and as soon as the blood droplets flew into the air, they were immediately blown away by a hurricane that rolled like a whirlpool.

Still with his broadsword, Scati stood motionless, his red eyes staring straight ahead.

Staring at the blurred figure in front of him.

Zizizi——

The great sword that pierced into the outer wall of the city made a harsh sound of metal grinding, and blew out golden flames that flew with sparks.

This time, however, it was not backwards.

It's forward.

still relies on the big sword to fix the body, but in Scati's slender body, there is a huge power that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

The body with almost blood-colored skin on the surface was fixed by the greatsword, step by step, in a furious shockwave that was enough to tear the concrete floor into the tiniest structure.

Even the body seems to be cracking inch by inch.

Scati is a monster.

She herself admits she's a monster.

She was born to restrain the source stone energy, she didn't have the slightest source stone energy in her body, and all the battles relied on this terrifying body that was stronger than the real giant whale.

In front of this monstrous body, even the [Calamity] under the surface of the sea is no match for her.

So, if it were her, she would definitely be able to do it.

"Knock knock—"

The heart constantly makes a loud drum sound, and each beat expands and contracts at a speed that ordinary people cannot afford, pumping a large amount of blood into the blood vessels, bringing a steady stream of power.

The muscles swelled, the blood veins expanded, the pupils continued to contract, and the skin on the surface of the body suddenly burst open under the dual action of internal and external, blooming a fleeting brilliant blood flower, and then immediately disappeared into the wind.

【Tide Song】

It's an ability that Scati has developed on his own.

For such a long time, she had only used it once in front of Mr. Bai.

Because she hasn't had time to perfect it yet.

However, although it is not perfect, although the burden on the body is still very large, although there are many, many more fatal defects, although ......

However, it is still Mr. Bai who is a little more important.

Boom.

Another step down.

Scati's body was like steam, and the blood vapor evaporated from the high heat was wrapped in a blood-colored mist.

The blood-colored mist stretched so long that even the irascible hurricane could blow it away, dyeing Scati's most smug silver hair bloody.

Scati struggled to open his eyes, but everything in front of him was blurred by the massive blood loss, and his brain began to feel dizzy.

Obviously, the use of overload and ultra-extreme power is not without a price.

In the end, even the great sword under her hand, which was constantly tearing the steel forward, slowly lost its strength and shook slightly.

Scati opened his eyes hard, but his eyelids couldn't stop falling, and even his neck, which had always been stiff, lost his strength and gradually drooped.

The body began to weaken constantly.

Without blood, there is no strength.

This is a simple truth, and Scati still understands.

The light body seemed to fly away with the hurricane, and he didn't even have the strength to grasp the hilt of the sword, as if everything in his body had been burned clean.

It's just that there is still unwillingness in her red eyes.

'I'...... Is this all there is to it? ’

The thought crossed her mind.

Apathy.

Finally, Scati lowered his head, held the hilt of his sword, and called out in a very faint voice from the distance and everything that was blurred in front of him.

“...... Mr. Bai. ”

"Hmm."

“......”

“？？？”

Scati was stunned when he heard this.

In an instant, even the surrounding storm that could tear through steel suddenly stopped, like a summer rainstorm, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Han Baiyi appeared in front of her at some point, and seemed to be very distressed, and carefully reached out to pull up her red-dyed sideburns.

"I'm here."
