After a period of adaptation on the ship, Nina has become accustomed to facing small difficulties in the process of reading and learning, including but not limited to shadows in the spirit world, demons appearing in the deep sea, and the changes in the books themselves, and with the hard training she has always made, she has now made great strides in her control of her powers.

The specific performance is that even if she lifts her leg and kicks 6000°, she can ensure that she will not ignite the bedding on the bed next to her.

The dazzling light flashed by, and the demons from the depths of the world instantly turned to ashes under the power of the sun, and there was not even a stench of burning left in the air—only the warm smell of the midday sun after the warm basking of the bedding.

The last of the ghostly hounds attracted by the book remained alone in the middle of the room, and even though it was a chaotic, instinctive ghost, the terrifying creature seemed to be in a moment's daze, unable to understand why it had suddenly lost two companions—now in front of it was a dog who was being chained by Shirley and leaning over, and behind it was Nina, who was walking forward step by step, shrouded in light like the blazing sun.

The terrifying coercion from behind him was far better than the abnormal-looking "kind" in front of him.

The Demon subconsciously turned his head and met a gaze as hot as the sun.

Nina lowered her head slightly, her hair was completely dyed with a layer of golden glow, the dazzling glare escaped from her seven orifices, the power of the ancient sun burned under the human body, she looked at the demon, and the bones of the demon burned directly in her gaze.

Shirley was frightened, she had never seen Nina angry before, she even thought that her usually sunny and cheerful friend was not angry at all, but now she knew that she was wrong—Nina was obviously very angry now.

Her anger rose like the sun, and even if the heat escaped, the light was still as dazzling as if it could burn people's souls.

As Shirley grew nervous and finally couldn't help but speak, Nina finally spoke—she opened her mouth, and the scorching plasma flame escaped from the corners of her mouth, like a roar:

"My homework!" Her voice was even filled with grief and indignation, "My rolls! My reference book! And Shirley's homework! They were all scratched by these dogs!"

The fury of the sun caused the demons to lose their ability to move in shock, and Shirley was even more shocked when she heard it, and even almost laughed out loud: "Really? I don't have my homework anymore?"

But in the next second, she reacted and quickly stopped Nina, who was about to avenge her homework with a flying foot: "Ah, wait! Spare this demon for his life! Dog has something to ask!"

Nina's feet were raised at this time, but after hearing the shouts of her friends, she subconsciously stopped, and looked at Shirley out of the corner of her eye: "What else is there to ask—isn't it just a ghostly demon who runs over while people are reading books to make trouble?" Several of them were killed on the ship......

"But it's daylight!" Shirley said loudly.

Nina was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted.

It's daytime, and even though it's foggy outside and the sky is darkening like evening, it's daytime — the time when Vision 001 still covers the world.

The city-state of this time is safe, and reading does not invite invasion in the darkness - why do these ghostly demons appear?

Nina's gaze (6000°) immediately fell on the last of the ghostly hounds.

Basking in the stellar glow at extreme closeness, the demon's bones began to smoke—it instinctively struggled, as if it wanted to open a rift and return to the deep sea, but this instinctive escape was interrupted in an instant.

Ah Dog interfered with the rift that had just appeared next to the demon and had not yet taken shape.

"Can you ask anything?" Nina reined in some of her strength and looked at Ah Dog curiously, "Didn't you say that normal dark demons don't have much intelligence and can't communicate at all?"

"No brains are no brains, but if you really want to investigate, you can find something—they have memories, and there are occasional continuous fragments in the chaotic mind," Dog shook his head, as if because he had just been with the other

The ghost hound was a little buzzing after the hammer, "Don't worry, the ghost demon has the ghost demon's communication, means."

"What means of communication?" Nina and Shirley asked in unison.

「…… It's not pretty," the dog grunted, slowly walking towards the dark hound, which had stopped struggling under the scorching sun, and then looked up at Shirley again, "Close your eyes, Shirley."

Shirley was stunned for a moment and obediently closed her eyes.

Short growls, fights, followed by the sound of bone fragments being torn, crushed, chewed, and tooth-aching creaks, the fierce struggle of a demon lasted only a moment.

After a while, Shirley tentatively opened her eyes, and saw that there was only a small pile of black dust on the floor in the center of the room that was dissipating rapidly, and Dog was standing next to the pile of dust, and Nina was standing a little stunned on the opposite side, and after a long time, the scorching sun on her body gradually dissipated, and exclaimed, "Wow"

Shirley guessed what had happened after she closed her eyes just now, and she glanced at Ah Dog with a slightly complicated expression: "Actually······ I didn't ····· either."

"You're going to have nightmares, I know you," Dog shook his head, then sharpened his teeth, and spat to the side in disgust, "Phew."

"You're toothy?"

"This demon who doesn't even know a word gnaws like a stone, and can't even squeeze a complete sentence out of it—it's a shame that this guy also ran after knowledge." Ah Gou complained in disgust about his illiterate kind, showing his confidence and pride as a cultural dog, and then lowered his head, as if he was seriously perceiving the information he had just "exchanged".

After a moment, it looked up in some confusion and looked at Shirley and Nina, "Strange...... The remnants of the ghostly hound show ...... It has never felt the oppression of Vision 001......

Shirley and Nina looked at each other in disbelief.

"But now······ It's ······ daytime."

Shirley muttered subconsciously, slowly came to the window, and looked out the window.

Thickening fog had covered all the streets, and the thick fog and high-altitude clouds were like layers of frost, and in this thick curtain, the sky was already as dim as dusk, and even the facades of the buildings across the street could not be seen in the distance.

But there was still a light in the sky, and that was where the sun was—it was indeed daytime, indeed Vision 001.

"Nina, look," Shirley pointed to the sky, "the sun is there······

She stopped suddenly.

In the depths of the thick fog and clouds, the bright light quietly shook a few times, and then it spread out like a reflection in the water.

It seems, it wasn't the sun in the first place—it was just a visual afterimage of the city-state as the curtain was raised.

Over the frost, the sun vanished.

At the same time, the central area of the city-state, located deep underground directly below the boiling gold mines, was ancient and dusty

in the second waterway.

The fog in the city hadn't spread underground, and the slightest oddity on the surface wouldn't have affected the exploration team's movements—in the depths of the desolate underworld, the Church's Guardian forces were reinforcing their newly established advance stronghold in an orderly manner.

Spider-like steam walkers glided through the wide sewer corridors, high-powered searchlights swept through every dark corner of the corridor, multi-barreled cannons slightly adjusted angles on the turrets on both sides of the "spider" carapace, always on the lookout for the shadows that might lurk in the dark forks of the road, the silent monks in dark robes prayed silently in the bunkers of the intersection to recuperate for the follow-up advance, and the elite veteran guards guarded the posts and gates at various intersections, with lanterns hanging from their waists and canes in their hands, and in the other hand grips a specially modified shotgun or large-caliber revolver.

The Second Waterway has been ruled by darkness for too long, and the mission to explore this dimly lit place is not so much to "investigate" something as it is to do it

Declare war on a kingdom of terror that has been gradually distorted and distorted.

The enemy can be anything, and the enemy is the darkness itself.

There was a strange hissing sound at a fork in the road in the distance, mixed with the crawling and wriggling sound of some kind of huge limbs, and the two steam walkers that were on guard at the junction immediately reacted, and four powerful flashbangs were first thrown from the front of the spider's body, and then the guardian on the walker manipulated the turntable cannon to shoot a round of strafing in the direction from which the strange sound came from - in the deafening roar, the darkness swelled violently, as if something was injured, and was about to emerge from the darkness.

Twelve black-robed monks of silence rose from behind their covers, and at the same time raised the holy texts in their hands, their bandaged arms pointing at the darkness in the distance, and shouted in unison.

In the darkness, a pale flame burned, and with the barrage of steam walkers, it burned the things that were born of the invisible darkness to ashes.

The restless darkness returned to calm, and the fork in the road gradually turned from pitch black to dim and then to light, and the light spread normally to that junction, illuminating the situation there.

There was nothing there, only large and small craters in the walls.

and the faint, fast-dissipating stench in the air.

Agatha withdrew her gaze toward the fork in the road in the distance.

A fork in the road has been reclaimed, and the Guardian forces have dispersed yet another darkness of the underworld—and it's a tiny corner of the vast Second Waterway.

She's not here to deal with those "forks in the road."

"Take me to that door."

The gatekeeper turned his head slightly and said to the subordinates beside him.
