in a space.

Xing Kai sat in a rocking chair, staring at the halo of the sky, a spoon in his mouth, and a strawberry-flavored ice cream in his hand.

A flash of white light appeared behind him from behind the platform passage.

The blind girl came out of there.

Xing Kai didn't look at it: "Zekou, I told you not to fall in love." ”

The blind girl didn't answer, and the thought of that Marjie made her no longer want to remember what had just happened.

She felt that Xing Kai was right this time, the two men in that group were more or less flawed, especially the one who played.

Xing Kai sat up straight and turned his head to look at the blind girl.

"It's a lot of fun, this time."

"It's okay, it's just a few times in the newspaper." The blind girl stood beside the tombstone and said with a light smile: "At least the rewards can offset the burden of the main line retreat." ”

Xing Kai took out a bag of sugar from his pocket, poured it on the ice cream, stirred the spoon and said, "This is thanks to the stupid president of the 'Fifth Detective Guild', as well as the [Critical One] for predicting the future......"

A voice could be heard in the distance.

"Did you get it?"

"Got it."

The blind girl opened her eyes and plucked out the blank eyeballs.

Crushing the eyeballs with his slender fingers, the blood thickens into white specks, condenses into a magic factor in the air, and then turns into a projection-like light curtain.

The person on the screen is Sauron.

"It will take me one to two days to parse Sauron Lee's data."

The blind girl turned her head to look not far away.

"Chloyd, what do you think?"

The blonde man was washing his face with cool water by the pool in the courtyard, his blue pupils stared in the direction of the blind girl and Xing Kai, then turned his head and picked up the towel next to him to wipe the drops on his face.

"Sawaguchi, you shouldn't have killed the girl who gave the handkerchief when you started with the person named Di in the 'Empty Corridor'."

"Accidental, but I do want to take advantage of Di's kindness. The truth is, I did succeed, though...... The man who was full of stench actually broke the puppet technique lightly. The blind girl's face sank: "What you said about this, does it have anything to do with business?" ”

Chloyd lowered his head and looked at the water coming out of the faucet.

"Just a reminder, I'm afraid this will become a reason for the 'Empty Corridor' to intervene, forget it...... Sawaguchi, what level are those two people? ”

"You mean 'Fifth Detectives Guild'?" The blind girl recalled, "It's amazing. ”

"I mean, compare to you."

"The one with the cane is on par with me." The blind girl added: "I mean, fire with all your power, use all your strength, fight to the death." ”

"Xing Kai, what do you say?" Chloyd asked again.

"What Zeguchi said......" Xing Kai took a bite of ice cream, shrunk his cheeks, and said after blowing a breath: "Probably, I don't know how that kid took down the Mirror Master for the time being, but from my experience...... It's on par with Sawaguchi. ”

"Don't you care about Sauron Lee?" The blind girl asked.

Chloyd turned off the faucet, looked at the future reflected in the basin, and said: "Sauron Lee, you will definitely become an opponent, this is the nature of the main quest, it is unavoidable, that person is very powerful, there are so many means that none of us can imagine, it will be a bitter battle, even a duel that is harder than all the battles we have experienced." ”

A man with a small head sticks his head out of the second-story window, looking down at Chloyd, who is talking directly below.

His name is Jiwen, a 2P character here.

"But we're going to win in the end, right, Chloyd."

Chloyd looked up and looked at Given.

"Jiwen, all I know is that you are going to die."

“……”

"We've been selected by the invitation mission, you can't quit halfway, so it's inevitable death, even if you've seen many endings, but Jiwen you will definitely die under the onslaught of Sauron's side."

"But, isn't there Xing Kai?"

"That doesn't just mean that even Xing Kai can't save you."

Givens was stunned for a few seconds, then turned to look at the blind woman.

"Zeguchi, I'm dying, do it with me for a few days, please."

"Let me refuse, although I am blind, I still hope that the man I sleep with is a better-looking man."

"Hahaha, fuck your uncle, Borderliner!"

"It's a very nasty thing to know the answer to life...... Xing Kai ate up the ice cream, patted his cheek, and said, "Back to what I said at the beginning, what does our problem with Sauron have to do with Li Nuo?" ”

"They might come too." Chloyd paused and said, "I could see that the game disc was connected to Sauron, but I didn't see that it was because of the [Remnant] that Sauron appeared. ”

Xing Kai was stunned: "I'll go ......"

Blind Girl: "It's difficult, isn't it?" ”

Given: "I don't understand. ”

Xing Kai explained: "The prophetic ability of the [Critical One] is not good for Li Nuo and the others. ”

Chloyd knew the answer.

"They've broken fate, and more than once. I shouldn't have given that hat to Geralt, it had the rune I had imprinted in it, and he easily cracked the prophecy of the rune. ”

Xing Kai shrugged his shoulders.

"To put it bluntly, it's still a matter of fate, [Borderline] eats by seeing fate, and is also restrained by fate, so all you worry about is Brother Li and them joining, so that you can change from strong luck to a weak person who can't get a glimpse of the truth."

"Xing Kai." Chloyd looked at the reflection of the water with an expressionless face: "Weak is an excuse, strong is a humble word, and everything can only be known when you see it." ”

……

Mining town.

Capone had locked himself in the house for a long time.

He sat in his chair and watched the sun shine through the window.

Capone lit a cigarette and quietly admired the afternoon sun.

Two days had passed since that day, and his memory was still stuck in the sky and the white fortress.

On the table was a newspaper.

Matters about "Icarus" were completely suppressed, and under the pretext of terrorist attacks, the Principality of Wales threw the question of this heavy defeat of the army to its neighbors, a very small country.

Reality is always so magical, the back of the pot that should not be carried by the blame, the life that should not be lived, and the happiness that should not be happy.

The war left him with deep psychological trauma.

The war was almost identical to what was written in the newspapers, starting as a dispute with a small country, and eventually turning into an irreparable bullying of a small country by a large country.

Many of the twisted beginnings are often absurd lies.

Often, the only ones who get hurt are those who stayed out of the way in the first place.

Capone is just a microcosm of what was under that war.

Faced with the sacrifice of his comrades, the death of the enemy, and witnessing the passing of his life made him question the credibility of his own life, burdened with guilt and doubt, Capone could not promise his lover Gina, and ran away again and again, closing off his emotions as a human being.

In the end, when the second war broke out, this sentiment was exploited by a witch and turned him into a pig.

The inability to escape the trauma in his heart and to see what he wanted made Capone linger in the face of a pig forever.

The journey of Icarus, the air thieves of Doros take on the job of chauffeur and rescuer, the soldiers of the Duchy of Wales are personally involved in the wars of the ancient civilizations, Llorente is the mad and desperate scholar, and the princes and nobles behind the great power are the initiators of everything.

Well, what about Capone.

He was initially invited by Marjie, but as a weapons craftsman, he was pushed by Gina and left the house with the strength to distract himself.

On this trip, he was more of a spectator, but in the end he found that he was a spectator of his own.

Capone has always wanted to find Icarus and prove that he was brave enough to marry Gina, so as to break the curse of turning into a pig.

however

Cha Bai changed from a pig to a human, just because he simply saw his lover who came to pick him up.

Icarus is not a god's domain as legend suggests, but a floating island powered by magic and machinery.

The above two things made Capone gradually understand that the world itself is actually very simple, depending on how you see and think, don't be affected, just follow your heart.

He picked up the pen and dotted the ink.

I thought that if I wanted to say goodbye to the time I was affected by the war before, it would be better to write down the things I saw in the days to come.

The weapons processing furnace under the shop has been flooded with.

It is not too difficult for him to choose whether to continue to be a craftsman hiding in the dark and dare not see people in the space left by the biogas, or to be a fool who lives with a pen under the window that shines through the sun.

Footsteps could be heard outside the house.

Then came Gina's voice.

"I heard Sophia say that you locked yourself in the house as soon as you came back, what the hell happened?"

Gina pushed open the door like a hostess and saw Capone with his back to her, looking thinner and nothing serious.

"Scared the hell out of me...... I've heard you've seen Icarus. Gina leaned against the doorframe, her eyes flickering, her eyelashes trembling as if she meant something, and raised her hand to place the lady's cigarette between her red lips.

Capone leaned back in his chair and said in a languid tone, "Icarus has nothing." ”

"Borrow a fire, sir." Gina walked over.

And then

The cigarette of the lips fell to the ground.

The sun outside the window shone on Capone's face.

Gina looked at Capone's reflection in the window, and then at Capone.

His gaze moved from the pig's face in his mind to the man, then from the man to the pig, and back to the man, and finally the pig in his mind disappeared completely, leaving only Capone, who had turned back into a man.

With a relieved smile, Gina picked up the cigarette on the floor and put it back to her mouth.

"It doesn't seem important to distinguish which face is a pig and which is a human."

Capone picked up a lighter and lit a cigarette for her.

"Gina, promise me to quit smoking when you get married."

"No, it won't."

Gina glanced at the paper and pen on Capone's desk.

"You want to write a book?"

"I want to write about some interesting things during this time, and use autobiographical methods to write about some people who have changed my perception."

"Huh, the title of the book?"

Capone touched his chin.

"Since it's autobiography, it's called ......"

……

[World Development Line: Art Direction, Special Mission Completed]

[A certain guy who abandoned martial arts and literature wrote your story into a book, and this book may cause literary shocks in the future]

[I haven't chosen whether to end the world yet, so the reward for this quest will be announced after the main story is completed]

[Title of the book "I found out I was a fool"]

Li Nuo looked at the panel that had just popped up, staring at the indelible dead fish eyes.

"So, why do you want to use 'stupid' in the title of the book related to me?"

He was sitting on the deck of an airboat, fishing.

It's been two days since Icarus' fall.

Now the sun is shining, the sky is clear, and there are clouds.

Marjie sat next to him, fiddling with his tea-white energy hammer.

In the past two days, with the help of Chen Shou, five new hidden mission points have been locked.

The first place is an exploration cave, and I fought a boss that wasn't too strong, and I got a skill ball.

【Blood Mist】

[Learning conditions: master a kind of blood magic, spiritual power 25]

[Effect: Use your own blood to spread a blood mist with a radius of about 5 meters, in which all your movements are hidden, and the cooldown time is 3 minutes]

[Brief description: Great aunt's special skills]

Well, that boss is a female vampire, and it's not outrageous to have any race in this kind of world anyway.

Anyway, Li Nuo learned this trick.

There is a blood magic that needs to be mastered, and only he can learn it.

The second place, on an island on the border of the Duchy of Wales, has a handwritten book that the player has hidden.

Looking through Li Nuo's magnifying glass, he obtained a pharmaceutical notebook, and then made a rebellious and absurd thing.

【Super Tieguanyin】

【Quality: Excellent】

[Effect: Breathe life into the weapon, repair the durability of the weapon, or drink it to restore an appropriate amount of mana (about 40% mana)]

[Brief description: Tieguanyin saw his best friend Longjing die in the hands of Huacha, he broke out in anger and became the legendary super Tieguanyin, so the color of the tea leaves of this thing is yellow]

Li Nuo happens to have a tea jar, the kind of infinite refill, and he plans to go back and combine this thing with the tea jar to see if he can make a super tea jar.

The third place, above some plateau.

There was a treasure chest lying quietly in the dilapidated fortress, and according to their investigations, it should be a treasure chest left by a great magician who had been dead for hundreds of years.

【Pandora's Mimic】

[Quality: Garbage ~ Excellence]

[Effect: Open it, you may see a treasure, it may be a monster, and it may explode directly, in short, it will be very dangerous, after all, the guy who left this treasure chest is a magician who likes to play pranks]

[Brief description: Alexander is a respected mage, he likes to play pranks, one day, he made a strange treasure chest out, the treasure chest may open something bad may happen, he is very satisfied with this work, so he put some of his research into it, and put down an announcement, saying that there is a hidden treasure chest, and also drew a treasure map for albatrosses to spread everywhere, because this guy is notorious, so no one believes it, this prank ends here, until a few years later, when he rummaged for something, Find out the treasure chest forgotten in the corner, this guy has forgotten the badness of the treasure chest, and after opening the treasure chest, he is eaten by the treasure chest he made]

Given the sad story expressed in the introduction.

Li Nuo and the others decided to go back to the space and open the box again, after all, the space is still safer.

Then there's the fourth treasure hunt.

A certain military camp.

Omitting the process, I found a goggle anyway.

【Combination Goggles】

[Quality: Epic]

[Equipment requirements: "Craftsman" attribute, insight 100]

[Effect: You can see the things formed after the item is synthesized in advance, note that the object needs to rest for 24 hours before it can be used again after being used effectively]

[Brief description: Big brother]

Exclusive to Marjie.

Finally, there is the fifth baby.

They found the corpse of a player in a cold quagmire and got an incredible thing.

【Fragments of Leviathan's Axe】

【Quality: Excellent】

[Effect: Just an axe]

[Brief description: It's just an axe]

Don't look at the brief description and the effect is as mediocre, in line with the fact that the simpler the entry, the more exaggerated the effect, and the less you wear, the higher the defense, this thing depends on the name.

Leviathan, tomahawk.

Fragments of Kratos' weapons in God of War.

It's still an axe, but it's a scrap axe, but even if it's scrapped, it's an artifact.

Since it cannot be used effectively, it can be regarded as a material for making equipment.

Marje wore the Goggles of Combination and observed that this thing could merge with a tea-white hammer.

And so.

Now Li Nuo fishing.

Marger sat next to him and parsed the hammer.

As for why the things I got matched the urine style of these three people, I have to thank Chen Shou.

Since Cha Bai set out the location of the hidden branch line, a large number of treasure chest locations have been updated on the map, and it took Chen Shou several hours to summarize the location of the prop treasure chest that best suits the three of them.

Sauron hadn't been to their space for the past two days, and everything was done by Chen Shou alone.

[By the way, you're coming back soon, right?] 】

The thin brother is chatting with Li Nuo.

"Well, there's still ten minutes or so."

Chen Shou: [There is one thing you have to think about what to do, according to my observation, the time of the real world and the time of your script are in sync with the time of your script this time. 】

Li Nuo: "I already knew, it doesn't matter, I took a leave of absence for a week." ”

Chen Shou: [What about Brother Ma? 】

Li Nuo: "He seems to be similar, saying that the hospital organized him to go out to study, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't go." ”

At this point, the rod shook a little.

Li Nuo lifted the fishing rod up.

The bait tied to the end of the line is a mechanical lifeform......

At this time, Cha Bai looked down from the lookout on the deck, and couldn't help but let out a sigh: "Why did he use mechanical lifeforms as bait again......"

She jumped.

Leno was taking a card from the mechanical lifeform.

This is the last treasure that can be obtained with a small chance.

[Skill Card: Large Meteorite Summoning (Incomplete Version, Can Only Be Used Again)]

[Effect: Summons a meteorite, indiscriminately smashes everyone within the range, as well as you, the card has been used twice, the last time the power has plummeted, and it can't destroy the world, but it can destroy you (the side effects are great, super muscle weakness, just say if you're afraid)]

[Brief description: The old Liu family has a mage]

According to Icarus' records, the previous "human" destruction had a lot to do with it.

Marjie on the side glanced at it and said, "The player's behavior determines the appearance of the scripted world, right?" ”

"Hmm." Li Nuo slightly invisible chin head, put the card into his pocket, and said with a smile: "Isn't the story of "Cyberpunk" triggered by us, including this world, without Chabai and we defeat N2 there, there will be no this world, the player creates the script, then enters the script, then falls into the loop, and finally becomes a part of the world, probably that's it, the creator is still small in the end, and is still worthless compared to the world." ”

The change in the events of the Nier world may be related to the "Void Corridor", which may represent "evolution", and the huge magic of the "Void Corridor" affects the transition process of the thing itself.

However, since Di promised to communicate after he returned, there might be an explanation for these things when they returned to space.

Forming a strange relationship with the "Empty Corridor", a guild with Di and Brupp as the core, is not a good thing, but a bad thing.

At best, this script didn't kill everywhere, and there may be unexpected surprises.

At worst, it's not a big loss, it's nothing more than the loss of some experience points for killing players and the props and equipment that are obtained with a small probability.

Actually, Li Nuo himself didn't think of one thing.

Since the first time he entered the script to make trouble, many causal cycles have been clockwork, no matter whether he does anything in the script in the future or not, even if he is as peaceful as this time, those circular events will find him, good or bad, but they will never treat him badly.

This situation is also unclear to most players.

Players influence the world, and the resulting different worlds give back.

It's like taking a bank deposit, the more you save, the more interest you get.

For example, Capone wrote a book to trigger the [World Development Line: Art Direction] quest reward, and the dark line is actually due to the fact that Li Nuo has already influenced a world and a character in "art", so when he affects another world of the same but different in the same way again, the world will also give him interest.

Cha Bai was walking towards them, and suddenly his steps stopped.

"Huh?" Marjie was stunned, he took apart Chabai's hammer, this scene was unexpected by Chabai.

She thought that Brother Ma just wanted to see the external energy supply of the hammer, but she didn't expect it to be dismantled......

It's not a big deal to demolish it......

The problem is, there's a prop in this hammer.

[Big "beep" crazy slap your face! ] 】

This is an electric Armstrong gyro-accelerated Armstrong cannon, which was combined with the hammer at the beginning, and the current hammer is created, and the brief description of this weapon also kindly reminds that there is an Armstrong cannon in the hammer......

When Malger took the unspeakable thing out of the hammer, everyone else was stupid.

"Li Nuo, you two are playing a lot, huh? I'll go, and I'll still nourish the water! ”

"I really don't know about it."

Li Nuo defended and glanced at Cha Bai not far behind him.

The girl turned her back and became blind like a scumbag.

At this moment, the door of the cabin was pushed open, and an air thief stuck his head out and shouted at Marjie, "Dad! Dine! ”

Marger has the heart to jump into the sea.

Ever since the first time I saw the air thieves, these stupid guys called him "Dad", and to this day, they still call him "Dad".

These air thieves are not stupid enough to really treat Brother Ma as their father, they just think it's fun......

If Marger had known that Doroth himself was not an old woman but a mature woman, he would have knelt on the ground and agreed.

It's just that I might not have that chance.

Li Nuo glanced at the group of empty thieves.

……

"This is leaving?"

Doros looked at the thing in front of him in disbelief, and there was a mechanical lifeform.

"Well, thank you." Li Nuo launched a flying boat in the engine room, then sat on it, and said to the group of guys behind him, "We have other things, we can come back when we are done." ”

Doros crossed his arms around his chest, and said with a strained face, "Stinky boy...... You're lying. ”

"Truth or falsehood doesn't matter that much, right?" Leno smiled.

Maljie carried a large bag of equipment upgrade material stones that Leno had gotten from the back of the island whale, and then sat in the main pilot's seat.

Turn your head.

Only Chabai was touching the hairpin in his hair, wanting to take it off and return it to Doros.

But Doros held her hand and shook his head.

"Silly girl, you have to learn to tie your own hair."

Cha Bai stared at her, then the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and nodded.

"Hmm."

She sat in the back seat with the mechanical lifeform in her arms.

Marger stepped on the gas.

Leno turned his head and instructed, "There is time to clear the gems and gold coins you brought from Icarus, otherwise this airship will only be used as a seafaring ship." ”

Doros stood in front, her adopted sons in the back, and in the back were a large number of gold coins and precious stones.

The smiling faces left by these guys are the last farewell gift.

The flying ship drives the floating rocks into the air.

Cha Bai turned his head and stared at the smaller and smaller airships, and the air thieves who couldn't be seen, until the titanium-white hair pierced through the clouds.

She withdrew her gaze and looked at the mechanical lifeform beside her.

There is an hour left, and the main story is coming to an end.

As she had to make a final choice, she asked the mechanical lifeform, "Do you have an answer?" ”

For two days, this little robot saw the world created by his group of exploration team members.

A lot of things are contrary to their conceptions, the world does not run around AI programs, it has its own set of biological concepts, and humans are not necessarily perfect, but ...... It's hilarious.

"I, I still can't make a decision, this matter has to be decided by you, the ancestor gene."

"I had already decided." Cha Bai smiled: "I mean, when you return to Earth, do you have any other answer to your view of the world?" ”

The mechanical life form was stunned: "Back to Earth? ”

"Don't forget, Cha Bai said that he would send you back to Earth!" Li Nuo said in the wind.

"Can it work? Already, twelve thousand years. "There was an imperceptible excitement in the smooth voice of the mechanical lifeform.

"Do you remember, you said, there's a mechanical cult there?" Cha Bai asked.

The mechanical lifeform bowed slightly.

"Hmph." Marger lit a cigarette against the strong wind in the air: "I don't know which timeline it is, but it's okay to send you back." ”

Mechanical lifeform: "You are?" ”

Li Nuo put his arm on Marjie's shoulder, bared his teeth and smiled: "Introduction, the leader of the legendary mechanical cult, the great evil god who founded the sect. ”

Then he took out a piece of paper, as well as a bottle of [Baloroloenzyme Respirator] and handed it to the mechanical lifeform.

"Give this to Jacole and she'll have a way to cure your 'cyber psychosis' that is rampant with these things."

"Then, and then I want to?"

"Would you like to join the Mechanical Cult?" Marger asked, adding, "Join in order to go home." ”

The mechanical lifeform was silent for a few seconds: "Yes." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, in the cramped cockpit of the flying ship, another mechanical lifeform appeared, which was the cultist summoned by Marjie.

"Take it back."

At the sound of a command, the two mechanical lifeforms disappeared into the flying ship together.

The next second.

The body of the mechanical life passed through a wormhole-like white light, and returned to York City, where it had not seen it for tens of thousands of years.

The sky is starry.

There are a large number of mechanical lifeforms and androids living in the Steel City.

"I, I'm back?"

Time is the tenth year since its departure.

But it doesn't care so much.

At this time, a large number of mechanical lifeforms brought this guy to the altar of the cult.

On the way, Jacoor, who was wearing glasses, noticed it.

"What a familiar smell......"

Jacole followed, stealing from it the recipe strip for the potion left by Li Nuo and the [Baloroflase Respirator].

She pushed her glasses and laughed.

"It's really fate, do you want to be the creator?"

She looked at the mechanical lifeform that had been taken away.

Near the cult altar, in the cramped and gloomy alleyways, a large number of mechanical lifeforms split into two ways to welcome the new cultists.

And in a corner, there are three guys.

Prometheus.

Nek

Echo.

The couple stared around in a daze.

Nek: "I mean, we seem to have to wait a little longer, Prometheus. ”

"I know." Prometheus was stunned and said, "But the captain of that team won't summon us out...... We'll have to stay for more than a month. ”

Echo: "A month? Isn't the guild gone? ”

Prometheus covered his face: "yes...... the way the 'Arctic Circle' guild was destroyed is too funny......

Echo said with a smile as he looked at the statue of the leader made of a mechanical lifeform on the altar, dragging his chin.

"It's okay, don't you think the sect leader is very handsome?"

……

[Hidden Quest Line Completed: Return to Earth]

[Hidden Quest Line Completed: Clean Up the Bane That Was Planted]

[Rewards will be settled upon return]

Li Nuo is very satisfied, this time it is a successful conclusion, but he always feels that something is missing......

It seems that there is something else that he or Marger has forgotten in this world.

Flying ships wander in the air.

Cha Bai also glanced at the sea from time to time.

"It's too far away to be seen." Li Nuo reminded: "Since there is cause and effect in the world, maybe one day we may come back, so ...... Forget it, when I didn't say it. ”

"Let's leave now." Cha Bai said.

Li Nuo: "One more hour, no more looks?" ”

She knew Li Nuo's intentions.

Seeing that she has a good impression of the world, he bids farewell to the air thief who has established a relationship with her in the gentlest way, and takes her to see the world again in the air, although the pilot is Marger.

Chabai shook his head: "No, you said it, and you will come back." ”

Then she took out the [Data Sphere].

Deprive the humans here of their genes of peace and let them destroy themselves;

Call out Icarus again and wage war to destroy civilization and genes and bring the world to zero.

Or, leave nothing at all.

The answer was set at the start.

She used all her strength to crush the [Data Sphere], so that the last "fate" characteristic of "Nier" in this world disappeared, and from now on, this is a new world, and there is no longer any framework to bind it.

Whether the living beings live or die is their choice, and there is no need for the programs of other worlds to decide.

Debris scattered into the sea.

It didn't take long for the whistle of a steam train to be heard in the air.

Not the sky train of this world, but the train that sends them off.

The train crashed into the flying ship, the empty ship, and fell into the sea.

【Quest Completed】

【Players, please get on the bus】

……

The [Data Sphere] completely disappeared in the sea, and Icarus's "soul" island in the sea turned into foam.

Icarus has since become a true legend and will gradually be forgotten in the river of history.

When all this happens.

Above the sky.

Island whales emerge from the clouds.

It flew towards the sea.

Gently enter the sea.

Then, when no one knew about it, it became an ordinary whale.

(End of chapter)
