Edith stroked the glass phone in her hand, as if she could touch the distant Zhang Su.

But things will not be so good, Zhang Su ended the correspondence, like stabbing her, and a trace of loss came to Edith's heart.

She has a lot to say to Zhang Su, but fortunately, Zhang Su doesn't hate her. That was enough to make her happy.

She sits in her sprawling office in Hawaii, a small island in the Pacific Ocean that is a mesmerizing tropical getaway with all the rides and drowsy warmth.

Edith hopes that Zhang Su can use the opportunity of annual leave to go to Hawaii and enjoy life together.

People always overestimate their youth, life is short, how many opportunities do you have to indulge in revelry without distraction? Trivial matters from the outside world aside, the passage of time itself is enough to drain energy and mind.

It is a pity that the most energetic and active years of their lives were locked in a prison called "School". Edith couldn't help but imagine that if she met 17-year-old Zhang Su, he would have to be inseparable from Edith day and night, indulgent and uninhibited. It's a pity that he is now 26 years old, full of seriousness and a heart for good.

She came outside.

As night fell, some of the admirals waited outside, and when they saw Edith, they took off their hats and saluted, trembling.

These men came from all over the world, and the marshal intended to send promising soldiers to Attis to be trained and put to endure the most terrible tortures.

"Any news?" Edith looked at them, five in all.

"The front line has seen a high-level phase demon that can become invisible, but it doesn't seem to be interested in our troops, and instead is constantly traveling through space to hunt demons." A senior staff officer said.

"What else?" Edith easily captured the fear and uneasiness in their hearts.

“…… Two hours ago, the demon legion at the gates of hell in Australia and New Zealand launched another assault, three islands changed hands, Fiji Island was destroyed, and about 400,000 residents were killed...... "An officer reported the sad news.

He ventured out to raid the population because he had gone to block the Blade Order. Edith said secretly. Demons are in unison.

But these people also did not carry out the orders she left behind.

"Forgive me, there is not a complete brain in your lackluster staff that can accurately judge the movements of demons, and two-thirds of them think they are better than me." Edith said. Her clothes were still stained with blood, mostly from the flesh demon Carmen, and she herself was intact.

"I'm sorry, but it has been proven that your judgment is the most correct." Another tall blonde officer couldn't help but bow his head, his face scornful.

"400,000 people were killed." Edith's fingers flicked in the air, and her gaze flicked over a few of them, "One of you is responsible for this, and you should be buried." ”

They looked at each other in horror and quickly began to point fingers at each other.

"The 11th Fleet was completely motionless when Fiji was plundered......"

"Why don't you try to rescue the refugees?"

"You forcibly mobilized the fleet ......"

"It's because he didn't follow Master Edith's instructions......"

"My reinforcements have been deducted, and I can't do anything about it."

"I have evacuated most of the residents ahead of schedule, and I ...... without credit"

Edith savored the resentment, infidelity, annoyance, grievance, frustration, and despair revealed in their words. But it's still a little bit hot.

She raised her hand, and their movements were stunned, and the minds of these senior generals and colonels of the Pacific Theater were now easily dissected in layers, as if they were slowly wrapped by puppet silk threads, and their own will was completely paralyzed.

"Let's beat each other." "None of them dare to take responsibility, thinking that they have a bright future and that they don't deserve to die here." But 400,000 people have fallen into the mouth of the devil because of your negligence. ”

They immediately began throwing punches at each other, slamming each other desperately. These senior commanders, who once controlled motherships and large ships, are now beaten like shitty ruffians and curled with rude insults.

The fist hits the eye socket. Punch in the stomach. A fist hit the ribs.

Edith laughed beside her, laughing unbridled so much that tears flowed from her eyes.

Eventually, one person fell, a tall blonde man who was hit in the jaw with an elbow and immediately fainted. Edith glanced at Rear Admiral Jerome, interim commander of the 12 fleet.

Edith drove the others out of the way, allowing Jerome to get up and walk to the Hawaiian beach, walking alone to the sea, deeper and deeper, until the water covered his head.

"It looks like one of us committed suicide in fear of sin." Edith taunted, "And you will continue to command fleets to search and fight demons on the seas and at the bottom of the sea." You will all have to spend the rest of your lives atoning for the suffering of mankind. ”

Her fingers flew up and down, and the other four turned around and began to return to their command center in the form of the most faithful puppets, continuing to maintain the intricate chain of command in the Pacific Ocean and solve the problems of demons and native witches.

Many witches live on isolated islands and enslave the natives, creating a natural pattern of supernatural violence over humanity that needs to be educated by modern civilization. The insect king Eupharyn was caught on a small island in the South Pacific.

Edith looked at the warm sand and strolled here.

If Zhang Su is here, he should be able to solve many, many things. Save her a lot of trouble, he's really versatile......

"Come to me." She whispered a few words into the air.

Soon, the space cracked, and an elite phase demon with a faint body and a fierce and sharp appearance drilled out.

"Mistress Edith." She saw the drowned in the sea, "He died like that?" Jerome's father was one of the top co-conductors. ”

"Death is not the end. Leave a whole corpse, the logistics department will let him go to the second line to work, and even go back to chat with his father. Edith said, "I have something else to do with you." ”

"Please command."

"Go to New Tokyo, and the four weak demons have fled there. Carmen, Blade, Fortunado, and Nazmi. Devour them to your advantage and complete your final ascension. Li Yixin. Edith said.

"Your will will be carried out." Li Yixin crawled back into subspace.

……

……

2 days later.

Zhang Su, Princess Otohime, and Saho go to inspect the Black Water Tunnel, and at the other end of the flooded cave is the warehouse where the Stardust Raw Ore is stored.

The corridor is made of stone, and the murals on both sides have been eroded by the sea, and Princess Otohime glides easily on the ground.

"Can't you drain the water in there?" Saho asked.

"The waterways there are connected to the sea outside, unless you drain the sea." Princess Otohime uses her hands to climb the etched symbols on the wall.

"I'm tired! But Mr. Dasu won't let me sit on your tail. Sasui glanced up at Zhang Su.

"Tail scratching is not a good habit." Zhang Su said.

Princess Otohime smiled, the chat made her feel relaxed, it was getting harder and harder for her to imagine how she had dared to patrol the huge Ryugu Castle alone in the past, she really wanted to be accompanied.

"Look, here it is." Princess Otohime stands in front of the black water tunnel.

Zhang Su saw a smooth passage, very narrow, he couldn't get in, even if he went in, he couldn't swim far, this road was a straight slide for the sea clan, and there was a section in the middle that was completely submerged by the sea water on both sides. It takes a lot of time to renovate the tunnel or squeeze in.

"Spike can slide in." Saho squatted down and checked the entrance to the passage, "It's about 500 meters along the way. ”

"The stone book says that only trusted Sea Serpents are responsible for transporting Stardust Ore, and that the tunnels are designed for them to ensure maximum safety. We can extract as much raw ore as we want, and the remaining raw ore can be polished into 1,000 stardust bricks, a lot. Princess Otohime said positively.

"Enough." Zhang Su knew it. If the record Princess Otohime read is true, the precious stardust brick deposit is behind this underwater path.

In order to prepare for the ultimate natural disaster in 3 years, Stardust Bricks are indispensable, no matter which other world you go to open a stronghold, you must use Stardust Bricks to strengthen the tunnels and seal the demon gaps. Zhang Su thought to himself. Without Stardust Bricks, we'd be stuck in a corner.

Looking at Zhang Su's silent expression, Princess Otohime thought that he was overly anxious.

"Look at me." Princess Otohime bent down and bravely climbed into the waterway, "I might be able to get through." ”

"Come on! Come on! Saho clapped his hands beside him.

"Be careful." Zhang Su squatted down and watched Princess Otohime slide in smoothly, "Is it okay to pat the wall with your tail every time you move some distance?" ”

"Good!" Princess Otohime glides in, swimming along the water, and about every fifty meters she swims, she slaps her tail against the surrounding flooded rock walls, making a splashing sound.

"I want to swim too." Saho thought about swimming in the pool of the New Tokyo Luxury Hotel before, "Swimming looks really advanced." ”

"Ryugu is a good place to divide a beach." Zhang Su said, "You don't have to go to the beach to swim at that time." ”

"Okay, good, quick, quick." Saho's eyes lit up.

"Let's see Princess Otohime first." Zhang Su said.

The sound of the tail slapping against the waterway got farther and farther away, and after about a few minutes, it sounded again, and then got closer.

"Princess Otohime is back with Stardust Ore!" Saho is happy.

Princess Otohime crawled out of the black water channel in a bit of a daze, she looked a little embarrassed, and as soon as she climbed out, she quickly stretched her arms, as if she had been swimming uncomfortably in the narrow waterway before.

"Huh?" Saho walked around to the back and looked up again, "Your one didn't come from, that one didn't come from." ”

"I'm ......," Princess Otohime looked ashamed, "the raw ore is too heavy to be dragged on, and its density is ...... It seems to be a bit big. Moreover, the waterway is so narrow that just swimming requires all the effort and I can't exert my energy. Sure enough, only the sea snake people have the right body structure. ”

"It seems that we still have to find the original 'Sea Serpent People' to easily transport the Stardust Bricks." Zhang Su said.

"Where are they?" Saho asked.

"Come with me." Princess Otohime blinked and took Saho and Zhang Su to the royal cemetery in a corner of the Dragon Palace.

Zhang Su saw that there were traces of theft and excavation, which should have been done by demons, and they tried to find some souls from the bones, but found nothing.

"Wow-" Saho's eyes widened.

The carcasses of the sea tribe are all stacked in the belly of a giant whale corpse, soaked in seawater, and the reef and coral are clustered, forming a magnificent artificial whale landing landscape.

"Here, at the front." Princess Otohime raised her hand, "Their names and surnames are recorded in the stone book, and there are more than 3,000 corpses. Under the concept of our sea tribe, large and small sea snake people, squid people, fish people, and dragon blood people, when they are dying, they walk in from the big mouth of the giant whale, sit on the white bone pile made of the corpses of more than ten generations of sea tribes, lie around the dead bodies of their father's relatives and friends, quietly wait for death, reflect on the past, look at the sky hanging in the sea, let their lives flow in front of them, and finally become a new skeleton, adding the white bones of countless sea life, no longer distinguishing between high and low. ”

“…… That is, there are no sea snakes to help us, and it seems that we can only find a way to reconnoiter the waterway thoroughly, and then renovate and open it up, so that we can bring all the Stardust Brick raw ore out of the remote warehouse. Zhang Su said.

Saho looked thoughtfully at the huge pile of whale bones in front of him.

"I just had an idea." Saho said, "We can resurrect them." ”

"Resurrection?" Princess Otohime turned her head.
