Mans and Selma stared at the monitor, exchanging silent glances.
There was no further news after that.
"Professor...it seems like there's a signal every time that guy calls?" Selma pointed uncertainly at Xia Mu's back.
Mans slapped her on the forehead: "Your imagination is too vivid!"
“That’s true…” Selma scratched the back of her head. “Don’t you think it’s too much of a coincidence?”
“Okay, then go find him and yell it out again,” Mans said.
"it is good."
Selma stepped out of the cockpit.
At this moment, Natsuki had already let go of Erii's hand, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. It was clear that those two shouts were just a whim, and now that he had come to his senses, he felt a little ashamed.
"Eri, was I being too dramatic just now?" he asked, touching his nose.
Erii turned and leaned against him, asking as expected, "What's 'chuunibyou'?"
"Originally, it referred to second-year middle school students, who often begin to enter their rebellious phase, and their behavior and thoughts become out of sync. Now it specifically refers to people who are inexplicably passionate," Xia Mu explained.
"Oh…"
Erii's long eyelashes fluttered, and she clutched his clothes with her small hands: "I feel great... I feel safe..."
"Reassured?" Xia Mu was puzzled.
"I don't know, I just feel at ease." Erii wrapped her arms around her, she was becoming more and more enamored with the feeling of being embraced.
"Xia Mu, Xia Liyi, hello."
Selma finally came up behind the two and wrinkled her nose slightly when she saw them embracing.
“Selma, a student from the class of 06 at Kassel College, is an executive officer.”
She reached out and shook hands with Xia Muqian briefly, then looked at him and said, "Could you say 'I am the King of the World' a few more times? Everyone likes it."
Xia Mu: "..."
Chapter 111 The Scene of Social Destruction
"I'm not going to shout anymore. You can shout it yourselves if you like."
Xia Mu shook his head decisively.
If we're going to die, we should all die together. It's absolutely unacceptable for him to die alone!
"Don't be shy, everyone likes to hear it." Selma reached out and patted Xia Mu on the shoulder. "Junior, this is your youthful energy, it's very infectious."
"No."
Natsuki, holding Erii's hand, said goodbye, "We're going back to rest now. Goodbye."
“Wait, Professor Mans wants you to call out a couple more times,” Selma said reluctantly.
Xia Mu turned around curiously: "If you like it, you can call me that yourself. Why are you targeting me? I think you'd sound really good too."
"How could I... how could I call out..."
Salma's face flushed red.
"Senior, you're still young. Don't label yourself as a middle-aged woman so quickly. Calling yourself that shows your youthful energy," Xia Mu retorted.
The beautiful Latina girl was at a loss.
"what happened?"
At this moment, Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya walked over side by side, their arms almost touching.
“Senior Selma wants me to shout ‘I am the King of the World’ a few more times,” Xia Mu scratched his head. “It’s a bit awkward. How about you do it, senior?”
Ye Sheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Uh..."
“Selma, you didn’t make this request for no reason, did you? What’s going on?” Shudeya asked.
Selma hesitated, unsure how to begin, before saying, "It's like this... We're searching for Bronze City, right? Before, the signal was weak; we could only confirm it was in the Three Gorges area, but couldn't pinpoint its location. Then just now, we got two strong signals..."
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised; finally, there was progress.
"Location successful?" Ye Sheng asked.
"No…"
Selma shook her head and glanced at Xia Mu: "There wasn't enough time to locate it. The time was too short, and it never appeared again after that."
"this…"
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya looked at each other in bewilderment.
"So you came to find me..." Xia Mu's face twitched, "You don't suspect that I made those two strong signals, do you?"
"Yes, yes..."
Selma turned her head away.
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya acted in unison, and all four gazes fell on Xia Mu's face.
"Why are you all looking at me? You don't actually believe I can resonate with that Bronze City, do you?"
Xia Mu was speechless: "This is outrageous."
“No matter how outrageous things are about the dragon race, we will try to believe them,” Ye Sheng said earnestly, looking at him.
"Junior, why don't you try again?" Shudeya reached out and tugged at Natsuki's arm.
Xia Mu looked around and realized he couldn't push it open, so he said, "That's fine, but we all have to do it together."
"Uh…"
Ye Sheng and the other two looked troubled.
Ye Sheng is steady and mature, Jiu Deya is gentle and shy, and Selma has a strong sense of shame and can't bring herself to call anyone by their name.
"For the sake of the great cause of slaying the dragon, my request is not excessive, is it?" Xia Mu said seriously.
"No...not excessive..."
Ye Sheng coughed lightly: "Then let's do it together."
Shudeya and Selma looked at him together, their meaning clear: You go first.
"I…"
After a long pause, Ye Sheng finally managed to utter, "I am the King of the World..."
"Your voice isn't much louder than a mosquito's," Xia Mu retorted.
Ye Sheng coughed lightly and turned his head away.
Selma quietly tugged at Deyaki's hand, and the two exchanged a glance before speaking in unison in a clear, crisp voice: "We are the kings of the world."
"That's so perfunctory, we could do that too."
Natsuki, holding Erii's hand, said in a normal tone, "We are also the kings of the world."
"Professor, how's the signal?" Selma shouted, megaphone-like with her hands.
Call me Captain!
Professor Mans strode out of the cockpit, placed one foot on the railing, looked down at them, pointed at Xia Mu, and shouted, "Quick! That kid! Shout a few more times! It might work!"
After saying that, he ran back into the cabin.
All eyes turned back to Xia Mu's face in surprise.
Xia Mu... wants to die.
If you don't want to feel awkward, then you can only make others feel awkward.
He suddenly jumped onto the ship's railing: "I'm the king of the world!!!"
Changing the language greatly reduces the awkwardness, just like how most people feel out of place when watching movies from their own country, but enjoy watching foreign ones.
"Okay! Again! Again!"
Professor Mans' excited shouts rang out.
Xia Mu gave him a triple whammy.
"Not enough! Make the noise louder—" Professor Mans said impatiently, "We're almost there!"
Xia Mu spread his arms wide, the wind howled, and he slowly rose from the bow of the ship.
As the sun sets where the water and sky merge into one, it seems as if the world is beneath his feet.
“I'm the king——”
"of the world——"
The gale whipped up huge waves, and a massive whirlpool appeared underwater.
"Stop! Stop right now!"
Professor Mans was somewhat unexpectedly alarmed.
"What's wrong, Professor?!"
Ye Sheng and the other two quickly jumped into the cockpit. Only Ke Lian remained in place, waiting for Xia Mu to land. Then, the two of them entered the cockpit together.

"how so…"
Professor Mans muttered to himself.
"Location successful?!"
Selma exclaimed in surprise at first, then her eyes widened: "Why are we getting farther and farther apart?"
"That's right, the location of Bronze City is slowly descending. It has already descended 100 meters since the first signal was received; it was originally only 400 meters deep..."
Professor Mans turned to look at Xia Mu, his gaze full of doubt: "The louder you shout, the stronger the signal becomes, the faster Bronze City will descend, getting further and further away."
Xia Mu blinked, looking completely bewildered, her heart equally blank.
