Zongman, can you be immortal with me for the rest of your life?

"I don't know. But it tastes a bit like... nothing."

Kerry felt that the taste was somewhat similar to the seafood he had eaten first, which gave them immortality, the orphan of the ancient god.

The two found an anomaly, but they were not sure whether it was related to Yuuki, nor were they sure what the situation was, but they immediately called a team meeting.

[Kerry: How are you guys doing? We've discovered something unusual here.]

[Sato Kazuma: Are you anxious? ]

[Kerry: No rush, go to Kasai Park first]

If they were in a hurry, they would probably find a place to crawl into the sewer and commit suicide.

Half an hour later, the four of them gathered.

Kerry and Xiangzi explained their findings to the two of them.

"In that aquarium?"

Kazuma rubbed his chin in embarrassment. It might not be the aquarium, it could also be...

Kerry pointed toward the ocean.

After all, the staff member said that the box was connected to the surrounding sea areas.

Now He Zhen, the military strategist, was in a dilemma.

"Then let's wait here until nightfall, or if all else fails we can spend the night over there.

Don’t waste the time in between, let’s just walk around this park.”

Kazuma pointed to the Edogawa Hotel over there.

Kerry and the others nodded, and everyone turned around and dispersed towards the park with their equipment on their backs.

But no one noticed that the Moon Forest Girl Agent was looking at them among the tourists.

Just now, Nagasaki Suyo's mother received a phone call. Suddenly, she had a business to discuss. She gave her some money and left with an apology.

If it were any other time, Nagasaki Suyo would definitely say that everything was fine, but she would feel empty inside.

But now, she just felt that the chains that bound her were finally loosened!

Now that her mother was gone, she didn't have to worry about it.

She followed Kirito and Kazuma all the way, and sure enough, she saw Xiaoxiang again. Su Shi discovered that they seemed to be looking for something.

But it doesn’t matter to her. No matter what Xiaoxiang is looking for, she can just wait until Xiaoxiang is alone and then go and ask him what happened!

So she sneaked into the crowd and walked in the direction Xiangzi left.

Xiangzi was going to go back to the aquarium to note the exact location of the fish tank, while Chris checked with her on the wooden bridge outside the aquarium.

However, both of them have overlooked one problem. That is, if it is a glass leading to the ocean, even if the light is not turned on, it should not be black in such a shallow water level.

Chapter 169: The Giant in Tokyo Bay.

The crowd gradually faded away, and a few people went against the crowd and hid in a sparsely populated area.

The glass door of the aquarium gradually closed, and the sky gradually darkened, until the entire park, except for the hotel, fell into silence.

Most tourists who have spent the day traveling go to the center of Tokyo to eat and drink, and this kind of park also welcomes residents from the surrounding area to walk their dogs. When it is time for those who don't stay up late to rest, the entire seaside park becomes completely quiet.

On the coast, next to the public piano that was crowded with people during the day, only a blue-haired girl gently opened the piano cover.

The four of them had been searching here for a whole day. They had walked through two-thirds of the park, except for some places that tourists were not allowed to enter, but they had found nothing except crowds of people.

This experience is likely to disappoint many tourists, but this is normal, just like the famous Thousand Torii Gates of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, which is a unique and magnificent sight in various animations and pictures.

But if you really go there, you will find that it is just like looking at people's heads under a thousand torii gates. If it is summer, you will have to smell the stench of sweat.

The few people who got nothing chose to wait here until dawn.

Xiangzi glanced at the piano, and many memories flooded her mind. She had been practicing piano since she was a child, but the last time she played the piano was a few months ago, when the band had not yet disbanded.

Unable to resist the itch, the black silk gloves danced on the piano keys.

"Thum! Thug! Thumb!"

"Debussy - Girl with Flaxen Hair" sounded at her fingertips. If all this had not happened, perhaps when spring comes next year, she will play this song in the music classroom of the Yugaoka Wind Band, and a pink-haired girl will applaud her after hearing it and ask her if she wants to join the band.

I don't know if she was really thinking of a flaxen-haired girl when she played, but if she had night vision, she would probably find that a flaxen-haired girl was actually nearby.

Xiangzi's thoughts drifted to the shout on the overpass a few months ago with the sound of the piano. His waist swayed slightly with the music, like a sea lily swaying on the seabed.

Want to be human.

I guess I've become a human being now? I've grown up.

It's just... like the little mermaid who traded her voice for human legs.

From being carefree, I grew into being heartbroken every day.

From being satisfied with what we have, we have become greedy and never satisfied.

From ignorance, I grew into a person full of concerns.

From feeling at ease, to being extremely worried.

From happiness, it grew into pain.

I can't tell whether I have grown from a puppet whose behavior is far from the standard of "human" to a human being.

Or all its own characteristics and edges have been worn away, and it has transformed from a carefree human being living in the Garden of Eden to a puppet controlled by desires living on Earth.

Listening to the melodious piano music of Toyokawa Shoko, not far away, Chris, who was sitting on the handrail to prevent people from falling into the sea and looking at the sea, also swept his eyes across the sea.

Tokyo Bay is not a clean sea area. Regardless of how many people have sunk their bodies to the bottom of the sea for no reason, the water here is seriously polluted due to the frequent comings and goings of merchant ships and cruise ships. Although you can still see the clear sea from above, if you go deep into the seabed you can probably see tons of garbage. However, since the storm has just swept through here, the sea surface is not very clean now. Various plastic products and foams that have not been cleaned up all day or the wreckage of small boats are floating on it.

Kerry looked at the deep sea that had become pitch black due to the lack of light, and recalled the feeling during the day. He was like a fisherman waiting for the fish to bite, hoping that he would not come up empty-handed tonight.

"Boom!"

After Xiangzi finished playing the song, he also walked to the coast and leaned on the railing not far from Keri, looking at the Tokyo Bay over there.

From here you can see the hilltop of Totsuki Academy, and you can also see the Disney Ferris wheel which is still lit up, and I wonder if it's flashing lights as if it's being customized for a couple's love confession scene.

But some people are already getting a little anxious waiting.

Nagasaki Suyo was hiding far away in the shadows with a very conflicted expression.

She hadn't found any chance to see Xiangzi alone the whole day.

Except for the moment when she entered the aquarium, she was out before she could even queue up to buy a ticket. Her Xiaoxiang was like a guard, always guarding the boy with the bass bag, and never leaving him more than 5 meters.

Nagasaki Suyo once suspected that Xiaoxiang gave up the band because he was in love.

But it didn't look like that. The two of them didn't talk much, and there was no intimate action. But Xiangzi just stayed near the boy, observing his surroundings all the time like a guard.

She just saw the other two boys carrying instrument bags seemed to be going to the hotel, probably to prepare a place for them to spend the night.

She couldn't bear it any longer. She didn't want outsiders to see her conversation with Xiaoxiang, but if this continued, it would be over once they both went to the hotel.

I can only...

Nagasaki Suyo made up her mind and stepped out of the shadows.

But just when she was halfway there, the two people over there both adopted strange postures as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Coastside.

The pupils of the two people looking at the seaside trembled.

They saw that it might be the real body of the thing that gave them a powerful feeling during the day.

Beneath the pitch-black sea surface, a deeper and larger black shadow vaguely emerged from the bottom of the water.

It caused a surge of waves around.

The surging waves alone were no less than ten meters long, as if a killer whale had come to the shore of the shallow sea to breathe.

However, the part that is exposed above the sea is not the body of the whale, but a bunch of "thorns" that shine with metallic luster under the moonlight.

It doesn't seem right to call them thorns, as each one is as thick as a javelin at the bottom, but when they appear in groups, they give people the feeling that they are the thorns on the back of a hedgehog or porcupine.

The thing just flashed by, as if it stretched out something and looked at the two of them in confusion.

I asked them why they were still here and why they didn't leave.

But that was all, and then those things disappeared into the sea again.

But just by seeing that thing, both of them felt that some information and images entered their minds, but Xiangzi only had a vague understanding of those contents and could not understand their specific expressions.

"Oh, this is a real feast."

Kerry did understand some of the information, but they were all sounds without word order, just like a person yawning. It was impossible to analyze from this yawn what he wanted to express other than being sleepy.

However, this also made Kerry at least certain that the other party should definitely be called a god if called according to certain terms.

Kerry turned his head and looked at Xiangzi.

"Do you know if there's any place nearby that sells diving equipment? We can buy some and then have Kazuma and the others go down and take a look."

Chapter 170 This is bad luck.

While the two were discussing, a sound of footsteps appeared in the deserted park.

The two looked back and saw a girl with long flaxen hair wearing a white patterned casual dress and small leather shoes appearing under a street light not far away.

Nagasaki Suyo? When did you come?

Kerry looked at the other person's big watery blue eyes reflecting the light under the street light, and a canned laugh seemed to ring in his ears.

It made him feel very uncomfortable.

Xiangzi's expression was not so good. She was stunned at first, and then her face fell in an instant, her eyebrows raised, and her golden eyes narrowed into a dangerous slit.

"Xiao Xiang..."

The other party called out softly, and the sweet sound of the clip made people dizzy.

Some people with social anxiety who pretend to be sociable will instinctively lower their voices when trying to please others in social situations.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

As he was speaking, the person came forward.

Xiangzi originally wanted to pretend that he didn't see it, but he didn't expect that his perfect disguise would be seen through so quickly.

The heaviness in my heart deepened, and I felt that it would not end in a dignified way at least.

However, after the heaviness came a wave of anxiety. This was not a safe place. It was the hunting ground of the undead and the habitat of monsters. The main purpose of her saying those words was to make them give up and not have any intersection with her in the future. But this lingering female ghost still appeared in front of her, and at this time.

"Are you following me? Why are you here? Get out of here!"

In his anxiety, Xiangzi spoke a little inappropriately.

The words were a bit scolding, and Su Shi, who had a sweet smile on her face, was stunned.

Nagasaki Suyo clenched her fists. It had not yet been a year since her silence ended, and all she wanted was an answer.

"Xiao Xiang...what's wrong with you? I...shouldn't I have come? I...I wasn't following you, I just happened to see you. I apologize.

But I want to ask, did Xiaoxiang form a new band? And Xiaoxiang also dropped out of school, is it our fault?

Nagasaki Suyo leaned forward, raised her hands, and pretended to want to have a good talk.

What she actually wanted to ask was, why did they have to form other bands? Couldn't CRYCHIC be the only one? Could others be the only ones?

Why did you leave without saying goodbye and say those words?

But Su Shi, who has a people-pleasing personality, all the grievances and questions that she has been holding in her heart become her fault when they come out of her mouth.

Xiangzi knew that Nagasaki Suyo was not wrong, it was his own problem.

But I couldn't explain it to her.

Maybe in Nagasaki Suyo's eyes, this was just a meeting of old friends in the park at night, but she wanted to get Nagasaki Suyo away from this place as soon as possible.

Two people who don't want to hurt each other are hurting each other.
