Ark, I got cold a little early

……

"You're making real progress, Yu."

The dance ended. Gloria lifted her long white hair and said to Hongyu with a casual smile, "Maybe next time, we can cooperate better."

"Well... next time if there's a chance."

Hongyu turned away his eyes silently.

"Are you hesitant? Nervous? Or afraid?"

It was impossible for Gloria not to notice Hongyu's obvious eye movements. She walked to Hongyu and gently turned his face so that he had to look at her.

"Are you afraid of me?"

She opened her thin scarlet lips slightly and asked with a hint of doubt.

"No."

Hongyu immediately shook his head to deny it.

Are you kidding? How could I be afraid of you?

"Just... a little nervous."

After thinking for a while, Hongyu came up with a more reasonable explanation.

After all, I was planning to secretly meet Ishamara by myself after they all left...it would be better not to let others know.

"Why are you nervous?"

Gladia chuckled.

"I told you that I was nervous because of you. Do you believe me? I felt like you were sizing up prey at that time..."

Hongyu snorted in annoyance.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with saying this. Hongyu did shift his gaze because of Gloria's words "next dance invitation".

"I?"

Gloria tilted her head slightly, and then she showed the most evil smile since Hongyu had known her.

She reached out and lifted Hongyu's chin with a single finger, chuckled, and said, "Then please be prepared to be entangled by me for the rest of your life, Mr. Prey."

"Okay, okay, Miss Hunter."

Next time, if I have the chance, I'll dance with you again.

(A world where only Skadi doesn't dare to play straight has been realized)

……

The day before the operation, Hongyu found Ulpian.

"Ulpian."

"What? You're not going to be affectionate with those girls anymore?"

Ulpian looked at Hongyu with a sidelong glance, and his tone couldn't help but carry a hint of contempt.

He had looked for this guy more or less in the past few days, and it turned out that this guy would refresh around the women around him on time every day.

"Tsk, sometimes what you say can really make people's fists harden, you know?"

Hongyu curled his lips and said, "What do you mean by affectionate?"

"Okay, okay, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Ulpian interrupted Hongyu and asked directly.

"Tomorrow, be careful. Oh, and take good care of Skadi from now on."

"it is good."

Although he was curious about why Hongyu suddenly said this to him, Ulpian nodded and agreed to his request.

"Thanks."

With a relieved smile, Hongyu thanked Ulpian.

"What? You want me to write a personal chapter for Ulpian? Wouldn't that be a bit too emotional? Forget it."

[Well, actually, the main reason is that I can't come up with it if I force myself to write it. After all, imagining two grown men... is a bit of a stretch.]

So, it would be fine if Ulpian only appeared at the end of Gloria's solo episode.

Chapter 64: Ishamara: “Hongyu, long time no see.”

The deep-sea hunters' operation began soon after, and Hongyu did not participate in this operation under the arrangement of Gloria.

After all the other deep-sea hunters were dispatched, Hongyu also began his own action.

He took advantage of the fact that there were no other deep-sea hunters in the city and came to the border where they started.

"Sir, during this time you should..."

"Don't remember I was here."

Hongyu took off his glasses, and his eyes turned from red to gray-blue again. After looking at him, the border guard let him go as if he didn't notice Hongyu.

Following his memory, Hongyu chose the route he took the last time he heard Isamara speaking in his mind.

And sure enough, not long after Hongyu moved forward, he heard that familiar voice again.

【Hongyu, come to me, you will get the result you want. 】

What result do I want?

Hongyu frowned.

What outcome do I want? For Skadi and the others to live a good life? No more worrying about that little thing between Agor and you, Haisi?

You just want a good ending.

Shit? You can read minds?!

You are still the same as before in some ways.

In what aspect? Before what?

……

Hey! Someone... no, where's Kaisi?!

Tsk, no reply?

So where am I going to find you?

Just follow your intuition.

Isn't this still there?!

say!

……

Hey!

He curled his lips and found that it seemed to be just like that group member who often lurk in the group you created and said "hiding" and then really kept silent. Hongyu had no choice but to follow Isamara's words and follow his intuition to start walking around blindly.

Follow my intuition?

This hint is quite ambiguous.

Although he really wanted to curse the Riddler, Hongyu held back, considering that there was nothing around and cursing might sound like an idiot.

After he followed his so-called intuition and walked for about a few thousand meters, he found that the number of sea snakes around him seemed to be gradually increasing, but none of them seemed to show any intention of attacking him.

Is it you, Ishamara?

Thinking of this, Hongyu walked towards the area where the Haisi were most concentrated.

As expected, surrounded by large circles of sea monsters, Hongyu saw the giant sea monster he had seen last time.

"Ishamara?"

With a hint of doubt, Hongyu asked.

"Hongyu, long time no see."

The ethereal voice entered Hongyu's ears, but unlike before, it did not appear directly in his mind, but was actually heard by his ears.

So you can talk, then why do you always make sounds in my head?

In the moment when Hongyu was stunned, Isamara's huge body gradually shrank, and finally, under Hongyu's dull gaze, it turned into an appearance that he was very familiar with.

"Why are you wearing Skadi's appearance?"

Hongyu frowned slightly.

"Isn't this your original design for my appearance? Although it was later changed to the previous one by [Dr. Luo]*."

Isamara tilted her head slightly, then explained.

(The Luo here is not the doctor we are familiar with. Luo is the scientist in charge of the Deep Blue Tree Project in the previous civilization)

"I?"

Hongyu was a little surprised. "You said I designed your current appearance?!"

I'm from the pre-civilization era? And I was even involved in a project related to Hai Si back then?! I even designed a model of Didi's appearance for Ishamara?!

"Ah."

Isamara nodded, then added, "Even Miss Doctor has a personality module on my body, waiting to be activated."

"Wait wait wait wait! Let me take a wisp..."

Hongyu rubbed his temples, a look of confusion on his face.

"Wait a minute, so I'm actually from a pre-civilization? Then why don't I have any memory of any of this?"

Although if that were the explanation, then I could understand why Kaisi didn't have the desire to attack me, but it still...

What a bizarre development.

"I don't know either, but in my impression, you are already dead."

Isamara said bluntly.

"..."

Hongyu blinked, then asked curiously: "So... what is that personality module you just mentioned?"

"Is it allowed to carry a personality module?"
