reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

-------------------------------------

In the end, White Night still failed to let Ghost Shark get what he wanted.

He did not show favoritism, but chose to treat everyone equally.

Since Gretya deliberately avoided her, all three of them had a great time.

However, Specter Shark did not forget Gladys's words, and they ended the seemingly endless battle at night.

After taking a shower, the three of them changed into clean clothes and sheets and lay down on the big bed.

“Sometimes, I think, if we can never go back to our hometown, and we are blocked on land by the sea, it’s not such a bad thing,” Ghost Shark said suddenly, looking at the ceiling.

Bai Ye and Skadi listened quietly without saying a word.

“Only after experiencing hell can one understand how fortunate one is to have this life now… Yes, you can never have too much of this feeling.” Ghost Shark said, snuggling her head into White Night’s arms.

Bai Ye nodded: "Yes, that's how humans are. Sometimes, too much happiness can make people nauseous, but even so, people still have to swallow their happiness."

"But, after all, we are hunters. We can't abandon our hometown. As long as this disaster is not resolved, we hunters cannot back down, even if we are the last one left."

Ghost Shark softly expressed his concerns.

Deep-sea hunters are not machines; they have feelings and they get tired. Those who fight monsters should be careful not to become monsters themselves.

Fortunately, both hunters seem to have found spiritual solace and are not easily driven to madness.

“White Night, you should help Greta too,” Skadi suddenly said. “Swordfish, ever since I first met her, her expression has never changed.”

"It's still the same now... but I can sense that she's forcing herself. This is not a good sign."

"She was very tired."

Skadi said softly.

"I understand." Bai Ye nodded.

He had no reason to refuse Skadi.

Skadi smiled contentedly. In her eyes, there were only three Deepsea Hunters left in the world, and she didn't want to lose any more of her blood relatives.

-------------------------------------

At some point, Bai Ye opened her eyes.

The endless sound of the tide filled his ears, and the seawater was gently caressing his ankles.

Looking up, the two moons seemed almost within reach, hovering close to the sky above the earth, and the craters above them were even clearly visible.

Bai Ye stood up with practiced ease.

Sure enough, he came here again.

It's unclear whether Daqun approached him or he approached Daqun.

From initial vigilance and tension to current relaxation, it feels like returning home.

"The hunter is going home."

An ethereal voice rang in Bai Ye's ears.

Without even turning around, I knew it was Isamara.

In the past, White Night would have been furious at the way He used Skadi, but now, it just felt strange.

Sometimes, he even wondered if it would feel strange to have Skadi wear this outfit.

After all, it is a very gorgeous outfit.

……

Bai Ye walked to the seaside.

You probably haven't seen the ocean with your own eyes yet, have you?

Isamara walked beside him, her bare feet covered in fine white sand, which she then washed clean in the seawater.

That's not entirely wrong, since Bai Ye hadn't gone directly to the beach on his previous trips to Iberia. He mostly frequented churches and their underground areas.

However, Baiye had seen the real sea.

That was truly boundless, truly azure.

"Well, who knows?" Bai Ye replied vaguely.

Isamara didn't delve into it further, because she knew something about the origins of White Night from these silver sealing chains.

Perhaps, He or She is the one who understands White Night the most, even Skadi and Specter cannot compare to Him.

For almost half of the time after she transmigrated, she stayed by Bai Ye's side.

After a moment of silence, Isamara spoke again: "This time, you will get what you want."

"Is this... a prophecy?"

Isamara didn't speak, she just shook her head.

Bai Ye smiled and said, "Then let's take it as a blessing from the goddess."

Although this goddess is not a proper deity.

“Don’t feel guilty,” Isamara added. “The survival of individuals is irrelevant. What we care about is the group as a whole.”

"Therefore, even fellow countrymen can be used as food and nourishment."

"If you want to harm your fellow countrymen, you can kill them."

Isamara's voice was gentle and light, but her words were filled with the cruelty of survival.

Am I special?

Bai Ye smiled.

Isamara nodded seriously: "Whether as a newborn or as a human, you are indispensable."

Isamara possesses the power to migrate, and her natural instinct to adapt and evolve makes her yearn for the sky.

Perhaps, the starry sky is the true home of the flock.

And Bai Ye, naturally, is the one who can lead the species towards the starry sky.

The power that had previously sealed her away also made Isamara feel threatened and fearful.

She had a premonition that if Bai Ye died prematurely, something terrible would happen, and the future of Daqun would come to an abrupt end.

Therefore, Isamara will ensure the survival of the White Nights no matter what.

-------------------------------------

When Baiye woke up, Ghost Shark was already getting dressed.

She took off her tutu, put on a nun's habit, wore a headscarf, and hung a chain and cross on her head.

Goredia stood outside the door, arms crossed, scrutinizing them.

Bai Ye sighed softly and slowly sat up, surprised to find herself being the last to wake up.

Ghost Shark picked up the circular saw, folded it along with the specially made saw blade, and hid it in the instrument case.

Then she turned around and looked at Bai Ye with a smile.

"Don't worry about me, protect Skadi. I have the captain to protect me."

Yes, after leaving Baiye, she will gradually enter that state of her past until she returns to the seaside, at which point she will recover.

Bai Ye nodded, suddenly remembering Isamara's words from last night.

He looked at Laurentina and said seriously, "Shark, this time, we'll find what we're looking for."

Is this a prophecy?

Ghost Shark raised the cross on his chest.

Bai Ye didn't say anything.

"Then let it be a blessing, a blessing from the White Night."

Chapter Sixteen Tulips

(Azur Lane CN server, that's what made me laugh today)

-------------------------------------

Salt Wind City.

A tiny, insignificant town on the Iberian coast. Like other coastal towns, it could be swallowed by the sea at any moment.

A tiny, insignificant place.

However, this is also the answer given by Dr. Kal'tsit, and the end of this journey for White Night and the Deep Sea Hunters.

Specter and Gladys had already set off ahead, heading to Saltwind City to find their target, as agreed.

Regardless, they were determined to infiltrate the Deep Sea Church. Although it sounded crazy, with Ghost Shark involved, the church's followers wouldn't be willing to give up this only remaining experimental result.

However, Bai Ye and Skadi did not immediately get up and head to Saltwind City.

Bai Ye first opened the game system panel, and then issued exploration quests to players through the Adventurers' Guild.

[“The Starting Point for Exploring the Deep Blue”]

Category: Exploration Mission

Description: There is a mysterious kingdom by the sea. It was once glorious, and it also fell into ruin in an instant. Perhaps you have heard someone mention this word—"Great Tranquility".

Explore this mysterious kingdom and uncover its hidden secrets.

Note: Iberia does not welcome you. All players entering its territory will receive a natural reputation level of "Neutral." Any inappropriate behavior may lead to hostility.

……

Yes, White Night has released the players.

He had a feeling that this time they might cause a big commotion.

This was enough to alarm the Iberian Tribunal and the Punishment Army.

Or perhaps, they were already being watched by the court last time.

This time, it's very likely we won't be able to avoid it.

Bai Ye plans to first send players to stir up trouble in Iberia and draw the attention of the Inquisition.

This is also the player's greatest role.

Moreover, Iberia, which has been flooded with players, may become more accepting of outsiders—and of course, it may also become more irritable.

Bai Ye simply didn't want to be targeted by those religious fanatics so early.

They are even harder to talk to than Goredia; they may not be able to tolerate White Night's theory—peaceful coexistence with Hai Si.

Dr. Kal'tsit is right. Although they possess great power, that is not a reason for the White Nights to run rampant without restraint.

This world is very complex; besides giant beasts and beast lords, there are many other ridiculously powerful beings.

For example, Bai Ye can indeed change the celestial phenomena and avert natural disasters in an instant, but there are also people in the Great Yan who can do it easily.

Wei Yanwu once told him that if there were continuous rainy days, the old master of the Great Yan would complain that his knees could not withstand the dampness and cold, so he would casually fan himself with his old palm-leaf fan.

In the blink of an eye, the clouds dispersed, the fog lifted, and the rain receded.

This has an almost identical effect to the celestial manipulation during the day.

Bai Ye was stunned when Wei Yanwu said that.

He hadn't expected that the magic arts and celestial masters of the Great Yan Dynasty would be so advanced.

From then on, Bai Ye began to act cautiously.

……

What Bai Ye didn't expect was that the wave of players entering Iberia would also spark a "gold rush" among the native bounty hunters.

These bounty hunters kept a close eye on the players' movements. When they discovered that these undead were starting to inquire about Iberia and looking for ways to infiltrate it, they became even more convinced of the legend that Iberia possessed treasure.

After all, players are notorious for never leaving empty-handed; even if they have nothing, they can still squeeze some oil out of you.
