"—kill the gods there."
————————————————————————————
Earth.
Under the sea near the Golden Courtyard.
“Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp~~~~~”
The moment she jumped into the ocean, Vita immediately felt the sound of bubbles rising and bursting in her ears, and a feeling of dampness came from all directions and enveloped her body.
Let me explain here - Vita is not a very good swimmer.
Although she was not a landlubber and could float around in the pool, she was not capable of swimming a few laps. After all, she had not been to the beach in seven years and had always stayed in an air-conditioned room in the summer.
This was Vita's first time in the sea.
And just at the moment when Vita wanted to hold her breath, a blue light suddenly flew in front of her from a distance, swam around her and then sank into her chest.
"Okay, now relax and talk and breathe, okay?"
"...Huh? Tiger?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Vita quickly looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Xia Chuanhu, who was not wearing any equipment, swimming towards her. At this moment, Vita was extremely shocked to realize a fact - she had just spoken in the sea without the help of any props? !
Even breathing now?!
"It seems that [Poseidon's Protection] is very effective." Xiachuanhu said with a smile.
"Poseidon's protection?"
"You could say it's the blessing of the sea god. I used to be very familiar with Poseidon, the sea god in Greek mythology. As a symbol of friendship, he shared many of his permissions with me, and I just transferred a small part of the permissions to you. Now you can move freely in the sea just like you can on land."
Xia Chuanhu explained.
And Vita also tried to move while listening.
(Indeed... except for the fact that there was no landing place under my feet, I felt almost no discomfort. It was like walking in my own home?)
"If you are used to it, follow me. Our destination is just ahead."
"Wait, wait, Tiger, could you please explain yourself clearly first?"
Vita quickly grabbed Xia Chuanhu and said, "What did you mean by bringing me here to find out the mystery of my origins? Is there anything in this sea related to me?"
32. The Abyss of the Quantum Ocean
Not long ago, or just now.
Vita, who was still playing billiards in the billiard area of the cruise ship, was suddenly found by Xiachuan Hu.
[I found a clue that may be closely related to your life experience. Do you want to come with me? ]
Vita knew very well that Xia Chuan Hu was definitely not a person who would act without a purpose, so she followed him back to the room without thinking too much. She picked out a swimsuit that was easy to move in according to Xia Chuan Hu's request, and then she hurriedly followed Xia Chuan Hu to the deck.
However, because Xiachuanhu was so fast, Vita arrived a little later.
[The clue is in the sea, just jump down and I will catch you]
This is what Xia Chuanhu told her.
Although she didn't know what he was planning, Vita jumped into the sea happily, thinking that her own Xiachuanhu would never harm her.
And now-
"That's what it means literally."
Xiachuanhu pointed to the ocean around them.
"Do you remember the clues I found about you when we first met?"
"You are a resident of a bubble in the quantum sea that was destroyed due to collapse. That bubble was also destroyed seven years ago in the impact that swept the quantum sea. As the last survivor, you and your laboratory floated up from the quantum sea and drifted to the place where we met."
This was the identity of Vita that Xiachuan Hu knew at that time.
This is also the identity that Vita knows herself as.
"In the past seven years, we have never paid much attention to your background. After all, you came from the Quantum Sea, and the world bubble you lived in has indeed disappeared. In addition, there is no way to travel to the Quantum Sea. More importantly, neither you nor I have the extra time... No, correction, it's me who doesn't have the time, and you have plenty of time."
"Hey!"
Vita immediately protested: "I'm busy too, okay?"
"Busy playing games? Farming for rare materials or fighting in guild wars? Or squatting to grab limited rewards?"
"Uh~~~both!"
"I knew it - let's get back to the point." Xia Chuanhu looked in a direction not far away, "Although I don't intend to investigate your identity too much, after all, in my opinion, no matter how exaggerated your identity and past are, you are just a member of my family now, a parasite who has been eating and drinking for free in my house for seven years."
"But...you can understand it as a kind of intuition."
Taking Vita's hand, Xiachuanhu swam with her in that direction.
"I trust my intuition very much. My intuition has saved me countless times in the past. My intuition tells me that if I don't find out who the real Vita is, you will disappear from my house sooner or later."
"Disappear...me?"
After hearing what Xia Chuanhu said, Vita's face became solemn.
But more of it was astonishment and disbelief.
(I will... disappear in Natsukawa's house?)
This was a question Vita had never thought about.
Just as Xia Chuanhu said, she had lived in his house for seven years. Although she basically ate and drank for free, she would do some housework within her ability and try her best to help solve any problems at home. And in these seven years, even though many people suggested that she go out and find a job, no one had ever asked her to leave.
Therefore, Vita has always believed that she would stay in the Xiachuan family.
She had no reason to leave the Xiachuan family.
But now... the words that came out of Xiachuanhu's mouth made Vita's heart beat faster because of nervousness, and a possibility she had never thought of emerged in her mind.
(Could it be that... Tiger wants to chase me away?)
(After knowing who I am, Tiger wants to... drive me away?)
There are two situations in which one can be made to disappear.
One is that the person disappears on his own, and the other is that someone takes the initiative to make the person disappear.
Since Vita never thought of disappearing in Xiachuan's house, the remaining possibility is...
"Tiger!"
Pulling Xiachuanhu's hand hard, Vita shouted to him.
The sudden shout made Xia Chuanhu turn his head in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"You, you...you're not going to chase me away, are you?"
"......ah?"
"It's true that I lived and ate for free in your house for seven years, but...but I can cook! I can also wash clothes and mop the floor, I can do all the housework! From now on, I will wash my own clothes and cook my own meals. I don't need you to wake me up every day, and I won't ask you to borrow money to buy new prizes when a new prize pool is opened--"
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Before Vita could finish her words, Xia Chuanhu interrupted her: "Stop it, Vita. What's wrong with you? Why are you talking about this all of a sudden? Is there something wrong with your brain? Is there really water in it? That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that Poseidon's authority has been broken because it hasn't been used for too long?"
"I'm not stupid! You're stupid!" Vita pinched Xia Chuanhu's hand, "I just..."
"Do you think I want to kick you out?"
"Right...eh?"
Vita looked up in surprise as she heard the same words as she had thought. Xia Chuan Hu stretched out his hands with a helpless look on his face, pinched both sides of her cheeks and pulled hard.
“————It hurts!”
"It's good that it hurts. It will make your crazy mind clear up." Xia Chuanhu patted Vita's head. "I never thought of driving you away. Even if you are a simple parasite who stays at home for seven years and doesn't go out to work, and asks me for pocket money every ten days to buy glue... but you are still my family after all."
"I will never abandon my family at any time - but I have taken note of what you just said. You must fulfill your promise when you return home."
"..."
Vita was touched for less than a second before she sank into the bottomless abyss because of the second half of his words: "Tiger... I was kidding. Washing clothes is fine, but it would be too painful if I couldn't eat the food you cooked! At least you have to cook for me three meals a day, and I definitely can't get up in the morning. If you come to call me - it hurts!"
After another knife-handed move interrupted Vita's regret, Xia Chuanhu gently touched her hair: "Let's talk about it after we get back. Now focus on what's happening in front of you. We can already see it."
"See? See what?"
Vita looked in the direction Xiachuanhu pointed.
The sea was pitch black at night, and the two were now more than two hundred meters away from the sea, so the surrounding environment could be said to be completely pitch black.
But even in such a dark environment, for some reason, Vita still clearly saw what Xiachuan Hu wanted her to see.
"—————————!"
The sea was so quiet that there was not even a trace of unnecessary sound.
As if the [sea] itself was torn apart, a huge [crack] about a hundred meters long now quietly floated in the sea, emitting the same light as the sea during the day.
"That is......?"
"It is the gateway to the quantum ocean."
Xiachuanhu took Vita's hand and came to the [crack].
"Next, we will pass through this crack into the Quantum Ocean, and then... I will thoroughly find out who the real Vita is there."
33. Don't worry and be afraid
Let me first talk about something that is a little distantly related.
From Xia Chuanhu's own perspective, he believed that he already had a general understanding of the overall plan of World Snake this time.
——By opening the channel to the quantum sea, using the quantum shadow to test Golden Princess's combat ability
——Through the magic eyes of Golden Princess, all passengers on the cruise ship who were not members of the World Snake became fanatics who pledged allegiance to the World Snake.
The reason for the latter conjecture is that Xiachuan Hu felt a sense of déjà vu from Huang Jinji's magic eyes.
He knows many people with magic eyes, and he himself has a magic eye, so he has done a lot of research on magic eyes. If the magic eye itself can be regarded as a subject, then he is an expert in magic eyes. Based on his experience, he speculates that Huang Jinji's magic eye is probably related to the effects of [mind control], [hypnosis], [charm], etc.
After all, Eden, the prototype of the Golden Princess, was the most shining star of the pre-civilization and represented the highest artistic level of that era. If described by the concept of creative science, then Eden was the [ultimate beauty] of the pre-civilization.
As a clone, in order to reproduce the ultimate beauty of Eden, Mary thought of the solution of the magic eye. Because even with the resources of the World Serpent, it is quite difficult to completely reproduce the Golden Princess in this world. First of all, the most important magic base cannot be completed. The Golden Princess and the Silver Princess are a kind of great magic in themselves.
Of course, Huang Jin Ji's matter is not that important. Although Mei Li probably really intended to let Xia Chuan Hu and Huang Jin Ji meet, the reason why she went through so much trouble to invite him to this ship was definitely not just to let him meet Huang Jin Ji.
Sakura said that none of the tasks she was in charge of had anything to do with Natsukawa Tora. From this, it can be seen that, at least in matters related to Golden Princess, Natsukawa Tora was not absolutely necessary to appear.
The part that requires him to appear is the current situation.
In order to test Golden Princess's ability, the World Serpent somehow opened the door to the Quantum Sea and released the Quantum Shadow. This passage that has remained in place and has not yet closed is the [Plan] that Meili really prepared for Xiachuanhu... or for Xiachuanhu and Vita.
(You've been watching me for seven years, haven't you, Mellie?)
Xiachuan Hu can be sure of this.
As a magician with the title of Grand Master, Meili possesses a special ability called "Clairvoyance". Although she cannot see the past or the future, she can see everything in the present. As long as she has the idea, she can watch Xiachuan Hu 24 hours a day.
Therefore, she could freely make plans that would make him act according to her wishes no matter what. After all, with her clairvoyance, she didn't have to worry about being found.
(The plan with Golden Princess is just a prelude. You are sure that I will bring Vita here after I realize the existence of this passage.)
(Because you know that Vita's identity is not simple, and you also know that I will act for Vita. I am afraid that when Chaos and I met, you were also watching the whole process.)
It is because Mary always takes the lead that she knows everything.
And now, behind this gate leading to the Quantum Sea, there are things that Meili prepared for Xiachuanhu and Vita.
"Grrrrrrrrrr~~~~~~!"
Suddenly, a strange sound was heard in the dark ocean.
