Fangzhou, I opened an Internet cafe in Terra

Shuiyue agreed immediately.

In fact, after arriving in the Special Zone, Shuiyue’s heart was filled with curiosity.

What made Shuiyue curious was that as soon as she entered the special zone, she smelled a strong scent of Haisi.

Longmen is an inland city. Is Haisi attacking us?

It shouldn't be...

Moreover, Hai Si's breath was also very strange. In addition to Hai Si's breath, there was also a strong smell of blood.

It's not the smell of human blood, but the smell of sea blood.

In other words, there were some Hai Si who were processed here...

So Shuiyue initially planned to go to the Internet cafe to take a look. Shuiyue also knew that the Internet cafe would be closed at night, so she planned to wait until the Internet cafe closed at night before looking for Haisi's breath.

As a result, as soon as I entered the Internet cafe, I met Fu Le.

What Fu Le said also gave an answer to why there was Hai Si's aura here.

And this answer is quite reasonable.

The only special thing is how Fu Le can travel back and forth between Iberia and Longmen quickly.

So Shuiyue actually wanted to exchange some information with Fu Le.

"Are you related to the Deep Sea Church?"

Shuiyue was going through the novice tutorial and Fu Le, who had figured out something, was on Senkong Island. He suddenly spoke and asked Shuiyue this question.

As far as we know, the forces related to Haisi, apart from Haisi itself, include the Inquisition, the Deep Sea Hunters, and the Deep Sea Church.

All the people in the Inquisition are in Iberia. Shuiyue has never been to Iberia, and due to Iberia's closed-door policy, not many people leave Iberia.

Shuiyue is not a deep-sea hunter, he doesn't even know what Iberia is.

Then among the remaining forces, there is only one Deep Sea Church.

Although, he had never heard of the Deep Sea Church except for things related to Iberia.

But this does not mean that the Deep Sea Church has not extended its reach to places other than Iberia.

"I do have a connection with the Deep Sea Church."

Shuiyue answered quickly.

"I was born in a remote village near the coastline in the East."

When he heard the words "close to the coastline", Fu Le's brows furrowed slightly.

"When I was young, the village was destroyed by deserters from the nearby mountains who looted, burned and killed people."

"I was dying among the ruins and corpses, but fortunately I was saved by an old man who was traveling and took me to the nearest mobile town for treatment."

Fu Le didn't say anything and listened quietly to Shuiyue's explanation.

"In fact, that old man is a member of the Deep Sea Church."

"I am a product of their transformation."

No wonder I could feel the strong aura of Haisi on Shuiyue.

080. People and the Sea

"Cicero, one of the bishops of the Deep Sea Church."

"How many bishops are there in the Deep Sea Church? Three?"

Seaweed Head is certainly not a bishop, but after analyzing the situation on the scene, Fu Le roughly deduced a conclusion.

The church yesterday was most likely a stronghold jointly run by two deep-sea bishops.

Seaweed Head, as well as the terrifying fish at the scene, Hai Si is a subordinate of a bishop.

The transformation experiment on Laurentina and the source stone concentration placed in it were most likely the work of another bishop.

"Yes, three."

"But I only know Cicero. I have never been to Iberia. I don't even know the names of those two bishops."

"It doesn't matter whether they know it or not. I guess each of these three bishops has his own ideas, and they are different."

Although the methods are different, the word "Hai Si" is still the inescapable one at the center of the incident...

There was a brief pause in their conversation, as both of them fell into deep thought.

After a period of silence, Shuiyue spoke first.

"He was actually pretty nice to me."

"Cicero's purpose in transforming me was to pursue the evolution of mankind."

"Why do people spread suffering to their fellow human beings? Is it because of the weakness of the species' life form? Or is it because there is a lack of real bridges and communication between individuals of the species? Or is it because of the bad nature rooted in the species' foundation?"

"But in the Haisi, this problem will not occur."

It would be strange if such a problem could arise in a hive mind.

Listening to Shuiyue's story, Fu Le rolled his eyes silently.

Hive mind.

Because of the colony structure of bees, each individual in the hive has its own division of labor and spontaneously maintains the entire hive. The hive is like a whole, bringing together the thoughts of each individual.

Hai Si is such an existence.

Fu Le was also curious about why Skadi said not to use long-range weapons. After meeting Skadi this time, he got the answer.

"The whole of the sea is called a large group. The seas share a central brain, which only focuses on one thing, that is, the continuation of the sea."

"If you kill Hai Si with long-range weapons or weapons with higher technological levels, Hai Si will quickly evolve the ability to counterattack and bring about a more serious counterattack."

It does look very Cthulhu-like, but after hearing this sentence, Fu Le thought of something equally classic.

"Zerg"

Extremely strong self-healing ability, hive consciousness...

He does look very Cthulhu, but the more he delved into Hai Si's core, the more Fu Le felt that Hai Si had a Zerg feel.

However, there was one thing that Fu Le slightly disagreed with what Skadi said.

Fu Le believes that Hai Si is not "evolving", but rather more like a feeling of "memories".

Or to put it another way, Haisi is actually more like a Red Alert in which the technology level has been raised to the highest, but in fact, nothing has been built.

He was recalling how to play this game, and the attacks from others accelerated Haisi's memory of what he should build to counter the attacks from others.

While Fu Le was thinking, Shuiyue also completed the novice tutorial.

"How was it? Was it fun?"

Fu Le pulled Shuiyue closer to the team voice chat and asked Shuiyue.

“It’s very interesting. It’s a gaming experience I never thought of before.”

"Let's try a match?"

"Okay!"

Shuiyue agreed immediately. Judging from the novice tutorial, this game is very fun.

When Shuiyue heard that she was going to be matched with someone else, she immediately became happier.

"It's my great master, Boss He, this is a safe place, brothers!"

Shuiyue looked at Fu Le surrounded by the remaining three teammates and a faint smile appeared on her face.

While arranging the troops with his pistol in hand, Fu Le asked Shuiyue.

Of course, it was a private channel, not a team chat.

"What do you think of humans?"

Moreover, the fundamental conflict between humans and the sea is not about the high or low values, ideas, and beliefs.

It is a naked and straightforward struggle for survival.

"I don't know myself."

"I left Cicero, not because I ran away or anything, but because Cicero released me on his own initiative."

"He wanted me to experience the human world, so he gave me a project called 'How to Become a Better Human Being'."

"So where have you been?"

Fu Le used his pistol to kill the enemies in the bomb site, ignored the cheers of his teammates, and asked Shuiyue.

"Letania, Colombia, Bolivar, Xiosta. This time, I saw it in the game released on Senkong Island, so I was particularly interested and ran here from Xiosta."

Shuiyue started to place the bag under Fu Le's cover while she began to recall the places she had been.

“I’ve been to quite a few places.”

"not bad."

"Do you normally feel the influence of large groups on you?"

The existence of a large group allows every Haisi to communicate without any obstacles and lies.

What Hai Si calls "evolution" is actually achieved through large groups.

So Fu Le would be curious about what impact the large group would have on Shuiyue, the "isolated sea heir".

"Strangely enough, it does have an effect on normal days, especially when I'm eating."

"But as soon as I entered the Special Zone today, I felt..."

“Feeling cut off from the herd?”

"Correct."

"This matter is related to the Internet cafe. There are actually many magical things about the Internet cafe."

Shuiyue herself is confused, but in Fu Le's opinion, Shuiyue is actually on the side of humans.

So Fu Le told Fu Le everything about the Internet cafe.

"Do you have an answer now?"

"I do not know either."

"Not only will bad people easily take away everything from good people, but in the end they won't even release a bit of nutrients to make others better."

A bit of a dangerous statement.

"So you think Haisi is better."

"Boss Fu Le, why are you a diode?"

Fu Le: “…”

If I had known this, I would not have shared these words with the Terrans on Senkong Island.

"Excuse me."

This was indeed his own problem, and Fu Le apologized immediately and willingly.

"To humans, I'm probably more like a sea heir."

"But to the Hai Si, I am an outlier."

"So I am also confused and I am looking for answers."

Shuiyue also knew that this was a communication, not a one-sided request for Fu Le to ask her questions, so Shuiyue also asked Fu Le her own questions.

"Then what do you think of Hai Si, Boss Fu Le?"

"My attitude from the beginning has been only one, and that is to clean up Haisi."

"The conflict between humans and the sea is not about values, ideas, or beliefs about who is right or wrong."

"There is actually only one conflict between humans and the sea, and that is survival. Only those who survive in the end can survive."

“Humans are human because they are social.”
