"What do you mean, Captain? Do you want to salvage something?" Shibata Kazuki's hearty smile was restrained a lot at this time, and he was no longer so carefree.
"There are no survivors," Furukawa Watari stared at the ruins with grim eyes, "but it's worth a look."
After saying that, he took two steps back and unbuttoned his brown captain's robe with his hands, revealing his brown tendon muscles.
He twisted his neck, turned to Shibata Kazuki, and said with a serious expression:
"The bridge of the Blue Reef is yours. Organize the crew and prepare for a major salvage operation until I return."
"Got it," Shibata Kazuki bowed, then turned around, opened his arms and shouted to the sailors who were watching, "Hey! Get your weapons ready!"
Did they hand over control of the ship to the first mate without any warning? Perlis glanced at the brown-muscled Furukawa Watari and immediately felt the unity of the Blue Reef.
After all, this is the center of the ocean. If the first mate decided to defect temporarily, there would be no chance of survival for Furukawa Wataru who went into the water.
"..."
After arranging a series of matters, Furukawa Wataru boarded the boat and prepared to go to the ruins on the ocean current.
At this moment, Perlis felt someone patting her from behind. She turned around and saw that it was Aoi, who was smiling:
"How about it? Chunbai, do you want to go swimming together?"
Swimming...? Perlis looked at Aoi in silence, then shook her head firmly:
“I don’t want to get wet.”
"Don't you have a factor shield?" Aoi looked at Perlis with a smile, "It's a shipwreck ruin, there may be treasure inside! Maybe this is an explorer's ship!"
"This is an official waterway. How could there be explorers..." Perlis shook her head speechlessly, "I don't want to go into the water."
"Come on, I'll go with you. You haven't swum since you came to the sea~"
"No."
"Let's go~"
"I already said no..."
Perlis kept rejecting Aoi, feeling helpless and continued to look at the ruins with indifferent eyes.
Suddenly, she felt a strong intuition, as if something was burning in her blood.
What's going on...? Perlis felt something was a little strange, so she instinctively lit up the halo in her bloodshot eyes and looked towards the ruins of the sunken ship.
At this moment, her pupils shrank slightly——
——In the ruins of the shipwreck, there are traces of a large amount of factor energy flowing!
The factor energy flowed in the form of strips, continuously extending below the sea surface, pointing to the indescribable darkness.
Looking into the dark abyss, Perlis's heart was pounding. The further her sight extended, the more the halo in her eyes flickered.
At a certain moment, she suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis——
——It was as if she was looking directly into a huge eye in the abyss!
"Well!"
Just as if her head was hit by a sledgehammer, Perlis staggered back two steps, the halo in her eyes flashing wildly.
She wiped her nose and found a little blood on her fingertips.
How come...?
"Eh? Are you okay?"
Aoi saw Perlis trembling slightly, and her smile faded immediately. She quickly supported Perlis and patted her back:
"Heatstroke? Or something? Did you eat something wrong? Why is your nose bleeding? Let me take a look, are you dizzy? Do you feel like vomiting?"
Aoi was talking nonsense while taking out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiping the blood from Pearlis' nose. Pearlis was still recalling the fear just now in astonishment, and her mind felt blank.
What is that? Where is it? Among the wreckage?
What is beneath the surface of the sea?
Perlis was breathing slightly. She tried her best to steady her breathing and then stood firm on her feet.
When her sight came into focus, she found Aoi looking at her with a worried look on her face, and she shook her head gently:
"I'm fine..."
"I'll take you back to the cabin to rest," Aoi's tone was still full of worry, "Maybe you're not used to the sea. After all, this is your first time sailing on a ship for such a long time, maybe..."
"Let's go to the shipwreck."
Perlis interrupted Aoi, then walked to the side of the ship and looked at the ruins of the shipwreck.
She saw Furukawa's small boat in the middle of the sea, and saw the captain carrying the heavy anchor on his back and diving into the waves.

"But..." Aoi walked to Perlis' side and looked at her indifferent profile, "Are you really okay?"
Perlis did not answer Aoi, but gently rubbed her temples, feeling the red lines flowing through her body.
She quickly checked her physical condition to make sure that her body functions had not been seriously damaged by the glance just now.
Fortunately... nothing happened... Perlis breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt very grateful.
No matter what was under the ocean current, Perlis had a very strong intuition: if anyone else looked into those eyes, they would probably have died of madness by now.
And her special blood gave her the right to look that thing in the eye...? For some reason, Perlis wanted to use a more religious word:
【Person】.
"..."
"I'm fine," Perlis turned to Aoi and shook her head, "But, he might be in trouble."
Perlis pointed to Furukawa Furukawa's boat. There was no one on it, only a rope connected to Furukawa Furukawa who was swimming underwater.
If there really was something under that ocean current, no matter how powerful Furukawa Wataru was, he could not afford to even look it in the eye.
But Perlis can at least fight against it and won't sink directly into the sea. At least she can still produce a few bubbles.
Moreover, Perlis instinctively thought that the thing might be related to Imhotaros, whom she was looking for. This might be a direct clue, and she could not let go of this clue.
"call..."
Aoi didn't ask the reason and chose to trust Perlis's statement. She sighed, took off her coat casually and threw it on the deck.
Then, Aoi glanced at Perlis who was wearing a white shirt and asked:
"Don't you need to change your clothes?"
"No need." Perlis turned her wrist slightly, and the factor shield appeared on her body surface. "Waterproof and oxygen storage."
"Really don't want to have a close contact with the sea..." Aoi smiled lightly, but didn't say much, and stretched out her hand to Perlis, "Hold me, I can manipulate the heat flow and swim directly over."
"Well," Perlis nodded slightly, "wait a moment."
She turned around, shook out the redstone module from her sleeve, and placed it on the deck.
In this way, if any accident happens under the sea, Perlis can quickly shuttle back through the cracks.
"..."
After finishing her preparations, Perlis held Aoi's hand and took a deep breath.
——Although some of the oxygen will be stored by the factor shield, this is after all the first time for Perlis to enter the sea, and she is a little nervous.
As if seeing through this, Aoi smiled gently and patted Perlis on the back:
"Don't worry, sister will help you."
The next second, she jumped up with Perlis, exerted force on the side of the boat, and raised a scorching wind -
"call--"
The hot wind blew across the deck, nearly knocking the crew members off. The air current lifted Perlis and Aoi a little, and then they dived into the ocean at a terrifying speed.
Perlis only saw the blue waves getting closer and closer, and then she suddenly closed her eyes——
"thump--"
The waves splashed, followed by a silence that overwhelmed the sea breeze and the sound of the waves. Perlis suddenly felt far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and the surrounding ocean currents embraced her.
She opened her eyes and took in the scenery beneath the current: schools of fish, bubbles rising upward, and specks of light piercing from the surface into the ocean, eventually disappearing into the gradual darkness above the abyss.
After getting used to it for a moment, Perlis felt that this place was no different from the bottom of any other lake: she had once dived into the bottom of the Eye of Hiplanda and personally fished out the Thebit who couldn't swim.
It feels like that was a long time ago.
"..."
Perlis nodded to Aoi who turned back to look at her, then let go of Aoi's hand and swam with her under the ocean current.
On the way to the shipwreck ruins, Perlis discovered a strange phenomenon: almost all the fish were swimming in the opposite direction of them, leaving in the opposite direction of the ruins, which made Perlis's ominous premonition deepen.
There must be something wrong under the wreckage.
Without giving it much thought, Perlis just sailed through the ocean current, getting closer and closer to the ruins of the shipwreck.
Not long after, Perlis and Aoi entered a sea area filled with broken wood boards and debris. They looked into the depths of the ocean at the same time and saw the lower half of the shipwreck at a glance - it was crumbling next to a deep-sea rift.
The rift was so vast that one could not see the bottom. Perlis only looked at the rift and felt her sense of danger jumping.
There's something underneath.
Above the ruins of the lower half of the ship, Perlis saw a rope pulled down from the sea - that was obviously the trace of Furukawa Ferry.
"..."
Perlis waved her hand, motioning Aoi to look at her, then pointed at her chest and then at the ruins of the shipwreck.
What she meant was to let Aoi stay here to be on guard while she went to the shipwreck ruins.
Unexpectedly, when Aoi saw her actions, she shook her head slightly, indicating that she wanted to go with Perlis.
What a troublesome woman...Thanks to the factor shield blocking the sea water, Perlis was able to puff out her cheeks and then sigh.
She asked Aoi not to go because she was afraid that Aoi would meet that indescribable existence.
But it seemed that it would take too long to explain, and there was no time to waste. Perlis decided that if something went wrong, she would take Aoi with her and return to the Blue Reef.
"Gulu..."
Perlis and Aoi stirred the sea water at the same time and swam towards the ruins of the ship.
As the ruins of the shipwreck were getting closer, Perlis once again felt a strong sense of murderous intent.
When she looked up, she saw five gray-white figures swimming quickly towards her and Aoi.
——It’s the Dark Hammer Monster! And there are five of them!
Isn't it said that this kind of thing only exists in the Eastern Ocean? Species invasion! ?
"Gu..."
Perlis grasped the jet-black sword at her waist - in this situation, the battle must be resolved quickly.
But before she could do anything, a stream of thermal energy suddenly shot out.
"Om-"
It was Aoi. A stream of hot air shot out from behind her, accompanied by dense bubbles. She rushed towards the five dark current hammer monsters, with bright golden light shining in her eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Aoi was about to meet the leading Dark Current Hammer Monster. She gathered her fist, and the tip of her fist filled with red lines emitted a scorching hot light, and then she struck out fiercely -
"boom--"
With one punch, Aoi punched through the Dark Current Hammer's head, and the red-hot fist pierced into the alien's abdomen fiercely, sending out a burst of hot air under the cold ocean current. The high temperature burned a series of holes on the Dark Current Hammer's body, spewing out white air mixed with bubbles.
So exaggerated..
Seeing that Aoi could handle it, Perlis did not hesitate and turned directly to the ruins of the shipwreck and dived in.
Following the rope of the ancient river crossing, Perlis saw a slightly rotten wooden door frame at a glance. She quickly drilled through the door frame and entered the interior of the sunken ship.
