Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

"How did Ifrit recognize you just now? Your race has changed. Is it because you saw me?"

"I think it was another guy who told Ifrit." Xiyue looked at Texas and smiled, "We should hurry back..."

"What's wrong?" Texas looked at Xiyue who was suddenly silent, feeling a little confused. Then she understood why Xiyue was silent at the moment.

"Finally found you." Ghost Shark's voice sounded behind the two of them, "Although I'm not as sharp as the nun, I was still able to find you."

Ghost Shark looked up at Xiyue's dragon horns: "Especially Xiyue, you have become like this~"

"I didn't notice you two." Xiyue turned around with a smile on her face, carefully squeezing through the crowd of Ghost Shark and Skadi, "It seems like you guys are having a lot of fun?"

The two people in front of him had already taken off their original attire and changed into youthful and beautiful beach clothes. Each of them was holding snacks that they had obviously just bought.

"But looking at you guys." Xiyue looked at the two of them and smiled, "You just happened to notice that I was here."

"That's about right." Ghost Shark nodded. "I didn't expect to catch you right away. The original plan was to let you play for two days and then find you at the concert."

"Anyway, if Mr. Great is here, you guys should be here too, but it's nice to meet now."

"I suddenly regretted asking Xiyue to come along." Texas looked at the two with a cold face, although Texas had already made preparations when he was in the car. The two of them must have been there for this trip to Xista.

No matter how prepared you are, you will still be embarrassed when you encounter this situation.

"Well." Xiyue touched Texas' head, "Relax, relax, let's go, Croissant and the others must be waiting anxiously, you want one, oh, forget it, I guess you will follow later."

"Yeah." Skadi nodded, and hurriedly pulled Ghost Shark to follow, "The water below here seems to be connected to the sea, so there is a hint of the sea here, enough to remind people of their hometown, but not enough to attract the sea heir."

"Their words shouldn't be so annoying now, right?" Xiyue touched Skadi's head as she approached him, "Forget it, the relationship between you two is not clear."

"Huh?" Skadi looked at Xiyue with some confusion. She wanted to ask what was going on, but the ghost shark next to her pulled her clothes.

Ghost Shark then took the initiative to take over the conversation: "On the way here, we met four singers singing on the roadside. Xiyue, do you want to go and see it? It sounds very nice, and it feels like the sea."

"You, do you want me to scare people?" Xiyue tapped the ghost shark's head gently. "No, there will be a chance in the end, otherwise a certain penguin will blame you for ruining his surprise plan first."

When Ghost Shark heard Xiyue say this, he immediately said, "Oh, why did Mr. Great have that evil smile on his face when he told me this?"

"Wait." Texas frowned and looked at Ghost Shark, "What did you just say? What did the boss say to you?"

"Oops." Ghost Shark realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly shut up, but looked at Texas and waved his hand, "Well, you should ask your boss about this."

"I said, how did you know we were going to Xiosta?" Even if Ghost Shark didn't answer, Texas had guessed it roughly. No wonder Ghost Shark just pulled Skadi away at that time, and no wonder Ghost Shark sent them a message in advance welcoming them to Xiosta.

Most likely, their boss who loves to commit suicide is involved in this.

"Yeah, calm down, calm down." Xiyue, who was standing by, saw that the situation was not good and quickly held Texas down, "The boss is just like that, calm down."

"Huh." Texas breathed a sigh of relief. Since his boss wasn't around now, he would just be patient for now and trouble him later.

Of course, the boss would not be angry about this matter. After he said these things, he was already prepared to be beaten up by them if he was exposed later. Just like Xiyue said, the boss has always been like this.

No matter whether he was committing suicide in daily life or getting beaten after committing suicide, the boss would never get angry. It has always been like this, so even if Texas is itching to do something now, there is nothing he can do.

I can only wait until I get back and call up Exia and Sora, and then find the boss for a mixed three-on-one fight.

Looking at Texas' clenched fist, Xiyue silently made the sign of the cross to the emperor in her heart. Well, I hope the boss will be okay later?

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

"A-choo!" The emperor, who was watching a movie in the hotel at this moment, sneezed violently. He took a tissue and wiped his nose, made a final perfect three-pointer, and threw the paper ball into the trash can.

"Hmm..." The emperor touched his chin, and his many years of experience in courting death told him that he was probably exposed.

As for the recent suicidal behavior of mine, unless Xiyue had met the band Sunset Is It in advance, then it should be that I told Ghost Shark and the others about their destination in advance.

And strictly speaking, he did commit suicide on his own initiative, but he had to bring people with him. The most he could do was to watch the fun, and not reporting the knowledge he knew about it could not be considered as committing suicide.

Well, after comprehensive analysis, it should be another matter that was exposed, but it was just revealing their destination in advance. Even if this small matter was exposed, if they came to find him, the emperor would not have to worry about anything. At most, he would just be beaten tonight. What's the big deal.

Since you are courting death, just bear the consequences of being exposed. Texas and Exia will know their limits, after all, this is not the first time.

"What strange data." Eyjafjalla looked at the data in her hand, and nothing seemed right. "Why is there such a big gap between the two data?"

These data are being transmitted through equipment in Provence, Xiosta, and on the other side are the research data of Miss Ceylon.

"Well, maybe the magma chamber is growing." Eyjafjalla made some hypotheses after looking at the data, and then turned his gaze to other instruments on the side.

Although the data sent from Provence is a bit strange, the data given by the samples will not lie.

The device's test results came out quickly. Looking at the data above, Ayjafjalla's face darkened, and then she quickly grabbed the mobile phone beside her.

—————Xista——————

In a secluded place, the doctor and his team used a communicator to talk to Eyjafjalla who was far away in Rhodes Island.

"...Finally, based on the comparison of isotopes and the final analysis of multiple samples, it can be basically confirmed that your conjecture is correct." Eyjafjalla made a long speech in the address book, "The frequency of volcanic activity is indeed in an abnormal climbing state. Although it will not cause a natural disaster to erupt immediately, it cannot be ignored."

Eyjafjalla paused for a moment and said in a very serious tone: "The volcanic activity should reach a critical point within two to four weeks, and then it will cause a volcanic disaster."

"But considering the recent data collected through Provence, maybe the volcano won't erupt so soon." Eyjafjalla's tone was full of uncertainty. "If the current data is reliable, the volcano will not erupt for at least a month, but..."

After a pause, Eyjafjalla continued, "But this lull may be due to the expansion of the magma chamber under the Xiosta volcano due to unknown factors, which may lead to a more violent eruption in the future."

"Whether the current lull is temporary or is really caused by the expansion of the magma chamber as I said," Eyjafjalla's tone was full of warning, "If possible, it is best to arrange for citizens to prepare for evacuation immediately."

"The above is the conclusion drawn based on the samples and intelligence you provided."

Even after Eyjafjalla's voice fell, no one responded.

Provence was silent for a while, and as if to liven up the atmosphere, he said in a joking tone: "As expected of Eyjafjalla, you can actually talk for 40 minutes even through the communication line."

"No matter what, the current situation cannot be delayed." The doctor pinched the bridge of his nose. "By the way, Miss Ceylon, given the current situation, who in the Xiosta government is trustworthy?"

"Hey, what do you mean?" Ceylon was suddenly asked this question and looked at the doctor in confusion.

"I've seen a lot of data you've studied." The doctor pointed to the instrument in Ceylon's hand, "From what you said, I also know that the instability of the volcano is not a recent thing."

"But until now." The doctor pointed out the window, "the Xiosta government is still holding such a lively and grand Obsidian Music Festival. Is it possible that everyone in your observatory is just there to eat for free?"

"Once or twice it may be explained as equipment problems, but over such a long period of time and with such frequent volcanic activity, the instability of the volcano is such that even the most basic instruments can detect problems.

"I have to wonder if there are people in your administration who are deliberately trying to keep this from happening."

"..." Ceylon thought for a moment, "My father is not here right now, so there is no way to report the data to him directly. Kronen, I have been trying to tell him about the instability of the volcano, but he ignored me. I am not sure if he can accept the data this time?"

"No, that's not right. The early warning system of the monitoring station was written by Kronin. He should understand volcanoes. As a messenger of natural disasters, he should understand. Yes, he should understand."

After being reminded by the doctor, Ceylon also noticed that many things were wrong. Is the observatory's inaction really that simple?

The volcano's instability has reached a point where even the most basic instruments can detect problems. So why are the monitoring stations still not issuing any early warnings? Even the data from the monitoring stations are exactly the same as in previous years.

Did the monitoring station’s system provide data but then it was replaced, or was there no new data at all?

And all of this points to Kronin, who used to be a messenger of natural disasters and also wrote the system for the Xiosta volcano monitoring station.

As someone who has given up hope on natural disasters, he has so many ways to discover the volcano's conditions without the aid of instruments, but he has done nothing so far, and has even repeatedly prevented Ceylon from continuing to study the data.

Once is a coincidence, twice is an accident, and three times can only mean that there is something wrong with this person.

"There is someone you can trust." Ceylon raised his head and looked at the doctor, "I will bring her here. With her here, it will be much easier for us to pass on the information about the volcano."

"Besides, maybe I have to find my father. He will definitely save Xiosta."

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

"This vacation is not easy to spend." Looking at the people leaving, the doctor let out a sigh of sorrow. How can I spend my vacation? And it has to involve such things?

Then, the doctor turned to look at Amiya who was standing beside him: "Amiya, call someone, at least call ACE and the others over. I have a feeling her actions will not go smoothly."

Amiya took out the communicator and called ACE. When the phone rang, Amiya looked at the doctor and said, "What if there is a problem with Miss Ceylon?"

"Then we may have to prepare to storm the city government, or the radio station over there." Dr. Zhan Ji slightly adjusted his clothes. "In any case, we must save so many people and not let them become victims."

"Don't worry, the volcano won't erupt so soon." Xiyue's voice suddenly sounded, still in the room. The two men immediately looked in the direction of the voice, only to see that the water cup placed by the doctor next to it suddenly bulged out and a small and exquisite Xiyue floated up from it.

Just when the doctor was about to ask something, Xiao Xiyue suddenly raised his hand and blocked the doctor's words in his throat.

"Don't ask questions. This is my water clone, just delivering messages. I can't hear you, so I can't answer." Xiao Xiyue looked at the doctor, "First of all, don't worry, this volcano won't erupt so soon. I've scared that little guy, but the Originium worms don't have much brains. After finding out there's no danger, they may come out again right away."

"So you can take a look at it yourself in a moment, beat it up, and drive it back. I will leave a little magic weapon for you."

"Then the volcanic eruption problem that's weighing on your mind has been solved, and you'll have enough time to deal with the problems that exist in this city itself."

"No natural disaster happens without a reason. The reason why the volcano went wrong so quickly was largely due to the undercurrents in this city."

"That's it anyway." Xiao Xiyue suddenly took out a hat with a tourist logo on it from behind her back and put it on her head. "I wish you all the best. If you need anything, come back to me."

Chapter 142: Obsidian Music Festival

The Doctor and Amiya looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the volcano didn't erupt immediately, there would still be room for maneuver.

Then, Amiya took a piece of blue ice and a note from where Xiao Xiyue disappeared, and there seemed to be a bag of tea leaves frozen inside the ice?

"Ms. Xiyue seems to like freezing things with ice cubes." After complaining slightly, Amiya unfolded the note and looked at what was written on it.

At the same time, Amiya was also very curious about what the magic weapon Miss Xiyue was talking about?

[Remember the icing I introduced to you last time when I asked you to choose black tea and coffee? Icing is frozen in ice cubes. You can feel the coolness when you drink it in any environment. Even in a volcano, you can be sure that you will not be hot. ]

"I thought Xiyue would give us high-powered weapons or something." The Doctor touched his head. He had been tipped off by Kal'tsit before. Although the specific situation was not explained, the Doctor also understood that Xiyue was a very special existence.

It is possible that the way Kal'tsit expressed it at the time was too strange and tortuous, which led to the fact that the Doctor could only come to the conclusion that Xiyue was a very special existence after hearing it to the end.

"Ms. Xiyue's weapons of mass destruction..." Amiya was silent for a moment, and then she unconsciously began to recall what the doctor had just said in her mind.

Combined with her own understanding of Miss Xiyue, no matter how she imagined it, Amiya finally concluded that if Xiyue really gave them a weapon of mass destruction, at least the power should be enough to blow up a mountain.

Although his understanding of Miss Xiyue was not comprehensive, under Kal'tsit's repeated instructions, he had never used any mental spying to spy on Miss Xiyue's mental side.

However, Kal'tsit's instructions and her caution towards matters related to Miss Xiyue, even to the point of being willing to save the Doctor, surprised everyone by voting in favor. Amiya also understood Xiyue's identity as the Sea when they first met.

Combining all of the above, Amiya imagined that if Miss Xiyue really gave them a large-scale weapon, well, it might not only be the volcano, but even Xiosta would be destroyed.

The next moment, Amiya shook her head violently, throwing out the words in her mind along with the swinging rabbit ears on her head. How could she think of Miss Xiyue like this?

"Huh." Amiya took a long breath and looked at the doctor beside her with an ice cube in her hand. "Doctor, what should we do next?"

"Just stick to the original plan. Xiyue just gave us a bottom line so that we don't have to be so impatient." The doctor touched his chin and looked at the tea leaves frozen in the ice in Amiya's hand. "After Huang and the others arrive, Tianhuo and Provence will lead the team to try to go deeper into the volcano."

"The little fellow Xiyue just mentioned may not be a little fellow to us. We must be prepared."

"Then it all depends on whether Ceylon can come back." The doctor looked out the window. "By the way, Amiya, do you think a person with so many proven black spots can continue to win people's trust?"

"Hmm?" Amiya looked at the doctor strangely. "What's wrong, Doctor?"

"No, nothing." The doctor shook his head. "It's just a backup plan for now, and we may not need to do this."

"Ok?"

Just when Amiya was still a little confused, there was a knock on the door, and then Huang's voice sounded from outside the door: "I called ACE and the others over, but if you want to carry out the mission, you may have to wait a while."

The Doctor immediately understood what Huang said outside the door. Then, the Doctor stood up, opened the door, and watched Huang supporting Ace and Scout, whose faces were already red from drinking, with one hand each.

If Huang hadn't lifted the two men up, they would probably have collapsed on the ground at this moment. To be honest, drunk tourists like this are not uncommon in Xiosta nowadays. You can see tons of such tourists in any pub or hotel.

But for the current doctor, this situation is undoubtedly the loss of two generals out of thin air.

"These two can really drink today." Huang helped the two into the room and threw them onto the sofa. The two seemed to still be interested. After being thrown onto the sofa, they adjusted themselves to a relatively comfortable sitting position and fell asleep again.

"The people who answered the phone were all pub staff."

Because many pubs are holding activities, such as self-service drinking, where a seat costs a certain amount and you can drink as much as you want. As for whether you can make your money back, they set the prices at a relatively high level anyway.

Besides, no matter how drinkable alcohol is, it's just ordinary beer. Even if you meet a big eater, there will only be one or two of them, it's impossible for all of them to be like that.

Of course, in order to prevent people from getting too drunk and to ensure that they make back their money, the pub will usually have a few staff members to confirm whether the other person is drunk and whether someone can come to pick him up. After getting confirmation, the other person's phone will be taken away.

As for the purpose, of course, when the family members call, we can explain to them in time and let them take the guests away.

"When I arrived, their table was filled with a lot of extra-large wine glasses." Huang on the side excitedly told the doctor what she saw when she just met ACE and Scout.

"Ah, Amiya." The doctor looked at Amiya with a helpless expression on his face, "Among the operators who came to Xiosta now, are there any more reliable ones?"

"No, regardless of whether it is reliable or not, at least the strength must be strong."

"We were originally planning to advance both fronts, but now let's wait and see what happens in Ceylon."

——————Seastar Garrison Amusement Park Obsidian Music Stage——————

"I don't know why, but after coming here, I feel more and more uneasy." Frost frowned while holding the instrument. For some reason, the closer he got to the stage, the stronger the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became.

Alty showed a surprised expression when listening to what Frost said: "It's rare to see you have other interests besides food and music."

"Don't you feel uneasy with this lingering feeling?" Frost glanced at Alty. "I have a feeling we'll find something surprising if we go on stage."

"Well, we formed a band for music." Alty gently plucked his bass, "How can we not go on stage?"
