The sun is high

“Check the container and ritual conditions, don’t miss anything!”

"Those who are not responsible should evacuate immediately. Don't care who they are. Those who are not relevant will be kicked out immediately!"

"Prepare the secret ritual of protection and isolation!"

After seeing the psychedelic color suspended in the water tank with his own eyes, Gerald, who had officially assumed important responsibilities, immediately made a decision.

Although he is not a magician or a professional scholar, he has enough practical experience in alchemy. In addition, the disaster in Salem City and his complicated past experiences have also given Gerald far more abilities than ordinary people. prudence and judgment.

During the past period of time, he has been paying close attention to this strange imprisoned parrotfish. As a survivor who successfully escaped from the hunting of the descendants of the Dark Abyss, Gerald has a deep understanding of these things that are closely related to ancient creations. Extremely sensitive to existence.

"Once any unexpected situation occurs, it needs to be dealt with in the strictest way!"

This is the creed that Gerrard has set for himself.

Soon, the important people who had just arrived at the laboratory were protected and "driven" by the soldiers to a relatively safe position. Then, a huge and strong protective magic was quickly formed under the operation of the secret ritual, and The laboratory was completely enveloped.

Of course, Meyer and others would not be angry at being treated like this. On the contrary, they all sensed a clear sense of crisis and tension from Gerrard's performance as if he was facing an enemy.

Daswell was the first to leave. He believed that this change was a very bad signal. The soldiers who were on duty and patrolling the port needed to be reminded, and ships such as the Dawn Goddess anchored in the port also needed to be prepared.

Subsequently, Felix and several other core members of the Sword of Dawn also left one after another. They were unable to determine whether the ongoing mutation was related to the Black Sun Society, but in any case, they needed to prepare a response plan in advance.

Therefore, when Gerald came to this open space with heavy steps, only Meyer and a few other scholars from the Dawn Society were waiting for him.

"Professor, I would suggest that you stand back a little further, or... would you consider leaving the port first?"

"Okay Gerald, you know I won't agree."

Meyer shook his head calmly, holding his hat in his palms, his eyes as deep as the sea outside the port: "Tell me, what is the situation now?"

"The will residing in the giant fish has awakened...or, in other words, it finally ended its previous silent state and decided to use up its limited power to do something else."

"Something else? What do you mean?"

"Sorry, Professor, we don't know enough about it, but through the changes in the secret ritual, we can be sure that that will is trying to convey its power to the outside world... Its power is very special. Although our secret ritual can take effect , but can only intercept part of it."

Gerald raised his hand and made a motion to cover his mouth: "It's like trying to cover a person's mouth. You can only prevent him from shouting loudly, but in the end you can't stop him from making a sound."

"You mean, it's sending a message out? Is it calling its companions?"

"It's impossible to confirm, but we are indeed dealing with it according to this situation."

The huge mixed-blood ogre said in a sullen voice: "This is the advice Mr. Sugar gave me before he left. He said that if we encounter an incomprehensible situation when studying that fish, we should treat it with Conservatism and stability are the first goals..."

He raised his hand and made a "slashing" motion toward the air: "The ritual is starting, Professor... We are ready to completely destroy everything in the tank, no matter what the will is or what it plans to do. , we won’t let it continue.”

After hearing these words, Meyer turned his gaze to the laboratory in the distance. He saw that the magical light shrouded above the laboratory seemed to have suffered some kind of impact and interference, and was constantly emitting a strange brilliance. Apparently, until Now, that strange will is still constantly impacting the measures of the Dawn Society.

"Okay, just follow your predetermined plan. I'm not a professional in this field, so it's better to say less."

Meyer nodded very consciously. He was about to ask something more when he heard rapid footsteps not far away. He turned around and saw that a head of beautiful golden hair was running towards this direction under the light of the light. Come.

Sally ran a little too fast, so she was slightly out of breath, but at this time she had no time to rest. She directly raised her hand and handed a brand new magic letter to Meyer.

"It came from the Windless One and was signed directly by Miss Wei Lin."

Sally said a few words in a hurry, then she calmed her breathing slightly and said quickly: "There are some complicated new situations on the Windless One... It is now basically certain that those deformed fish that live in the The will and power within humans or shrimps and crabs are extremely dangerous.”

"Mr. Sugar believes that the giant fish we captured was just an accident. The impact of similar forces in the ocean is likely to be extremely exaggerated. If these wills suddenly awaken and start to behave unexpectedly, Then it should be 'destroyed' immediately and be prepared to deal with the impact!"

While Sally summarized the contents of the magic letter concisely, Meyer had also scanned the contents of the letter at an extremely fast speed.

He sighed, raised his head and said, "The good news is, we are indeed doing this... Daswell has passed on the order, and everyone is now on standby."

Gerald’s fat face wrinkled very ugly: “So what’s the bad news?”

"The bad news is that the Windless One may be very dangerous now... Our comrades are floating on the sea, and they have no way to rely on land to fight against those unknown entities."

Meyer slapped the magic letter heavily on Gerald's big hand: "And I'm sure that compared to us, Mr. Ghost on the ship is probably the primary target of those powers and wills. .”

After speaking, he looked at Sally: "Have you tried replying to the letter?"

"Tried it twice and failed."

Sally's face was full of worry and anxiety: "The connection between the Mysteries has been severely disrupted and has been completely interrupted. We have no way to confirm the situation on the Windless One, and we cannot contact anyone... …”

…

Meyer was absolutely right.

Now, the Windless One and all its escort ships are in a similar state.

The fleet is still moving forward, but now, all the mages in charge of the secret rituals in the fleet have discovered that the contact and communication secret rituals they have been carefully maintaining have now completely become a decoration.

The entire fleet seemed to be trapped in an invisible, airtight cage - powerful interference was erected on the nearby sea like a barrier, completely blocking those magical messages transmitted based on magic.

And when the crews on these ships tried to observe the sea, they were surprised to find that their fleet was "surrounded" unknowingly.

Yes, surrounded...

When they used telescopes to search the seemingly empty calm sea in the distance, an extremely beautiful and strange color appeared in their field of vision.

Just like the rainbow in the sky falling into the sea for no reason, this color formed an extremely huge circle on the sea around the fleet. Under the cover of the night, this magnificent circle seemed to be alive. With the entire fleet moving forward.

No matter whether the waves on the sea are rough or not, and no matter how fast ships such as the Windless One are traveling now, this huge circle will always exist and maintain this weird enveloping posture.

"The wind and waves outside are not small, and our speed has reached the fastest speed...but they are always able to surround us in the center."

The mage from the Legal Committee shook his head in disbelief, and then handed over the telescope: "I'm already doubting my eyes."

Shuge took the telescope and looked towards the sea in the distance. Then at the end of his sight, he saw a line on the dark sea that was constantly surging with the waves.

A line that emits brilliant and abnormal light.

It is too far away from the Windless One, so even if Xiuge has sufficient magic power and strong magic perception, there is no way to successfully reach this weird "encirclement".

As for the detection mysteries equipped on the ship, although they have been operating correctly, they have never been able to give any clear feedback on this strange phenomenon.

Shuge stared at these familiar strange colors for a while, then he put down the telescope in his hand and said: "It seems that in the current state, they are not ready to go to war with us... Encirclement and restriction are the key to is their primary goal.”

"Surround and confine?"

The mage on the side was puzzled by this: "But if this situation alone cannot cause any substantial damage to us, even if we cannot use the secret instrument to communicate with the outside world now, we can still maintain our speed until we arrive. port."

"But this is just the beginning."

Shuge glanced at him, then turned his eyes to the sea.

After losing the aid of the telescope, everything within sight became pitch black again. After nightfall, the wind and waves seemed to get bigger again. The raging waves kept rolling, as if they wanted to spread invisible panic to this moving car. among the fleet.

Just when Shuge was about to end his observation of the sea surface and return to his cabin for more preparations, the sailor officer on the other side who was using a telescope to observe the distant sea surface suddenly made a surprised sound.

"Um?"

Shuge turned around and saw that the officer put down the telescope in his hand with a puzzled look on his face, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then looked out in the previous direction again.

This time, his reaction became more intense.

"Um???"

This sound is as if an angler who has been unable to catch fish all year round suddenly finds that his fishing rod is hung with some extremely abnormal weight.

The person in charge of the Legal Committee present frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"I……"

The officer seemed a little speechless. His expression changed drastically and his mouth trembled slightly. Then he held up the telescope and said in an extremely uncertain tone: "Northwest, just in the northwest... I saw a huge group of The black shadow, why doesn’t our detection secret device respond?!”

Hearing this, Shuge immediately came to the officer's side. He looked in the direction pointed by the sailor officer. Soon, Shuge successfully captured the shadow that the officer was talking about in the darkness in the distance. .

The black shadow was not too far away from the Windless One. In fact, it was in the middle area between the Windless One and the armored escort ship Silver Shield.

It looked like a huge sea reef with some luminous algae covering the surface. Although the sea was dim and lightless at this time, Shuge and others were still able to distinguish its outline through the gleaming algae.

A loud siren sounded from afar. It was the warning issued by the Silver Shield. Apparently, the sailors on this armored ship had also discovered something unusual.

There was a subtle sound in Xiuge's spiritual world, which was the sound of the metal disk starting to accelerate.

Accompanied by the Silver Shield's siren, the huge crystal lamp installed on the ship emitted a dazzling light. As the crystal lamp rotated, two huge beams of light shone towards the sea surface where the abnormality was discovered.

However, in just ten seconds, the bright beam of light successfully illuminated the target sea surface, and the true appearance of the shadow was finally exposed to the sight of Shuge and others.

Reef?

Bullshit reef!

The moment Xiuge saw the shadow's face clearly, he couldn't help but curse.

The "sea reef" in the words of the naval officer has an extremely weird appearance. It does not have the hard outline that a reef should have. Instead, it is as round and smooth as a huge man-made mound. Under the illumination of the crystal lamp, it is revealed. A gloomy dark green.

It's obviously alive.

Under the stimulation of the light, the shadow took on new changes. Xiuge saw it tremble slightly, and then rotate slightly in the sea water.

The luminous moist algae reflected a strange brilliance, and after the light and shadow flashed by, what caught Xiuge's eyes was an even more bizarre sight.

He saw two rows of light spots arranged vertically.

Those are eyes.

They just grew in the center of the shadow, and reflected a light highly similar to the "Color of Life" in the light.

The same vast sea, the same waves...

There are also these existences with distinctive ancient characteristics...

At this moment, Xiuge felt that his previous dream about the ocean and the giant ship seemed to be blending with the reality in front of him.
