Constantine felt dizzy as soon as he finished speaking. This was because he had just slightly acknowledged Hercule's identity as the "captain", which led to the influence of the identity transfer magic.

However, since the title he used was not clear, he was dizzy for only a few seconds and nothing happened.

Hercule did not intend to show off, he really did not know how to get down. The golden sunshine was sprinkled in the warm air, the sea breeze kept blowing from afar, the sky was rolling and the vibrant ground was dead silent.

The alarm did not stop, and everyone knew that the "sea" was still here.

After a long time, it seemed that the taste of the waves could be heard from its roaring sound, and the sunlight passing through the transparent air would occasionally refract, casting a piece of glass-like, constantly rotating light and shadow.

This means that the "sea" is not static, it carries invisible water, invisible wind, and invisible waves several meters high, and travels back and forth on this island. Even the tough old trees have to bow to it, and the towering mountains will be submerged by it.

The sea conquered the land and tamed life.

Agent Bowen asked through his teeth, "When will it leave?"

"When it wants to."

The cultists replied in a deep voice, "No one can control the will of the sea."

They were like a group of fledglings standing on the rocks at night, their feathers wet by the tide, huddled together and shivering. Constantine was one of the more stable ones, and asked on behalf of the others, "You made this thing, right? Don't you have any countermeasures?"

The cultists looked up at Hercules in fear, "We need a ship... and a helmsman."

Constantine followed with his head tilted back and said, "Did you hear that, detective?"

Hercules didn't bother to avoid the cultists, and said loudly, "I'm very happy to help, the question is how to do it?"

"I don't know!" Constantine replied, "I've never come into contact with this kind of thing! But you have such a good brain, you must have an idea!"

It would be strange if he had an idea! Who is the magician after all!

Hercules tried desperately and began to search for the keyword "sea" in the side quest records on the system panel. There are quite a few at a glance, such as 'Mystery of the Otter Island Ocean Sinking', 'Stranded Sea Monkeys and Fallen Fishing Boats', 'Passing the Last Undersea Tunnel'...

Some tasks are inexplicable, while others are so brief that even the description is only a few words. Hercule can't remember when he did them.

If it weren't for the current emergency, he would have liked to read the 'Sea Monkeys and Fishing Boats' carefully, as it sounds very mysterious.

On the ground, Constantine urged: "How is it, have you figured out a solution?"

"I'm afraid I can't do anything... but I may not." Hercule suddenly thought of the Mechanical Heart, "I can open the 'door', but the tools are in the hands of the FBI."

Constantine had heard Zatanna's story about 'the detective opening the door late at night to kill the robber, and the wizard passing by after drinking scared his soul away', and now he understood Hercule's thinking without any obstacles.

This is also a solution, but he turned his head and found that it was no wonder that the FBI had not made any move for a long time - he fell there, half of his arm was swallowed by the "sea", and it was unclear whether he could be rescued, but he had already fallen into a coma.

The need to stay away from the "sea" immediately became much more urgent.

The box containing the mechanical heart fell to the side, and Constantine walked over quickly to take a look at the contents: "Metal? I'm not sure if it can pass through the "sea". I just wanted to take you to other dimensions, but I failed. On the other hand, you can't survive in the upside-down world with so many of us. Dying in the "sea" may be easier than being killed by monsters and toxins in the upside-down world... Is there no other way? What is this?"

He pointed to another hourglass-shaped collection in the box and asked.

As he spoke, the sound of the waves became more obvious. It rubbed against people's eardrums, and Constantine heard his voice become rumbling, as if someone blocked his ears.

For a moment, the air around them became sparkling, the shadow of the sun was blurred, and a small inverted rainbow was fleeting. A believer pinched his nose and said in a muffled voice: "I seem to have water in my nasal cavity... Why am I a little breathless?"

It's the waves.

Agent Bowen thought.

He felt like he was standing on the beach, facing the dark and endless waves.

The sea was rushing them to death.

The only exception was Hercule, who was standing on the sea. He spoke faster and said: "It's my tobacco. You don't have to send it up. There is still some gold I poured into the pipe last time-but I'm not sure what will happen after I smoke it. Good or bad results or no change are possible. The decision is in your hands.

Especially you, Mr. Constantine, if you die because of me, our team will be famous in the industry."

It has always been Constantine who sells out his teammates. Those who can finally sell Constantine can be said to be better than his master.

But after all, it is a joke about his dark history in front of his master. Hercule usually doesn't do this.

——The detective was complaining in a veiled way about Constantine's behavior of running away without even saying hello.

The blond wizard said "huh", and wanted to ask: Are you the kind of person who can't see the situation clearly and wants to die with others instead of living alone?

He knew that smart people have a common problem, which is that they easily think that they are the only one on the right path, and they insist on going their own way and never look back.

Just like a martyr.

But after a brief hesitation, he dropped the topic and said as if it didn't matter: "The situation can't be worse than it is now. I prefer the exquisite magic pipe with flowers to the ugly and disgusting metal heart in the box - what about you?"

Except for the unconscious FBI agent, everyone chose the pipe. Agent Bowen hesitated for a long time, and finally stood on the side of the public because of the special situation.

Hercule took out the pipe. He had never used this magic prop before, but he knew how to do it naturally, just like a standby action. He squatted down, put one hand on his knee, and knocked the metal base of the pipe on the invisible sea level with the other hand, as if knocking off the non-existent ash.

As he moved, liquid like molten gold gradually appeared in the empty tobacco pot. The liquid level rose higher and higher until it was flush with the edge. Constantine stared at this scene, and almost regretted it before the detective took a puff of cigarette.

What exactly is the gold in the golden hourglass? He wanted to think deeply, but his brain seemed to be rusted. When he carefully observed the liquid in the pipe, his thinking was so slow that it was difficult to function. He didn't feel this way when he looked at the hourglass... the shell of the hourglass... the package...

Rational judgment ended here. He could only watch Hercule's slightly abnormal intoxicated expression, and even his sharp gray-green eyes narrowed slightly, and then he put the cigarette holder to his lips and took a deep breath--

His eyes turned the color of the sun, making people afraid to look directly at them. But then, Constantine could see that his face turned gray, and at the same time he felt that the precious vitality was leaking out of his body, no, from the other party of the life-sharing contract, from the detective's body, and it was about to flow out.

He broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and his fingers moved slightly. Before he could cast a magic to save people or save his life, he saw a blue light band nailed to the navel of Hercule's body and tightened it hard.

The flow of life stopped.

Hercules did not see the system screen refresh.

Because just as the liquid flowed through the hourglass and turned into golden mist and poured into the organ, the world in front of him was shattered. The emerald green vegetation that stretched into the distance disappeared, the blue sky began to fade, the sunlight dimmed, and the nature reserve of the Hawaiian Islands turned into a gloomy scene of impending storm.

At the same time, the sea appeared in his eyes.

Hercules' mind was confused, as if he was in a long lucid dream, and he only felt the dampness. He walked barefoot on the golden beach, and the sea water kept washing up from one side of him, covering his instep and soaking his trouser legs. The wind and waves kept sweeping, and the gray-black sky contained a chilling murderous intent. He was unaware and moved forward along the coast in a daze.

A blue translucent belt connected his lower abdomen and extended to an unknown direction.

Halfway, Hercules was tripped by something on the beach. He fell to the ground, the sea water submerged his mouth and nose, and his coat was full of water and became heavier than ever. The hazy sunlight shone on the clear sea level, and he saw that the thing that tripped him was a palm-sized round compass half-inserted into the sand.

Intuition led him to hold the compass and then climb out of the sea.

Water and gravel flowed down his wet hair. Hercule wiped his eyes with the back of his hand without caring, and looked at the place where the compass pointed:

Not far away, there was a strangely shaped giant ship stranded on the beach.

It was as high as a dozen floors, with no sails, no decks, and a round outer wall reflecting a metallic luster, and there was no obvious entrance. There was a sharp, keel-like structure above the "giant ship", with no connection point between it and the hull, and it slowly rotated around the hull like a satellite around a star. Behind the "giant ship" was an elliptical enclosed cabin, and it was unknown where the power unit was.

In general... According to fluid mechanics, Hercules felt that it was not like a ship sailing in the sea, but more like a spaceship in human imagination.

At this time, he gradually woke up, looked down at the blue belt connected to his body, and understood in his heart: it is the umbilical cord connecting the soul and the body, leading to life.

Everyone has such an umbilical cord. If it is cut, life will go to death.

Hercules is dead.

But not completely dead.

He approached the giant ship with a compass in his hand, and the cabin automatically opened the door after sensing his arrival. The metal deck several meters high slowly descended and extended to his feet. Hercules walked up barefoot, leaving a water mark on the ground.

There was a floor-to-ceiling window with a wide view in the cockpit. There was a circular gap in the center of the console. Hercules compared it and pressed the compass in his hand into it.

The giant ship started.

At the same time, the sea, which was not calm, roared furiously behind him.
