Chapter 259 The Statue's Mechanism: A Feint Attack
[Laila, Oko, can you hear me?]

Goring, who had been trying to contact Leila and the others from the control room, had not yet discovered that the naval vessel had sunk to the bottom of the sea, and assumed it was just the shaking caused by the large waves.

It wasn't until Chairman Lucas brought Rick to him that he realized things were getting out of control.

[Lyra! Oko! Respond if you hear me!]

They are now enveloped by mermaids on the seabed and have no way of knowing what is happening on the surface.

With Liang He's fate unknown and Laila and Oko out of contact, Gorin felt that his already sparse hair was about to fall out completely.

[…sizzle, sizzle.]

[Deputy District Head, this is Ao Ke.]

After a period of calling, Ao Ke finally responded.

The moment he heard his voice, Goring breathed a sigh of relief, and his stiff body relaxed.

[Oko, how's the situation on your end?!]

Judging from Oko's voice, they shouldn't be in any great danger right now.

[Lyra, accompanied by two team members, is investigating a statue hidden beneath the eerie sea.]

Oko reported their findings to Göring in detail.

Unaware of the attack at sea, he was also unaware of Göring's fears.

Okay, please be careful and stay in touch.

Having confirmed that they were safe and sound, Goring did not intend to tell them what had just happened.

The main problem is that it's useless to say anything; it will only make them worry unnecessarily and undermine their morale.

After hanging up the communication, Oko once again focused his gaze on Lyra and the others. Although there was nothing unusual about the statue, he still hadn't made any progress.

"Captain, if it really comes to this, should we send them back?"

The sailors who followed Oko spent long periods of time in dangerous and eerie waters, and their psychological resilience deteriorated.

Especially since Lyra and the others have been gone for so long without any new discoveries, what if something goes wrong...?

"hold on."

Before setting off, Oko and Leila agreed that they would continue to wait as long as nothing unusual happened within the agreed timeframe.

Once the allotted time has elapsed, the submarine will be returned to its original location, regardless of the circumstances.

[Colonel, I haven't found it here.]

Because they were wearing diving equipment, which made communication difficult, Lyra and her teammates used the Federation's exclusive hand gestures to communicate.

I don't have any either.

Another teammate also made the corresponding gesture.

This result did not surprise Leila, but she did not give up easily.

She stood directly in front of the statue and began to examine it closely.

Come and take a look around. Is there anything strange about this place?

According to Liang He, the orca mother was poisoned after entering a strange sea area.

If someone were to poison the entire sea area, not to mention the amount that would need to be, the patrol team of the protected area would probably have noticed it long ago.

Therefore, it seems more reasonable that if the toxins are distributed in a specific location, affecting only a small area of ​​the sea.

Could it be... this totem?

Recalling the Beast God that the man had just mentioned, Lyra fell into deep thought.

The statue must have had a purpose in being placed here.

Offering, creation... is this its meaning?

Hold onto the ropes binding me and keep your distance. If you notice anything amiss, pull me back.

Lyra is ready to test this beast god herself.

She entrusted her escape route to her teammates and devoted herself entirely to studying the beast god totem held by the robed statue.

Finally, she discovered something was amiss.

"Boom!" As Lyra gently turned the totem, when she got stuck at a certain key point, the special sound made her realize instantly that she had made the right bet.

The key was indeed in the totem!

The surface of the eerie sea began to surge, the waves so large they seemed to swallow the sky and the earth, and everyone inside the warship felt a sense of danger.

"Minister, something seems off here?"

Looking down through the glass, not only his subordinates but even Ace himself felt uneasy.

Why does the place where the Black Wizard conducts his experiments feel so eerie?
"Find Liang He quickly, then evacuate!"

Even under these circumstances, Ace was unwilling to let Liang He go, which shows how deep his hatred for her was.

However, he probably never imagined that Liang He had actually been nearby all along.

"Landon, you stay here quietly. I'll go in first and wait for my instructions before you come back for me."

Long before they entered the airspace above the strange sea area, they took advantage of the terrain and the fog to linger not far from the entrance.

It wasn't until Ace and his crew piloted their warship into the area of ​​the strange sea that they took advantage of the darkness under the lamp and secretly landed on top of the warship.

"Remember, don't run around, okay?"

Liang He and Landon lay on top of the warship and found the passage leading into the cabin. Liang He then began to explain the next steps to Landon.

Landon nodded obediently, not even uttering a sound to avoid being exposed.

The perfect teamwork between the man and the eagle speaks for itself.

"Then I'll go down first."

After entrusting her escape route to Azure Falcon, Liang He infiltrated the warship alone.

She could kill Ace once, and she could destroy the warship a second time.

It must be said that in such a narrow and clandestine space, Liang He preferred to use a sharp blade to slit the enemy's neck rather than a knife or a gun.

"Still no trace of Liang He?"

For some reason, Ace felt a chill creep into his heart.

It's one thing that Liang He can't be found, but even the Azure Falcon has vanished without a trace. This is really not right.

"Found them! Minister, they're on the warship!"

Suddenly, a cry of alarm came from his subordinates, and the contents of their words filled Ace with terror.

He quickly gripped the photon gun in his hand and led his men toward the ventilation shaft leading to the top of the warship.

In his state of shock, anger, and panic, he was completely unaware that something was wrong with his surroundings.

"You! Go up and take a look!"

He directed his men to play as the vanguard, but Ace himself was very afraid of losing his life.

The subordinates, equally afraid of death, swallowed hard as they looked at the photon gun in Ace's hand, but ultimately chose to climb up shakily.

But when he successfully reached the top of the warship, he found nothing.

"How could there be nothing at all?!"

Ace yanked the person down and climbed back up using both hands and feet, but found no trace of them either.

A flash of inspiration struck him, and his eyes widened in sudden realization.

"Oops! We fell into a trap!"

Ace quickly descended and rushed back to the control room with his men. In the end, all they saw was Liang He leaping down and being caught by the Azure Falcon.

"Ace! I hope you like the gift I gave you! Goodbye!"

Liang He, having said a friendly farewell, looked at Ace's ashen face and smiled with satisfaction.

The beeping of the warship's self-destruct signal sounded again, like a summons from hell.

"Liang He!"

Gritting his teeth, wishing he could eat her flesh and drink her blood, Ace only had time to jump off the warship again and plunge into the sea.

He will come back! He will personally torture Liang He to death!
This was Ace's only thought when he jumped off the warship.

"boom!"
