The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 515: Ryukyu Island, miles, was once a rich land in the East China Sea

Shen Le's brows wrinkled in surprise.

These weren’t available last time I came!
The last time he sat on the "Sea Street Slide" and watched the joint military exercise between Western Japan and Japan, there was nothing like these!
Metal stakes were nailed to the edge of the harbor and along the dock. My mental power drifted over and I immediately felt a tremor:
It seemed like the metal stake, or the ball on top of the metal stake, or something buried inside the ball and the stake, formed a strange force field.

When the mental force touches the force field, it will immediately cause vibrations, buzzing, and alarms...

"It seems they are really anxious. Yes, it's a big black fish~~~"

Shen Le sighed half-truthfully. There were no such defensive facilities before, but now they suddenly appeared, making it hard for him not to think that they were designed to protect him.

The bad news is that his subsequent actions and explorations are obviously much more difficult;

The good news is that the number of these defense facilities is obviously not enough. As a result, they need to be produced and deployed urgently at the same time:
Shen Le was at the edge of the harbor, near the exit where tourists left, and felt a group of workers busying themselves installing this facility.

Perhaps, it is quite difficult to produce and install them everywhere on the island?
And the cost must be very high. Yes, if the cost is not high, how can the people below make progress, and how can Commissioner Smith make a fortune?

"Qingdeng." He called softly in his heart. The little oil lamp immediately jumped out with full energy:
[I'm here! Shen Le, what's the matter? What do you want me to do? ]

"See those metal stakes by the dock? Yes, the silver-gray ones with a ball on top, placed about ten meters apart."

Shen Le pointed it out. The silver ball of light floated up and down for a while. Shen Le didn't know whether it was "seeing" with its eyes or using some other method to get close and scout:

[I saw it! Do you want me to chop it off? Chop them all off?]

"Ah, no, no." Damn it, how come Qingdeng has become so violent?
We should be gentler, more elegant, and calmer when doing things! Don't act like a flash of lightning when you see something strange!
"Can you go ashore and have a look? Take a look around and see how many of these things there are on the island and where they are distributed?"

[No problem! Leave it to me!] Xiao Youdeng answered energetically. After a pause, he hesitated again:

[However, this island is so big that I can’t see it all at once… I need some time! ]

"Of course, of course." Shen Le took the small oil lamp out of his backpack and stroked its body:

"Take your time, we are not in a hurry. We need to know ourselves and the enemy, and know how powerful the enemy is, so that we can know how to deal with it!"

[Then... when I go to watch, you are not allowed to sneak out to play! ]

Shen Le almost burst out laughing. The little oil lamp went around for seventeen or eighteen times. Was it just for this?
He was about to agree when the other kids all refused to do it. They all started talking at once, yelling:

[That won’t work! We still have to play! ]

[You went ashore to play by yourself, but we can't play on the boat?! ]

[I don’t want to stay in the cabin! ]

[It’s unreasonable! Qingdeng is unreasonable! ]

With so many little fellows yelling at the same time, Shen Le had a splitting headache. He wished he could put a golden hoop on his forehead to suppress his head that was about to explode.

He persuaded this one and coaxed that one, and finally sent the small oil lamp ashore to investigate the existence of these warning forces. Then, he asked the compass and the scroll:

"Can you two work together to show me a map of this place? I mean, if I want to go ashore and look for it myself, can you show me a map and guide me?"

【no problem! 】

[No problem! ...Uh, it would be nice if there was a more detailed map...]

There was no more detailed map. The map that the Special Affairs Bureau had given to Shen Le in advance was the most detailed one they had tried their best to make, but there were still many blank spots.

For example, the Nishida military base on the Ryukyu Islands can only be seen through satellites, giving it an outline.

What is the place, what is the purpose, and even where are the underground facilities...

Sorry, not to mention that the University of Tokyo does not have detailed information, even the Japanese, the nominal rulers of this island, do not have any information.

Not to mention the topographic maps of the surrounding waters. The data in Big Black Fish is indeed detailed, but in just these few days, I haven’t had time to export and organize them all!
Shen Le could only hope that Qing Deng would help him find all the mental detection equipment on the island, and then he could start searching...

And Qing Deng did not disappoint his expectations. Shen Le sat in the room from 11am to pm. When he went out for lunch, Qing Deng had already returned.

The silver ball of light floated quickly in front of him, up and down. Although it had no humanoid body, it had a sense of holding its head high and chest out.

[I found it! I found it! There are so many detection stakes on this island!]

It turned twice and rushed towards the compass. The little guys communicated with each other for some reason, and then the scroll unfolded by itself, projecting a map of the Ryukyu Islands on top.
The compass spun quickly, as if it was determining the direction, and then, little by little, silver light began to shine on the map:
First is the cruise ship terminal, then the entire surrounding port, and then the military port and the surrounding area of the military base.

Of course, there are some attractions near the ordinary tourists, but not many...

[They are still working hard to install them! When I went there, I saw truckloads of metal poles! Oh, there are also a lot of them on the beach...]

Shen Le was silent for a while, then he took out a huge paper map and started marking it one by one. Xiao Youdeng waited for a while and then became bored:
[Shen Le, when are we going to go out and play...]

"Qingdeng, be good. The information you have obtained this time is very important. Wait until I finish marking it." Shen Le was so busy that he didn't even raise his head.

The little oil lamp endured for a while, but finally couldn't bear it anymore, and with a crackling sound, a flash of lightning burst out:

[Get out of the way! I'll mark it for you!]

The lightning flashed right under his eyelids. Shen Le leaned back reflexively to avoid the attack. The next moment, dozens of fine and dense lightning bolts fell on the map at the same time:

Stab it!

Stab it!

Stab~~~
Dozens of burnt dots immediately appeared on the paper map. The small oil lamp continued to shine, one row after another, and another row after another...

Soon, the entire map was covered with dense black dots. The silver light ball turned triumphantly:
[Done! Now you can go play! ]

No. Shen Le tried hard to remember the location of the black spot, sat cross-legged, and began to try to spread his mental power.

Avoid these detection devices, avoid disturbing them, try to go deeper, and try to find something that makes you feel uneasy:
Where is it?

Where is it?

His spiritual power slowly extended, close to the ground, or rising high in the air, or deep into the sea. The more he explored, the more he felt something was wrong:

It's hard to say what's wrong, but it's just wrong. When he was in China, the whole world gave him a very peaceful feeling, as if he was in his mother's arms and didn't have to worry about anything;

However, here, he felt particularly anxious. He wanted to escape, he wanted to run away. Something was about to happen in this place. No one would protect him. No one would protect him...

"Perhaps, we should still teleport to determine what happened?"

Shen Le thought uncertainly. The results of the long-distance mental scan were still not clear.

And most importantly, the biggest warning sign he sensed was discovered during several teleportations...

Shen Le stood up and started to put on his coat. Seeing him getting ready to go out, the little ones automatically lined up without his instructions and jumped into the pen holders one by one.

By the time Shen Le had finished tidying up, the pen holder had shrunk to an inch long, automatically jumped to the side of his phone, and got into the net bag phone chain made of glass fibers. Cheers continued to ring out:

【go out! 】

【go out! 】

【Let’s go out and play! 】

Do you guys really want to go out and play?

Shen Lening calmed his mind, connected the copper plate, compass and scroll with his mental power, accurately located them, and initiated the transmission:
Everything in front of him turned dark in an instant. Shen Le concentrated silently, feeling himself being contained and wrapped by the earth, and slowly emerged from the ground.

He put on his backpack, pushed down his cap, pretended to be a tourist, and walked out of an empty park pavilion:

Well, there is no one here and it is close to the city center, so it is convenient to pretend to be a tourist and wander around. Nice, perfect!
It was indeed different when you got closer. Shen Le strolled leisurely and soon arrived at the Ryukyu Palace - strictly speaking, it was the old palace that was occupied, burned down, and then rebuilt as a tourist attraction.

Shen Le walked around it several times and took a lot of photos as a tourist and ancient building restorer.

Well, it should be said that the gate of Shuri Castle, Shureimon, and the main hall of the Ryukyu Royal Palace are indeed built quite realistically, and a lot of research was indeed done during the construction process.

The palace design and even the stonework of the entire Shuri Castle are quite unique, no wonder it has been listed as a World Cultural Heritage...

But this is only from the perspective of ordinary people. From the perspective of extraordinary people, it is not so wonderful:

Shen Le found a secluded and shady place, leaned against a pillar with his backpack in his arms, closed his eyes slightly, and pretended to take a nap.

The spiritual power quietly spread out, like gossamer, like flying catkins, without touching the surrounding warning pillars, but just quietly feeling the atmosphere of this palace and royal city:

It’s bad. Very bad.

This royal city should have been filled with a strong and powerful force, a force that extended from the Chinese land and was inherited from China.

With this power, you can illuminate the sea, suppress everything, cultivate the vitality of islands and oceans, and frighten demons and monsters so that they dare not move lightly.

However, the power that Shen Le felt now had its roots dug out and its body blown up, almost disappearing completely, leaving only a very thin bit...

This little bit is just a drop in the bucket. The entire Ryukyu Island, and even the vast sea area surrounding it, has almost completely lost the power of containment and nourishment, and is extremely barren in spiritual terms.

As for the monsters and ghosts around, he could feel that there was indeed a powerful force on this island, which was so fierce and awe-inspiring that the small monsters and ghosts dared not move.

However, while it is so ferocious and powerful, it is also creating fear, anger and sorrow.

It’s okay in the short term, but in the long run, the force of the counterattack will be very terrifying!

"Tsk... Ryukyu Island, 800 miles, was once a fertile land in the East China Sea~~~
Once the Japanese invasion arose, the air was filled with smoke and no one was around..."

Shen Le opened his eyes, put on his backpack, and walked out unsteadily. As he walked, he hummed happily:

"Without a father or a king, there is no law or discipline, but when you do evil, you still have your father to protect you.

Fortunately, the hero Shen Le..."

Ah, it's stuck...

One word less, I can't sing anymore...

I couldn't sing any more, so I had to give up. The problem was not in the old palace of Ryukyu, but in a more remote and distant place.

Shen Le teleported several times, even to a nearby military base, trying to spy on it. After a day of running all over the island, he still couldn't find the problem:
“I always feel like it’s nearby… Every time I teleport along the earth veins, I always feel a sense of fear… But where is the culprit?

——I don’t think I’ll really go to the base to take a look!!!”

[Go! Go!] The little oil lamp jumped excitedly. A tingling electric current quickly climbed up along Shen Le's wrist, pulling his arm up and down:
[I can drain all their electricity first! Lock all their computers! Black out all their cameras! You can go wherever you want, no one can hurt you! ]

sweat……

Shen Le was silent. He moved the phone from his right hand to his left hand and shook the phone chain several times:
"Stop it. Don't you know my level? Not to mention that we don't know their technological strength. We don't know if they have the ability to block transmission. Even if they don't, what if someone opens fire--"

He stretched out his right hand, with his thumb erect and index finger pointing forward, and the remaining three fingers hooked inwards with force:
"Bang! I'm dead!"

[No! I can be your eyes! I will never let anyone get close to you! ]

Xiao Youdeng was still trying to persuade him. Shen Le shook his head, focused his mind, and teleported back to the ship. He took out his cell phone and called the back:

"I feel something is not right. I need to conduct a deeper investigation in the surrounding waters.

——Don't worry, it's okay, I'll let Yun Kun walk along the seabed and disguise himself as a fish, so no one will find him!"

He ignored the other party's various persuasions of "Hey! Hey, hey, hey! Take it easy!" and turned off his phone, then quickly went to a deserted beach.

Take out Yun Kun and put it into the water:
"It's up to you! Let's just dive down and hide under a reef. I'll slowly look for it!"

With a leap, a beam of light sucked him into the small wooden boat. The three-foot-long small wooden boat plunged into the sea, following the direction indicated by Shen Le, heading east, with all its strength.

Shen Le stretched out his limbs on the deck, looking at the deep blue water wall and sky above his head, expanding his mental power to feel the world around him.

Well, the further east he went, the clearer his perception became, like a map carved on a copper plate, especially the details on the edge of the map, rushing towards him.

The last time he went to Europe, he was on a plane and left the country in a flash. He still remembers the uncomfortable feeling of being a fish out of water.

However, this time, the feeling of walking to the edge of the map and approaching the barrier between heaven and earth was completely different:
The feeling that was very thin and barren before gradually became thicker. It was like the sky curtain standing here, and just by existing, it accumulated a lot of spiritual energy, enough to benefit the surroundings;

It was like a warning, warning all living beings not to move forward, warning that if they moved forward, they would be out of protection and enter a vast and wild area...

"Tsk... I feel like I'm very close to the answer." Yun Kun followed Shen Le's instructions, found a coral reef, hid himself inside it, and lurked quietly;

Shen Le stretched out his mental power and continued to explore outwards.

The Ryukyu Islands are a string of islands on the edge of the East China Sea continental shelf. Further east is the vast and deep Pacific Ocean.

This chain of islands, located on the Okinawa Ridge, is a combination of islands, volcanic islands and coral reefs formed by the compression of the earth's crust. Shen Le spread his mental power and soon found something wrong:
"The power here... the power here is very chaotic. Yun Kun, let's go north again, straight north!"

Yunkun flicked its tail rudder and jumped out of the coral reef. It turned into a two-meter-long tuna and headed straight north.

After passing the main island and several large islands, Shen Le's spiritual sense was once again triggered:

"It's here! It's right here! - This place feels very wrong!"

There was wind. A very strong wind. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be wind on the seabed, and Shen Le shouldn't feel the wind in the water wall shield raised by Yun Kun.

However, this spiritual wind made Shen Le tremble with fear:
He has felt this wind!
In the secret realm of the East China Sea, in the secret realm pointed out by Hong Jiayi, behind the teleportation array opened by the Taoist temple, it is a very far place!

There was a hole in the sky barrier, and it took him a long time to fix it!

At that time, the wind that blew out from the cave was just such a wind, mixed with the violent and ferocious spiritual energy beyond the barrier between heaven and earth!

There is also the deepest part of the Baishan Heishui secret realm, which is located under the waterfall. The Special Affairs Bureau has not been able to find the passage down so far. It is a secret realm that can only be reached by teleporting, at the hole in the towering tree!
The wind blowing out from there actually comes from the spiritual energy outside the barrier.

Shen Le even suspected that this place had been broken once before, leaving a big hole, which was blocked by the immortal using the jade ring and the secret realm in the jade ring!

Now, somewhere east of the Ryukyu Islands, it has also been broken...

Shen Le lay on the edge of the deck, looking up at the water wall. The wild spiritual wind blew, and the entire sea water began to boil:
Huge numbers of fish, shrimps, crabs, shellfish, jellyfish, and all kinds of strange and unknown aquatic species were simply having a carnival.

They kept swimming back and forth in the sea, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy in the sea. As they ate, they began to change dramatically:
A small silver fish the length of a finger suddenly doubled in size, its scales turning into sharp armor;

Before it had time to stretch its body, a huge fish like a sheet covered it and wrapped its entire body.

The little fish struggled and rolled, blood gushed out, but it was of no use, the sea gradually calmed down, leaving only the body of the big fish which began to turn red little by little;

It was extremely red, and suddenly it exploded and broke into pieces. A large school of fish happily passed by, each scrambling to get a piece of the meat.

Most of them were blown to death, a small number grew bigger, and there were two fish, one of which became longer and began to transform into a dragon or snake, while the other grew two... arms?
Shen Le was overwhelmed by the sight. The little guys crouched together and watched the spectacle with him. After a long while, the ship suddenly began to shake violently:
[Shen Le! Stop just watching! Are you still going to care?! ]

"What does it matter?"

Shen Le looked in the direction of the voice...there was nothing to see. The person who was speaking was Yun Kun, and around him and under his feet, there were small wooden boats everywhere.

Yun Kun moved the rudder and dived into the reef again, staying away from those messy guys:
[This is not right! We have to make them stop! I heard in the Dragon Palace that if they are like this, they can't become dragons, or even monsters, but only monsters!]

Shen Le suddenly woke up. The wild spirit was scattered - there was a crack in the barrier between heaven and earth - we had to find it and repair it!

"You're right!" He stretched out his hand and patted the side of the boat:
"Stay here and protect me. I will find the source of this incident!"

He quickly began to meditate again. His mental power spread out, following the direction indicated by the copper plate, forward, forward, all the way forward.

Not long after he walked, he suddenly cried out "Ah!" and was shaken out of his trance. He hugged his head and rolled onto the deck.
"It hurts! It's so hot—"

Extremely scary!
Extremely sinister!

Abnormally fierce!

He was so far away, still a hundred or two hundred miles away, and he was burned by the mere touch of his mental power;

If you get close, you will probably be engulfed by flames and burned to ashes in an instant!
If it was just Ryukyu who was unlucky, Shen Le really didn't want to care. After all, it was the Japanese and the Western University garrison who were unlucky. Even if the fish monster came ashore, they would be the first to be destroyed.
It is estimated that they are still unable to cross the seven or eight hundred kilometers of sea to reach the Chinese mainland.

However, however...

Shen Le reached out and touched the copper sheet. The light spot on the copper sheet became brighter and brighter, and hotter and hotter. The entire copper sheet was beating and trembling rapidly, eagerly expressing to him:
go!

Go quickly!
"Oh, forget it. Every gift from fate has a price secretly marked on it."

Shen Le touched the copper piece again and sighed softly. Since he had obtained this thing and gained countless benefits from it, he should take responsibility.

Besides, every time he repaired the world, the copper sheet gave him enough benefits, didn’t it?

No more words, let’s go!
"Yun Kun! Go ahead! Go in that direction! Keep going!" He patted the side of the boat and pointed in the direction marked on the copper plate:
"Walk until you feel danger! Walk until you can't walk anymore and can't hold on any longer! When that happens, tell me and I'll take over—

Let’s repair this piece of heaven and earth!”
