Elder brother's garrison

Xiao Bai was not mistaken; it was indeed dark in the sea area where he was.

However, Xiaobai was not wrong; she had indeed been away from the beach for just over an hour.

For both conditions to be met simultaneously, the only possibility is that Xiaobai's location is no longer in Chapter Two.

"Then, where am I?" Xiaobai asked.

Is the Earth round or flat?

"It's round."

Have you looked at the map?

“Yes.”

"Are you the admiral or am I the admiral?"

"me."

"Can't you look it up yourself?" The Will of the Deep Sea snorted, and with a flick of her wrist, a world map was tossed from her hand into Little White's arms.

That's unbelievable, he's still acting all high and mighty even at a time like this.

Xiao Bai looked at the Will of the Deep Sea with a helpless expression. After thinking for a while, he still obediently unfolded the world map in his hand.

Although the Deep Sea Will did not explicitly tell Xiaobai and the others their location, as the Deep Sea Will said, this thing can indeed be found out on the spot.

After all, there are indeed many clues.

Xiao Bai knows that it's daytime in Chapter Two, and he also knows the approximate time; he can find the location of Chapter Two on the map. Using that as a standard, it's not difficult to find several time zones where it's midnight at the same time.

Furthermore, as an admiral, Xiaobai also remembers the locations of all the sea areas in the world that have been discovered and have the aura of the deep sea. After finding the time zone, all he needs to do next is to check if there are any sea areas where deep-sea resentment exists.

That's what they say, but there are still some troubles involved.

Xiao Bai glanced at the map, quickly identified several time zones, and then looked at them.

"Uh..." Xiaobai looked at the map, showing a rather troubled expression.

"Found it?" the Will of the Deep Sea asked.

"I...I might have made a mistake..." Xiaobai quickly looked at the map again.

However, after Xiaobai filtered the conditions again, he came to the same conclusion as before.

Xiao Bai put down the map, his expression complicated.

"Where?" the will of the deep sea asked.

Of all the time zones filtered out by Xiaobai, there was only one sea area, which happened to be a large, deep-sea area of ​​resentment, the kind that was included in the chapter order.

there is only one truth.

“…Chapter Six.” Xiao Bai’s hand trembled slightly.

That explains why the deep-sea fog feels so deep...

That explains why it's so dark...

So, the outside world is actually Chapter Six?

Xiao Bai now feels a mix of extreme bewilderment and a sense of bewilderment, leaving him feeling both amused and exasperated.

"Chapter Six...isn't it a million miles away from here?" Xiaobai asked. "Why did I end up here?"

The distance between these two places is evident from their time zones; one is daytime, and the other is nighttime. To travel between Chapter Two and Chapter Six, even by plane, one would have to endure a considerable flight. Little Bai, on the other hand, crossed almost half the globe in less than an hour while on a trip across the sea.

With that kind of speed for rapid travel, if they went into logistics, they might just dominate the whole country.

"Who knows?" Surprisingly, even the Will of the Deep Sea expressed doubt when faced with this question.

"what?"

"When I went out just now, I only noticed that the aura of the deep sea was different from that in the second chapter, which led me to conclude that you were not in the second chapter."

"Ah...so those things are different after all?"

"Just like the difference in taste between deep-sea metals you eat."

"...So you really don't know?"

“I’m not omniscient or omnipotent,” the Deep Sea Will said quite sincerely. “If I knew everything, I wouldn’t have attacked you during the autumn Deep Sea activity period.”

"..."

The autumn deep-sea activity period was a bit awkward. Whenever the Deep Sea Will brought it up, both Xiaobai and the Deep Sea Will fell silent for a while.

"Can I go back?" Xiaobai asked after a while.

"Let's go back the way we came," said the Will of the Deep Sea.

This means that Xiaobai estimates there's still hope of crossing halfway around the world to get back.

The will of the deep sea reached out and gently touched Xiaobai's forehead under Xiaobai's gaze.

As the Will of the Deep Sea pressed against his forehead, Xiao Bai felt a remarkably three-dimensional 3D ocean map appear in his mind, with arrow-like markers in several places on the map.

A white arrow, presumably pointing to Xiaobai's current location.

A bunch of tiny blue arrows, presumably referring to the glorious ones.

On the other half of the map, there is a red arrow with a bold, highlighted indicator.

There's no doubt about it, it's the boss.

"Is this a map?" Xiaobai asked the Will of the Deep Sea.

"Yes, I just used my mental power to scan this area of ​​the sea."

"Wow, that's amazing! How did this map appear in my mind?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

“Since I can see your memories, it’s normal for you to see the memories I want to show you,” the Will of the Deep Sea said.

Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment, then pouted: "That's not fair."

"Where is the unfairness?"

"You've seen all my memories, but all I can see in yours is a map."

The Will of the Deep Sea smiled.

"What's so interesting about my memories?"

The will of the deep sea ignored Little White's protests, stretched out a finger, and gently flicked Little White's head.

In a dizzying moment, Xiaobai felt as if she had been sucked into a vortex and detached from her mental world.

On the quiet grassland.

The will of the deep sea watched as Xiaobai's body gradually disappeared.

"There's nothing to see." The Will of the Deep Sea muttered to itself for a while, feeling lost and dejected.

Compared to Xiaobai's wonderful memories of the past ten years.

There was indeed nothing to see in the memories of the Deep Sea Will.

For just a few months, I waited by the sea for someone's happiness.

And the remaining centuries of boundless darkness and cold, and hatred that gradually melted away with the sun's rays.

The Deep Sea Will would never show Xiaobai those months of happiness. It was something akin to a dark chapter in the Deep Sea Will's history.

As for the remaining few hundred years, they are even less likely to be shown to a novice.

Because of memories and such.

Not everything is beautiful.

Chapter 774 Being good-looking allows you to do whatever you want.

After detaching from the mental world, Xiaobai regained control of her body in the real world.

"call--"

With the help of the will of the deep sea, Xiaobai's doubts were partially resolved. Although he still felt a subtle tension, like he was racing against time as Conan, he was much more relaxed than before.

Compared to being completely clueless before, Xiaobai now at least has some clues and things he can do.

The swirling, bubbling aura of the deep sea around Xiaobai's body gradually dissipated as the will of the deep sea returned to Xiaobai's body.

The waters around Xiaobai remained unchanged, calm and peaceful.

Xiao Bai reached out and grabbed at the air, then belatedly observed for a while.

Even to Xiaobai's naked eye, the density of the deep-sea fog was noticeably different from before; it was much denser here compared to the second chapter.

After a brief recollection, the map of the Deep Sea Will appeared vividly and clearly in Xiaobai's mind.

The map clearly marked the locations of Glorious and the others, as well as the locations of himself and the Deep Sea Dean of this area. Even under the Deep Sea Dean's highlighted red arrow, Xiaobai could still see several rather dim gray arrows.

These should be the symbols of the ship girls who went missing in the second chapter.

No wonder they disappeared; it turns out they ran off to Chapter Six.

As Xiao Bai was thinking this, his attention quickly drifted away from the Deep Sea Dean's logo.

For beginners, figuring out how to get back to Chapter 2 is the most important thing right now.

On the map, the waterway's overall shape is crooked and winding, but it does have boundaries. Surprisingly, the waterway isn't particularly large; Xiaobai thinks it's about half the size of a node's sea area. At this moment, Xiaobai is in the lower half of the map, the Deep Sea Dean is in the upper half, and Glory and the others are a short distance behind Xiaobai.

Fortunately, Xiaobai was not far from the boundary on the water side; at least from the map, it was a few steps shorter than the distance she would have to travel to the Dean of the Deep Sea.

Xiao Bai headed towards the water boundary on the map.

The journey was quiet and peaceful. Although the waters were filled with the scent of the deep sea, there were no deep-sea ships. Xiaobai spent some time getting to the location indicated on the map.

The map from the Deep Sea Will only gave Xiaobai information about this body of water, but it didn't give Xiaobai even a tiny bit of information about what lay beyond the boundaries of this body of water.

Xiao Bai initially thought that the water area might be separated by something, like a wall, barrier, or protective shield, which was why there was a boundary above the water. However, when Xiao Bai followed the map given to him by the Will of the Deep Sea and arrived at the closest boundary, expecting to see something like a wall, he...

Xiao Bai, however, discovered...

There is nothing here.

If the map were dynamic, the little arrow representing Xiaobai should be right next to the edge of the water area, and logically, it should have crashed into the wall. However, in the real world, Xiaobai's location remains the same, surrounded by an endless black ocean.

"Huh??" Xiaobai stretched out her hand, somewhat puzzled. "Is it an invisible wall?"

Xiaobai tentatively reached out and touched the ground, but didn't feel anything blocking her way. She took a few steps outside.

Then I walked outside the map.

Xiao Bai blinked and pondered for a moment.

The Deep Sea Will didn't explain much about this map to Xiaobai, because Xiaobai was sent out of the game while we were chatting. So Xiaobai's understanding of the boundaries of the water area is also based on his own interpretation.

Xiao Bai recalled the map in his mind once again.

The waterway has a winding, meandering shape, with a distinct layer of thickened lines on its outermost surface.

If the waters had no boundaries, the map should be circular, with the outermost layer gradually blurring. There's no need for the Deep Sea Will to use such bold lines to mark it in this strange shape.

But this body of water truly has no boundaries.

Because Xiaobai is currently standing "outside the map," yet behind her is still an endless black ocean, and there is absolutely nothing above the bold line on the map.

Xiao Bai realized that continuing to ponder like this wasn't going to work, and just as she was about to enter the spiritual world to ask the will of the deep sea, a familiar feeling of dizziness also came from the spiritual world.

It seems that the will of the deep sea does indeed have something to say.

Guided by the will of the deep sea, Xiaobai prepares to return to the spiritual world.

However, at this moment.

The sea surface where Xiaobai was located began to distort, as if it were being reflected in a funhouse mirror.

At the same time, a slow pulling sensation also acted on Xiaobai's body.

"Um?!"

Little White opened its eyes wide and looked around.

Space and the water surface were distorting, rippling like water. Xiaobai looked down and found that in his field of vision, his body seemed to be bending along with the distortion of space.

It didn't hurt, and there was no injury, but Xiaobai had a feeling that something was moving her away from here, teleporting her away.

Xiao Bai suddenly remembered a term that frequently appeared in a game Tirpitz played.
