Although Byakuya had arranged for his residence to be in the basement, it was actually no different from the Rhodes Island main ship.

Most of the cabins and dormitories on the Rhodes Island ship itself are windowless, requiring holographic screens to simulate window views. The reason for this layout is simple: Rhodes Island is just a land-based aircraft carrier, perhaps larger than a typical land warship, but not exactly a mobile city-state.

With limited space and the need to accommodate so many people, it was impossible to arrange all the dormitories in the outer part with windows. Moreover, the area with the most open view with windows had been converted into the bridge section.

There isn't much difference between the operator's dormitory and the safe house in the basement.

Ghost Shark has gotten used to this layout and dormitory.

Moreover, although Bai Ye didn't say anything, he secretly rearranged Ghost Shark's room, especially by bringing out a high-powered, silent humidifier from somewhere.

The underground is inherently dark and damp, requiring special drying and ventilation systems. However, for the Agor people, higher humidity levels actually make them more adaptable.

The humidity in the room is very high, which is just right for a deep-sea hunter like a ghost shark that is dehydrated, making it much more comfortable than in other places.

But why am I still having insomnia? Logically, I should be having a good dream…

Laurentina tossed and turned in bed, then realized something she had overlooked—this seemed to be the first time she had been alone in a room since regaining consciousness.

In the past, the three of them always slept in the same room.

Now, Skadi has been lured away by that kitten to become a henchman, and Bai Ye has gone to the next room by herself, leaving her alone in the room.

Suddenly, I feel a little unaccustomed to and unaccustomed to this change...

The ghost shark curled up, suddenly feeling as if the room was becoming as vast as the deep sea, and itself was becoming tiny.

……

It's strange that the Agor people, who live in the deep sea, are afraid of vastness and loneliness...

Ghost Shark was somewhat embarrassed.

Perhaps I am also becoming more vulnerable on land, not only physically weakened by Oripathy, but also mentally.

It's unclear when it started, but Specter began to fear being alone. In the past, her dominant personality had been submerged in darkness, while Skadi would always chatter incessantly in her hospital room, helping to stabilize her will.

Perhaps from that time on, Specter began to rely on others. Although she kept talking about Skadi after regaining consciousness, she couldn't answer and felt very uncomfortable.

But deep down, the nun was quite happy.

The dark room was like a deep ocean, and Ghost Shark's thoughts began to race.

She started to recall how it felt when the three of them lived together. That should help her find the feeling to fall asleep.

...However, she regretted it.

Well, when there were three of them, what left the deepest impression on Specter was the scene of Byakuya and Skadi secretly sleeping on another bed...

Although she didn't know why she couldn't hear anything, the Deep Sea Hunter's exceptionally good eyesight, which was perfectly adapted to the dark, allowed her to see everything clearly...

At first, Bai Ye and Skadi would repeatedly check if Specter was awake, but as the battle intensified, they became somewhat careless. After all, there was a soundproof barrier protecting them, and Specter couldn't hear them anyway!

As it turned out, Ghost Shark didn't sleep at all that day; she saw everything...

Perhaps because this incident happened so recently, and because the impression was so profound, Ghost Shark simply couldn't shake it from his mind whenever he thought about it...

"hateful……"

Gradually, Ghost Shark's breathing became rapid, a blush crept onto her cheeks, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her body.

She was sweating despite being dehydrated because her body temperature was rising.

Ghost Shark felt his body begin to heat up.

"Why do I have this feeling again..."

The girl breathed softly, her legs intertwined, and she began to rub them back and forth.

At first, she resisted the sensation, but the girl quickly gave up. Laurentina gently reached out and touched her lower body...

For some reason, Bai Ye's image appeared in her mind at this moment.

-------------------------------------

"Ah sneeze——!"

Skadi sneezed, a strange reaction that puzzled her. How could a Deepsea Hunter catch a cold and sneeze?

"good chance!"

Seeing Skadi distracted during the battle, the enemy's eyes lit up and they charged towards her.

Ugh, so annoying!

Skadi frowned, then gently swung her fist, easily sending the person rushing towards her flying.

Standing beside Skadi, Swire watched as the man's body bent at an unbelievable angle, flying backward like a doll, and finally crashing to the ground like a rag doll, unable to get up again. Only the instinctive reaction of his muscles had not completely disappeared, and he was twitching there.

“In White Night’s words, this is called… nothing serious except for the lack of vital signs.” Skadi made a rare joke.

This was just the beginning. After that, Skadi didn't even move her feet and easily took down the enemies. The remaining people exclaimed, "The monster is back!" "That's the monster!" and then fled for their lives.

It seems that dormant memories are beginning to awaken.

……

"Wow, that's really strong!"

Miss Swire was completely impressed.

Unlike Byakuya's agile fighting style, Skadi displays a different fighting style, namely "pure power," with every move containing unparalleled strength.

Swire, though confident in her abilities—after all, she was a high-ranking superintendent in the Lungmen Guard, an elite officer capable of easily subduing criminals with just a lipstick—chose to bring Skadi along simply as an extra layer of insurance.

But it was only at this moment that she realized the gap between herself and Bai Ye and Skadi.

Especially after comparing herself to Skadi, she realized that her strength was nothing to brag about.

'I feel like I've already lost... Why did I even bother competing against this monster...?'

Those fleeing enemies were right; the word "monster" perfectly describes the power Skadi displayed.

Swire felt a sense of defeat after comparing himself to her.

……

Skadi was oblivious to Swire's thoughts. She walked up to the enemy's corpse she had knocked away, muttering to herself, "I should have known better than to use so much force. It was such a hassle to send it flying this far..."

"Pfft—" Swire couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard Skadi's rambling.

This kid, although very strong, seems a bit dim-witted and easy to fool. No wonder Bai Ye succeeded in getting him. Bai Ye is so stupid, not smart at all, and can't even talk properly. He can't even handle business negotiations. How could he possibly find a partner on his own merits?

After learning about Skadi's goofy side, Swire was no longer worried or afraid. After all, no matter how powerful she was, she was still just an ordinary girl.

Although she is indeed very strong, she is also a good orca.

Unlike Swire, Skadi was not in a good mood.

She looked at the corpses on the ground and shook her head: "These guys were all bounty hunters."

“I chased a bunch of them away before, how come they’ve reappeared?”

"Maybe it's because you haven't made a move in a long time, and they've all forgotten about you?" Swire guessed.

"Hmm, I guess that's it... I should have kept one alive. Ask him why."

Skadi was somewhat annoyed.

She suddenly felt very upset, extremely upset, and in a bad mood, so she hit him a little too hard.

This inexplicable emotion puzzled her.

At the same time, she also began to reflect on her own problems.

It's a good thing for soldiers to have their own emotions in battle, but they shouldn't be easily swayed by those emotions, as that can easily lead to a loss of control.

These were all things the former captain had taught her.

After standing there in silence for a moment, she turned to look at Swire: "Let's go."

Their vehicle had malfunctioned due to the bounty hunters' influence, but it didn't matter. There were plenty of bounty hunters' vehicles in front of them, and the fleeing thugs had no chance to recover their lost property.

“Going out with Bai Ye isn’t this troublesome; we’re always flying in the sky,” Skadi complained softly.

Swire, who was restarting the vehicle and checking the remaining fuel, rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

Do you think near-Earth aircraft are like cabbages, something you can find easily?

Bai Ye is an exception; on this land, humanity ultimately belongs to the earth. We'd better just drive away...

-------------------------------------

"Well--"

The ghost shark's body trembled, and its legs twitched involuntarily before gradually calming down.

The sheets were covered in wet stains, but Laurentina nonchalantly pressed her legs against the dampness; or rather, it was this dampness that made the deep-sea hunter feel at ease.

After the initial excitement subsided, Laurentina's previously high spirits gradually calmed down.

Reason has regained the upper hand.

She then realized that she might have gone a bit too far...

This isn't some hotel! You can't just change the sheets whenever you want; this is Bai Ye's home after all...

Besides, did Bai Ye next door hear the commotion I made just now?!

Thinking of this, Ghost Shark quickly rolled off the bed and landed on the ground.

At first, she couldn't stand up straight, and her legs felt weak.

Holding onto the wall, she slowly stood up, moved carefully barefoot on the floor, and then gently pushed open the door and walked out of the room.

Laurentina quietly moved to the closed door of Bai Ye's room next door, and then carefully pressed her ear against the door—

She only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Bai Ye was still fast asleep and that his heartbeat was normal.

Ghost Shark slowly slid down against the door and fell asleep...

She seemed particularly at ease sleeping here, and was able to stay awake even in her dreams.

……

In fact, Bai Ye really didn't know anything either.

Normally, Bai Ye would definitely be able to hear such a loud noise from next door. He had set up a mechanism for his sleep system so that ordinary noises wouldn't wake him, but unusual noises would be filtered through the alarm system and wake him up.

Sister Laurentina next door secretly 0721, there were soft moans, panting, and sounds of her body hitting the wall, the bed shaking, and the shower spraying. Logically speaking, it would be strange if Bai Ye didn't wake up.

Unfortunately, today is a special day.

Bai Ye's sanity was too low, and his body entered a deep state of hibernation to repair his depleted sanity and mental energy. He would never wake up unless he sensed hostility or a threat.

This is the body's protective mechanism against day and night.

Therefore, by a twist of fate, Bai Ye was completely unaware of Ghost Shark's 0721 actions.

He's sleeping soundly.

All I can say is that I just missed a great show.

Speaking of which, Sister 0721 seems pretty exciting indeed ==

-------------------------------------

The next morning, Bai Ye opened her eyes.

Following his old habits from when he was a player, Bai Ye sat up, waved his right hand downwards, and opened the game system's attribute panel.

Actually, this action is not necessary at all; you can open it simply with your mind.

However, most veteran players still prefer to use a standard gesture to activate the system.

The game system's interface is no different from the past, making it hard to believe that this is a system repackaged by Luna, and it doesn't actually have much to do with the game.

It was only made to look like a "full stealth game" system panel for the sake of disguise and ease of understanding.

Only now did Bai Ye have the energy to check what changes had occurred on the panel.

As he sensed, after a full night's rest, his mental and physical state had returned to its best.
