She never thought that one day she would fall asleep in the restricted area, and sleep so peacefully - even though she slept on the floor.
There was no warning for the late night snack all night long, indicating that nothing happened that night and the tombkeeper had no other thoughts.
It is worth mentioning that the lost dog's abilities seemed to be suppressed by this restricted area, or it could be said that the lost dog did not dare to use its abilities at all, and she did not feel anything strange.
This also made her more convinced that this restricted area was not simple.
Of course, she actually did not see the stone monument belonging to the forbidden area in this cemetery, and she was not sure whether this place was considered a forbidden area. However, she was soon relieved when she thought about the many tombstones in the cemetery made of the same material as the stone monument.
Even if this place is not a restricted area, it is definitely inseparable from it!
Even...this place may be the birthplace of all forbidden areas.
Although Xue Hongyu was extremely curious, he was not stupid enough to explore around the cemetery. Everything in this place was unknown. The gravekeeper seemed easy to get along with, but he might fall out with him at some point.
She didn't really want to find a cemetery here.
At this moment, the genius was bright, Bai Mo walked out of his room and walked straight out of the house.
Xue Hongyu was still vigilant after all, so she woke up early. When she saw Bai Mo going out, she asked, "Where are you going?"
"Make breakfast."
She was stunned for a moment: "Go outside to make breakfast?"
"No, I plan to prepare some special ingredients to entertain you. After all, you are the second batch of guests of the cemetery."
Bai Mo fiddled with it for a while and took out a black fishing rod from nowhere. After thinking for a while, he added, "...Of course, if you are not in a hurry to leave."
Special ingredients...
Xue Hongyu's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Can we go and have a look with you?"
"It's not impossible." Bai Mo seemed not to have expected that the other party would make such a request, and reminded, "It's just that this road may not be easy to walk."
"It's okay, I like walking the most!"
For Xue Hongyu, exploring various secrets is always something she enjoys, otherwise she would not have been able to forget everything and stay in the institute for nearly ten years.
She hurriedly followed Bai Mo, and the strong man in a cloak followed up slowly, guarding her every step of the way.
As Bai Mo said, the place they were going to was really difficult to walk. The road was full of thorns and unknown plants with spikes everywhere. It took Bai Mo a lot of time to barely clear a road.
Xue Hongyu looked obsessively at these small red fruits on the thorns that he had never seen before, secretly guessing their role.
She didn't dare to use the [Eye of Truth] for fear of accidentally making the same mistake as last night.
"Don't look at it, you can't eat these things." Bai Mo looked back at her and said with a smile, "They're poisonous."
"I don't want to eat it..."
Xue Hongyu was about to explain when he suddenly noticed Bai Mo's hand that was pricked by sharp thorns. He was stunned for a while and said, "Why don't you let Ye Xiao clear the way? He is very good at cleaning these things."
"No need, you are guests, you don't even need to come with me." Bai Mo said seriously, "I'll just come."
Hey, are the tombkeepers so honest?
No, maybe he is secretly planning something else...
Xue Hongyu thought for a while and asked, "Where are we going?"
"The backside of the cemetery."
"What's there?"
Bai Mo was silent for a moment: "A sea."
"ocean?"
Xue Hongyu paused for a moment, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
"Hmm." Bai Mo pushed aside the thorns with a fishing rod and said as he walked, "I don't really want to come to this place, and I don't know why. I feel bad every time I see the sea."
"Then why do you want to come here again? The special ingredient is in the sea?"
Xue Hongyu glanced at the fishing rod in Bai Mo's hand.
"Well, this is just one of the reasons. Another reason is that I had a strange dream not long ago. In the dream, I was in the sea... It felt very strange. Maybe it was foreshadowing something."
"Didn't you say you should believe in science? Why are you starting to interpret dreams again?" Xue Hongyu asked with a smile.
She doesn’t know why, but every time she thinks about this most unreasonable taboo sequence and talks about believing in science, she feels very interesting...
Bai Mo's expression froze when he heard this, and it took him a while to hold back a sentence: "In addition to science, people must have a little romantic imagination."
"Yeah, romantic imagination."
Not knowing what he was thinking of, the smile on Xue Hongyu's face gradually disappeared.
The two of them chatted without saying a word, and Ye Xiao followed them without saying a word.
Along the way, Xue Hongyu kept secretly observing Bai Mo.
During this short time together, she found that Bai Mo didn't feel scary at all. On the contrary, he was surprisingly easy to get along with. Let alone the S-level taboo sequence, it was simply incompatible with any taboo sequence in her knowledge.
For a moment, she even thought that Bai Mo might really be just an ordinary person.
Not long after, the front suddenly became clear, and the sound of churning sea water could be heard in her ears. The sea breeze with a fishy and salty smell also blew at the tip of her nose, blowing the bangs on her forehead open, revealing a pair of bright eyes.
--ocean!
In today's era of densely populated restricted areas, the ocean has almost become a terrifying forbidden area comparable to an S-level restricted area. Because of its vast area, there are a large number of restricted areas in the sea, many of which are restricted areas for activities.
As the name suggests, the so-called movable restricted area is a restricted area that can be moved.
The most famous restricted area at sea is a huge white paper boat - the S-class restricted area 'Extradition Ship'.
Its whereabouts are unpredictable, always floating on the boundless sea, and it always seems to move towards the shore where there are people. Once people encounter it, they will be sucked onto the ship and disappear.
Some people say they have seen this paper boat in the Wangchuan River in Huangquan, a restricted area, while others say they have seen it in the Class B restricted area 'Death Ferry' on the west coast.
It has been found near many restricted areas.
It is worth mentioning that every time you see a paper boat, it sinks to a different depth, just like each time the boat is loaded with cargo of different weights.
Some people say that the extradition ship carries souls.
Whether this is the case is hard to say, but it is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to sources of danger in the ocean.
There are countless restricted areas in the sea. Whether it is on the sea surface, the bottom of the sea, or even near the coast, there may be unknown restricted areas. The most terrifying thing is that there are even many rumors claiming that there are dragons hidden in the sea - the kind that are too big to describe.
.
In addition, many restricted areas seem to be intentionally "hunting" humans. Since a long time ago, even B-level extraordinary people have not dared to set foot on the beach unless necessary.
It can be said that the word sea has been far away from people's life for a long time and can only be understood through images of the past.
For someone like Xue Hongyu, who has been in the research institute for ten years, she has almost no idea what the sea looks like. She has not even seen many stone monuments in the restricted area in the sea.
"If you have never seen the sea once in your life, your life will definitely be incomplete."
At this moment, she suddenly remembered her late mother's words.
Xue Hongyu doesn't know who her father is. She only knows that her mother is a person who pursues romance. She is so romantic that she can change the same man every day in order to pursue long-term freedom.
She was still young at that time, and she would be kicked out every time. She could only sit outside the door and wait. Sometimes she would wait for a long time, and sometimes it would only take a few minutes. The expressions of the men when they left were all different.
She didn't care why the neighbors pointed at her. She just watched the ants on the ground in a daze every time. It wasn't until those sweaty men left that she would run to ask her mother, who was also sweating profusely:
"Mom, is the man who just left my father?"
At that time, my mother's expression was always extremely ugly, and she would be very impatient and tell her to get out, as far away as possible.
But there are times when my mother is in a good mood. At that time, she will pick her up and say to her with a hopeful look on her face: "Grow up quickly. When you grow up, I will take you to see the sea."
It seems that looking at the sea is a very beautiful thing.
But before he grew up, his mother died of a strange disease.
She was taken to the institute by the parliament and stayed there for ten years.
In fact, Xue Hongyu actually heard the sentence "I will take you to see the sea in the future" twice in his life, but the speaker broke his promise.
In the past, she didn't understand why her mother always talked about the sea and romance. In her opinion, no matter how beautiful things were, they couldn't compare to the secrets hidden in the stone tablets.
But now, she suddenly understood why her mother had such a deep obsession——
That's the sea.
At this time, the sun has risen. Looking from a distance, I can only see a vast expanse of white. The sea water and the sky are one, stretching as far as the eye can see. It is impossible to tell whether it is water or sky.
Under the rays of the rising sun, the seawater in the distance is like fish scales spread on the water. A gust of sea breeze blows, and the seawater is churning and leaping to the shore.
Like the breath of nature, vast and mysterious.
Xue Hongyu was stunned.
The late night snack behind her didn't say a word, but raised his head slightly, seeming to be attracted by the endless sea.
Only Bai Mo seemed to have been accustomed to this for a long time. He quickly found a place to sit down and dropped the fishhook.
Xue Hongyu came back to his senses and found that Bai's face was expressionless. He was looking at the sea in a daze, as if he was thinking about something else.
She suppressed the emotions surging in her heart, simply sat on the stone next to Bai Mo, and said softly: "This is the first time I have seen the sea."
"Really? It looks good, right?" Bai Mo seemed to have just come back to his senses and said with a smile, "I was stunned for a long time when I saw it for the first time. After seeing it more, I don't think it's anything."
"It looks good." Xue Hongyu said.
The two were silent for a while.
"By the way, aren't you in a hurry to go to the city?" Bai Mo asked.
Xue Hongyu shook his head: "There's no rush."
The rest of the council should have arrived in Dongyang City. They would definitely be anxious after discovering that she had lost contact, but they shouldn't worry too much. After all, they had midnight snacks to accompany them.
...that is, you will most likely get a scolding when the time comes.
But she doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with herself——
After all, I found one of the tombkeepers who was one of the mission targets as soon as I arrived, so I have already started to carry out the mission, okay!
Although she doesn't know what the specific task is...
"It's good not to be in a hurry. You need to be patient to catch that thing."
Bai Mo said mysteriously, turned to look at Yexiao who was standing behind Xue Hongyu, and said with a smile: "You keep silent like this, I almost forgot that there is a person like you."
"Isn't that what you want to catch?"
Xue Hongyu heard the meaning of Bai Mo's words and looked curiously at the fishing rod in his hand - he had never touched this thing before.
"It's not a fish." Bai Mo shook his head, glanced at her, and said with a smile, "What, you want to try it yourself?"
"I don't know how." Xue Hongyu shook his head quickly.
"Neither do I, but this thing doesn't require any skills. Anyway, I can catch it every time I sit here."
Bai Mo handed her the fishing rod.
Xue Hongyu was a little moved, and soon worried that she would be dragged into the sea as soon as she got the fishing rod. But when she saw Bai Mo's encouraging eyes, she immediately felt that she was overthinking it.
After all, if the other party really has any bad intentions, it is obviously much easier to push yourself directly.
Thinking of this, she took the fishing rod and immediately felt that all the noise around her had disappeared. She felt inexplicably peaceful, as if all distracting thoughts had been washed away.
Only Bai Mo's voice sounded in my ears: "How do you feel?"
"Very good." She was silent for a while and then replied.
This fishing rod...could it be some special item?
She didn't think much, but asked: "By the way, how about you tell me about your dream in detail, and I can help you interpret it."
Bai Mo looked suspicious: "Can you still do this?"
"a little."
"What about?"
For example...for example, the dream is the opposite?"
"Can this also be called dream interpretation?"
Bai Mo rolled his eyes at her and said, "In the dream, I was standing on the sea. Are you trying to say that I will fall into the sea today?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant." Xue Hongyu was stunned and quickly explained.
"But every time I dream, I can't remember the content of the dream clearly. I only have some intermittent fragments... Is this abnormal?"
"Of course it's normal." Xue Hongyu shook his head and said, "Everyone has many dreams when they sleep, but they can only remember very few of them."
"Oh...then that's good, I'll tell you about it in general."
"Um."
"..."
After a while, Bai Mo said with admiration: "You know so much!"
"Of course, I'm a doctor!" Xue Hongyu pretended to be proud.
She was a bit dumbfounded. Her original intention was to learn more about Bai Mo's secrets through the so-called dream, but somehow it turned into a chat.
In other words, knowledge popularization...
It can be seen that Bai Mo is very sincere in his treatment of others. He does not hide anything when he speaks. He even goes out early in the morning to fish and eat for them. He obviously treats them as friends.
In contrast, she was always testing the other party's secrets, with some intention of taking advantage, which made her feel a little guilty.
Suddenly, Xue Hongyu felt the fishing rod in his hand move and immediately retracted his thoughts.
Bai Mo also noticed the movement of the fishhook, his eyes lit up and he said: "I'm hooked, I'm hooked, pull it quickly!"
As if infected by his tone, Xue Hongyu was stunned for a moment, then became excited and quickly pulled up the fishing rod.
She didn't know what it was that was biting the hook, but it obviously had some strength and struggled fiercely. She had to use both hands together to raise her head and pull back hard.
Following this action, her eyes fell on the sea not far away.
And just this glance made the excitement on her face disappear instantly.
I saw a white paper boat sailing in the distance!
S-class restricted area—extradition ship!
The speed of the paper boat was neither fast nor slow, but it was obviously coming towards the shore where they were. It kept magnifying in Xue Hongyu's sight, as if it was impacting her soul.
She knows the relevant information about the extradition ship. Once a living creature enters within one kilometer of the ship, it will be forcibly pulled into the ship and disappear from the world completely!
A-level extraordinary people are no exception.
But now, the paper boat is getting closer and closer, and it is about to enter the range of one thousand meters.
Should I call Bai Mo and run away quickly?
When Xue Hongyu hesitated, Bai Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you pull it anymore? Is this turtle too strong?"
Obviously, the special ingredient in his mouth is the so-called turtle.
He kept staring at the sea, his face full of excitement, so he did not notice the white ship approaching in the distance.
"Give me the fishing rod and let me do it!" he said, rolling up his sleeves.
Xue Hongyu no longer hesitated and decided to immediately ask Bai Mo to leave the shore together, so he said: "Let's leave here quickly."
"Why?"
"Look over there..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly froze.
The nearby paper boat suddenly stopped, as if it was watching something. After a moment, it quickly turned around and sailed away at a speed dozens of times faster than before. It was like a white afterimage that quickly disappeared.
Above the sea, it was as if it had never appeared before.
...The posture was like a herbivore suddenly seeing its natural enemy.
Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as a mess...
Xue Hongyu was stunned.
Bai Mo raised his head, looked at the unusually calm sea in the distance, and asked, "What's going on over there?"
Only then did Xue Hongyu realize that this seemingly harmless guy was not an ordinary person after all. The extradition ship must have escaped because of the sight of him!
She hesitated for a moment, then said bravely: "Over there... there is water over there."
