"I'm curious, why did the executive department not send out... real elites after it was known that this was the palace of Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire?" Xia Xian sat boredly on the folding chair where Ye Sheng had been reading, reading.
Mance, who was walking back and forth, and Thelma, who was keeping an eye on Ye Sheng and their heartbeat monitors.
"Because the Executive Department trusted your report - Norton is no longer here." Mance turned around, "Toppling this palace with great fanfare? No, this is not the style of the Executive Department."
He stared into Xia Xian's eyes: "We are travelers walking in the darkness. Since the history of the Dragon Clan is hidden in our world, it is naturally impossible for us to wage war against it openly."
"As for the real elites you mentioned..." Mance smiled slightly, "Principal Angers and the others are always monitoring this place from a safe distance. If Samson breaks out in riots, or more seriously attracts Norton who is hiding somewhere,
The execution department will carry out the most thorough sniper attack on him."
Xia Xian clicked his tongue, "I hope so."
In fact, what he is thinking is that the Samson down there may be enough for you to eat a pot, and then he may have to take action again...
Sniper Norton? That is even more of an ideal ending... Do you think you have the aura of the protagonist?
At this time, on Selma's screen, Ye Sheng's heartbeat rate began to decline in a landslide-like image, directly reaching the terrifying number of thirty beats per minute.
Thelma's expression changed, but Mance quickly held her shoulders, stopping her from wanting to stand up:
"Don't panic, this is Ye Sheng's state of using the spirit of speech."
Xia Xian leaned on the back of the folding chair and whispered: "Yan Ling·Snake."
No wonder the execution department wants to send Ye Sheng, this Yanling is indeed suitable for difficult exploration missions.
"Captain, the Maritime Safety Administration of the Yangtze River Channel has informed us that there may be an underwater earthquake with magnitude five intensity!" the third officer said loudly, "They insisted on sending a rescue helicopter to us. Maybe they realized something was wrong here."
Xia Xian's eyes moved slightly, and he slowly looked downwards. A light golden light shone in the depths of his black pupils.
Through the deck and dozens of meters of deep water, he saw Yaji holding Ye Sheng in the water.
Ye Sheng's face was deathly gray, with only his unsettling light golden pupils shining. Aji hugged Ye Sheng tightly, trying to make him feel her body temperature.
Xia Xian did not continue to look at them, but continued to extend his gaze downwards.
Looking back, Xia Xian's mouth twitched slightly:
What kind of magnitude 5 underwater earthquake is this? It’s obviously Samson and Kuilong who are causing trouble!
Mance walked into the front cabin, came close to Thelma, and stared at Ye Sheng's heartbeat test, "Delay a little longer, the earthquake is really bad news. I have a feeling... we are already approaching...
Very close.”
Xia Xian hesitated.
Because if we delay for a while, the underwater situation may be very bad, and the safety of both of them may be threatened.
Suddenly, there was a violent tremor in the hull of the Monyach.
Xia Xian was silent for a while: "Professor Mance... No, Captain, I suggest you let them surface quickly."
Mance looked back at him.
This glance contained a lot of meaning, and the confusion at that moment quickly turned into trust in Xia Xian. He knew that this boy was in the same position as Ye Sheng and Yaji not long ago, and even the crisis he suffered was more severe.
, his suggestion at this moment is definitely the most reasonable!
"Ye Sheng, Ya Ji, prepare to surface." Mance rushed to Selma's screen and said into the intercom, "There may be an underwater earthquake with a magnitude of five intensity tonight, and there is danger under water now."
The next second, before even having time to receive feedback from Ye Sheng and Yaji, another violent water oscillation occurred.
The entire river surface even tilted faintly visible to the naked eye.
"The underwater earthquake has started... Damn it! Their warning this time must be too accurate!" On the Monyach, Mance clearly knew what was happening underwater from the sonar map, and he turned to face
The first mate shouted, "Reel the line! Reel the line! Pull them up!"
The turbine rotated, and the black rope, which served as both a lifeline and a signal line, began to be recovered. But at this time, Mance heard a crashing sound coming from the sound of wind and rain outside, and then the turbine speed lost control. Mance's expression suddenly changed,
The turbine speed was out of control because there was no tension acting on it and the lifeline broke.
Xia Xian sighed expressionlessly.
This is quite expected.
In the face of any crisis that could put one's life in danger, any second of hesitation and delay in decision-making may cost one's life in vain.
There was deathly silence in the front cabin. Mance inserted his hands into his hair and combed it back so hard that it hurt at the roots.
Thelma was petrified. She had never experienced life and death so close to reality - there was an earthquake underwater and what did it mean if the lifeline was broken?
A voice suddenly sounded from behind Mance and Thelma: "Leave it to me."
Xia Xian put on Ye Sheng's combat uniform, put on a diving suit that was countless times better than the inferior version he had used before entering the water, and stepped out of the front cabin.
"I'll bring them up."
"Xia Xian, this is too dangerous!" Mance growled.
Xia Xian froze for a moment, then turned his head with his trademark lazy smile: "Maybe you don't believe it, if I can't bring them up, no one on this ship can."
"Or do you want your two students to die?"
Mance was stunned.
Thelma also covered her mouth and looked at this junior student who was nominally hers. His words were like a bolt of lightning striking their heads, making them both unable to react for a moment.
When they came to their senses again, Xia Xian had already stepped onto the deck, and there was a "plop" sound coming into the water amidst the sound of wind and rain outside.
"Captain...he went down." Thelma said in a daze.
"I know." Mance's voice trembled slightly, "If I had been as decisive as him ten years ago, maybe..."
...
Xia Xian dived into the river like the most agile fish, with the golden stream of light in her eyes carrying her tail straight to the bottom of the water.
"After rescuing them, find a reason to be swept away by Samson." Xia Xian pondered, "Why don't you give them the bone bottle? I can always keep an eye on Norton's movements when I return him to Cassel College. He will definitely
Will come back to collect my brother's eggs..."
Just as he was diving down, a creepy sound came from all around the bottom of the river, as if someone was rubbing two pieces of rusty iron against your ears.
"They activated Bronze City?" Xia Xian was stunned.
Then he looked towards the huge palace at the bottom of the river.
Tens of thousands of bronze gears slowly began to rotate. The rust on the bronze gears began to peel off, and the teeth clenched together to make a rattling sound. A huge bell with an unprecedented shape rang, with a bronze pendulum surrounding the bearing.
Vibrating back and forth, the snake-faced man on the bronze wall moved at the same time, raising the tooth wat in his hand, bending the slender snake neck, looking up at the dome, like an ancient pilgrimage ceremony.
But the funniest thing among them lies in the bottomless darkness...
Kuilong is prostrate there.
It stared at Ye Sheng and Ya Ji in the distance.
The two young men had no idea what they might encounter next.
Xia Xian clearly saw that countless vacuum snakes began to return from the bronze wall, but their destination was not Ye Sheng, but all the places they thought were safe - yes, they were escaping!
...
Kassel Academy Library and Main Control Room at this time.
The teak bookshelves on the high ceiling moved away on both sides, revealing a giant screen that was a hundred inches tall.
A huge three-dimensional simulated image appeared on the screen, with rulers in the corners. It was a small city cast in bronze!
All the outstanding A-level and above students and professors from Kassel College gathered together, trying to resonate with him and have spiritual vision, and find a way to escape.
"Has Xia Xian entered the water?" Chu Zihang suddenly asked his mentor.
Schneider was silent for a while: "Going down."
Chu Zihang's face was gloomy and terrifying, Nono crossed his arms in his arms and frowned.
"What is he doing as a first grader?" Caesar asked solemnly.
Schneider turned his head: "He said he wanted to bring Ye Sheng and Ya Ji up."
...
Under water, Ye Sheng unlocked the spiritual words and regained his strength.
He turned around to hold Aji's hand, but Aji didn't move. She turned on the low light in the helmet so that Ye Sheng could see her face. Her lips were moving, but Ye Sheng couldn't hear her voice.
The signal line between the two people was broken just now.
"We will die." Ye Sheng said.
They did not wait for support from the academy, and all the vacuum snakes disappeared without bringing back the correct escape route.
The blue water reflected on their faces, and the water was eerily quiet, as if they were the only two people at the end of the world.
Aki's tears slowly crawled down her cheeks, "Let's stay here, I want to look at you, there is not much time left... I have something I have wanted to say to you for a long time...
....I......"
"I love you too." Ye Sheng cut her off simply and neatly. He did something that might be punished by the execution department, and kissed Aji hard on the lips. Aji was stunned.
This may be the most beautiful goodbye.
Unless...it's not time to say goodbye yet.
"Ahem... You two have a long life left in your life. You can say 'I love you' anytime."
An obviously laughing voice appeared in the ears of the two of them.
He obviously wasn't connected to the radio channel, but it was clearly visible.
Ye Sheng and Yaji were still hugging each other, but they suddenly turned their heads and looked in the same direction.
At the same time, Xia Xian, who appeared like a miracle, stretched out his two arms and firmly grasped their shoulders:
