Chapter 141 Play: Approaching the Ocean
Wan Yi found a good place to fish. Taking advantage of the beautiful afternoon sunshine, he lay down and went to the theater.
Familiar setting, but today the person present is not Red but Liang Rendao.
"Oh? You came so early today?" Liang Rendao said with a smile.
"You're here today. I've seen you come up more often recently," Wan Yi said.
"After all, you looked better after escaping, and with Rhett joining in, the place has become a lot more lively, and there is more interest." Liang Rendao explained.
Wan Yi came directly to the script stage, picked up Luo Xi's script and opened it, then came to sit next to Liang Rendao.
"You've been paying a lot of attention to Luo Xi's scripts recently."
Wan Yi nodded: "The sea monster is coming. Although many similarities have been determined, it is still unclear whether Luo Xi is within the sea monster boundary."
This is what Wan Yi has always wanted to be sure of.
This result cannot be said to be unimportant to Wan Yi.
Because if it is determined that Luo Xi is within this boundary, then some other guesses will also have results.
For example, if the people in the play all exist in a certain corner or boundary of this world...
The stage changes and the play begins again.
…
As soon as he came up, Luo Xi opened his eyes in his sleep.
He rubbed his eyes in confusion, then went to the bucket in the corner of the room, took some water and splashed it on his face to wake himself up.
After doing this, he glanced outside the window. It was dark. Luo Xi shook his head, sat down in the room at the simple wooden table he built using materials from the craftsmen in the village, and started writing.
I originally thought it would be another scene that was quickly skipped, but unexpectedly, Luo Xi's monologue was heard in the theater.
"I woke up early again, and restless sleep filled every cold night of mine. Although it is not yet dark, but according to my experience of coming to this village and this world for more than two years, today will still be cloudy. sky."
"It is rare to see sunlight in this world, and the air is inseparable from the disgusting smell of the sea all day long. It is humid and disgusting. Fortunately, I am used to it and can be calm about it, but I still hate this feeling. . I don’t know how I once felt about the ocean, but there is no doubt that now I will definitely answer in one word: disgust.”
"My dream, it's very strange. Neither Shan nor Mahad can explain it clearly. They said it should be the call from the blood flowing in my body, the ocean, and I need to resist it. But, I know that it is far away not all."
"I saw more in my dream. Towering buildings made of cement, steel beasts speeding on the road, islands floating in the sky...many, many, those have nothing to do with the ocean, more like they come from myself, really Confusing."
"I sometimes feel like I have different versions of myself who are doing a lot of different things and going through different experiences. Occasionally, I can relate to them. It's such a terrible feeling that it wakes me up all of a sudden. .”
"Recently, the sounds from the ocean have become stronger and there are more and more broken images. I feel like something is approaching. Could this be a disaster or an opportunity?"
Luo Xi's pen tip paused for a moment, and then left a final note: "The opportunity to find your true self."
After finishing writing, he sorted out the scattered pamphlets in front of him, straightened them up, and placed them under the pillow on the bed.
Then he came to the table and pulled out the big anchor from the foot of the table.
He carefully carried the anchor so as not to break anything in the house, and then went out.
There is basically no accurate time here, and with the darkness all day long, the sense of time will be seriously blurred.
For more than two years, Luo Xi felt that his life seemed to be getting more and more confusing.
It seems that no one in the village has gotten up yet.
He scoffed.
Although he didn't know why, he felt that people in this village should get up very early. This inexplicable impression came from one of his broken dreams.
But most of the time Luo Xi is the first to get up here.
Besides that, there is Grandpa Mahad.
Seeing no one, Luo Xi hurriedly touched the nearby coast.
Afraid of being seen and directly asked to do work.
"Good morning, nasty sea." When he came to the beach, he shouted to the black ocean.
The only response to it was the consistent sound of the ocean tide.
A great day starts with checking the shore for traps.
These traps were basically made by Mahad. In the entire village, there are only four people who have the courage to hunt those strange fish alone.
Luo Xi, Shan, Mahad, and a stupid young man that Luo Xi didn't want to mention.
Mahad was a foreigner, but he came to the village when the sea monster came ashore, killed all the sea monsters and saved the village, so everyone respected him.
Shan was a child who was rescued by Mahad when Mahad first came. He has been studying with Mahad, and now he has grown up and has become a pillar of the village.
Everyone feels that Mahad is getting old, and one day Shan will take over the responsibilities of Mr. Mahad and completely become the new patron saint of the village.
As for Luo Xi, he probably managed to improve his reputation among the villagers to a good level within two years.
Something like a patron saint is almost enough. The people in the village are so simple and real.
No one in the village knew the specific origin of Mahad. He made some insinuations and only found out that when Mahad came to the village, he was covered in blood and accompanied by several people wearing the same uniform as him. corpse.
In the end, he buried the corpses on a mountain far away from the sea.
Luo Xi guessed that Mahad might have been a member of some organized force, and those corpses were his teammates.
As for why people didn't go back to work after surviving, there were many ways to do it, and Luo Xi didn't think about it.
None of the traps were triggered, there were no signs of sea monsters coming ashore, everything was normal.
This is the normal situation.
The greater function of the trap is actually a warning. Just like when Luo Xi first arrived, the villagers came soon after the trap was triggered.
Sea monsters basically don't just run to the shore. Except for regular periods when the tide is particularly fierce, their ferocity will be aroused, and then they will form a "wave" and wash ashore.
That's when Luo Xi is busier.
On weekdays, it would be a bit difficult to see a sea monster if you don't take the initiative to look for it.
Of course, letting the blood flow into the sea is another matter.
After confirming that nothing happened on the shore, he walked along the rocks and stepped into the water with his boots. The ocean was in front of him, but he did not stop and instead continued to move forward.
The cold water gave him the comfort of returning to his mother's arms, as if he should have lived in the sea instead of on land.
But he soon recovered from this frequent feeling.
Mother, this word is equally unfamiliar to him.
There is even an indescribable resistance in the broken dream.
Not thinking about this, he dived into the sea and wandered in the shallow sea.
Although his limbs were not specifically used to paddle, and even the clothes and equipment on his body were quite heavy, he could easily float in the sea and swim quickly in all directions.
This was discovered when he accidentally fell into the sea while fighting against the siege of many sea monsters during a wave.
That time, Luo Xi showed amazing talent in fighting in the sea.
However, when he dyed the sea water red with the blood of the sea monster and walked ashore, he found that the eyes of Mahad and Shan were a little complicated when they looked at him.
Even when he asked questions, both of them avoided answering.
They just wanted him to spend less time in the water.
He temporarily obeyed, but every few days, he would still use this ability to clean up the sea monsters wandering along the coast to reduce the pressure of the next wave.
He still has no sense of belonging to the village, but Shan is a good friend and Mahad is a fairly respected teacher.
Mahad is getting older, and his condition can be said to have dropped off a cliff compared to two years ago.
Reducing the pressure of the waves might help the eccentric old man live a few more years.
Several of the most common four-legged monster fish swam past. Their cloudy eyes glanced at Luo Xi, and then swam side by side with him.
This is also a characteristic discovered by Luo Xi.
If he is in the sea and does not make any offensive moves, most sea monsters will not be aggressive towards him.
Taking this opportunity, he also went to observe the nearby sea monsters and record some ecology, just as entertainment in his spare time.
Unfortunately, this calm will soon be broken.
He waved the anchor carelessly.
There was still no resistance underwater, and he even felt smoother. The impression in his mind told him that this was against common sense, but another feeling told him not to care, because there must be more outrageous things in the world. .
The sharp blade of Anchor Crown easily cut off several four-legged monster fish.
Sea monsters in the sea have a tenacious vitality. This kind of injury is enough to cause death on land, but in seawater, they will remain active for at least three hours. This is the result of Luo Xi's observation and estimation.
He waved the anchor again and tore the fish monster into pieces.
The flesh was still squirming, but it was no longer a threat.
The sea monster's blood spreads.
Luo Xi speculated that their blood spreading in the seawater should convey some kind of message to the surrounding sea monsters, probably similar to a warning.
That's why every time he kills the first sea monster, the subsequent sea monsters nearby will judge it as an enemy.
The timeliness of this information varies depending on the species of sea monster.
He stretched out his hand to touch the blood spreading in the sea water. Goosebumps lightly appeared on his body, but they quickly faded away.
He can also receive the message to some extent.
But it's much slower than a normal sea monster, and it doesn't feel anything at all if it's farther away.
I don't know when I started to feel it, and Luo Xi couldn't remember clearly.
Maybe he's transforming into something akin to a sea monster.
But what the heck, the cry of the ocean was not as confusing as the shattered dreams.
He continued to swim, but something was strange.
"There are quite a few sea monsters. Because I stayed in bed last time, so I probably haven't come to clean them for about a week. The sea monsters here haven't grown back yet?" Those things have always given him the impression that they are almost endless.
After swimming along the coast a few times and making sure that there was nothing else to gain, he went back.
Carrying the anchor and walking ashore, the sea breeze gave him a chill.
My body, which had become heavy again, felt a little uncomfortable.
He looked and saw a figure standing on the shore.
He was a young man with bronzed skin, a strong figure, sharp muscles, and extremely well developed. However, he looked at Luo Xi with deep hostility in his eyes.
"Tuluo, good morning." Luo Xi greeted.
"You went to the sea again."
Hearing the other party's tone, Luo Xi had long been used to it and didn't look at him again: "I'm hunting, not playing."
"Who knows, we don't know what you do in the sea." The young man named Tu Luo groaned.
"Would you like this for you?" Luo Xi took out a fish head directly.
Tu Luo was startled, but quickly calmed down: "Is that all? A sea monster makes you so complacent. You, a foreigner, are not qualified to be a hunter in the village!"
"I didn't want to at first, just go get angry with Mahad and Shan." Luo Xi retracted the fish head boringly, then walked past him towards the village.
It's getting brighter and it's gradually becoming more popular.
Luo Xi knew that after the easiest work of the day was done, the next step would be some dirty work.
