They went out to sea on a passenger boat converted from a fishing boat.
In addition to the "Cube Ark", there is also a diving guide, a captain, two crew members, and two Malay tourists.
Nan Zhou was lying on the bow of the boat, taking off his leather shoes a few steps away, and his bare ankles were still stained with white sand, which was washed by the split snow-white waves.
The warm south wind with the smell of sea salt blew, blowing his black hair into a mess.
The sunset dyed the sea area into a pot of gold, and also faintly melted the wings of the returning seagulls.
At dusk, there are dolphins jumping in the water, stirring the sea surface into twinkling, warm broken gold.
Nan Zhou looked at the dolphin attentively, made no fuss, and only recorded all this with his eyes.
He is like a quiet little monster, and his temperament naturally forms a barrier.
If you want to describe it, he is a character who occupies a space in the comics and is isolated from other characters, forming a small world by itself.
As for Jiang Fang, his ability is that as long as he wants, he can be friends with anyone.
Just now, he was still haggling with the dive guide, and he blocked him so softly that he couldn't speak. Now, he took the initiative to have a relationship with him, and specially taught him some other popular diving spots to attract guests. and vocabulary.
In less than half an hour, the dive guide had already become a buddy of him, patted his chest, and said in Thai with a little accent that he would give them an extra fish tonight.
He pointed a cigarette in the direction of Nanzhou, and curiously asked Jiang Fang in blunt Chinese, "Is that... your friend?"
With a hissing sound, Jiang Fang ignited the handmade cigarette, held it in his mouth, and replied vaguely, "Yes."
The dive guide said: "He is very strange."
He rubbed the ends of his hair with a filter, rubbed some salt into it, rummaged through the limited Chinese vocabulary for a while, and commented, "He doesn't look like a human being."
His description was somewhat rude, but also quite to the point.
—Many people are afraid to get close to Nanzhou, also because Nanzhou is beautiful, but because the proportions, lines and facial features of the body are too perfect, it seems to come out of the painting, it is beautiful and false, as if it will be beaten by the waves at any time Same as wet digestion.
Jiang Fang tilted his head: "It's beautiful, right?"
Dive guide: "Good-looking is good-looking..."
Jiang Fang moved the filter aside with his tongue and smiled, "Mine."
The dive guide gave a meaningful "Oh" and gave Jiang Fang a thumbs up.
Jiang Fang smiled and nodded in greeting, exhausted the cigarette, and walked to Nan Zhou's side.
Nan Zhou turned sideways and made room for him: "You come to praise me for how good-looking I am?"
Jiang Fang stroked his ears with his fingers that smelled of smoke, and said with a smile, "The ears are quite pointed."
Nan Zhou: "How did you find this place?"
He thought that Jiang Fang might have asked the hotel owner's daughter, but his ears and memory were good, and he could hear it clearly. The name of the place they navigated to did not appear in the conversation between Jiang Fang and the girl.
Jiang Fang also had no intention of concealing it.
He pulled the Nanzhou boat to the right side of the boat, and pointed to a green tree not far from the beach: "Did you see that place?"
Nan Zhou: "Hmm."
Jiang Fang looked at him: "Five years later, this place has become a famous tourist attraction. There will be a real estate developed there. It will be a small garden house, which is quite cheap."
Jiang Fang: "I just came back from the quarry, and I had some spare money in my hand."
Having said that, Nan Zhou probably understood.
Nan Zhou: "—ah."
"Yeah." Jiang Fang was stunned by his slightly long tail sound, and rubbed the back of his neck, "I've been here before. This is my house, and in the future, it may be our home..."
After thinking about it, he added a little: "...one of them."
Nan Zhou: "So, this copy is..."
Jiang Fang said frankly: "It's Tyrande from the world I came from five years ago."
Nan Zhou was lying on the rail, "The person behind the game can manipulate time?"
He pondered: "If that's the case, then a lot of wishes can indeed be fulfilled."
Jiang Fang also looked thoughtful.
It's just that what he thought was completely different from Nan Zhou.
Jiang Fang knew that they were in the dungeon and could not really indulge in playing.
He brought Nan Zhou here, on the one hand, thinking about the beautiful scenery, on the other hand, he also wanted to verify his own ideas.
In this place, he happens to have a room.
The dive guide who smoked a cigarette side by side with him just now was also his regular partner when he came to snorkel, and he was an old friend in the real world.
This convinced Jiang Fang that this Tyrande was the Tyrande of the world he came from.
It's just that during this period of time, as a copy, the sheets were cut and retrieved.
Jiang Fang thinks this is very important.
Because this is about the strength of the people behind the scenes.
Before, he contacted Yi Shuige and Lin Zhisong to analyze the strength of the power behind the scenes.
… But at that time, they didn't have the intelligence that the other side could "manipulate time".
If they have the power to manipulate time, it means that the people behind the scenes can really accomplish many impossible wishes.
For example, bringing back the dead.
But at the same time, these players no longer have any room for resistance, the initiative is completely in the hands of the other party, they can only be obedient and let it be.
They can even use this ability to erase their memories near the end of the game, leaving them stuck in endless game cycles forever.
But then, a new problem was born.
If they all have the ability to manipulate time, then their measures against Nan Zhou would be a bit stupid.
For example, after Nan Zhou trapped the boss in the warehouse, they didn't need to update any patches at all, they just reversed the time, couldn't they just take out the boss
Is it not possible to switch back at will
Or is it because you are doing live broadcasts, there is no way to do this kind of tricks
It's a serious question, and it's even about whether they can successfully get out of the game in the future.
Jiang Fang thought about it for a while, then looked back.
The pair of Malay tourists occupied the other end of the boat, taking pictures without end.
The potential leader was bragging with the crew, laughing.
These NPCs have no sense of being NPCs at all.
They go out to travel, or live here peacefully, taking guests out to sea every day, chatting with them, and earning not-so-great money, without the slightest sense that their world has been invaded.
How many such small worlds are hidden between the end and the edge that they can't see.
This kind of illusory feeling ended in Nan Zhou's grasp.
Nan Zhou squeezed his wrist: "Stopped."
Jiang Fang came back to his senses: "Yes, we are here."
Nan Zhou: "Then you can teach me."
Jiang Fang took his hand and stroked his palm with his fingertips: "Well."
Since he fell into this endless copy, among the thousands of virtual images, Nan Zhou is his unique reality.
Not far from them was a small island like a beast's spine.
The location of the dive site is very advantageous. It is located on an ocean trench. The sea water is full of sunlight. Under the fire-splashing sunset, it shows moving gold.
According to the diving guide, the sea conditions here are excellent, and the visibility under the sea can reach seventeen or eighteen meters in good weather conditions.
Before sunset, they dived in the golden current.
Nanzhou's swimming foundation is 0, but in terms of sports, his nerves are naturally superior and tough.
After being taught by Jiang Fang with his belt for a while, he had already learned three swimming styles, but he couldn't tread water like Jiang Fang, and he would sink as soon as he stopped.
After leaving the swimming ring, Jiang Fang was the only person Nan Zhou could rely on in the water.
Jiang Fang's movement of treading water is very natural, the toes swaying slowly in the water like a fish tail, and with a little water-splitting movement on his arms, he can stand in the sea, and his chest line rises and falls on the sea, disappearing and appearing.
Nan Zhou naturally put his arms around Jiang Fang's neck: "Teach me."
Jiang Fang gently pressed his forehead against him, imitating the way undersea creatures say hello: "I don't teach."
Nan Zhou: "If you don't teach me, I can only hug you."
Jiang Fang: "You're welcome, Teacher Nan."
So Nan Zhou took Jiang Fang as his transfer station.
After a few swims, he dives back, hugs his buoy, and rests for a while.
As for Li Yinhang, she only dared to paddle and paddle on the coast, and she was still a little afraid of night diving.
So after she promised not to go into the water, her solo travel expenses were reduced to 400 baht.
She stayed safe on the boat grilling mackerel.
The skin was creaky, the edges were slightly curled, and the tender flesh on the inside was a tantalizingly charred brown.
When they had a simple meal, and at 8:00 sharp, when the moon rose, the true beauty of this sea area was revealed shyly and timidly.
The dive guide and a crew of part-time diving instructors also found their way and signaled in the water that they could come down.
After ear pressure, wearing protective clothing, wearing the main and auxiliary lights and a spare single bottle of oxygen, biting on the breathing tube, Nan Zhou pulled Jiang Fang and slid back into the water along the rubber slide.
Nanzhou began to explore the hinterland of the ocean for the first time in his life.
Among the bright waves, the creatures hidden in the reef during the day began to cruise, showing a completely different biological appearance from the sunset.
Because there is no sunlight to dominate the guest, the water is a bottomless cyan.
So Nan Zhou was fortunate to be in the water and saw a large galaxy.
The jellyfish tails drag luminous filaments, migrating gracefully in groups.
The colorful clownfish poked its head out of the red coral before disappearing without a trace.
There are unknown plankton, revealing blue-blue light, like fireflies on the bottom of the water, alternately on and off, swimming around.
Standing in this fantastic water world, Nan Zhou was peaceful and happy.
The buoyancy of the ocean at night seems to be greater than that during the day, and the degree of freedom has been greatly improved.
The two Malay tourists were very honest and kept up with the dive guide.
It's safe, but misses out on a lot of good views.
Nan Zhou drew the outlines of many images in his mind and swam a little slower.
Until Jiang Fang lit the light for him, signaling him to go over.
Come see the turtles.
Nan Zhou swam towards him, but happened to see the huge sea turtle stretched out its fleshy stubby limbs, gliding in the water, slowly coming towards him.
It's an amazing feeling.
It is not like swimming, it is like wandering freely in the dense air, gliding freely.
For a time, Nan Zhou couldn't tell whether he was in the sea or in the clouds.
And Li Yinhang, who really stayed on the sea, was cleaning up the fish bones left by everyone with an enthusiastic little crew member.
She suddenly heard a surprised "ah" from the crew.
He ran back to the cabin.
Across the dirty glass stained with seawater corrosion, Li Yinhang heard the little crew member whispering something to the captain in Thai.
He speaks so fast that he doesn't understand.
Li Yinhang, who did not understand the language, had no choice but to look around.
I saw a layer of mist on the water, it didn't look scary, and it was quite beautiful.
But she shivered invisibly.
… is that OK
This underwater tour is expected to go around the island for a week, mainly to appreciate the coral, and the time is about 40 minutes.
Nan Zhou did not fall behind.
Under the combined radiance and radiance of the main light and the bc light, the range within three meters can still be illuminated.
He followed the light from the corner of his eye to make sure he didn't get lost, admiring a small blue-and-yellow fish.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye in Nanzhou.
The light source three meters away, like the TV cut off the signal, disappeared with a bang.
Nan Zhou immediately noticed something was wrong and turned around to look.
All around him was empty.
It was just a turn around, and Jiang Fang was gone.
The dive guide, instructor and Malay were gone.
He probed out of the water and found that the boat was also missing.
All he could see was the thick and substantial sea fog.
Nan Zhou frowned slightly, treading water gently like Jiang Fang did.
In the vast expanse of heaven, earth, and ocean, all of a sudden, only Nan Zhou was left alone.
Nan Zhou: "… "
He was a little distressed, and bit the oxygen tube out a little bit of tooth marks.
The searchlight strapped to his wrist gave off a soft white light that could only illuminate a range of less than a meter.
Nanzhou became a small group of luminous creatures in this boundless ocean.
Seeing him levitating, a small fish took him as some kind of creature with a lantern, came wagging its tail, and touched his wrist with a fish kiss.
Nan Zhou was not very flustered, he lowered his head and touched the fish's back, successfully frightening it away.
After floating on the spot for a while, Nan Zhou planned to turn around and swim back according to the route he had just remembered.
However, just as he immersed his face in the sea water, a huge face of a corpse that had been soaked in the view of a giant suddenly appeared in front of his eyepiece, and it was attached directly to him.
—Although the facial features are out of shape, Nan Zhou can see clearly that it belongs to himself.
Nan Zhou didn't hesitate, neither dodging nor dodging, he stretched out his hand to hold the corpse's neck, and then he twisted 180 degrees neatly.
