"Well, when I was in Qingdao, I also came into contact with two Japanese girls. They were trained by the sea people to speak Chinese, and then they were sent to Qingdao to do political propaganda." After listening to Mizuki Nana's words, Liu Chang thought about it. I thought, and told her about the situation in Qingdao.
"Well, the sea people have their own ideas." Hearing Liu Chang's words, the leader of the tribe also said, thinking of the current situation of Ryukyu Island: "These islands don't actually have many things that the sea people need, and we people also get it." They counted the help at the right time - the help given when our population was almost extinct. But anyway, we are now at ease without them. Although there is some emotional conflict, the fact is that we still have to thank them .”
The female leader in front of her uttered something that seemed like a tongue twister—but Liu Chang discerned countless useful information from it.
So, he nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, sir, since you can come here from China, you must be definitely not an ordinary person. Since we are both human beings, we should be closer emotionally." Mizuki Nana also smiled when she heard Liu Chang's words Nodding his head, a little crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes. She put her palm on top of the heated wine glass, and said, "Sake, but drink it warm now."
"Well, the alcohol content is too low. In such a cold day, it would be nice to have some spirits." Liu Chang picked up the lukewarm wine glass and drank it down, chatting about some seemingly insignificant topics, "It's so cold My god, I guess only wine with a temperature above fifty-five degrees will not solidify."
"The temperature outside at night is minus 70 degrees. When we were in school, our teacher did a coagulation experiment. The alcohol of 60 degrees will freeze at minus 80 degrees. Like our sake, which is only a dozen degrees, I guess it will freeze if it is less than twenty degrees below zero." Mizuki Nana also followed Liu Chang's words, and just when the two were about to chat a few words about family matters to increase mutual trust and then exchange more information , the paper door was swung open, and an excited young man rushed in.
"Sister, I heard that a Chinese is coming!" The young man rushed into the room and made a loud noise. Liu Chang turned his head and found a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing thick clothes. He was wearing a huge tattered woolen hat on his head, and he was holding a tattered manga that had turned yellow and moldy to the point of being out of shape.
"Xiong Er, go out and don't disturb the guests." The female tribal leader frowned when she saw the young man rushing in, and the two men standing behind her immediately walked forward contentedly, trying to pull the young man away.
But it was stopped by Liu Chang——
"It's okay, I can see that the boy is more lively." Liu Chang waved his hand, and the boy seemed a little afraid of the two men who arrested him, but he slipped away and ran to Liu Chang's side.
"Can you speak English?" After the young man sat next to Liu Chang, Liu Chang asked tentatively—he can't speak Japanese, and currently only masters three languages: the language of the sea people, Chinese and English, and he came to Japan in advance. I didn't think about it, so I didn't waste those hours browsing words and pronunciation.
"A little bit, not very good." The young man stammered to answer Liu Chang's words, and then excitedly used crappy or even wrong words to organize the language that only Liu Chang, a brain mutant like Liu Chang, could distinguish, and asked : "Did you really come from the other side of the sea?"
"Well, from the other side of the sea, from China." Liu Chang nodded and answered, and glanced at Nana Mizuki.
"Is the sea wonderful?" The boy asked, pointing to a manga that was so old that it would fall apart if touched, "Have you read "One Piece"?"
"I've seen it, the story of a group of men taking risks in the sea." Liu Chang nodded. He had indeed read a lot of this best-selling manga in Japan when he was a student.
"Is the sea fun now? My sister doesn't let me get close to the sea at all. Even if it's hunting, she says that I won't go out until I'm an adult." The boy said.
"Because the sea is very dangerous." Liu Chang thought for a while, and told the boy what he knew about the real situation, "The current sea, except for the ice outside, is only a short distance of one or two hundred meters, and even this short There are also countless water monsters that are more terrifying than those in One Piece comics. Some of them are huge in size, some are extremely insidious, and some will release venom. Unlike in One Piece, you can almost never defeat them. A water monster that is much bigger than you, because quality almost determines everything. Large creatures have no natural enemies."
"So that's the case." The real sea that Liu Chang said didn't scare the young man away, he seemed to know something about the sea, "So it's really the case. I've read some preview manuals written by those sea bugs before. , I thought it was made up by those monsters to scare people, but I didn't expect it to be so scary."
"Well, this is just the shallow sea area, and the things in the middle sea area are even more terrifying." Liu Chang smiled, grabbed something he was interested in from the boy's mouth and asked: "Do you still have the manual you mentioned? "
"Written by a sea bug?"
"Yes." Liu Chang nodded.
"Yes..." As the boy spoke, his eyes drifted to his sister.
Afterwards, Mizuki Nana took over the conversation, "Mr. Liu, please come with me."
From the reception room all the way to the storage room of the middle-aged woman, Liu Chang took a beautifully crafted manual from her hand. The material of the manual is not paper, it looks pliable, and it exudes a pungent smell-obviously embalmed for the end of the world-this kind of thing is usually written by people under the sea.
"This thing is sold in New Okinawa City, but the price is very, very expensive." After the female leader handed the small booklet to Liu Chang, she said, "This is all compiled by the people on the bottom of the sea, with pictures, notes, and maps. And area marks, it is a relatively detailed subsea survival manual. They seem to be very strict about intellectual property rights, and whoever dares to copy something sold by them will have serious consequences if they know it, so I will give it to you. "
"No, I'll just read it once." After receiving the "Preview of Dangerous Creatures Under the Sea", Liu Chang couldn't hold back his curiosity, and started to read it on the spot.
The first page that opened was the head of a huge monster.
Then there was a map of the world, which was densely marked with four dots in red, yellow, blue and black.
