Chapter 178 Little Love
"It's really dark." Li Sheng's voice rang out in the darkness, "It feels like my girlfriend's parents are away on a business trip and she invited me to her house to hide in bed and watch the luminous toy lights."

"Stop joking around at this time!" Cold sweat oozed from the Red Driver's forehead, and the Fire Rock Rat beside him also cried out in fear.

At this moment, the flames burning on the fire rat's head and tail were clearly not extinguished and were still emitting warmth, but the driver could not see any light at all.

Boom!
The exploration ship, which was sailing on the waves on its own, scraped past the wall of the tube and a large hole was smashed in the right front bow. Tons of seawater immediately poured in, making a gurgling sound.

Zhao Zijing quickly released telekinesis, wrapped the bow of the ship, and forcibly pushed the ship away from the tube wall.

In this completely dark environment, telekinesis is a bit like the ultrasonic wave of a bat, which can roughly detect the surrounding environment and form a model in the mind.

She could feel that the tunnel ahead was becoming winding, narrow and cramped.

"I'm blind?"

"Why can't I see anything?!"

In the cabin, the Filipino youth Mendoza and the black guy Miles screamed in fear. As they could not see the road at all and the boat was bumpy, they slipped and fell to the ground, screaming in pain.

On the contrary, the bandaged man remained calm. Not only did he lean against the wall, he also pulled the London girl Catherine, held the wall handrails tightly with both hands, and lowered his body's center of gravity to prevent falling.

"Don't make any noise."

Zhao Zijing multitasked, using telekinesis to scoop out the water in the hull, welding the damaged ship with a steel plate welding torch, and at the same time shouted loudly, "Xiao Ai, report the cause of the autonomous navigation system failure."

"I'm here."

The artificial intelligence assistant of the ship's master control system said through the radio: "This ship uses the Prometheus TZ300 autonomous navigation system. At present, the ship's automatic identification system (AIS) and ship's inertial navigation system (IMU) are still working normally.

The radar, depth sounder, and camera failed for unknown reasons, resulting in the failure of dynamic path planning and obstacle detection and avoidance functions.

AI Assistant
While the artificial intelligence assistant was reporting, the drone swarms in the front and rear, which relied on various sensors to maintain their flight posture, also crashed or made emergency landings on the deck of the ship.

Due to the narrowness of the pipe and the accelerated water flow, the exploration ship almost hit the pipe wall.

Zhao Zijing released his telekinesis in time, which acted like an anti-collision airbag, acting as a cushion and forcibly turned the boat over.

This move consumed about 30 points of spiritual energy. If this continued, he would be exhausted to death even if he didn't drown.

Zhao Zijing asked in a deep voice: "Do you have any way to stop the ship? For example, destroy the pipe wall or insert the anchor into it."

"Let me try. Infernape, use the cross attack to the right."

Crimson Racer threw a Poké Ball, and the Charmeleon he had used in the last script mission evolved into Rockwraith, and the original Fighting-type Pokémon Monkey King also evolved into Infernape.

The tunnel became much narrower. There was no need to aim. Infernape swung his fists at the wall of the tunnel, chopping it crosswise.

Boom!
The force of this blow was comparable to a demolition blast, but in Zhao Zijing's vague perception, the pipe wall was undamaged.

The red driver was surprised and said, "What on earth is this wall made of? Is it a material that absorbs light and becomes hard?!"

"Not sucking light."

Li Sheng said slowly: "These searchlights are still generating heat and still emitting light. It's just that the path for the light to be transmitted has been obliterated."

He took out several different types of night vision goggles from the high-rise warehouse and installed them on his eye sockets using his [Assembly Puppet] ability.

The principles of low-light night vision goggles, infrared night vision goggles, and thermal imaging night vision goggles are different.

Low light is to amplify the light that already exists in the environment. Infrared is to actively illuminate the target with an infrared searchlight and receive the reflected infrared radiation to form an image. Thermal imaging is to passively receive infrared radiation.

No matter what kind of night vision device Li Sheng put on, there was no reaction and he still couldn't see anything. In other words, the concept of "light" itself was taken away.

"Take the Light"

Zhao Zijing's mind raced, he put his palms together and released his skills.

[Skill name: Dot Detection]

[Type: Psychic]

[Special effect: Mark a point. Scan the surroundings and mark all the existences that meet the concept of life within a certain range in the form of a dot matrix. The stronger the life energy, the denser the dot matrix]

[Consumption: at least 100 spiritual power points. Depends on the detection range]

[Cooling time: 10 minutes]

[Note: Lao Wang, Lao Wang, don’t be crazy. Transparent cabinet, solid bed, I’ll see where you can hide.]

Zhao Zijing is an official member of the Global Occult Coalition (GOC) on the surface, but she was actually selected by the Special Affairs Bureau from within the organization and sent to the GOC. Her hometown is in Sichuan Province.

Therefore, she not only gets the allowance from the GOC organization, but also the benefits from the Special Affairs Bureau. Her equipment and skills are much more luxurious than those of players of the same level.

This [Dot Detection] skill can be called a magical skill of reconnaissance. The detection range includes existence that conforms to the concept of life. It can effectively detect the enemy's position, number, and even prevent invisibility.

After using the skill, dense white spots immediately appeared in front of Zhao Zijing's eyes.

The light points of the four ordinary people, including the bandaged man, were the weakest, with a brightness only about that of a candle.

The Pokémon around the Red Racer were as bright as light bulbs, but he himself was a little dimmer - there was a high probability that he could not defeat his own Pokémon.

Zhao Zijing herself is at the same level as Howl at Midnight, which is equivalent to a flashlight.

As for the ant, its brightness is comparable to that of a street lamp?

When Zhao Zijing saw him releasing poisonous smoke, she originally thought he was a spellcaster-type player, but she didn't expect his physical fitness to be so strong.

The brightness of the light spot only represents the level of life energy, and does not represent the strength of the player (after all, there are still skills and props not taken into account).

In addition to humans, the massive amount of tiny bacteria on the surface of the hull also appeared in the field of vision in the form of extremely faint light spots, just outlining the contours of the hull.

No hostile targets found? Wait
Zhao Zijing's hands trembled. She indeed did not find any hostile presence on the ship, because the entire ship was enveloped by a huge mass of chaotic matter.

This chaotic substance was like a cloud, without any basic shape. It tightly enveloped the entire exploration ship and sailed on the water with the ship.

As time goes by, the chaotic matter displayed by the [Dot Detection] skill becomes brighter at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It is strengthening itself.

Zhao Zijing put his palms together as a knife, and chopped the blade above his head with telekinesis. He did not touch the texture of the entity, and the chaotic matter was also unharmed.

Before she could think about it, she called out on her tablet: "Xiao Ai, open the GOC database and search for the keywords 'light', 'conceptual deprivation', and 'cloud-like creatures'."

The tablets issued by GOC use the same voice assistant as the expedition ship.

As for why it is Xiao Ai classmate
Maybe it’s because Xiao Ai works for Xiaomi, and the GOC executive, Seraphim Michael, also has the word “Mi” in his name. Probably.
